Chapter 108 Robbery!
When Jiang Ruzhen heard their voices, her heart skipped a beat.
However, she still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaomin, are you here shopping?"
"Jiang Ruzhen, don't play dumb. I'm asking you a question! What exactly do you mean by selling clothes here?" Bai Hua's words were somewhat aggressive.
"Auntie, do I need to report to you where my mother sells clothes? It's strange of you to ask that."
Before Jiang Ruzhen could speak, Shen Shuxin rushed over and blocked her way, staring at Bai Hua warily.
Bai Hua then noticed Shen Shuxin. She looked Shen Shuxin up and down and saw that she was wearing the down jacket that Jiang Ruzhen had given her to keep warm.
The vibrant colors did not overwhelm Shen Shuxin's beauty; on the contrary, they made her look rosy-cheeked, charming, and exuding a youthful aura.
Looking at her daughter, who was also dressed up quite carefully, she immediately looked dull and lackluster.
Bai Hua's anger intensified, and he grabbed a down jacket and put it on Jiang Min.
"Daughter, try it on quickly, let Mom see if it looks good."
Jiang Min happily put on the down jacket and immediately felt warm again.
"Mom, this down jacket is so warm! You should try it on too."
Without any hesitation, Bai Hua reached out and grabbed another piece of clothing to put on herself. Waves of heat swept over her, and she sighed comfortably.
"No wonder my colleague was bragging to me about how warm this down jacket is. It really is a good product, both light and warm. Now we don't have to worry about wearing three layers when it's cold."
"Mom, let's go back quickly. I can't wait to show off my clothes to my friends."
The two turned to leave, but Shen Shuxin immediately stepped forward and stopped them.
"What are you doing? You're trying to leave without paying? This is robbery!"
Jiang Min was already spoiled and arrogant by her family. When she saw Shen Shuxin standing in front of her, who was obviously dressed better than her, she became furious.
She reached out and shoved Shen Shuxin hard. "You're talking nonsense. Who robbed me? Watch your mouth. How is it robbery when I'm wearing clothes that my aunt gave me?"
Who are you to meddle in other people's business?
She had just heard Shen Shuxin call her mother "aunt" and knew that this was her aunt's only daughter.
She was jealous of Shen Shuxin from the bottom of her heart. Why was she so lucky to be born into her aunt's womb?
She grew up in a big city, living a life of luxury and being pampered by her aunt. Why should she have to go to the countryside to suffer?
Fate is so unfair. If only her fate and Shen Shuxin's fate could be switched.
Now she is the apple of Jiang Ruzhen's eye, with endless money and boundless blessings.
Caught off guard, Shen Shuxin was nearly pushed to the ground by Jiang Min, but Xie Hui caught her just in time.
"What are you doing? What right do you have to push someone?"
Xie Hui's face was terribly gloomy, and Jiang Min took a step back in fright. Upon seeing this, Bai Hua immediately rushed over like a mother hen to protect her chicks.
"What are you trying to do? Eat people? We're Jiang Ruzhen's sister-in-law and niece. Where did you come from, you little brat? You think you can lay a hand on us?"
Shen Shuxin struggled to steady herself and said angrily.
"I don't care who you are, you can't bully my mom. You only see my mom making money, but why don't you see that her hands are covered in sores from the cold? Why don't you see that her voice is so hoarse that she can't speak?"
Why didn't you see how tired she was from working from dawn till dusk carrying goods? As her closest relatives, you not only don't care about my mother, but you also come here to swagger around.
"What do you take my mother for, your slave? You just dressed and left without a word, what is this if not robbery? With me here today, none of you are leaving. Give me the money!"
The customers around them weren't in a hurry to buy clothes anymore; they were just watching the spectacle, practically ready to grab a handful of melon seeds and sit on a small stool to enjoy the show.
They pointed and whispered about Bai Hua and her daughter, making Bai Hua feel embarrassed.
After all, her husband is the deputy director of the Education Bureau. If this gets out, it won't sound good!
Bai Hua angrily confronted Jiang Ruzhen, "Jiang Ruzhen, are you just going to watch your daughter bully us? Say something! Did you willingly let us wear these clothes?"
Jiang Ruzhen was also furious, but she couldn't afford to break ties with her sister-in-law, since her brother and parents were also in the middle.
Once the relationship sours, family members can truly become enemies.
"Yes, these clothes are a gift from me. Xin Xin, come back."
Jiang Ruzhen responded calmly, then called to Shen Shuxin. Shen Shuxin stood motionless in front of Bai Hua, glaring at the mother and daughter.
"Did you hear that, little niece? Your mother herself admitted that this was a gift for us."
Bai Hua, with his head held high, walked past Shen Shuxin with Jiang Min, and whispered to Shen Shuxin, "I don't know how you got into that university. Did you waste all your education?"
"Mom, maybe she has a way, or someone who can help her cheat. Otherwise, how could someone like her deserve to go to such a good school?"
The two of them took turns making sarcastic remarks to provoke Shen Shuxin, whose eyes turned red, and she wanted to go forward and argue with them.
Xie Hui grabbed her and said sarcastically, "Don't bother arguing with two uneducated people. They've never taken the college entrance exam and don't know how rigorous the process is."
Their words only expose their ignorance; we don't need to lower ourselves to the level of such foolish people.
"You little brat, who are you calling a stupid scoundrel?" Bai Hua raised his hand, ready to hit Xie Hui.
Jiang Ruzhen stopped her arm, speaking in a cryptic tone.
“Sister-in-law, this child is a martyr’s family member. If you hit him, you’ll be in big trouble. I advise you not to cause trouble for my brother. If you’ve gotten what you wanted, leave quickly, lest I change my mind later.”
"You... Hmph, I'll let this go for your older brother's sake, but don't let me see him again next time."
Bai Hua dragged Jiang Min away angrily. Jiang Min looked back and glared at Jiang Ruzhen and Shen Shuxin, her face full of resentment.
"mom--"
Seeing her mother's restrained expression, Shen Shuxin couldn't help but call out.
"Why should we be so tolerant of them? We don't owe them anything."
Jiang Ruzhen touched Shen Shuxin's face and sighed.
"Let's do it for the sake of family harmony! Xin Xin, remember when you go to Grandma's house later, don't tell Grandpa or Grandma about this."
Shen Shuxin nodded helplessly. Her grandparents were old and had just escaped from a life of hardship.
Her body really couldn't withstand these stimuli. She nodded heavily, looking at Jiang Ruzhen with a pained expression.
The three returned to their stall and greeted people with smiles as if nothing had happened.
Just as the goods were about to be sold out, a woman rushed over from a distance. When she got closer, she saw the few down jackets left and slapped her thigh.
"Oh no, I'm too late."
