Horrible People

That was the Fifth Sister-in-law’s gift to her… but it was stolen away by her cousin within half a day. Shao Taotao was feeling both sad and guilty.

Second Sister and Fourth Sister? Qiao Xuan was startled.

She was a concubine’s daughter. She had one sister who was born by the Madame of the family and one younger sister who was born by another concubine… Neither of them were easy to deal with. Hearing what Shao Taotao said, she understood mostly what was going on.

However, these two cousins should belong to the second and the third sections of the family. Moreover, her mother-in-law did not look like someone who was easily bullied, nor did this sister-in-law of hers look like a timid person…

What made these two cousins so wild?

“How could they be so unreasonable? It is totally irritating!”

Shao Taotao felt even worse and a little annoyed too. She pursed her lips. “Dad is always defending them! He says that even though we come from three different sections, we are still one family and we should get on well with each other. We are the eldest of the family and should take care of everyone. Moreover, we should not be so critical about everything. They are family, anyway, right?”

Qiao Xuan felt speechless.

It seemed that such a thing had happened many times. No wonder those two cousins dared to bully Taotao without fearing anything.

Her mother-in-law might not be an easygoing person, but her father-in-law was the man of the family. So no matter how much her mother-in-law tried to throw temper and have a row, she could do nothing about the father-in-law who was determined and resolute.

After venting out her complaints, Shao Taotao felt slightly better. She could not help but feel that she was much closer to Fifth Sister-in-law at this point.

She looked up at her and said, “I am sorry not to have defended myself for the silk-flower, so it was stolen away. I am sorry, Fifth Sister-in-law!”

Qiao Xuan shook her head quickly and said, “It is not your fault! It is they who are terrible!”

She raised her eyebrows. “But my gift should not be stolen away so easily. You go and trick them into our yard, and I will help you to get back the silk-flower.”

She just could not bear the anger that her gift to her sister-in-law was pulled away, especially when her sister-in-law came to share her grievances with tears in her eyes.

Shao Taotao was surprised and sounded hesitant. “That doesn’t seem right… what if father knows about it… what if…”

Qiao Xuan consoled her. “Father is a reasonable person too, right? That is the gift I gave you, and it should not be snatched away by other people! It would sound really unreasonable, right?”

Obviously, her father-in-law was an honest person, the eldest brother who tried to bear all responsibilities. But she was a member of the eldest section and now that the people from the second and the third section had developed the habit of stealing and robbing stuff, they would definitely turn to her in the near future.

She was not only helping her sister-in-law, but also clearing the path for herself in future life. This was something she was going to get involved in and solve.

Hearing her words, Shao Taotao thought for a while and nodded hesitantly. “Fifth Sister-in-law is right… and it sounds reasonable too. But I am not sure if they will return the silk-flower anyway?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “We can talk to them in a nice way, and I believe that they will be able to return the silk-flower. Let’s have a try anyway, okay?”

Although Shao Taotao did not believe her words, she truly missed her silk-flower, and was angry too. So, with a little conviction, she nodded. “Yes, you are right, Fifth Sister-in-law. I will get them here now!”

Soon, Shao Taotao came with her cousins Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi.

Qiao Xuan turned to them as she was in the yard, smilingly.

The girls were startled, and after a while, they realized that this must be the wife whom their cousin had married the day before.
