Chapter 41: Fighting Liu Lan

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. I have a plan in mind."

Before she traveled through time, Xia Juanjuan's parents died in a car accident when she was sixteen, and she hadn't felt the care and love from her mother for a long time.

Even though Lin Yuru wasn't that good before, he really cared about her now, which made her eyes turn even redder.

Lin Yuru sighed again: "Ah... Speaking of which, where are those three little brats?"

"I went to collect firewood with the children of the third house."

Lin Yuru nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said, "Adopting these three kids... is fine. Auntie is willing to give you most of the allowance, which shows that you are responsible. But why is your life so miserable... Why did you get injured in that place... Juaner has to live a widowed life and can't give birth to your own children in this life..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but pull up the corner of his clothes to wipe away his tears.

Then he reminded her in a low voice: "But Juan'er, you should also be careful and think more about yourself. After all, the biological mother of those three little guys just remarried. If she comes back to ask for her own children, won't you be left with nothing?"

Xia Juanjuan actually thought about this.

If the biological mother of the three little ones really comes back to ask for the children, it will all depend on their own choices. If they want to stay, she will continue to raise them. If they want to leave with their biological mother, she will not stop them.

Everyone has the right to choose his or her own life, even children, and it cannot be forced.

Anyway, she adopted them because she felt sorry for them being bullied and abused, and she didn't intend to let them take care of her until she died.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, her adoption this time was probably obvious to everyone.

Xia Juanjuan did not explain, but just replied vaguely: "I know. The mutton soup is getting cold, you should drink it quickly."

At this time, Wang Guixiang suddenly appeared at the door and asked, "Fourth sister-in-law, did you make mutton soup? I said I could smell the smell of meat coming out of your room early in the morning! It almost killed me! Any more? I...I'm not drinking it myself! I'm going to bring a bowl to our mother! As a daughter-in-law, you can give it to your own mother, and you should also give it to your mother-in-law. This is called filial piety, don't you think?"

When Xia Juanjuan heard Wang Guixiang's words, she knew that it was Liu Lan who instigated her to make things uncomfortable.

She smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is true. I have already separated from my mother-in-law under the witness of the commune secretary. It is up to me whether I make mutton soup or beef soup and give it to whomever I want. It cannot be said that I am filial or not. Besides, my husband gives my mother-in-law ten yuan a month as a filial piety. Shouldn't he use all the ten yuan to eat mutton and drink mutton soup as much as he wants? If you ask your mother-in-law for money and go to the town to buy it and make it for her, wouldn't it show that you are more filial?"

Wang Guixiang was stunned when she heard this. It seemed to be true! Ten yuan from Lizhan could buy more than eight kilograms of mutton! If she asked for two or three yuan, she could buy one or two kilograms of mutton, wouldn't the whole family be able to eat enough? She could also use this to gain a reputation as a filial daughter-in-law!

Wang Guixiang thought about it and looked expectantly at Liu Lan who was standing not far behind her.

Liu Lan naturally heard everything that was said and was so angry that she almost passed out!

Xia Juanjuan, this vixen, is now finding ways to instigate Wang Guixiang to ask her for money!

Liu Lan glared at Wang Guixiang fiercely, walked in and went to the battle herself, with her hands on her hips, and scolded:

"Daughter-in-law Zhan, you made mutton soup, but instead of honoring your parents-in-law, you called your mother over early in the morning to give her some! You, a glutton, secretly gave my son's allowance to your parents!"

Behind her, Li Qiaoqiao also looked at Xia Juanjuan with a gloomy face and said, "That's right! Mom, who knows, she might have secretly given him to some lover in the village! My fourth brother is in such a bad condition, and she is not hungry..."

With a sound of "Pa Pa!", before Li Qiaoqiao could finish her words, she was slapped twice on the face!

Everyone present was stunned. Li Qiaoqiao's cheeks were swollen with five finger marks and her nose was bleeding. She covered her face and stared at Xia Juanjuan with tears in her eyes.

Xia Juanjuan glanced at Li Qiaoqiao coldly: "You dare to come into my house and make up rumors about me to ruin my reputation, you are so brave! What? Do you think I dare not hit you because your mother is following you? Or do you think you are the chosen one and everyone will give in to you? The next time I hear you make up a rumor about me, don't blame me for exposing all your ugly deeds!"

When Li Qiaoqiao heard Xia Juanjuan's last words, her face turned pale in an instant and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The figure from last time was indeed Xia Juanjuan! She saw her and Jiayuan go into the woods!

No! She must find a way to stop Xia Juanjuan from telling anyone about this!

When Wang Guixiang heard what scandal Xia Juanjuan was talking about, her curiosity immediately burned and she asked excitedly, "Scandal? What scandal did my sister-in-law have?"

Liu Lan glared at Wang Guixiang fiercely: "Shut up! Why are you everywhere? Zhan'er's daughter-in-law, don't change the subject! Do you admit that you took my son Zhan'er's allowance and gave it to your mother? I will immediately find the commune secretary and let him make the decision to return all Zhan'er's allowance! I can't let you, a scoundrel, get it for free!"

Seeing Xia Juanjuan's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sisters-in-law all coming to call her to task so fiercely, Lin Yuru subconsciously gave the mutton soup in her hand to Liu Lan: "Mother-in-law..."

But Xia Juanjuan grabbed her and scolded her in a low voice: "Mom, drink your drink and don't worry about this! If you dare to give this mutton soup to her, I will no longer recognize you as my mother!"

Xia Juanjuan looked at Liu Lan with a sneer:

"It seems like you're still unwilling to give up on my man's allowance? Go ahead and find it! My mother brought me rabbit hair and rabbit meat early in the morning, so what's wrong with me giving her mutton soup?

Mother-in-law, if you had prepared a new quilt for me on my wedding night, I would have brought you a bowl of mutton soup in person today!

People are all made of flesh and blood, and people should give and take. Just thinking about taking advantage, without giving anything, not giving a penny, how can such a good thing happen in the world?

Also, don't think I don't know that it was you, mother-in-law, who told Song Xiuyue that I went into the mountains when she blocked my way at the entrance of the village! They were all determined to send me to jail, and I was still serving you mutton soup? Why didn't you go to heaven?"

Wang Guixiang looked at Liu Lan again and asked in shock, "Mom, was it really you who was responsible for Song Xiuyue's wrongful accusation against my fourth brother's wife last time?"

Liu Lan was exposed, with a wonderful expression on her face. She hit Wang Guixiang with her crutch and screamed, "What have I done wrong? She has evidence? You are just following her and making a fuss! Get out of here! If I hear you helping her again, I will tell your man and let him hammer you to death!"

Wang Guixiang was hit so hard that her body twitched in pain and she shrank back.

But for the first time, she felt that her mother-in-law was terribly cold and sinister!

Didn't the fourth brother's wife have a separate family and also get a large share of her husband's allowance? Although she was jealous, she also felt that it was natural.

Anyway, even if all the money was given to Liu Lan, she wouldn't get any benefit. On the contrary, if her man got rich one day, she could follow the example of the fourth brother's wife and take the lion's share!

But why was her mother-in-law so cruel that she wanted to send her fourth brother's wife to jail? She heard from the villagers that if the frame-up was successful, her fourth brother's wife would be imprisoned for seven or eight years! Isn't this person ruined?

If I do something to offend her in the future, won't she send me to jail? !
