"Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Whose woman can't embroider? Only her daughter-in-law can embroider well? If she wants to sell it, everyone can do it. You just wait and see, who knows what kind of shameful business she is doing!"
The more Mrs. Yang talked, the more excited she became. "Otherwise, who would the daughter-in-law be showing off to if she dressed up so gorgeously? What good girl would marry into a family like that?"
Aunt Chunhua just came out and heard Mrs. Yang spitting foul language. The two sisters are very close to each other, and she loves her niece very much, so how could she allow others to spit at her like that?
"Widow Yang, who the hell are you talking about? Who isn't a girl from a good family?" Aunt Chunhua shouted angrily.
"Why can't a girl from a good family marry into the Xia family? The mother-in-law there is like that. You asked your pregnant daughter-in-law to fetch water and do housework. You deserve that your son can't even get married. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Mrs. Yang was scolded, and Aunt Chunhua was usually quiet, but she was not a pushover, so she was really scared.
That day, Cheng Han's mother took a fancy to the Xia family. She was also present, but she didn't have the chance to say anything because others started talking about their children.
How could she not know that Aunt Chunhua and the Xia family would soon be relatives.
Aunt Chunhua rolled her eyes at her. She was not the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble. "You have several sons of that age at home, but you don't know how to be more polite. Think about why your son is the only one who is still single. If he had stopped gossiping and talking about other people's affairs, he wouldn't have done this."
After saying this, Aunt Chunhua shook her head, poured a basin of water, and closed the door.
The people who had gathered around also dispersed, after all, there was nothing to see anymore.
Mrs. Yang was a little annoyed. She had been scolded twice in such a short period of time. It would be strange if she was in a good mood.
"Humph, you don't know what's good for you. What good is Mrs. Xia? She's just after your sister's family property. You really think the Xia family is your treasure. How can Third Xia be as good as my son? You're blind and blind."
After Mrs. Yang finished cursing, she felt refreshed all over. She didn't care whether others heard it or not, or how they reacted. She felt that by cursing, she had not suffered any loss.
Just when she was about to go home to cook, those brats were waiting to eat the ready-made food, not caring whether she was old or not.
Suddenly, she saw a person coming up the path in the distance. When she got closer, she recognized that it was Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xia family who had remarried.
She stopped again, and as Zhang came closer, she realized that Zhang's face was covered with wounds, and one side of her face was swollen.
"Oh my God, this... isn't this... my niece's wife?" Mrs. Yang deliberately used the old name, smiling as if she was enjoying a good show, "What's going on?"
Zhang knew that Old Lady Xia and Mrs. Yang did not get along, but she was also resentful that Old Lady Xia did not help her.
"What's it to you?"
"Child, how come you don't know what is good and what is bad? Your mother-in-law doesn't love you, but don't I love you?" Mrs. Yang's eyes rolled around. She also knew that Zhang was not a good person. If she instigated a quarrel, she would be in for a good show.
"Oh, you don't know, after you left, your mother-in-law treated the second son's wife so well. The second son's mother and daughter are wearing new clothes. The material is slippery and it looks like they are not cheap. The second son's wife is even dressed up. I feel sorry for you. When you were at home, your mother-in-law didn't give you these."
Zhang frowned, and the wound was pulled, which was excruciatingly painful. "What the hell? Did the old lady buy clothes for the second wife?"
"Isn't it? I'm not making this up. A lot of people were watching just now. Now, your mother-in-law is so nice to the second son's wife that people who don't know would think they are real mother and daughter. Well, your mother-in-law is a good person. Seeing you like this, she must feel sorry for you. Go somewhere quickly. Your mother-in-law took them to the west end."
Zhang took a deep breath, her eyes turned red, and seeing this, Mrs. Yang slipped away.
She knew her words must have worked.
Zhang felt like a wild beast was roaring in her heart. The Xia family was so poor, where did the old woman get the money to buy clothes for the second wife and her husband? She had to sell her for the money.
She was living in dire straits, neither human nor ghost, being beaten and scolded every day, and had to serve different men. Yet she actually spent the money from selling herself on others.
Zhang gritted her teeth, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away, and walked in the direction Yang Po said with only one goal in mind.
A group of people were standing under the wall at the west end of the village. Old Mrs. Xia was telling everyone about Xia Jinyu's marriage. Everyone was happy for Old Mrs. Xia. Naturally, some people also enviously praised Xia Chenshi for her beauty, saying that she looked like a different person.
It was at this time that Zhang appeared, like a ghost, with eyes that were terrifyingly cold.
She stared straight at Xia Chen, who was shyly lowering her head not far away. She was also shocked. If she hadn't met Yang Po in advance and told her, she really couldn't believe that the beautiful woman standing not far away was actually Xia Chen.
At this moment, the happier they laughed, the more annoyed she was.
【Why is she here? 】
Xia Zhiliao spotted Zhang with his sharp eyes, and at the same time reminded his grandmother, who was smiling from ear to ear, to look back.
When Old Lady Xia saw Zhang, her smile froze. She knew that the visitor had no good intentions, and seeing that Zhang was covered in injuries, she was not moved.
I've said it before, once she leaves the Xia family, she will have nothing to do with the old Xia family. Whether she lives or dies is her own choice, and she has to bear the consequences herself.
Old Mrs. Xia suppressed her smile and looked at Zhang calmly.
Zhang clenched her fists, but she didn't intend to tear her face off like this. Instead, she strode over, knelt on the ground with a plop, and hugged Mrs. Xia's thighs, "Mom, save me!"
The corners of Old Mrs. Xia's mouth twitched twice. This woman is sincere, right?
"What happened? Why are you so wounded?"
"Look at this poor thing."
“Ouch!”
Zhang knew that Old Lady Xia was very concerned about her reputation. When she left before, she played the role of a good mother-in-law. It would be wrong for her to ignore her now.
As long as she leaves there, she will settle the score with the Xia family.
"Mom, you can't just ignore me!"
Old Madam Xia said in a cold voice: "You are no longer a member of our Xia family. I can't intervene even if I want to. This is someone else's family's business. I... can't interfere!"
"Mom! Didn't you say that I belong to you no matter what? And didn't I give you the betrothal gift? How can you just ignore it?"
As she spoke, Zhang cast her eyes on Xia Chenshi and Xia Zhiliao, "As for the betrothal gifts... I treat them as my own brothers and sisters, so I won't mention them. But mother, please love me too!"
Old Madam Xia gritted her teeth. Was she going to force her to tell the ugly things that this bitch had done?
Xia Zhiliao also guessed Zhang's purpose. She wanted to force grandma, but it was not that easy. Had she asked her?
