Sister-in-law Zhao chuckled and shook her head, "My two sisters-in-law, at most, just quibble a few words."
She had no interest in doing things that were all effort and no reward.
As for Laoer's wife, Sister-in-law Zhao was only superficially harmonious with her.
If there really was a fight, it didn't matter to her who lost or won.
The two sisters-in-law had two sons each, unlike her who had three daughters before having a son, and she couldn't hold her head high at her in-laws' at first.
Having been mocked by Laoer's wife, how could there be no conflict?
Her son was the same age as Xiao Bao.
Da Shu would occasionally bully her son, and when questioned, Laoer's wife would simply say it was children playing.
Because she had borne three daughters before having this son, Sister-in-law Zhao was extremely fond of him.
Da Shu's mother, with Da Shu in tow, headed straight for Yun Xiaoxiao's house.
"Yun Xiaoxiao, come out here!"
As soon as this voice came out, the main room suddenly fell silent.
"Da Shu's mother is here."
Yun Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, her son had been hit, and she hadn't gone looking for them, yet the aggressor had the nerve to come to her door.
"Mom... Second Mother is here."
Following Da Shu's mother's voice, soon a young woman entered, pulling a child along with her.
"Yun Xiaoxiao, you actually dared to hit my son, pay up."
Yun Xiaoxiao, the one being addressed by her full name, looked at the other party with disdain.
"Asking me for compensation? Your son made my son bleed. Who knows how much meat he'll need to consume to recover. I didn't come to you, yet you have the audacity to show up at my door, so let's talk about this compensation."
"Da Bao, come here, show the grievance seeker who came to our door. They're bullying my son for his clothes. If he doesn't give them up, they hit him. Why not go rob a bank?"
Da Shu's mother was stunned, this sister-in-law of hers suddenly started making sense.
Seeing that his mother didn't stand up for him, Da Shu grew discontent, "Mom, it was her, she hit me. You said everything in the Zhao Family is mine, Da Bao's new clothes are mine too. I've never worn new clothes, why should he get to wear them?"
"Why don't you say the whole country is yours? I've seen shameless, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you are. To treat others' possessions as your own, do you think the whole country belongs to your mother?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was no true damsel in distress; she was an only child, more independent in character, and had never lacked money since she was young.
Da Shu's mother didn't care about that. Yun Xiaoxiao had hit her son, she herself couldn't bear to hit him. If her son was beaten, she must make Yun Xiaoxiao compensate.
"Look at my son's head, now injured. If he can't study well in the future because of this, it will be your doing, and you must compensate for medical expenses, nutritional expenses, lost time, and even for my need to take care of him."
Da Shu's mother also saw that Da Bao's head was wrapped in gauze.
"I have a witness here. Someone saw your child bullying my Da Bao and Xiao Bao. Yet your son claims I hit him. Is there evidence, any wounds? If not, you and your son are trying to extort me."
Da Shu's mother, who had never known this sister-in-law could be so articulate and persuasive, was taken aback.
"Da Shu bullied Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
"Right, we saw it with our own eyes."
These kids, who had been treated to Yun Xiaoxiao's White Rabbit milk candy, naturally spoke up for her. Besides, Da Shu really had bullied Da Bao and the others.
"It was you who hit me, it was you." Seeing those kids pointing at him, Da Shu's face turned red with anger, and he charged at Yun Xiaoxiao.
But Yun Xiaoxiao deftly stepped aside, and Da Shu fell flat on the ground.
