This was at her own parents' home, so Cao Maizi naturally had to stand up for her daughter-in-law. She chuckled twice and said, "Niece-in-law, look at you, talking so incoherently. You and your sister-in-law should talk to your sister-in-law. She didn't do anything to you."
Zhang Lianhua realized that she had acted too impulsively and lost her composure. She was afraid of offending her aunt.
She quickly apologized, "Aunt, I'm a person who can't keep my mouth shut. I just say whatever comes to mind. When I saw my sister-in-law come, I was watching the baby at my sister-in-law's bedside, and I just blurted out what was on my mind. I was just trying to make a joke at the new bride's place, but I didn't realize that the joke went too far and offended you. I'm really sorry, it's my fault for not knowing how to speak. Please don't take it to heart, or your nephew will beat me up."
On this joyous occasion, Cao Maizi didn't want to argue with her, so he gave her a perfunctory reply and led Su Xueli to the guest room to talk to her family members.
With her mother-in-law backing her up and her status as a new daughter-in-law, Su Xueli gave her a handicap.
However, if Zhang Lianhua provoked her again, she wouldn't let it go.
Zhang Lianhua watched as Wei Mingshen played cards in the men's room, but she couldn't squeeze in and was getting anxious. When she got anxious, she became irritable, constantly saying things that were sarcastic or critical of others.
The guests were all talking about her behind her back with ill intent.
The banquet finally began. The male guests were arranged in one room, and the female guests in another. The female guests' room had three tables, which were packed with people of all ages.
What a twist of fate! Su Xueli happened to sit next to Zhang Lianhua. She wanted to move to another table, but every table was packed with people sitting side by side. She would have to find someone to switch seats with if she wanted to go to another table, which was not a good idea, so she had no choice but to give up.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Zhang Lianhua, if you keep courting death, I'm ready to play along."
Fortunately, Zhang Lianhua was with Wei Mingyue on the other side, and the two of them huddled together, chattering away, which calmed Su Xueli down.
She was eager to eat her fill and then tell Wei Mingshen to go home and do chores, so as soon as the dishes were served, she started eating with everyone else without saying a word to anyone.
Now Zhang Lianhua had another opportunity to exploit, and asked her sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, did you skip breakfast?"
"Hehehe..." Wei Mingyue chuckled to herself.
Everyone at the table looked at Su Xueli, but their chopsticks didn't stop, and they didn't stop chewing their food.
Calm and composed, she said, "We've eaten, but Ming Shen and I are in a hurry to go back after we've eaten, so let's eat quickly. Second sister-in-law, aren't you hungry? If you're not hungry, then move aside. It won't be so crowded if there's one less person."
Zhang Lianhua was completely dumbfounded. How dare she speak to her like that? She directly told her to leave the room.
She slammed her chopsticks down, her face flushed, and said to Su Xueli, "Sister-in-law, do you really not consider yourself an outsider? This is my home. Are you not letting me eat?"
Su Xueli looked completely innocent. "No, Second Sister-in-law, how could I not let you eat? You just said that if you weren't hungry, you should move out first so that everyone could sit more comfortably."
Didn't I say I wasn't hungry?
"Then why did you ask me if I didn't eat breakfast?"
Zhang Lianhua was speechless.
"Sister-in-law, our second sister-in-law didn't say anything, why are you still bothered? Let's eat, let's all eat." Wei Mingyue tried to smooth things over.
But openly favors Zhang Lianhua.
Cao Shi naturally favored her daughter-in-law. She glared at her daughter, picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and placed it on the edge of her daughter-in-law's plate, saying gently, "Xue Li, eat. What are you doing sitting here if you're not going to eat?"
Zhang Lianhua blushed deeply at those words, and unable to sit still any longer, she got up and went outside.
Wei Mingyue tried to follow, but Cao Maizi sternly told her to sit down.
Zhang Lianhua stormed outside, thinking that this young wife was someone Wei Mingshen didn't like. She dared to be so arrogant towards her, so she shouldn't blame Wei Mingshen for being unkind.
