Chapter 2307: Chapter 2307: The Quarreling Sisters-in-Law
Once, Shu Yu was just a third daughter, unloved by her parents, often abused by the concubine, and none of her siblings cared for her, living a life full of hardships.
But now, she is the county magistrate, with a talented and handsome husband guarding her, a clever and loyal maid attending to her, and a title that is both feared and envied. She wears exquisite clothes and a valuable pearl hairpin, exuding nobility in every gesture. Standing before someone like this, the youngest daughter suddenly felt exceptionally humiliated.
Especially Shu Yu’s words, ’the freedom to go wherever I want,’ made her fists clench tightly and eyes filled with hatred.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Her eyes turned fiery red, her voice gloomy, "What are you so proud about?"
Shu Yu, "..."
She found it amusing, "Indeed, what is there for me to be proud of in front of you, it doesn’t give me any sense of accomplishment."
"You..." The youngest daughter’s tears fell like raindrops.
Shu Yu was surprised, turned to look at Meng Yunzheng, "Did I say something very excessive just now? Why does she look like I bullied her?"
Meng Yunzheng tucked the strand of hair on her cheek behind her ear, smiled, "No, maybe she feels she’s unable to face you now due to previously bullying you at the Shu family, making her feel ashamed."
Shu Yu suddenly understood, "I see."
The youngest daughter, "You are too much!"
Her scream instantly opened a nearby courtyard door.
Ms. Wu walked out from inside, "Big Sister, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
The youngest daughter saw her and became even angrier, especially seeing her appear in front of Shu Yu and call her Big Sister, made her feel extremely humiliated for a moment.
So she directly aimed her anger at Ms. Wu, "Why are you coming out? Have you finished all the housework? You just know how to be lazy every day, my brother marrying you is truly an eighth-life misfortune."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, "..."
Onlooking villagers, "..."
Ms. Wu, "..." Her face suddenly turned dark.
Previously, it was nothing, being married for two years without having children was her fault. But ever since Shu Quan ’enlightened’ her, she felt that every time the Shu family took advantage of situations to scold her was due to her guilt, suddenly bolstering her confidence.
Moreover, this was outside, with the Big Sister scolding her like this in front of everyone, Ms. Wu was not truly without temper, she retorted angrily, "I am lazy? I am working myself to exhaustion every day serving your brother, your Mother, and even have to serve you, right? With such a bad temper, no wonder no one wants you."
"What did you say?" The youngest daughter rushed forward, looking like she was about to fight with Ms. Wu.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, this aunt and sister-in-law pair have been arguing for so long, and no one from the Shu family came out, it seems the others were not at home.
Since that’s the case, they did not stay longer.
The farce behind them continued, but Shu Yu and the others had already walked onto another road, heading towards the Xu Family.
Before reaching the Xu Family’s door, they saw someone rushing over.
Shu Yu felt the person looked familiar, until his unmistakable voice sounded, "Sister Lu."
Shu Yu was not quite certain, "Xu Zhensheng?"
The young man opposite scratched his head, "It’s me."
When Shu Yu first met Xu Zhensheng, he was just ten years old, a silent, skinny little boy.
Now, five years have passed, although still skinny, his height has suddenly shot up, matching Shu Yu’s.
