Chapter 121 Head-on Confrontation

Yao Shula's eyes narrowed immediately.

She delivered herself to our doorstep; she didn't cause trouble!

Yao Shula is least afraid of verbal sparring, especially with someone who is clearly looking for trouble!

Since she's come here asking for a scolding, then don't blame her for being impolite.

Yao Shula patted Xiao Tiantian's bottom, who was still nestled in her arms, and then handed Xiao Tiantian to Secretary Lei.

"Hold me!"

After saying those two words, Yao Shula rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.

Secretary Lei was startled and quickly picked up Xiao Tiantian.

Little Tiantian was also a little unaccustomed to Secretary Lei's embrace, sobbing as she turned her head to look at Yao Shula.

Seeing Yao Shula like this, Tian Lei's mother pulled her two grandsons behind her.

"Oh, what's wrong? You want to fight me?"

I told you, who do you think you are? You're just a babysitter.

"Isn't it you who did all the stirring up trouble?" Tian Lei's mother shouted at the top of her lungs.

Tian Lei sat motionless on the sofa without saying a word.

Secretary Lei's expression changed slightly.

Yao Shula wasn't angry at all.

"That's right, who can compare to you, Auntie? You're definitely something, but I don't know how to categorize what you are."

Should we treat it like a precious treasure, or should we just tidy it up and throw it away as trash?

Auntie, please don't go out later.

"If we're a little later, the garbage collectors will come, and they might accidentally take you away with them," Yao Shula said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Tian Lei's mother realized that she was being called trash...

"You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you have a death wish?" Tian Lei's mother immediately rolled up her sleeves and glared at Yao Shula menacingly.

Secretary Lei's face darkened.

Yao Shula remained calm, only feigning surprise.

"Do you want to kill someone? Do you still think this is the old society? Is this the kind of quality the secretary's mother-in-law has?"

Auntie, you're so aggressive in front of the Party Secretary, how do you bully ordinary people when he's not around?

"Do you often bully men and women, and oppress the villagers?" Yao Shula asked.

Secretary Lei's face was already very grim.

"Mom, watch your words. This isn't a market, and there are so many children here!" Secretary Lei said coldly.

Seeing that Secretary Lei's expression was not good, Tian Lei's mother quickly tried to cover it up.

"No, I just said it in the heat of the moment. I don't usually..."

"Mom, watch your mouth! Be mindful of your status!" Tian Lei's face also darkened.

Before Tian Lei's mother could speak, Yao Shula interrupted.

"That's right, I'm a babysitter, but I didn't take your money to babysitter!"

I'm using the money that Tian Tian's brother and grandfather gave me to take care of the child. What does it have to do with you?

What? Are you jealous that they give me so much money to help take care of their kids? You want to earn that money too, don't you? Too bad, they don't think much of you and don't trust you!

"Someone like you, if you were to look after Tiantian, she'd probably starve to death!"

"You... how can you talk to your elders like that? You were born of a mother but have no father to raise you, aren't you? What do your family members do?" Tian Lei's mother was so angry that her eyes turned red.

“My dad’s name is Yao Guohua. He works at a machinery factory. Go find him!” Yao Shula immediately pushed Yao Guohua forward.

Go find him and settle the score! You couldn't be happier!

“You…” Tian Lei’s mother did not expect Yao Shula to be so calm.

Seeing that Secretary Lei's face was getting worse, Tian Lei's mother realized that she had overreacted a bit, so she quickly softened her tone.

"It's just kids playing around, they might fight or argue, it's not a big deal."

Do you really have to make such a big deal out of this and even apologize?

Just coax her. If you want an apology, I'll apologize. I shouldn't have brought the child here. I shouldn't have come to take care of my daughter!

"Come on, let me apologize to Tiantian. Should I kowtow to Tiantian?" Tian Lei's mother asked.

"No, Auntie, do you really hate Tiantian that much?"

An elderly person kowtowing to a child is believed to shorten the child's lifespan. Are you really that eager for things to go well every day?

