Chapter 78: Soap causes trouble, sister-in-law extorts money
After breakfast, Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao went to the county town to sell soap as usual.
As for Li Lan's failed attempt to steal the skills, no one mentioned it.
Business was still booming, and after selling the soaps, the two went to a state-owned restaurant for a delicious meal before going home.
Unexpectedly, something big happened at home!
From a distance, I could hear sharp cries: "It's all their fault. They have to pay for today's medical expenses!"
"Liu Ming said that if this matter cannot be resolved, he will divorce me!"
"Dad, Mom! You have to make the decision for me! I'm your sister!"
“…”
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao paused and looked at each other: "It seems to be the voice of my elder sister-in-law?"
"It's Mu Fengzhen." Gao Chunyan opened the door and pointed mysteriously at the Mu family next door, "You two are in trouble."
"What's going on?" Yu Miaomiao frowned.
They didn't do anything. Why did they get into trouble?
"You gave your eldest aunt the soap, and her mother-in-law slipped and broke her arm. Now she's yelling at you to take responsibility and pay for her medical expenses."
Su Tang blinked: "I didn't give her soap! Second sister-in-law, what about you?"
"No." Yu Miaomiao sneered and understood immediately - the mother-in-law gave her two bars of soap to her elder sister-in-law!
She doesn't care that my mother is partial to my daughter, but she still blames me for breaking her hand. That's too much!
"You two should be careful. The Liu family is not someone you can easily mess with." Gao Chunyan reminded kindly.
Yu Miaomiao picked up a big wooden sword and kicked open the door: "We are back!"
The heroic roar made Mu Fengzhen stop crying instantly.
She looked in shock at the huge wooden sword in Yu Miaomiao's hand, which was taller than a person, and lost the ability to react for a moment.
"My elder sister-in-law is here? Why are you crying like this? Who bullied you? Come on, I'll help you fight back!" Yu Miaomiao asked even though she knew the answer.
“That’s not necessary…” Old Lady Mu looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, then looked at Yu Miaomiao and asked, “How is business today?”
"The soap sells well," said Yu Miaomiao.
Old Lady Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "You've made a lot of money these days, right?"
"Yes! I sold it for dozens of dollars!" Yu Miaomiao answered readily.
Su Tang silently lit a candle for Old Lady Mu in her heart: whenever Yu Miaomiao became talkative and took the initiative to show off her wealth, it was a sign of her emotional instability.
Maybe today, I want to show off my skills again!
"My mother-in-law fell and injured herself. You two should give her twenty dollars!" Old Mrs. Mu said carefully.
"Why should I pay? All the people in the Liu family are dead?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
When these words came out, Mu Fengzhen exploded: "Second brother's wife, who are you cursing?"
"I just heard my elder sister-in-law crying so sadly, and now I have to pay for your mother-in-law's medical treatment. We thought that there was no one left in the Liu family and we needed to raise funds to buy a coffin!" Su Tang said even more unpleasantly.
Mu Fengzhen's face turned purple: "Third brother's wife!"
"Since that's not the case, then sister-in-law should go home quickly! Married people should not run back home every day, or the Liu family will have objections." Su Tang said.
Mu Fengzhen looked at Old Lady Mu aggrievedly: "Mother..."
"Here's what happened. Your soap caused the trouble. So you have to pay for it," said Old Mrs. Mu.
"Our soap caused trouble? What do you mean?" Su Tang asked.
Old Mrs. Mu coughed twice to clear her throat and said, "Your soap is too slippery. My mother-in-law broke her arm because she stepped on your soap."
"Hey, big sister, did you buy our soap?" Su Tang asked Yu Miaomiao in a pretentious manner.
Yu Miaomiao gripped the big wooden sword tightly and shook her head: "No."
"Well, I gave it to your eldest sister." Old Mrs. Mu said guiltily, "Anyway, it was because your soap was too slippery that caused the trouble. Originally, your Liu family wanted thirty yuan, but I interceded and gave you ten yuan less. You only need to pay twenty yuan."
Mu Fengzhen wiped the tears from Dabing's face and stretched out her hand: "Give me the money!"
Last time, the second brother extorted ten dollars from her, and today he finally got double the amount back.
"No." Yu Miaomiao's face turned cold. "First of all, I didn't sell you soap. Secondly, your mother-in-law is such a grown-up and wants to step on the soap herself. Who cares?"
"That's right! If you choke while eating, do you want to blame the rice seller or the cook? If you choke while drinking water, do you want to blame the well digger? There is no such logic in the world." Su Tang shook her head, "Sister, I advise you to go home earlier."
Avoid getting stabbed!
Mu Fengzhen came here just for money, so how could she understand Su Tang's hint?
"If you don't give me the money, the Liu family will divorce me!" Mu Fengzhen started crying again, "What good will it do you if they divorce me?"
"No good." Su Tang shrugged.
"So, quickly take the money and settle the matter peacefully." Old Mrs. Mu knew very well that these two daughters-in-law were not easy to deal with, so she wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
Su Tang said: "But there is no harm."
"???" Old Mrs. Mu opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Do you want your eldest sister to divorce?"
Yu Miaomiao was so angry at this shameless logic that she laughed and was too lazy to talk to them.
He swung the big wooden sword in his hand violently.
It scared everyone.
It was the first time that Mu Fengzhen saw Yu Miaomiao wielding a sword, and she covered her chest in fear: "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Showing off with a knife."
"Be careful not to poke me!"
"It's not easy for us to be paralyzed in the county. If someone wants to bully us, I'll let her have a taste of the sword!"
Yu Miaomiao's body was spinning flexibly, and she wielded the big wooden sword vividly and with a strong murderous intent.
Many times, Mu Fengzhen felt that the big wooden sword was going to chop her head. She was so scared that she hid in her mother's arms: "Mom, I'm scared..."
"Stop playing around! You're making me dizzy." Old Mrs. Mu yelled.
Yu Miaomiao put away the knife and raised her chin towards Su Tang.
Su Tang said immediately: "Whether elder sister gets divorced or not, what does it have to do with us? Mother, don't push all the blame onto us. If mother feels sorry for elder sister, she can help her out with her own money, and we as her daughters-in-law have no objection. If you don't feel sorry for her, let her fend for herself. Anyway, her affairs have nothing to do with us. If you don't agree, you can sue us!"
Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Fengzhen did not understand the law, they only knew that going to court was a shameful thing.
Mu Fengzhen married a divorced man and has been unable to hold her head up in front of her sisters for the past few years. She doesn't want to be embarrassed again.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang, she decided to wait for Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou to come back.
They were her brothers, and she didn't hit them this time, so they should give in to her this time, right?
