"Me? What about me? What do you know? Are you comparing me to the Li family? Besides, you're my daughter, not the Li family's daughter. Whose side are you on? Huh!" Yuan Xiangyong was so angry at Yuan Mengge's retort that he pointed at her and started cursing along with her.
Yuan Dasheng chimed in, "And you! You threw a hornet's nest in there, did you want the hornets to bite me and them together? Even if you were going to throw it in, didn't you know you should have told me first?"
Yuan Mengge didn't take their words to heart; after all, she had heard them so many times when she was a child that she had become somewhat immune to them.
But she kept talking as she walked, saying, "I'm on the side of reason, not family. I'll help whoever is right. Even if you're my dad, it doesn't matter. Let me tell you, my sister E is innocent today. She didn't do anything. Don't scold her."
Then he said to Yuan Dasheng, "Shut up! I'm not here to help you. I don't care if you get stung by wasps!"
He then pulled Li Xue'e into the bedroom and said to her, "Sister E, stay in the room and ignore them. I'll bring you some food in a bit."
Li Xue'e felt wronged and didn't want to face the rest of the Yuan family. Hearing her say that, she nodded.
She watched Yuan Mengge close the door and sit on the edge of the bed. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her nose started to sting.
Others are happy and joyful when they return to their parents' home after getting married, but today she not only suffered grievances herself, but she will also be scolded when she returns to the Yuan family.
What did she do wrong to be born into that kind of family, and then be married into it?
Luckily, her sister-in-law is kind to her; otherwise, how would she survive in this family?
After Yuan Mengge went outside, she yelled at Yuan Dasheng, "And you! Why did you push Sister Xue'e today? You're a man, so strong. How could she withstand your force? Let me tell you, if you go and lay a hand on Sister Xue'e again, I'll break your hand!"
Yuan Dasheng didn't expect her to turn around and curse at him, so he couldn't help but curse back: "Who told her to come and get in my way? If she hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten her brother to a pulp! It's all her fault for getting in the way!"
"How are you going to beat all those men by yourself? You'd be lucky if you didn't get beaten to a pulp!" Yuan Mengge said irritably.
As soon as Yuan Xiangyong saw Li Xue'e enter the room, he continued to grumble and curse.
"We've already given them two thousand in betrothal gifts, and they still think it's too little? Why don't they see how much other families have given? They even dared to ask for three thousand eight in the first place. Do they think they're from the city?"
Yao Dongqing didn't say anything, but simply said, "It's time to eat, Aping, call your sister-in-law down to eat."
Yuan Mengge went to the kitchen, picked up a bowl, and helped Li Xue'e prepare the food while saying, "Do you think she's in the mood to eat now? If you were in this situation, would you be happy? She didn't marry into a good family, and now she's going to be scolded again when she comes back."
Hearing her say that, Yao Dongqing retorted irritably, "Am I wrong for just inviting her to dinner?"
