"I'm going to talk about my sister-in-law today!" Li Yanhong said stubbornly, refusing to listen to reason.
"My sister-in-law doesn't treat our family like her own. She's hiding several hundred yuan from the family and doesn't give any home. She's also disrespectful to my mother all the time. What an ingrate!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yan Hong, don't cause trouble. There are so many guests helping out at home today, so give your mother a break." Aunt Li Qingyun also gave Li Yan Hong a wink, signaling her not to talk nonsense anymore.
Although everyone sitting here is an elder of the Li family, they don't want to hear about your family's troubles. It's so awkward. Your parents haven't even mentioned this, and you, as a daughter who's married out of the family, are here criticizing this and that—what kind of behavior is that?
"Yan Hong, that's enough! Is this any of your business?" Uncle Liu Zhen also advised his niece.
Ye Xiaoxiao had originally intended to save face for Li Yanhong on their joyous occasion, but the girl was acting like she was on fire and insisted on causing trouble, so she decided not to be polite anymore.
"Oh, I thought you were going to say something, so you're saying that our parents are shameless and want to take money from my family? Did you say that yourself, or did Mom make you say it?"
I'd also like to ask you elders, do you usually hand over the money your maternal family gives you directly to your husband's family? How can you live your own life if you do that?
I believe my father didn't mean that. He even wanted to collect money from his daughter-in-law's family.
There's no such logic in this world, from ancient times to the present. If I give, it's out of kindness; if I don't, it's my duty.
It's not your place, my sister-in-law, to tell me what to do.
Ye Xiaoxiao remained calm and composed. That only fueled Li Yanhong's anger.
"You're so disrespectful! Look at your behavior! You talk back ten times for every word my mom says, and you don't even follow the rules of our Li family. My older brother has been too good to you. If you were in someone else's family, you wouldn't be an exaggeration to get eight beatings a day..."
Li Yanhong talked nonstop, like pouring out beans.
"Slap!" Before she could finish speaking, a loud slap landed on her face.
Aunt Ye Xiaoxiao was trembling with anger: "You shameless thing! A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; you dare to come back and boss your sister-in-law around in front of the elders? Do you think Xiaoxiao's family has no one to rely on?"
Li Yanhong was stunned by the beating, and everyone in the room rushed forward to pull her away.
The one who hit someone was Liu Cuilan, a famous matchmaker in the surrounding area. Everyone had to give her some face wherever she went.
She's always smiling and friendly when she talks to people; this is the first time I've ever seen this old woman hit someone.
"You, you, how dare you hit me! I..."
Before Li Yanhong could say anything, Liu Guihua covered her mouth.
Is this something to joke about? They have two sons who aren't married yet, and Liu the matchmaker is not someone you can easily offend.
"Sister Liu, this brat is young and doesn't know any better. Don't hold it against her. I'll take her out right now."
Liu Guihua now regrets letting her son marry Li Yanhong.
I used to see her coming home every day, she seemed quite diligent, but I never imagined she wasn't smart enough.
"Get out of my way! You're just a matchmaker, what's so great about you? You even hit me in my own home! I'll fight you to the death!" Li Yanhong's words startled everyone. Liu Zhen quickly went out to find his sister and brother-in-law.
"You dare touch my aunt? I'll show you what real hardship is!"
Ye Xiaoxiao immediately jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and stood in front of her aunt. No matter what, her aunt was old, and if Li Yanhong really went crazy, her aunt would definitely suffer.
“I’m going to move, I don’t believe it, I’ll take you down with me…” Li Yanhong forcefully shook off her aunts and mother-in-law who were holding her back, and rushed up to fight Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao saw this and thought, "Perfect timing, you started it, so don't blame me." She grabbed Li Yanhong's hair, pinned her to the ground, and started beating her mercilessly. Everyone in the room was stunned; no one had expected the full moon celebration to turn into a full-blown brawl.
"Quick, quick, go and call someone!" Several aunties hurriedly ran out to find someone.
Li Yanhong is someone who never learns from a bad experience. She didn't even hit Ye Xiaoxiao when she was pregnant, so why would she retaliate now? She even cursed defiantly.
"I'll tell you, even if you kill me, you're a jinx! I'll get my brother... to deal with you... Ah, Ye Xiaoxiao, you'd better get back to your Dongshan..."
"You started this first, I was just defending myself. I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard. When you went back to your parents' home to collect a gift, you divided each portion in two and sent it to your second uncle's house. Let's not talk about that now. In ten days, you'll see if you can divide a handful of noodles into two bundles. You shameless thing, you dare to criticize me?" Ye Xiaoxiao said, and then slapped him several more times.
"Hey, stop it! What kind of behavior is this?" People outside, hearing the commotion, rushed into the house.
Hearing the shouts, Li Chenyang rushed in. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife riding on his sister and beating her severely, with seven or eight people around trying to pull them apart.
"Hurry up, Yangzi, pull your wife away!" Several uncles and elders were stamping their feet anxiously beside them.
Li Chenyang was greeting his friends and brothers in another room when he heard the commotion coming from this side.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife on top of his younger sister, slapping her across the face—a scene so familiar. He was momentarily stunned.
"Yangzi, hurry up and pull your wife away! If they keep hitting her, she'll kill someone!"
At this moment, Liu Guihua remained silent. She closed her eyes, thinking that if she had known Li Yanhong was this kind of person, she would never have married her.
Li Chenyang was pushed in front of the two by everyone. He immediately hugged Ye Xiaoxiao:
