Chapter 110 - 110 Apology Gift
Everyone had empathy, and the scales in their hearts would lean towards the side that they felt was weaker.
In the current situation, it was obvious who was the weak one.
“Don’t listen to this wretched girl’s nonsense!” Madam Xie trembled with anger. “This wretched girl, she’s talking nonsense! I…”
“What else is there to say?” Among the onlookers, someone who liked to stand up for injustice sneered and said, “Who in the surrounding villages doesn’t know your bad reputation? Your husband just died, and you ran into another man’s arms in a hurry. Tsk tsk!”
“Isn’t that so? This old woman keeps cursing Third Brother Shen’s wife!”
“Shameless!”
“This Ji Ah Tao is too pitiful. She actually had to live under such a vicious adoptive grandmother!”
“Didn’t you hear what she said just now? What Ji Ah Tao did earlier was instigated by her good grandmother!”
“Poor girl!”
“Isn’t this girl’s fate too bumpy?”
The discussions of the surrounding people became louder and louder.
Most people were cursing Madam Xie for being shameless and sympathizing with the pitiful Ji Zhao.
In the end, the villagers of Shanghe Village spontaneously chased out Madam Xie, who was arrogant and wanted to attack Ji Zhao!
“Thank you very much, my fellow villagers.” Zhao Lanhua quickly took out a few large bags of cloud cakes and peanut crisps from her house and distributed them to the villagers who were speaking up for Ji Zhao!
“Aunt Lanhua, you’re too polite!”
“Isn’t that so? As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. As long as the people of Shanghe Village can work together, others will definitely not be able to bully us!”
“Ah Tao, I misunderstood you previously. I even badmouthed you behind your back. I’m really sorry.” Zhao Shufang, who had always been on good terms with Second Sister-in-law Shen, mustered her courage and walked up to Ji Zhao. She lowered her head guiltily and said, “I really didn’t expect you to be so pitiful…”
Ji Zhao, who was suddenly sympathized with, was confused!
When she received the apology gifts from the young wives in the village, she was even more stunned.
“Flower cloth, eggs, a bag of red sugar, and two silk flowers?” Second Sister-in-law Shen helped Ji Zhao pack up the apology gifts and said with a smile, “Ah Tao, have you eaten brown sugar steamed egg before? It’s especially sweet!”
“Oh, you…” Zhao Lanhua knocked Second Sister-in-law Shen’s head. “What else can you think of other than what eating?”
“I think of my husband!” Second Sister-in-law Shen blurted out subconsciously.
“Shameless!” Zhao Lanhua smiled helplessly.
However, the better the relationship between her son and his wife, the happier she was!
“Mother, Second Sister-in-law, why did everyone give me so many apology gifts?” Ji Zhao scratched her head, her eyes filled with confusion. “I don’t remember them offending me.”
“Then just take it that they offended you in the past.” Second Sister-in-law Shen asked happily, “By the way, Ah Tao, I heard that you’re planning to let Third Brother move back into the room? Are you going to consummate your marriage soon?”
Cough, cough, cough!
The frightened Ji Zhao almost choked to death on her own saliva!
“Ah Tao, why are you so excited when you hear about consummating the marriage?” Second Sister-in-law Shen deliberately nudged her elbow with her arm. She winked and teased, “Are you envious when you see that Eldest Sister-in-law and I are pregnant? Do you want a child too?”
“N-no…”
