Fang Rong was beaten up and was about to loudly recount how she had been bullied by Old Lady Xia at the door, hoping everyone would condemn her.
But Grandma Yin's words disrupted the words she had just prepared.
But she really was beaten! What's wrong with that old hag? Didn't she see the injuries on her face? She herself felt a burning pain on her face.
Her sister-in-law, who was usually so gentle and sweet, suddenly became as hard as a rock, hitting people with deadly force. Who could she tell about her suffering? Who could she ask for help to resolve her grievances? Who could she ask for compensation for her injuries?
The most important thing is that we have to pay compensation; she's injured!
"Why don't you believe me? Didn't you see that Xia Yue'e threw me out? What kind of relative would do such a thing?"
Grandma Yin always felt sorry for her good sister. Not only did she work like a slave at home, but she also had to be treated well when relatives came to visit. Those people were heartless. In previous years, they not only found fault with her in various ways, but also ridiculed her. They didn't treat her like a human being at all.
She remembered this woman whose hair was now disheveled. She was the most mean to Old Lady Xia, not even bothering with formalities. She wondered if her old sister Yue'e had been bullied again today.
"You're talking nonsense! You clearly climbed out on your own, yet you're trying to frame someone!" Old Mrs. Yin shouted. "Everyone saw it, right? Sister Yue'e didn't even leave the door. How could you throw her out? This person is a liar and looks mean. We shouldn't believe her."
"My poor Sister Yue'e, she really can't have a few days of peace. She's tough on outsiders, but she's a complete jerk to her own family, never fighting back or arguing back. I don't know how much she's been bullied, she doesn't even dare to show her face." Old Mrs. Yin already looked aggrieved, and now that she was speaking up for Old Mrs. Xia, it was truly heartbreaking to hear.
Soon, everyone believed it.
"Yes, we've been neighbors with Grandma Xia for decades, how could we not know her character? Most people are tough at home, but she's soft-hearted at home. As long as it's her family, she serves them better than a maid."
"Back then, when Old Chen's sister-in-law was in confinement after childbirth, she specifically requested that I take care of her. Instead of having a proper confinement period at home, she insisted on coming to my house. During that time, I worked during the day and took care of my sister-in-law at night. When my sister-in-law went back, she was plump and healthy, while I looked ten years older and had lost a lot of weight. Even so, she was still happy and didn't realize that she was being taken advantage of."
"That's right. Last time, her eldest daughter-in-law beat up Old Chen, and she insisted that she was the one who did it. No one in our compound would believe that kind of thing."
Of course, some people remain skeptical.
"What if she really did it? Didn't she go to Old Chen's workplace and get into a fight with him yesterday?"
"Yes, at the beginning of the month, she even had a fight with her eldest daughter-in-law's family. Didn't you say she was very obedient to her family? Is this what you call being obedient?"
"I heard that Old Chen ran away from home overnight yesterday. I guess she forced him to. She used to seem like a good woman, a good wife, and a good mother-in-law, but now that she's like this, I don't believe it. I guess she was just pretending all along."
After being talked to by them, Old Mrs. Yin almost wavered in her resolve. Finally, she thought to herself that even if she suddenly came to her senses, it would be a good thing. Every time she saw her old self, it made her chest ache with anger. She was so useless and wouldn't listen to anything they said.
If she is really fighting with her family members everywhere, as those people say, at least she won't be bullied anymore, so how can that not be a good thing?
Her eyes darted around, and she walked past Fang Rong to the back door of Old Lady Xia's house, where she began to call out softly.
"Sister Yue'e, are you home? Open the door for me."
Grandma Xia knew that Fang Rong's personality would definitely ruin her reputation outside. She was prepared to rush out and fight her when Fang Rong really started cursing, but her second son wouldn't let her go and even analyzed the pros and cons for her.
In the end, it was decided that the two brothers would go out and confront her, as if they were seeking justice for their mother. After all, it would be somewhat beneath Old Madam Xia to go out alone, no matter how eloquently she spoke.
Chen Xiangbei didn't want to go out; he felt it was embarrassing to argue with an old woman, and he wanted to stay inside. But when Old Lady Xia glared at him, he didn't dare to go out.
In addition, his second brother said that not only could they seek justice for their mother when they went out, but they could also make people think that their mother had been wronged and was suffering at home. Most importantly, it would show their filial piety, and people would talk about them as great filial sons in the future. How wonderful!
Chen Xiangbei immediately agreed.
Grandma Xia also felt that her domineering personality outside and submissive personality at home would be beneficial to her future actions, so she gave her second son an approving look.
This child is so smart, just like her!
At the same time, she also realized that the truth about her fight with Old Chen couldn't be kept secret forever. Everyone who worked at the factory probably knew about it, so she had overheard people talking about it outside, which was very disadvantageous for her.
Why didn't the second brother remind me back then? Sigh!
If I had known, I would have just waited until midnight to fight with Old Chen at home. At worst, I could have just said that he fell and hurt himself on his way home in the middle of the night. Whether they believed me or not, I would have had a reason. And even if they started to guess, they might not have guessed that it was her. They might even have been able to frame the eldest son and his wife.
The eldest son and his wife don't have a good reputation these days. They're now the negative example in the compound, a real ingrate.
These were things that Old Mrs. Yin told her in private, because no one would say these things in front of their family, as that would only invite hatred.
Hearing Grandma Yin's call, Grandma Xia got up and opened the door for her.
"What's going on? Your family has had so many troubles lately. Your eldest son and his wife just went back to your in-laws' house this morning, then a strange man came over at noon, and now this has happened. It's good that we can't indulge in those feudal superstitions now, otherwise you really would have to go to the temple to pray." Old Mrs. Yin held her hand, her words earnest.
Grandma Xia felt very comforted. In her previous life, when she had a miserable time, only Grandma Yin helped her. No matter what she was like in this life, Grandma Yin was still so good to her.
Grandma Xia's eyes welled up with tears. No wonder her family was always harmonious and her children were so filial to her, thanks to such a kind person.
"I'm fine. It's just that my sister-in-law outside didn't get enough of a good deal, so she's not happy about it."
Grandma Yin: "Tell me, did you hit him?"
Grandma Xia nodded. "Yes, I said it was me last time, but you just wouldn't believe me, and neither would anyone else."
Grandma Yin hissed in shock. Who could believe this? Grandma Xia used to be as hardworking and dutiful as an old donkey, but suddenly she turned into an eagle pecking at people. How could such a strange thing happen?
"Are you possessed by a ghost?"
