Chapter 79 Guan Xue's Personal Testimony

Jiang Si nodded, and the two went downstairs together.

When the people from the second and fourth wives saw Jiang Si's photo, they were already amazed by her beauty.

I never expected that she would look even more beautiful in person than in photos.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

In the end, it was Grandma Huo's introduction that interrupted everyone's attention.

"Sisi, these are your second brother and sister-in-law, and these two boys are from their family."

"The eldest is named Jing Qian, and he is eight years old this year. The youngest is named Jing Yu, and he is six years old this year."

"This is your fourth brother and his wife."

Upon hearing this, Jing Qian and Jing Yu immediately stood up straight and greeted him respectfully.

"Hello, Third Aunt."

Jiang Si greeted everyone with a smile, and once they had become more familiar with each other, she took out the gifts she had prepared.

Although this was their first meeting, Jiang Si had heard Huo Tingzhou mention the different branches of the Huo family before.

She prepared a Shanghai-brand briefcase for Huo's second brother and a Double Happiness ping-pong paddle for his sister-in-law.

The couple, one working in procurement and the other at the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, are also excellent at playing table tennis.

This is the perfect gift.

The fourth brother and his wife both work in scientific research, so Jiang Si chose a pair of Hero brand fountain pens.

As for her second brother's two children, Jiang Si spent a long time looking for a suitable gift but couldn't find one. In the end, she simply gave them two red envelopes, each containing 6.66 yuan.

The worst thing about giving gifts is when people keep refusing to accept them. Fortunately, the second and fourth wives weren't the type to be coy, and they accepted the gifts readily.

Yang Meina picked up the ping-pong paddle and immediately tried it out a few times. "Sister-in-law, the paddle you chose feels really good!"

"Honey, take a look at my briefcase!" Brother Huo asked her with a smile.

"Quite capable!"

The couple from the fourth house also held the fountain pen, looking at it with great affection.

It must be said that Jiang Si's gifts were truly to their liking.

Just as everyone was expressing their gratitude...

An untimely voice suddenly rang out.

"Mom, Third Aunt prepared gifts for Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and also prepared red envelopes for my two younger brothers."

Why didn't she give it to me and my brothers?

The one speaking was Huo Jingxuan, the eldest son of the main branch of the family. He was already over ten years old, and at that age, children actually knew everything.

Su Shanshan sneered in response, "Yes, I also want to know what my third sister-in-law means by doing this?"

“We haven’t separated the family yet. We are still your elder brother and sister-in-law. It’s one thing for you to come in without saying hello.”

"You only sent gifts to the second and fourth wives? What, are you looking down on our first wife's family?"

"yes."

Jiang Si nodded honestly, and then asked her a question in return.

"Is there anything about you that I should respect?"

What do you mean by that?

Su Shanshan was furious and started calling for help: "Grandpa and Grandma, did you hear that? The third son's wife stepped on our eldest son's face as soon as she walked in the door. Aren't you going to do anything about this?"

"Why are you dragging Grandpa and Grandma into our business? How can you two have the nerve to do this and be afraid of what others will say?"

"What...what did I do?"

"Didn't do anything?"

"Then let me ask you, when you two got married, didn't our family give you a hundred yuan as a gift, and also give you a wool blanket separately!"

"That's right, it is. The gift register is still here," the old man said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the Huo family knows about this, and the eldest branch of the family can't deny it.

Jiang Si nodded and continued, "But when the couple returned the gift, they only gave back a hundred yuan. I've never seen anyone return a gift with such a small amount before."

"Did you two eat that wool blanket?"

Jiang Si's tone and expression made her words far more infuriating than slapping someone twice.

Huo Tingtao's face instantly darkened, and he slapped Su Shanshan across the face.

"Didn't I tell you to give the money for the blanket to Mom? You didn't?"

"..."

After the slap, Su Shanshan was stunned. When did he say that?

But faced with her husband's unpredictable face, she dared not ask anything and could only make up an excuse.

"I got so busy that I forgot about it."

"Forgot?"

Jiang Si chuckled, "You say you've forgotten what happened half a month ago, but what about the day before yesterday?"

“I heard that you two were there the day the furniture was moved.”

