Chapter 230: 228: Picking bones out of an egg, Ms. Zhao gets beaten
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
âYou, you⦠shrew! You dare to threaten me!â Ms. Zhao was so angry she couldnât speak properly!
Liu Sisi gave a shallow smile.
âEven if I borrowed ten times the courage, I wouldnât dare to threaten you.â
After saying that, she turned and walked outside: âBy the way! Ye Lei is seriously injured. Iâm afraid I will have to take care of him very carefully tonight, so I might come later. Mom, please donât mind.â
As she said this, she had already left the left wing room.
Ms. Zhao, unable to hold back her anger, immediately chased out from the inner room: âYou damn woman! Get back here! Youâre not even taking care of your brotherâs big wedding? Stop! Did you hear me? Be careful when you give birth to your sonâ¦â
âMother-in-law! Why is Ye Lei seriously injured? I advise you to think carefully before scolding me!â
Liu Sisi fiercely turned her head, and asked harshly with narrowed eyes, âIf you really push Sisi to the edge, donât blame Sisi for leaving you without a foothold in the Di family!â
Ms. Zhao was taken aback by the ferocity in her eyes and hesitated to speak.
Although she was tough now, she was really afraid that others would find out about Ruo Ningâs disgraceful secret, and Ruo Ningâs life would be completely ruined!
Liu Sisi did not have a trace of a smile on her face! After speaking, she turned and left without looking back.
Ms. Zhao was choked on the spot, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses and cursed loudly!
This place was the old house courtyard, and those coming in and out at the moment were fellow villagers who had come to help. Di Yelei was not Ms. Zhaoâs biological son, and the villagers had seen and remembered the harshness she had shown toward the third family branch all these years.
Now, hearing the conversation between the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they whispered and speculated privately. They guessed what kind of tricks Ms. Zhao had played that had annoyed the delicate third daughter-in-law.
An old woman beside them couldnât stand it anymore and retorted sarcastically!
âI say, Ms. Zhao! I heard that the new clothes youâre wearing were bought for you by your third daughter-in-law? I also heard that when Ah-Bao got married, the third family branch gave 2 taels of silver, a silver hairpin, and a pair of silver earrings?â
Ms. Zhao covered her chest and her face turned pale!
What she was wearing was indeed the new clothes that Liu Sisi had sent early in the morning!
In her opinion, she was the mother-in-law, and the Third Sonâs family should earn money for her to spend, and they should buy her clothes to wear.
âSo what if itâs from the Third Sonâs family? I raised him with hard work, and it was only natural to get some interest back!â
After saying this, she glared proudly at the people around her.
A married woman next to her couldnât help laughing: âWow! You actually raised him? How you treated Ye Lei when he was a child, all of us neighbors saw it. When you did bad things, why didnât you remember it? You donât feel ashamed when people point it out, but you still show off, right?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right! Where can you find such a good daughter-in-law?â
âIn my opinion, she probably despises Ye Lei because heâs not her own son, so sheâs always picking on the third family branch!â
âThe man of the house is still bedridden, and encountering such a cheap mother-in-law is really unfortunate! I donât know if sheâll accumulate any good views for the future generation!â
ââ¦â
Being suddenly pointed out by these people, Ms. Zhao felt her face burning hot.
âWhatâs it to you all? This is my Di familyâs business, what does it have to do with you outsiders? I think you guys are just too full! Meddling in other peopleâs business like a dog chasing a rat.â
She couldnât help yelling at the village women!
âYouâre all eating my Di familyâs food and gossiping about my Di family, right? Get lost! All of you, get lost!â
All the villagers who had come to help were outraged!
âIâm telling you, Ms. Zhao, what kind of talk is that? You think we came to help because of your face! As if we came to freeload a meal from you. Weâre all leaving! I want to see how she can prepare the wedding feast on her own!â
The fellow villagers who came to help were all grumbling and accusing Ms. Zhao.
âThe one who should leave⦠is you! Iâll⦠kill youâ¦â
With that, a slap flew from the side, followed by a shower of crutch blows.
Elderly Mr. Di was furious!
He might be clumsy with his hands and feet now, but he wasnât stupid!
He had been hearing Ms. Zhaoâs arrogant voice from outside, and it was making him more and more anxious, especially since he couldnât speak up. He was so worried!
At present, seeing that Ms. Zhao had offended all the villagers, he could not care about anything else and just hit her.
âYou hit me! Hit me to death! I donât want to live! How unfortunate I, Zhao, am to have such a miserable life! Now, at my old age, you are still hitting me! Hit me, hit me â hit me to death, hit me!â
Ms. Zhao kicked and screamed, crying and acting like a shrew as she fell to the ground and didnât get up.
The fellow villagers who were helping saw that the situation was getting out of hand and quickly separated Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao while comforting each of them.
After a few strikes of his crutches, Elderly Mr. Di had no more strength. He sat down under the eaves, unable to stand, panting heavily.
On the other hand, Ms. Zhao was still crying in great grief and looking extremely wronged.
Throughout all this, Di Ah-Bao, who had been hiding in the new room, didnât even show his face. No one knows what he was working on!
âI say, are we still preparing this feast? A clever wife cannot cook without rice. If you want me as the Head Chef, you have to provide the ingredients, right?â
It was the Head Chef who finally spoke up, tired of waiting for the ingredients to come!
âBut let me say this beforehand: whether this feast is prepared or not, youâll still have to pay me.â
At this point, Ms. Zhao stopped her crying and hurried to look for the ingredients.
Elderly Mr. Di caught his breath and quickly apologized to everyone who had come to help.
Seeing the exhausted Elderly Mr. Di, the people who came to help all busied themselves with their tasks again. After all, they came to help for the sake of Mr. Di and Di Yeleiâs face.
Ms. Zhao was running around in circles, secretly planning in her heart how to get the Third Family Branch to take out the rabbit and wild pheasant. She couldnât let this loss today be in vainâ¦
Di Wei rushed in from outside: âGrandmother! Grandmother, thereâs a problem at Dadâs side! The Zhao Family sold the fish to someone else!â
âWhat do you mean?â
Ms. Zhao was immediately worried! How could this feast be without fish?
âSold to someone else? Which bastard dared to snatch my fish? Where is the fish? Take me there quickly!â
Ms. Zhao was all fired up, itching for a fight!
âItâs over here, follow me, Grandmother!â
Di Wei quickly led Ms. Zhao outside. As soon as Ms. Zhao left, the whole old house suddenly became orderly and everyone went about their tasks.
Liu Sisi, on the other hand, wasnât in a hurry. She leisurely returned home. As expected! The doctor who came to change the medicine was already here.
Di Yeleiâs wounds had already scabbed, and the shallow parts had started to peel off, revealing pink and tender flesh. His entire back was a mess of colors, a horrifying sight!
As soon as the doctor had changed the medicine, Liu Sisi anxiously asked, âSir, why is it taking my husbandâs wounds so long to heal? Whatâs going on?â
