Chapter 268: Greed
She had a warm smile on her face.
“You’re something else, bringing the children back without a word in advance. Your elder brother and I could have prepared some food for you.”
Wang Mei: If I had told you to prepare beforehand, you wouldn’t have been happy about it.
She made herself right at home and took a look around the house. Wang Mei and the others had brought back many things, and Mother Wang hadn’t had time to put them in the inner room yet, but Liu Hong saw them clearly, her greedy eyes unable to hide.
“You brought so many things, what is this? Oh my, you even brought milk powder, isn’t this for children to eat? It’s such a waste to leave it here. Grandma Wang, your two precious grandsons are so thin, this is just what they need to gain strength.”
“These are all good things, and that car, that car must be several thousand, right? Meizi, what’s going on with your family, did you strike it rich? I heard you caught a lot of large yellow croakers, so it seems true. You’ve even built a new house.
Sister-in-law, I truly envy you. Unlike our family, your elder brother and I work ourselves to death in the fields every day, and at the end of the year, we barely have any money. The children still need to go to school, and it’s been so long since we’ve seen meat.”
Mother Wang’s face immediately fell: “What are you doing, what are you doing? When we killed the New Year pig during the New Year, we gave you so much meat, and it’s all gone already?”
Clearly, she did not like this eldest daughter-in-law very much.
But she wasn’t the type to mistreat her daughters-in-law.
Liu Hong had a thick skin and didn’t take what was said to heart at all.
“Oh, Grandma Wang, you know as well as I do, your two grandsons are at the age where they need to grow, and your son works so hard in the fields every day, he needs to be nourished. How long will that little bit of meat last?”
Wang Mei rolled her eyes and said directly: “Don’t even think about the milk powder, that was specially bought to nourish the elderly. And no matter how much you eat, you wouldn’t go months without eating meat. It’s not even June yet. Sister-in-law, perhaps you’ve taken all the meat back to your maternal home.”
She knew exactly what kind of person she was.
When she was still a young girl, this sister-in-law often took things from their home to her maternal home, always coming up with grand-sounding excuses.
What was even more outrageous was that clothes she was wearing were taken by her and given to her niece. She had cried bitterly about it that time, and directly got into a fight with Liu Hong. Then, this person went around the village with injuries, spreading rumors that she was too shrewish and beat her sister-in-law. Her reputation in the village wasn’t very good after that.
Even now, Wang Mei and this sister-in-law did not get along well.
Moreover, if she had brought back even a little something from her maternal home, Wang Mei wouldn’t be so sarcastic now. This eldest sister-in-law had taken so many things from their family back to her maternal home, but Wang Mei had never seen her bring back anything from her maternal home, not even a single vegetable!
Unfortunately, her useless elder brother was completely controlled by this woman.
“What are you saying? I gave birth to two grandsons for your old Wang family, they are the great contributors of this family. My parents raised me with great difficulty, what’s wrong with taking some things back to show my filial piety?”
“It’s not that I, your sister-in-law, am saying this, Meizi, but your family has become prosperous and rich, there’s no need to be so stingy. We are relatives, and when someone is in difficulty, we help each other out, right?”
The calculating intention was so obvious it hit them in the face.
Wang Mei was not someone who could tolerate this, and she opened her mouth to curse.
Anyway, before she got married, she had argued with this person often. Now her temper had improved a bit, but seeing this person, her temper flared up instantly.
Fortunately, Yun Linhe, with his quick eyes, covered her mouth.
There were many people outside watching the show. If his wife really started scolding, it would not be good for her reputation.
“Ah! What are you doing, let go!”
While the atmosphere was tense on their side, on the other side, Yun Family’s children had directly started fighting with the two sons of Wang Mei’s elder brother.
Liu Hong’s expression changed immediately.
Because it was obvious that her two sons were at a disadvantage.
At this moment, her two sons were being ridden on and beaten by Yun Xiaowu and the others.
“What are you doing, what are you doing! You little bastards, let go of my sons…”
“Who are you calling little bastards!”
Such foul language, now not only Wang Mei but also Yun Linhe and the others could not stand it.
So Yun Linhe stopped holding back his wife. If her reputation was bad, so be it. Anyway, Wang Family Village was very far from their Bailong Village.
Then Wang Mei became like a wild horse that had broken free and rushed out.
The two women immediately started fighting: “Is this how you act as an aunt? You can’t say anything good from your dog mouth, so don’t spew filth everywhere. It’s one thing to take advantage, but you’re even cursing your nephew. I’ve had eight lifetimes of bad luck to have a relative like you…”
Mother Wang anxiously looked from one side to the other, then slapped her thigh.
“What a sin, what a sin, stop fighting, all of you…”
Later, Wang Mei’s elder brother came over and saw his wife being beaten by his sister. Without a word, he went to help his wife.
Yun Linhe couldn’t stand it. Did he think his wife had no man? So he rolled up his sleeves and joined the fight.
Yun Jiao beat up Liu Hong’s eldest son and let go after venting her anger.
Yun Xiaowu scolded: “Are you guys asking for it? You looked at the car and then wanted us to give you the car. We didn’t give it to you, and you kicked it. Do you not want your legs anymore!”
“All of you, stop!”
Father Wang was angry. This roar finally ended the chaotic brawl.
But Liu Hong was clearly unconvinced. She grabbed her badly beaten sons and started crying and making a scene.
“These are your old Wang family’s sons! You’re just watching them get bullied by those outsiders? Are you still their grandparents!”
Wang Mei: “What, my parents only have one son, my elder brother? Is your family the only one that can give birth? You’ve had two sons and you’re so proud, you even want to defecate on the old Wang family’s head.”
“How can you talk to your sister-in-law like that!”
Elder Brother Wang frowned.
“You shut up!”
What angered Wang Mei the most was her elder brother: “I saw it clearly just now. If my man hadn’t stopped you, you would have hit me, wouldn’t you? You’re really something. I think you should just change your surname to Liu and become a live-in son-in-law!”
“Alright!”
Father Wang tapped his pipe stem.
“Eldest son, take your wife and children and go back.”
Liu Hong was unwilling: “My sons were beaten like this, and it’s just going to be accepted like this?”
She was still thinking about the things Wang Mei had brought back and wanted compensation.
Yun Linhe: “Xiaowu, tell us why you hit them.”
Yun Xiaowu glared at the two of them, then explained the whole story.
