"Isn't it just a bowl of chicken soup? Is there any need to make such a fuss? Sister Yun, come and clean it up!" Kang Zhenguo glanced at his wife and frowned slightly.
"It sounds so easy when you say it, why don't you try making a bowl of chicken soup? I spent three hours making it, and she made it like this just by climbing the stairs. Do you think it's easy for me? I served this and that, and she came back to do nothing but bring me a bowl of chicken soup. What's wrong with that?" When Liu Xiaoyun heard her husband siding with Yu Xiao, she got even angrier.
"Look at yourself, do you still act like a mother-in-law? Serving this and that, who have you been serving? If you feel that there are not enough people at home, just hire a few more servants. Xiaoxiao, go upstairs!" Old Master Kang had a dark face, and his daughter-in-law's words made him look unhappy.
"Dad, I just said a few words to her, I didn't say anything!" Liu Xiaoyun's tone softened after hearing what her father-in-law said.
"Xiaoxiao, go back to your room first!" Kang Zhenguo waved at Yu Xiao, indicating that she should go back to her room first.
Yu Xiao pursed her lips, looked at her mother-in-law's unhappy expression, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went upstairs to her room on the third floor.
When she was about to reach the door of the bedroom, she saw Kang Shaoxi leaning against the wall of the corridor with her arms folded, squinting her eyes and looking coldly at Yu Xiao who was getting closer and closer. Yu Xiao didn't want to pay attention to her, and wanted to go back to her bedroom by stepping over her body, but just as she missed Kang Shaoxi's body, she felt something tripped her feet, and Yu Xiao lost her balance, and her body instantly fell forward, hitting the ground heavily, making her dizzy.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xiao was really furious. She knew without thinking that it was Kang Shaoxi who did it on purpose. She supported herself with her arms and sat up, looking at Kang Shaoxi and yelling. This was really intolerable! She was addicted to bullying herself!
Kang Shaoxi looked at Yu Xiao on the ground and sneered. He pulled the corner of his lips and said coldly: "I really didn't expect that someone like you would report the scandal to Shen Yimo. It's not enough to seduce my eldest brother, you also seduce Xinrou's eldest brother, you shameless vixen!"
This afternoon, when she went to Shen Yimo's office with Shen Xinrou, she found out that Shen Yimo already knew that Yu Xiao was her sister-in-law, which made her very embarrassed and she couldn't say a word. So when she came back today, she vented all her anger on Yu Xiao.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who seduced him? Can you please be reasonable?" After hearing Kang Shaoxi's false accusations, Yu Xiao ignored the pain in his legs, stood up from the floor, and angrily tried to reason with Kang Shaoxi.
"You seduced him! You seduced him! You vixen! You shameless vixen!" Kang Shaoxi became more and more excited as she spoke. She moved closer to Yu Xiao while cursing her, forcing her into a corner. Looking at Yu Xiao's face, she angrily raised her hand and hit Yu Xiao.
"Hey, what are you doing? If you keep doing this, I'm going to fight back!" Yu Xiao was forced with nowhere to hide and kept protecting her face with both hands, but Kang Shaoxi was completely indifferent to her tolerance. Looking at his expression, he wanted to tear Yu Xiao to pieces.
"I'll let you go out and seduce men with this face!" Yu Xiao's concession made Kang Shaoxi more and more arrogant. He stretched out his hand towards Yu Xiao while cursing. Yu Xiao failed to block it. Kang Shaoxi's long nails scratched his face, causing a sharp pain. Yu Xiao was so angry that he used all his strength to push Kang Shaoxi out. There was a loud bang. Kang Shaoxi was caught off guard and was pushed backwards by Yu Xiao. His head hit the ground heavily.
The fall was really heavy. Kang Shaoxi was dizzy for a short time. After she came to her senses, she was completely enraged. She stood up quickly from the ground and reached out to grab Yu Xiao. She knew that Kang Shaoxi would not show mercy. Yu Xiao fought with her. She had endured for too long. Even rabbits will bite when they are angry. This time, she didn't want to be tolerant anymore.
When the two people were fighting, the door of the bedroom next door opened. Ai Qi was awakened from her sleep, ran out and saw two people fighting. She hurried over to pull the two people apart, but concerned about her own health, she went downstairs to call for help. Before she reached the stairs, she saw her mother-in-law Liu Xiaoyun coming up. She wanted to teach Yu Xiao a lesson because of the chicken soup incident just now. When she saw her daughter being beaten, she immediately became furious. She walked over angrily, stretched out her hand to pull the two people apart, and raised her hand to slap Yu Xiao, but was stopped by Ai Qi.
"Mom, let's talk it out nicely! If you start to fight, it will all be Shaoxi's fault!" Ai Qi couldn't bear to watch the mother and daughter bullying Yu Xiao.
