Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 218 Uninvited Guest

When Taohua saw who was coming, she was immediately panicked and frightened. Her face turned pale and she stepped back involuntarily, her voice trembling, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, you...why are you here?"

The three old women ignored Taohua's questions and rushed into the yard.

When the sisters from Zhao's mother's family were still outside the yard, they stopped and looked carefully at this magnificent courtyard from top to bottom.

Second Aunt narrowed her eyes, curled her lips, and said sourly, "Wow, this yard is really magnificent, much better than any of ours."

Third Aunt craned her neck, her eyes wide open, and echoed jealously, "That's right, I don't know how Xiuying managed to get a wife like that. Their Zhao family really has a capable person."

Fourth Aunt smacked her lips, a look of envy and resentment on her face: "Humph, if she hadn't married into the Zhao family, would she be where she is today?"

After saying that, they exchanged glances with each other and then walked into the yard. They must get some benefits from Xiuying before leaving today.

Xiuying looked at the three old women who had suddenly barged in, feeling a little confused and annoyed. She frowned and tried to dig into the original owner's memory, trying to figure out what these people were doing.

As soon as the second aunt came in, she acted like an elder, put her hands on her hips, glared at Xiuying and started scolding her.

She screamed in a shrill voice: "Xiuying, how can you be a daughter-in-law? Life is good at home, but you don't know how to respect your elders!" After saying that, she glared at Xiuying fiercely.

The third aunt was not to be outdone. She acted like an elder and said in a sarcastic tone, "That's right, Xiuying, don't forget your roots just because you've grown up! We, the elders, are still here. You have to know some rules!" She glanced at Xiuying, her face full of criticism and dissatisfaction.

Fourth aunt was even more exaggerated. She walked straight to Xiuying, pointed her finger at Xiuying's shoulder, and said loudly: "Xiuying, today we elders are here to teach you how to be a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family! Let you know the limits!" She looked so ferocious, as if she wanted to eat Xiuying alive.

The three old women shouted at Xiuying angrily, while secretly planning in their hearts.

Second aunt's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: Humph, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhao family has always been timid and afraid of trouble. If we make such a fuss, she will be scared to death and will obediently give all those chickens and ducks to us to take away.

The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, as if she had already seen a basket full of chickens and ducks placed in front of her.

Third Aunt was also making her own calculations. She curled her lips and thought: Given her weak character, she will definitely be submissive after being frightened by us. Then, not to mention chickens and ducks, maybe even those fat pigs can be obtained. Thinking of this, a greedy smile appeared on her face.

Fourth Aunt also harbored ulterior motives. She narrowed her eyes and thought maliciously: This young wife is usually so submissive, but now that the three of us are out together, she'll have to obey and give us all the valuables in the house so that we can also be famous in the village. The more she thought about it, the more proud she became, and her gaze towards Xiuying became even more ferocious.

Unexpectedly, Xiuying had no reaction at all in the face of such arrogance and domineering behavior of several people.

She looked calm and indifferent as she watched the three ferocious old women in front of her, as if she were watching an insignificant farce, just like a powerful punch hitting cotton, which had no effect at all.

When Second Aunt saw Xiuying so calm, her anger rose even more and she started yelling.

"How can you be a daughter-in-law? You don't even know the rules! You let us elders stand in the yard like this all the time, and you don't even know to pour us saliva. You are so uneducated!"

As she spoke, she kept stamping her feet, looking like she wanted to eat someone.

The third and fourth aunts chimed in, "That's right, it's outrageous!" They also glared at Xiuying and pointed at her.

Xiuying calmly explored the original owner's memories and had a clear idea in her mind. She smiled faintly at her aunts, a smile that seemed friendly but also somewhat unpredictable.

Afterwards, Xiuying ordered in an orderly manner: "Awang, go put the chairs in the yard so that the aunts can sit down and rest. Taohua, make a pot of good tea for the aunts." Awang and Taohua listened and hurried into action.

After arranging all this, Xiuying leaned over and whispered a few words in the ears of the sixth and seventh children. Her voice was so soft that only the two little ones could hear it. Then, the two little ones nodded and ran out.

The three old women sat on the chairs with high arrogance and dignity, as if they were supreme queens.

Second Aunt's legs were crossed, shaking constantly, her face full of arrogance. She cast a condescending glance at Xiuying and said, "Hmph, your mother-in-law's death is inextricably linked to you! However, we adults are magnanimous and won't pursue the matter."

After the second aunt finished speaking, she took a sip of tea. Her words were sharp and harsh, without any hint of leniency, as if Xiuying was responsible for Zhao's mother's death.

The third aunt immediately agreed, "That's right! Since your mother-in-law is gone, you should respect us aunts. We are your mother-in-law's sisters. It is reasonable for you to take good care of us!" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, with a look of arrogance on her face, and did not forget to stuff a piece of dessert into her mouth after she finished speaking.

Fourth aunt also joined in: "That's right! Don't be ungrateful. If you dare to disobey us, we will not let you off easily!" She glared at Xiuying fiercely, as if she wanted to eat Xiuying alive.

Xiuying said calmly and unhurriedly, "Aunts, I separated from the Zhao family a long time ago and have no ties with them anymore. I paid for my mother-in-law's funeral out of a last-ditch effort."

Her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes looked firmly at the old women.

After a pause, Xiuying continued, "On the contrary, aunts, why haven't you been seen since my mother-in-law became paralyzed and had a stroke? Where were you when she was lying in bed and needed care? Where were you when she was sick and had no money to buy medicine?"

Her words were forceful, and her eyes were filled with questioning and accusations, leaving the aunts speechless.

At this time, Xiuying straightened her back and was not at all overwhelmed by the momentum of her aunts.

Xiuying looked at the sky calmly, thinking that it was about time, and suddenly a seemingly casual smile appeared on her face.
