Xie Yujiao was determined to beat her face badly, to teach her a lesson she would never forget!
She married a cripple and still dares to defy her? She's a scholar's wife, and her husband is the most promising man in the Xiao family!
That cripple Xiao Yi and that wretched girl Xie Yushu should just obediently serve her! They're ungrateful bastards! How dare they challenge her! They've gone too far!
Xie Yujiao's eyes lit up with excitement at the thought of Xie Yushu begging for mercy with her face covered in graffiti. She slapped Xie Yushu hard across the face, intending to scratch her after the slap to avenge yesterday's humiliation!
Xie Yushu was not flustered when she saw Xie Yujiao's malicious gaze. She moved her feet easily and dodged to Xie Yujiao's side, kicking her in the hip and sending Xie Yujiao flying two meters away.
Xie Yujiao had already used all her strength to slap Xie Yushu, but unexpectedly she was kicked away by Xie Yushu. The force of the slap landed directly on the ground, and she was also scratched hard. Four of her five fingernails broke at the same time, and she almost simultaneously let out a "howl"!
"Ah! My hand! My hand!"
Xie Yujiao hugged her arms and clutched her waist, unsure of which side to focus on!
"Big sister!"
"Yu Shu!"
The Xie family members thought Xie Yushu was going to be slapped, and they all screamed in fright, but it turned out to be a false alarm!
"It's so good to know some kung fu for protection! Why didn't we stay at Grandpa's for a while longer?" Xie Tianqi said enviously to Xie Tianlin.
"Fourth brother's wife, what are you doing! Don't you act like a proper sister-in-law!"
Old Man Xiao shouted at this.
"What are you saying, Father? Didn't you see she hit me first? A brother's wife hitting his sister-in-law? Fourth brother, you have such good upbringing!"
"You and your fourth brother's wife are wrong, but as her sister-in-law, can't you be a little more accommodating?"
"No! The proper order of ruler and subject, father and son, elder and junior, how can we disrupt this order! If I let her ride roughshod over me, wouldn't people laugh at my fourth brother's family for having no manners! Or should we say that from now on, our Xiao family doesn't need to follow the rules, and anyone can hit whomever they want? If that's the case, that would be great! I also really want to hit whoever I don't like!"
How could Old Man Xiao dare to agree to this? He could only laugh awkwardly.
"Of course not! She's in the wrong. Go back and have your mother talk to her. If you two fight here, won't people laugh at you?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her, Father. I'm someone who doesn't like to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either!"
"Yes, I'm watching her! Fourth brother's wife, there aren't many of you, how can you eat all this meat? I think, even if you give half to your fourth brother, it will be enough for you. Give half of your piece of pork to your fourth brother's wife, just for the sake of your mother and me!"
Old Man Xiao slowly and deliberately put pressure on Xie Yushu, thinking that once he spoke up, Xie Yushu would be too embarrassed not to agree, so she called for her fourth son's wife.
"Quickly apologize to your second sister-in-law! Do you think she can ignore what you've done?"
"Dad, my hand is injured! My back hurts terribly too. She hit me, and you still want me to apologize? I've never been treated like this at home. So coming to your Xiao family is all I'm supposed to do! I won't apologize! If she hit me, then she should compensate me!"
"Ha! Dream on!"
"you,"
Old Man Xiao glared angrily, cursing Xie Yujiao in his heart for being so tactless, wondering how his fourth son could marry such a thing!
“Father, it is only right for Xiao Yi and me to be filial to you and Mother, but there is no law that says we have to support our brother-in-law’s family. Besides, our brother-in-law’s family doesn’t respect us at all!”
If you feel sorry for him, give them your share. We don't have any extra people to raise like this!
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, she ignored Old Man Xiao's sighs and Xie Yujiao's shouts, and started eating the barbecue with the Xie family.
"Sis, keep your piece for your brother-in-law to take back tomorrow! We'll eat ours, ours is bigger!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Come on, have this big one!" Xie Baoshu said repeatedly.
"No need, Second Uncle. We have a lot of people in our family. Take the rest back with you. I plan to discuss with the Liu family later that we should hunt some game for you to take back at dawn tomorrow. Eat well, drink well, and rest well today so you can travel well tomorrow!"
"That's good! The family is almost at its breaking point! When we came, your grandma and the others were only drinking a bowl of thin tree leaf porridge a day! I'll go hunting with you tomorrow!"
After discussing it, the family decided to focus on eating. Xie Yujiao chose a piece of pork rib, which smelled deliciously browned. Even though she was very hungry, she still ate it slowly and carefully, afraid that if she ate too fast, her stomach wouldn't be able to handle it.
The Xie family elders ate much more lavishly. They had already eaten some pig liver and other things to tide them over, and now they could finally eat to their hearts' content, their mouths greasy with oil!
Although there weren't many seasonings, the half-grown wild boar was neither dry nor tender, with an excellent texture, and roasted to a golden and crispy perfection.
Even if you eat it like this, it's a rare delicacy for someone who has been eating bitter vegetable leaves and withered tree bark all year round!
Xie Yushu put down her food after eating until she was about 70-80% full. Seeing that the others were still enjoying their food, she finally spoke up to remind them.
"We've been hungry for too long, we can't eat too much at once, otherwise our stomachs definitely won't be able to handle it! That's enough, we'll eat again tomorrow!"
Xie Tianqi and the younger children were reluctant to let go, Xie Baotian said.
"Your eldest sister is right. The family is still waiting for us to bring back food and water to keep them alive! Don't overeat and get sick, which will delay our journey!"
Xie Baotian spoke, and even though they were reluctant, they all put down the meat in their hands.
"Alright, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's get some rest! We need to be well-rested to face tomorrow's challenges!"
"You guys go to sleep first. Your second uncle and I will keep watch. After all, we're in the wild, and there are still so many herds of beasts out there! Who knows if those guys will come over after dark!"
"Father, you and Second Uncle are getting old, and Eldest Brother, Tianming, and Tianqi are injured. You should go to sleep. I just slept for a while, but I can't sleep now. I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll wake you up for the second half!"
"Sister, I'm fine. I'll stay with you and keep watch!" Xie Tianqi said.
"No need. The Liu family will definitely need to keep watch at night. You go to sleep and come back to relieve me when you're well-rested!"
Seeing that Xie Yushu insisted, Xie Tianqi also went to sleep!
Not far away, the Xiao family members were all asleep! Perhaps worried about Xie Yushu, they had left Li Shi to keep watch. Seeing that Xie Yushu was also keeping watch, Li Shi came over to join her.
Second sister-in-law
"Sister-in-law"
I'll come with you.
"Um"
"Xie Yujiao tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. She wanted to get more, but she ended up getting less than Tianqi suggested. She's planning to go back and complain to her mother-in-law about you! Be prepared!"
"Let her go!"
"My father-in-law is also very angry!"
"Let him do as he pleases!"
"Sigh! Although it may feel good for you to go against them now, they are still Xiao Yi's parents. You've only just gotten married and don't understand. They are still his parents, even if they are biased. Aren't you afraid that your second son will become estranged from you?"
"Ha! Sister-in-law, do you think I'm going against them? I think I'm just protecting myself!"
Anyone can slap me in the face and steal my things.
If I can't even guarantee my own personal safety and property security, why should I care about my sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law?
