"You...you...you've gone too far!" The old woman was furious. She caught a glimpse of the chicken carcass out of the corner of her eye and asked, "Where are my five old hens?"
"I saw Aunt Big Mouth's family take it that day," Li Rouniang said with a smile.
Actually, she ate one of them. Of the remaining four, two were indeed taken by Zhao Dazui. The other two were given to Zhao Youtian's wife this morning as a thank you for introducing her to the Mo family.
"You saw it, why didn't you stop it then?" Granny Zhao gritted her teeth.
This Zhao Dazui is simply too greedy. Not only did he trick his own daughter into marrying him, but he also stole his own chickens. It's outrageous!
“That’s my sister’s wedding. Mother doesn’t want me to make a scene, does she?” Li Rou Niang retorted.
Granny Zhao was speechless, then became unreasonable: "I don't care, you're the one who lost the things. This chicken, my silk, and the two taels of silver I lost are all on your tab. You have to compensate me for everything, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Mother, what are you saying? I really haven't seen that money of yours. I don't know if it was given to my sister as part of her dowry when she got married, and you're making me pay for it instead. There's never been a rule that a sister-in-law should pay for her sister-in-law's dowry while her parents are still alive," Li Rou Niang retorted.
Old Lady Zhao thought to herself that perhaps her daughter really did take it, after all, she had searched Li Rouniang's room all day and hadn't found it.
But this can't be blamed on my daughter; it can only be blamed on her.
“Don’t talk nonsense here. Da Hua isn’t that kind of person,” Granny Zhao retorted.
"Then let Mother say what she wants. Anyway, I'm tired after a long day and need to go back to my room to rest." Li Rouniang said, turning to go back to her room.
When Zhao Pozi saw this, she became even angrier, picked up a broom and started hitting her, cursing as she did so: "I'll beat you to death, you disrespectful little whore."
How could Li Rou Niang tolerate Zhao Pozi! She didn't fight back before, not because she couldn't beat this old woman!
Li Rouniang snatched the broom from Zhao Pozi with her bare hands, then threw it on the ground in front of Zhao Pozi, and walked towards her with a sinister look.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to hit me? Help! Everyone come quick! The daughter-in-law is going to hit her mother-in-law! This is extremely unfilial! May she be struck by lightning!" Granny Zhao started making a scene.
"Does Mother want to be locked in the woodshed again?" Li Rouniang threatened.
One sentence left Granny Zhao speechless.
Liu Niang stopped looking at her and turned back into the house, leaving Zhao Pozi alone in the courtyard, bewildered.
