On a hot summer day, Wu Man ran around outside and came back thirsty, but she couldn't bear to buy a bottle of water.

When Xu Hemei got home, she didn't even say hello, and she didn't even pour her a glass of cold water. I was so angry!

She slammed down the shopping bags in her hands and said to her in a sharp tone, "Here, take them back. Your mom divorced your dad because she was too extravagant. A dress is just a thin piece of cloth, yet she dared to sell it for eight hundred yuan! If they dare to sell it for eight hundred, how dare you buy it!"

Xu Hemei was already angry, and upon hearing this, she became so furious that she smashed everything on the coffee table.

Wu Man was terrified; she was a bully who preyed on the weak. "What, what are you doing...?"

Xu Hemei was furious, smashing everything in sight, making a scene as if she were ransacking the house.

"So what if my mom got divorced? My mom can make money and dares to get divorced, unlike you, who was beaten by your husband for most of your life and didn't dare to utter a sound! After your husband died, you naturally started to treat your son as your husband!" She spoke without thinking.

This was Wu Man's forbidden zone, she screamed, "I think you need to be taught a lesson!"

A woman who is unhappy in her marriage lives in the shadows for most of her life, and her personality becomes dark and twisted. She went crazy and grabbed Xu Hemei's hair.

"Xu Hemei, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Xu Hemei felt a stinging pain on her scalp, but she didn't care and bit down.

"what--"

Wu Man screamed and then released Xu Hemei's hair.

Xu Hemei touched her scalp. Wu Man, who had been doing farm work for many years, had a strong grip, and a few strands of her hair fell out when she was pulled.

Staring at the hair in her palm, she chuckled softly and murmured, "I'm really sick..."

Wu Man made a video call to her son, crying. When the call connected, she sobbed hysterically, “Feifei, your wife is too much! She’s turned our once peaceful home into a complete mess! Look, it’s all her fault! Our home is no longer a home! And she even bit me! Girls these days aren’t as well-behaved as we used to be…”

Xu Hemei watched her go into the room to chat privately with her son, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and looked down at the shopping bags on the ground, only to find that one was missing.

The LV bag is missing.

She stormed off and knocked on Wu Man's door.

Wu Man hung up the phone with her son, opened the bedroom door, and glared at her angrily, "I'm telling you, you have to pay for all these broken things!"

Xu Hemei was speechless and then laughed, "This house belongs to your son, but the renovation was paid for with my dowry! Not to mention the things that were broken, the bed you sleep on, the blanket you use, the floor you walk on, all of that was paid for by me!"

Wu Man was extremely unreasonable. "What do you mean 'your'? So what if it's your dowry? Once you marry into our family, it all belongs to my son!"

Xu Hemei was too lazy to argue about these things, and asked coldly, "Something is missing!"

Wu Man loudly tried to cover up her guilt, "What's missing? What have you been talking about all day long!"

"The bag is missing! That bag cost 15,000 yuan! You returned it?" Xu Hemei questioned.

Wu Man looked away, "I don't understand what you're saying, what do you mean by 'package' or anything like that."

Xu Hemei stared into her eyes and saw through her scheme. She said in a conciliatory tone, "Either you go and get my bag back, or we go to the police station together. I'm not kidding you."

Seeing her serious expression, Wu Man panicked a little, clenching her cold fingers tightly, and stubbornly denied it, "I don't know what you're talking about. I brought back exactly how many I took out. Don't try to extort me."

Xu Hemei chuckled lightly, her tone cold: "You're old and your head isn't clear. I'll give you ten minutes to think it over. Ten minutes to give me an answer, or I'll call the police. Stealing three thousand RMB is enough to file a case. I have the purchase records, photos, and videos. The law is ruthless, and I'm even less ruthless."

After saying that, she turned and went back to her room.

Wu Man's palms were sweating and her fingers were cold with fear. She closed the door, picked up her phone, and texted Duan Fei: "Son, did you give that bag away? If not, take it back. Your wife is greedy and only cares about money. You should call the police. She looks serious."

Duan Fei had just finished lunch with the dean's daughter and had just delivered the bag when he received a message from his mother. His good mood was ruined, and he replied irritably: "Didn't I tell you to say it was lost on the street or sold for a few hundred yuan?"

Wu Man replied with a look of frustration: "I completely forgot about calling the police as soon as she mentioned it, what am I going to do now..."

Duan Fei was incredibly annoyed. Neither of these two people in his family gave him any peace of mind. After a long day of work, they finally had their lunch break, and now they were causing him more trouble...

He made a phone call to Xu Hemei.

Xu Hemei disliked her mother-in-law, which affected Duan Fei. He hung up on her four phone calls in a row, and only answered the fifth one after his anger subsided.

Duan Fei: "My mom just told me that I accidentally left that bag on the bus. Don't be angry, I'll pay you back."

Xu Hemei didn't bring up the bag again, but said, "Duan Fei, either your mother leaves, or I leave. You choose."

Duan Fei, on the other end of the phone, was exhausted. "Can you please stop this? I've already promised to compensate you for the bag. What more do you want? My mother is old and will be going back to her hometown alone. What if something happens to her..."

Xu Hemei was so angry she almost laughed. "My mom is all alone too, how come she's doing so well? Do you know what your mom is doing? She treats her son like a boyfriend and her daughter-in-law like a rival. She's always looking for trouble just to torment me. This is a mental illness. You should take your mom to see a doctor as soon as possible!"

Duan Fei's tone was stern, "What are you saying? Are you too idle? You've been scrolling through those online posts until your brain is fried. If you're really bored, go find a job."

The person who was initially at a disadvantage now had the upper hand, and the matter of the bag was dropped, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a complete falling out.

Xu Hemei stopped compromising; if she didn't like something, she would tear it apart and smash whatever she wanted.

Wu Man loved watching TVs that cost five or six thousand yuan and liked to play them very loudly. Without saying a word, she smashed them.

During meals, Wu Man would lecture and nag, throwing away perfectly good food and those pregnancy remedies she was using.

While drinking milk tea at home, Wu Man started talking about how hard her son's job was. She opened the milk tea lid and poured the milk tea directly onto the sofa.

Anyway, she won't tidy up, and the sofa was part of her dowry. Since Wu Man is so clear about the details, let's all just leave each other alone.

Wu Man will definitely tidy up so that her son can live comfortably.

Being too kind will only make you a target for bullying.

In the days that followed, she made trouble for Wu Man every day, and Wu Man complained to Duan Fei.

Duan Fei also felt that she had gone too far, turning their once peaceful home into a mess.

Xu Hemei told He Qiaoyun about these things and asked He Qiaoyun to judge the matter for her.

Without hesitation, He Qiaoyun said, "It should have been done a long time ago. With a mother-in-law like this, we should be tougher and use magic to defeat magic."

Xu Hemei received a lot of support, and when she got back, she told Duan Fei, "There can only be one woman in this family. It's either me or your mother. You have to choose one."

Duan Fei accused her of making a scene, and in a fit of anger, she took the car keys back from Duan Fei's hand.

"I'll make a scene? Fine, I'll make a scene to the end. This car was bought by my mom for me to use to go to work. If you don't drive it, I won't have a good time either, and neither will you and your mother."
