Just, Zhang Shanni helplessly discovered that their arrival was truly... well, quite timely.
"Wah wah wah~~" "Wah wah wah~~" "Mom!"
Before the group had even pushed open the main courtyard door, they heard sharp, hoarse cries of a child piercing through the sky from inside.
"Damn it, it’s all because of you, this troublemaker, that Jiefang forgot his mother after getting a wife! You—"
"Bullshit, who are you cursing at?"
Zhou Xiuhua heard the scolding among the crying from outside the yard, immediately felt a surge of anger, handed the child she was holding to her husband, and forcefully pushed open the slightly ajar courtyard door, striding over to demand, "Good for nothing Li Xiaochun, how did my Da Niu wrong you, to have you cursing at her like this?!"
Startled by Zhou Xiuhua’s thunderous rebuke, not only was Li Xiaochun stupefied, but even the three little ones, who had been wailing nonstop because of their grandma’s unreasonable behaviour, halted their crying.
It was as if the scene had been frozen, everyone turned to look at the Xie Family group who had abruptly arrived.
"Mom?" Xie Jinghong, protecting his child, was startled to see his mother suddenly barge in. He paused and upon lifting his head and seeing his father and new sister-in-law behind his mother, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes reddened, and in a hoarse voice he called out, "Dad, Shanni..."
"In-laws?!" Li Xiaochun, who had been cursing at her daughter-in-law, still had the words stuck in her throat when she saw Zhou Xiuhua rushing in front of her, protecting her daughter-in-law. She swallowed and stuttered out the words.
"In-laws my foot, is this how you treat my Da Niu? Where’s Jiefang? Where has he rolled off to? You all promised before, to treat my Da Niu well, is this how the Fan Family treats her?!"
"Mom, Brother Jiefang has gone to work," Xie Jinghong replied with bitterness in his mouth, looking gloomily at his parents, his face twitching, a mute suffering he could not articulate.
His mother-in-law had just arrived yesterday evening, immediately pulling her husband aside to complain for a long time, even though her husband had already given her half of the only twenty yuan they had. She was still not satisfied. Making sure her husband had gone to work, she then dared to sneak into their room to steal their money!
When she returned and caught her, the mother-in-law scolded her first.
She, merely a daughter-in-law, how could she really argue back against her mother-in-law? If it really came to that, her husband could lose his job...
Reputation really mattered at this time. If someone complained at work, it would only take a minute to find oneself ousted without knowing why. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Good grief, Li Xiaochun, so you’re just bullying my Da Niu while Jiefang is not around, is that it? You don’t want to live in peace anymore, do you? How did my Da Niu ever wrong your Fan Family? Don’t think I don’t know what misdeeds you’ve been up to. I remember very well what my Da Niu brought with her when she married into your Fan Family!"
Zhou Xiuhua cursed Li Xiaochun, then pointed at her three sobbing grandchildren and angrily said, "Despite everything, Da Niu also gave birth to three fine grandchildren for your Fan Family. Even if you won’t respect her, respect the Buddha, for your actions, is this Jiefang’s instruction, or are you acting on your own? If you look down upon my Da Niu, we can just as well divorce!"
