Chapter 38 The Truth Behind the Sisters-in-Law's Falling Out

Tian Yunzhen didn't understand. The second son's family went on a blind date today, and the third son's daughter-in-law had a miscarriage. Both families were in trouble, but how come her youngest daughter-in-law got into a fight with the third son's family?

Ling Jiuyue had a guess in her mind: "Aunt, let's go and see her quickly. Second Sister-in-law's health isn't very good; we don't want her to suffer!"

Sun Yulan was also puzzled. Ling Jianjun's wife, Ma Xiaolan, was a pretty girl who always spoke softly and rarely argued with anyone, let alone fought.

When the three arrived at Ling Guorong's house, they saw Ma Xiaolan and Ling's third aunt pulling each other's hair, their eyes already bloodshot.

Tian Yunzhen hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Aunt Ling away, and slapped her across the face.

"Chen Hongmei, if Xiaolan has offended you in any way, you can't tell me or your older brother! You're going to hit her! You're an elder, how can you hit a junior? Have you no shame?!"

Tian Yunzhen didn't really like her youngest daughter-in-law, Ma Xiaolan. She was weak and had a gentle nature. Although she didn't like her, Ling Sanshen hitting her daughter-in-law was like slapping her in the face.

Aunt Ling, Chen Hongmei, with her hair disheveled, cried and cursed, "Tian Yunzhen, have some sense! It was your little wife who suddenly barged in and hit me!"

Sun Yulan couldn't stand these words: "Third brother's wife, you need to have evidence for your words! Xiaolan is such a gentle person, how could she possibly lay a hand on you!"

Chen Hongmei retorted angrily, "You don't believe me? Go ask the old lady! She saw it with her own eyes!"

Sun Yulan then noticed that the old woman with bound feet had fallen down in the vegetable garden, her bound feet stuck in the gap of the fence, like an old turtle with its belly up, unable to get up for a long time.

Ling Jiuyue also thought it looked very similar and wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that the old lady would embarrass her too much and cause trouble for her father later.

The old lady was already very angry: "You brat, why aren't you helping me up? What are you standing there like a log for?!"

Ling Jiuyue suppressed a laugh: "Grandma, you're already this old, and you still fell to the ground in such a posture. Could it be that you did something wrong, and God is punishing you?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaolan became agitated.

"Yes, that old hag did something wicked. She's inhuman; she'll get her comeuppance sooner or later!"

Tian Yunzhen never expected that her seemingly gentle daughter-in-law would become so ruthless when she got angry, even directly attacking the old lady.

Although she also disliked the old woman, she was still Ling Guotai and Ling Guosheng's biological mother. If she went too far, the two brothers would feel bad.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's your grandma!"

As she spoke, she winked at Ma Xiaolan, implying that she was going to curse her. But if you curse her behind her back, it will give others cause for gossip and you won't be in the right.

Ma Xiaolan's lips trembled with anger: "Mom, we always thought Second Aunt reported Jianjun for being beaten back then, but this... this actually has nothing to do with Second Aunt!"

Sun Yulan was taken aback. Why bring up the past again?

Tian Yunzhen said awkwardly, "Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about this anymore, that it's all in the past..."

"No!" Ma Xiaolan cried, tears streaming down her face. "It wasn't Second Aunt, it was Chen Hongmei! It was Chen Hongmei who snitched! She couldn't stand that I had a child back then, she was just trying to ruin our family!"

Tian Yunzhen looked at Chen Hongmei in disbelief: "Chen Hongmei, did you really do this?"

She didn't believe Sun Yulan was behind it back then, but at the time, only she and Sun Yulan knew about it, and she couldn't understand who else would do such a thing.

But Chen Hongmei... how did she know?

Ma Xiaolan cried sadly: "Mom, that idiot Jianjun, he brought the old lady a bowl of soup with five dumplings in it, and the old lady turned around and took the dumplings to Ling Jianping."

When Chen Hongmei saw the dumplings, she immediately knew what had happened. She assumed that Jianjun had brought back flour, which both our family and my second aunt's family had eaten, but we had kept it a secret from them. Then, they turned around and reported us!

Tian Yunzhen was stunned on the spot.

Sun Yulan was stunned. She couldn't understand who had reported this, but she never expected that someone would actually eat the dumplings.

She didn't even get a sip of soup, and was instead wrongly accused and killed.

But why hasn't anyone at the brigade headquarters brought this up all these years?

Ma Xiaolan was still crying: "The accountant Zhang Dejun that Chen Hongmei found, back then, didn't he want our little sister to marry his youngest son?"

"Mom, you disagreed, so he held a grudge. Chen Hongmei said Jianjun stole flour; he only took one and a half jin, but he reported it as five jin. That's why Jianjun... Jianjun got beaten up like that!"

Tian Yunzhen was furious. She rushed over, grabbed Chen Hongmei by the hair, and started beating her.

"You shameless bastard! You were the one who snitched, colluded with others to harm my son, and even deliberately told me you saw my second brother's wife go to the village chief's house. We're all family, how could you be so vicious!"

I was so angry at the time that I lost my mind, but now that I think about it, there's nothing I don't understand.

The village chief's wife's family is from the same village as Chen Hongmei's family. It's not surprising that she deliberately said a few things to arouse suspicion.

Sun Yulan also joined in, tearing at Chen Hongmei: "You damned bastard, you've made me take the blame for five years! I'll rip your mouth apart!"

Chen Hongmei was beaten so badly by the two that her nose and mouth were covered in blood.

"Who gave you permission to eat alone? You knew my Jianping wasn't feeling well at the time, yet you secretly made dumplings and didn't even let me have a drop of the soup. Why shouldn't I say anything!"

Her words made Sun Yulan and Tian Yunzhen even angrier.

With only 1.5 pounds of flour, I only managed to make a few dumplings. Who ate them?

For the sake of just one bite of food, she caused her two sisters-in-law to not speak to each other for five years; it's an absolutely heinous crime.

Ling Jiuyue looked at the old lady who was ignored by everyone and said, "Grandma, I only made thirteen dumplings in total. My sister-in-law ate eight of them, and my second brother risked his life to bring the rest to you."

"And what have you done? Your second brother showed you such kindness, and you turned around and betrayed him! So, Jianping is your grandson, but Jianjun isn't?"

Tian Yunzhen ripped a lock of Chen Hongmei's hair and spat at the old lady.

"Your own grandson treats you like a grandmother, but you treat him like a Japanese soldier. Since you like the third son's family so much, you can live with them from now on. If you ever come to my house again, I'll chase you away with a big broom!"

"And don't come to my house!" Sun Yulan's eyes were filled with disgust. "Didn't you complain that I gave birth to three daughters? Then don't come to my house, lest you bring bad luck to your parents!"

After leaving Ling Guorong's house, Tian Yunzhen said awkwardly, "Yulan, I'm so sorry, back then..."

"Hmph!" Sun Yulan tossed her head. "You've resented me for five years, and I, Sun Yulan, am so magnanimous! You, Tian Yunzhen, can make it all disappear with a simple 'sorry,' as if nothing ever happened!"

Tian Yunzhen felt bitter; this was all her fault.

That evening, Sun Yulan told Ling Guosheng about it.

"Tell me, we've kept this a secret for five years, why did it all come out today?"
