Xia Ruzheng said, "Is that so? There's nothing I can do. They are your sister-in-law after all. If you don't take care of them and teach them a little, who will help them?"
Chen Mei looked helpless and said, "That's true! We're all family, so of course I have to look after them."
Xia Ruzheng found it very funny to listen to these high-sounding words. To help his younger brothers and sisters, he just wanted to get them to compete with him?
In fact, if Chen Mei had really challenged him, Xia Ruzheng would have looked up to her. However, she dragged her younger brother and sister into this. If she made money, Chen Mei could consider herself a benefactor. "See, I showed you this path, you should be grateful." By then, she'd probably be tempted to take advantage of others. Since she didn't seem to be making much money, Chen Mei could deny it completely. After all, it wasn't her who lost money.
This kind of person is really annoying.
"If you really want my help, I'm sorry, I really can't help you. If it's really that beneficial, I have sisters and brothers back home. It's better to teach my own people than to teach an outsider. Don't you think so? So don't come to me for things like this in the future."
With the previous foreshadowing, this statement is indeed difficult to refute. Chen Mei, you help your own brothers and sisters, and Xia Ruzheng also wants it? Why should such a good way to make money be given to you?
Chen Mei was angry, but she was blocked. She said unhappily, "It turns out that I have asked for trouble today."
Xia Ruzheng said calmly, "If that's how you see it, I can't help it. After all, I lived with you before, and we have some friendship. It's okay for us to visit."
Chen Mei snorted, picked up the child and stood up to leave.
Xia Ruzheng was puzzled. Wasn't she waiting for the young wife?
Xia Ruzheng followed her out. No matter what, he had to see her off to the door as a sign of hospitality.
As soon as he walked out, Xia Ruzheng noticed a figure sneaking around in the kitchen and immediately shouted, "What are you doing!"
Xia Ruzheng is usually gentle, but at this moment he shouted loudly, which scared the person. Xia Ruzheng had already seen clearly that the other person was Chen Mei's sister-in-law.
The young wife came over timidly and said guiltily, "No... I didn't do anything..."
Xia Ruzheng snorted, don't treat her as a fool. At the beginning, Xia Ruzheng thought they were here to visit and get some information. After all, they were not smart enough to do that. He didn't expect that this young wife was so bold. She ran to the kitchen and peeked in under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Regardless of whether it was Chen Mei who instigated it, Xia Ruzheng was ready to put the blame on Chen Mei.
Chen Mei also felt ashamed. It would have been bad enough if she had done something bad, but she was caught in the act, making herself embarrassed as well.
"You damn girl, I finally brought you out here, why are you running around? This isn't your home, it's someone else's!"
It’s like when a child does something wrong in someone else’s home, the parents will deliberately punish their child on the spot. Those who care more about face will say, forget it, the child is ignorant, just don’t do this in the future, and then they can save face and get away with it easily. But how can Xia Ruzheng be so easily fooled?
"Sister Mei, I saw that you brought this person here, and she was shy, so I trusted her and let her go to the toilet by herself. I really didn't expect..." Xia Ruzheng didn't say the rest of the words, which made it even more embarrassing. Maybe what they imagined was even more unpleasant than Xia Ruzheng imagined!
Chen Mei felt even more ashamed and furious. She slapped her young wife several times, on the back of course, and scolded her, "I brought you out to visit me out of kindness, and you embarrassed me like this! %&..."
This was followed by a string of Cantonese curses, which Xia Ruzheng didn't understand.
Xia Ruzheng felt that this would really allow her to get away with it, so he said, "Okay, don't do this."
Chen Mei stopped immediately, thinking that Xia Ruzheng was going to forgive both of them.
Xia Ruzheng said, "Sister Mei, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you, but I still want to ask her what she saw. What if she saw my good things? Wouldn't that mean she's trying to steal my business? I must get to the bottom of this matter today."
Chen Mei suddenly became anxious and stopped acting. She said, "She's a fool and hasn't seen the world. She wants to see and touch everything new she sees, so it's not surprising. For my sake, please don't pursue the matter! I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back!"
Chen Mei really thought her sister-in-law was her own child! Xia Ruzheng had no intention of letting them go home to educate her.
"That won't work either. What if I see something I shouldn't see? Will you compensate me for the loss?"
Chen Mei hadn't expected Xia Ruzheng to be so difficult to deal with, even talking about compensation. She became even more anxious and was about to pull Xia Ruzheng to say something when Grandma Liu came back. Seeing Xia Ruzheng arguing with someone, she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Chen Mei knew Grandma Liu, of course, but she didn't interact with her much, so they didn't have much interaction. Grandma Liu was aloof, and people who didn't know her would think she was difficult to talk to, so at this time, only Xia Ruzheng could speak to her freely.
"Oh, nothing. Sister Mei brought her sister-in-law to visit me, and I saw her sister-in-law sneaking around in my kitchen. You know I've been working on some new things lately, so I was worried about being seen. I wanted to ask Sister Mei what was going on and whether she had seen anything, but Sister Mei refused."
It sounds like a very objective description, but people like Grandma Liu can hear something wrong.
