"A hen that doesn't lay eggs has no right to howl here. It's me, and I don't want the crooked-neck tree either; just dig a hole and lie down in it."
Xia Muxin spoke to the air without even looking at You Shi. If she had her past skills, she could knock the bowl out of her hand with just a pebble.
Then, resting her chin on one hand, she muttered, "Red Chamber, I see certain people's Husband hasn't been absent, has he?"
Xia Muxin's words were subtle, but the meaning was clear. Besides her Wang family and Zhou Yousheng's few Uncles in Daimiao Village, who else had the money to visit brothels?
"You shameless wench, just watch me tear your mouth apart today."
Meng Family couldn't stand this kind of talk. Wang Shoucai pretended to be respectful on the surface, but inside he was scheming. He frequently went to town, thinking she didn't know what he was up to. Since marriage meant submission to her husband, she couldn't keep him tied to her side. So she turned a blind eye. But hearing Xia Muxin say this today ignited the buried ember of anger within her. She cursed loudly and swung her fist at Xia Muxin.
"Oh my, the shrew is going to kill!" Seeing that hefty figure charging toward her, Xia Muxin swallowed hard. With that build, she knew she couldn't fight back. She screamed and ran backward, noticing You Shi holding a bowl with a smile in her eyes. As You Shi turned toward her, Xia Muxin darted around in circles.
"Ah, Madam Wang, if you want to hit me, just do it! Why are you circling around me like this? She's getting older; her eyesight isn't good and neither is her hearing. If anything happens to her, how will you explain it to my cousin? Don't you think so?" Xia Muxin said while running, occasionally glancing at You Shi—this was her specialty: provoking others.
In this back-and-forth chase, they had already circled You Shi ten times. Every time You Shi shifted her feet, Xia Muxin would run back over while Meng Family chased like a fierce tiger. Watching the two of them made You Shi dizzy as she desperately protected the bowl in her hands while glaring at them.
Just as Xia Muxin was about to start cursing again, Meng Family beat her to it:
"Zhou Qinglian that Girl marrying into my Wang family is a blessing from eighteen generations of her family. What does she expect? Every night she brings me water for foot washing and whispers for me to talk to Wang Dafu so he can go to her room at night. What Young Mistress? She's just a flirt who goes soft when she sees a man. Who knows how many men she's been with? My Wang Dafu is not just anyone; letting him sleep with her for one night is already generous."
“Meng Xiaosan, what are you talking about? My Azure Lotus was brought into your home as a pure maiden. What do you mean by saying that?”
Zhou Qinglian is now the favored one of the Wang family. Look, she had a big Fat Boy as her firstborn, and this daughter is quite filial, bringing back plenty of gifts.
Meng Family has three children, and they were poor when she was young. It was only later that they moved to the city and made some money. However, her parents favored sons over daughters and named her Meng Xiaosan. She absolutely detests this name; most people don’t dare to call her that anymore. Today, when Yao called her out like that, she was so furious that she stopped in her tracks, while Xia Muxin didn’t pursue any further, her dark eyes glaring at Yao as if they might burst.
Yao felt intimidated by her glare and stammered, unable to speak.
“Good for you, Yao. You dare to steal my Agate Beads.”
