Yuan Chun ran away crying, and everyone who cared about her went after her.
Those who remained looked contemptuously at the Zhao family mother and daughter.
"I must say, Zhao Dongxiu, you’re really ruthless. To drive away your sister-in-law, you even swore an oath. But if oaths worked, all the bad people in the world would be dead by now."
"We were easy to deceive, nearly believing your words and almost wrongly accusing Comrade Xiao Wei."
"Zhao Dongxiu, your sister-in-law is so nice, why do you want to drive her away?" Someone looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Did your mom push you into this?"
"What nonsense are you all talking? I didn’t instigate my daughter to do anything, don’t talk nonsense." If her son-in-law came back and believed these words, he’d surely hate her.
Though she didn’t like that little wench Wei Yuanchun, she knew Wei Yuanchun took good care of Da Bao.
Even if she took care of the child, she couldn’t do it as well.
So even she couldn’t understand why her daughter was determined to drive away that little wench Wei Yuanchun.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter, "Dongxiu, now that your sister-in-law is gone, what about Da Bao? Da Bao’s still so young, he needs someone with him."
"Mom, I’ve thought it through. I plan to hire a neighbor to take care of Da Bao, paying them a bit monthly."
Mrs. Zhao heard this, pinched her daughter in distress, and whispered angrily, "You silly girl, there’s a free person you won’t use, but instead spend money to hire someone. If you have so much money, give some to your mom instead, no need to waste it."
They say the kind of mother makes the kind of daughter.
Zhao Dongxiu being so stingy is inherited from Mrs. Zhao.
Not only stingy but also keen on taking advantage of others.
"Mom, I’m already this old, and you’re still pinching me in front of outsiders." Zhao Dongxiu angrily rubbed her arm, then cursed viciously, "I just want to drive that little wench Wei Yuanchun away. That wench is an ungrateful thing. I kindly let her come to the city to take care of the child, sparing her from farming hardships. But she interfered in our marriage and even hit us. I absolutely can’t keep her here any longer. I’d rather pay for childcare than put up with that wench’s nonsense every day."
Someone couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted, "Zhao Dongxiu, maybe you’re the ungrateful one. Your sister-in-law helps you take care of the child and does housework, and instead of being grateful, you act like you’re her benefactor. You’re... you’re so shameless."
Zhao Dongxiu immediately got angry, "Who are you calling shameless? Don’t think you can bully me just because you have a formal job. I’m telling you, I, Zhao Dongxiu, am no pushover. Try insulting me again."
"So what if I insult you? Don’t say one, ten insults and I won’t fear you. Aren’t you just flaunting because your husband is Purchaser Wei? Huh, you’re about to drive his own sister away, wait till your husband comes back, let’s see how he deals with you."
"How my husband will deal with me? What, you want to know? Is it that your man hasn’t satisfied you, so you’re eyeing my man, too bad, no matter how much you crave my man, he won’t fancy you, look at that ugly face of yours, aren’t you afraid of scaring my Yuan Fang to death?"
"Ah... Zhao Dongxiu, you damn wench, you dare throw dirt on me, I’ll kill you."
That woman had a fiery temper too, after being humiliated by Zhao Dongxiu, she charged forward and started grappling with Zhao Dongxiu.
