Xu Qinghe rode his bike and slowly left with Qin Huixin. This scene was seen by many villagers. Especially when they saw the backpack full of "treasures", many people felt a little sad.
The gossips in the village took the opportunity to gather together and gossip about Xie Di, saying that Xu Qinghe would rather help those poor relatives who were not related to her at all than be filial to her in-laws. This made Xie Di furious, and without saying a word, she went straight to find Old Lady Yin to complain.
Xu Qinghe had just sent Qin Huixin home when he unexpectedly ran into Old Lady Yin, Xie Di and Su Qifen. The three of them were carrying their hands full of goodies they had looted from her house and were about to leave.
Zhu Yunxiu was leaning on a crutch, extremely anxious but helpless. She could only mutter to herself that she would wait for Xiaoyue to come back and solve the problem. However, she was met with cold sarcasm from Xie Di.
On the side, two little local dogs were running around in a panic, barking and trying to protect their owner, but they were too small. Besides adding to the chaos, they would occasionally be kicked and beaten innocently, looking particularly pitiful.
"How shameless! What old lady would marry her granddaughter and become a servant? These are all from the Yin family. Why are you, an old fool, stopping us from taking them?"
This sentence pierced Zhu Yunxiu's heart and also deeply touched Xu Qinghe's pain point.
She quickly parked the car, ran over, grabbed Xie Di's hair, and slapped her loudly, leaving Old Lady Yin and Su Qifen stunned.
"Oh my God, our family is such a well-known figure in the village, and yet we have to have a daughter-in-law like my eldest sister-in-law. She has no sense of propriety and is always gossiping. Isn't this clearly going to bring down our entire family's reputation? If this affects Yin Yunjie's job in the city, who will support my parents in their later years? What a gossipy woman with no sense of importance and no conscience!"
As soon as Xu Qinghe met Old Lady Yin, he skillfully turned the topic to Yin Yunjie's job stability and his parents' retirement. The old lady cared most about her own interests, and this trick always hit her soft spot.
Old Lady Yin had intended to scold Xu Qinghe for being ignorant, but unexpectedly she was left speechless by the other party's well-organized speech. For a moment, she could only stare at Xie Di with wide eyes, thinking of a countermeasure in her mind but not knowing where to start.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghe quickly took back the items they had taken and continued to persuade them gently, "Mom, think about it. If this kind of thing gets out, won't our family become the laughing stock of the village? The good reputation you and Dad have worked so hard to build has been ruined by this incident by your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law has never seen the world, and your brother is a simple man. How can they compare to your shrewd vision? If she does anything stupid in the future, you must keep a close eye on her and don't let her lead our family in mischief."
Old Lady Yin had originally come to support Xie Di, but now Xu Qinghe's words made her feel as if she had become the unreasonable party.
After all, family disgrace should not be made public, especially when Xu Qinghe's reputation in the village is growing. If she really makes a big fuss over a trivial matter, her husband will definitely be angry with her.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Yin gradually calmed down, glared at Xie Di fiercely, and secretly thought about how to teach Xie Di a lesson in private.
This eldest daughter-in-law is really getting more and more unreasonable, always trying to drag her into the water! Xie Di noticed the change in her mother-in-law's eyes and realized that she had been tricked by Xu Qinghe again. The frustration in her heart surged like a tide.
She was obviously jealous of the good things Xu Qinghe gave away, and it was she who came up with the idea first. How come all the responsibility fell on her just with a few words from Xu Qinghe!
"Mom! Have you forgotten that she's an ungrateful person? She doesn't give good things to her parents-in-law, but instead gives them to those poor relatives who are not even remotely related to her. It's obvious that she doesn't consider us family!"
Xie Di was afraid that Mrs. Yin's position would waver, so she quickly stepped up her efforts and tried to win back her mother-in-law's support.
However, Xu Qinghe didn't give her a chance to interrupt, and spoke first, "Ever since you started opposing me, I've never truly accepted you as a family member. You should know this clearly, so why bother to embarrass yourself by saying it? My parents and my second brother and his wife are naturally different to me. I naturally treat them as my closest relatives."
Old Lady Yin seized the opportunity and asked, "Then tell me, why do you give away good things without considering honoring your parents-in-law?"
"Oh, Mom, your words really chill me to the bone. The pension that Yin Yunjie and I give you on time every month is not filial piety? You have money in your hands, you can buy whatever you want to eat, how free you are! As for the things I gave to my cousin, they are actually some that are about to expire or have already passed their shelf life. Eating them is not good for your health. It is because I treat my parents as my own family that I am reluctant to give them to you. My parents are old, and it is better for them to spend their own money to buy fresh and delicious food than to eat expired food that is harmful to their health, right? If something happens to them after eating them, who can bear the responsibility? Sister-in-law, can you?"
As Xu Qinghe spoke, he glanced at Xie Di coldly.
When it comes to sowing discord, Xie Di is too naive in front of Xu Qinghe.
Su Qifen was dumbfounded when she saw Xu Qinghe turn the situation around with such ease. No wonder she could never beat her. Her verbal skills were truly amazing!
"Don't talk nonsense here! You said it's expired, so it's expired? Who would be stupid enough to buy expired things?"
Xie Di felt that since she had come here, she could not return empty-handed, and she had to give Xu Qinghe a good beating.
"We usually eat these things that are about to expire or have already expired. After all, making money is not easy. I am still young, so eating some expired food is no big deal. But my parents are old, how can I let them eat these things that are bad for their health? After all, I am not as cruel as my sister-in-law who disregards the health of the elderly."
"Yin Yunjie wrote to me saying that he hasn't had many missions lately, so his allowance has naturally decreased. He only sent me fifteen yuan this month. After giving money to my parents for their retirement, I only have five yuan left. I have to rely on this five yuan with my grandmother, so how can I not be frugal?"
Xu Qinghe pretended to be aggrieved, her eyes full of helplessness, which almost moved Old Lady Yin to feel pity and want to ask for subsidies. Fortunately, she came to her senses in time and remembered that Yin Yunjie was not her biological son, and the daughter-in-law in front of her was not her biological son either, so she could not give subsidies for nothing.
So, Old Lady Yin hid behind Xie Di's generosity.
Xie Di was so angry that she was jumping up and down. Her mother-in-law was usually competitive, but why did she become like a deflated ball when she met Xu Qinghe? Her eyes flashed with determination, and she retorted unyieldingly: "Even if those foods are expired, they still retain their original nutritional value and are not harmful to the body.
