Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife
Chapter 124 - 125: Complaining is one thing, but why the heck exaggerate it?

Chapter 124: Chapter 125: Complaining is one thing, but why the heck exaggerate it?

Shi Mei ran towards the man who had just shouted, crying and screaming all the while.

Shi Lingyan’s expression was as still as water.

Seeing the pitiful girl crying until she was gasping for breath, he instinctively caught her securely.

Shi Mei leaped onto him, her legs instinctively clinging to him, and then she clung to his neck, desperately curling upwards as if she had been greatly, greatly frightened.

Shi Lingyan held her steady, his large hand supporting her.

His lips pressed tight, he looked sternly at the two uninvited guests before him.

Without uttering a single word, the cold and alarming atmosphere had already made everyone else terribly frightened.

Everyone except Shi Mei.

Shi Mei kept shrinking and crying, hugging Shi Lingyan tightly, and cried out, "The bad people hit Aunt Chen; they want to kill Shi Mei. Wuu wuu wuu, husband, save me!"

At over 150 pounds plus Shi Mei’s weight, Shi Xuebai’s old bones felt like they were about to be crushed.

Groaning, he pushed his wife away and Shi Xuebai quickly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, my son-in-law!"

That call of "son-in-law" was filled with heartfelt sincerity, and combined with the smile on his face, even seemed somewhat cordial.

However, someone was not impressed.

Shi Lingyan’s face remained somber, his icy gaze sweeping past them.

Wang Quanxia had clearly suffered.

Both her eyes had become like those of a panda, and her already plump face sported a purple bruise on the left and a red swelling on the right.

She looked utterly pitiable!

Hearing what Shi Xuebai had said, Wang Quanxia’s tears started to fall.

Slapping her thigh, Wang Quanxia sat on the sofa and cried aloud like someone who had suffered great injustice, "What sin have I committed, my own daughter hitting me! How did you, the Shi Family, teach her? I am her mother!"

Shi Xuebai also hurriedly said, "Son-in-law, just look at your family’s servant; they’ve led my daughter astray so much that she dares to hit people! She used to be so well-behaved at home!"

At home, whether beaten or scolded, she would just foolishly hide in a corner to wipe her tears.

She didn’t even dare to cry.

Not to mention how quiet she was.

And now, she even knew to complain?

Complaining was one thing, but to exaggerate and add fuel to the fire?

"Things have changed, indeed, it seems daughters who marry away change!" Wang Quanxia wiped her tears, her face twitching with pain, "Mr. Shi, we are after all related by marriage. It’s one thing for your servants to disrespect us, but to have them yell at us and instigate our daughter to attack people, what will people think if this gets out? She’s still a child!"

Aunt Chen’s face still bore the bright red imprint of a slap with three additional bloody scratches, a ghastly sight!

Xiao Xu turned green with anger upon hearing Wang Quanxia’s obvious distortion of facts, and said, "Young Master, don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s not like that at all!"

"How do you train your servants, with no manners at all," Wang Quanxia shouted, "when the head of the house speaks, don’t you know to shut up?"

Xiao Xu had been working for the Shi Family for four to five years and had never suffered such indignity.

Elder Shi and his wife always treated them with empathy, treating them as equals.

But now, being called a servant by her, Xiao Xu suddenly felt like a lesser person.

"It’s not that..." Shi Mei sobbed in Shi Lingyan’s embrace, her sobs breaking intermittently, "Grandfather said, hic, in this world... there is no such thing as servants or masters, everyone... is just... living their lives, losers... need to... belittle others to elevate themselves..."
