Chapter 32 Your Great-Auntie is Here

"Your family is bullying us too much."

Chen E rushed over, pushing through the crowd of onlookers, and stood in front of Lin Meili: "What's wrong? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a wealthy family."

Lin Meili, seeing that the person who came was Chen E, didn't take her seriously at all and mocked, "Chen E, when did you become so enthusiastic, actually knowing how to speak up for others? You usually talk to people everywhere."

The second daughter-in-law of the Cao family said from behind, "Isn't Chen E the matchmaker hired by the Ji family?"

Lin Meili listened and chuckled, "No wonder, you were the one who arranged this. Are you afraid I'll affect your matchmaker's gift? The Ji family is so poor, how much matchmaker's gift did they promise you? Tell me."

"Pah!"

"Do you think I'm like your Cao family, all despicable and heartless bastards? I just can't stand how you take advantage of your large family size and the fact that someone in your family works in the county town, bullying this family or that family every day."

"Now they're bullying the elderly and children, aren't they afraid of divine retribution?"

Chen E felt a sense of satisfaction after uttering so many words in one breath.

Standing at the back of the Cao family, Cao Tian, ​​dressed in a clean Zhongshan suit, coldly watched everything. When he heard Chen E cursing him as well, he frowned and said, "Hmph, country bumpkin."

Lin Meili, not to be outdone, retorted, "Who do you think you are? You dare to curse me here? May I be punished by heaven, and may you be killed by heaven."

Chen E remembered what Wang Yuqing had taught her, but unfortunately she had forgotten most of it. However, she remembered one sentence very well. She glared back fiercely and raised her voice even louder than Lin Meili: "You green tea bitch, saintly bitch, scheming bitch, lotus bitch."

Lin Meili: "..."

The new term caught her off guard for a moment.

However, she didn't rely on vulgar language like an old woman when she spoke to people; instead, she used psychological tactics.

She drawled out her words slowly and deliberately: "I'm not trying to be mean, but with that kind of voice, you should go home and argue with your daughter-in-law who pees on your head."

"But you can't win an argument with her, since your son always sides with his wife and doesn't take you seriously at all."

"If I were you, I'd be heartbroken. You're a widow who raised your son and daughter with great difficulty, and your daughter is disobedient and insists on marrying the cripple from the next brigade. Your son is a henpecked husband. Tell me, why did you come out and meddle in other people's business? Aren't you afraid that when you go back, your daughter-in-law will give you a good scolding?"

“Your son won’t help you. He’ll even massage your daughter-in-law’s shoulders and back. If I were you, I’d think life is meaningless. I’d just find a rope and hang myself. Even if I died, your son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t shed a tear. They might just roll you up in a bamboo mat and throw you into some mountain for wild wolves and dogs to eat.”

The reason Chen E could never win an argument with Lin Meili was that Lin Meili would hit her sore spots with her insults, making her feel extremely uncomfortable each time, and she would lose the energy to continue arguing with her.

Seeing that she had shut up and was now deflated, Lin Meili, having won easily, proudly raised her head like a miserly rooster and clucked: "Some people, if they can't finish their own problems, then don't come and argue with me. If you're unhappy, you have to keep it to yourself."

Some people couldn't stand it, but no one dared to say anything.

Lin Meili asked loudly again, "Where's Wang Sha'er? Wasn't he quite capable when he was teaching my Hao Hao a lesson? Where is he now?"

Yuan Fang really wanted to tell her that it was probably hidden at home, but the thought of Wang Yuqing's stone still haunted her.

Liu Li likes to join in the fun and gossip, but she doesn't dare to cause trouble, as she can't afford to offend either side.

Cao's second daughter-in-law pointed to the closed door of the Ji family's main room and said, "Look, the door is closed. They're probably hiding inside. They're scared, hehehe."

She deliberately called out, "Silly Er, what are you hiding for? Come out and see your aunt. I heard you came back with Ji Xuening. Why don't you go visit your aunt and have a meal with her?"

Lin Meili crossed her arms and snorted, "I don't have relatives like that. It's so embarrassing. Nobody in my cousin's family takes her seriously. She's like a pesky rat. This time she's really something, daring to teach my Hao Hao a lesson."

She yelled at the door of the main room, "Get out here right now! What kind of turtle are you? If you come out and apologize to Hao Hao, I'll let it go for your mother's sake."

Mao Chun leisurely found a place to sit, feeling that she didn't need to take action at all.

Inside the room.

Wang Yuqing tore a piece of wood from the dilapidated wooden bed and tried to push the outer latch out through the gap inside, but all attempts failed.

She was engulfed in flames, and the sharp, piercing curses outside kept piercing her ears. She bared her teeth and said, "You bunch of mad dogs from the Cao family!"

In particular, Grandma Ji timidly apologized and made amends, but Lin Meili didn't take her seriously at all, which made her so angry that she had an endocrine disorder.

Just as she steeled herself and was about to use her eighty-pound body to break down the door, she heard Ji Meimei wake up in the next room and cry timidly.

Wang Yuqing then remembered that Ji Meimei was sleeping in the next room. She quickly called out, "Meimei, don't cry, come out and open the door for me."

Ji Meimei couldn't hear clearly.

Wang Yuqing stood on the bed and shouted loudly towards the other side of the earthen partition wall, "Come out quickly and open the door. I'm going out to teach them a lesson."

Ji Meimei was still a little dizzy from just waking up. Now that she heard clearly, she stopped crying, wiped away her tears, thought about putting on her shoes, and ran over.

Outside.

Grandma Ji nearly fainted several times, but thankfully Ji Daming and Ji Xiaoming were there to support her. She groaned in discomfort, "Ouch, ouch..."

Even so, she whispered, "You can't come out."

Then, she forced herself to say, "Eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family, this was Xiaoming's fault. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. Please don't hold my new daughter-in-law accountable. I'll bow to you and apologize. Is that alright?"

Chen E walked up to Grandma Ji and said, "Grandma Ji, you're so old and a senior member of the village. How can you apologize and bow to a younger person?"

Grandma Ji touched Chen E's hand: "I know you have a kind heart, but you shouldn't interfere in this matter."

After saying that, she continued to say to Lin Meili, "My Yuqing is a good girl, just a bit impulsive. Besides, it's not her fault. She was just trying to help Xiaoming. I, this old woman, apologize to you on her behalf. Lin Meili's eldest daughter-in-law, you are her aunt and an elder, so please don't hold it against her."

Lin Meili scoffed, "What good is my apology? Aunt Ji, I'm only refraining from making things difficult for you because of your seniority. Hurry up and call the people inside out."

She then began to manipulate her emotions: "Look at you, you're blind and using a cane, you're so old yet you have to stand in front and help her carry things, and what about her? She's hiding inside, not daring to utter a sound, you can tell she has a bad heart, it's a wonder that her two children still protect her like this."

Grandma Ji didn't care about her attempts to sow discord, and tears streamed down her face: "I'll apologize to you, okay? You can take the piglet."

Lin Meili shook her head: "That won't do. We were going to take the piglets anyway. The people inside have to come out and apologize to my Hao Hao in person."

After saying that, she said in a shrill voice, "Silly Er, what's wrong? Don't you have the guts to come out? Well, after all, you've always been a coward and a weakling. Everyone can step on your nose and shit on your head, and you don't dare to utter a sound."

"I'm out here, what are you barking about, you dog?"

The main door was suddenly kicked open, and Wang Yuqing made a grand entrance with great presence.
