Chapter 74: The Toad Wants to Eat the Swan
"I guess it's nothing good, since we've been asked to come here," Li Meng said while eating. She was really hungry after being busy all morning. The wedding banquet at the groom's house was pretty good, with two meat dishes, and they treated the guests very attentively.
"I'll go in later and ask my sister what's going on. Don't let yourself be bullied. My mother said that if there are conflicts or quarrels at your in-laws' house, you must win the first fight no matter what the reason is. Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by your in-laws and easily bullied in the future." After saying this, Hu Xiaoyu gave Li Meng a firm look.
Li Meng gave her a thumbs up. This girl will definitely not be bullied by her husband's family in the future. Her awareness is really high.
"Xiaoyu, don't teach Li Zhiqing bad things. Who will dare to marry you in the future if you continue like this?" Hu Jia heard their conversation and felt that Hu Xiaoyu's words would lead Li Meng astray, which was wrong.
"Mengmeng, do you think I'm right?" Hu Xiaoyu gave Hu Jia a provocative look and raised her chin to ask Li Meng what she thought.
"Li Zhiqing, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She is young and doesn't understand anything. Mother-in-law is also a mother. If there really is a conflict, it is for the good of us younger generations. She is not really looking for trouble, don't you think?" Hu Jia tried to get Li Meng to agree with his point of view.
"I don't know how others do it, but if it were me, I would just do it. She's not my biological mother. Even if she says something to me, it depends on whether I want to agree. What's more, my mother-in-law is the one who makes decisions. I hate people who point fingers at others, not even elders. I didn't grow up eating her rice, so why should I listen to her?" Li Meng shrugged indifferently after saying this, with an expression that said, "I'm just like that, who cares about who else?" Hu Jia was stunned.
"You said it very well, Mengmeng. It's true now that you put it that way. I get so annoyed when my mother nags me. She's my biological mother. If my mother-in-law dares to nag me, it's really hard not to have a fight with her." Hu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly.
Hu Jia's face was full of disbelief. He had originally been hoping for a lucky break, but then he thought about his mother's temper. If she got together with Li Meng, this family would become a battlefield, and they would fight every day.
I got goosebumps just thinking about this. Forget it. Saving my life is more important. I never dare to think about Li Meng again.
Not long after, Li Meng saw Hu Xiaofang's mother-in-law and the aunt coming out, so she urged Hu Xiaoyu to hurry up and go in to see what was going on.
When the two entered the new house, they saw Hu Xiaofang sitting on the bed without saying a word, with her eyes a little red. She seemed to be wronged, which was not right. Hu Xiaofang's mother-in-law did not look like a mean person.
"Sister, what happened to you? Where is the pillowcase that Mengmeng gave you? Why is it gone?" Hu Xiaoyu found that the pillowcase and sheets on the bed were missing.
"The auntie who just came in with my mother-in-law is your brother-in-law's aunt. She said her daughter is getting married in a few days and wants to borrow my pillowcase to show off. She will give it back to me after the wedding. I said it was a gift from my friend and I couldn't lend it to her. She pulled my mother-in-law aside and cried and complained that I looked down on her. Then my mother-in-law came in and said that she had taken the pillowcase and bed sheet away before I even said I agreed."
"I thought that today was my wedding after all, and it would be bad to argue with her so I didn't try to stop her. Later, she wanted to take the flower on my head, but I didn't let her. She then said that I was unvirtuous and stingy, and that I didn't know how to live and save money for her family. My mother-in-law also talked to her about it, but she didn't listen at all. She also said that my mother-in-law didn't know how to discipline her daughter-in-law." Hu Xiaofang couldn't help but shed tears after she finished speaking.
"This is really too much, this damn old woman. I will go and get it back for you. It sounds nice to say it's a loan, but it's definitely a one-way trip." Hu Xiaoyu was angry and turned around to leave.
"Xiaoyu, wait a moment," Li Meng quickly stopped Hu Xiaoyu who was about to go out, and advised her not to be impulsive and wait until the wedding banquet was over, otherwise it would be very difficult for Sister Xiaofang.
Hu Xiaoyu thought about it and agreed. She couldn't let her sister leave a bad impression on the groom's relatives because of this incident. Li Meng was right. She would settle the score with this old woman after the wedding banquet. This thing must be returned.
As a result, the wedding banquet had just ended and most of the guests had left. When Hu Xiaoyu was about to settle the score with the old woman, she came in first, followed by a sloppy young man with a pair of green bean eyes that looked very vulgar. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were glued to Li Meng, and people who saw him wanted to slap him a few times.
Li Meng also felt the obscene gaze, turned around to meet the man's gaze and glared back fiercely, scaring the obscene and sloppy man.
"Xiaofang, this is your brother. Take a look at him and see if he is a good match for your sister." The aunt pulled her son over and pushed him in front of Hu Xiaofang.
"Girl, my son might have done it. He's good at farming. Look at this little body. If you marry into my family in the future, you will definitely enjoy a good life." The aunt looked at Li Meng with a smile, and the calculation in her eyes was about to overflow.
"Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at what kind of person your own son is? You still dare to covet Mengmeng. You are really overestimating yourself." Hu Xiaoyu was so furious.
"You girl, what are you talking about? Isn't it just that I didn't like you? Why are you so anxious?" The aunt looked at Hu Xiaoyu with contempt.
"You are just a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, bah!" Hu Xiaoyu was so angry that she wished she could tear the disgusting mother and son into pieces with her bare hands.
"This is none of your business, so stop talking." After saying that, the aunt walked up to Li Meng with a smile and said in a flattering manner, "Girl, what do you think?"
"Do you and I know each other well? What are you looking at? Give my things back to me," Li Meng said coldly with an expressionless face.
"What is it?" The aunt was also stunned. She didn't seem to have taken anything from this girl before. Why did she say that?
"What are you talking about? Give it back the pillowcases and sheets I gave to Sister Xiaofang." Li Meng looked as if he was asking a question that he knew the answer to.
"What's the matter? Even if it was a gift from you, it becomes ours after you gave it to her. I can take it if I want. What's your business?" The old woman reacted with a look of arrogance on her face.
Li Meng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She rushed to her son and grabbed him with her hands, pressing him down on the table with his backhand. The wretched man screamed in pain.
"Oh my God, you are rebelling against heaven. How dare you hit my son?" the old woman came up and tried to grab Li Meng's face, but was kicked down by Li Meng.
Hu Xiaoyu and her sister were also stunned. They knew that Li Meng was not someone who was easy to mess with, but this was the first time they had seen someone take direct action.
Everyone in the yard was attracted inside. When they heard the howling coming from the new house, they put down their goods and came in to watch the fun.
Everyone was stunned when they entered the room. They were amazed that this skinny girl could easily subdue a grown man.
