Chapter 537 Sheng Fang Unleashes Her Power
"Alright, stop arguing, let's get our third brother to the hospital first."
Although the eldest brother also disapproved of his third brother's wife, his third brother was still unconscious, and nothing was more important than human life, so he adopted the demeanor of the eldest brother.
Hua Yan really wanted to see how Sheng Fang would treat Gou Lanju, and also to vent her anger for Tai'an in her previous life, but now was indeed not a good time.
Tai Chunzhi had already sent his son home to prepare the carriage; the hospital in the district was quite a distance, and a carriage would be faster. He hadn't expected that even at this point, his third sister-in-law would still be so troublesome.
Hua Yan saw Tai Angzhi's injuries. She could heal him, but she didn't want to. She wanted him to suffer a little, as a way of avenging Tai An from her previous life. Because of his inaction, he watched helplessly as Gou Lanju and her children bullied Tai An. If he had even a shred of conscience, Tai An wouldn't have had such a hard life in his previous life.
The other children suffered minor bumps and bruises, but Tai Ang's two children were more seriously injured because they were sitting in the front passenger seat and were the first to be hit.
Hua Yan not only wanted them to suffer, but also wanted them to bleed.
"Sister, stop arguing! The children are injured, let's get to the hospital right away!"
Gou Lanju's sister, seeing her child covered in blood, disregarded everything else, because she didn't want to go home and be scolded by her husband. As for compensation, she'd deal with that later.
At this moment, Taibin, the eldest son of the eldest brother's family, had already arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Hurry up, carry the third brother up. Third sister-in-law, you take these children with you."
Tai Chun was making arrangements.
The second brother, Taiyi, had previously sent his son, Taigang, back to prepare a horse-drawn carriage, and now he has arrived.
Everyone was getting ready to get into the carriage when two elderly people, around seventy years old, staggered over from a distance.
"Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"
Tai Ran saw her parents running towards her and quickly went to greet them.
"Ranzhi, is your third brother alright?"
It was the old man who spoke, his face full of worry.
"It's nothing, he just fainted."
Actually, Tai Ranzhi didn't know if anything was wrong or not, but he couldn't let the old man worry.
"Your mother and I will go and take a look too."
As he spoke, Mr. Tai tried to pull his wife into the car.
"Dad, Mom, why are you following along? We're fine with just a few of us."
Taiyi stopped his elderly father.
"Dad, Mom, you should still come with us. Angzhi is unconscious right now, and I'm really scared. Also, these children are injured."
Gou Lanju was worried that her brothers would treat her poorly at the hospital, so she wanted the two elderly people to come with her.
"Third sister-in-law, don't you understand anything? How old are Mom and Dad? Don't you feel bad about making them worry?"
The eldest brother, Tai Chun, was now on the verge of exploding with rage.
Gou Lanju wanted to say something, but looking at the brothers, Sheng Fang, and the neighbors, she didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
"Dad, Mom, you should go back now! Xiaofang, take your parents to our house and make sure they entertain Jingxing and the child well."
Tai Ran pushed the two elderly people back, then looked apologetically at Hua Jingxing.
"Ranzhi, I'll go and take a look too."
Although Hua Jingxing thought this matter had nothing to do with him, he had to go along because of his friendship with Tai Ranzhi.
"Jingxing, no need."
"No need, Jingxing, you are a guest, please come in and have a seat."
"Jingxing, we'll come back as soon as the third brother is alright. Why don't you go visit the fourth brother?"
Tai Ran and his brothers quickly refused. They already felt guilty towards Hua Jingxing for this matter, and it would be even more unreasonable to ask him to come along.
"It's alright, I'll go check it out to put my mind at ease."
Hua Jingxing persisted.
The others saw this and didn't press the matter further, since Tai Angzhi was still unconscious.
After watching the carriage drive away, the crowd dispersed, and Shengfang took the three Huajiao sisters and the two elderly people home.
"Dad, Mom, my third sister-in-law went too far today."
Shengfang explained the whole story to the two elderly people.
Tai Ran's parents remained silent for a long time, without saying a word.
Seeing the two elderly people's attitude, Sheng Fang's anger flared up instantly.
Normally, Gou Lanju is unreasonable, but her sisters-in-law turn a blind eye to it. After all, no matter how big the problem is, it can't be over this word "Tai".
Now, Sheng Fang is no longer willing to tolerate it. Not to mention that the responsibility for today's events lies entirely with Tai Angzhi, she cannot allow this matter to be left unresolved, even considering Hua Jingxing's affection for Tai Ranzhi.
“Dad, Mom, I’ve tolerated your indulgence of my third sister-in-law. It’s not for any other reason than that I don’t want to put my husband in a difficult position. But she takes our humility for granted.”
Today, my third brother crashed into Jingxing's car, and my third sister-in-law turned around and accused him, demanding compensation from him. How could she be so shameless?
Regardless of my sister-in-law's attitude, if you two cannot handle this matter fairly today, Ranzhi and I will no longer concern ourselves with family matters.
You're willing to let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch, but we're not willing to eat fried dough sticks!
She usually bullies everyone in the village because of Ranzhi's status. Nobody wants to argue with her or cause Ranzhi any trouble, so everyone tolerates it. If we hadn't experienced it ourselves, we wouldn't believe it if others told us.”
Sheng Fang wasn't just bluffing; she rarely said anything harsh, but when she did, she meant what she said.
"Fourth brother's wife, we didn't say we wouldn't take responsibility. We don't know the situation of your third brother yet. Once things are settled, your father and I will have a good talk with them."
Tai Ranzhi's mother spoke up. She always favored Tai Angzhi. Tai Angzhi was thin and frail, unlike his other brothers who were tall and strong. The reason was that when she was pregnant with Tai Angzhi, the Japanese army swept through the country and they had no food or water.
He was born extremely small, and the old lady thought he wouldn't survive. Fortunately, he survived, but he never grew to his full size. Therefore, the two elderly people always favored this son, as well as his daughter-in-law.
Sheng Fang was used to the old couple favoring her, so the fact that she said such harsh words today was because she was really angry.
"I believe that parents have a sense of justice, and they know in their hearts how well everyone has done."
As the saying goes, "It's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality." When someone benefits and feels entitled, it's infuriating. Doing something once or twice is fine, but if it happens repeatedly or over time, remember we're all born of the same parents; no one has the right to indulge the other.
Sheng Fang was truly furious and stopped saying anything, continuing to cook with her sister-in-law. Hua Jingxing and the others weren't there, but the children were; they couldn't be neglected.
The elderly couple looked at each other, a feeling of unspoken unease lingering in their eyes. They weren't senile; they knew their third son's wife was sharp-tongued, but they couldn't help but side with her.
Judging from the way the fourth son's wife looked today, if this matter is not handled fairly, it will upset the fourth son and also make the eldest and second sons dissatisfied, so she is a little unsure.
