In Chen Mei's eyes, Chen Xianghong is a replica of Old Lady Xia. Old Lady Xia is a diligent old ox, while Chen Xianghong is a diligent young ox, and is also someone who should not be taken seriously.
She knew her elder brother, who had always been patriarchal. Not only was he indifferent to Old Lady Xia, he also rarely cared about his daughter. So it didn't matter how they bullied him, and this was the key to fueling her arrogance.
Chen Mei glanced towards Old Chen and found that Old Chen was also looking at her secretly. Chen Mei was a little confused. When did her elder brother become so concerned about their affairs as women?
Old Chen was praying in his heart, hoping that everyone would get through the day safely. But he didn't expect that Old Lady Xia hadn't gone crazy yet, but instead Chen Xianghong's mouth was like gunpowder, spraying out gunpowder.
Chen Mei's face was very ugly. She was scolded by the little yellow cow, so her face must not be very good. If Chen Xianghong had such a strong character before, she would not be so angry when she was scolded today.
But in the past, Chen Xianghong had the temper of a little lamb. She would step on anyone and still have to smile. Being scolded by such a person, Chen Mei felt that her dignity was challenged.
Her face turned pale as she glared at Chen Xianghong. "Xianghong, do you still have any regard for your elders, including me? Didn't your mother teach you how to respect your elders? You've been in the countryside for so many years, you're getting older and older, and your character is declining. You're no longer like a member of our Chen family."
"You have to remember, you're not some motherless girl. Even if you can't come back to the countryside, you grew up in the city. Don't be assimilated by those unscrupulous farmers who work tirelessly in the fields."
"I'm your aunt, not your enemy. We relatives are supposed to help each other. We've always been like this before, and we all get along well. Why are you so stubborn this time? Your mother didn't say anything, so how can you, a junior, have the right to speak?"
"You're such a poor parent! Hurry up and go say hello to your Third Aunt. She's different from you. She grew up in a wealthy family. Prepare her food right away so she doesn't have to wait any longer."
Chen Mei hadn't been in contact with her eldest brother's family for a long time, and didn't know that Chen Xianghong had returned from the countryside a long time ago and was working in the supply and marketing cooperative in Hai City. Not only did he have a decent job, but he had also improved his eloquence.
Chen Xianghong sneered, "Aunt, I'm already giving you a lot of face by still calling you Aunt. I just told you, if you're still not able to recognize yourself after living so long, you should look in the mirror more often."
"My mother is your eldest sister-in-law. Instead of serving her respectfully, you ask her to serve Third Aunt. Do you have a brain? What have you been eating all these years? Why don't you ask my grandma to crawl out of the coffin and cook for her?" Chen Xianghong didn't hold back her voice, but cursed even louder.
"Aunt, you won't still want Xinhe's mother-in-law to do her laundry and cooking for her in the future, will you? If she refuses, will you rush to their door and yell at them? Is her mother-in-law from the countryside or the city? Does she have a job or not? When you look at her, do you already dig up her entire ancestry?"
"If her parents-in-law have jobs and status, you would want to lick their feet. If they don't have jobs and status, your eyes will be on your forehead, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, does my brother-in-law, whom I haven't even met yet, know that you're this kind of person? Don't let them regret marrying into your family, and my sister Xinhe be kicked out of the house and become a second-married woman."
The first few sentences were what she heard Sister Sun’s biological mother scold her at the supply and marketing cooperative in Hai City. There were even more unpleasant ones, but she only remembered these few sentences, which happened to be useful.
As expected, these words were incredibly devastating. Chen Mei was already shaking with anger. Her daughter hadn't even had her wedding yet, and this little bitch was already threatening her with divorce. Even the best-tempered Chen Mei couldn't stand it, especially since she already had a bad temper.
She was only gentle in front of her husband and children, but she was always arrogant in front of the relatives she looked down upon. I don't know how much bullying Old Mrs. Xia suffered from her in the first few years after she came into the family.
And her daughter, who was about to get married, looked very much like Chen Mei, worthy of being mother and daughter. So when Chen Xianghong scolded her, she didn't feel guilty at all.
She is very angry now, very angry that they look down on her and her mother, and hates them for disrespecting their family.
She felt that there was no need to have any dealings with such a family. If she offended them, then so be it. At worst, her father would be angry with her and scold her out of consideration for their brotherly love.
If all else fails, she can just go to Hai City early if she is kicked out. That’s no big deal.
Chen Mei felt that even if she was not as good as her Third Aunt, her life had been smoother than that of girls from other families. She had never heard anyone point at her nose and scold her like that, let alone a junior. She immediately raised her hand and wanted to slap her.
"Your mother has taught you this. She's still a country girl at heart. She even disrespected your grandmother who passed away many years ago. I've said it before, your mother is not worthy of my eldest brother. She's a stinking, lowly person. Since she won't teach you, I'll teach you a lesson on her behalf."
After hearing these derogatory words, Old Mrs. Xia suddenly turned around and stared at Old Chen. Coincidentally, Old Chen was also looking at them, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
It’s over, Old Chen felt a pang in his heart, and there was no way to stop the situation.
He immediately wanted to run over and teach his eldest sister a lesson himself, which would be better than letting her be beaten to death by Old Lady Xia.
He shouted, "Chen Mei, she is your sister-in-law, are you crazy to say such a thing?"
No matter how fast Old Chen spoke, he was no faster than Old Lady Xia's hand. She smashed the bowl of brown sugar water in her hand onto Chen Mei's head.
At noon the day before Song Xinhe's wedding banquet, her mother was killed.
Luckily for Chen Mei, the bowl was of good quality and didn't break. A large bump appeared on her head, but there was no bleeding.
Chen Mei was stunned. Song Tiancheng, who was watching his wife quarreling, was also stunned. All the men who were chatting and bragging outside were stunned, except Old Chen.
When Old Chen rushed over, Song Tiancheng thought he wasn't a man at all. No man should get involved in the affairs of old women. At most, they'd just exchange words or fight by pulling each other's hair. What could possibly go wrong?
It was not until he saw with his own eyes that a bowl hit his wife's forehead and caused a big bump. At that moment, he clearly saw the murderous intent in Old Mrs. Xia's eyes. His sister-in-law, who had a gentle personality since she married into the family more than 20 years ago, really wanted to beat his wife until she bleed.
Chen Mei was going crazy. Her head was in great pain. At that moment, her vision went black. Her lowly sister-in-law actually dared to hit her.
"Ah - I'm going to fight you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you today." Chen Mei raised her hand like a madman, wanting to slap Old Lady Xia in the face, wanting to grab her hair and slam her against the wall, wanting to bite her ears with her teeth until they were pulled off.
She couldn't bear this great humiliation. Today, either she, Xia Yue'e, would die or she would live a life worse than death.
