Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Hiding and Not Coming Out

Clearly, she was the one starting the fight! Yet she cries so miserably, who is she performing for?

Smack, Ho Laidi was hit on the back by another sandbag, causing her to scurry around in pain. However, the other end of the rope was tied to a tree, and even if she wanted to run inside, it was impossible. She was whipped by Chiang Xiao around the yard in a frenzy.

Ho Laidi felt pain on her body and in her heart, and even her face hurt!

When had she ever been bullied like this?

In Siyang Village, she had a reputation! No one could outswear her on the street, and even the young wives and old mothers were too scared to confront her!

Of course, what she felt most accomplished about was her dominance over Chiang Laoer’s family. Over the years, she could point her finger and curse at Chiang Laoer, Ge Liutao, and Chiang Xiao, and none of them dared to say back even half a word.

Ho Laidi felt she had great authority in this family.

Especially when Chiang Songhai addressed her as ’Sister-in-law,’ it truly felt like ’the elder sister-in-law is like a mother!’ Whatever she said, Chiang Songhai had to obey!

In the beginning, when it came to Chiang Qingzhu’s issue, Chiang Songhai was too embarrassed to ask that friend in the provincial city for help, saying that he didn’t want to owe people favors and wouldn’t want to plead for help in his life.

Yet, when her son needed to go to the provincial city for school, she scolded Chiang Songhai a few times, and didn’t he still have to go and beg that person to arrange a school for Chiang Yuequn?

Ho Laidi thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of controlling Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao.

Moreover, for Chiang Yuequn studying in the provincial city, he still needed to rely on Chiang Songhai’s friend to look after him, and in the future, after graduating, she was hoping that person would arrange a good job for Chiang Yuequn as well!

Ho Laidi felt that there was much to look forward to in the second half of her life.

Her younger son would become a city dweller in the future! Later on, she, too, would go to the city to enjoy the good life!

But now she suddenly realized that things were no longer under her control.

For instance, Chiang Xiao actually dared to lay hands on her!

And even after she had been screaming for so long, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao just hid inside the room and refused to come out!

”Chiang Laoer! Ge Liutao! You two unfilial dead people! The elder sister-in-law is like a mother! And you just stand by and watch as a junior bullies me like this, this wretched girl probably comes from some rotten lineage! We, the Chiang Family, do not acknowledge her, not at all! I want to find the family elders and have her driven out...”

She had barely finished the word ’out’ when a bag of rice bran slammed into her face.

Some bits of husk exploded outwards, getting into her mouth and making her involuntarily go silent, she spat, as if she had eaten a mouthful of sand.

”Aunt, don’t drive me out, I didn’t do anything wrong, it has always been you hitting me! You might as well just beat me to death! You are just my grandfather’s sister-in-law, not his mother! Over the years, haven’t you bullied us enough?” Although Chiang Xiao’s expression was very cold, her cries sounded as if she was being severely beaten, so sharp and shocked that anyone who heard her would think she was truly being harshly punished.

The moment her shrill cries stopped, Chiang Xiao grabbed Ho Laidi’s collar with one hand, came close to her face, and spoke in a lowered voice, her tone merciless, ”Ho Laidi, get it straight, we won’t let you walk all over us anymore. You better deeply realize this, otherwise, I can’t guarantee I won’t cut out your tongue!”

Her eyes were as cold as if they’d been frosted, and her voice was so chilling that Ho Laidi couldn’t help shuddering.

Chiang Xiao, how dare she?

In that moment, without her saying a word, Ho Laidi deeply felt the change in Chiang Xiao. The current Chiang Xiao really was no longer the silent child who would take her beatings and scoldings.
