Chapter 137: Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong
"Who asked you to butt in?" the mother-in-law shot back with a fierce glare.
The young daughter-in-law immediately shut her mouth.
Just then, the little girl started to cry, and the young mother rushed to soothe her daughter.
But the mother-in-law, who had just been embarrassed by her daughter-in-law, was still fuming.
Hearing her granddaughter cry again, she instantly started yelling, "You worthless little brat, what are you crying for? Cry again and I’ll throw you out."
The three-year-old girl, terrified by the threat, cried even harder. "WAAH, WAAH..."
"I told you to stop crying! Are you deaf? Are you asking for a beating?"
She reached out and pinched the little girl.
The pinch hurt, and the little girl wailed even louder.
This broke the young mother’s heart. "Ma, please don’t pinch Niuniu! I’ll calm her down, I won’t let her cry—"
The vicious mother-in-law glared. "I’m disciplining this worthless brat. What are you going to do about it? You think you can tell me what to do?"
The young daughter-in-law, her face pale and eyes red, didn’t dare say another word.
"Is there an end to this? You think this is your home? Don’t you realize you’re disturbing everyone?" Mrs. Fu hadn’t wanted to get involved.
After all, when you’re traveling, it’s best to avoid trouble.
But she simply couldn’t stand by and watch any longer—especially since the crying and shouting were starting to frighten her own two children.
The moment she spoke, the woman, who was already stewing in anger, seemed to have found the perfect outlet.
"I’m disciplining my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. It’s none of your damn business!"
But Mrs. Fu was not one to back down.
She immediately retorted, "If you want to discipline them, do it at home. Stop screaming and shouting in public. Don’t you know you’re disturbing people? Or did your precious son, the deputy regiment commander, never teach you any manners?"
Hearing someone insult her son, the vicious mother-in-law exploded with rage. "You old bitch, you’re asking to die—"
She lunged forward to attack Mrs. Fu, but Fu Mingxue, with her quick reflexes, grabbed her and held her in place.
"Who are you calling an old bitch? Believe me, I’ll knock your teeth out."
’Damn it, what rotten luck,’ she thought. ’Even on a simple ride, I run into a real piece of work.’
The vicious mother-in-law tried to struggle, but she couldn’t move an inch. "You little bitch, let me go! My son is a—"
Fu Mingxue sneered, her expression cold.
"Stop bringing up your son. You mention him one more time, and I’ll go straight to his military base and have a little chat with him. We’ll see how he plans to deal with his mother using his name to bully people. Or maybe I should just report this to his commanding officer?"
When the young daughter-in-law heard this, her face turned pale.
She hurriedly began apologizing to Fu Mingxue. "I’m so sorry. My mother-in-law doesn’t mean any harm, she’s just in a bad mood. Please, don’t hold it against her."
Fu Mingxue glanced at her, then at the vicious mother-in-law, who was now sullenly silent and no longer shouting.
She let out a cold laugh. "You’d better behave for the rest of this trip. If you want to discipline someone, do it somewhere else. Otherwise, I’m going to your son’s base. And I always do what I say."
With that, she finally released her grip.
Then she sat back down in her seat.
The vicious mother-in-law was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
From the skill Fu Mingxue had just displayed, she knew she was no match for this little hussy.
On top of that, the little hussy had threatened to report her to her son’s military unit.
Whether she had the ability to do so or not, the woman had no choice but to quiet down for now. Still, she shot Fu Mingxue a venomous glare.
’Hmph, you little hussy. Just you wait—’
Sitting back on her own bunk, still seething, she slapped her daughter-in-law across the face. "You useless thing! You just stood there and watched me get bullied?"
The young daughter-in-law, seemingly used to being hit, didn’t dare make a sound.
She just hugged her daughter tighter.
Fu Mingxue watched this scene with cold eyes, but she didn’t say anything more.
After all, she wasn’t one to interfere in the fate of others.
