Chapter 53: No Room for Retreat
Li Youcai was left speechless by Yu Jingting’s retort. He had mustered up all his strength to speak up before being shut down by a mere stray comment from the others.
Li Youcai’s mother had rushed over after hearing about the incident. Seeing the scene, she fell to the ground, covering her face as she cried.
"Why is my life so miserable!"
"Stop crying. Your son has caused all this trouble, and yet the girl’s family is still willing to marry him off to you. Isn’t that a good thing?" the village chief tried to console her.
"My son is supposed to marry a high-born lady, does she even match? Hasn’t she ever looked at herself in the mirror?"
Li Youcai’s mother’s words drew the dissatisfaction of Wang Fenfang.
Wang Fenfang stepped up, pointing at Li Youcai’s mother and countered:
"My maiden wouldn’t even gaze upon a man from your family who has a tradition of living off of women. Your husband married into your family, your father-in-law married into your family. Does your son also want to marry into the family? Fine, let Li Youcai marry into my family and become a son-in-law!"
Suizi watched this, looking back and forth between the two.
Feeling somewhat disappointed.
Fights between these kind of shrewish women were merely about who could scream louder and hurl dirtier insults. They were not at all interesting to watch, unlike Yu Jingting’s witty retorts.