Also, what does it mean for children to play roughly together?

Do people steal or rob others while playing around?

At Tian Tian's house, two outside children stole Tian Tian's belongings, then beat her up and robbed her of her things.

What kind of behavior is this? Isn't this just the act of theft and robbery?

"You can tell what a person will be like when they're young, so Auntie isn't worried at all!" Yao Shula said bluntly.

"Are you talking nonsense? How are these thieves and robbers? These are our own things..." Tian Lei's mother wanted to argue.

"Taking something without asking is stealing!"

Taking something without permission is robbery.

The items belong to Tiantian. Did they ask Tiantian for permission? Did they get Tiantian's permission?

No way! What is this if not theft and robbery?

Returning your own things? Auntie, what's your surname? What's your grandson's surname? How did this become your family's property?

Breaking into someone else's house, stealing their child's belongings, and hitting their child—what else is that but robbery?

An apology is the least of your worries; a bigger one could land you in jail! Yao Shula continued to retort.

“This…this is my daughter’s house, so it’s our house. Why can’t we come?” Tian Lei’s mother said anxiously.

"Your home? Then this is still Tian Tian's home!"

Should I remind you? You come to this house earlier than everyone else every day.

What are you thinking when you bully him like this?

It's just that Tian Tian's mother is gone, and Secretary Lei is too busy to take care of Tian Tian.

You guys are just thinking of bullying Tiantian. Anyway, he's young, and if he gets bullied, he'll just tell on you.

Secretary Lei is often not at home, so there's nowhere to complain to every day. If this goes on for a while, he'll be able to kick Tian Tian out, right?

Auntie, you're really heartless! You've spoiled your grandson, turning him into a thief and robber, and now you're even kicking Tiantian out.

What exactly are you up to?!

Yao Shula's words caused the expressions of the adults in the room to change.

Secretary Lei glanced at Tian Lei, then at Tian Lei's mother, his expression unreadable to both of them.

Tian Lei quickly stood up.

"Old Lei, don't listen to her nonsense, my mom just didn't mean it..."

"Also, Auntie, you said at the beginning that I was sowing discord. How did I sow discord? Did I say anything to you?"

You can't just spout nonsense without seeing anything!

"You need evidence to support your claims. You're the secretary's mother-in-law, you can't slander someone like that!" Yao Shula interrupted.

Why didn't you stir up trouble in the inner room?

You used the opportunity of seeing the child to sow discord between the child and the family, and even coaxed the child to take things outside!

"Didn't you do all of this?" Tian Lei's mother said immediately.

Yao Shula smiled, finally managing to get those words out of her!

"Auntie, this is your first time visiting Secretary Lei's house. How did you know all this?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.

Tian Lei's mother...

Tian Lei's expression changed drastically.

Secretary Lei understood.

These words must have been said by Tian Lei to her mother; otherwise, how could an outsider know about these family matters?

"Auntie, first of all, I want to tell you that the things Tian Tian takes are specially brought to him by his grandfather."

How he handles it is his own business; no matter how much others envy him, it's useless.

Secondly, I was entrusted by someone to look after Tiantian, and I have to protect him whenever he is bullied.

Therefore, your unreasonable and sophistry will not work on me.

I see you like one of those old ladies on the street corner who always gossip about other people's business. You're nothing!

Third, you should take care of your own grandson's theft and robbery, instead of trying to meddle in everything.

"You live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"

After speaking, Yao Shula looked at the two younger ones behind her.

"Come out and apologize! If you don't apologize, I'm going to the police station right now to report you for both theft and robbery!"

Startled, the two children immediately poked their heads out.

"sorry!"

Yao Shula snorted, took Xiao Tiantian from Secretary Lei's arms, and began preparing Xiao Tiantian's room.

"Secretary Lei, shouldn't you call Grandpa in Shanghai and ask what medicine Tiantian took when she cried herself to death before?"

I don't know the number, so I can't make this call!

Secretary Lei understood what Yao Shula meant.

This call is absolutely necessary!
