Jiang Xueying understood immediately and her eyes became sharp. It turned out that this was Qiao's eldest sister-in-law, the culprit who had bullied their family in the past and instigated her mother-in-law to drive Qiao out.
Now that Qiao was following him, she actually came to bully her. In the past, Qiao was weak and could be bullied, and she was used to bullying her, but now Qiao was someone she was protecting.
No matter who it is, no one can bully the people around her!
"Oh, so you are Sister Qiao's eldest sister-in-law. I already know the whole story of this matter. I think you'd better apologize to Sister Qiao now. We can still let this matter go lightly. It will not benefit anyone if we make a fuss."
She had a cold expression on her face, and her heart couldn't help but feel cold when she saw the sister-in-law in front of her who was bullying Qiao.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Qiao family felt as if she had heard a joke. She looked at Jiang Xueying, who did not look as delicate and tender as a country girl, and when she saw the ugly spot on her face, she found it very ridiculous.
"Apologize? Apologize to whom? It would be better if you apologized to me. You wasted so much of my time for nothing. You are so unlucky. Humph..."
There was no sign of repentance on her face, and there was even a hint of contempt in her eyes. She looked down on the timid Qiao from the bottom of her heart, so she was not afraid of the woman next to her at all.
She used to often bully this incompetent sister-in-law, but she never suffered any loss. Instead, her mother-in-law became even more afraid of her. Her life in the Qiao family became more comfortable and smoother!
This person needs to be tough and not be submissive in everything. She won't allow herself to be bullied.
Jiang Xueying looked at Qiao's sister-in-law as if she were a clown. It was only because Qiao's sister-in-law had a soft personality that she would be bullied by such a woman.
Today, she will teach her a lesson!
"I think you are Sister Qiao's eldest sister-in-law, so I have given you enough face. I have just reminded you. Since you don't know what's good for you, I don't have to give Sister Qiao face."
She helped Sister Qiao aside, then turned around and looked coldly at this domineering and vulgar woman.
"Today you came to steal our potatoes, and were caught by Sister Qiao. I didn't know there were such shameless people in the world. You were caught on the spot, but you just casually blame others."
She pressed forward step by step with a fierce momentum. Although she was petite, her words were sharp and hit directly at the weak spots of Mrs. Qiao, especially the spot on her face, which became more abrupt under her sharp eyes and looked really scary.
The expression on Mrs. Qiao's face was no longer as proud as before, and gradually became a little unnatural.
"What on earth are you talking about? You weren't there at the time, so how could you listen to this bitch's one-sided story?"
"You keep calling me a bitch. Only a foolish and ignorant woman like you would be jealous of others' wealth and steal in broad daylight. Since you don't admit it, there's no need for us to waste our breath. Let's report it to the authorities. I'm sure the authorities will handle it impartially, not wrongly accusing a good person, and not letting a bad person go!"
“You…you dare!”
When Qiao's sister-in-law heard this, she immediately became anxious. She thought that her height and strength would be enough to scare this woman, but she didn't expect that Jiang Xueying was not an ordinary person who was easy to bully.
"Do you think I dare?"
Jiang Xueying had a cold face and pulled Mrs. Qiao towards the government office, as if she was going to report to the police.
Suddenly, an old woman rushed out from the crowd with a look of fear on her face.
"No... No!"
She walked forward and tried to pull Jiang Xueying's arm, but Jiang Xueying didn't recognize the old woman, so she quickly dodged and looked at her with a frown.
The old woman did not grab Jiang Xueying, but instead grabbed Qiao who was standing beside her.
"Second brother, you must not do that. This is your sister-in-law. How can you report it to the authorities? The officials in the government are all vicious and ferocious. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. Do you want to watch your sister-in-law go to jail?"
Jiang Xueying looked at the old woman crying and sobbing, and immediately realized that this must be Qiao's mother-in-law.
Grandma Qiao was so busy pleading for her eldest daughter-in-law that she couldn't help but hold onto Mrs. Qiao with a little more force.
Qiao, who was already covered in wounds, couldn't help but twitch his lips, let out a "hiss", and his face turned pale.
"Mother-in-law, you just came up to plead for my sister-in-law, but did you see how my sister-in-law beat me? My sister-in-law stole, but she was even more aggressive than our master. She didn't apologize and even beat me. How can this be justified?"
In the past, Qiao was only concerned with being filial to her mother-in-law and never dared to talk back. But now, after going through a lot with Jiang Xueying, she has gradually become more outspoken.
Grandma Qiao was stunned when she looked at her second daughter-in-law in front of her.
In the past, when the two daughters-in-law had conflicts, she did not dare to offend the eldest daughter-in-law, so she could only persuade the second daughter-in-law to mind her own business and be patient.
Unexpectedly, today the second daughter-in-law seemed to have someone backing her up, and her reaction was quite different from before.
"Of course I know you've been wronged, but it's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs, so let's close the door..."
"I can't keep her here. If it was your daughter-in-law who was wronged like this today, I'm afraid the whole village would be overturned. Anyway, the potatoes were not stolen, so why not let Sister Qiao beat your daughter-in-law into such a miserable state, and I won't hold her accountable for stealing potatoes and beating people. How do you think?"
"No, forget it!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family immediately blushed. She had always been the one bullying the second daughter-in-law. She would never let the second daughter-in-law get ahead of her, otherwise she would be a laughing stock in the village.
Jiang Xueying was so angry at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she almost laughed out loud. There are actually such weird people in this world.
"In this case, stop talking nonsense. The government will handle it impartially, and everyone will be able to accept the result when the time comes!"
Granny Qiao protected her eldest daughter-in-law and tried to please Jiang Xueying, but it was of no avail. Jiang Xueying insisted on reporting to the police.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, who had a guilty conscience, was just pretending to be stubborn, but her heart was beating like a drum. Looking at the tough Jiang Xueying, she began to get scared.
This made Grandma Qiao even more anxious, so she had to keep begging her second daughter-in-law, hoping that she and Jiang Xueying would not pursue the matter.
Although my mother-in-law usually sides with my eldest sister-in-law, she is so old that she is almost kneeling down to me.
Mrs. Qiao felt a little sad in her heart and began to soften. If her sister-in-law was in jail and her mother-in-law was already old, what would she do as an old lady?
"Mrs. Jiang, why don't we just forget about this? After all, our potatoes weren't stolen. Fighting between sisters-in-law is just a family matter. If it gets reported to the government, it will be a big deal. My mother-in-law is old, so why don't we just forget about it!"
She was beaten and felt wronged, but she was still soft-hearted. For the sake of her mother-in-law, she pleaded for her sister-in-law who beat her.
Jiang Xueying felt a little disappointed, but she had no choice but to agree not to go to the government office.
