Chapter 852: Supporting My Sister
Qiu Shaomei's words left no face at all for Qiu Shaohu and his wife.
Qiu Tainai also felt deeply ashamed, but she couldn't let outsiders keep laughing at them; she walked up to Liu Chuxue, took the biscuit box, and said, "Since this is Qiu Shaohu's family making trouble for no reason, let her handle the aftermath."
Saying this, she forcefully opened the biscuit box, saw the money notes tied with a rubber band inside, pulled out a ten-yuan bill directly, walked up to An Xiaojing's sister-in-law, and said, "Since Zhang Shanmei pities your child, let her handle the aftermath herself; consider this money a loan from her, and remember to repay it later."
The An family sister-in-law had come to borrow milk powder without intending to repay, but since the money was handed right to her, she naturally took it first: "Then I thank Qiu family Tainai, but having money without milk powder coupons won't work either."
Qiu Tainai's face darkened: "Now you are putting me in a difficult position. Milk powder coupons are so precious; how could they possibly have any? You must go home and have your family figure something out. After all, it is the An family's child; the An family cannot simply ignore it, can they?"
While saying this, she looked at An Xiaojing, who had remained silent all along, and her expression toward her was no better either; her own sister-in-law came to cause a scene, yet she didn't utter a single word—how could she have the nerve.
She didn't even think: after her natal family's sister-in-law caused such a scene, how would she get along with her in-laws in the future? Truly someone without a brain.
In the end, she was still petty; she probably wanted her natal family's sister-in-law to leave having gained an advantage, not expecting that Xia Qiu's natal family sister would show up just then.
She was old and couldn't manage so many things, but using today's incident to teach them a lesson was good, so they wouldn't become increasingly reckless and bring disaster upon the family later.
The An family sister-in-law was also a shrewd person; naturally, she knew when to stop.
She thanked Qiu family Tainai, took the money, left with a beaming smile, and even forgot to greet her sister-in-law.
Qiu Tainai glanced at her great-granddaughter-in-law and couldn't help but shake her head.
Zhang Shanmei saw Tainai actually giving away the money she had painstakingly saved: "Tainai, that was my private savings; how could you lend it out?"
Qiu Tainai turned and looked at her with cold eyes: "Wasn't your sister-in-law's milk powder bought with money? Didn't you still encourage people to come and borrow? Now that your money is lent out, you feel uncomfortable, you feel heartache?"
Zhang Shanmei wanted to say something more, but her mother-in-law pulled her: "Shut up, you shameless thing."
Qiu family's eldest uncle's wife finally saw it: Grandma's entire performance today was deliberate, meant to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that no one in the family would dare plot against the Qiu Shaofeng branch.
Thinking of Xia Qiu's natal family's current background, Qiu family's eldest uncle's wife, being someone who assessed the situation, also felt one really shouldn't plot against Qiu Shaofeng's wife.
Today, her natal family sister happened to show up; how could one not allow her to vent anger on behalf of her own sister? So her second daughter-in-law deserved it.
However, since it escalated to this point, she, as the mother-in-law, naturally couldn't ignore it: "Liu Chuxue, today's matter was indeed Qiu Shaohu's wife at fault first; you helping your sister vent anger was also correct. But since the anger has been vented, in consideration of the two families being in-laws, forgive her this once. Do you think that's acceptable?"
Hearing Qiu family's eldest uncle's wife say this, Liu Chuxue hadn't intended to keep holding onto it anyway; after all, she had made a scene, but her sister still had to live here: "Since my in-law's eldest uncle's wife has spoken thus, I cannot refuse to give face. However, I put my words here: my sister indeed has no biological brother to support her, but she has cousins, and at the very least, she has me, her younger sister. Whoever dares to plot against my sister again, don't blame me for being unforgiving to him/her."
