"What's wrong? Xiaofan."
Old Mrs. Pei was busy in the kitchen when she heard Pei Yifan's shrill cry. How could this be tolerated? Someone actually bullied her precious grandson. This was the only root left by her second son.
"Grandma, please save my mom! She's about to be beaten to death by Auntie. Auntie is using such a thick carrying pole to hit her. My mom's injuries haven't healed yet. What if something happens to her after being beaten by Auntie? I'll be a motherless child in the future. How pitiful!"
"There's such a thing! Is the eldest brother's wife crazy?"
After hearing what her grandson said, Mrs. Pei quickly put down the work in her hands, thought for a while, and picked up a rolling pin.
When it comes to fighting, Li Miaomiao is much stronger than the original master. She has done things like fighting before, but she is not as strong as Zhou Fang, a rural woman who works in the fields. The two of them won and lost in the fight. Zhou Fang did not get any good results, and Li Miaomiao also took a few hits.
Li Miaomiao was sharp-eyed and saw her cheap mother-in-law rushing over from the kitchen.
"Zhou Fang, I can tolerate your usual sharp words and stubbornness, but my Pei Guoan obviously did something for our village, but you slander me with white teeth. You just can't tolerate my mother and me and want to drive us out. You have lost your conscience! You bully me, an orphan and a widow." Li Miaomiao cried out in a singing and songwriting voice. Before this, she really didn't expect that one day she would behave like a shrew.
Old Mrs. Pei had originally sided with Li Miaomiao because of Pei Yifan's words. After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, she directed the rolling pin in her hand directly towards Zhou Fang.
"You troublemaker, why are you bullying the second son's wife and her son? The Pei family hasn't split up yet, and we two old men are still here. It's not your turn to make the decision."
No matter how much Zhou Fang threw a tantrum, she didn't dare to confront her mother-in-law. She became more and more courageous when fighting against Li Miaomiao, but when she faced her own mother-in-law, Zhou Fang could only be beaten.
Old Mrs. Pei was furious and didn't hold back, beating Zhou Fang so hard that she cried out in pain.
Pei Yifan glanced at Zhou Fang viciously, and the corners of his mouth curled up. She deserved to be beaten by her grandmother for daring to bully his mother. If he were not so young, he would definitely teach Zhou Fang a lesson himself.
"Mom, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. Isn't that enough?!"
Zhou Fang had no choice but to give in under her mother-in-law's control, but she felt a little resentful in her heart, thinking that her mother-in-law was partial to her sister-in-law. However, she didn't know that Pei Yifan had already complained to Grandma Pei first, and Li Miaomiao deliberately said those words to Grandma Pei. It would be strange if Grandma Pei was not partial.
However, Zhou Fang gave in, but Li Miaomiao had no intention of letting her go. She looked at Old Lady Pei and said, "Mom, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but what my sister-in-law said was too much. We all know how Guoan was destroyed, but my sister-in-law is trying to pin Guoan's misfortune on me. What's her plan? Besides, Guoan just couldn't be found. I have a feeling he must still be alive. Why does my sister-in-law have the right to curse our Guoan?"
"Second son's wife, this is indeed the eldest son's wife's fault. Don't bother with her."
"Mom, if it were anything else, I'd be too lazy to argue with my sister-in-law. But today's matter is different. It concerns my reputation, and I can't just let it go."
Li Miaomiao was so persistent that Old Mrs. Pei became a little impatient. She had already taught the eldest daughter-in-law a lesson after a few quarrels between the sisters-in-law, so what else did she want.
"Second daughter-in-law, please stop and don't go too far."
"Mom, I'll listen to you on everything else, but not on this one! My sister-in-law said this to my face, and I don't know how she'll frame me outside. I have to invite the village chief over today to judge the situation. Otherwise, I'll be wrongly accused to death and I won't be able to live anymore!"
Li Miaomiao wasn't arrogant. On the contrary, having arrived, she felt compelled to adapt. She understood that in this day and age, reputation was crucial in a small mountain village like this. At least now, even traveling far required a letter of introduction, and leaving the village was not easy.
Zhou Fang panicked when she heard that Li Miaomiao was actually going to make trouble to the village chief.
"Second brother's wife, I just said a few words casually, it was all unintentional, don't make such a fuss about it, at worst I can just not say that in the future, right?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't believe your words unless you apologize to me and swear in front of Mom and the whole family."
Zhou Fang was a little unhappy when she heard Li Miaomiao say this. If she really did that, where would she put her face? She was the eldest daughter-in-law.
"This is my bottom line. If sister-in-law can't do it, then let's go to the village chief and talk it over. I don't believe there's no place for reason. My family's Guoan sacrificed himself for the village. If the village chief doesn't give me justice, I'll hit my head and die there. It will also save us, an orphan and a widow, from being bullied. It's better to die."
As Li Miaomiao said this, Pei Yifan, who was the god of assists, quickly hugged Li Miaomiao's thighs and said miserably: "Mom, please don't die. I already lost my dad. If you die, I will become an orphan. Auntie doesn't like me and will probably torture me. I am so miserable! Wuuwawa..."
Mrs. Pei was a bit hesitant at first, but seeing her grandson looking so pitiful, she glared at Zhou Fang. "Old lady, why don't you just agree now? Do you really have to invite the village chief? If you really embarrass him, I'll be the first one to not forgive you. You're a troublemaker, a troublesome spendthrift. You're just dissatisfied with how well our family lives are, aren't you?"
In the end, Zhou Fang gave in, apologized to Li Miaomiao in front of everyone, and made a promise. Only then did Li Miaomiao stop caring about it, but she also promised that there would not be a next time.
After dinner, Li Miaomiao didn't offer to help wash the dishes. She made an excuse that she had a headache, put down the dishes, and took her adopted son back to the room.
Seeing Li Miaomiao's behavior, Zhou Fang was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she had just learned a lesson, so she didn't dare to make a fuss again. She could only help Chen Xuexiang clean up the dishes with a frustrated look.
When Daya and Erya from the third room saw Li Miaomiao like this, their eyes were full of admiration. They looked at Pei Yifan with envy as Li Miaomiao held their hands. They thought their second aunt was so powerful. If only their mother could be so powerful, they would not be bullied by the first room and dare not resist.
After finishing their meal, Li Miaomiao took Pei Yifan to bed early. There was no entertainment program at night, and if they wasted lamp oil, they would be scolded by Old Lady Pei.
The result of going to bed early is that you wake up early the next day with your stomach rumbling.
There is not much oil in the food, so I get hungry quickly.
Seeing that there was still some time before breakfast, Li Miaomiao rummaged through the drawers and finally found a small bag of biscuits in the box. She shared it with her step-son and felt better.
