Chapter 57 Returning the Things

Asking everyone to store food is not to frame everyone. When a famine really comes, everyone will naturally thank her! This way she will have a say in the village!

By then, she could find a job in the town with the help of her connections in the village, and she wouldn't have to work hard in the fields anymore, so that she could be a better match for Su Lao San. By then, Su Lao San would definitely treat her better than the woman in the book!

Thinking of this, Xia He couldn't help but laugh twice. Before she finished laughing, she saw the Xia family coming in with great momentum!

The Xia family saw Xia He's figure from afar, and the eldest and second sisters-in-law Xia rushed forward like two hungry wolves.

The two men put their hands on their hips and questioned Xia He angrily: "Xia He, Xia He, tell me the truth. Did you secretly take things from home? You even dared to use all the things from your mother's family to support your husband's family. Do you still have any conscience? Your parents treat you well on weekdays. Is this how you repay them?"

The aunties in Xiaosu Village were gathered together to chat about family matters, when they suddenly saw the Xia family walking towards Xia He's house from the village entrance with an arrogant and proud look.

These ladies immediately perked up and followed behind enthusiastically, like cats smelling fish.

Old Lady Xia was walking in the front. She turned her head and saw a large group of people following behind her. She couldn't help but feel a little angry. She glared at the ladies fiercely, trying to warn them with her eyes not to meddle in other people's business.

However, these aunties seemed to have not noticed Mrs. Xia's look at all. They continued to follow closely, laughing and talking, with no intention of leaving at all.

The Xia family was very angry when they saw this, but they could do nothing. After all, they were known in the village for being thick-skinned and shameless, and they were used to being criticized by others.

Therefore, they simply ignored the aunties who came to join in the fun and just let them follow. Anyway, as long as they could get something good from Xia He, they didn't care about other things!

When they arrived at Xia He's house, the two sisters-in-law of the Xia family shouted at Xia He without any hesitation. The aunties who were watching the fun stood in a circle beside them, watching the show with great interest.

When they heard the accusations made by the eldest and second sister-in-law Xia towards Xia He, some of the aunties could not help themselves and burst out laughing.

The laughter spread quickly among the crowd, attracting more ladies to join in the laughter. For a moment, the whole scene became extremely noisy, as if a farce was being performed.

Haha, I'm dying of laughter! Who in this village doesn't know this? Xia He is a famous "mother's home picker"!

Whenever there is anything good in her husband's family, she will find ways to bring it back to her own family.

Despite such behavior, her sister-in-law still has the nerve to say such things without any shame. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by others?

However, even though the ladies laughed, not one of them was willing to stand up and say a fair word on Xia He's behalf.

The most important reason is that this Xia He is really not worthy of everyone's help!

Thinking back to the past, Xia He had conflicts and arguments with other people before. At that time, everyone was kind-hearted and spoke a few words to help her out.

As a result, not only did the other party not appreciate the help at all, but they also started to blame the person who helped them, accusing them of meddling in other people's affairs and worrying about nothing.

After such incidents happened more and more, people gradually saw clearly what kind of attitude Xia He had towards life. As time went by, there were no more people in the village who were willing to speak up for Xia He!

At this moment, Xia He witnessed with her own eyes a scene where no one was willing to speak for her, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.

Alas... the original owner had such a bad temper!

She actually managed to offend everyone in the village, to the point where she is now isolated and helpless, with no one willing to stand up and speak for her!

After hearing what the two sisters-in-law said, Xia He smiled with disdain. She pursed her red lips and said sarcastically, "Oh, what the two sisters-in-law said is really confusing! Why can't I understand? Is it because I haven't been back to my parents' home these few days and haven't brought anything back to the Xia family that the two sisters-in-law are so dissatisfied?"

At this point, Xia He frowned slightly, sighed softly, and continued to explain: "Alas, it's not that I don't want to go back to visit my parents and brothers. It's just that I haven't been feeling well these two days. I've been dizzy and weak all day long. It's even difficult for me to get up. How can I drag my sick body back to my parents' home? I thought my sisters-in-law would come to visit me when they heard that I was sick, so that I could warm my heart. Who would have thought..."

As she spoke, Xia He's eyes fell on the empty hands of her two sisters-in-law. Suddenly, as if she realized something, she waved her hands and said in a panic, "Oh, sisters-in-law, please don't blame me. I just spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing! I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. Why would I ask you for something to replenish my body? Don't misunderstand me!"

However, Xia He's words made the two sisters-in-law even angrier. They looked at each other with anger on their faces.

One of them even stepped forward, pointed at Xia He's nose and said loudly: "Stop pretending here! Who told you that you were sick? We are clearly talking about you taking things from home! Where did you hide those things? Hurry up and hand them over honestly! Think about it carefully. If it weren't for your natal family supporting you, would you have such a stable life in your husband's family? Now you actually do such a sneaky thing, it's simply ungrateful! Hurry up and take it out, otherwise your parents will be angry and we can't stop it!"

As the two sisters-in-law of the Xia family finished speaking, the faces of the old man and the old lady of the Xia family suddenly darkened, as if they were shrouded by dark clouds. Their expressions clearly showed that they thought what sister-in-law Xia He said was very true.

At this time, the old lady of the Xia family had a stern face, stared at Xia He with a sharp gaze, and said in a stern tone: "Xia He, your sister-in-law is absolutely right! When did you learn such despicable tricks? Hand over the things to me quickly! This time, for the sake of our family, I will forgive you this time.
