"Fourth Aunt, I'm really sorry just now, I..."
Xiaohua let go of her hand, and the first thing she did was to apologize to Ms. Liu. Before she could finish her words, Ms. Liu slapped her on the face.
"Snapped!"
It was crisp and loud, and my whole ear was buzzing.
Xiaohua covered her face, her ears were still screaming, and her cheeks were still burning with pain. For a brief moment, she couldn't hear Cui'er's exclamation.
Only to see Cui'er widening her eyes in fear and rushing over to hold herself up.
And the fourth aunt Liu's mouth was still opening and closing to say something, pointing her finger at her, she must still be scolding her.
Xiaohua covered her face, as if she was dumbfounded. Suddenly, memories of before she was six years old appeared in her mind.
My father brought my stepmother into the house, and she often beat herself like this when something didn't go her way.
It has been nearly ten years since the eldest sister Qing'er brought her back to Changping Village, and no one has ever yelled at her, let alone hit her.
Xiaohua's tears fell down, and Cui'er's cry suddenly reached her ears.
"Sister Xiaohua, are you okay? Can you hear me?" Cuier asked crying.
Xiaohua turned her head and glanced at Cui'er, shook her head, but before she could speak, Liu's curse sounded above her head again.
"You cheap girl, why are you stopping me? When I married into Lao Yang's family, you didn't know which Gada you were in!"
"Hmph, don't think that just because you are engaged to Da'an, you dare to show off to me. After all, you are just a child bride of our old Yang family."
"I am your fourth aunt. Da'an must treat me respectfully when he sees me. I am also half of your mother-in-law. If I ask you to stand, don't even think about sitting down..."
"You're not half a mother-in-law, you're just a fart, a complete stinky fart!"
A voice suddenly broke in, directly interrupting Liu's words.
Mrs. Liu turned around and saw Yang Ruoqing entering the room with a dark face, followed by Xiaoduo.
Seeing Xiao Duo's twinkling eyes, Mrs. Liu immediately understood why she had reached this point. Before she could vent her anger, Yang Ruoqing rushed to her. It was probably Xiao Duo, this damn girl, who ran over to report the news.
Mrs. Liu became even more angry and came to Yang Ruoqing angrily: "You came just in time, Xiaohua, this damn girl, openly contradicted me, an elder,"
"If you use violence against me, an elder, you should hurry up and teach her the rules. Otherwise, marrying into the old Yang family and marrying someone like this will bring disgrace to our old Yang family!" Ms. Liu said angrily.
Xiaohua covered her face and stood there just shedding tears without saying a word of defense.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaohua and then moved her gaze back to Mrs. Liu: "Xiaohua contradicted Fourth Aunt you? But I only saw you bullying Xiaohua here, yelling at Xiaohua, and swollen Xiaohua's face! "
Mrs. Liu said: "I told you that I heard that your mother was ill and came here to see her."
"This damn girl is so self-righteous that she stopped me from seeing your mother. I was so angry that I slapped her."
"I didn't use any force and it didn't hurt at all. It's just that damn girl's squeamishness that makes it seem like I've bullied her. It's true!"
Mrs. Liu muttered, looking extremely unhappy and aggrieved.
Over there, Xiaohua pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Aunt, I've discussed this with you. I said my mother just fell asleep, so let her rest for a while."
"I accompanied you to the front hall for tea and snacks first, but you didn't listen and insisted on breaking into my mother's house."
"I was really anxious. I just wanted to drag you into the main room. I didn't mean to contradict you, an elder!" Xiaohua explained.
Mrs. Liu sneered: "As I said before, our old Yang family is a scholarly family, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in the family must follow the rules, respect the old and love the young..."
a family of scholars?
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that Mrs. Liu's conditioning during this period was not in vain. She actually learned to use the rules of the old Yang family to talk about things.
"Fourth Aunt, now is not the time for you to show off these literary words. People from a scholarly family will never hit the juniors like you. You are relying on your elders to show off your elders." Yang Ruoqing said with a dark face.
"You said you came to see my mother. If you were really sensible, when Xiaohua said that my mother finally fell asleep,"
"Anyone with some self-awareness will take the initiative to say goodbye and will not trouble the host's family. So you are not here to see my mother, you are here to cause trouble!"
Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Mrs. Liu was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"This is too harsh. Didn't I hear them over there saying that Tang Yazi sent a locust to the emperor and poisoned the emperor to death..."
"Shut up!" Yang Ruoqing shouted angrily, cutting off Liu's words.
Ms. Liu was startled for a moment, then she raised her voice and said excitedly: "I didn't say this, the whole village is talking about it now..."
"Others are others. Our family can't let the wind be the rain. It's impossible for Tang Yazi to do that kind of thing. He was wrongly accused!" Yang Ruoqing cut off Liu's words again.
Madam Liu sneered: "Girl Qing, it's useless for you to yell at me. There are so many mouths outside talking, can you stop me?"
"I came here to ask about your mother with good intentions, but I didn't expect that this damn girl, Xiaohua, would stop me from entering. I took my good intentions as an insult!"
Yang Ruoqing also sneered, "I still say the same thing, you just came here to have fun, Tang Yazi will not do such a rebellious thing, believe it or not, it's up to you!"
"My mother wants to rest, please leave. If you don't leave, I will deal with you for beating my sister-in-law!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and pointed at the wide open door of the hall.
Mrs. Liu stamped her feet, "Huh, I'm really tired of you. I'll tell your fourth uncle and Chen Biao later that they can no longer work in that shabby restaurant in town!"
"I haven't made much money, but I want to follow the Nine Tribes. The town is in bad luck. Damn it!"
Mrs. Liu spat and stamped her feet fiercely. When she saw Yang Ruoqing raising her hands as if to chase someone away, she was so frightened that she ran away.
"Who are these people!" Xiaohua was so angry that she covered her chest, which was still heaving violently one after another.
Xiao Duo supported Xiao Hua and said comfortingly: "Fourth Aunt is such a person, let's not be like her."
Yang Ruoqing was really offended by Liu's actions and words. She took a deep breath, turned around and came to Xiaohua, and her eyes fell on Xiaohua's face.
"It's all red. Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
Xiaohua shook her head, "Sister, I'm fine, I'm just worried about mother, the rumors outside..."
Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiao Hua and said, "I will go to Mom's place to comfort her. We all must be mentally prepared, because in the next few days, I am afraid we will encounter many situations like today."
