Chapter 54 Drawing a Pie in the Sky for Mother-in-Law
Wu Caifeng had never said these things in front of outsiders.
Although saying these things would embarrass Xie Zhizhi, Wu Caifeng felt even more ashamed.
She is a decent person. When something happens, she always likes to reflect on herself. She always feels that the reason her family has such a daughter-in-law is because they, as elders, have not accumulated enough good karma.
But some people shouldn't bully others too much.
Xie Hongchao immediately objected to Wu Caifeng's words, asking, "Auntie, what are you saying?"
"What do you mean by 'we'll live in the house, and we'll pay for it'?"
"It's clearly because your son and daughter-in-law can't have children and want my son to support them in their old age that your daughter-in-law offered our house in the provincial capital to us so we could help take care of the children. That money went to raising the children too."
Wei Guihua also shouted, "That's right, it's like someone got the better deal!"
"It's clearly some people who benefited but are now acting innocent!"
Xie Lanlan also arrived, and at this point she also started to distort the truth: "That's right, I've never seen anyone so scheming. When she wanted to adopt my nephew, she tricked my brother and sister-in-law into going to the city to help take care of the child. Now that she doesn't want the child anymore, she just kicks them to the curb."
"That's not all, they also want all the money back."
"I've never seen anyone so shameless! They treat people like fools. When my nephew was being treated like a son, she was being filial to him. But when she needed the child to support her, she said she had money and a house and didn't need it anymore. Now she wouldn't let him live in the house, and he had to pay back all the money the child had spent!" Xie Lanlan said, clapping her hands as she spoke, her voice loud and clear, just like a shrew.
Wu Caifeng finally understood; her daughter-in-law had actually gone to ask for the money when she said she was going.
Wu Caifeng couldn't contain her joy.
"Pfft," she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Xie family members were furious when they saw her smile, especially Tian Fang, who jumped up from the ground and tried to tear Wu Caifeng apart, yelling, "I knew it was you, you old hag, who was behind this! You heartless rotten thing..."
Wu Caifeng dodged her outstretched hand and couldn't help but curse her again, "Only those who are heartless and rotten know. Sooner or later, they will be punished for doing too many bad things."
"You have the nerve to come to my house and cause trouble? Don't even mention coming to my house, even if you cause trouble at the government or file a complaint with the central government, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Only those who are wicked know this. This is your retribution. All your scheming has come to nothing. You can't outsmart fate. You deserve it!"
Wu Caifeng said it was retribution for Tian Fang. Tian Fang knew what immoral things she had done, and she felt guilty upon hearing the word "retribution."
Feeling guilty and angry, I choked on my breath, and somehow my eyelids rolled back, and I passed out.
Wu Caifeng was truly frightened when she saw it.
They're in-laws after all, it's really infuriating...
Before she could step forward, Aunt Zhou pulled her back, signaling that she didn't need to.
Aunt Zhou rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward. "Come on, let me see. I know how to treat this. Please make way and don't crowd around."
After she finished speaking, the Xie family relatives surrounding Tian Fang immediately dispersed, leaving only Xie Hongchao and a few others to support the unconscious Tian Fang.
Aunt Zhou's thick fingernails immediately lifted up.
Upon seeing this, Xie Lanlan immediately asked loudly, "What are you doing?"
"Your Zhou family has ruined my mother like this..."
Before she could even ask for compensation, Aunt Zhou shoved her aside and began to berate her, "How old are you? Don't you have any sense? Look at the state your mother is in! You're not even worried or upset, why are you getting in the way?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head and sighed as she spoke.
Immediately afterwards, the fingernail pinched Tian Fang's philtrum, and Tian Fang groaned in pain, and really woke up.
Aunt Zhou clapped her hands and said, "That's what happens when you have a bad temper. We had someone like that in our village before. If you ask me, you children should try to persuade him."
"As the elders get older, they become more confused. Are you young people following suit and being so ignorant?" Aunt Zhou said, shaking her head and sighing again.
Without saying much, he made everyone around him, whether relatives of the Zhou family or the Xie family, look at Xie Hongchao and his group with a critical eye.
The Zhou family's relatives even muttered, "That's right, he looks like he's over thirty, his kids should be quite grown up, why is he acting like a senile fool!"
"Tsk, the old folks just don't know how to educate their children. Have you forgotten about Zhou Lin's wife?" The man glanced at Wu Caifeng and fell silent.
Seeing the crowd's high spirits, and with Tian Fang still slightly groggy after waking up, Aunt Zhou said to Xie Hongchao, "Take her back to your mother quickly. She's getting on in years; she shouldn't be so hot-tempered. What if something unfortunate happens?" Aunt Zhou winked at Xie Hongchao, the implication being clear. "Don't you think so?"
Xie Hongchao wasn't worried about this at all, but Aunt Zhou's words were a way to save face.
The Zhou family had a lot of people helping them, but they didn't stand a chance, and continuing the stalemate would be pointless, so they had no choice but to take Tian Fang away first.
When Tian Fang first woke up, she was still dizzy and not quite able to react.
Once they had been helped away by the crowd, Tian Fang realized she should make a scene again, but Xie's relatives disapproved, saying, "Lanlan's mother, stop making a scene."
"That's right, the Zhou family isn't a small or insignificant family either. Look at all the relatives they have!"
"That's right, you're not in the right either!"
Someone spoke the truth, and others joined in, saying, "That's right, your family was supposed to give your grandson away, and now you're saying you won't give him back? What do you mean by that?"
“That’s right, we have to be reasonable no matter what!” With that, Xie’s relatives abandoned the mother and her children and left.
Without anyone to help her, Tian Fang had no choice but to head back, even if she was unwilling.
However, he cursed Xie Zhizhi and the Zhou family on the way.
After Tian Fang's outburst, Wu Caifeng realized that her daughter-in-law seemed to have really done something big.
Thinking about it, Wu Caifeng quickly found the number her son had given her and went to the brigade to call him.
When Xie Zhizhi called the military base, she realized that she had been there for several days but hadn't written a letter to her mother-in-law to let her know she was safe, and she hadn't returned the money she had borrowed from her mother-in-law when she came.
Xie Zhizhi: Male beauty has ruined me!
I quickly took out paper and pen to write a letter to my mother-in-law, mainly to remind her not to give in to her mother-in-law and not to let her mother-in-law get the better of her.
Then he would make grand promises to his mother-in-law, telling her, "Mom, I've found a way to make money in the city. Once I'm rich and a big boss, I'll bring you to the city to enjoy a life of luxury."
She also slipped a hundred yuan into the envelope, writing in the letter, "Mom, this hundred and fifty yuan is to repay the travel expenses you borrowed from me, and the other fifty is to buy you some meat. Take good care of yourself while you're home alone!"
Wu Caifeng called Zhou Lin and told him that Tian Fang had come to the Zhou family's house to cause trouble. "Zhizhi's mother came to make trouble, saying that you are holding onto Xie's child, isn't that right?"
Zhou Lin told her, "Didn't I give them all my allowances before? Zhizhi wants them back, saying she'll pay if she wants the child."
"They made a scene because they didn't want to give it to us."
"How are you? Did any of the Xie family members hurt you?"
