These vicious words are completely unlike what a mother-in-law would say.
Wang Ting was furious! Was she infertile? They found out she was pregnant in the fifth month of their marriage, when their family situation wasn't so dire. The couple naively thought that their in-laws would treat them better once they found out she was pregnant.
And what happened? Their treatment remained unchanged. Only then did she realize that her parents were not well-regarded, and their children were still from the lower class.
But that's okay, as long as grandparents don't love them, that's fine.
Even such a simple wish could not be fulfilled; her child was killed when the son of the second wife of the Chen family pushed her.
The one who did it was a child, a precious child protected by the whole family. She didn't even have a chance to get revenge, and now she's being called a barren hen.
"Bullshit! My daughter isn't a barren hen; it's my granddaughter who didn't want to be born into a heartless family like yours."
Aunt Cuiying didn't just curse; she went straight for the sword, slapping Chen's mother across the face.
"You old hag, you mistreated my daughter and son-in-law, causing her to miscarry, and now you dare to steal my daughter's dowry. I think you really don't respect the Wang family."
As soon as Aunt Cuiying stepped forward, the village chief's wife followed with several wives and servants. The other members of the Chen family wanted to stop them, but the commotion left them no chance to intervene.
"What do you mean by stealing her dowry? She's a member of the Chen family now, so her things naturally belong to the Chen family. If I want them, I have to give them to her!"
Chen's mother was accidentally slapped twice by Aunt Cuiying, and her anger flared up. She blurted out her thoughts without thinking.
Chen Laoshi had just reached the door when he heard these words. Always concerned about his reputation, his anger flared up. "Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Although he didn't interfere in the matter of snatching the bride price, the matter couldn't have been accomplished without his consent.
He shared the same idea as his wife: once something entered the Chen family, whether it was an object or a person, they had to obey his orders.
But it's one thing to talk about this behind closed doors, but quite another to say it in front of so many people.
Besides, didn't you see how many people from the Wang family came? Talking like that is just making the Chen family look unreasonable.
After stopping Chen's mother, Chen Laoshi forced an ugly smile and said to Wang Ting's father, "Father-in-law, you all know my wife. She doesn't have any bad intentions, but she just has a sharp tongue."
Gu An'an was almost amused by the old man. "No bad intentions? If you have no bad intentions, why would you steal someone's dowry? If you really had bad intentions, wouldn't you have killed and set fires? In that case, the Chen family's neighbors should be careful, lest they get retaliated against if they have a quarrel with the Chen family."
Gu An'an's voice was clear and crisp, enough for everyone who had gathered to watch the spectacle to hear.
When Chen Laoshi saw that the girl was too beautiful, he couldn't recall that there was such a beautiful girl in Wangjia Village. However, no matter how beautiful she was, she was useless if she couldn't speak properly.
“When I’m talking to my in-laws, you’re just a child and don’t understand, so please say less.”
He actually wanted to shut the person up, but since he couldn't figure out who they were, he ultimately held back.
But he didn't know what Gu An'an meant to the people of Wangjia Village. Just as he was about to continue trying to mediate, all the people from Wangjia Village became furious.
"How can you talk like that, old man? What word did Gu Zhiqing mispronounce? Your Chen family is a den of dragons and tigers. If it weren't for the fact that Brother Chen Jun is a good person, would your uncle and aunt have allowed Sister Ting to marry into your family and suffer like this?"
"Exactly! Everyone knows that your whole family of lazybones live off Chen Jun's meager work points. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also have the nerve to steal your daughter-in-law's dowry. It's laughable."
"Did everyone hear that? The daughter-in-law's dowry all belongs to the Chen family. They can do whatever they want with her. Girls of marriageable age with Chen Laosan should be careful and not jump into this fire pit."
“People of Chen Jinbao’s age should also be careful. Make sure your children stay away from his house. Who knows what kind of unscrupulous things his family might do.”
...
The people from the Wang family were all incredibly sharp-tongued, and they instantly ripped off the Chen family's dignity, leaving Chen Laoshi's face turning pale and then red with anger.
He knew the Wang family was deliberately looking for trouble, so he could only look at Chen Jun and say, "Boss, are you just going to watch your mother get beaten? Watch my Chen family be insulted by them?"
How did Chen Jun feel? He felt heartbroken.
His heart sank the moment his mother uttered those words. His mother said that anything that entered the Chen family belonged to the Chen family, but she didn't treat his second brother's wife the same way. She even stole his wife's dowry to give to his second wife and his third brother.
Thinking of this, he stared intently at his father, "Dad, have you ever treated me like a son?"
His eyes were filled with such intense emotion that Chen Laoshi looked away awkwardly as soon as they met. "What are you saying? Without us, you wouldn't exist! We may treat your brothers better, but you're still my son, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jun interrupted him, "Don't explain."
He didn't want to hear it.
Sister-in-law Cuiying dealt with Chen's mother, while the other women dealt with Chen's second son and his wife. The situation was self-evident.
After his wife had finished beating, Wang Ting's father said, "Thank you all for your help today. Please move my daughter's dowry back to the young couple's room."
When everyone attacked together, the Chen family members were no match for them. Wang Ting led the way and rushed into Wang Lao Er's room, saying to a sewing machine and a radio, "These two are mine, and this table is also from our room."
No sooner had she finished speaking than people came forward to move things, which infuriated Wang Lao Er and his wife. "You're talking nonsense! These things are all ours!"
