Chapter 176 Gloating over misfortune
Chapter 176 Gloating over misfortune
Li felt completely ashamed of raising such an unfilial daughter, who not only insisted on moving away and living on her own, but also instigated other girls in the village to become restless.
"What can I say about that unfilial girl?" As she spoke, she saw that everyone's expressions had become subtle. Li had a bad feeling in her heart and asked, "Could it be that that damn girl has caused trouble again?"
"That's not the case." Wang was even more gloating, and before anyone else could speak, she said meaningfully, "Sister Yu went to the clinic today and met her. I heard that she has changed a lot now."
Yu also felt a little bit embarrassed about the Song family, so she immediately responded, "She has changed a lot, you didn't see it, her face has become plumper, her complexion has improved, and her whole demeanor has changed. If she wasn't wearing her usual clothes, I wouldn't have recognized her if she walked on the street.
What Mrs. Xu said last year was indeed true. Your Song Ying is a beauty. If you take care of her a little, she will be much prettier!"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone else immediately responded, "Oh, you really gained weight? What do you eat every day? It's only been half a month, and you've recovered?"
"Of course not! Her eyes and eyebrows are even prettier than her mother's!"
"What a pity. If I had known this would happen, I should have agreed to Mrs. Xu's request. You wouldn't be so angry to death."
"You see, she has been getting fat all day long. I haven't seen her go to the county to buy good things every day. How come she has become fat..."
Hearing everyone saying that she wasn't fat anymore, they were hinting that the Song family had treated Song Ying harshly in the past and didn't let her eat well.
Li's old face turned red. She was angry at the villagers for being harsh and merciless. She was even more angry at Song Ying for making her lose face and become a laughing stock in the village.
At first, they refused to give in and insisted on being separated and living separately. They also instigated all the girls in the village, making it difficult for the Song family to face these families.
Now, the villagers are accusing her of mistreating her.
Li regretted very much that she should not have been soft-hearted and agreed to her eldest son's request. Not only did it waste so much food and manpower from the family, but it also made the Song family owe the Li family a favor.
Now, look what happened. I finally raised this damn girl, but she hasn't shown any gratitude at all. She's only damaging our family's reputation day by day.
Not only did Li's expression become ugly, Yang's expression became even uglier. She was so angry that she couldn't help but scold on the spot: "You are so kind-hearted, but your own daughters are all pale and thin!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Erni, who was closest to her, and pushed her into the middle of the crowd: "Sister Yu, Erni is your biological daughter, right? What's wrong? Why is there no flesh on her face? Don't you feed her every day?"
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Yu didn't have the nerve to insist that her daughter was not thin.
She was silent for a long time, and before she could come up with an explanation, Yang continued to press on: "Your flesh has grown into this state, and you still have the nerve to insinuate that I treat my niece harshly. You also know that she is my niece from a different generation. I can raise her up, and it is reasonable for me to travel around the world!
Besides, she is much thinner than Erni and the others. Does she walk with a limp? Why am I being harsh to her?"
No one expected her to curse so bluntly, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a while, someone finally spoke up: "What are you talking about? We are just lamenting that Song Ying has gained weight. How can it imply that you are being harsh on her? Don't think too much..."
Yang was unwilling to be wronged, and before he could finish, she pushed back: "I'm not a fool, how can I not understand what you mean?"
She glanced at Erni with disdain on her face: "If your own daughter who is about to get married behaves like this, it's hard to raise her. How can she get married?"
Hearing this, Yu got angry and stood up and said coldly: "Who are you cursing?"
The words came out quickly and she said them out loud. After she finished cursing, Yang felt a little regretful. Even if she cursed, she shouldn't have cursed someone else's daughter to never get married.
But after hearing Yu's cold tone, she got angry again, and regardless of guilt, she replied stiffly: "I'm telling the truth. There's a living person here. Is she as thin as a bamboo stick?"
Yu rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to wrestle with Yang: "What's wrong with being thin? Just because you're thin, you can curse my daughter to have difficulty giving birth..."
Other villagers rushed forward to stop the fight: "What are you doing? Why are you fighting for no reason?"
"Stop it now. We are all from the same village. We'll see each other sooner or later. It's embarrassing to tell others about it if you fight over a few angry words..."
Some people tried to pull Yang, some tried to pull Yu, and some stood between the two, blocking their line of sight.
Unable to hit each other, Yang and Yu kept talking, saying all kinds of ugly dirty words and nonsense, and cursed each other's ancestors several times. The scene was extremely chaotic.
By the time everyone had finally persuaded them to go home after great effort, the moon had already climbed over the treetops.
Although the quarrel between Yang and Yu was ugly, the villagers were still very curious about what Song Ying was like now. Many of them took a detour to the Song family's ancestral home, but did not see Song Ying.
Some who were really curious simply went to ask the eldest branch of the Song family. The people in the eldest branch of the Song family also looked unhappy. Although the two branches had already separated, they both had the surname Song, so they would prosper together and suffer together.
The second wife lost face, and the first wife's reputation was not much better.
After sending away those who came to ask questions out of curiosity, the eldest wife, Mrs. Liu, said with a bad look, "Go tell the neighbors next door that they should be careful when they live there. They are making a lot of noise every day. Are you afraid that there won't be enough jokes for the old Song family?"
The second daughter-in-law, Sun, said hurriedly, "She hasn't come back yet."
To be honest, after hearing what Yu said, they were angry but also very curious. Several sisters-in-law were just sighing for a while, saying that their second aunt, Li, had been stubborn all her life, always trying to be stronger in everything and always trying to compare herself with their eldest wife.
In the end, he suffered such a big setback because of his own granddaughter and became a laughing stock in the whole village.
She waited until late at night but Song Ying still didn't come back. Sun's heart skipped a beat and she didn't care about laughing at the second wife anymore. She hurried to her mother-in-law Liu to explain the matter.
Liu's face changed drastically, and she turned around and walked out. Sun was smart and quickly said, "The third brother's wife has already gone."
Only then did Liu stop and wait patiently.
Not long after, the third daughter-in-law came back, her face very pale: "There's no one next door."
"How come there is no one here? Where could she go so late?" Liu couldn't believe it.
The third daughter-in-law looked pale: "The pottery pot for cooking is covered with dust. It looks like he hasn't been back for a long time."
!!!
Liu was shocked, and Sun and others also widened their eyes, unable to believe what they heard.
