Chapter 4: Teach the Third Housemate a Lesson

In just a moment, Xia Juanjuan already understood.

In this family, the original owner had been bullied since she was a child, and her parents were unable to protect her.

Therefore, even if she didn't marry the fourth son of the Li family today, she would be "sold" to another man tomorrow.

Rather than staying in this family and being slaughtered, it is better to take the opportunity to get married and leave this family!

When everyone heard that she was suddenly willing to get married, they were a little stunned, but they finally untied the ropes on Xia Juanjuan's hands and feet.

After all, the bride was tied up and sent out of the house. If the villagers saw it, wouldn't they gossip about it and say that the Xia family sold their daughter?

After untying the rope, Xia Juanjuan didn't waste any time and got on the ox cart under the supervision of her uncle and third uncle.

Just as the ox cart was about to leave, Lin Yuru suddenly ran out from the house with a bundle in her hand.

"Wait! Juan'er! This is the wedding dress that I saved for a long time to make for you. You...you should put it on before you leave!"

Xia Juanjuan looked down and saw that she was wearing a gray, old dress with several patches on it. It was her turn because her cousin Xia Fangfang from her uncle's family wore it out and didn't want to wear it anymore!

However, before the package was handed over to Xia Juanjuan, it was snatched away by Uncle San's wife Sun Yuxiu and her daughter Xia Lanlan!

The one who benefited the most from Xia Juanjuan's marriage this time was the eldest wife.

The third wife got nothing, so she felt very unbalanced.

When the bundle was opened, it was revealed to be a set of bright red wedding gown, with a picture of a bird playing in the water embroidered on the corners, which was very delicate. Although there were a few patches on it, they were also made of red cloth and could not be seen clearly.

Seeing this, Xia Lanlan immediately shouted, "Mom! Isn't this the piece of red cloth you bought last month to make me new clothes, but then couldn't find it? How did it end up with Second Aunt?"

When Sun Yuxiu heard this, she immediately said, "It seems to be true! Second sister-in-law! Where did you get this fabric? Second sister-in-law, if you want to use it, you can just tell me directly, why do you have to get it yourself?"

When Lin Yuru heard this, she was stunned.

This was the quilt cover she had worked on for her neighbor for several months, and the neighbor gave her the remaining fabric! How did it become Sun Yuxiu's fabric?

"Aunt Juan'er, you...you couldn't have made a mistake! I didn't steal your cloth!"

Xia Lanlan interrupted with a sneer, "Steal? I didn't tell my mother that you stole it! You admitted it yourself!"

Sun Yuxiu also echoed, "That's right! Why would you admit it if you don't feel guilty?"

Then she turned to Li Cuihua and said, "Mom! Our house is almost becoming a den of thieves! If you don't care, my second sister-in-law will steal a lot of things from our house and give them to her daughter in the future!"

Xia Lanlan had already spread out her wedding dress and was about to put it on, while glancing at Xia Juanjuan with a smug look.

When Lin Yuru heard this, she became anxious.

She had always been humble and submissive in the Xia family, never fighting or competing, and dared not say a word when bullied by the first and third wives. However, today's wedding dress was related to her daughter's lifelong event, and she really couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Lin Yuru was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to snatch the wedding dress from Xia Lanlan's hand: "You...you evil people are the first to complain! This fabric was given to me by someone who didn't want it anymore! Give it back to me!"

Seeing that Lin Yuru dared to grab it, Xia Lanlan raised her hand to slap Lin Yuru in the face.

Sun Yuxiu's maiden family is a big family in the neighboring village, with many people and a wealthy family background, so the third branch is used to being arrogant in the Xia family. Xia Lanlan has never considered Lin Yuru to be an elder, so this slap came very easily to her!

However, before her hand could reach Lin Yuru's face, it was grabbed by Xia Juanjuan.

Then there were two loud slaps!

But, it hit Xia Lanlan on the face.

Xia Lanlan covered her face which was swollen from being beaten and looked at Xia Juanjuan in astonishment.

Others were also shocked.

Xia Juanjuan is so abnormal today!

Not only did he kick Li Cuihua, but now he hits Xia Lanlan!

Xia Lanlan was stunned: "You...you dare to hit me?!"

Xia Juanjuan's eyes were cold. She snatched the wedding dress from Xia Lanlan's hands and sneered, "I'm going to hit you. You want to steal with nothing? Look at what you can do! If you dare to touch my mother again in the future, you'll have to wait and see!"

Although the original owner's mother was cowardly, it was obvious that she really loved the original owner.

Xia Juanjuan couldn't just sit there and watch her being bullied.

Xia Lanlan came back to her senses and burst into tears: "Dad! Mom! Grandma! Xia Juanjuan hit me!"

When Sun Yuxiu saw her precious daughter being beaten, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to beat Xia Juanjuan: "Xia Juanjuan, you little whore, I will beat you to death..."

Xia Juanjuan was not at all vague. She raised her hand and slapped Sun Yuxiu twice, causing her to stagger.

Xia Juanjuan looked down at her and said, "Watch your mouth! I'm the daughter-in-law that the Li family is going to marry into. If you dare to scold me, don't blame me for hitting you back!"

Sun Yuxiu was stunned, then she sat on the ground and burst into tears: "Oh my god! I won't live anymore! A kid dared to hit me! This is outrageous!"

Only then did the others react. Li Cuihua was so angry that she picked up her cane and was about to hit Xia Juanjuan again, while Sun Yuxiu's man Xia Sanxi also raised his fist and was about to hit Xia Juanjuan.

At this moment, Xia Shuangshan suddenly rushed over, blocked Li Cuihua, raised his hand to grab Xia Sanxi's wrist and pushed hard!

Xia San likes to eat and is lazy. He was raised by Li Cuihua to be spoiled since he was a child. He is not as strong as Xia Shuangshan, who has been doing farm work all year round. He was pushed back a few steps and fell to the ground!

Xia Shuangshan clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead, and said, "Mom! Third brother! Today is the wedding day of our Juan'er! If anyone dares to hit her again, I will fight you to the death!"

Li Cuihua and Xia Sanxi had never seen the taciturn Xia Shuangshan so frowning and angry, and they both shuddered for a moment.

Xia Juanjuan glanced at her "father" and was a little surprised.

It seems that Xia Shuangshan is not completely useless.

Seeing this, Xia Dazhuang quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Forget it! Third sister-in-law, you are making a fuss without considering the situation! Juan'er's marriage is not more important than a piece of your cloth being stolen, right?"

The eldest wife benefited the most from the 30 yuan betrothal gift that Xia Juanjuan received when she got married, so of course they didn't want to cause any trouble.

Lin Yuru cried anxiously: "Her uncle, you are wrongly accusing me! How could I steal the fabric to make my daughter's wedding dress? I can ask my neighbor Sister Zhang to testify that the fabric was given to me because she didn't want it anymore!"

Xia Juanjuan sneered at Xia Dazhuang and said, "Uncle, Third Aunt said the cloth is hers. What proof is there? Now you need cloth coupons to buy cloth at the cooperative. Besides, doesn't the family have any money at all? How come Third Aunt still has money and coupons to buy cloth?"
