Chapter 10: Grandma's Power

"What are you doing!" When it comes to arguing, Mrs. Fang has never lost. With hands on her hips, she scolded Mrs. Niu, "My daughter-in-law, it's not your place to teach! Only a confused person would listen to you instead of me, the mother-in-law. You should mind your own business! Instead of meddling in others' affairs, why don't you take care of your own daughter-in-law? I heard that your daughter-in-law secretly sent food to her parents the other day. Oh, the Zhang family has such a filial and obedient daughter! Your family is so lucky to have such a dutiful daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Niu was so angry that she trembled, her eyes widened, and her face turned green.

Her eldest son's wife, Mrs. Zhang, always had her mind on her parents' family. Since she got married, she had been secretly taking things from her husband's family to give to her parents, which initially led Mrs. Niu and others to think that the house had been robbed, causing a big commotion.

Later, they found out that it was all Mrs. Zhang's doing, which made them extremely angry. However, whenever she was caught, she would cry and beg for forgiveness, only to continue her behavior.

But she was determined, and she gave birth to a daughter and a son for the Niu family's second son, who hasn't even gotten married yet!

With a son and a daughter to support her, Mrs. Niu and the others couldn't easily get rid of Mrs. Zhang. Moreover, if they did, they would have to find another wife for their second son, which would cost money.

So, Mrs. Fang began a battle of wits with Mrs. Zhang, with one trying to hide things and the other trying to steal them, causing chaos from time to time.

Mrs. Fang intentionally brought up this matter, which hit Mrs. Niu hard.

Seeing her speechless with anger, Mrs. Fang arrogantly glared at Mrs. Xu and said impatiently, "What are you still standing here for? Huh?"

Mrs. Xu, seeing her mother-in-law's fierce attitude, was already scared and stammered, "Yes, mother, I... I'll go wash the clothes first, I'll go now..."

Mrs. Xu fled in embarrassment.

Although her mother-in-law had never mistreated her or caused trouble for her without reason, for some reason, Mrs. Xu was terrified of her. When her mother-in-law looked stern, she didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Mrs. Niu finally calmed down and trembled as she said, "Don't get too cocky! Who knows what kind of person your new daughter-in-law is? Maybe you've invited a goddess home, and we won't be able to touch her. We'll have to treat her with respect, and then we'll be the ones who look foolish!"

Before the marriage, Mrs. Fang might have been worried, but now? Of course, she had nothing to worry about!

She sneered, "Alright, I'll wait for you to see the joke! As long as you can laugh!"

With that, she ignored Mrs. Niu and walked away.

Mrs. Niu sighed in frustration, "That Mrs. Fang is so arrogant! Hmph, what's there to be proud of? As long as my husband still supports us, what does it matter how tough you are? We still have to listen to my husband! He's the head of the family!"

Yes, she was really confused. She shouldn't have argued with Mrs. Fang in the first place.

Mrs. Niu thought to herself that she needed to discuss with her husband and also talk to her third sister-in-law, Mrs. Ma. It just so happened that their fourth son was about to get married, and their daughter Meiling was also about to be married. The betrothal gifts and dowry were still undecided!

The eldest son's marriage to Mrs. Qiao had brought them wealth, so they should help out, right?

Feeling triumphant, Mrs. Niu muttered to herself as she went to find Mrs. Ma in the third room...
