Chapter 8 Seeking Justice from Mother-in-law

“Mother won’t hit you anymore, she will also give you enough to eat and wear warm clothes…” Lin Yuexi said, stroking the little girl’s head. “Really…” The two little ones asked, not believing it. Just then, the door creaked open, and the eldest sister-in-law, Li Xiuyin, came in with half a bowl of thin porridge.

Seeing Lin Yuexi awake, her face changed slightly, she snorted coldly, “Oh, you’re awake? I thought you were going to sleep for a lifetime, here, drink this porridge quickly, don’t waste food.” Lin Yuexi looked up, her eyes cold as she looked at her, she didn’t reach out to take it.

Li Xiuyin felt a little uneasy under her gaze, she became angry and said, “What? I give you porridge and you don’t drink it, do you want to eat fish and meat instead?” Lin Yuexi slowly got up, looked straight at her, and said in a deep voice, “Sister-in-law, don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve been stealing my food these past few days! Is this little bit of porridge enough for the three of us?” Li Xiuyin heard this, feeling something was wrong. Lin Yuexi was usually a quiet person, she wouldn’t fight back, she wouldn’t talk back, she would only vent her anger on the two children, anyone could bully her.

Today, the sun must have risen from the west, she actually talked back! I should have eaten all the porridge at noon today, and let the three of them starve to death. Li Xiuyin widened her eyes, as if she had heard something absurd, her face instantly turned a liver color, she yelled in anger, “You shameless slut, you dare to slander me! I kindly send you porridge, and you slander me, I’ve been feeding you, a freeloader, all this time, you’ve really grown into a white-eyed wolf!” As she spoke, she pretended to throw the porridge bowl to the ground, as if that would also smash Lin Yuexi’s momentum.

 Lin Yuexi didn’t move, a sneer curled on her lips, her eyes like sharp blades pierced straight into Li Xiuyin, “Sister-in-law, don’t pretend here, you’ve been secretly eating our food while I’ve been sick these past few days, thinking no one saw it? I’m still sick, but the children are crying from hunger, the crying spreads out, can’t others hear it? If you really want to make a fuss, let everyone come and judge, see how you bully your sister-in-law and nephew and niece…

” Li Xiuyin’s heart skipped a beat, she had indeed been selfish, thinking that she could get away with it by taking advantage of Lin Yuexi’s weakness and submissiveness, but who would have thought that she would be a different person today. But she was unwilling to give in easily, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “Hmph, don’t scare me with this! You’re just making things up, who will believe you? You say I stole food, do you have any evidence?

 No evidence, don’t slander me!” “Evidence, you want evidence, right? This bowl of porridge you brought is the evidence, come on, let’s go to mother and reason with her!…” Lin Yuexi held the bowl of porridge that Li Xiulan had brought with one hand, and pulled her towards the main room with the other. It was called the main room of the Lu family, but it was actually the three large tile houses built with Lu Cheng’s allowance.

When Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng got married, they lived in it. But later, when Lu Cheng went to the army and never came back, he never mentioned Lin Yuexi in his letters, sending money back. The couple felt that Lu Cheng didn’t want this wife anymore, so they boldly occupied the three large tile houses and drove the original Lin Yuexi to the old kitchen. Of course, the excuse they found was ridiculous, saying that the original Lin Yuexi was cheating, and the two children were not their Lu Cheng’s.

 The original Lin Yuexi, a useless thing, didn’t dare to say a word, so she moved in with the two children. And in her heart, she really resented Lu Cheng for making her pregnant and then ignoring her, she didn’t like the two children either, the Lu family bullied her, couldn’t she bully the two Lu family members she gave birth to? The original Lin Yuexi’s mentality, in today’s words, was really a bit perverted, as the saying goes, “Poor people must have something hateful about them!

” Lin Yuexi dragged Li Xiuyin towards the main room, Li Xiuyin stumbled along the way, constantly cursing, trying to shake off Lin Yuexi’s hand, but Lin Yuexi seemed to be determined today, the strength in her hands was surprisingly strong, her nails dug into Li Xiuyin’s flesh. “You crazy woman, let me go! You’ll get what’s coming to you when you get to mother’s!” Li Xiuyin yelled, but there was a hint of nervousness in her voice. They soon reached the door of the main room, Lin Yuexi kicked open the half-closed door, startling Liu Cuifang, who was leisurely cracking sunflower seeds inside.

 “You’re asking for it! So reckless!” Liu Cuifang’s eyes widened, when she saw Lin Yuexi and Li Xiuyin, her brows furrowed even tighter, “What’s going on? What’s all the noise?” Lin Yuexi slammed the porridge bowl heavily on the table, a few drops of porridge splashed out, she said coldly, “Mother, judge for yourself. Sister-in-law sends this half bowl of watery porridge every day, saying that you told her to give it to the three of us to fill our stomachs, but the children are thin as a rake, look, does this look like enough to eat? She’s deliberately trying to starve us to death!” Li Xiuyin immediately jumped up, pointing her finger at Lin Yuexi’s nose, “Mother, don’t listen to her nonsense!

 These past few days, I’ve been diligently serving this lazy woman as you instructed, and I’m still being wronged. She just can’t stand that I’m in your favor, she wants to slander me and take my place!” Liu Cuifang’s eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, she knew in her heart that Li Xiuyin must have stolen the food of the three of them while Lin Yuexi was sick, but she didn’t want to expose it in front of everyone, after all, her eldest daughter-in-law was the one who pleased her the most! And she had also given birth to a grandson for the Lu family.

As for the two little brats born to Lin Yuexi, it wasn’t even certain if they were her Lu Cheng’s children. So, she waved her hand impatiently, “Alright, alright, stop arguing here, it’s just a little bit of your food, is it worth making such a fuss? Besides, you don’t do any work all day, and you still want to eat well, you’re dreaming!” Lin Yuexi heard this, and her anger rose! This mother-in-law’s heart was really black! She made it sound so easy, it was just a little bit of her food, was it a big deal? But the original Lin Yuexi had been starved to death because she hadn’t eaten this little bit of food for a few days, and she was sick.

 If it weren’t for the fact that I had just poured a cup of spiritual spring water from the space while the children were not paying attention, I probably wouldn’t have made it here. Lin Yuexi’s chest heaved violently, her eyes were red with anger, she stared at Liu Cuifang, her gaze seemed to see through the extremely biased mother-in-law in front of her, “Mother, you make it sound so easy, I’m so hungry that my chest doesn’t touch my back. The children are also suffering, their faces are pale, they cry all day long and have no strength.

If I hadn’t held on for dear life these past few days, I’m afraid the Lu family would have lost three lives, and then the villagers’ saliva would drown our Lu family!” Lin Yuexi’s sudden assertiveness shocked Liu Cuifang, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered her cold and arrogant expression, threw the sunflower seeds in her hand on the table, raised her voice, “Don’t spread rumors here!

The Lu family’s affairs don’t concern you, don’t think that you can turn the world upside down by holding on to this little mistake of your sister-in-law, everyone in this family is taken care of by me, you’re just enjoying the fruits of my labor!”
