Chapter 309: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 309: Wu Shi Jumps into the River, Xiao Ruiyuan Comes Searching (4)
Wu Shi covered her neckline in panic and shook her head desperately, "Mother, this cotton-padded jacket was kindly given to me by Yan Yam, how could I afford to buy fine cotton and cotton on my own! Mother, I really didn't hide any private clothes!"
Hong Shi became even angrier when she heard this. "Humph, you shameless woman, how dare you still want something from that little slut! Take it off and throw it away quickly, or I'll do it myself!"
With that, she began to tear at Wu Shi's clothes, trying to rip the cotton-padded jacket off.
Niu Shi returned after finishing her business and saw the scene. Her eyes widened, and she clapped her hands loudly, shouting, "Look, everyone, come and see! In broad daylight, the mother-in-law is stripping her daughter-in-law's clothes! Eldest sister-in-law, if your clothes are stripped off, how can you ever lift your head again!"
Others didn't know, but she knew what kind of person her mother-in-law was. Saying that she wanted to throw it away, wasn't she just trying to strip it off and give it to that clueless sister-in-law? Even if she envied her eldest sister-in-law's new cotton-padded jacket, she wouldn't let her mother-in-law have it. Hmph!
Niu Shi's shouting attracted the neighbors, who gathered at the door and stretched their necks to look into the old Mo family's house. Hearing Wu Shi's explanation, they all sneered, cursing Hong Shi in their hearts!
"Mother, please stop it, let go!"
Wu Shi cried desperately. If her mother-in-law really tore off her clothes, she would really have no face to see anyone in the future, and even her children would be looked down upon. Since she married into the old Mo family, her mother-in-law has always oppressed her. It's fine to be beaten and scolded for being tired during normal times, but now she wants to humiliate her like this. She's also a person who cares about her reputation!
"You eat my food and drink my drink, even the clothes you wear are given by me. If I want to take them back, do you dare to resist?"
Hong Shi was determined to strip off the brand-new cotton-padded jacket. She didn't care about Wu Shi's begging. While cursing, she used force to tear open the clothes.
"Mother, how...how can you do this, how can you!"
Wu Shi never expected her mother-in-law to be so shameless. Thinking about enduring her mother-in-law's humiliation in the future, she decided to break the jar and sit on the cold ground with her neck stiff. "Mother, go ahead, if you take off my clothes today, I won't have the face to live anymore. It's better to jump into the river and die! After I die, you can find another stepmother to take care of your grandchildren, which would fulfill the relationship between us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
Hong Shi was stunned, obviously not believing that the usually timid eldest daughter-in-law would really dare to resist. But seeing the cold look on Wu Shi's face, she knew that these words were not just empty talk.
Thinking that this useless thing also dared to defy her, Hong Shi was furious and cursed loudly, "You wicked Wu Shi, once you find a backer, you become arrogant, right? Don't forget, you're a daughter-in-law of our old Mo family. I'll kill you, you unfilial thing. That little slut can't seek justice for you either!"
Although she said so, Hong Shi was still afraid in her heart and dared not to strip off the clothes again, afraid that Wu Shi would really jump into the river. By then, where would she get the money to find another daughter-in-law for her eldest son!
Wu Shi got up from the ground expressionlessly and looked at her mother-in-law indifferently, saying, "Then let the stepmother do as you wish, no need for you to do it yourself. I'll go jump into the river."
With that, she pushed Hong Shi aside, rushed out of the door in disarray, and in that appearance, it seemed like she really wanted to jump into the river.
Hong Shi was startled, watching Wu Shi run out of the gate, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Niu Shi was also shocked by her own sister-in-law. Although the relationship between sisters-in-law was not good, she didn't want anyone to die. So she turned around to chase after Wu Shi while shouting loudly to the people who were still in a daze, "Stop my sister-in-law quickly, she's really going to jump into the river!"