"I just want to ask, did you help us move furniture that day, or did you help us tidy up the house?"

"Even something as simple as helping me move a chair would be helpful, is that possible or not?"

help?

How could I possibly help?

They were quite upset about this for a long time, feeling that their grandparents had started to favor the third branch of the family.

The couple had nothing to say to each other, but Jiang Si had plenty to say.

"I did send gifts to the second and fourth wives, but those were things that Tingzhou and I sincerely wanted to thank them for."

"If Mom hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the furniture we bought a few days ago was all moved by my second brother and fourth brother, and that my second sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife helped tidy up the room."

"You two didn't help at all, how dare you ask me for this gift?"

After saying that, she added a disdainful reminder.

"I hate it when people owe me things, so remember to get me that blanket back later!"

This matter could have ended there, but Su Shanshan insisted on being clever.

Perhaps feeling she had found the perfect opportunity to retaliate, she didn't even have time to discuss it with Huo Tingtao.

As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, Su Shanshan began to criticize her.

"Why aren't we helping? It's all because of you!"

“If you hadn’t insisted on causing trouble for my family, I wouldn’t have miscarried because of this.”

Huo Tingtao was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening, but he pretended to scold him.

"This matter is in the past, let's not bring it up again..."

"Why can't I mention it? I haven't fully recovered from my miscarriage yet!"

"The third brother and his wife didn't say a word of apology, and even blamed us for not helping them move."

"How can anyone bully people like this!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Lihua's face immediately fell.

"You mean, you miscarried because of the third son and his wife?"

"That's right, it's the third brother and his wife!"

Su Shanshan was now somewhat obsessed; perhaps she had told so many lies that she no longer even realized they were fake.

"I didn't want to talk about this, but those two are just too much of a bully."

Suddenly, she thought of what the Su family had found out.

“Grandpa and Grandma, you must not let the third son’s wife into the family. Someone like her is cursed at home, she will bring misfortune to her parents and her husband after marriage.”

"The Jiang family and our Su family are the best examples."

"If we let her into the Huo family, she'll cause chaos and unrest in the Huo family sooner or later!"

"Things are already unsettled, you must believe me..."

Before Su Shanshan could say anything more, Jiang Si slapped her across the face.

She already knew that the eldest son and his wife were scoundrels, but she never expected that they would be so despicable.

Before she could even speak, the fourth brother's wife, Guan Xue, had already stepped forward.

"Sister-in-law, your child was lost because you and your brother fooled around, how can you blame your third sister-in-law?"

The living room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Su Shanshan was both angry and anxious. She never expected that Guan Xue, who never interfered in family matters, would jump out at this time.

At this moment, she could only feign composure and say, "Fourth sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not making this up."

Guan Xue adjusted her glasses, her emotions remaining as stable as ever.

"On the day the child was lost, I had a high fever at home, and I heard your cries for help."

“When I came out, my older brother had already taken you to the hospital.”

"So what? I fell down, and it's normal for your older brother to take me to the hospital, isn't it?"

"If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have fallen in my room."

"Sister-in-law, even at this point, are you still going to smear others?"

Guan Xue shook her head helplessly.

If she hadn't happened to see the bloodstains on the floor that day, and hadn't pushed open their room door out of sheer worry.

Perhaps now, she too will be led by the nose by her sister-in-law's words.

"Whether the child fell or misbehaved, a check-up at the hospital will tell you."

"Sister-in-law, do you dare?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shanshan fell silent instantly, as if a chicken had been choked.

Huo Tingtao replied, "What's there to be afraid of? We'll go after we split up the family property."

"However, I hope that when the truth comes out, you can apologize to my husband and me!"

"Especially you, third sister-in-law!"

"That slap you gave me just now wasn't light!"

Hearing this, Su Shanshan felt much more at ease. Since Tingtao dared to say that, he must have taken care of things at the hospital.

But before he could feel at ease for more than three seconds, Huo's mother's voice came from outside the door.

"No need to wait for the family to split up, we can do the test now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Huo entered the living room with slightly somber expressions.

Accompanying them were Uncle Huo, the fourth son of the Huo family, dressed in a police uniform; a doctor in a white coat; two men with bruised and swollen faces; and a timid middle-aged woman.
