Xu Honglian shouted loudly, trying to attract attention first and then blame Lu Huaijiao for the crime.
Her plan can be considered very good.
But it's a pity that the other party is Lu Huaijiao!
When Xu Honglian threw dirty water at her, she not only didn't care, but even kept nodding and admitting, "Yes, yes, yes, I hit someone!"
Xu Honglian cried out even louder.
Liu Chun, who was cooking next door, and Zhang Cuiping from the third house, both heard the crying coming from their in-laws' yard. They stood by their own wall and listened, neither of them wanting to come over to watch the commotion or anything.
Xu Honglian ignored everything and continued to wail loudly.
Until He Meizhu returned.
"What's going on here?"
He Meizhu came in from outside and saw her second daughter-in-law sitting on the ground wailing and howling, with her two grandsons standing aside. What was Xu Honglian up to now?
Her brows furrowed, and her gaze fell upon her youngest daughter-in-law clinging to the wall. He Meizhu, who had been frowning, immediately changed her expression upon seeing the woman.
He exclaimed "Oh dear!" and strode over.
"Jiaojiao, what happened to you? Why did you climb up the wall? Come down, come down! We shouldn't climb to such high places to play; it's dangerous up there."
As He Meizhu spoke, she walked forward, trying to call Lu Huaijiao down from the wall.
This completely ignored Xu Honglian's appearance, which made Xu Honglian so angry that her face twisted in anger.
(Or perhaps Lu Huaijiao's slingshot went astray?)
In short, Xu Honglian was furious! Her big yellow teeth were grinding together as she shouted loudly as He Meizhu passed by her, "Mother, is this how you show favoritism? Your youngest daughter-in-law beat your two grandsons like this and you don't care. Is your only concern your youngest daughter-in-law?"
"Does this mean you don't need us to take care of you in your old age anymore?"
Xu Honglian is amazing!
Now everyone's starting to talk about retirement.
Before He Meizhu could speak, Lu Huaijiao, who was leaning against the wall, had her eyes light up with joy.
"Second sister-in-law, are you telling the truth? You don't have any objections to Mom and Dad living with us from now on, right? If it's true, then I won't tell Mom today about your two sons trying to steal her things and calling her an old hag."
Lu Huaijiao said it in a 'naive and innocent' manner.
Xu Honglian's face turned pale instantly, and He Meizhu, who was walking towards Lu Huaijiao, also stopped in her tracks.
He turned around and looked at Xu Honglian's two grandsons.
"You came to steal things from my yard? Oh, so that's why you three would be here all of a sudden! You've come to steal things again!"
He Meizhu was no longer disappointed by Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan's actions.
Perhaps it was because she had no expectations of the two of them? So when she heard that they had come to steal things from this yard, He Meizhu could only sneer.
"Xu Honglian, you really have two fine sons. They're so young and already stealing things. Will they dare to steal from people when they're older?"
He Meizhu stared at Xu Honglian and questioned her.
Xu Honglian panicked for a moment, and seeing that her two sons' hands were empty, she loudly protested, "Who said my sons came to steal? Mother, don't believe her just because the fourth son's family is from the city. Look at your two grandsons, do they have any money in their hands?"
"If we really came to your yard to get something, would we stay here and wait for you to come back and arrest us? We're not that stupid, are we?"
Xu Honglian is quite clever; she knows how to apply what she's learned to other situations.
But what's the use?
Lu Huaijiao had heard the whole thing, so with her as the best witness, Xu Honglian couldn't defend herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
"Mom, wait for me."
As Lu Huaijiao spoke, she climbed down the ladder from the top of the wall. Suddenly, she pulled her head back, startling He Meizhu.
"Jiaojiao, slow down."
"I'm okay, Mom, I have a ladder."
Lu Huaijiao's sweet voice came through the wall, and soon she opened the small door and walked over.
"Mom, let me tell you, this is what happened..."
She vividly recounted to He Meizhu how the brothers Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan opened the window, their posture, and what they said, leaving no detail unsaid.
Lu Huaijiao is quite good at tattling.
She wouldn't deliberately protect Gu Jindan and his group.
Furthermore, her mother shouldn't have harbored any illusions about the evil intentions of the second wife's family. She should have recognized their true colors as soon as possible in order to stop the damage in time.
Xu Honglian listened from the side, constantly gritting her teeth.
"So it turns out you were just playing tricks on my two children."
She still has the nerve to criticize Lu Huaijiao? It seems she hasn't even realized what the problem really is.
Lu Huaijiao scoffed.
Ignore it!
Compared to Xu Honglian, that troublemaking shrew, she cared more about He Meizhu's feelings.
"Mom, don't be angry. It's their fault that they're not nice to you. My fourth brother and I are nice to Mom and Dad!"
Lu Huaijiao gently comforted He Meizhu.
He Meizhu hummed in agreement.
He turned around and looked at Xu Honglian, who was still sitting on the ground and unwilling to get up.
"Xu Honglian, you've repeatedly allowed children to steal from my house. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
