Because the door opened, the cold wind blew into the house and chilled the triplets’ heads. They could not help but look toward the door. The sun was behind her, so they could barely make out the silhouette of a woman with her hand on her waist. She seemed to be looking at them accusingly.
That pose was far too familiar. Dabao was the first to react, shrinking into the blanket instinctively. His lips trembled as he called,
“A-Aunt-in-law…”
Madam Guo’s eyes widened. When she looked at the three children on the bed-stove, her expression instantly turned ugly. Were these b*stards really back again?
She took a few more steps inside. “How did you get back?!”
“We walked back.” Dabao turned around under the covers, replying somewhat indignantly.
Madam Gup spat on the ground. “What a joke! There’s no way you little brats could walk back here from so far away. Don’t lie! Hurry up and tell me the truth.”
Lie?
Why would they lie?
They were telling her the truth.
The three children immediately felt hurt. Aunt-in-law was their uncle’s wife and she never really liked them. As far as they could remember, she had always called them little b*stards who had no father.
That was why the three of them were actually a little scared of their mean, nasty aunt-in-law.
When Madam Guo saw that they were not saying anything, she finally seemed to remember something.
“Hey, where’s your crazy mother?”
Dabao and the others were still too afraid to speak.
Madam Guo harrumphed coldly and continued,
“I know, she must have frozen to death out there. Right?”
Dabao tugged at the corners of his lips and instinctively wanted to say something, but Erniu stopped him.
Erniu gave her brother a look that said, ‘Don’t argue back. Let the hag talk to herself all she wants so she’ll leave.’
Madam Guo knew that the triplets were afraid of her. In her mind, that idiot Eleventh Daughter must have frozen to death. Maybe there was some kind outsider who found these b*stards and sent them back here!
Well, no harm done. As long as that stupid Eleventh Daughter had frozen to death, it would be easy as pie to kill these brats.
She was about to turn and leave when she suddenly saw the two wild chickens at the door. Madam Guo’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. Wild chickens!! At this time in the winter!
She grabbed the chickens excitedly and yelled at the children on the bed,
“You little b*stards, where did you steal these from?!”
Steal…
They had been falsely accused out of nowhere. The triplets looked at Madam Guo pitifully, with tears in their eyes.
They could not say that their Mommy was still alive, that Mommy was the one who brought the chickens back. After all, they knew that Aunt-in-law hated them and hated Mommy even more. They did not want her to bully Mommy.
All they could do was puff up their cheeks and stare at Madam Guo, hoping she would leave soon.
Since they did not say anything, Madam Guo took the chickens and said with a smile, “I don’t care if you stole these wild chickens, but you b*stards have no right to eat chicken meat! I’ll take these back and make soup for the Old Master and his real grandchildren! It’d be good for them in this cold winter.
As soon as she said that…
Dabao could not take it anymore. He sat up in bed and roared at Madam Guo,
“Stop right there!”
“Oh?”
Madam Guo turned around and looked at Dabao with some surprise. “To think you dare to yell at me! You’ve gotten braver these past three days, you little b*stard!”
“Mommy hunted those chickens for us! You can’t take them away!” Dabao was so angry that his eyes turned red.
