The day before getting the marriage certificate, my boyfriend Li Fei's mother suddenly visited.

I thought it was just a visit, so I bought groceries and prepared to welcome her back home.

But as soon as I entered, I saw Li Fei's mother's luggage piled up in the living room.

"Qingqing, Mom sold the old house at home, Dad is packing up and will come in a couple of days.

"In the future, the two elders will live with us."

Li Fei smiled and took the bag from my hands.

I frowned and quietly asked Li Fei, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me?"

I had told Li Fei early on that I wouldn't live with my in-laws after marriage, and Li Fei had promised, even boasting that his mom and dad would never disturb us after marriage. But I didn't expect his family to change so quickly.

Selling the old family house to live in the marriage house my parents bought for me, what kind of situation is this?

Seeing my displeased expression, Li Fei tried to please me with a smile, "Qingqing, my mom didn't tell me about selling the house in advance, and now she has come to seek refuge with me.

"I can't just kick her out, my mom raised me single-handedly.

"Please understand, my mom also brought your favorite Eight Treasure Porridge for you."

I pursed my lips, remembering the expired Eight Treasure Porridge his mom gave me last time.

I remained silent.

Coincidentally, Li Fei's mother suddenly came out of the kitchen.

Seeing me holding cherries, she frowned and said, "Song Qingqing, why are you spending money on such expensive fruits again?

"Are you too greedy? You bought bubble tea the day before yesterday, durian yesterday, no matter how much money my son earns, he can't afford your extravagance."

Li Fei's mother scolded me like a firecracker, spitting all over my face. I stepped back in disgust, feeling a surge of anger.

I had only met Li Fei's mother once before, and she was quite polite then, even preparing a table full of dishes.

But after the engagement, she seemed like a different person, occasionally speaking to me in a commanding tone.

Today, she seemed like a madwoman.

And when did I need her to meddle in how I spent my own money?

But considering her as an elder, I suppressed my anger and said, "Auntie, I bought these cherries with my own money."

I emphasized the word "own."

"What's yours is mine? You received a bride price of 19,000 from my son, from now on everything is my family's.

"Your money is our Li family's money!"

I widened my eyes, amused by her shameless words.

Is a bride price of 19,000 supposed to buy me off?

Then can the 600,000 my parents gave me as dowry plus a 5 million house buy off his Li family for generations?

"Auntie, I..."

My voice turned cold, preparing to speak again.

But Li Fei interrupted me.

Li Fei awkwardly smiled, "Mom, are you hungry? What would you like to eat tonight? Qingqing and I will cook for you."

Then he signaled me and forcibly led me to the kitchen.

"My mom is used to being frugal, sometimes she speaks like this.

"She's harsh with her words but kind at heart, all for our own good."

As Li Fei explained to me, he took out the supplements my mom bought for me the day before from the fridge.

Swiftly taking out all the bird's nest, sea cucumber, and abalone, he urged me, "Qingqing, go pick some vegetables, hurry up.

"My mom has low blood sugar and can't bear hunger."

I stood there coldly without moving, Li Fei frowned and was about to speak.

"Li Fei, how does your mom know what I've been eating these days? Bubble tea, durian, who told her?"
