Seeing her like this, Qian Yixiu was so angry she could hardly stand it. Her aunt had an optimistic and cheerful nature, no matter how great the difficulty, she always faced it calmly. But today, she must have been greatly wronged.
Lady Wu also noticed, and after the children had taken turns performing New Year greetings and distributing red envelopes to their elders, she called Qian Manxia into the western room, and Qian Yixiu, unabashed, followed them in.
Because he was used to rural customs, Wan Dazhong did not need to follow Qian Sangui and Old Man Qian to the front yard; they were all chatting in the eastern room. However, when he saw Qian Manxia being called out by Lady Wu, his face turned red involuntarily.
Lady Wu asked Qian Manxia, "Madam Xia, tell me the truth, did your son-in-law bully you?"
Qian Manxia's eyes were a little red as she stammered, "No, my husband treats me very well."
Qian Yixiu pressed, "Then it must be your mother-in-law who treats you poorly?"
