When Ms. Yan was processing the fish, Ms. Zhang made disdainful comments. She kept saying that she would not eat it, but in the end, she ate most of the fish.
Ms. Yan did not stop her from touching it, but she wanted to stimulate her.
Ms. Zhang could tell that she was being sarcastic. She snorted and said nothing, and suddenly felt that the fish was not that delicious any more.
Ms. Niu rolled at Ms. Zhang. “What does she know? She only knows how to eat!”
Ms. Zhang felt even more annoyed, and her hands holding the chopsticks shook visibly.
Ms. Yan smiled and felt quite cheerful in heart.
Second Uncle said, “Ms. Yan is right. We have fish in the river and it costs nothing to catch it. All that costs is the oil, which in the end is still lower than meat. We can eat it a few times every month.”
Ms. Niu thought for a while and responded. “True. We can ask the first section of the family to give us some fish when we need it.”
Second Uncle nodded in agreement.
Ms. Yan was speechless.
She would have snapped at these people if they were not her in-laws.
“Dad, Mom! There are many fish in the river. Silang and I can fetch some from the river. The first section of the family has some tools which we can borrow.”
Ms. Zhang sneered coldly. “Fourth Sister-in-law, aren’t you their good friend? Can’t they just spare you some free fish? Otherwise, I don’t think that you need to visit them any more!”
Before Ms. Niu could say anything, Ms. Yan replied. “You are wrong, Second Sister-in-law. We live separately and can’t just take other people’s things for our own use all the time. If they come to our home and pick our stuff, will you be happy to accept it? I will not! Also, fish are in the river and we can learn to catch the fish from them so we can get it ourselves. Why do you always say things ?”
They were just making themselves look more annoying in front of the first section of the family.
She felt that she was also being referred to in the speech, but she had no evidence for that.
Ms. Zhang had no proof either, but she wanted to cause some trouble, so she asked. “Fourth Sister-in-law, your words are way over the top. How dare you say this to Niom?”
“When did I refer to Mom? Second Sister-in-law, please clarify!’
Ms. Yan plonked the chopsticks, and stared at Ms. Zhang with a sunken face.
Ms. Zhang was speechless.
It had been a veiled comment and could not be proved clearly. She could not say that Ms. Niu liked taking advantage of people who were in front of her.
If she said so, Ms. Niu would definitely teach her a lesson.
Ms. Zhang said casually, ‘You don’t agree with Mom’s suggestion of asking for fish from the first section of the family.”
Ms. Yan responded cleverly. “l don’t. What is wrong with it? Silang and I can both get the fish home ourselves, why turn to someone else?”
Ms. Yan sneered. “Second Sister-in-law, don’t try to start an in-fight. Think before you speak! ”
Ms. Niu felt that she had thought too much about Ms. Yan’s words, after hearing what Ms. Zhang said.
So, she admonished Ms. Zhang. “Just stop it, you fool!”
Ms. Zhang got so furious that she almost left the table.
Everyone was against her and looking down at her! Even Ms. Yan, a younger sister-in-law, dared to confront her!
Ms. Yan also dropped the topic of getting fish from the first section of the family, when her in-laws said nothing more about it..
