33 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Fight
◎…◎
Li Zaohua quickly comforted herself that these malted milks were most likely produced by the same factory, so it was normal for them to look similar.
The two boxes of malted milk in her house had been used up by the twins long ago, and the empty cans were sold for scrap.
This is what Zheng Xiaohong told her when she just came back from the hospital a few days ago and asked to drink malted milk.
It couldn't be that Zheng Xiaohong was fooling her and telling lies because she didn't want to give her the drink.
At that time, she had not done much to Zheng Xiaohong. Zheng Xiaohong, who was under her control, did not have the courage to lie to her.
Li Zaohua didn't know that she still underestimated Zheng Xiaohong.
When Li Zaohua was in good health, Zheng Xiaohong, who had been suppressed by her evil mother-in-law for many years, naturally did not dare to have any bad thoughts.
But ever since Li Zaohua became paralyzed, she felt that her chance to turn things around had come.
Tricking Li Zaohua and lying to her that the malted milk at home had been finished long ago was Zheng Xiaohong's first step in trying to take charge of the situation.
Malted milk is a precious and good thing.
The twins are at a critical stage in their studies and are in urgent need of nutrition. Li Zaohua, a dying old woman, is fighting with the children for food and drink. She is so unkind!
So when Li Zaohua suggested drinking malted milk, Zheng Xiaohong said calmly that she had already finished it.
Anyway, the old woman was paralyzed and couldn't get up, so it was impossible for her to get out of bed and check the cupboard herself, so whatever she said was what she had to say.
She had wanted to keep the two boxes of malted milk to give to her younger son who lived in the school dormitory, but unfortunately she was a step too late.
When she woke up, she saw the old woman happily holding malted milk, and the two boxes of malted milk she had hidden in the cupboard were gone. Zheng Xiaohong knew that she had been cheated by that damn girl Chi Gu Ai.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't go and settle the score with Iketani Ai.
If the commotion really gets out of hand and the old woman finds out that the malted milk sent by Iketani Ai was actually hidden by her, her reputation as a filial daughter-in-law, which she has carefully maintained for many years, will be completely ruined!
Zheng Xiaohong felt anxious when she thought about the strange looks her neighbors would give her and that Chi Jianjun would also be dissatisfied with her.
After remarrying in recent years, she attaches great importance to her reputation, especially her image in the eyes of others.
After all, she was able to marry Chi Jianjun for the second time, which was really a high marriage for her.
Many people who were jealous of her said bad things about her behind her back, saying that she was not worthy of Chi Jianjun and that she would be abandoned by Chi Jianjun at any time.
So she tried hard to play the role of a good stepmother and be a filial daughter-in-law.
She was used to being bullied by her ex-mother-in-law, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with being bullied by Li Zaohua.
But when facing her stepdaughter Iketani Ai, she felt more and more uncomfortable and began to feel unbalanced.
Her acting skills were not very good at that time, and her dislike for her stepdaughter was naturally revealed in her behavior.
Not only was it noticed by Ikegaya Ai, who was in a sensitive period, but it was also discovered by Wang Lunan, who had been paying attention to Ikegaya Ai.
Ikegani Ai insisted on moving to the Chen family, preferring to live with Wang Lunan's family, with whom she had no blood relationship, rather than stay at home. At that time, many people in the family quarters criticized her.
Everyone suspected that it was because she, as a stepmother, had treated Ai Iketani badly.
In order to restore her precarious reputation, she has not stopped Chi Jianjun from paying child support to Chi Guyai over the years.
You know, that's more than ten dollars every month, and it almost makes her feel heartbroken.
Because Yueyue had to pay a large amount of child support, the neighbors did not gossip about Chi Gu Ai moving into the Chen family, and instead praised her for being a generous stepmother.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be reluctant to spend the money.
Faced with everyone's praise, Zheng Xiaohong, who was burdened by fame, could only put on a brave face.
Even though he was obviously in great pain, he still said that the most important thing was that his stepdaughter lived a comfortable life.
Perhaps because she had a good reputation, that old woman Li Zaohua started to take advantage of her and treated her even more harshly.
She used all her mother-in-law's power, which she had suppressed from her ex-daughter-in-law Liao Xiangyun for eight years without success, on her.
Now that the old woman is paralyzed, with Chi Jianjun around, she doesn't dare to abuse the old woman to death openly, so she starts to retaliate in places where no one can see.
The first thing is food and drink.
As Chi Jianjun missed the opportunity for promotion and was punished and had his salary reduced, the family's income was greatly reduced.
Because she was taking care of the old lady who had passed away, she couldn't go to work in the factory, and the family's living expenses had to be reduced.
For example, the old lady used to make a bowl of egg and sugar water every morning, but she stopped doing that.
I wouldn’t even let her drink egg syrup, let alone malted milk!
But no matter how much she schemed, she couldn't outsmart her stepdaughter Iketani Ai!
Zheng Xiaohong was so angry that she almost vomited blood when she thought about the malted milk that she had hidden with great effort, but was found out by Iketani Ai and given to the dead old woman as a gift.
This malted milk is hers, it’s hers, it wasn’t bought by that damn girl!
Looking at the malted milk in the dead old woman's hand, Zheng Xiaohong's eyes turned red and she almost couldn't help but step forward to snatch it.
Noticing that Zheng Xiaohong's eyes looked a little strange, Li Zaohua hid the malted milk in her hand under the pillow with a look of caution.
This was her eldest granddaughter's filial piety to her. Could it be that Zheng Xiaohong wanted to snatch it away and leave it to the twins?!
It’s not that Li Zaohua doesn’t love her eldest grandson, but in her heart, she is the most important after all.
Only by taking good care of her health can she live to see her eldest grandson get married and start a family, and give her great-grandson!
