Yu Jiao ignored her anger and walked out of the kitchen carrying the wooden barrel. Zhao chased after her and stretched out her hand to grab the wooden barrel from Yu Jiao's hand.
Yu Jiao frowned slightly, her face was cold and without any hesitation, at the moment when Zhao tried to grab it, she raised her hand holding the wooden bucket very decisively, and a bucket of hot water poured directly onto the ground, splashing on Zhao's body. Zhao screamed in pain and cursed Yu Jiao.
Song had just fed Yu Mengshan medicine when she heard the noise in the yard and hurried out. The scene before her was Zhao, soaking wet, constantly pulling at her trouser legs and spitting viciously, while Yu Jiao stood quietly by with cold eyes.
Song hurried forward and frantically helped Zhao wipe the water off her body.
Zhao brushed her hand away. Her ankle was swollen and red from the hot water, and she dared not touch it. At this moment, she was filled with anger and raised her hand to pounce on Yu Jiao fiercely, "You stupid girl, you want to burn me to death on purpose, I will beat you to death!"
Song rushed to protect Zhao, but Zhao was strong and Song was petite and weak, so she couldn't stop Zhao at all, and all of Zhao's slaps fell on Song's body.
"Third sister-in-law, there is no way Meng girl did it on purpose. Don't bother with a child like her." Song advised.
There was no way Zhao could listen to it anymore, especially when she saw Yu Jiao standing there safe and sound. She became even angrier and scratched like a shrew, swearing to tear Yu Jiao to pieces.
The noise in the yard finally alarmed Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhoushi who were in the house.
Yu Zhou looked at Zhao, who was in a state of disgrace in the courtyard, and said with a sullen face, "What are you making such a fuss about? Are you trying to tear the roof off your house?"
Zhao took the initiative to accuse, "Mother, this bitch is going to rebel. I just used some hot water she boiled, but she was so vicious that she poured a bucket of boiling water on me. Look at how my legs are burned!"
Yu Jiao sneered. She didn't even boil the water. Otherwise, Zhao wouldn't have had the time to grind her teeth here and would have been disfigured by the burns.
"You slut, you dare to laugh? I'm going to beat you to death!" Glancing at Yu Jiao's sneer, Zhao's anger was ignited again. She howled at the top of her voice and was about to attack Yu Jiao again.
Yu Zhou didn't say anything to stop them. She actually wanted Zhao to give that bitch Meng Yujiao a good beating.
Unfortunately, Yu Ruhai was just focusing on Yu Jiao, so he interrupted her and said, "Stop it! Third daughter-in-law, look at the way you look now, how can you be so shameless?"
Zhao was scolded by Old Man Yu and stopped what she was doing. She looked aggrieved and said, "Dad, how can you be so partial to Meng Yujiao? She was the one who scalded me with boiling water first!"
Old Master Yu glanced at Yu Jiao and said to Zhao in a deep voice, "Why don't you apply some medicine on the burn? Why are you hitting a child?"
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that Mr. Yu would suddenly become so partial to her, so she could only look to Mrs. Yu Zhou for help.
Yu Zhou frowned, she didn't expect that Mr. Yu would protect Yu Jiao to this extent. She stared at Yu Jiao and felt more and more disgusted.
"Meng girl, your Third Aunt just used some hot water, but you are so cruel. Why don't you admit your mistake and apologize to your Third Aunt?"
Yu Jiao glanced at Yu Zhou and said nothing.
Song quietly tugged at Yu Jiao's sleeve, signaling her to give in. After all, the old man would protect Yu Jiao, and the matter would be over.
"You really don't repent!" Yu Zhou's face became uglier and uglier. She felt that Meng Yujiao didn't take her seriously at all. She said hatefully, "Master, it is said that doctors are kind-hearted. Although Meng Yujiao's medical skills are good, look at this girl. She has a very vicious mind and is lawless. I'm afraid our Yu family will not have a peaceful life in the future!"
After hearing what Yu Zhou said, Yu Ruhai had no choice but to say to Yu Jiao, "Meng girl, you didn't mean to spill the water on your Third Aunt, did you? Now apologize to your Third Aunt."
Yu Jiao squatted down, picked up the wooden bucket that had fallen to the ground, and said, "Of course it wasn't intentional. Aunt San came to grab the bucket, and the water in the bucket spilled out."
After Yu Jiao said this, Zhao was so angry that she almost jumped up and down, "You little bitch, I didn't even touch the bucket, you are so sharp-tongued!"
Yu Jiao sneered, "Sharp-tongued? Third Aunt, I only said one sentence, but you kept chattering."
Zhao was furious. Seeing that she was going to keep arguing, Yu Ruhai stopped her and said in a smooth manner, "Well, since it was unintentional, why are we still arguing as a family? Your legs are burned, why don't you apply some medicine quickly?"
Zhao looked unwilling, but now the old man seemed to be possessed by a ghost and was biased towards protecting Meng Yujiao. She knew that she would get nothing good if she continued to make trouble, so she glared at Yujiao twice before going into the house to apply the medicine.
Yu Zhou also gave Yu Jiao a look of disgust and turned back to the main room.
Song took the wooden bucket from Yu Jiao, refilled it with water, and pulled Yu Jiao into the kitchen. She then whispered, "Girl, why are you arguing with your Third Aunt? If she wants hot water, just give it to her and we can just boil some more."
Yu Jiao smiled faintly, "Aunt Song, I have always followed the principle that if someone respects me, I will respect them even more. If someone bullies me or insults me, I will not give in at all."
Song was stunned when she heard this, and she sighed and touched Yu Jiao's head, "Silly child, being too strong will easily lead to failure. Sometimes, it's okay to take a step back. Life is just like this in a muddle."
Yu Jiao smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
Song looked at her and shook her head helplessly.
Song quickly boiled another pot of boiling water and helped Yu Jiao carry it into the room.
After Yu Mengshan took the medicine prescribed by Yu Jiao, he felt much better and the edema disappeared. Song was finally relieved.
It was the first time for Yu Jiao to take a bath with soapberry, and she was very curious about it. She played with the soapberry for a long time. She had been locked in the small firewood room for days, and she only asked Yu Qizhe to bring her water and wipe her body twice, so her body was very dirty. After taking a bath, Yu Jiao felt much refreshed.
After pouring out the bath water, Yu Jiao took apart the mattress she had slept on yesterday and put it together with the clothes she had changed, intending to take them to wash.
There were voices coming from outside. Yu Jiao thought it was the eldest daughter of the second room, Yu Fuling, who came back. She walked out of the room carrying the dirty clothes, and the voices outside stopped.
Yu Fuling glanced at Yu Jiao and said nothing.
From her facial expression, Yu Jiao could sense that Yu Fuling didn't like her.
When Song saw the clothes in Yu Jiao's hand, she said, "Just leave the dirty clothes in the room. I'll clean them up and wash them later."
Yu Jiao shook her head, "No need, Aunt Song, I can wash it myself."
Song walked forward, took the dirty clothes from Yu Jiao's hands, and said with a smile, "Fuling has returned from her maternal grandparents' home. You two girls can talk, and I'll go wash the clothes."
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling had nothing to say to each other, and the other party obviously didn't want to pay attention to her.
