By the time An Dongyang finished his fuss, Mrs. An had returned. Seeing that Xu Wenwan hadn't cooked, her expression instantly darkened.
"Xu Wenwan, you idle around at home every day and do absolutely nothing. Look at other people's daughters-in-law! Who acts like you? You're completely useless."
Being scolded, Xu Wenwan lowered her head, twisting her handkerchief. She harbored deep hatred in her heart. "Old hag, just you wait," she thought. "Once today is over, I'll make you kneel on the ground and apologize to me."
Mrs. An grew even angrier seeing her act so submissively. At her age, she had seen every trick in the book, and she simply looked down on Xu Wenwan. "Well? Aren't you going to cook?"
Left with no choice, Xu Wenwan could only head to the kitchen.
By the time the family finished dinner, the sky was completely dark. Xu Wenwan was anxious but had no other options, so she pretended to feel unwell and said she needed to go out to get some medicine.
