Chapter 79 -79 Misunderstanding (Part 2)

For Lu Aiguo, the Xie family members were all extremely familiar with him because Lu Aiguo would occasionally visit Xie family village, never arriving empty-handed. There was not a single person in Xie Jiang’s household who didn’t like him.

Moreover, whenever Lu Aiguo brought tasty treats for his little nephew Xie Jifu, he would also bring some for Xie Manfu, albeit not as much as for Xie Jifu. However, Wei Shumei was still full of gratitude whenever she mentioned him.

She was not like the muddle-headed sisters-in-law in Lu Aimei’s home. Their children were not related to Lu Aiguo at all. It was enough that Lu Aiguo would share treats with her own nephews, and every time he also gave some to her children; that was already a huge favor for which she should be grateful. Why should she complain about unfairness in what was given?

“I’d say Jifu is very generous too, just like his uncle. He’s always willing to share with his brother. If it were any other kid, that would hardly be possible. I even heard him say to his brother the other day, like a little adult, ‘You can’t eat too much at once, his aunt said it’s bad to overeat.’ Seriously, it was hilarious,” Wei Shumei praised without end.

“Isn’t that right? They say a nephew is like his uncle. If in the future Jifu can have even half his uncle’s skill, that would be more than enough.” Luo Huizhen was also not stingy with her praise in front of her eldest daughter-in-law. After all, gratitude comes easily when one has benefitted. Without their help over the years, her own family would have definitely faced harder times.

Xie Jiang’s family also consisted of two brothers, with him being the elder. Their mother was the head of the house, but the two brothers got along very well, as did the sisters-in-law with each other, with no conflicts arisen. This was related not only to the fact that both sisters-in-law were not the aggressive type but also due to Luo Huizhen’s rational approach as a mother-in-law.

“Can you two please let me finish what I’m saying?” Xie Jiang felt helpless against his mother’s and sister-in-law’s topics derailing.

“Let the eldest finish talking before we say anything else,” Xie Qi also chimed in.

“You speak, you speak,” Luo Huizhen closed her mouth, followed by Wei Shumei also falling silent.

Only then did Xie Jiang continue, “I also heard about it when I came back last night. There was a scene at Xie Changgen’s place. After Aimei returned, she said that the milk powder was only for Dabao and Xiaobao. But her eldest sister-in-law didn’t agree, and seeing Aimei being so possessive, couldn’t do much.”

“This afternoon, Aimei had something to do and went out after preparing the milk powder and asking her mother-in-law to watch the kids drink it. However, her mother-in-law ended up giving the milk to Jiabao and the family wealth. Aimei discovered this on her way back, got angry, and after Jiabao finished the milk, she smashed the bottle right in front of them,” Xie Jiang said with a sigh. What were all these troubles?

“Then Aimei slapped the child, and her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law wouldn’t have it. They joined forces to turn on her. When Xie Changgen came back, he even took his mother’s and sister’s side, blaming Aimei for not being generous enough, which led to even more conflicts within the household.”

“Really? How could Xie Changgen become so confused? He usually seems like a clear-headed guy,” Luo Huizhen exclaimed, noting that her eldest daughter-in-law was so angry about this last night that she even thought about confronting them. The son didn’t keep it under control. It turned out she had added to the misunderstanding, and it all became such a mess.

She sighed and kindly spoke to Lu Aijiao, “Eldest daughter-in-law, anyone who hears about this will get angry. But now it’s late, and your sister has two small kids. If you go now, you might wake the children and scare them, which wouldn’t be good.”

“Let’s go talk to them tomorrow. And you shouldn’t go alone; let Dajiang come with you to prevent those people from acting foolish again. Having a man there can also be more persuasive. And we have a few others here as well. We’re family, and we’ll definitely stand on your side, right?”

“Mom…”

Tears began to fall from Lu Aijiao’s eyes once again.

“Big sister, don’t be too upset. I think Xie Changgen just didn’t think it through for a moment. He’ll come to his senses once he calms down.”

Wei Shumei didn’t know what to say anymore. She just felt that Lu Aimei was extremely unlucky, having met such a man. But Xie Changgen’s whole family was truly foolish. They encountered a daughter-in-law with such a generous family and still didn’t cherish it. Did they really think they were soft persimmons to be bullied like that?

“Let’s all go back to sleep. Listen to your mother; if there’s anything, we can talk about it after we get up tomorrow. It won’t be too late,” Xie Qi, the head of the family, spoke, and everyone went back to their rooms. This time, Lu Aijiao didn’t resist and let Xie Jiang pull her back to their room. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Xie Jiang first checked on his son, who was sound asleep in the other bed, then calmed down a bit and hugged Lu Aijiao, whispering, “It’s not that I intentionally didn’t tell you right away when I got back. I just didn’t find the chance to talk to you alone, you know? And I was thinking, no matter what, this matter could wait until tomorrow to be resolved. I didn’t expect you to be so anxious.”

“Are you blaming me now?” Lu Aijiao pushed him but couldn’t push him away, so she lowered her head and bit his arm. Xie Jiang grimaced in pain; his wife was really biting him, his whole face contorted with the pain.

“… Wife … let go … it hurts …”

Lu Aijiao tasted blood in her mouth and was startled, quickly letting go. She saw a bright red bite mark on Xie Jiang’s arm, with streaks of blood.

She immediately felt sorry for him and looked at him with teary eyes.

Xie Jiang sighed, realizing he wouldn’t be able to roll up his sleeves too high for a few days. He would also have to be careful not to let his parents see it when he showered.

He ground his teeth with hatred in his heart, directing it straight at Xie Changgen. If it weren’t for their family’s mess, would he have had such an unfortunate night, first being hit by his mother’s shoe sole and then bitten by his wife?

When he looked up and saw his wife’s tearful eyes, his heart softened, and he actually began to comfort, “It’s okay, it really doesn’t hurt. I was just making noise.”

And it’s bleeding, yet you say it doesn’t hurt?

Lu Aijiao was truly distressed, her tears falling steadily as she started to blame herself for not being calm.

“Alright, alright, I’m really fine, don’t cry. When you cry, it’s my heart that really hurts,” Xie Jiang clumsily wiped her tears, “Rest assured, I will find a chance to give Xie Changgen a private beating, and get back at him one way or another for you.”

“Let it be, don’t get yourself hurt too,” Lu Aijiao had calmed down by now, and her rationality had returned, so she naturally realized she had been too impulsive and unfairly angry. Hearing what Xie Jiang said, she started to worry that Xie Changgen would fight back, causing her own husband to suffer as well. After all, the two men were of similar build and strength; a fight wouldn’t necessarily end with her husband coming out on top.

The wife finally came around to care about him. Xie Jiang was delighted and easily swept past previous incidents, “Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll join forces with Aiguo and Aibing, three against one, we surely won’t be at a disadvantage.”

He couldn’t believe that the news wouldn’t stir the two brothers-in-law into action, wanting to give Xie Changgen a lesson too. He wasn’t embarrassed by the idea of a few against one; on the contrary, he was eager for the confrontation.

“When the time comes, hit him a few more times, but avoid the face,” Lu Aijiao said, thinking of her younger sister’s humiliation and feeling a hate so intense it made her teeth itch.

“Wife, just be assured, I know what to do,” Xie Jiang laughed ominously. He thought that if he didn’t repay the pain inflicted on his mother and wife tenfold back onto himself, he might as well take up Xie Changgen’s surname.
