Chapter 131: Sang Wan Striking Back (2/2)

“We’re going back!” Shi Yumei exhaled.

“Missy, are we not taking a walk around the park anymore?” Xiao Shuang asked with a smile.

“What walk!” Shi Yumei’s anger returned and she sneered, “What’s so good about some other family’s garden!”

Shi Yumei quickly regretted losing the control of her words after seeing Xiao Shuang’s startled gaze. With a flick on Xiao Shuang’s forehead, Shi Yumei uttered, “Nosy! We’re going back!”

Having vented all that unhappiness from within, Sang Wan was feeling a sense of elation. But that quickly changed to uneasiness and she regretted her actions after a quick reflection. Now, Shi Yumei would have something to use against her; who knows what she would say in front of her mother and brother! In any case, Sang Wan had said what she wanted to, even if it was not appropriate. There was no way to control what Shi Yumei does and in the worst case scenario, she would just be handed a divorce document!

Sang Wan calmly awaited for the imminent storm. Who knew that a day would pass without anything happening. Her mother-in-law did not send anyone to call her over and Shi Fengju did not mention anything when he returned at night. When she lay on her bed, she felt that it was surreal!

On the next day after breakfast, when Sang Wan arrived to greet her mother-in-law, Shi Yumei’s expression immediately changed and she turned away quickly. However, she did not speak in a mean tone like on normal days.

Sang Wan suddenly understood: it seemed like she never told anyone about what happened yesterday!

It is a given that Shi Yumei hated me, but it seemed like now, she’s also afraid of me. At least, she won’t dare to openly humiliate me anymore.

Really, some people are just spiteful! Sang Wan thought to herself coldly.

“Daughter-in-law Sang Wan is here to send her greetings!” Sang Wan obediently went forward and bowed respectfully.

“Good, good! Take a seat and chat with us!” Wang Shi raised her hand and smiled as per usual. Similar to previous days, she spoke with Sang Wan about the trifle things.

Only Shi Yumei was behaving differently. She was exceptionally quiet today and did not utter a word beside Wang Shi.

“Yumei, what’s wrong with you? Did something happen to you!” Wang Shi finally realized her daughter’s unusual silence and asked in concern.

Shi Yumei threw a glance at Sang Wan and saw an annoying mask of serenity on her face. Feeling disgruntled, she blurted out, “Nothing! Only that I saw a fly yesterday and felt disgusted!”

“What nonsense are you talking again!” Wang Shi laughed, “Why would there be flies in this season! Even if there were, why would that disgust last so long? It’s just a fly, there’s no need for you to feel so bothered by it! Sang Wan, don’t you agree with me?”

Sang Wan laughed and said, “Mother, you are right! But there is no absolute in the world, not just Big Sister, even I seemed to have seen a fly too! It frustrates me how it cannot be chased away or hit and it bothers everyone around it! Annoying, don’t you think? No wonder Big Sister is feeling down today!”

Shi Yumei stared at Sang Wan with her eyes wide in disbelief. She was tongue-tied by Sang Wan’s retort and did not know what to say in retaliation.

However, Wang Shi thought literally and was greatly surprised, “Really? What a coincidence!”

“Isn’t it so!” Sang Wan smiled and said, “But Sang Wan didn’t keep that in mind; who knew it’d affect Big Sister greatly! If Big Sister still feels uncomfortable, then please have a good rest! Mother, I won’t disturb you anymore and will take my leave first!”

“Haha, go, go!” Wang Shi smiled and waved her farewell.

Sang Wan smiled as she took her leave, but she suddenly turned her head back to Shi Yumei and smiled, “Oh right, Big Sister! If there are anymore flies that upset Big Sister, then there must be an issue with our household’s hygiene. Don’t forget to inform me and I’ll instruct the servants to clean and disinfect every corner!”

Shi Yumei expression became worse and she grunted without giving a response.

“Yumei! What’s the matter with you!” Wang Shi nudged Shi Yumei once, and creased her eyebrow, “Sang Wan is just being kind in her offer, how could you be like this! Hehe, Sang Wan, don’t worry, don’t worry, go ahead with the rest of your day. Ah! Your big sister’s temper is just like this!”

“Mother, maybe Big Sister is just affected by the fly and is not feeling well today! Why would I bicker with Big Sister on this! Then I’ll take my leave now!” Sang Wan smiled and left.

“Hypocrite!” Shi Yumei could no longer hold in her breath and snapped coldly right after Sang Wan left.

“Yumei!” Wang Shi scolded her sternly, “Why are you so eccentric these days? Sang Wan is just being kind, how could you say that? What would she think if she heard you!”

“Mother, don’t worry!” Shi Yumei sneered, ”She isn’t that simple to be taken down! You should use your head to think more often!”

“Imprudent! You are getting more and more rude these days!” Wang Shi slammed the tea table and raised her voice as she scolded sternly, “Yumei! Let me warn you never to speak in such an odd manner in the future! What did Sang Wan do to offend you to cause you to have something against her all the time? Just like what happened two days ago, she didn’t mention anything about it after that day and didn’t force you to apologize to her; are her compromises not enough? As an older sister, you have none of her magnanimity and still discriminate against her all the time! Ask yourself honestly, if the roles were reversed two days ago, would you have easily let it go? Tell me!”
