Yao Feixue continued to munch on several more chips.
“These chips are delicious! Feifei, how did you make them? Teach me, so I can ask my mother-in-law to make some too!” Yao Feixue exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over as she realized she was fine after eating them.
For four months, she had been eating nothing but bland broth; even the slightest hint of meat made her feel nauseous. Now that she finally had something tasty to eat, how could she not be thrilled?
“I still have plenty at home; I’ll get you some more later,” Ye Fangfei said.
Yao Feixue thought for a moment and decided not to refuse. After all, her sister-in-law kept a close eye on them every day, worried that their in-laws would give them too much food. If her mother-in-law made fried chips for her, Zhao Yunxia would surely gossip about it behind her back.
“Alright, I won’t be polite then. Please pack me some more,” she said.
“Why would you be polite with me? I also made spring rolls!” Ye Fangfei replied.
As the two were chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of a child crying and shouting from outside.
“Waaah! Grandma! This little brat pushed me!”
“You little pest! How dare you push your brother? Just wait until I beat you up!”
“You’re just a burden! You’re nothing but a good-for-nothing!”
“Why do we even bother raising you little nuisances? You should have been smothered at birth!” The angry shouts were accompanied by the sobs of a little girl.
“Don’t you dare cry! Hold it in! I won’t let you bully your brother again!”
“Grandma, I won’t do it again! Please don’t hit me! I promise I won’t do it again!” The child’s pleas echoed through the air.
“What’s going on? Who’s beating their child like that?” Ye Fangfei asked as she leaned out the window to look.
“It’s the old Ma family. Ever since Old Lady Ma came, there hasn’t been a moment of peace in their house. It’s either hitting this one or scolding that one, and they’ve got Zhou Xiaoying running around like a headless chicken.”
“And those three daughters Zhou Xiaoying gave birth to? Don’t even get me started. Not only do they get beaten and scolded, but they also go hungry.”
Sometimes when people saw the children looking pitiful, they would sneak them some food.
“Honestly, sometimes I feel so sorry for those three girls,” Ye Fangfei sighed. “I don’t understand what Zhou Xiaoying is thinking, just letting Old Lady Ma bully them like this.”
If it were me, I would have fought back fiercely. Yao Feixue was clearly used to the Ma family's antics.
Ye Fangfei agreed with Yao Feixue's words, saying that a mother becomes strong for her children. If someone were to insult her little moonlight, she would be ready to fight to the death.
Indeed, one couldn't help but wonder what Zhou Xiaoying was thinking. Ye Fangfei also found it hard to understand Zhou Xiaoying's mindset. Even if she hadn’t given birth to a son, it didn’t mean she should just let others insult her like that.
Moreover, as a mother, if one cannot protect their own child, then what is the point of being a mother?
"Isn't Ma Laotai being allowed to do whatever she wants? Shouldn't we go out and persuade her?" Ye Fangfei felt a bit helpless listening to the cries of the little girl.
"Don't! Do you think we haven't tried to persuade her?"
That Ma Laotai is like a rolling meatball; every time she beats a few girls, as soon as someone tries to intervene, she just throws herself on the ground and starts rolling around. Sometimes, she even charges at people. Then she lies there claiming she's in pain and demands compensation.
It would be different if Zhou Xiaoying stood up and said something sensible. The problem is that everyone is clearly trying to stand up for Zhou Xiaoying and her three daughters. Yet, Ma Laotai twists the truth, and Zhou Xiaoying knows exactly what's going on but remains silent.
Now, no matter how much chaos there is at their home, no one wants to step forward anymore.