So Zheng Xiaohong wants to steal her malted milk? Don't even think about it!
"Zheng Xiaohong, this is my eldest granddaughter's filial piety to me, so don't worry about it."
"Also, pick up the box on the ground and give it to me. Go to the kitchen and get a bowl so I can scoop a spoonful and drink it."
Zheng Xiaohong originally wanted to ignore the old woman and directly take away the bottle of malted milk that hit her head.
She still feels the pain from the hit on her head, and it's what she deserves.
But she didn't expect that the old woman was very protective of her food. As soon as she showed any signs of moving, she started howling.
"Zheng Xiaohong, if you dare to steal my things, I'll call for help and let everyone see your unfilial face!"
"I'm going to let Jianjun see your true colors and make him divorce you!"
"Even though my son is old and divorced, he can still find a virgin girl!"
The threatened Zheng Xiaohong sneered in her heart. In the old woman's mind, her son who was already old was still a hot commodity.
If it were Chi Jianjun, who was almost promoted to the head of the security department, he might be able to find someone better after divorcing her.
But don’t you see what the situation is now?
The security department is now dominated by the Chen family, and Chi Jianjun has no say at all.
Chi Jianjun's career is not going well, his salary has been reduced, and he is old. Who would want him if he leaves her?
What does a virgin want from him? Is it because his feet stink? Or is it because his erection can't last more than five seconds?
Zheng Xiaohong didn't believe that Chi Jianjun would listen to the old lady and divorce her, but she was afraid of the gossip from the neighbors.
Her son and daughter haven't married yet.
If her reputation as a mother is ruined, how can her son marry a good wife in the future, and how can her daughter marry into a good family?!
But the old woman even took care of her most precious grandson for the sake of food.
For the sake of her children, Zheng Xiaohong could only swallow her anger.
He returned the box of malted milk to the old woman and went to the kitchen to get a bowl.
Li Zaohua scooped a spoonful of malted milk into the bowl and urged Zheng Xiaohong to go to the kitchen to pour water for her to make it.
After Zheng Xiaohong left with the bowl, Li Zaohua immediately hid the box of malted milk under her pillow.
Zheng Xiaohong carried the bowl into the kitchen and felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
After pouring hot water into the bowl, she couldn't help but spit into the bowl several times.
Drink, drink, drink, why don’t you drink this old witch to death!
If she hadn't been so courageous, Zheng Xiaohong would have poured rat poison into the bowl!
Just as Li Zaohua was happily drinking the malted milk mixed with saliva, the news that Chi Gu Ai was filial to her grandmother and gave her two boxes of malted milk had spread throughout the family area.
As the person involved, Iketani Ai certainly wouldn't brag about her own products. She isn't that shameless.
Isn’t it great that she has Aunt Wang as her loudspeaker, who can be a good helper to her?
There was no need for Ikegani Ai to hint. After learning that Ikegani Ai had actually given Li Zaohua two boxes of malted milk, Aunt Wang took the initiative to tell her about it.
"Gu Ai is such a filial girl. I still remember how that old woman Li Zaohua treated Gu Ai."
"This girl is silly, yet she's so nice to Li Zaohua. If I had such a filial granddaughter, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Oh, speaking of this, I feel bad for Gu Ai. The day before yesterday, I went to visit Li Zaohua at Chi's house, and she scolded Gu Ai, accusing her of being unfilial and not staying at home to take care of her."
"I think Li Zaohua is not content and lacks ideological awareness. Gu Ai is now a police officer, and this job is very important. How can she have the time to take care of her at home?"
"Well, I ran into Zheng Xiaohong yesterday, and she also heard her indirectly saying that Gu Ai was unfilial."
"I knew Zheng Xiaohong wasn't a good person. Gu Ai was squeezed out of her home at such a young age. I don't believe she had anything to do with it."
"There are indeed good stepmothers in this world, but Zheng Xiaohong doesn't look like a good stepmother no matter how you look at her. Gu Ai has suffered a lot over the years. Children without mothers are pitiful."
"That's right. Xiao Liao is such a good person. If nothing had happened to her, Zheng Xiaohong wouldn't have had the chance to get around. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. Chi Jianjun isn't a good person either..."
With the help of these idle and gossipy ladies to promote her, Iketani Ai quickly became the object of everyone's sympathy.
When Zheng Xiaohong went out again, she found that the weather outside had changed.
Everyone knows Iketani Ai's filial piety, but she became a vicious stepmother.
When the children in the family compound saw her, they would spit at her before leaving.
Even dogs would bark at her when they met her.
Zheng Xiaohong was so angry that she felt dizzy and was about to go find Chi Gu Ai to settle the score.
But I didn't expect that today I would be so unlucky and trip over a stone on the road.
The sprained right foot was severely injured again and he could no longer walk!
When Chen Qiudi came home from school and heard the discussions in the family area, she thought Iketani Aizhen had given malted milk to the old lady.
When I got home and heard the truth from Ai Iketani, I couldn't stop laughing.
She always thought that Sister Gu Ai was a serious person, but she didn't expect her to be so mischievous.
Iketani Ai was also quite proud of her sudden inspiration.
In the original owner's memory, her stepmother and biological grandmother often put all the good things in the house into the cupboard.
This habit has not changed for many years.
So after she entered the Chi family, she went straight to the cupboard.
When she found two unopened boxes of malted milk inside, she naturally didn't hesitate.
Anyway, now everyone knows that she feeds her milk with malted milk, so she has gained a good reputation.
Even if her grandmother and Zheng Xiaohong discovered the truth and explained it to everyone, no one would believe them.
It’s not worth mentioning, and I have to scold them for being too pretentious and not knowing how to cherish their children’s filial piety.
