Chapter 147 - 147 What a Fierce Person
Her family’s living conditions were not bad either.
However, she could not go back to her parents’ house now.
Her younger brother had married a strong willed wife. She had always looked down on her older sister-in-law, thinking that it was fine if her older sister-in-law’s family was poor, but her sister-in-law served the two elders like they were royalty. Therefore, she thought that this older sister-in-law was asking for trouble.
Therefore, she did not allow her parents-in-law and husband to help her sister-in-law. If she found out, she would definitely make a scene and even get a divorce.
It was only because Yuan Chunjiao had borrowed 500 dollars from her parents to treat her mother-in-law.
From then on, Yuan Chunjiao did not like to go back to her parents’ house. She only bought some gifts to visit her parents during the holidays and New Year. She never stayed at her parents’ house and was not even willing to stay at her parents’ house for a moment more. She was afraid that her sister-in-law would dislike her.
Her family felt heartache and helplessness when they saw this.
Now, she couldn’t go back to her maternal family and she couldn’t stay in her in-law’s family. Where could she go? Yuan Chunjiao’s heart was filled with despair.
At this moment, Gu Qingming’s eldest sister-in-law walked over and whispered a few words into her ear.
Then, Yuan Chunjiao’s eyes lit up.
Her expression was hopeful as she asked anxiously, “Really? Is what you said true?”
The eldest sister-in-law nodded and said, “Really. It depends on whether you can make up your mind.”
Yuan Chunjiao’s eyes were filled with hope. She nodded and said, “Alright, I understand!”
When the eldest sister-in-law left, she patted her shoulder and said, “Sister-in-law Chunjiao, don’t give up hope!”
“Yes, yes, thank you!” Yuan Chunjiao was very grateful.
When the surrounding villagers heard this, no one knew what Zhou Xiaoyu had said to cause Yuan Chunjiao’s expression to change.
Old Lady Shi looked at Zhou Xiaoyu suspiciously and asked sternly, “Lichun’s daughter-in-law, what did you say to her? Let me tell you, don’t be a busybody. This is my family’s business.”
Grandma Shi immediately protected her.
She said angrily, “Liu Sanxiu, your family bullied a daughter-in-law. We’ll interfere in your family’s business. Let me tell you, don’t think that we want to be nosy. Your family is too inhumane.”
“How did Chunjiao let you down? She served you all well, but she actually raised ingrates. I’m here to seek justice for Chunjiao.”
“We’re here to seek justice for my sister.”
As soon as Grandma Shi finished speaking, a clear and angry voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look. Ha, this was Yuan Chunjiao’s younger sister-in-law.
Yuan Chunjiao’s younger sister-in-law jumped off the motorcycle before her husband could park it. Her husband shouted from behind, “Be careful!”
However, he quickly parked the motorcycle and ran over.
Yuan Chunjiao’s sister-in-law, Zhang Jinmei, rushed over and ran into the crowd. When she saw her sister-in-law, who was beaten black and blue, her anger rose.
Without another word, she rushed in front of Shi Bangqing and raised her hand to slap his face twice.
“You hit a woman and your wife. Are you a man? Shi Bangqing, do you really think that my sister doesn’t have a family behind her? Let me tell you, if you dare to bully my sister again, I’ll beat you up until you cry for your parents. Do you believe me?”
With that, she raised her leg and kicked Shi Bangqing’s lower body.
“Ouch!”
Shi Bangqing, who was kicked, hugged his legs and wailed.
The villagers were surprised by Zhang Jinmei’s swift and decisive actions.
None of them had expected that the person who stood up for Yuan Chunjiao would be the sister-in-law of their family. After all, she had always looked down on her eldest sister-in-law.
Yuan Chunjiao’s brother arrived soon after. Of course, he also saw the bruises on his sister’s face. Anger rose in his heart.
Without another word, he raised his fist and punched Shi Bangqing’s face.
As he punched her, he scolded angrily, “Who asked you to bully my sister? Who asked you to bully my sister!”
The villagers were speechless.
Sure enough, they were a family!
Old Lady Shi and her husband didn’t react at first. When they realized what was happening, Old Lady Shi shouted with heartache, “Ah, he hit my son. He hit my son. Quickly pull this lunatic away. Yuan Zhongmin, let go of Qing’er. Let go of him!”
She even reached out to pull Yuan Zhongmin away.
But how could she pull him away with her strength?
Old Lady Shi was anxious.
She looked at the surrounding villagers and shouted, “Hurry up and pull him away. If you don’t, he’ll beat my son to death.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an older person mocked, “Oh, your son was beaten up. Do you know how to feel heartache? When Chunjiao was beaten up by your son, why didn’t you feel heartache?
“How did Chunjiao let you down? Your son hasn’t been home for four to five years and hasn’t sent back a single cent. During this time, she served you with all her heart.”
“Look at our village. Which family is like you and your wife? You’re not even 60 years old and you don’t go to the fields anymore. Every day, you’re either watching television at home or walking around the house.”
“It was fine if you did not help with the work in the fields, but you even had to wait for Chunjiao to come back to prepare the food at home. She even had to do all the housework at home.”
“Who can be as lucky as you? Your family must have gathered merit in your previous life. You still have the cheek to despise Chunjiao now. How shameless.”
“Hehe, when your son was beaten up, you shouted for help. When your daughter-in-law was beaten up, you didn’t do anything. Had you protected her, it wouldn’t have been too hurtful but you just stood by the door and watched. You’re worse than a stranger.”
“Didn’t you say this is your family’s business and that we shouldn’t poke our noses into other people’s business? Now we are not going to care. What’s wrong with that?”
…
Everyone was criticizing Old Lady Shi and mocking them.
Hehe, they probably bullied her from the start.
Everyone knew that Yuan Chunjiao was not liked by her sister-in-law, and his parents did not dare to help her. This family was not very supportive.
Yet her family was here.
Not only did they come, they even stood up for her fiercely.
Old Lady Shi’s face turned red after being scolded by everyone.
Then, she looked at her daughter-in-law, who was so touched that tears were streaming down her face. Her face was filled with anger and disgust.
She shouted angrily at Yuan Chunjiao, “You jinx, what are you still standing here for? Do you really want your brother to beat your husband to death? Hurry up and pull your brother away!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Jinmei’s temper was stoked again.
She stood in front of her eldest sister-in-law and retorted angrily, “Who’s the jinx? You’re the jinx. Old fart, you really don’t know how lucky you are. My eldest sister-in-law has been feeding you with all her heart for the past few years. Even a dog will wag its tail and be grateful.”
Gu Qingming was dumbfounded.
What a fierce person.
