The more Old Lady Lu thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped hard on a weed, her triangular eyes blazing with intense hatred.
She ground her back teeth, making a sinister grinding sound.
Yunping, that little bitch, I'll teach her a lesson later.
"Oh, I understand, I'll take care of it." Li Xiufang instantly understood what Grandma Lu meant, ran a little further away and grabbed a middle-aged woman who happened to be passing by.
“Everyone, please be the judge and seek justice for my mother-in-law. Do you know how wicked Yunping is? She stews meat at home every day, eats it all by herself, and hides it from my mother-in-law. Half the village has smelled it, but my mother-in-law and I are the only ones who know now.”
"I haven't seen her give my mother-in-law a single bite to eat. This kind of heartless, unfilial, black-hearted scumbag doesn't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. There's no such unfilial daughter-in-law in Lu Family Village. Don't you think she's awful?"
"My poor mother-in-law hasn't been able to eat a single piece of meat lately, she's lost a lot of weight, and almost got seriously ill. The doctor said she needs to eat two ounces of meat every day to recover. Waaah—"
Li Xiufang started out speaking with righteous indignation, but then she burst into tears, as if she had lost her parents.
Her loud voice quickly drew out the neighbors from several houses next door, and passersby from a distance also came running over to see what was going on.
"Everyone, please help us! That wicked daughter-in-law Yunping has locked the door and won't let my mother-in-law in. Not only is she not giving her meat, but she also won't let her in. She's utterly heartless!"
"Sigh, let's go back! Don't be annoying. This isn't the first time my second daughter-in-law has done this. She always complains that I'm unhygienic and uncultured."
Grandma Lu pulled Li Xiufang as if to go back.
"Mother, this is not your fault! You can't leave. We must get justice. While the neighbors are all here, we won't let Yunping bully you. Humph! A daughter-in-law who dares to dislike her mother-in-law, no wonder Yunping's parents died young. They were probably angered to death by her."
Li Xiufang opened her mouth wide, spitting out saliva that sprayed all over Old Lady Lu's face.
If it weren't for acting, she would definitely punch Li Xiufang a few times.
The performance by the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law moved most of the audience. Even those who knew their true character were still swayed by their charm.
“Yunping really went too far this time. As a daughter-in-law, eating all the food by herself would have been beaten to death decades ago. No wonder I’ve been smelling meat these past few days, I never imagined it was her family stewing meat. Not letting her mother-in-law have a few bites of meat is really not right of her.”
"Exactly! No matter how big the world is, the mother-in-law is the most important. How can a daughter-in-law steal a bite of stewed meat and not give a single bite to her mother-in-law? If I had a daughter-in-law like that, I'd rather jump into the river and die."
These words sounded sarcastic and were clearly spoken by a middle-aged woman who had just become a mother-in-law after marrying a daughter-in-law.
"This is Yunping's fault. Everyone, please help to teach her a lesson later. She needs to be taught a lesson. What if other daughters-in-law follow suit?"
"Yes, yes! We must teach Yunping a lesson today. We must help Old Lady Lu,"
Several middle-aged women chattered away, their voices as loud as thunder, spitting as they spoke.
"You all love to meddle in other people's business. Yunping has separated from the family. If she wants to cook meat, she can eat it herself. Whether or not to give her meat is up to her. Besides, Lu Lao Er is giving her retirement money. Why would she need meat? That's ridiculous."
"Exactly! You're all so angry, as if you're the victims. Does the law say that meat must be shared with the mother-in-law? No, it doesn't! Forget about giving meat, the law also stipulates that daughters-in-law don't have to support their husbands' parents. If you're so capable, go and make a scene in court!"
"Do you have any evidence that Yunping's family is stewing meat? Did you see it or eat it? The aroma of meat can't waft from other houses, can it? Yunping's family is so poor, how could they possibly eat meat every day?"
Several young people at the scene remained clear-headed and were not fooled by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Grandma Lu and Li Xiufang.
