Chapter 85
He didn't know what Yao Yi wanted to do by following him stealthily, so he pretended not to notice her and just watched what happened.
It wasn't until he entered the house and saw that Yao Yi still didn't move, so he told Lei's mother about it.
The two stood behind the window, watching what Yao Yi wanted to do, until Yao Yi turned and left.
Mother Lei sneered and said, "She's probably still waiting for you to go to the Yao family to pick her up. She probably saw that you didn't go to pick her up, so she followed you to see if you would go to pick her up."
As soon as Lei Mu finished speaking, Lei Ying came back.
"Brother, I just ran into my sister-in-law outside. As soon as she saw me, she quickly covered her face with her hands and ran away. I didn't even have time to call her. Did she come back and leave again?"
Mother Lei glanced at Lei Xiao and said meaningfully, "See, I was right, wasn't I? She just followed you to see if you would come to pick her up. Otherwise, she'd see Yingying, so why would she hide from her?"
"So sister-in-law came back and left again." Lei Ying sneered: "If she doesn't want to come back, then she shouldn't have come back. I didn't say anything to her last time. She really didn't cook the food well enough, and she got so angry. What does she think of us, the Lei family? We can't say a word to her. Her family conditions are not that good, but she still thinks she is a lady from ancient times, and our whole family has to revolve around her and coax her!"
The more Lei Ying spoke, the angrier she became, and the more she disliked her sister-in-law Yao Yi.
Lei's mother also said, "Yingying is right. Your daughter-in-law is really very hot-tempered. Since she wants to go back to her parents' home and thinks that her parents can support her, then she should stay there forever, and no one should go to pick her up. If you give in and take her back, her temper will be even worse in the future, and our family will have to revolve around her and serve her."
Lei Xiao had no intention of picking up Yao Yi. He, Lei's mother, and Lei Ying all agreed. The previous incident was a minor one, but Yao Yi had been acting out of control and making a big deal out of it.
What he wanted was a daughter-in-law who could manage the household, put him first and listen to him, not a daughter-in-law with a temper like Yao Yi.
When they were dating, Yao Yi had been quite obedient to him. But not long after they got married, her true colors showed. How could he possibly allow Yao Yi to bring her bad habits from home to their Lei family?
…
Yao Yi didn't expect to run into Lei Ying, who happened to be returning, when she was leaving. She quickly covered her face with her hands and ran away, not knowing if Lei Ying had noticed her. If Lei Ying had found out, wouldn't Lei Xiao also know? That would be too embarrassing for her.
However, Yao Yi changed her mind and thought that if Lei Xiao knew about this, he might remember to go to Yao's house to pick her up. What happened to Lei Ying might not be a bad thing.
After realizing this, Yao Yi became excited again.
She returned to the Yao family in a good mood, ate the lunch made by Aunt Xie in a good mood, and sat at the door waiting for Lei Xiao to pick her up.
She waited and waited but Lei Xiao didn't show up. Instead, she noticed Zhong Lan washing clothes nearby.
She saw Zhong Lan scrubbing her extremely expensive coat, which she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, vigorously on the washboard. She jumped up and rushed over to grab the clothes: "Do you know how much this coat cost? You are scrubbing it so hard, are you deliberately trying to ruin my clothes?"
Zhong Lan shook her arms that were sore from rubbing. "Don't you see how dirty your clothes are? How can they be cleaned if you don't wash them like this? It's just right, you can wash them yourself."
Yao Yi had already been very dissatisfied with Zhong Lan because she had been frustrated every time in the past few days. She had long been filled with resentment towards Zhong Lan. Now seeing Zhong Lan's attitude and hearing Zhong Lan's tone, Yao Yi's resentment was provoked and her face was full of anger.
"Why should I wash the clothes? It's your turn to wash the clothes today, so wash them thoroughly for me!" Yao Yi threw the clothes into the basin.
Zhong Lan simply threw the clothes back to her: "Wash them yourself!"
"Wash them for me!" Yao Yi screamed and threw the clothes directly on Zhong Lan.
"If you don't even want to wash your own clothes, you might as well throw them away." Zhong Lan threw Yao Yi's coat directly on the ground.
Yao Yi was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot. She screamed in a shrill voice, "Zhong Lan, do you want to die?" and then rushed over to hit Zhong Lan.
Zhong Lan and she started fighting, with each of them grabbing her hair and scratching her face. The scene was very intense.
The neighbors heard the noise and came out to watch. Aunt Xie, Yao Hong, and Yao's father also came out.
"What are you doing! Zhong Lan, let your sister-in-law go!" Aunt Xie shouted, and came over seemingly to separate the two, but in fact she was secretly helping Yao Yi beat Zhong Lan.
Zhong Lan was so excited that she kicked Aunt Xie several times.
Yao Hong and Yao's father quickly grabbed Zhong Lan, Yao Yi and Aunt Xie respectively, and separated the two parties.
"What are you doing?" Yao's father scolded, "Why don't you just talk it out nicely? Why do you have to resort to violence?"
Zhong Lan and Yao Yi's hair was messy, their clothes were askew, and their faces were bruised to varying degrees. Yao Yi's face looked more seriously bruised, with several nail scratches.
Yao Yi shed tears of grievance and complained, "Zhong Lan didn't wash my clothes and even threw them on the ground!"
Zhong Lan said, "Of course I didn't wash your clothes! You were disgusted that I was going to ruin your clothes, so I told you to wash them yourself. You refused and even threw them at me, so I threw them on the ground for you!"
"Then you can't just throw her clothes on the ground!" Aunt Xie panted.
The places on her legs where Zhong Lan had kicked her just now were still hurting. This bitch, how cruel she was!
"Can she just throw clothes at me, her sister-in-law? If she thinks I don't wash them well enough, just wash them yourself! She's not without hands or feet!" Zhong Lan yelled back.
Yao Yi was about to yell when her father said gloomily, "Alright, stop arguing. Aren't you tired of being laughed at? Yiyi, wash your clothes yourself."
Yao Yi was furious that even her father was on the side of the bitch Zhong Lan.
Aunt Xie was also annoyed and yelled, "Why should Yiyi wash the clothes by herself? It's clearly Zhonglan's turn to wash the clothes today!"
"She complains that Zhong Lan doesn't wash well, so she washes it herself. If she doesn't want to wash it, you wash it for her!" After saying this, Father Yao glared at Aunt Xie, didn't want to care about this matter anymore, and went back to the house.
Yao Hong felt a little distressed when he saw the injuries on Zhong Lan's face, and said, "Let's go back to the house and rest for a while."
Zhong Lan said, "It's okay. This little injury won't stop me from washing clothes. I'll rest after I finish washing."
After saying that, she sat down on the small stool and continued to wash the clothes.
Yao Hong was afraid that Yao Yi would go crazy with Zhong Lan again after he left, so he stood by and accompanied Zhong Lan until Aunt Xie brought Yao Yi into the house and said she wanted to treat the wound on her face. Only then did Yao Hong feel relieved and went back to the house.
