Chapter 15: Fifth Sister-in-law

That was exactly what Shao Meiling was waiting to hear. She went forward and was about to slap Shao Taotao, while cursing seriously. “You damn girl, how dare you curse me!”

Qiao Xuan, who saw that they were at the edge of starting a fight, stopped them instantly and said, “What are you doing! Don’t hit people, just talk!”

Shao Meiling, who was both annoyed, ashamed and angry, cried loudly. “Ah, Fifth Sister-in-law is hitting me, she is hitting me!”

Qiao Xuan, “…”

This huge chaos was heard by Ms. Fang, who rushed out and snapped. “What are you two doing again, Meiling and Xiaozhi?”

Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi, who had never taken Ms. Fang’s family as someone important since their eldest uncle always spoiled them, got a bit frightened by Ms. Fang at the moment.

They understood that Ms. Fang was a fierce lady, who had even gotten into a fight with their mother before.

But it was Ms. Fang’s merit of being so fierce, otherwise the other members of the family would have stolen everything away from their family.

And Ms. Fang and her children might have been fed on grains only.

Hearing how her mother-in-law snapped at the cousins, Qiao Xuan smiled inwardly and could not help but praise her mother-in-law.

“Mom, here is how it happened!” Qiao Xuan took a step forward and recounted the whole story in a brief manner.

Ms. Fang’s face sank as she asked Shao Taotao. “Is this what really happened?”

Shao Taotao nodded, feeling wronged.

Ms. Fang threw a why-not-do-something look at her own daughter and said nothing. What else could she say? Her husband kept defending those annoying family members and she was the only one who dared to talk back to him. Their children did not dare to say a thing at all!

That was why after a long while, those cousins found her children to be easy targets to bully!

Ms. Fang would not spoil Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi.

She looked serious and said, “Taotao told you that it was not a gift, it was just a loan! What are you making a fuss here for? Just get your mother to buy the stuff you want! You aren’t young girls any more, and you are still so unreasonable! You will have trouble in the future if you continue like this. Stop making a fuss here!”

Shao Xiaozhi shed tears and mumbled in a small tone. “You are being partial to Third Cousin! She gave it to us as a gift, it is her fault!”

Qiao Xuan rolled her eyes inwardly. This girl was turning confounding truth and lies, and blaming Ms. Fang for favoring her own child! But that was her own child, wasn’t it normal that she showed some preference to her?

Shao Taotao said, “I didn’t! You stole them!”

Ms. Fang got impatient too. “Heard that? Taotao didn’t give them to you as gifts! Stop bullying her, or I will go to your mother and seek justice, if you are ever found bullying her again!”

Well, Ms. Fang was feeling very stressful recently, when her youngest son got married this year.

Her daughter was 13 years old and they needed to find a suitor for her soon. If she was a person who was easily bullied and could not counter a thing, what would happen to her when she got married in the future?

She had to help her a little.

Ms. Xu was not reliable. She was a tricky lady who always dodged trouble and never wanted to offend anybody. She could not even tell who had bullied them either!

But her son’s wife seemed good. She had just come to the family and knew how to defend Taotao.

That was why she was going to show her preference clearly!

Shao Meiling and Shao Meiling had a guilty look on their faces when they were snapped at by Ms. Fang.

Shao Meiling bit her lips, and suddenly, she gave Shao Xiaozhi’s arm a pull and ran away.

Shao Taotao became anxious. “Mom, Second Cousin and Fourth Cousin must be running away to tell Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law about this matter now!”

Ms. Fang sneered. “She can do whatever she likes. I don’t care.”
