Jiang Mingzhu’s eyes changed when she saw that her eldest sister was trying to hurt Master Deng. Without thinking about the consequences she rushed in front of Master Deng and stood in front of him, glaring at Eldest Sister Jiang.
“You dare to stop me?” Eldest Sister Jiang flew into a raging fit when she saw that Jiang Mingzhu had actually gone against her. This girl had been obedient in front of her all her life but now she was acting so disobedient.
Sure enough, her husband was right.
Master Deng must have been blowing air on Jiang Mingzhu’s pillow and was sowing discord between the sisters and was trying his best to egg Jiang Mingzhu against them, her sisters!
“Eldest sister, you want to hit my husband. Of course, as his wife, I will have to stop you. Do you think that I will watch you beat my husband?” Jiang Mingzhu was indeed an honest woman. She had been in a capricious position in this family.
Her treatment and care depended on the mood of her mother. If her mother was in a good mood she would treat her well but if she was in a bad mood then she would lock her up and leave her to starve for days.
Because of this, she did not dare to fight against her sisters. Even if her husband had tried to fight with her sisters, she had promptly diffused the situation in the past even if it meant wronging her husband.
But she would not let anyone hit her husband. Even if the other person was her sister!
Second Sister Jiang sucked in a breath. She did not know whether to stop the fight or let her two sisters continue with it.
Master Sang on the other hand sucked in a breath. He was quite surprised when he saw Master Deng who had been obedient and polite jump on Master Xiu. But now as he stared at Master Xiu who was beaten black and blue, he patted her chest in relief.
Fortunately, his wife had stopped him just now or else he would have been beaten in the same manner as Master Xiu. Looking at his usually scheming eldest brother-in-law being beaten and rendered defenceless, his mouth fell agape in astonishment.
‘Maybe I should stop bullying him all the time,’ thought Master Sang to himself.
He had already heard that Master Deng had once joined his mother on hunts. Back then they thought that it was nothing but rumour. How could a mer be allowed to join in hunts? However, upon seeing Master Deng’s skills, he realised that he was the one who underestimated him.
Master Deng was not a pushover as they had all thought!
Master Deng, who was hitting Master Xiu, also raised his head and glared at Eldest Sister Jiang. “Eldest sister, do you dare to hit me? I am telling you don’t even think about it! My family did not make a move against yours because I asked them to show me face.”
“But if you touch me today, I will make sure that you will lose the very limb with which you touch me! I guarantee you that my eldest sisters will not leave this matter be. And my mother! She will make such a loud ruckus that you will lose all your reputation!”
“A big woman like you is joining hands with her husband to bully a mer like me? Pei shameless!” Master Deng spat on the ground.
When Eldest Sister Jiang heard Master Deng’s words, her expression changed. She recalled the six Deng sisters and shivered especially when she was reminded of the eldest Deng Maimei.
That woman was not only tall but she was also really strong and her muscles were not a joke. She could match many men if she wanted. Not to mention, she never wore a pleasant expression whenever she came to the Jiang family.
Although Eldest Sister Jiang liked to act like the elder of the family after her mother, she was really terrified of Deng Maimei. Every time that woman came to their house, she would look at her as if she knew something. Deng Maimei had sized her many times which scared Eldest Sister Jiang.
She thought that the woman wanted to beat her up!
But when she saw that Deng Maimei did not do anything to her, she calmed down thinking that there was no way Deng Maimei knew of the petty tricks that they were pulling in the Jiang house.
However, now that Master Deng had told her that it was all because of him asking his sisters to not make a move on her, that they had stopped from beating her up Eldest Sister Jiang suddenly felt rather terrified.
“You…just let go of your eldest brother-in-law! What do you think you are doing, you are his junior and younger brother-in-law. How dare you lay your hands on your brother-in-law?” Since she could not deal with the Deng sisters, Eldest Sister Jiang decided to show her might to Master Deng.
“If others hear about this what will they say? That the juniors of our family have little to no respect towards their elders? It’s fine if you want to ruin your life but why do you want Mingzhu to suffer with you? What if she loses her job because of this?”
Master Xiu’s eyes brightened as he heard his wife’s words. Maybe he could use this opportunity to suppress Jiang Mingzhu completely. Of course, he wouldn’t want her to lose her job because who would take care of their family expenses?
But he would make sure that Jiang Mingzhu remained in the same position as she was at present. In the future he would make both Master Deng and Jiang Mingzhu rue this day when they raised their hands to hurt him.
He would make them watch his wife climb higher and higher while they choked on starvation and poverty!
With that thought in his head, he started crying even more loudly
