More and more people were gathering around.
Zhu Cuilan and Zhu Xilan then stopped, released Zhaodi and Bao'er, and went forward to take away the two bowls of shepherd's purse dumplings.
Even so, not satisfied, he kicked over all the tables and chairs.
Seeing that Zhao Di hadn't returned after so long, Liu Yingying got up and prepared to go to Grandma Zhang's house to see what was going on.
Just then, Lin Cuicui suddenly ran over, panting; "Aunt Liu... Aunt Liu, please go to Grandma Zhang's house quickly..."
"What happened?" Liu Yingying's brow twitched twice upon hearing this.
"Zhao Di and the others were beaten by their aunts, Cui Lan and Xi Lan..."
"What?"
Liu Yingying jumped up and rushed to Grandma Zhang's house as fast as she could, and heard crying coming from the yard from afar.
The Zhu Cuilan sisters and the villagers who had been watching had already left.
Only Grandma Zhang, still unconscious, and Bao'er, who was terrified, remained in the courtyard.
Zhao Di slumped down beside Grandma Zhang, her hair disheveled, looking utterly helpless and flustered...
Liu Yingying ran into the courtyard, but stopped abruptly when she saw the scene before her. An unnamed rage surged within her, and the flames grew stronger!
After taking Grandma Zhang's pulse and quietly giving her a nitroglycerin pill, and confirming that the elderly woman was alright, they finally had time to comfort the two children.
"Alright, stop crying, tell me what happened?"
Upon seeing her arrive, the two children seemed to have found a support, stopping their tears but still looking aggrieved.
Zhao Di sobbed as she recounted what had happened, and then asked her indignantly, "Why! Liu Niang, how could my aunts and the others bear to lay a hand on an old woman like Grandma Zhang?"
After listening, Liu Yingying didn't say anything, but Zhao Di seemed to see two blazing flames of anger in her eyes, baring their teeth and claws as if they were about to devour someone!
After a moment of silence, Liu Yingying finally spoke, "You stay here and take care of Grandma Zhang and Bao'er. I'm going to the old house."
"Ah...Liu Niang...what are you doing?"
Zhao Di was taken aback. She naturally knew what Liu Niang was going to do, but she was worried that she would suffer a loss.
Liu Yingying gently wiped away her tears, "Be good, listen to me, I'll be right back!" After saying that, she left without looking back.
Lin Cuicui stood in the courtyard, her gaze fixed on Liu Yingying's departing figure.
For some reason, a feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
The Zhu family is in deep trouble this time!
"Um... I'll go check it out for you..."
Lin Cuicui turned around, said this to Zhao Di, and then ran out...
Zhu Family Old House
The sisters, Zhu Xilan and Cuilan, placed the bowl of dumplings in front of the two elders.
"Father, Mother, look at this sister-in-law! She's such a scoundrel! There's plenty of food at home, but she'd rather give it away to outsiders than bring it to you two!"
"Oh! My older brother is so unlucky, how did he end up marrying such a jinx!"
Zhu Cuilan pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "I think my elder brother was cursed to death by that woman!"
If the two elders had heard these words under normal circumstances, they would have been furious and would have called Liu Yingying over to give her a severe scolding.
But today the elderly couple was unusually calm.
They didn't even pay attention to what the Zhu Cuilan sisters were saying; their eyes were fixed on the dumplings in front of them, and they kept swallowing.
They could smell it; there was meat inside the dumpling!
This family hasn't eaten meat for almost half a year!
If they weren't still trying to maintain the airs of elders, the elderly couple would have loved to just grab the dumplings and stuff them into their mouths.
This is the instinctive reaction of wild animals when they are starving, and it is also a human instinct.
"Father, Mother, are you even listening?"
Seeing that her parents hadn't reacted after all that talking, Zhu Cuilan became a little impatient.
"Oh...your mother and I are listening!" Zhu Youcai snapped out of his daze and glanced at the two sisters.
He sighed helplessly.
“You wouldn’t know since you’re married out of the village, but a lot has been happening lately, especially with your sister-in-law. She’s like she’s been possessed by a demon; she’s attacking anyone she can get her hands on…”
"Your second and third sisters-in-law are notoriously domineering, but even they've been beaten by your eldest sister-in-law several times..."
As Zhu Youcai spoke, he glanced at Ma Jinhua with a strange expression.
Liu is now so powerful that she might even dare to hit her own mother-in-law!
Zhu Cuilan finally understood. It was because they were out of touch with reality that they thought the two elders were unaware that Liu Yingying was doing such a disloyal thing.
So they were angry but dared not speak out!
“Father and Mother, you can’t just let her be so arrogant and ignorant. No matter what, she is still our Zhu family’s daughter-in-law. Once married, she should obey her husband and follow our family’s rules. You have to teach her a lesson!”
"Why!"
Zhu Youcai and his wife exchanged a glance, feeling inexplicably melancholy, and could only sigh helplessly.
At this moment, the third son's wife, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, quietly left and went to the room of the second son's wife, Ma Qiumei.
"Second sister-in-law, I just saw Cuilan and her sister bring a bowl of dumplings into their parents-in-law's room..."
Lu Sufeng deliberately omitted the beginning and end, speaking vaguely, but she was trying to incite Ma Qiumei to cause trouble.
Hmph, why is it that their family goes hungry while their in-laws and sister-in-law get to eat meat?
That's not fair!
"What? Where did those two hussy women get dumplings? Aren't their own in-laws facing a famine?"
To Lü Sufeng's surprise, this time Ma Qiumei did not rush over to cause trouble, but instead began to analyze the situation.
"Tsk, this isn't right!" Ma Qiumei said, her face full of doubt. "Those two little whores don't seem like filial children to me at all."
Lü Sufeng secretly rolled her eyes. We've gone off-topic, completely off-topic!
Just then, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a bang, and Liu Yingying's angry voice rang out in the courtyard.
"Zhu Cuilan, Zhu Xilan, I don't want to resort to violence in front of my in-laws, so you two better get out here right now!"
Lu Sufeng and Ma Qiumei exchanged glances, immediately understanding what was going on.
The Zhu sisters were still unaware of Liu Yingying's formidable nature. Seeing that she dared to come to their door, they decided to teach her a lesson.
"What are you shouting for! You have no manners at all. How can you be such a proper daughter-in-law?"
Zhu Cuilan used to tease her with these words all the time, and they still work every time.
But Liu Yingying was no longer the cowardly original owner of this body; this was her first confrontation with the two sisters.
"Then, my two sisters-in-law, how do you usually act as daughters-in-law in your husband's family? Why don't you tell me so I can learn from you?"
"What did you say?"
Zhu Cuilan looked at her with an incredulous expression.
She clearly saw the mockery in Liu Yingying's fox-like face...
That bitch! How dare she?
"So young and already deaf? Do I have to say it again?" Liu Yingying sneered, her gaze disdainful.
