Ms. Wang clearly didn’t expect Liu Sisi to persistently hold onto her weakness, and her face instantly showed her displeasure!
“How could you talk to your sister-in-law like this? No matter what, I’m still your Second Sister-in-law! Also, you two little brats, hurry up and get out of my sight! So, now that you have a stepmother, you don’t recognize me as your Second Aunt? Watch me beat you to death…”
“Hehe! So you still know you’re someone’s Second Aunt! Just now, I heard someone say they wanted to become someone’s mother-in-law!”
When it comes to arguing, Liu Sisi, who was an orphan in her previous life, had plenty of experience with this and was naturally unafraid!
Such a humiliating situation, when had Ms. Wang ever experienced this? She was known for her rashness in the Upper Village, and everybody tried to avoid her!
Filled with anger, she pushed Liu Sisi away with ease, and after a few more pushes, Liu Sisi ended up next to a small table. Then, she raised her shrill voice and started to scold!
“Aiyo, you really think you’re something, huh? You’re just a discarded shoe, yet you’ve come to our Di Family to show off your might? Let me tell you, it’s just because Ye Lei is easygoing that this kind of trash like you hasn’t been sold directly into a brothel…”
Liu Sisi wasn’t the least bit embarrassed! Those things weren’t her doing, so what was she guilty of?
She immediately retorted: “Whether or not I should be sold to a brothel, it’s not up to you to decide – or else you wouldn’t be standing here, making a fuss!”
This counterattack made Ms. Wang furious, “Just keep being stubborn, wait until Third Brother comes back, you’ll see!”
With that, she turned around and started looking around the room. Soon, she found the wild boar leg hidden in the wooden barrel of the water tank, picked it up happily, and headed straight for the door.
“Second Aunt, that belongs to our family, you can’t take it away!”
Before Liu Sisi could figure out what Ms. Wang was up to, Di Xuan, who was hiding under the small table, suddenly rushed out and clung tightly to Ms. Wang’s clothing.
“Let go! You little rabbit, if you don’t let go, I’ll beat you to death!” Ms. Wang forcefully pulled herself free from Di Xuan and flung him out with a powerful force. He crashed “bang” into the small table. The big clay bowls on the table slid off with a “crash” and broke into pieces, spilling the cooked dishes all over the ground.
Already hiding under the table, Di Ying was frightened and immediately started crying out loud.
Ms. Wang didn’t care at all. She didn’t even look back and just continued running towards the door.
Great! It turned out she was planning to steal their food!
The angered Liu Sisi had never seen such a shameless person before!
She grabbed a broom from behind the door nearby and swung it hard at Ms. Wang’s back: “I’ll teach you to sow discord, I’ll teach you to steal my family’s food! I’ll teach you to be domineering! I’ll teach you to beat even the kids… ”
Liu Sisi was truly furious, and the broom in her hand was swung harder and harder!
“Aiyo…aiyo, my goodness! You vicious woman, you really did attack me! Aiyo… let go, let go! Help! The third family branch’s new bride is trying to kill someone!”
The shrieks that were like slaughtering a pig emanated from the dilapidated thatched hut and reverberated far and wide in the quiet mountain valley, quickly drawing a crowd of villagers.nove(l)bi(n.)com
As everyone squeezed around to get a look, Ms. Wang, disheveled and hair flying about, was sitting on the ground cursing.
On the other side, Liu Sisi was tightly holding two children, one big and one small, and glaring resentfully at Ms. Wang, who was sitting on the ground causing a scene. The two children she was holding were crying loudly, looking terribly pitiful.
“What’s going on this time? What’s the matter? In these three days, there’s been one big fight and two small ones. Is this even a life to live?”
Accompanied by an elderly yet authoritative voice, the crowd hastily parted, making way for the speaker to enter the center.
Mr. Land Officer was truly annoyed. The Di Family’s Second Daughter-in-law was indeed a troublemaker; wherever she was, something would happen. And then there was Ye Lei’s new wife who caused this whole mess right after marrying into the family; she probably wasn’t easy to get along with either.
Liu Sisi’s eyes were filled with tears that were spinning round and round, but she stubbornly clenched her lips and remained silent.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t speak; as soon as Ms. Wang saw Mr. Land Officer coming, she immediately latched onto him, shedding tears and snot as she cried, “Mr. Land Officer, you have to uphold justice for me! This entire family is trying to push me to death! Look at me, from head to toe! Oh, how can anyone live like this…”
“She’s lying! It was because she wanted to snatch our wild boar that my mom and I had a fight with her!”
Before she could finish speaking, Di Xuan on the side would have none of it, shouting out loud, “She threatened to kill us and even said… that when my dad comes home, he’ll sell my mom to the brothel!”
Although it was very uncomfortable for Di Xuan to call out “mom,” he at least managed to say it, setting a good precedent.
“Let go, what kind of demeanor is this with all this pulling and tugging!”
Mr. Land Officer struggled to snatch back his clothing from Ms. Wang’s grip, really feeling a headache from this shameless woman!
After straightening his clothes, he cleared his throat and interrogated Ms. Wang, “Is what Xiao Xuan said true?”
Ms. Wang could not utter a word for a long time, finally just resorting to another act of hysteria, “Mr. Land Officer, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable! It’s just that Third Brother’s family has borrowed 20 taels of silver from me, initially saying they’d borrow five taels, then five, then five more… it’s been several years now and they haven’t returned the money. I was just coming to get some pork as interest, but their whole family wants to beat me to death! Mr. Land Officer, you have to uphold justice for me!”
Ms. Wang’s wailing left Liu Sisi confused, not understanding what the money situation was at all. She instinctively retorted, “You came in cursing people, then went straight for the pork, and then started attacking the children. There was never a mention of money! Alright, even if we really do owe you money, you just come in and snatch things; isn’t that too much?”
“What’s too much? I just collected some interest! You wicked woman, you actually beat me to this state! After all, I’m still your Second Sister-in-law! It’s only Third Brother who regards you, someone nobody wanted, as a treasure…”
Chattering away, Ms. Wang did not have any awareness of being in the wrong. She shouted loudly, pulling at her clothes for everyone to see, “Look, everyone, look! This is authentic Su embroidery fabric, and she ruined it like this!”
“You also hit my mom.”
Di Ying, who had been timidly poking her head out from behind Liu Sisi, revealed the torn sleeve that Ms. Wang had ripped during the struggle.
“You all, see! This is the tear that Second Aunt made!”
