Chapter 144 The Old Lady's Short Story



The Tang sisters are five, each with one mouth—no, four mouths. But even if Tang Cuihong can't speak, she's still strong!

If anyone dares to make a move, she'll either throw them out or shove them in the butt, just like a door god, and nobody cares about her.

"Hey, Cuihua, where did you find such a reliable girl? She's quite strong! Why aren't you saying anything?"

These days, everyone likes a daughter who can do housework. When they saw that Cuihong was strong, everyone's eyes lit up. If they married her, wouldn't she be able to do the work of three people?

Cuihua could tell what these people were up to just by looking at them, so she spoke frankly.

"My sister's ears were damaged by a fever, and she can't speak anymore. She won't be looking for a partner anymore, so don't worry about her."

What? He's deaf? Does being deaf mean he can't speak?

Well, what a pity! He's deaf and mute. No matter how good-looking or how hard he works, we can't take him!

What if this problem is passed on to the next generation?

The old lady suddenly realized what was going on. She had thought the dark-skinned girl looked familiar, and now that she saw her face, she immediately grabbed Cuihua's arm and pointed at Cuihong, asking her a question.

"who is she?"

Cuihua had noticed earlier that she was staring at Cuihong. Well, she knew best what she looked like when she was a child.

She's not so old and her eyesight is failing yet; only those who know her well can recognize who Cuihong looks like.

The old lady recognized her, and Cuihong didn't beat around the bush, staring at her with a cold smile.

"Don't you know who she is? You can tell just by looking at her face. Don't worry, she's definitely my biological daughter."

These words struck the old woman like a thunderbolt: "She's deaf and mute, why did you bring her back?"

"What business is it of yours why I brought her home? Did I give you permission to raise her? Why are you being so nosy?"

"You little bunny girl, I'll slap you to death! How dare you talk to me like that? You think I'm being too nice to you?"

Cuihua had anticipated that her hand would be misbehaving, so when the hand came at her face, she stopped it in mid-air and then forcefully threw her backward.

With a disdainful look, she said, "How dare I ask you to give me face? I wouldn't dare! Who are you? The matriarch of the Tang family! Who would dare to go against you? Wouldn't they just starve? You love using this trick the most. Whoever offends you, you won't feed them. We were punished like this by you a lot when we were little. Are they still being punished like this now? Or are you only doing this to us sisters?"

"Big sister, is there even a question? This method can only be used on us. We're too busy nursing our babies to let anyone else go hungry!"

Cuiju had just finished arguing with her aunts and uncles when she came over and looked at them with a grin.

“It’s the Lunar New Year, so I advise you not to make things too ugly. If you wanted to come and see us, now that you’ve seen us, can you leave? My older sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister are all still not feeling well, so they probably don’t have time to entertain you.”

“You unfilial descendants will be punished. You will never be able to get married if you treat your elders like this.”

"Here we go again, old lady? You keep repeating the same few sentences. Aren't you tired? So what if you can't get married? We're the ones who are unfilial, but have you been filial to your mother-in-law? You even drove her to jump into a well. She was eventually rescued, but your reputation is ruined. So look at the kind of daughters-in-law you've found! They're all the same kind of people. No wonder your sons are all so filial. This is a case of the upper beam being crooked, so the lower beams will inevitably follow suit."

The sudden statement from the fifth sister, Cui Mei, shocked everyone, because none of them knew about the incident where she forced her mother-in-law to jump into the well.

She's only been back for a few days, how did she know?

The old lady was so angry at Cui Mei's words that she trembled like a leaf and bared her teeth as she lunged at Tang Cui Mei.

Cui Mei was not afraid at all, and continued to expose her shortcomings.

"Shut your filthy mouth! If you keep cursing me, I'll expose everything you did at your parents' house. If you don't want to be embarrassed, then go ahead and curse me!"

One sentence silenced the old lady instantly, but her heavy breathing clearly showed how angry she was.

Cui Mei retorted directly, "Get out of here with your people! Don't bother us again. Every time you come, I'll expose your shortcomings."

If you don't believe me, you can try it. The people who know about your forcing your mother-in-law to jump into the well are all from the older generation, right?

The younger generation probably doesn't know much, right? What a coincidence, I, an outsider, know you quite well!

"This matter, tsk tsk, I have at least ten or eight scandals about you!"

Once again, the old lady from the Tang family was driven out of Cuihua's house like a stray dog.

The onlookers, seeing that the old lady had left so easily, clearly felt guilty, and curiously crowded around to ask Cui Mei questions.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, do you really know your grandma's embarrassing stories? Tell us about them, and see if they match what we've heard?"

When all the village's aunts and uncles crowded around, Xiao Wu waved them off.

"I'm still simmering soup on the stove, so I'll stop talking to you guys now. You're busy, haha, you're busy,"

Cuihua said directly to them, "It's getting late, everyone should go home. What's there to say about this? As long as they don't cause us any trouble, who wants to get involved in this scandal? It's not something to be proud of. If you want to know, just go home and ask your elders."

After Cuihua closed the door, she immediately ran into the house, while the other sisters also looked on with gossip-filled expressions.

Cui Mei found it somewhat amusing when she saw the way her older sisters were acting.

"Big sister, you know, it's not surprising that I know these things."

Cuihua smiled and nodded at her. Facing the curious gazes of the second and third brothers, she coughed lightly.

“There used to be a woman from our Taoyuan Village who married out of the village in Laowu Village. It was said that whenever a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, they would bring out our grandmother to make a scene.”

Really? Cuiju looked doubtful, clearly not believing it. She could see clearly that her sister had also been very curious just now.

"Oh dear, why ask so many questions? Hey, Cui Mei, look how curious we are, why don't you tell us?"

If someone transmigrates into a book, they should be very clear about the entire story's plot, right? Even the fate of each character?

However, Cui Mei shook her head, "Forget it, hearing about this will only offend your ears. In short, your grandmother is no good."

Cuilian was both amused and exasperated. "Fifth Sister, that's your milk too."

“I don’t believe that old woman is my grandma. My grandma is not as disgusting as her.”

Seeing the disgust on Cui Mei's face, Cui Hua and the others immediately guessed that this old lady must have done something bad when she was young!

Come to think of it, how could such a vicious person be a kind one? Since she's not kind, it's not surprising that she does some outrageous things. Just look at the daughters-in-law she carefully selected; they're all more mean and materialistic than the last.