Liu Xiaoyun glanced at Ai Qi, the corner of her mouth moved, and she took her hand back. She looked at her daughter with heartache first. Kang Shaoxi's face was scratched by Yu Xiao in several places, and her nose was bleeding. She looked very embarrassed. Kang Shaoxi had never been beaten like this before. Liu Xiaoyun frowned in anger and pointed at Yu Xiao and cursed: "Do you think there is a sister-in-law like you? You have only been in the Kang family for a few days, and you are so arrogant? Look at Ai Qi, are you qualified to be a sister-in-law? Shaoxi, let's go down and let your grandfather judge. If he doesn't give you justice today, Mom will go to the army to find your eldest brother! Let's go!" After Liu Xiaoyun said that, she pulled Kang Shaoxi downstairs.
Ai Qi stopped her mother-in-law immediately: "Mom, just look at the wound on Shaoxi's face. Look at Xiaoxiao's face, it's not much better than Shaoxi's. Although Xiaoxiao is the eldest sister-in-law, she is the same age as Shaoxi, so it's inevitable that the two of them will quarrel. If you really go downstairs to find grandpa, Shaoxi will definitely be scolded. Because this is on the third floor, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shaoxi is here to cause trouble for the eldest sister-in-law, don't you think?"
Kang Shaoxi was unhappy when she heard this. She looked at Ai Qi with her hair in disarray: "Second sister-in-law, which side are you on?"
"I'm not standing on either side. I'm worried that if I really go downstairs, grandpa will ask you what you are doing upstairs. How will you answer?" Ai Qi smiled, looked at Kang Shaoxi and asked slowly.
Kang Shaoxi curled the corners of his mouth but didn't answer.
Seeing her daughter not speaking, Liu Xiaoyun felt a lot more breathless. She stared at her daughter and asked, "Speak!"
Kang Shaoxi pursed his lips and looked at Yu Xiao's angry answer: "I just don't like her!"
"You silly girl, you have nothing to do after eating, right? Get downstairs!" When Liu Xiaoyun heard her daughter's words, she knew that her daughter came to cause trouble for Yu Xiao, so she couldn't say anything else. She pulled her daughter's arm hard and took Kang Shaoxi away.
Yu Xiao stood against the wall, biting her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she managed not to cry. She knew clearly what had happened before, and tears were nothing in front of the mother and daughter.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you?" As soon as Liu Xiaoyun and her daughter left, Ai Qi came over and reached out to tidy up her messy hair.
"I'm fine!" Ai Qi's words made Yu Xiao's tears burst out all of a sudden. She shook her head with sobs and turned to go back to her room, but Ai Qi reached out and held her back.
"Come, let me apply some anti-inflammatory medicine for you!" Ai Qi pulled her into the bedroom without saying a word, pressed her down on the sofa, opened the cupboard, took out the anti-inflammatory ointment, and walked in front of Yu Xiao.
"Thank you!" Tears couldn't stop falling. Yu Xiao stretched out her hand and kept wiping her tears, feeling indescribably aggrieved in her heart.
"What are you thanking me for? Now that we're in this house, aren't we all one family?" Ai Qi answered softly while applying the cotton ball to her. She had just left late and didn't know why the two of them had fought, but she was furious when she saw her mother-in-law Liu Xiaoyun protecting her daughter.
"But... I don't feel like I'm a member of this family." Yu Xiao answered with a sob.
"Alas, Shaoxi just bullies you because your eldest brother is not at home. If your eldest brother went to get off work and came home every day like Shaobei, I tell you, she would not dare to fight with you even if she had ten times the courage. Although you were beaten badly by her today, you are also very strong. I guess she won't be able to go out and see people for a while with that face." Ai Qi couldn't help laughing when she said this.
Kang Shaoxi wasn't in much better condition just now. Her hair was messy and her face was scratched by Yu Xiao. When Yu Xiao pushed her, there was probably a bump on the back of Kang Shaoxi's head, so she wasn't in much better condition either.
Yu Xiao was amused by her words and laughed. Thinking of what happened just now, he was still very angry: "I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I took action!"
"I'm telling you, it's the right thing to do today! Although you didn't get any advantage, if you don't fight back today, she will beat you a second and third time. Anyway, she thinks you're easy to bully. But after this time, she'll have to think twice before she wants to do it again, okay? Xiaoxiao, what I hate most is people bullying the weak. Many people are like this. The more you tolerate, the more others think you're weak and can be bullied. If you confront him head-on, he'll give in to you. So if this happens again in the future, fight back like you did today."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you so much!" Yu Xiao looked at Ai Qi gratefully, feeling very lucky to have such a reasonable sister-in-law.
"You're being polite to me again. In fact, you don't have to be afraid of her at all. After all, a girl like Kang Shaoxi is a fool for bullying you like this today. Do you know why?"
Yu Xiao shook his head stupidly: "I don't know."
Ai Qi smiled, held her shoulders and said, "Although she is the daughter of this family, she will have to get married one day. Now that things are so bad with her sister-in-law, how can she have the face to come back in the future? If I were her, I would definitely not do this. Having two sisters-in-law and so many brothers who spoil her is such a good thing. So I think she will regret it one day in the future."
"Yeah, you're right!" Yu Xiao nodded in understanding. After being comforted by Ai Qi, she didn't feel so bad anymore.
"When it's time for dinner, go down and eat well. Don't feel like you owe her anything. She was the one who caused trouble for you first! If you act strong today, she won't be so overbearing in the future." (To be continued)
