Chapter 78 -78 Misunderstanding (Part 1)
“What are you doing? I need to ask Xie Changgen and his family, what gives them the right to treat my younger sister like this? What did my sister do all these years to deserve their whole family ganging up on her and bullying her like this?”

Lu Aijiao was so angry that she couldn’t even bother to keep her voice down, feeling a throbbing pain at her temples. She was feeling unwell today and hadn’t left the house all afternoon, choosing to stay in and sleep, which is why she didn’t find out about this issue earlier. Now that she knew, she felt like she couldn’t take it anymore.
Normally, the calmer a person is, the more overwhelming it becomes when they truly get angry. Lu Aijiao pushed Xie Jiang aside, quickly got dressed, hastily tied up her hair, and immediately wanted to head out of the room. She felt she couldn’t stand it any longer and was adamant that she wouldn’t be able to calm down unless she went to give Xie Changgen a piece of her mind tonight.
Xie Jiang, with tears in his eyes, saw that he couldn’t stop his wife and quickly pulled on his pants, grabbing his sweatshirt to pull it over his head as he walked. He couldn’t let his wife storm over to Xie Changgen’s place alone.
At that moment, he truly regretted it; if he had known that his wife, who always had a good temperament, rarely raised her voice, and never really lost her temper, could be this furious, he definitely wouldn’t have told her about it so late at night.
At least he could have waited until tomorrow morning, right?
“Wife, wife, it’s already late. Let’s go tomorrow, okay? Early tomorrow, I won’t do anything else but accompany you first thing in the morning, alright?”
“What were you doing earlier? You should have told me as soon as you heard. Or maybe you could have gone over there and slapped him a few times, see if you could knock some sense into that bastard Xie Changgen, the useless piece of shit. He just watched as his mother and sister-in-law bullied someone, huh? Pah, I actually had some respect for his mother usually, turns out she’s just a fool, not even worth the respect of others.”
As Lu Aijiao talked, she started to cry, glaring fiercely at Xie Jiang, “You’re no good either. So, because Aimei isn’t your biological sister, you think it’s okay to ignore her suffering, is that it?”
“No, that’s not it, I, I only found out at dusk, right?” Xie Jiang said with a woeful expression. This was a disaster he hadn’t asked for, wasn’t it? What on earth got into Xie Changgen’s mother and sister-in-law to take such nonsense? And Xie Changgen too, he seemed sensible on a regular day, so why couldn’t he stand his ground at the crucial moment?
“What’s going on? Aijiao, did Dajiang bully you? Tell me, and I’ll help you teach him a lesson.”
With so much commotion, it was impossible for Lu Aijiao’s father-in-law Xie Qi and mother-in-law Luo Huizhen not to hear it. It wasn’t strange for other families to have arguments, but their daughter-in-law had never had a quarrel with their son since marrying into the family. So, they didn’t care about anything else at the moment and hurried out to see what was happening.
As soon as Luo Huizhen came out, she saw her daughter-in-law in tears, which startled her greatly. She slipped off a shoe and, without further ado, started attacking Xie Jiang with it, “Are you full and just looking for trouble? Tell me what you did to make your wife so upset. Let’s see if I don’t beat you to death for causing this mess.”
Luo Huizhen’s mind filled instantly with countless possibilities, and Xie Qi glared at his son, asking, “What on earth did you do?”
What did I do? Whom have I provoked now?
Xie Jiang was utterly aggrieved as he dodged his mother’s shoe and cried out, “It’s not me, it’s not me, it really has nothing to do with me…”
“If it’s not you, could it be that I upset your wife? You unfilial son, don’t tell me you’ve been messing around outside and your wife found out?” Luo Huizhen chased after Xie Jiang, her imagination running wilder with every step, convinced that this had to be the reason for her daughter-in-law’s distress.
Her anger surged, and what had started as a feint became real blows. Tears almost fell as she chased him, “What’s wrong with you? You have a nice home, a good wife, and children that you don’t cherish. Why do you have to follow those who mess around outside…”
“Mom, what are you talking about? It was Xie Changgen’s family who bullied Aimei, and Aijiao got angry and wanted to go have a look. I just stopped her because it was getting dark. Really, it has nothing to do with me.”
Hearing his mother getting more and more outrageous, Xie Jiang couldn’t care that he had taken a few hard hits, and hurried to clarify things. He had to joke, if he let his mother go on with her wild guesses, by tomorrow there would probably be another big “news” in the village.
“Really?” Luo Huizhen stopped what she was doing and looked at Lu Aijiao. Lu Aijiao nodded hurriedly, as she had just been stunned by her mother-in-law’s swift actions and hadn’t reacted at the moment.
“That’s a relief, that’s a relief.” Luo Huizhen shoved her shoes on and started scolding her son, “You see, you could have made it clear with just a few words. Now you’ve nearly scared me to death.”
“Pfft.”
The commotion grew louder, and Wei Shumei, Xie Jiang’s sister-in-law who came out to see what was happening, couldn’t help but laugh, quickly covering her mouth. Meanwhile, Xie Jiang’s brother Xie He gave her a glare and said to their mother, “Mom, you think too much, my big brother isn’t that kind of person.”
“You too, making a fuss without asking clearly.” Xie Qi also blamed Luo Huizhen.
“I was just afraid they were going down the wrong path,” Luo Huizhen also felt somewhat embarrassed for having misunderstood her eldest son.
“Both Mom and Dad blame me. I had just heard about my second sister’s situation and got emotional without thinking and ran out,” Lu Aijiao had calmed down after the commotion with her mother-in-law and was grateful for her mother-in-law’s protective actions, regardless of how much exaggeration there was in them.
“What happened with your second sister?” Everyone’s eyes turned toward her.
Anger spread across Lu Aijiao’s face again, and Xie Jiang quickly grabbed hold of her, fearing she would get agitated again. He simply explained the cause and effect himself.
“You know, a few days ago, when we all went back to Aijiao’s maternal home? In addition to the items we brought back, Aiguo also went to great lengths to get a few cans of milk powder for Dabao and Xiaobao. He said it’s specifically beneficial for Dabao and Xiaobao to drink, and that older children wouldn’t get any nutrition from it even if they did drink it.”
But before Xie Jiang could finish his words, his mother and sister-in-law interjected.
“Tsk, so Lu Aiguo actually got milk powder for Dabao and Xiaobao? How did he manage that?” Luo Huizhen exclaimed after hearing this.
“Exactly, the brother of my big sister-in-law is really capable. The many things he brought back the other days were already impressive. The chocolate that Jifu brought back, it looked all dark; the other day, he gave each of us a piece. Tsk, I’ve never tasted anything that delicious in my life.”
Talking about her son Xie Manfu’s recent clinginess to his cousin Xie Jifu, Wei Shumei laughed cheerfully, “Our Manfu is now fixated on following his brother around, afraid of missing out on the chocolate whenever his brother eats it.”
The younger brother usually liked to play with his elder brother, but it hadn’t reached the extreme of these past few days—every day, as soon as he opened his eyes, he would look for his brother and stick to him inseparably.
