Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 297 - Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Not a thing_1

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Not a thing_1 Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Not a thing_1 “She took the money, and when she failed to sort things out, she turned to me, plaguing me with her cries and tantrums. One moment she threatened to commit suicide, the next she accused me of favoritism, favoring your family.”

Though Guan Rufang was usually spirited, she was indeed very thin, an elderly lady with a slim figure and full crown of silver hair. Now she sat on a small stool, sighing incessantly, which made Nan Fei feel an overwhelming sadness.

She tightly held Guan Rufang’s hand, wishing to impart her own strength to the elder.

“She’s a beast! All these years, I kept quiet about the way she bullied your family. Now, she even has the audacity to play the victim, as if she had lost her conscience.”

“If only I hadn’t insisted on your eldest uncle marrying her back then. I was conned, I believed my cousin’s words and brought such a detestable creature into our family!”

Nan Fei had heard about the circumstances back then. The eldest uncle was strikingly handsome when he was young, well-read, and a doctor. He had a girl he liked in school, but their grandmother had heard that the girl looked down on their poverty-stricken family.

She disapproved of their relationship with a steadfastness.

Because of this, the eldest uncle almost left their home out of frustration.

Then through the introduction of his own cousin, they heard about Liu Yongxia – a diligent, resilient and sensible girl. Thus, they decided on a match, immediately marrying her off without allowing for any sort of courtship, as is customary these days.

The moment she joined their family, she revealed her true colors. But by then, it was too late! Their grandmother had actually had someone inquire about Liu Yongxia, but Liu Yongxia had set her heart on the eldest uncle and was determined to marry him.

To ensure the marriage, she went from house to house in their village, threatening them not to utter a ill word against her. The village people merely wanted her to get married and leave the village as soon as possible, so they echoed only the good points.

Perhaps it was due to these reasons that the eldest uncle allowed Liu Yongxia to have her way, never providing any checks or balances. Over the years, it became a habit.

“I know she won’t be able to spare the sum even if it costs her life. If things get blown out of proportion, it will only result in your eldest uncle losing his job. After all, he’s my son, and I…”

Full of pent up frustration and with nowhere to release it, Guan Rufang, being the determined woman she was, found it tough to tolerate such a huge loss.

Liu Yongxia had profited at her expense, and she felt like she should have just stabbed her last night.

They expected her to be the one to speak up? She wasn’t giving her a stab only out of consideration for her eldest son.

“So it’s true!” Nan Fei nodded thoughtfully, taking in this shocking piece of news calmly.

Her reaction surprised Guan Rufang, “Nan Fei… don’t you hate me? It’s five thousand dollars! Even if you were to give this money away, it should be from your family. It has nothing to do with Liu Yongxia.”

“The moment the money enters my aunt’s pocket, you wouldn’t be able to get a cent back,” Nan Fei said. Just thinking about it, she could already imagine the scene her aunt would create at her grandmother’s house.

Her dramatic behavior would be such that it could bring the heavens down and no deity could stop her unless her conditions were met to her satisfaction.

It was because of this reason that she had chosen to settle it with one sharp cut last night; otherwise, Liu Yongxia’s tantrums would have made life hell for the entire family.

“You’re right! I shouldn’t have conceded to her.” Guan Rufang ended her statement and rolled up her left sleeve to reveal a large bruise. “Look at this, it’s what the beast did.”

Seeing the bruise on her grandmother’s arm, Nan Fei’s face changed instantly, gritting her teeth she said coldly: “How dare she!” She had already suspected that her grandmother was bearing the brunt of her aunt’s repercussions but it still felt strange in her heart. Seeing the painful evidence filled her with resentment…

She reminded herself to be more cautious when dealing with any matter in the future and to avoid making impulsive decisions or assumptions. If there were any questions or doubts, they must be addressed and clarified.

She mustn’t allow herself to be easily manipulated by others’ words.
