After leaving in a hurry, Grandma Xiao first went to Ma's house, who was known as the village's know-it-all. She found out that Xie Tianlin's father-in-law was Liu Qiaomei, the second daughter of Liu Laosan from Liu Family Village. Then she went straight to Liu Qiaomei's house!
Liu Laosan went out to gather firewood, while Qiaomei was inside doing needlework with her mother!
Hearing someone calling from outside, Qiaomei's mother put down her needlework and went out to see what was going on. Seeing an unfamiliar old woman, she asked...
"This older lady looks unfamiliar!"
Old Mrs. Xiao said familiarly
"Sister Liu! I'm from Phoenix Mouth, from the Xiao family. My son is Xiao Yuanhang, the only scholar in the surrounding area!"
After hearing what Old Mrs. Xiao said, Qiaomei's mother understood what was going on, but since she had never had any contact with her, she asked...
"What brings you here, older sister?"
"Oh! It's nothing serious. Look how far I've come, let's go inside and talk!"
After hearing what Old Mrs. Xiao said, Qiaomei's mother felt embarrassed not to let her into the house, so she led her inside.
"Oh! This must be Qiaomei! She's so pretty! She's doing needlework! Her hands are so skillful!"
As soon as Grandma Xiao entered the house, she showered everyone with praise.
Liu Qiaomei didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Grandma Xiao continued
"This child is so quiet, not saying much. You've done a great job raising him, sister!"
"Oh! What a pity!"
"What do you mean by that, older sister?"
Qiaomei's mother, displeased by Old Madam Xiao's sarcastic remarks, asked...
"Alas! I heard that such a wonderful daughter of yours was betrothed to the Xie family. What a pity!"
I know the Xie family; their family values are questionable!
Those kids are all ill-mannered. I'll tell you the truth, Xie Yushu, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, is your daughter's sister-in-law. She was originally married into our family. Oh, don't even mention it. She's so ill-mannered, wild, and has a bad temper. She's extravagant and doesn't know how to manage a household!
He was still immature and disrespectful to his elders. He would hit my daughter and my fourth son's wife without warning, just like a bandit. I really didn't think he was a good person to live with. I divorced him after the first two months!
"Those people, I'm telling you, you absolutely must not get involved with them!"
"Ma'am, please stop talking!"
I know everything about Sister Yu Shu, but what I heard is not what you said!
I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned it. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your family favors your scholar son.
I heard that you have repeatedly asked Sister Yu Shu for money in order to pay for your son's education.
I also heard that you occupied Yu Shu's house for your daughter's marriage?
He even abandoned his own granddaughter for money.
The things your family has done are unheard of, not only in the surrounding villages, but also within a hundred miles!
How dare you criticize others!
"The reason you divorced Yu Shu is because your son Xiao Yi ran away secretly, making a divorce impossible. Did you really think your Xiao family was some kind of 'golden goose'? Who would want to be your daughter-in-law!"
When Qiaomei heard that she had come to disrupt things, she was so angry that she immediately retorted. Her words were quick, clear, and forceful, leaving Old Madam Xiao speechless with anger.
"You, you little brat, you don't know what's good for you! I came here with the best of intentions to warn you, afraid you'd be fooled. You've taken my kindness for granted. You deserve your bad luck. Just wait to be bullied by that slut after you marry him!"
"If you came to our house just to talk about this, then you can leave. You're not welcome here!"
Qiaomei's mother also gave them the order to leave!
Seeing that she hadn't managed to cause any trouble, Old Mrs. Xiao dusted herself off and left. As she exited the Liu family's gate, she didn't forget to shout loudly as soon as she saw people.
"Liu Laosan is really a scoundrel!"
Selling your daughter for two dirty bucks!
The Xie family doesn't even care that their old daughter has been divorced and sent home!
People get greedy when they see money!
Tsk tsk! Birds of a feather flock together; don't marry into a family with bad luck and get sent back home in no time!
Upon hearing this, Qiaomei angrily chased after him and began to yell at him.
"Your family is the one with bad luck! Your whole family is cursed with bad luck! If Yu Shu hadn't gotten involved with your family, she wouldn't be so unlucky!"
"Qiaomei, come back quickly! What kind of behavior is this, a grown woman cursing in the street!"
Qiaomei's mother quickly pulled Qiaomei back.
Qiaomei felt slightly uneasy.
"Mother, you don't believe what that old witch said, do you?!"
You know best what kind of person Tianlin is. He's the best person imaginable. Moreover, not only did Sister Yushu arrange for her two brothers to work in the government, but she also provided Tianlin with six acres of land at home and taught Uncle Xie and the others how to make candied hawthorns. You can't find such a good girl anywhere else in the surrounding villages. If it weren't for that unlucky guy Xiao Yi, she wouldn't have ended up being divorced!
And she was very nice to me; she gave me several gifts on our first meeting!
Look at this cloth and this rouge, they're all the best things from the city!
They didn't see that I was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, so they tried to fob me off with ordinary things!
"You! You're not even married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders!"
Your father and I know exactly what's going on! Xie Baotian is a well-known honest man, and the children he raises can't be bad!
Your marriage will not change!
Qiaomei was relieved and went to make clothes in peace.
When one plan failed, Old Lady Xiao came up with another. After leaving Liu Family Village, she headed straight for Xie Family Village!
Upon arriving at Xiejia Village, they found a crowded place to sit down and recounted in detail how Xie Yushu was inhumane in the Xiao family, beating her sister-in-law, scolding her sister-in-law, and never being home, acting like a wife!
Too lazy to cook, she orders Haitang around; she's ruthless and cruel!
