Chapter 320: The Hen That Doesn’t Lay Eggs
However, Si Xiaohui was not willing to yield. With her brother-in-law’s support now, she wasn’t afraid of Tong Yao at all, "What do you mean I’m creating trouble out of nothing? Our mom came all the way from Li City and you didn’t bother visiting her. Now we came to see you, and we’ve been waiting outside for ages. Is this how a daughter-in-law should behave?"
Tong Yao was originally going to ask Lin Fengying if she had eaten, but upon hearing Si Xiaohui’s words, she replied sarcastically, "If you’re such an expert at being a daughter-in-law, why don’t you bring your mother-in-law home and treat her like a queen?"
"You..."
Si Xiaohui was left speechless and flushed with anger.
Tong Yao knowingly pointed out that she and Song Yu had eloped, deliberately making such remarks. Wasn’t it clear that she was disrespecting her and rubbing salt in her wound?
Si Xiaohui’s eyes turned red with grievance as she pulled Lin Fengying in front of Tong Yao, "Mom, are you just going to stand there and let her bully me?"
Lin Fengying was at a loss as to how to handle the squabble between her daughter and daughter-in-law, but was surprised when her daughter dragged her into it. She sighed helplessly, "You both need to stop this. We’re all family. It would be embarrassing if outsiders see us arguing like this so early in the morning."
Tong Yao curved her lips in an implied smirk, "Do we lack in scandals? "
There were already issues with her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and now there were problems with Si Xiaohui and Song Yu. Even though she didn’t live in the village, she knew that their family had long become the laughing stock of others.
They committed shameful deeds yet were afraid of being laughed at - wasn’t this just foolish denial?
