Mrs. Liu hurriedly agreed: âThatâs given. Doesnât she always listen to you in the past? I think there wouldnât be any different now.â
When Mrs. Zhang came in from the house in the backyard, she saw the old lady and Mrs. Liuâs proud appearance. She knew the two donât have any good plan, so she turned around and didnât enter the room further.
However, Old Lady Bai has seen her and shouted: âSecond daughter-in-law, if you are free, come with us.â
Mrs. Zhang stopped walking, she turned her head, but didnât smile at them: âI still have something to do, you go on your own.â
Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and said: âWhat do you have to do at this early hour? I think you just donât want to go with us.â
Mrs. Zhang raised an eyebrow: âSister-in-law, you can really talk without any difficulty, donât you? Since I woke up at dawn, I havenât stopped working and cleaning at home. While you, you havenât touch anything inside the house. So now, tell me, do you think you have any reason to pick a fight on me?â
Mrs. Zhang then looked at Mrs. Liu from head to toe and added: âIt seems that your injury in your butt is now good. In that case, letâs make a schedule to who will do the chores today.â
Mrs. Liuâs face slightly changed in color, she wrinkled her eyebrows and said: âSister-in-law, you are too much, you talk as if I didnât do anything at all.â
Old Lady Bai angrily said: âEnough, donât say anything anymore. Since you still have something to do, then donât go with us. Letâs go now.â Old Lady Bai tugged Mrs. Liuâs sleeves and pulled her out of the house.
Mrs. Liu stared at Mrs. Zhang, as she was about to go outside the house. She doesnât know why this woman always picks a fight with her. Sooner or later, she will clean her up.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the old lady and Mrs. Liuâs departing back. The sneer on her mouth was getting more and more intense: âI want to see what you can get out from it this time.â

Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu came to Hu Changlinâs house. Seeing Hu Changlin in the courtyard, Old Lady Bai asked with a smile on her face: âChanglin, is our familyâs Zhao Lan inside?âOur Familyâs Zhao Lan?
Hu Changlin got up from the chair but still continued to fan himself with the big fan on his hand. Then, he walked step by step closer to the gate and looked at Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu.
âIf I remember correctly, your Bai Family and Zhao Lan are separated now. She is no longer a member of your Bai Family, right?â
Old Lady Bai laughed twice and said: âDonât say that, we are still family in the end. Even if you break a bone, it can still be attached. The family had a conflict before, but now it is finished. Sooner or later, they will come back home. After all, itâs not good to stay in other peopleâs home.â
Hu Changlin looked at Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu with eyes full of admiration and said: âOhh, Iâve seen people with a thick face before, but Iâve never seen such a two-face mother-in-law like you. To say such kind of words, arenât you afraid to be struck by lightning?â
Old Lady Baiâs face sank and said: âThis is our Bai Familyâs matter. You are an outsider, what does it have to do with you?â
Hu Changlin coldly sneered: âOf course, it has something to do with me. Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi now live in my Hu Familyâs house. So I, Hu Changlin, will protect them. I will not allow you Bai Family to bully them. If you have the ability, you can stop me and try to interrupt my arm again.â
