Chapter 480: 480: Heartless Fall Out
Ms. Zhao has been constantly reminding herself of this over the years! She tells herself this even in midnight dreams when she sees that wretched ghost!
However, the contemptuous looks from the crowd didn’t change one bit, and they all looked at her disdainfully.
“Yes, mother-in-law, you didn’t touch her…” Liu Sisi’s face still had a smile, but it was full of bitterness, and her words were extremely low: “Mother-in-law, do you understand Ye Lei’s pain?”
Once she said this, the crowd shifted their accusations towards Ms. Zhao. The people talked and discussed, almost pointing her out as the one to blame.
Ms. Zhao couldn’t bear the fury in her heart anymore. She had been ruling Di Family for decades, and when had she ever been subjected to such insults?
So she resorted to her usual tactics: crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. She opened her mouth and cried loudly.
“Look, everyone! This whole family is bullying a poor old woman like me! How pitiful I am, I raised him and took care of him, and now he’s become an official smaller than a sesame seed and turns his back on me, his mother! …”
Ms. Zhao wanted to continue crying, but Liu Sisi next to her didn’t want to listen any further!
Thud!
She slapped the table forcefully, making all the bowls, plates, and dishes on the table leap in the air and make a huge splash!
“Shut your filthy mouth! Don’t take other people’s tolerance as your license to act shameless!”
Liu Sisi was genuinely angry. On such a happy day, Ms. Zhao still sought trouble, pushing herself to a dead end!
Seeing things were about to go south, Land Officer’s wife had an idea!
She suddenly stepped forward and pushed Ms. Zhao directly to the ground.
“Ms. Zhao, do you not think you’ve already lost enough face? Go ahead and keep wailing! Wail! Today, if your wailing disturbs Ye Lei in the hall and all the guests in the house, making your father-in-law use up all his remaining pity for you, I think I can make a decision on Di Defu’s behalf: you don’t need to keep wailing here, just go back to your Zhao Family and mourn!”
Where could she return to her family?
Decades ago, she had firmly insisted on marrying into Di Family against her family’s objections and ended up falling out with them!
Ms. Zhao hurriedly stopped her wailing mouth and froze on the spot. Her mouth was wide open, but there were no tears on her face.
“Land Officer’s wife…”
It was only then that Ms. Zhao began to feel scared.
“Get out! From now on, my third family branch doesn’t welcome you! Ye Lei doesn’t have a mother like you either.” Liu Sisi drove her away without any hesitation.
She knew that what she was doing now was what Di Yelei had wanted to do recently, but couldn’t bring himself to do it! Since that was the case, she, as his wife, should fulfill his wish!
“Get out! Get out! Shameless cuckoo occupying the nest, you really stink! Get out!”
The surrounding crowd cried out, grabbing things from the corner of the kitchen and throwing them at Ms. Zhao without hesitation.
Soon, broken eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and picked-over bones were all thrown onto Ms. Zhao.
“Stop smashing, stop! Stop…”
Ms. Zhao stretched out her hand to block, but an egg hit her fingers squarely, splattering her face through the finger gaps.
Everyone turned around to see who had thrown the egg!
It was none other than Liu Sisi’s Second Sister-in-law, Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang’s face was a little embarrassed, and seeing everyone looking at her, she grinned at Liu Sisi a couple of times then finally put down the other egg in her hand.
“Hehe…I, cough! I just couldn’t stand her bossy attitude! So, so…”
Ms. Wang mumbled to herself, not knowing what to say next.
Her face was much thicker than Ms. Zhao’s. Over the years, she had mastered the art of steering with the wind and sticking like caramel. Seeing her situation in a disadvantage, she leaned towards Liu Sisi and directly clung to her arm.
“Sisi, when it comes down to it, Third Brother and Gao Yuan are genuine brothers. Your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have been deceived for many years by this…this old woman. Sisi, don’t be angry with your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law.”
Liu Sisi looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and forcefully pulled her arm back, “Second Sister-in-law, you’re joking. The broken bone is still connected to the tendons, and how could Sisi ever forget the care that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have shown Ye Lei and the two children over the years?”
This was a blatant slap in the face!
They were all fellow villagers. Who didn’t know how much Ms. Wang had tormented the third family branch over the years?
Liu Sisi’s smiling-but-not-smiling gaze and the laughter around her made Ms. Wang’s face turn completely red, but she grinned thick-skinned, “Absolutely! We are genuine brothers. Let’s not bring up the past anymore. From now on, Sisi, if you say go east, Second Sister-in-law will never go west. Hehe…”
These words made Liu Sisi’s heart churn, and it took a lot of effort to stop the feeling of wanting to vomit.
“You opportunistic Ms. Wang! Huh? Early this morning, you were just saying how horrible this woman is in front of me, and now you suddenly turn your back on her. Watch me kill you!”
Ms. Zhao finally came to her senses from her daze and pounced directly at Ms. Wang, twisting and fighting her.
“What do you mean you’re not deceiving us? Over the years, hasn’t your man Gao Yuan been clinging to this issue and making me give your family countless benefits and supporting your lazy ass? I’ll kill you…”
Oh! So that’s how it is…
Everyone finally understood the ins and outs of Di Family’s situation!
“You wicked old hag, you killed my real mother-in-law, and now you dare to talk nonsense! Watch me tear your mouth apart!”
Ms. Wang was furious! She was no pushover, either. Over the years, she had often gone toe-to-toe with Ms. Zhao in both civil and military matters.
Now, one pulling the other’s hair, the other grabbing the other’s collar, scratching each other with claws, and even slapping each other…
From the table to the doorway of the kitchen, they rolled on the ground, fighting in a tangled mess. They continued to roll out from the kitchen threshold, all the way down the eaves, and fell into the drain.
The two did not stop fighting, but rather intensified their efforts.
Ms. Zhao had been holding in her anger all day and didn’t dare vent it at Liu Sisi, so she just happened to pick Ms. Wang as her punching bag.
Ms. Wang had been oppressed by Ms. Zhao for years and was full of resentment. Now that she finally had a chance to fight back, and with Liu Sisi watching nearby, wasn’t this a golden opportunity to show that she was standing on the side of the third family branch? How could she let it pass?
The two continued to curse, bite, and fight fiercely.
Even more onlookers gathered in a circle nearby, pointing and commenting on the two who were fighting in earnest.
