After scolding Xia Chengzong, Grandma Xiaâs anger had not subsided at all, and she continued to curse, "That Zhao Minglang isnât human either, even though heâs doing so well with his business in the county, he doesnât know how to take care of his in-laws!"
"During the New Yearâs, do they know how Chengzu is getting by in prison?"
Grandma Xia looked worried.
"Nowadays, our family is in disarray, and those villagers who used to cling to us now shun us like snakes and scorpions!"
"All of this is that little bitch Xia Chuyiâs fault, and that little beast Xia Chengzong!"
"Those from the third branch are no good either, now they even dare to be disobedient in secret, and the money they earn from work is not handed over!"
"If they donât hand it over, what will they eat? Truly a nest of locusts..."
Over the past half year, the Xia family had been declining day by day.
Plus, with Grandma Xiaâs precious grandson locked up in prison, her mood had become increasingly irritable.
Contrary to Grandma Xia, Aunt Xia had become more sullen,
Grandma Xiaâs words made Aunt Xia so impatient that she frowned and said, "Mom, Iâm going to see the Zhao family."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Xia was about to scold her, wanting to stop her, but quickly, she turned her eyes and said, "Right, you should take a look. I heard that yesterday, Zhao Minglang and that little beast came back, and they brought a lot of things with them!"
"Anyway, the second sonâs family canât eat that much, giving us some respect is only right!"
Having said that, she seemed even more anxious than Aunt Xia and hurried off to the Zhao family first.
Aunt Xia almost didnât catch up, but quickly, she realized what Grandma Xia meant.
Aunt Xiaâs gaze was calm, a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth, thinking: Zhao Chunxiao, even after leaving the Xia family, is still exploited by her mother-in-law.
She truly deserves it!
Soon, Aunt Xia furrowed her brow, her emotions a bit complex.
The things at the second sonâs house were all sent by her son, and now, if Grandma Xia were to snatch them, the items Xia Chengzong had sent would end up in the main branch,
Humph, the items her own son sent had to take a detour before reaching the main branch, all because of that idiot Mother Xia!
Aunt Xia believed that her son surely still cared about the main branch; he just hadnât let go of his grudge against them, so he refused to come back.
One day, Chengzong would understand her pain and would forgive her, returning to the main branch!
Thinking this, Aunt Xia straightened her clothes and slowly walked towards the Zhao family.
As she was nearing the Zhao family home, she saw Grandma Xia carrying a pile of things as she came out.
And that foolish woman Zhao Chunxiao was even helping her to take them out.
From afar, as soon as Grandma Xia saw Aunt Xia, she couldnât help but hide the things behind her and said to Aunt Xia, "I will be taking these from the second sonâs, so Iâll be leaving now!"
After speaking, Grandma Xia left hurriedly, her steps not faltering a bit as she passed by Aunt Xia.
After Grandma Xia had left, Aunt Xia looked at Rourou and softly smiled, "Sister-in-law, are you here to see me too?"
"Mom said your side is having a hard time now, yesterday Chengzong sent me a lot of things, why donât you take some back too?"
Upon hearing the name "Chengzong," Aunt Xiaâs face immediately turned very unpleasant.
This woman, daring to show off?
"Sister-in-law, whatâs wrong?" Aunt Xia asked with a look of concern.
That expression instantly irritated Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia stood with arms akimbo, glaring at Aunt Xia, and yelled at her, "What do you mean by that, coming from the second sonâs family?"
