Chapter 47: Her Fragile and Wretched Appearance Can't Bear It

Although Wei Pozi didn't directly curse at Qian Shi, the phrase "losing value" made it clear to everyone that she was indirectly insulting her.

Qian Shi's breathing quickened with anger.

Su Rouer bit her lip and remained silent.

Wei Pozi's expression was indifferent, clearly not treating Qian Shi as family. Without inviting her in for tea, she simply said, "Did your mother-in-law know you were coming today?"

Qian Shi tightened her grip on the boy's hand. "My mother-in-law certainly knows—Aunt Wei, I have something to discuss with you."

Wei Pozi huffed, silently urging her to get to the point.

Qian Shi nudged the boy forward.

The boy stepped forward as instructed.

"I'm not here for a visit," Qian Shi declared boldly. "Look at the injury on my Xiaobao's head... Xiaobao, tell them who caused this injury."

Su Xiaobao had several layers of soft cloth wrapped around his head and said aggressively, "This injury is all because of Yu Yongju! It bled so much!"

Wei Pozi understood now what Qian Shi was here for.

Sure enough, Qian Shi said matter-of-factly, "Previously, your Ju Geer injured my Xiaobao. But since Ju Geer almost died after falling off a cliff, I let it go out of family consideration. Yesterday, when your sister came back for her luggage, I heard that Ju Geer has fully recovered. So, my Xiaobao can't be hurt for nothing, right? Naturally, we need to ask your sister for compensation. But she claimed she had no money... Ha, so I brought Xiaobao here myself today."

Even Bai Xiaofeng felt like tearing Qian Shi's mouth apart upon hearing this.

What does "almost died" mean? How could those words sound so callous!

Su Rouer had only vaguely guessed Qian Shi's intentions, but hearing such shameless words from her made her feel utterly devastated.

These were her relatives!

Su Rouer trembled with rage.

"Do I owe you something?"

She couldn't say anything else, repeating this sentence over and over.

Qian Shi responded indignantly, "Of course you do! You owe us everything!"

She sneered, "If you had married the son of Zhu the Overseer as a concubine, our family would have gained face. And if the Zhu family had given us some scraps, our lives would have been better. But you refused and married a peasant instead! Your parents raised you for years, and this is how you repay them!"

Su Rouer was on the verge of madness, trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Pozi saw the situation and called out, "Second Sister-in-Law!"

Bai Xiaofeng understood her mother-in-law's intention and hurriedly helped Su Rouer calm down. She also felt pity for Su Rouer, wondering how she ended up with such relatives.

"Calm down, calm down," Bai Xiaofeng comforted, rubbing Su Rouer's back. "Just ignore their nonsense."

"Who are you calling a dog?" Qian Shi retorted.

Wei Pozi glared coldly and shouted even louder, "Shut up!"

Her voice was so loud that Qian Shi visibly shook.

Even Su Rouer was startled, finally catching her breath.

Wei Pozi showed no mercy to the so-called in-law and said coldly, "Qian, you still have the nerve to speak! That son of Zhu the Overseer was fat and stupid. When my third daughter-in-law was just sixteen, you planned to sell her off as someone's eighth concubine! What decent family does such things?! You wanted to use my daughter-in-law to pay off gambling debts with ten taels of silver! Disgusting! And you dare call her an ungrateful wretch?!"

Wei Pozi continued menacingly, "Let me tell you the truth. When I was young, there were bandits in the village, and I fought them with a knife! Don't try to intimidate me!"

Qian Shi paled and instinctively took a step back.

She hadn't expected Wei Pozi to be so intimidating.

Su Rouer was surprised by Wei Pozi's defense of her. She first froze, then felt a burning sensation on her face before bursting into tears.

Bai Xiaofeng looked excited, wishing she could applaud her mother-in-law!

But Su Xiaobao couldn't handle Wei Pozi's intimidation and cried out, hiding in Qian Shi's arms.

Su Xiaobao's crying gave Qian Shi an excuse.

She hugged Su Xiaobao and cooed, "Aunt Wei, must you be so harsh? I am Xiaobao's maternal aunt. Is it wrong to say a few words to her? Look how scared our Xiaobao is."

She turned to the sobbing Su Rouer, "Xiaobao, stop crying. It looks like I'm bullying you... I'm just here to seek justice and medical fees for our Xiaobao. Look at all of you, what a mess."

Her tone carried a hint of blame.

Wei Pozi took a deep breath.

Qian Shi's behavior was unacceptable, but it wasn't the children's fault.

At that moment, Liu Ge'er returned with Gui Geer, Ju Geer, and Xingxing.

Ju Geer, seeing his mother crying, panicked, "Mother, what happened?"

He rushed to Su Rouer's side, small but full of anger. "Did Auntie bully you again?!"

Su Rouer didn't want to lose face in front of the children and quickly wiped her tears, forcing a smile. "No... nothing happened. Mother is fine..."

But Ju Geer didn't believe her. He turned around, shielding Su Rouer behind him, and glared fiercely at Qian Shi and Su Xiaobao. "If you bully my mother again, I'll bite you!"

Su Rouer felt both bitter and wanted to cry.

Xingxing also stepped forward, standing beside Ju Geer, eyeing Qian Shi and Su Xiaobao warily, ready to stand united with Ju Geer and bite them together.

Qianshi saw Xingxing and let out another "tsk": "This is the little girl that Wei Pozi took in, right? Not to be rude, but if you have spare money to help such an unrelated brat, why don't you pay the medical fees you owe? ... Don't you fear that cause and effect will shorten this girl's life? Such good fortune is too much for someone with her frail and miserable fate to bear ..."

Wei Pozi's eyes turned even colder.

Liu Ge'er and Gui Geer were furious!

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was an elder, they would have started a fight right then!

But Ju Geer was different—Ju Geer had always been spoiled. When he heard Qianshi cursing at Xingxing, his eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed forward to push Qianshi hard!
