Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Malicious Insults

Ho Laidi’s heart suddenly felt some panic, and seeing Ge Liutao still standing at the door watching, she immediately became enraged.

"What are you looking at? Do you wish something bad would happen to my Baoguo as well?"

What kind of thing is that to say?

Ge Liutao looked somewhat puzzled, "Elder sister, how could I think that way? I don’t even know who came looking for Baoguo."

"It must be something good!" Ho Laidi glared, feeling that Ge Liutao really didn’t know how to speak. No matter who came looking for Baoguo, it surely was something good!

Ge Liutao didn’t say it wasn’t a good thing, either. She knew saying more would lead to more mistakes, so she thought it best to hurry inside to avoid further fault-finding from her sister-in-law.

"Didn’t Baoguo go to see what it was about? We’ll know in a while. Elder sister, you don’t need to worry so much."

"What do you mean, I don’t need to worry? Do I look worried to you?" Ho Laidi could not resist putting one hand on her hip and pointing the other at Ge Liutao.

"Ge Liutao, let me tell you, don’t think just because you can’t bear a son yourself, you have to hope my son is doing poorly. You and Chiang Laoer are destined to die without anyone to break a bowl or hold an incense burner for you. If you hope for any good from Baoguo and the others, when you two kick the bucket, someone might help wrap you in shrouds. Otherwise, you can rely on Chiang Xiao, that cheap mongrel—might not even afford a simple pine coffin, and you’ll end up buried in a pit in Bai Gu Mountain! To say you could dig a pit is already giving Chiang Xiao, who doesn’t even know whose dog’s spawn she is, too much credit. With her frail arms and legs and a face full of sly charm, she may as well toss you on the mountain for the stray dogs to gnaw your bones to pieces!"

Ho Laidi hadn’t lowered her voice at all. She spoke loudly by nature, and her words exploded like firecrackers without pause.

The neighbors, overhearing this, dared not come out to intervene. Who would want to bring trouble upon themselves?

Honest Shi and Hu Molan were just returning home from the fields when they heard this tirade and were both somewhat dumbstruck.

"Baoguo’s mother is really too..." Honest Shi, being a frank person himself, simply couldn’t find the words to describe Ho Laidi’s harangue.

He just felt that this shrewish woman was truly fearsome, giving him chills down his spine even as an outsider.

Hu Molan huffed, "I think it’s all because of Qingzhu’s parents spoiling her! The elder sister-in-law isn’t even a mother-in-law, yet all these years, she’s been allowed to hit and scold without resistance. If not bullying them, who else would she bully?"

Hu Molan was a strong-willed woman. She didn’t bully others, but no one dared to bully her either.

Honest Shi was a simple and honest fellow, having been harshly treated by his stepmother before he married. Initially, Hu Molan was also annoyed by his meekness and tolerance, so she never had much sympathy for Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao.

What’s that saying?

Every pitiable person has their abominable aspects.

Hu Molan wasn’t educated, so she wouldn’t phrase it that way, but that’s what she thought.

Ge Liutao hadn’t expected that saying not a single malicious word would provoke such a tirade of abuse from Ho Laidi, pointed at her nose.

She was simply dumbfounded.

Moreover, the words Ho Laidi had used were truly vicious. Ge Liutao’s heart pounded, and her vision swayed.

But she had been accustomed to forbearance and kindness all her life and couldn’t think of a single retort.

Chiang Xiao heard Ho Laidi’s verbal abuse from some distance from home and her face changed. "Grandfather, let’s hurry. My grandmother isn’t in good health; I hope she isn’t getting upset!"

After speaking, she rushed forward.

Chiang Songhai watched her quick pace with some surprise, but because of Ho Laidi’s words, he was too angry to ponder deeply at that moment.
