My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 64: 64 can’t stir up much of a storm

Mrs. He looked at Old Man Ye and, without a word, stood up and walked out.

The already frail door of the woodshed made a loud bang as Mrs. He kicked it open, knocking the two door panels to the ground. With the door no longer blocking the way, a cold wind suddenly rushed in, making the two people inside shiver.

Mrs. He went straight in. Before Mrs. Li could react, Mrs. He had already slapped her hard on the face.

Not giving Mrs. Li any time to argue or plead, Mrs. He’s curses had already slipped out, “Look at you, you heartless old hag, do you even see what you are? You dare to scheme for my daughter’s money, but do you have the skills?!

If you don’t want to live a good life, today I will beat the life out of both of you wretches. I tell you, as long as I, Mrs. He, am alive, you won’t take the slightest advantage from my daughter.

You don’t even know what you are but still dream of spending my daughter’s hard-earned money…”

When Old Man Ye rushed over to stop her, Mrs. Li’s cheeks had already swollen up.

Old Man Ye hurriedly grabbed Mrs. He, “Wife, let’s talk this out, I made that quilt because I felt sorry for Erya, it wasn’t Mrs. Li’s idea.”

Mrs. He had already hit them, and half of her anger had diminished. Hearing Old Man Ye say this, she immediately brushed off his hand, “If you care so much for these wretches, then you stay here and care for them!”

It wasn’t the first time Old Man Ye had seen Mrs. He angry, but he was still panicked.

Old Man Ye wanted to go after her to explain, but Mrs. Li suddenly sat down on the ground, sobbing, “I was wrong, I truly was… Cousin, I know you hate me for once ruining things with you and Mrs. He and for causing her to be blamed by everyone, but you know how I’ve lived these years. Even if I was wrong, I have long since been punished…

“Since Auntie died, Erya and I have been slaving away at home. I deserve it, it’s my own doing, but Erya is innocent…

“She’s a Ye daughter too, and though she can’t compare to Jiujiu in status, she shouldn’t be living like this, unable to get enough to eat, her hands rougher than the old lady’s feet…”

“Erya is already fourteen, and in two years she will be a young woman. Other people’s daughters are already being well cared for to make a good marriage, but look at Erya’s skinny appearance, how will she ever make a good match…”

Sobbing…

Mrs. Li’s crying deepened the gloom in Old Man Ye’s heart.

In the main room, Ye Jiu had also heard Mrs. Li’s wails, and opened her eyes, looking anxiously at Mrs. He’s gloomy face.

“Mom…” Ye Jiu had long been frustrated by Mrs. Li’s presence, and at that moment, she thought that if Old Man Ye dared to be swayed by Mrs. Li’s cries even once, she would just take Mrs. He and move out to live on their own.

Mrs. He seeing the worry in Ye Jiu’s eyes, soothingly stroked her head, “Don’t be afraid, my darling, as long as I’m here today, that woman can’t stir up any trouble. That girl she bore is not even worthy to carry shoes for my Jiujiu, yet she dares to compare herself with my good child!”

Mrs. He’s face was adorned with a mocking smile. If not for Ye Jiu being by her side, Mrs. Li would have surely faced another round of harsh scolding.

Recently, her daughter’s health had improved, which had put Mrs. He in a better mood and slightly lessened her harshness, allowing these unworthy things to start getting presumptuous.
