After being chased and beaten by Xiufa, Xiushui expressed that he felt very wronged.
The younger sister-in-law came over and looked at her with a funny look on her face.
"It must be you who provoked Xiufa. You are very capable, Wen Xiushui, to make her, who is usually good-tempered, so angry."
Xiushui pouted in dissatisfaction. "Why don't you say it was Sister Xiufa who was making a fuss? Besides, you're the aunt, shouldn't you comfort your injured niece? I'm hurting right now and desperately need a hug."
Ruzhu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand, looking as if she was determined to give it a try.
"Come on, even though I know you're a bad guy, I said I'd protect you and love you."
Xiushui said she didn't want such a forced hug of love.
He turned around and ignored her. They were all bad people and she didn't want to love anyone anymore.
Seeing that her niece seemed indifferent, Wen Ruzhu gave her a piece of dried fruit.
"Come, let's share some fruit. I saved this with great difficulty. Even the cute Xiu Ai doesn't have any."
Xiushui stuffed it into her mouth. "Please, I'll give you this fruit. Have you memorized all the pharmacology? The positive and side effects, and how to use moxibustion?"
Ruzhu felt helpless when her niece urged her to do her homework.
She came over good-naturedly and spoke mysteriously.
“I just carried it for too long, so I just went down and walked for a while.
Then, I saw a terrifying scene. Do you want to hear it?"
I have to say that the gossipy tone of the aunt successfully caught Xiushui's attention.
Who told me to do that? All I did along the way was cramming medical knowledge and walking all the time.
Being able to hear some gossip occasionally is also a different kind of scenery on the road of fleeing famine.
"Beg me, and give me something to eat, and I'll tell you gossip."
Xiushui stared. So, was this young lady here to share gossip with her, or was she just asking for food? She was very skeptical.
Fortunately, she eats a lot. Her rich niece said that nothing can be done without food.
She gave each of them a bag of toffee and a bag of fruit. Ruzhu put them away with a smile and then stretched out her hand.
"I want to eat the black candy you gave me last time. Don't tell me, that candy tastes a bit burnt and bitter at the time, haha.
But not only did I feel energetic afterwards, but the aftertaste was also quite unique.
It turns out that caramel-flavored sugar has its own flavor.”
Seeing her swallowing her saliva while talking about chocolate candy, Xiushui gave her a couple of scornful glances.
"Auntie, please pay attention to your image as an elder. The way you're swallowing your saliva and begging for food makes me doubt whether you're an elder!"
Ruzhu pocketed the candy and moved the straw pillow. "Come on, Wen Ruzhu's story time will begin."
“Speaking of which, today I was walking and came across the section where the Zheng family lived.
I was unlucky at first, feeling like I had walked into a wolf's den.
Then, I heard the wives of Zheng Lao Da, Zheng Lao San, Zheng Lao Si, and Zheng Lao Wu quarreling.
The reason for the quarrel was that Zheng Laoer's family was disobedient and wanted to rebel, and even dragged Zheng Pozi to complain.
Tsk, you didn't see it, Zheng Laowu's wife, who had only been married for three years, was talking in a sharp way to please Mrs. Zheng, but in fact she was provoking her.
"Mom, it's not because my second sister-in-law didn't want to give you a grandson these years. This is her fate. Alas, who told her that she is not welcomed in her mother's family!
After she got married, she was blessed to have such a good mother-in-law like you. Now she is not happy even if I ask her to do some work. It is because you tolerate her.
Mother, don't be angry. The eldest, third, and fourth sisters-in-law will definitely teach her a lesson for you. You, just be a good Buddha and live a long life. Let my Shan Yao be filial to you when she grows up..."
"Tsk tsk, this Zheng Laowu family is really troublesome. Is this trying to persuade people? This is just to instigate. And then what? With Mrs. Zheng's nature, she will definitely rush over and teach the second family a lesson, right?
Oh, beating and scolding is the least of my worries, I might even deprive you of food."
Xiushui smacked her lips. She really knew what was going on with the Zheng family just by listening to their explanation.
However, Wen Ruzhu stood proudly with her hands on her hips. "Haha, if that's the case, then why would I share her family gossip? It's only because the plot is a little different that I hurried back to share it with you."
"What? Different? What could it be? You can't just split up the second son's room in a fit of rage. If that were to happen, the three girls would be so happy."
Ruzhu rolled her eyes at her. "Don't interrupt." After hearing what the fifth daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Zheng saw the eldest daughter-in-law yelling even more bluntly, saying she wanted to beat someone up, especially the second daughter-in-law.
Zheng Laoer's wife was timid and weak, and huddled up in fear, but at least she didn't run away. She just looked at her sisters-in-law with tears in her eyes.
Then, when the third and fourth sons were about to grab her and hit someone, Old Lady Zheng yelled at the two of them.
She is my daughter-in-law, and I, as her mother-in-law, didn't hit her. So what right do you, as her sisters-in-law, have to hit her? Are you taking advantage of her because she's weak and easy to bully?
It seems that I've been too nice to you guys. Second Brother's family, your fifth brother's wife is secretly advising and fanning the flames, and you really listen to her?"
Xiushui opened her mouth wide, unable to believe the direction of the story she heard.
"Auntie, this can't be a new story you made up, right? Mrs. Zheng is such a mean person. She always takes the lead in bullying Zheng Er's family.
From what you said... she not only understood what the fifth family said, but also knew that these daughters-in-law usually bully the second family!
How is this possible? How could she have a change of heart?
What people who share gossip like to see most is that the other party can't believe it and insists on urging them to tell the follow-up.
At this moment, Ruzhu finally understood Heimei's hobby. It feels really good to tell people gossip.
"That's right. Mother Zheng not only asked the second daughter-in-law directly whether she was angry. After being stunned for a moment, the second daughter-in-law actually nodded weakly.
Can you imagine, instead of curling up like usual, she nodded.
Finally, she asked Mrs. Zheng pitifully and weakly, "Mother, what should I do?"
"Ha, Mrs. Zheng must have been pissed to death."
"No, Mrs. Zheng was not angry to death. On the contrary, she just looked at her with melancholy, and finally touched her head.
Really, I suspect she imitated my mother’s touch on my brothers’ heads, so helplessly yet lovingly touched the head of the second son’s wife…”
Xiushui's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
This could be that old lady Zheng.
This is the mean mother-in-law who always scolds and criticizes her second daughter-in-law!
"Haha, at that time, whether it was the Zheng family's wives, the Zheng family men surrounding them, or the onlookers like me...
Everyone's face was filled with horror, just like your silly look now, hahahaha..."
