Chapter 244: Chapter 243: Mother-in-law in Trouble (9)
"Nonsense, what’s wrong with the kids, did they lack food or drink? You’re just a tramp, my son married you, and his bad luck has lasted eight generations. In this life, you better not try to make waves in front of me."
"Old Fish Woman, who are you talking about? Your family always vents on my daughter. Our Xiaoqing marrying into your family was the worst luck we ever had. I didn’t raise my daughter just to send her over for you to bully."
As Lin Wan came in, she saw her mother-in-law sitting haphazardly in the yard, her hair disheveled, obviously torn, her back covered with dirt, and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She was unrecognizable from the gentle mother-in-law usually seen.
Although not close, she was still Han Yi’s mom, her mother-in-law, so Lin Wan quickly supported her, feeling distressed.
"Just a tramp, and you’re the one who treasures her. If she were my daughter, I’d have drowned her in a pond long ago to prevent her from causing trouble," said an old woman even rounder than Grandma, with hands on her hips, not afraid of the in-laws coming over, pointing and cursing at Shen Qing right in front of Grandma.
"You ****ing Old Fish Woman, back then, my daughter didn’t want to marry your son. It was made clear before marriage, but your son insisted on begging for our Xiaoqing to marry him. Your family knew our Xiaoqing has a child. What did you say back then? Dowry would be less, and let the child live with them. But then? After the marriage, you kept badmouthing our child right inside and outside the home. It’s been three months since the wedding, and you still won’t let the child come over. Who are we harming...? Marrying into your family, getting manipulated by you, the old witch, in every cruel way, my daughter is even about to become a grandma, but she’s never had a good day in your family. I think when your mom gave birth to you, she should’ve drowned you in the chamber pot to spare both young and old from your harm." Grandma, as if used to it, fiercely cursed back like a shrew.
Lin Wan looked at Grandma incredulously, not expecting her normally kind-tempered mother-in-law to have such an aggressive side.
"You bastard, who are you talking about?" As soon as Grandma’s words fell, a weak-looking middle-aged man by the side raised his fist to hit Grandma.
Fortunately, Lin Wan reacted in time to pull Grandma aside, dodging it.
"You *** hit my sister, and dare to hit my mom too? See if I don’t mess you up," Luckily, by this time, Hu Lijuan had already called over Shen Haitao. As soon as he walked in and saw the scene, his anger spiked instantly, and he strode forward to grab Hu Lei’s clothes, giving him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Ever since their little sister married into their family, over the years, she’d had quite a few run-ins with the Hu family’s eldest. When it comes to fighting, Shen Family’s robust physique sure gives them an advantage.
"Honey?" The eldest daughter-in-law was terrified to see her man thrown down.
"Dear heavens, they’re hitting people, someone get over here, Shen Family’s eldest is going to kill someone!" wailed the old woman from Shen Family upon seeing the scene.
At this time, the neighbors were all off at work, leaving only the elderly and infants behind.
They all came out to watch the excitement, but not one of them stepped forward. Who in the neighborhood didn’t know about Shen Family’s Old Fish Woman? She’s biased to the bone. Most families may favor the littlest, but in her case, she was biased toward the eldest.
The youngest of Shen Family seemed smart and capable but became aimless in front of his mom and wife.
All old neighbors, over the years, they went from trying to mediate kindly at first to now ignoring them. They cause their ruckus, and outsiders just watch the spectacle.
