Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

To Sijun, Manxian's exclamation seemed so commonplace.

After all, for Sijun, his grandmother’s complaints have always rang in his ears since he was a child.

Grandma complained that Sijun's mother ignored her son, and Sijun's father also often complained.

But for Sijun, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, his grandparents loved him so much, and he spent his childhood entertaining himself, so he felt pretty happy.

Man Xian now understood why Si Jun was such a homebody and had almost no social connections. It was actually caused by his living environment since childhood.

From the first time she met this boy, Man Xian always felt that he was lacking some kind of spiritual nourishment, but she never figured out what it was.

But now, she began to understand that this family was not as harmonious as Sijun's mother had told her. On the contrary, the contradictions had been hidden in everyone's heart for decades, so much so that Sijun's parents were actually numb and felt as if nothing had happened.

But she could imagine how deep the grudges of the older generation were. A mother did not raise her own children, but raised her sister's children, while her sister was working and enjoying life in another place. This was an invisible and cruel harm to her husband's family and children.

Sijun is this child, and now, I have become the child's wife.

Man Xian really didn't know what to say. Just as she was lost in thought, Si Jun stammered, "There is something I want to tell you."

"I hate your tone of voice. You're hesitant. Why don't you just say it directly? Why do you always hesitate and act coyly every time you have something to say? It makes people feel uncomfortable."

Sijun said: "Okay, then I'll just say it straight... I'm thinking... should we call each other's parents 'Dad' or 'Mom'?"

Man Xian sighed and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about this question for a long time. This afternoon, I saw your mother and really wanted to do it, but I found that I couldn't even say it out loud. In addition to the fact that your parents and I have always had a grudge, there is another reason. In fact, I have also told you that I have never called my parents that since I was a child."

"Yes, you told me. In your hometown, you always call your parents by their names in their native dialect, and never call them 'Dad' or 'Mom'."

"So, you have to know that I have never called my parents, who gave birth to me and raised me for thirty years, that. Now I am asked to call two people who have nothing to do with me at the same time. I really can't open my mouth."

"But, we should call them that, isn't that what everyone does? You haven't called your parents that, that's the custom over there. But according to tradition, a daughter-in-law should call her parents that after she gets married. I should call your parents that too."

"I know, give me some time to think about it. I'm not in this state yet." Man Xian said in a low voice.

In Manxian's mind, she has imagined countless times what her future parents-in-law will look like, and of course she also knows how to address them.

She also hopes to have a good relationship with her future parents-in-law, so Sijun's suggestion is exactly what she has been thinking about for a long time.

Although they have never addressed their parents who gave birth to them and raised them, as Sijun said, that is the custom in their hometown and everyone is used to it. But according to popular custom, they should address each other as their parents. Although there are some conflicts caused by differences in concepts, addressing them as such is natural.

Man Xian felt very confused and panicked, a panic that many people couldn't understand.

Sijun actually understood the difficulties in her heart, so he did not force her, hoping that she could have more time to adapt.

After his mother came, Sijun lived in his own house in the university town at noon every day, and would come to the rented house to have dinner with Manxian and his mother in the evening.

Sijun always feels particularly nervous whenever he is with the two of them.

He especially hoped that the two women could get along better so that he would feel more relaxed.

So every time they talked, Sijun was terrified, fearing that his mother would say something that would displease Manxian, or that Manxian would say something that would displease his mother.

A few days passed and there seemed to be no obvious problems, but Man Xian was still unable to call out "Mom".

Sijun received an overtime assignment, and one night he had to spend the night in the house in the university town and had no way to go to Manxian's place.

That night, he received another call from his father.

On the other end of the phone, the father's tone sounded particularly happy: "That's great! Son! Your mother called me and said that Man Xian finally called her mom!"

Sijun was also very happy after hearing this, but he didn't say much, just said "oh, oh" twice.

"Very good, very good! This is a good start, keep up the good work! I won't bother you if you work overtime!" After saying that, his father hung up the phone.

The next night, Sijun finished his work and returned to his rented apartment. He asked Manxian why she screamed.

Man Xian looked depressed.

Sijun felt very strange and asked her quickly: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy again? My dad said that you are willing to call me mom, and they are all very happy."

"How should I put it... I just tried to call her, but it didn't feel good. Instead, it felt weird. It's the first time in 30 years that I called someone 'Mom'."

Sijun smiled and said, "So do you want your children to call you by your name or 'Mom' in the future? Didn't I tell you not to use your hometown as a reference? After all, it's different from the general public."

Man Xian said, "Ah... How can I put it? You know how she still looked superior when I called her? It felt like we weren't family at all. I guess, after all, we're not related by blood, so calling her that really makes me feel uncomfortable."

"You'll get used to it slowly."

"Hehe, do you know what your mother said to me last night?"

"Don't take what she said to you before to heart! In the past, many matchmakers introduced blind dates to me, but I really didn't think there were many good ones, and there were even fewer girls who liked me. I am very self-aware in this regard."

"That's not what your mother said tonight. She said a lot of things that I guess you've never heard before."
