Chapter 308: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 308: Wu Shi Jumps into the River, Xiao Ruiyuan Comes Searching (3)
Watching Wu Shi's thin and fragile figure, Mo Yan sighed silently, closing the courtyard door...
Taking advantage of the absence of anyone in the main hall, Wu Shi stealthily hugged the cotton-padded jacket filled with pastries and was about to return to her own room when she coincidentally ran into her sister-in-law, Niu Shi, who was on her way out to the toilet. She muttered to herself, "This is not good," as Niu Shi's loud voice started to clamor.
"Oh my, I thought the eldest sister-in-law was an honest and straightforward person, but it turns out she's also deceitful, secretly hiding such a good cotton-padded jacket for herself! What's wrong, couldn't hide it anymore so you decided to take it back?" Mo Niu Shi's eyes were fixed on the cotton-padded jacket in Wu Shi's arms, her eyes rolling around, wishing she could snatch it away and hold it in her own arms.
Wu Shi knew that she couldn't argue with her at this time, otherwise not only would she lose the cotton-padded jacket, but the pastries for the children inside would also be taken away.
Ignoring Niu Shi's sarcastic remarks, Wu Shi squeezed past her while hugging the cotton-padded jacket and rushed into the room on the left side of the main hall, slamming the door shut with a bang, cutting off Niu Shi's noisy voice outside.
Niu Shi's eyes widened in astonishment. She never expected that the usually honest and soft-hearted eldest sister-in-law would dare to show her displeasure. For a moment, she kept muttering to herself, but she didn't have the face to knock on her big brother's door.
"What are you making noise about? What's all this noise? You, this stinking woman, are making a fuss for no reason. Do you want to tear off the roof before you're satisfied?" Hong Shi came out from the upper room, looking at Niu Shi with disgust in her eyes.
This stinking woman, who incited the second son to turn against her, used to quarrel every day about dividing the family property. Now that she's stopped causing trouble, she doesn't even hand over the money anymore. Now she's causing trouble at home again. What kind of sin did she commit to marry such a plague-infested wife?
"I'll make noise if I want to, why do you care? You, this stinking woman, are always making a fuss for no reason. Do you need to tear off the roof before you're satisfied?" Niu Shi stared, shutting Hong Shi down with just one sentence.
Ever since her daughter was sold, Niu Shi no longer cared about Hong Shi's face like she used to. Now, hearing Mo Hong Shi's words, she had no kind words left. Seeing that Hong Shi was about to get angry, she twisted her body and ran to find the toilet.
Hong Shi was furious, unable to speak a word. Then she remembered something and ran to knock on Wu Shi's door, "Eldest, what are you doing closing the door in broad daylight? Are you hiding something from me behind my back? Hurry up and open the door, I want to see if you're up to something!"
Wu Shi, who was just looking for a place to hide the cotton-padded jacket, was startled and almost threw the jacket away. She panicked and turned around. If her mother-in-law saw these things, they wouldn't be able to hide them from the big family. But there was nothing in the room except for a bed. Where could she hide it?
Outside the door, Hong Shi saw that there was no movement in the room, so she began to vigorously knock on the door again, and the words she spat out became increasingly unpleasant.
Gritting her teeth, Wu Shi looked at the cotton-padded jacket in her arms. She couldn't hide it left or right, so she might as well wear it out to let her mother-in-law see. As for this big bag of pastries, no one had seen them, so she could simply deny their existence.
Having made up her mind, Wu Shi quickly opened the cotton-padded jacket and took out the pastries inside, wrapped them in a piece of old clothes, and stuffed them into the corner under the bed. Then she took off her outer clothes, put on the cotton-padded jacket, and finally put on her outer clothes and buttoned them up before walking over to open the creaking door.
The door suddenly opened, startling Mo Hong Shi. She put her hand on her chest, pointed at Wu Shi, and scolded, "You wicked Wu Shi, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Wu Shi shrank back for a moment, quickly shaking her head, not daring to speak out in retort.
Mo Hong Shi snorted coldly, her triangular eyes sweeping over Wu Shi's neck, where a new cotton-padded jacket was exposed. Her face darkened involuntarily, and she grabbed the corner of the cotton-padded jacket, scolding, "You wasteful stinking woman, how dare you hide private clothes and buy fine cotton to make a jacket! Quickly hand over the cotton-padded jacket and private money, otherwise I'll have the big husband divorce you, you unfilial thing!"
