Looking at the overconfident and obstinate Qin Wan, Mrs. Cui felt a headache coming on. She didn't want to listen any further, so she asked, "Before your father and Mr. Lin came, what did you say happened to your mother-in-law?"
Qin Wan immediately halted her endless description of Lin Ziqi's promising future, her shoulders slumped abruptly, and she said dejectedly, "That day, we had our meal here and didn't go back home to eat. My mother-in-law cried all night, saying no one cared whether she ate or not, and that she might as well starve to death."
Mrs. Cui: "..."
She restrained herself and asked, "What did Mr. Lin say?"
"He... he got drunk, went out to blow off some steam, vomited everywhere, and then went to sleep late. The next day, his mother cried again, throwing a tantrum, saying no one cared whether she lived or died, and she might as well stop eating altogether."
