Shishi stood up, patted her trouser legs, and had three big words imprinted on her forehead: What a spoilsport.
"Everyone, let's all disperse. Judging from the situation, there's no way we can fight or talk. There's no show to watch."
"Go back. We are all outsiders who cannot speak. You want public opinion but also want to silence us. You can't even offer us a cup of tea, let alone snacks."
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to play Eagle Catches Chickens with my friends."
One cheek is disliked, the other is rejected.
"Those brainless people are so shameless, how dare they kick out the second wife? The real disgrace to the Su family is the first wife and the spilled water."
"The most shameless one is that silent, pretentious old lady. She thinks she's so important. She has a monkey-like face and a pretty face, but she's really thinking too highly of herself. She takes the spoils when the younger generation makes a move, and she's not afraid of getting burned."
“Yeah, yeah, we kids don’t play games like this anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to be honest instead of having to be a conspiracy?” Nannan bluntly hurt her feelings.
Their scheme was laid bare, leaving the eldest son and his wife looking embarrassed, and Bai Lijuan also feeling ashamed.
But Su Laosan, who had already thrown away the water, exploded, "Who are you calling brainless?"
They chose a day when everyone was on rest to cause trouble, hoping to strike decisively, but unexpectedly, a cunning person appeared who knew the whole plan perfectly.
"Whoever answers, whoever is right, are you?"
"You..." Su Laosan was unsure whether to respond or not, his breath stuck in his throat.
The second wife and her husband came out in disbelief.
"Mom, is that what you mean too?" Su Lao Er asked, his face contorted with pain.
"Aren't we filial enough? If you want to kick us out, just say so. Do you have to joke around with our child's life?"
Oh my, it's finally started! Now we can continue watching.
It's so slow, when will the main event finally begin?
After adding more firewood, Shishi sat down again, moving her small stool to the side by the door so she could see everyone at a glance.
With her little schemes laid bare, Old Mrs. Su finally dropped all pretense.
"Yes, I want to kick your second wife out."
"You're not a member of the Su family, so why should you stay here? You eat and use the Su family's food, so isn't it your duty to be filial? Besides, I have children; do I need your filial piety?"
This is truly shameless. Everyone sighed, lamenting how far the mother and son had come to this. It's truly tragic.
Blood ties are indeed important, but if Su Lao Er is rebellious, selfish, and doesn't value the Su family, then that's a different story.
The thing is, they're very filial. They treat Old Su and his wife like their own parents. I heard that Su's eldest son gave up his job because of his second son; otherwise, Su wouldn't have the prestige he has now.
"That Su Laosan is no human being either; he always likes to steal his niece's things."
"What? There's such a thing? Tell me in detail."
Shishi perked up and moved closer to the old lady with the biggest mouth, ignoring the host's side.
"Mom, speak louder, Xiao Liu sounds good too."
"We all need to listen."
Several small ones on the tree expressed important opinions.
"Oh, okay, ma'am, please tell me about it!" she shouted loudly.
Everyone: ...
The old woman paused for a moment, then, as if she had found her people, began to talk at length, both of their eyes shining with the same light.
Su Laosan was the youngest daughter, about the same age as Su Xiu, and was raised by the second son's wife.
From childhood to adulthood, she always wanted to possess anything that belonged to Su Xiu.
She was able to marry her current husband because she stole Su Xiu's fiancé.
"There's even a scene where they steal a man?"
"Yes, an aunt stealing her niece's man, don't you think that's despicable?"
"He is truly lacking in virtue; in ancient times, such a person would have been drowned in a pig cage."
The two of them talked back and forth, getting louder and louder, and they exposed everything about the Su family.
"This whole family let the second wife bully her. In the end, Su Laosan even introduced a domestic abuser to Su Xiu, under the guise of returning her to her boyfriend."
"The abusive man and her husband are colleagues, so they know each other's temperaments best. Who knows if it was premeditated?"
How can someone be so evil?
"Yes, yes, I also want to ask why people are so bad, but who should I ask? Sigh, Su Xiu is so pitiful."
An older woman nearby joined in, turning the two onlookers into a trio.
"Her child, oh, the little girl who injured her head, is only 4 years old, and she has been beaten countless times. Her father beats her, her grandmother scolds her, and her grandfather doesn't care."
"Su Xiu divorced for the sake of her child. When she went back to her parents' home, her parents and brother didn't say anything. On the contrary, they supported her leaving the violent man. Guess what Su Lao San said?"
"What do you mean? Tell me quickly." Shishi's gossip spirit was burning, eager to know just how bad a person could be.
The newly arrived older woman didn't keep her in suspense.
She said: "There are so many couples in the world, why don't I see other husbands beating their wives, but you are the one who got beaten? You need to think about your own problems."
"Your husband is a bit violent, but it's definitely because you deserve to be hit."
"Listen to this, is this something an aunt should say? Who is born destined to be beaten?"
"Yeah, I even have a slightly mischievous hope that her husband will hit her too..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Su Xiu got beaten because she was useless, what does it have to do with me? Why should I get beaten? Su Xiu, are you crazy?"
Su Laosan was halfway through his roar when Su Xiu came out wielding a kitchen knife.
"Bai Lijuan, you let your child hurt my daughter, I'll take your life."
Bai Lijuan was listening intently to Su Laosan's gossip when she suddenly felt a chill and was startled by the scream, shrinking behind her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law tried to run away, but she held her back and took the blow for herself.
Her mother-in-law had no choice but to pull her along, and then it became a chase, with one person chasing and the two running, and finally the scene came to life.
