Zhao Dongxiu was about to explode with anger, "She’s faking it, Wei Yuanchun, you little slut, you’re pretending to be pitiful to frame me. I didn’t hit you, you were lying on the ground yourself. Wei Yuanchun, you’re framing me, I will definitely not let you get away with this, I..."
"Alright, you hit someone and still won’t admit it, and you dare threaten her, do you think you’re invincible? You really think no one can do anything to you. I’m telling you, if you keep being stubborn, I’ll report you to the police. A sister-in-law hitting her husband’s sister is also illegal."
"Zhao Dongxiu, you think just because Wei Yuanchun is your sister-in-law, that she won’t do anything to you after you hit her because of her brother and nephew? But you’re too vicious. You beat her until she couldn’t get up from the ground, and you’re still so arrogant. Zhao Dongxiu, as a person, you should have a conscience. Your sister-in-law has been looking after your child for so long, doesn’t she deserve some credit? How can you lay hands on her? Do the right thing for once."
Zhao Dongxiu cried out of anger, "I told you, I didn’t hit her. Ask these kids if you don’t believe me. I really didn’t hit her, she was the one lying on the ground, I really didn’t..."
"Enough, stop arguing. Aunt Li and I saw you kicking Wei Yuanchun with your foot as soon as we entered. How do you still have the audacity to argue? Do you really think everyone is blind?" Manager Wang interrupted her, then asked, "Come on, Zhao Dongxiu, what was the reason you hit Wei Yuanchun today?"
Zhao Dongxiu, furious, sat down on the ground and slapped her thigh, crying as she recounted how Yuan Chun tried to take things from the house.
Manager Wang once received favors from Yuan Chun, so of course, she sided with Yuan Chun, saying, "You even said those were things your sister-in-law brought. If you want to drive her out, and she takes what she brought, there’s nothing wrong with that."
"But those aren’t her eggs and rice; it was my in-laws who brought them for me."
"Bah, her parents brought them. You can eat them, so why can’t their own daughter?" Grandma Li spat at her, "Zhao Dongxiu, you’re really shameless. It’s a good thing the factory fired you, otherwise with someone like you working there, we’d have to worry about whether you’d do something harmful to the factory."
"Zhao Dongxiu, if you keep making unreasonable arguments, then I’ll report to the leadership and have them investigate whether you’ve done anything during work hours to harm the collective interests of the factory," Manager Wang threatened.
Zhao Dongxiu was left mumbling, not daring to argue anymore.
"Zhao Dongxiu, you bitch, you dare hit Sanbao, see if I don’t beat you to death."
At this moment, Sanbao’s second aunt rushed in from outside, grabbed Zhao Dongxiu’s hair, and slapped her face.
Manager Wang was stunned for a moment, then slowly went to stop the second aunt after she had given several big slaps. "Comrade Gan Ping, don’t be angry, I’m currently educating her."
Gan Ping saw the union folks were also present, so she stopped, coldly snorting, "Manager Wang, on your account, I won’t beat her to death, but I demand an explanation for her hitting Sanbao."
"Yes, yes, it was Zhao Dongxiu’s fault for hitting Sanbao, so let Zhao Dongxiu compensate with ten eggs for Sanbao to eat," Manager Wang said.
A single slap ended up costing ten eggs, which was already quite a large compensation.
Zhao Dongxiu covered her face, feeling extremely wronged, "Aunt Gan Ping, I didn’t mean to hit your family’s Sanbao. I was aiming to hit Wei Yuanchun, and Sanbao suddenly rushed over. My slap landed on him by accident. I... I apologize to you, but the eggs... sigh... my sister-in-law took them all, I don’t have any eggs left at home."
Manager Wang certainly wouldn’t let Wei Yuanchun provide those eggs, so she immediately said, "Then give canned food, malted milk, or candy, you decide what to hand over."
