Chapter 463 The Terrifying Siblings
When Xiao Tiantian noticed that everyone was staring at her in surprise and not saying anything, she quickly looked at Yao Shula next to her.
"Big sister, am I right? Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Tiantian tugged at Yao Shula's arm.
Yao Shula quickly concealed the shock on her face.
She quickly shook her head and gently patted Xiaotian's shoulder.
“How could that be? Tian Tian is absolutely right! Mingxi, if anyone from your in-laws asks you that question in the future, just tell them back just like Tian Tian said.” Yao Shula glanced at Lei Mingxi, whose mouth was still agape.
Lei Mingxi's eyes widened in surprise. It wasn't until her mother nudged her that she came to her senses.
"Oh? Okay! It's just... Tiantian, if I say it like this, will they say I'm impolite and don't respect elders?"
"What if my mother-in-law has an excuse to say I'm not good, and then scolds me?" Lei Mingxi was still a little worried.
Yao Shula remained silent and continued to look at Xiao Tiantian.
After receiving praise from Yao Shula, Xiaotian immediately raised his head again.
See, he knew he was right; he learned that entirely from his older sister!
“Teach you a lesson? What right do they have to teach you a lesson? Cousin, a large part of the reason their family insisted on marrying you was because you are the daughter of the Lei family. Marrying you would mean establishing a marriage alliance with the Lei family.”
Similarly, you're not going to be a doormat after you marry into the family. Grandpa always said that we need to be careful when we're out and about, because everyone will notice our every move.
Your going out represents both families.
If your mother-in-law scolds you, just say that you are doing this for their family's sake.
These are just random, distant relatives who have gone through countless twists and turns. Do they not respect the Lei family, or do they not respect your in-laws?
Teaching them a lesson saves face for both families and lets those people know whose rice bowl they're eating from.
They can't find any reason to refute what you're saying.
If they say they're doing this for your own good and have no ill intentions, you can simply tell them to take their kindness home with them. Instead of carrying around so-called good intentions that others don't value, why not use that kindness at home?
If they hadn't been so kind, perhaps their families wouldn't be struggling so much.
"Cousin, remember this: even your mother-in-law will have to think twice before disciplining you, let alone those outsiders. They're not worthy!" Xiao Tiantian said seriously.
Yao Shula nodded repeatedly.
That's right, Xiaotian is absolutely right. Even Lei Mingqian's mother-in-law would have to think twice before trying to teach Lei Mingqian a lesson, let alone those other people.
That's why Lei Mingxi's mother-in-law had those people say things about Lei Mingxi.
Ultimately, she's just a cunning and manipulative woman.
"Did you hear that? They say it every day. You're the daughter of the Lei family, not someone who's been bullied in the past. Don't come back crying and complaining every time something happens."
Who do they think they are? What right do they have to lecture you?
"Also, have your husband come over when he gets back from his business trip. I want to ask him if he knows about his mother instigating those people to teach you a lesson." The aunt said, sounding exasperated.
Lei Mingxi thought about it carefully and also felt that what Xiao Tiantian said made sense.
Yes, those people are all begging the Lei family and their in-laws to do things for them. What right do they have to lecture me?
It seems I really gave them too much credit.
“Okay, if they dare to say that to me again next time, I will definitely fight back as Tiantian said.” Lei Mingxi nodded vigorously.
"It mainly depends on your brother-in-law's attitude. If his attitude is ambiguous, then you should teach him a lesson," Yao Shula reminded her.
Lei Mingxi nodded quickly.
"Yes, it's mainly his attitude that I've remembered."
Little Tiantian quickly interjected again.
"Cousin, you must remember this: your mother-in-law is no pushover. She's the kind of smiling tiger my older sister described. Isn't she two-faced?"
You don't need to worry about that. If she says something about how others are elders, just boldly retort.
Which elder would want to crawl under someone else's bed? Which elder would be thinking of sowing discord all the time? They may feel good saying a few words, but isn't that just trying to sow discord between you and your mother-in-law?
I didn't know better; I thought your mother-in-law had asked them to go and say it!
After all, those people who rely on your in-laws to find you a job actually dared to come to your door and lecture your daughter-in-law. What else could this be but malicious intent?
Your mother-in-law will definitely have nothing to say then.
"Cousin, this is what it means to walk someone else's path and leave them with nowhere to walk," Xiao Tiantian said smugly.
Everyone immediately chimed in.
Yes, Xiaotian is right, that's the attitude we should have.
Auntie also gently patted Lei Mingxi's hand.
"You need to be clear about this. It's not easy for someone in your position to go out for further training. You'll definitely get a promotion when you come back. Don't be confused. A job is something that stays with you for life. None of us are as reliable as a job."
I don't know if your man will be with you until old age, but I do know that job can support you for life.
As for your mother-in-law... I'll find some time to meet with her and say what needs to be said. You don't need to pay her any attention; just focus on your work.
Lei Mingxi agreed.
Home is still the best place. Why did she ever have the brain fart to want to get married?
Seeing that Lei Mingxi's problem was solved, everyone looked at Yao Shula and Xiao Tiantian differently. They never expected that the Lei family would have someone who could win over the world with just words!
"Tian Tian, can you give your aunt some advice? My legs are a bit thick. There's someone at my workplace... how should I put it, that person has always had a bad mouth and likes to criticize others. At work, he's always talking about how short this person is or how fat that person is. When he sees me, he always says that my legs are thick, like elephant legs."
"Tian Tian, think of a way for me to talk back to you!" Third Aunt Lei looked at Tian Tian with eager eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tiantian quickly tugged at Yao Shula beside her.
"My eldest sister is the best at roasting men, so you should ask her this question! Eldest sister, don't you agree?"
Yao Shula smiled and nodded.
"Third Aunt, how come there's someone like that in your workplace? He must have offended a lot of people." Yao Shula said with a smile.
"That's right! Our unit is a retirement home. There's not much money to be made, but everyone who gets in has connections."
"He has a sharp tongue, and nobody likes him. Whenever the boss says something to him, he says it's just a joke, and none of us want to talk to him." Auntie San sighed.
Yao Shula responded with an "oh".
"Isn't this simple? If he criticizes you, you can criticize him back. If he says your legs are thick again next time, don't get angry. Just calmly ask him if he's particularly sensitive to thickness, or if everything looks thick to him because he's too thin."
My third aunt, having been through it all, understood immediately...
Everyone except Xiaotian understood immediately...
Holy crap, for some men, that's a killer move!
These two siblings... are terrifying!
