Chapter 230: 228: Picking bones out of an egg, Ms. Zhao gets beaten
“Even if I borrowed ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare to threaten you.”
After saying that, she turned and walked outside: “By the way! Ye Lei is seriously injured. I’m afraid I will have to take care of him very carefully tonight, so I might come later. Mom, please don’t mind.”
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: “You damn woman! Get back here! You’re not even taking care of your brother’s big wedding? Stop! Did you hear me? Be careful when you give birth to your son…”
“Mother-in-law! Why is Ye Lei seriously injured? I advise you to think carefully before scolding me!”
Liu Sisi fiercely turned her head, and asked harshly with narrowed eyes, “If you really push Sisi to the edge, don’t blame Sisi for leaving you without a foothold in the Di family!”
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 Ning’s disgraceful secret, and Ruo Ning’s 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. Zhao’s 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 couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted sarcastically!
“I say, Ms. Zhao! I heard that the new clothes you’re 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?”
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 Son’s family should earn money for her to spend, and they should buy her clothes to wear.
“So what if it’s from the Third Son’s family? I raised him with hard work, and it was only natural to get some interest back!”
After saying this, she glared proudly at the people around her.
A married woman next to her couldn’t help laughing: “Wow! 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 didn’t you remember it? You don’t feel ashamed when people point it out, but you still show off, right?”
“That’s right! Where can you find such a good daughter-in-law?”
“In my opinion, she probably despises Ye Lei because he’s not her own son, so she’s always picking on the third family branch!”
“The man of the house is still bedridden, and encountering such a cheap mother-in-law is really unfortunate! I don’t know if she’ll accumulate any good views for the future generation!”
“…”
Being suddenly pointed out by these people, Ms. Zhao felt her face burning hot.
“What’s it to you all? This is my Di family’s business, what does it have to do with you outsiders? I think you guys are just too full! Meddling in other people’s business like a dog chasing a rat.”
She couldn’t help yelling at the village women!
“You’re all eating my Di family’s food and gossiping about my Di family, right? Get lost! All of you, get lost!”
All the villagers who had come to help were outraged!
“I’m 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. We’re all leaving! I want to see how she can prepare the wedding feast on her own!”
The fellow villagers who came to help were all grumbling and accusing Ms. Zhao.
“The one who should leave… is you! I’ll… kill you…”
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 wasn’t stupid!
He had been hearing Ms. Zhao’s arrogant voice from outside, and it was making him more and more anxious, especially since he couldn’t 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.
“You hit me! Hit me to death! I don’t 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 — hit me to death, hit me!”
Ms. Zhao kicked and screamed, crying and acting like a shrew as she fell to the ground and didn’t 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, didn’t even show his face. No one knows what he was working on!
“I 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?”
It was the Head Chef who finally spoke up, tired of waiting for the ingredients to come!
“But let me say this beforehand: whether this feast is prepared or not, you’ll still have to pay me.”
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 Yelei’s 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 couldn’t let this loss today be in vain…
Di Wei rushed in from outside: “Grandmother! Grandmother, there’s a problem at Dad’s side! The Zhao Family sold the fish to someone else!”
“What do you mean?”
Ms. Zhao was immediately worried! How could this feast be without fish?
“Sold to someone else? Which bastard dared to snatch my fish? Where is the fish? Take me there quickly!”
Ms. Zhao was all fired up, itching for a fight!
“It’s over here, follow me, Grandmother!”
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, wasn’t in a hurry. She leisurely returned home. As expected! The doctor who came to change the medicine was already here.
Di Yelei’s 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, “Sir, why is it taking my husband’s wounds so long to heal? What’s going on?”
