The noisy movement at the door finally alarmed the people in the house.
Jiang Fangru opened the door and looked at Old Lady Xia and her pregnant daughter sitting on the ground with a puzzled look on her face.
She hurried out the door and helped her daughter up distressedly. "What's wrong? You're still pregnant, why are you sitting on the ground? Xiangdong's mother, can't you just talk about it?"
She was wearing new clothes and her hair was neatly tied up. She looked clean and energetic. She stood in front of Old Lady Xia, looking down at her who was still sitting on the ground crying, with some dissatisfaction and disgust.
She has always looked down upon this kind of shrewish behavior, so she was too lazy to even help her.
"Mom, what's going on outside? There's a big thing happening at home today." Jiang Fangru's eldest son Zhu Wenfei came out and frowned when he saw the neighbors gathered to watch the excitement. Today is his big day, is someone causing trouble?
"It's okay, you go in with Yu Xue, mom is here." Today is the first day that her eldest son and Yu Xue, the daughter of the deputy director of the food factory, meet. Their family had happily prepared a large table of food, but who knew that this old woman would come to their door. It was really bad luck, they had to send her away as soon as possible.
When Old Lady Xia saw Zhu Wenfei, she remembered him from her previous life.
Zhu Wenfei is not a good person, even more vicious than Zhu Wenying. In the beginning, he coaxed Yu Xue into marrying him by humble means, and later he opened his own factory with the help of his father-in-law's connections and became very successful.
However, after the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, his father-in-law was forced to be laid off. This guy then started keeping a mistress outside and had a son with her. He then brought the woman home openly.
When Yu Xue made a scene, he beat her. By the end, the girl was so good-looking that not a single piece of her flesh remained intact. When his father-in-law came to ask for an explanation, he pushed her and she slipped and fell, hitting her head on a rock. She was taken to the hospital but died.
Later, it was heard that Yu Xue fought with him and stabbed him to death with a knife. Yu Xue herself was also sent to prison.
While crying, Old Mrs. Xia secretly looked at Yu Xue, who was following Zhu Wenfei with only her head sticking out. She was very white and looked a little delicate. She looked at her with some sympathy and pity, as if she wanted to squeeze out, but was blocked by Zhu Wenfei.
Old Mrs. Xia tearfully recounted the story, trembling as she pointed at Zhu Wenying. "Jiang Fangru, you've taught your daughter well. Now she's beating up her mother-in-law. Are you going to kill her in the future?"
Jiang Fangru felt guilty and blamed her daughter for being stupid. She didn't even put in any effort, which gave the old woman an advantage. She chose to make a fuss at this time.
If this ruins her eldest son's marriage, she will never forgive them.
"Xiangdong's mother, you need evidence for what you say. My daughter married into your family with a clean record. When she was a daughter in my Zhu family, no one ever accused her of disrespecting her elders or beating her mother-in-law. Who would believe that? My daughter is the most filial. If you don't believe me, ask everyone."
"During festivals, she would always send something to her uncles and aunts, and even on rainy days, she would go there in person."
Jiang Fangru looked at Old Lady Xia with a sinister look, "Don't worry, you didn't do anything against the will of heaven. My daughter was bullied by your family, and I got angry and had a conflict with you. Everyone here knows that you, Xia Yue'e, will make a fuss even if you are unreasonable."
As soon as she finished speaking, a neighbor who was not afraid of making trouble started to make a fuss, "Aunt Jiang, Sister Wenying scolded her grandmother for being old and naive before. Don't think we didn't know. A lot of people were watching at the time. Don't you feel guilty when you say she is filial?"
Everyone laughed, and one of them said, "I have a relative who lives in Aunt Xia's compound. Although Aunt Xia is not very friendly to outsiders, she is very kind to her family. She even washed Zhu Wenying's clothes herself."
"Oh my god, she let her mother-in-law wash this kind of thing. Isn't Zhu Wenying afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"It's inherited from our ancestors. Jiang Fangru was also very strong-willed when she was young. You young people may not know this, but everyone in our generation knows that she, Jiang Fangru, also asked her mother-in-law to wash her clothes."
"I lived next door to her, and she used to scold her mother-in-law all the time. It was a pity that her mother-in-law, a widow, raised her son with great difficulty, but now that she had her own family, she was scolded by her daughter-in-law."
"Now she's old and has been driven to live in the countryside. Even when she's sick, this vicious woman won't let Old Zhu visit her."
Jiang Fangru didn't expect that these neighbors would be so disrespectful to her that they would even bring up those old stories. Her face suddenly turned dark.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you jealous just because my son is getting married?" Jiang Fangru glared at him viciously.
Her Zhu family has a bad reputation, and the reputation of their compound will not be good either. How can they be so ignorant?
However, the neighbors were not afraid of her. They had long seen clearly what kind of monsters the Zhu family was. If he really married a girl from a good family, it would be so unlucky for the girl.
Seeing that no one was giving him face, Old Zhu could no longer sit still. He forced a smile to comfort Yu Xue, then opened the door and politely and sincerely pulled Old Lady Xia up from the ground. "I'm sorry, mother-in-law, Wenying's mother doesn't know how to speak, please bear with me. The ground is cold, please get up quickly and come into the house to talk."
Old Zhu saw the Chen family in the crowd and smiled. "Old Chen, and son-in-law, come in. That's your second son, right? Don't stay back there. Come in and have a cup of hot tea."
"Our Wenying is young and sometimes does things without considering the consequences. If she has offended my mother-in-law, I would like to apologize on her behalf. Please don't bother with her. I will scold her."
After a few people pushed and shoved, they were pulled into the house by Old Zhu. He then nodded to the neighbors who were watching the fun and said, "Everyone, please go away. This is just a small matter in our family. There's nothing to see. Wait until my son Wenfei gets married. Then come to my house for some candy and join in the fun."
He closed the door, blocking out the neighbors' sight.
After entering the house, Old Zhu's expression was extremely hypocritical, and Old Mrs. Xia seemed to see him rolling his eyes.
Sure enough, this shameless old man, Old Zhu, is just like Old Chen in her family. He likes to hide behind his wife and use her as a gun. This kind of man is so cowardly.
Old Mrs. Xia glanced at Old Chen subtly. Old Chen's expression was much more sincere. He was really worried.
"Mother-in-law, what's going on? Why are you mobilizing so many people? Can't you find some time to talk in private?" Old Zhu's first words labeled Old Lady Xia as ignorant.
Old Lady Xia rolled her eyes in response. "Find time? How dare I wait? If I wait any longer, I, Xia Yue'e, will die at the hands of my daughter-in-law."
Old Lady Xia's ability in using yin and yang is no worse than Jiang Fangru's. As long as she uses some of her skills in scolding outsiders on her own people, who can defeat her?
