Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Suwen and her daughter-in-law Xu Huixue couldn't help but come out to see what was going on.
"If you're pregnant, don't come near. Stand back and look."
Chen Suwen gave an order and then quickly approached the people who were fighting.
Yes, fighting.
Wang Shaohua's mother, Liu Lifen, was already holding her breath when she saw Fu Guilan, but how could she tolerate Fu Guilan's disparaging remarks about her son?
Her most precious child is her son, Wang Shaohua. He was injured while doing something brave, and she felt both heartache and pride for him.
That bitch Fu Guilan dared to belittle her son, so she dared to fight her and teach her a lesson in how to speak properly.
"Let go of me! What are you doing!" Fu Guilan was furious as Liu Lifen slapped her while she was being grabbed by the hair.
"You damned bitch! How dare you say bad things about my son! Why don't you just die?" Liu Lifen was furious.
She had held back her anger and didn't do anything to her when they were at the food factory gate, but she didn't expect that some people would be so shameless as to come to her door and beat her up.
"Fu Guixiang! Come and help me! Are you just going to watch your sister get beaten up?" Fu Guilan cried out to Fu Guixiang for help while fighting off Liu Lifen's beating.
Of course, when she asked for help, she was also bossy and domineering; she never took her cousin seriously.
In her eyes, her cousin Fu Guixiang was always an insignificant little minion, whom she could order around as she pleased.
The elders in the family have always treated this cousin with disdain. Fu Guilan is close to her age, and of course, they have been competing with each other since childhood.
She has always looked down on this cousin, and even now that she's married, she's married to someone the cousin didn't want.
So when Liu Lifen beat her up, Fu Guilan had the audacity to ask her cousin to come and help her.
As for whether her cousin's help would make her in-laws dislike her even more, or whether she would be beaten when she returned to the Wang family, that was none of her business.
Fu Guixiang didn't move, but her subtle movements revealed that she was somewhat embarrassed.
She didn't know whether to help her cousin who had always bossed her around since she was a child, or her mother-in-law who had never given her a kind look.
Wang Shaohua grabbed her wrist. "You'd better not move, or nobody knows what will happen to you."
"Your cousin isn't good to you either. Do you dare to go and help her?" Wang Shaohua warned her with a sinister look in his eyes. "Then it won't just be as simple as my mother beating you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Guixiang immediately stood up straight and remained motionless, retracting her outstretched foot.
Everyone looks out for themselves; otherwise, they'll be condemned by heaven and earth.
Now that she's married into the Wang family, the Fu family still wants to bully her, but they have to give way to the Wang family.
Therefore, she can refuse any request from the Fu family. What does Fu Guilan being beaten have to do with her?
As long as I don't hit her, it's fine.
Doesn't Fu Guixiang hate her cousin?
Of course she hated it.
She also had a crush on a young man, but she knew her family wouldn't let her marry him.
But she never expected that her grandparents would be persuaded by her cousin to let her marry in place of a disabled man with a limp.
Fu Guilan herself looked down on this kind of man, but she insisted on pushing her fiancé onto her, and even changed her into the groom's wife on the eve of the wedding.
What chilled Fu Guixiang even more was that none of her parents or her own brothers objected to her taking her place in the marriage.
Even her sisters envied and were jealous of her, wondering why she was able to marry into the city.
She didn't care at all that the man she married was disabled, nor did she care whether he would hit her when he was in a bad mood.
"Fu Guixiang—come and help me right now—ah—" Fu Guilan screamed in pain as her hair was pulled, and couldn't help but warn Liu Lifen, "Let me go right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're welcome? What do you want to be rude to me about?" Liu Lifen grabbed the other person's hair to prevent her from running away, and with her other hand, she would either slap him or pinch her flesh.
"You still dare to show your face in front of me?"
"You fraudulent marriage swindler! You don't want my son, a good man who's getting married for the first time, but instead you want to be someone else's stepmother."
"How dare you show your face in front of me? You cheated my family out of our jobs and a few hundred yuan. How dare you come to my house?"
"What? You think my son and his wife are easy to bully? Fu Guilan, you little bitch, do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you?"
"Just because I gave your man face before, you think I wouldn't dare to touch you, right?"
Liu Lifen finally vented her anger on Fu Guilan, hitting her with a ferocious expression.
"You crazy woman, let me go!"
Fu Guilan is a young woman, while Liu Lifen is a middle-aged woman. Although their physical strength is not much different, Fu Guilan definitely has the upper hand.
The main reason is that Fu Guilan hadn't worked in the fields for over ten years, so she hadn't developed the strength she needed.
Liu Lifen is busy with housework and taking care of her youngest son, so she has a lot of physical activity and is quite strong.
Even so, she was no match for Fu Guilan.
After Fu Guilan retaliated, Liu Lifen was also hit several times. She imitated Fu Guilan by grabbing her hair and slapping and pinching her.
"You really think I wouldn't dare hit you, you old hag?" Fu Guilan couldn't take it anymore and retaliated while cursing her.
"Why would I marry someone like you, someone I'd want to cling to my belt and take everywhere with me, someone I'd want to carry around even when I'm pooping or peeing?"
"Does marrying me mean I have to sleep in the same bed as you?"
"You old hag, you cherish your son so much, you wouldn't be sleeping between him and his wife, would you?"
"How could I possibly want to marry into this family with a mother-in-law like you? I'm young and beautiful, I don't want to sleep with an old hag like you."
"So what if I'm a stepmother? My husband is much more successful than your son!"
"My husband is a factory manager at such a young age, and what about your son? Your son is disabled! Your son's life is ruined!"
"Why should I marry into this family to serve a cripple? A woman as outstanding as me deserves an even more outstanding man."
"Your son, die!"
Fu Guilan really looked down on Wang Shaohua. Ever since he became disabled, his appearance had dropped several degrees compared to when he was in good condition.
She used to treat him kindly because of his face and his status as a city dweller.
Now she didn't want to give him a kind look at all, let alone say anything nice to him.
She used to dream of marrying into the city, so she acted subserviently and flattered the Wang family mother and son.
Now that she's married and moved to the city, why should she still swallow her anger?
When she was at her parents' home, all she needed to do was please her grandparents and parents; she could trample on everyone else.
Now that she has achieved her goal, why should she continue to fawn over the Wang family?
Do they even deserve it?
