Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 82: Chapter 082: Make a Bet_1

“Aunt Yuan, the way you are now driving me away, will later become the same way you beg me to return! If you don’t believe me, we can make a bet.”

Yuan Xueshan gritted her teeth and said fiercely: “Stop dreaming! You want to find an opportunity to continue mooching off our home, there’s no chance.”

“Good! Very good.” Her delicate face slowly turned cold, “Today is the last time I set foot in the Huo Family residence, and I will never step foot in it again.”

“Hmph! It’s about time you understood. It’s perfect if you don’t come. Seeing you annoys me.”

Even the best of tempers would have run out of patience by now, let alone Nanfei, who was not a person with a good temper to begin with. It’s just that she had been through a lot in her past life, and made great efforts to make her own mind broad-minded.

Since Yuan Xueshan repeatedly insulted her and refused to let her go, she would not continue to endure.

“Granny Huo, Mrs. Huo.” Nanfei took two steps back and shouted loudly, “Granny Huo, have you been locked up by your daughter-in-law? I didn’t expect that the principal’s daughter-in-law would be so unfilial. Granny Huo, can you hear my voice? Are you being kept at home by your daughter-in-law, not being allowed to go out?”

As soon as Yuan Xueshan heard these words, she nearly fainted from anger. She raised her hand, wanting to stop her from speaking further, but was agilely avoided by Nanfei.

“Stop talking! Stop spouting nonsense!” It was bad enough being shamed in the countryside yesterday, but now it was at her own doorstep. If her neighbors found out, she wouldn’t be able to show her face in public.

How dare this unlucky girl try to sling mud at her, implying she was unfilial!

Those gossipy women love spreading rumors, even if they’re not true. But once said aloud today, they will surely become ‘fact’!

“Stop talking! Stop speaking.” Yuan Xueshan’s face turned pale from fear, she had completely lost her previous momentum, “Stop speaking, I’ll go call someone for you, isn’t that enough?”

Nanfei paused and looked at her coldly, “Too bad it’s already too late.”

It was breakfast time and Nanfei was shouting so loudly, that neighbors from all sides were drawn out. These neighbors already had a mediocre relationship with Yuan Xueshan, and seeing such a ruckus, they wouldn’t possibly miss out.

Within three minutes, the entrance to the Huo residence was completely blocked by people. Pointing and whispering, the neighbors looked at Yuan Xueshan as if she was an unfilial daughter-in-law who tortured her mother-in-law. No need to explain; they already deemed her guilty.

“You… You…” Yuan Xueshan pointed at Jiang Nanfei, her eyes rolled back, and she fell backwards, only to be quickly supported by someone in the crowd.

Surprise flickered in Nanfei’s eyes – was Yuan Xueshan really passing out from anger? How unexpected! Nanfei remembered from her past life that Yuan Xueshan had always been a formidable opponent, having suffered countless times at her hands.

“Mom!” Huo Jinlan’s panicked scream immediately attracted everyone’s attention. She ran out of the courtyard in her slippers, roughly pushed aside the person who was supporting Yuan Xueshan, and held her in her own arms.

Kneeling on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, she accurately found Jiang Nanfei in the crowd.

“It’s all because of you!” She pointed a finger, “You’ve already broken off your engagement with my brother, why can’t you leave us alone? Why are you so vicious?”

This accusation was a bolt from the blue. Anyone with even slightly weaker mental strength would either end up brawling with Huo Jinlan or stand helplessly among the crowd, speechless.

The corners of Nanfei’s mouth curled up, forming a beautiful arc. Her friendly smile didn’t incite the onlookers to attack her, as Huo Jinlan had imagined.

The cunning and triumphant look hidden in her eyes turned into an unbearable distortion as things had not developed as she had anticipated.
