Bad Intention

Her sister-in-law was so generous and the husband was now the Cultivated Talent. He was surely going to become better and bring more honor to the family. No, he was not a selfish and cold-hearted man.

She decided to treat the couple well, so she could have a better future with them too!

Before her sister-in-law came to the family, she was the one who did all the housework. So there was no need to be sour about this. After all, she was the daughter of the County Magistrate!

As Ms. Xu thought everything through, she even fastened her steps on the way to wash clothes by the riverside.

However, on the way there, she ran into Ms. Niu. She greeted her and said, "Hey, sister-in-law!"

"Oh hi." Ms.Niu had been really sour about the newly-wedded bride the day before, and when she saw the sets of dowries carried into the house, she became so jealous that she hardly slept during the night.

Therefore, when Ms. Niu ran into Ms. Xu at the moment, her eyes brightened and she decided to pick on this woman in front of her.

"Are you on the way to wash the clothes?" Ms. Niu sized up Ms. Xu and smiled. "Honestly, you should teach some things to the newly-wedded sister-in-law! You should bring her along with you for the housework."

Ms. Xu was startled for a moment and then replied with a smile. "I don't think she has any clothes to wash today. I will ask her tomorrow."

Ms.Niu replied. "She doesn't have any clothes to wash? But she can help you, can't she? Oh my god, look at these many clothes. Are all of them to be washed by you alone? You were doing the housework all by yourself in the past, but now you have a helper, who should share your burden, right? Doesn't your mother-in-law say anything? It is such an unfair move for you!"

"You are just too conventional! You are her elder sister-in-law, and also the senior member of the family. Now Ms. Qiao is married to our family, so no matter which family she comes from, she should still respect you! Well, I think that she is looking down on you!"

"You should build an image for yourself and tame her! Otherwise, she will act over the top and cause you trouble. You won't like it! Trust me, you are too honest and you will be bullied! I care for you, that is why I am reminding you!"

Ms. Niu was in the middle of her happy talk, when suddenly a loud voice arose from behind. "What are you talking about?"

Ms. Niu and Ms. Xu were both startled, as they turned around and saw Ms. Fang coming their way.

Ms. Xu was surprised and was about to give an explanation. "Mom, I…"

"Stand aside!" Ms. Fang snorted as she threw a cold glance at Ms. Xu.

She sneered at Ms. Niu. "What are you sharing with my daughter-in-law? How about repeating it in front of me, so I can also learn something from you to see what mistakes I have made, which you are trying to teach my daughter-in-law!"

Ms. Xu flushed, not knowing what to do.

Ms. Niu panicked but soon calmed down, thinking that her sister-in-law was talking louder and looking excited. Could it be because they got the daughter of the County Magistrate as the daughter-in-law?

The thought made her feel even more sour…

As jealousy arose into her head, Ms. Niu felt even more envious and she responded with a strange smile. "Look at you, it seems as if you are interrogating me! People might think that I have made a mistake. You are now the County Magistrate's in-laws, and you have suddenly become very arrogant. You don't even think of me as part of your family any more, do you?"

"Stop spreading your nonsense!" Ms. Fang snapped at her and cursed heavily. "I know you are just jealous! I heard those disgusting words you said yesterday, but it was a happy and auspicious wedding scene where friends and families were all around, so I decided not to argue with you at the time! Does that make you feel as if nothing was heard by me? Yes, I am arrogant, so what? You can be arrogant too, if you can afford it! If you can't, just shut up!"

Ms. Niu's face flushed out of anger. "You…"
