Chapter 112: They’re Fighting
“Eldest Sister-in-law, how can you speak like that? Eldest Brother and my husband are brothers after all…”
“Pah!”
Grandmother Shen directly interrupted what she was about to say: “Stop talking nonsense to me. What brothers? Are they brothers? Your whole family are shameless bloodsuckers. I’m telling you, no matter what you want to do today, you won’t get a single cent of benefit from our family. Get out!”
The purpose of these people coming was obvious.
Seeing that Grandmother had Mom and Aunt Shen helping her, and that the other side wasn’t gaining any advantage, Yun Jiao peacefully sat down to eat.
However, she quickly discovered two malicious gazes fixed on her.
Turning her head to look, she saw two girls, about ten years old, from that family.
How to describe it, their gazes held envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Those two girls had different personalities. When she looked at them, one quickly restrained her expression and even gave her a smile she thought was friendly.
Yun Jiao: Does she think I’m an idiot?
As for the other one, she suddenly rushed over, and in broad daylight, actually tried to lay hands on her.
Just by the force of her rushing over with both hands raised to push her, one could tell she was using all her strength.
Could Yun Jiao tolerate her?
She first dodged by ducking low, and when the girl lost her balance and stumbled, Yun Jiao jumped up and slapped her lightly.
The girl spun like a top on the spot, then fell to the ground.
She wailed in pain, losing a tooth and with her face covered in blood.
“Ah! My tooth!”
And the little boy who had been clamoring for meat earlier, seeing the girl run over, nimbly followed, heading straight for the food roasting on their stone slab.
There were still meat slices that Grandmother Shen had given them roasting on it.
“Damn it, do they really think we’re easy to bully!”
The woman earlier who tried to push Jiao Jiao hadn’t reacted, but this one could.
Regardless of whether they were children, they would just hold them down and beat them.
Yun Xiao Wu mimicked his father’s action, took off his shoe sole, and shouted.
“Hold him down, I’ll teach him how to be a man today!”
Shen Xiuyuan and Yun Xiao Liu immediately pinned him down.
No matter how stout this little fatty was, he was no match for two people older than him.
Yun Xiao Wu’s shoe sole slapped his buttocks repeatedly, without holding back at all, his stout flesh jiggling with each hit.
The little fatty had been pampered by his family since he was young and had never been beaten. Today, he finally had a complete childhood.
He just cried at the top of his lungs, making people’s ears hurt.
The old woman on the other side, seeing her beloved grandson being held down and beaten, immediately became unhappy and rushed over, crying and yelling, wanting to beat Yun Xiao Wu and the others.
She even called for her daughter-in-law.
Would Grandmother Shen and Shen Yunlian be okay with that?
Of course, they rolled up their sleeves and charged forward, cursing as they fought.
Grandmother Shen’s pot spatula clanged against the old woman.
“You still want to hit my grandson and grand-nephews? Haven’t I taught you a lesson in years, have you forgotten the taste? Today I’ll make you remember it well.”
It could be seen that Grandmother Shen was quite fierce when she was young.
Although the men in the family didn’t participate in the fight, they wouldn’t stand by and watch their own family get beaten.
So, seeing anyone on the opposing side gain the upper hand, they would go over to help and hold them back.
Yun Jiao also mixed in, subtly helping her side.
“Please stop fighting.”
She had learned the essence of breaking up fights. While shouting to stop, she secretly kicked the enemy or grabbed their hand to control them, allowing her relatives to swing their arms and hit them.
Because the commotion was too loud, it attracted villagers to come and spectate.
The old woman on the other side immediately started wailing loudly.
“This is terrible, they’re beating the brother’s wife! We came to help with good intentions, and instead of any thanks, they’re beating my grandchildren, and me, this old woman…”
With all this acting, she made herself sound quite pitiful.
“Pah!”
Grandmother Shen’s voice was not quiet either.
“Who do you think you’re fooling? Don’t you remember what it was like during the family division? When we divided the family, we had not a single cent or a single piece of land, only the clothes on our backs. My second son starved to death. We begged your family to lend us some grain, and you wouldn’t even agree…”
Speaking of her second son who starved to death, Grandmother Shen cried.
Most people in the village knew about this.
Because of this, they felt that the stepmother of that Shen Grandfather’s family was too cruel.
Not only did she divide the eldest son’s family during the famine, but she gave them nothing.
If the village chief hadn’t intervened and provided some grain, their family might have lost even more people.
“We are not ungrateful people. We remember who helped our family in the village back then. But you, no matter what you say, you don’t deserve to use kinship as an excuse. You scoundrelly creatures are not worthy!”
The old woman stammered: “That was so many years ago. Besides, that was my mother-in-law’s doing. She’s dead now, and they say past is past, why are you still dwelling on it?”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Grandmother Shen’s gaze was as if she wanted to eat them. “I’m telling you, it can’t be forgotten. It can never be forgotten in this life. You got to enjoy the evil deeds that wicked old woman did, and you also bullied our family a lot. Now you’re turning your back on us, I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Today I’ll make this clear: our family has absolutely no relationship with your family, and we will never interact again!”
Shen Yunlian and Aunt Shen also chimed in: “You say nice things about coming to help our family, but aren’t you just eyeing our pork today? Who brings their whole family when they come to help? Do you think we’re all idiots?”
Aunt Shen spat: “Besides, we wouldn’t dare accept help from people like you. You’re so dirty your clothes have a layer of black grease, and who knows how many fleas are hidden in your hair. Who would dare eat anything you make?”
Shen Yunlian glared hatefully at the young girl who had tried to push Yun Jiao earlier.
“Shen Xiaocao, why did you push my Jiao Jiao just now!”
Shen Xiaocao covered her face and cried loudly: “She hit me.”
“That’s because you suddenly rushed over to push my Jiao Jiao. Do you think we’re blind? A nest of vicious people, rotten from the top down!”
Shen Xiaocao didn’t answer, just cried.
“Get out, don’t make me say it a second time!”
Grandmother Shen picked up the broom used for sweeping chicken dung. Seeing this, the group cursed and dejectedly left their courtyard.
Seeing so many people gathered at the doorway, the old woman still wanted to gain sympathy by spewing mud.
“Alas… we are all surnamed Shen, but they can’t write two ‘Shen’s. Why is Eldest Brother’s family still arguing with the dead? She was his mother, after all. It’s one thing to hit me, this old woman, but they even hit the children…”
Grandmother Shen swung a shoe sole at her: “You still dare to talk? Shameless thing, your grandson is the same as your family, lazy, good-for-nothing, and shameless!”
This time, that family was truly beaten and sent away.
The old woman was really trying to fool everyone into thinking they were idiots. Someone sneered: “Give it a rest. What mother? Anyone who gets such a cruel stepmother is unlucky.”
“What kind of relationship is it to bring the whole family to freeload?”
