Chapter 393: Chapter 393: She is a Jinx

Si Xiaohui always shouted at Si Boyi because he used to spoil her. She dared to scold him for not treating her mother well. But when Si Boyi really lost his temper, he looked quite terrifying, and Si Xiaohui immediately fell silent.

Her personality had been such from a young age, bullying the weak and fearing the strong among her family members.

The nicer you were to her, the more she would tread on your face.

However, with her uncle around at this moment, Si Xiaohui, although scared, still felt resentful, her eyes turned red, and she complained to Si Weimin, "Uncle, you see, I didn’t lie! Since my second brother and first brother got married, their attitude towards me and mother changed, we are redundant to them. They would rather we vanished from the world."

Despite Si Xiaohui’s apparent hurt on the surface, she didn’t feel aggrieved at all. It didn’t matter if her brothers weren’t good to her, as long as her uncle knew no one loved her, he would treat her better.

As for the elder brother and second elder brother, since they no longer cared for her after marriage, it was fine for the relationship to sour. She had her little uncle after all.

As expected, Si Weimin looked for an opportunity to vent his anger for Si Xiaohui and Lin Fengying when he heard this, and outrage shone in his eyes, "Boyi, I can tolerate you not taking me seriously as your uncle, but I can’t stand you mistreating Xiaohui and your mother. Your father died early, and there aren’t many relatives beside you. Your mother worked hard to raise you all. If you are ungrateful, and I don’t stand up for your mother, how is she supposed to live?"

Si Boyi’s speech was poor, and a few words from Si Weimin silenced him.

With someone standing up for her, Si Xiaohui immediately picked up her arrogant attitude, while Lin Fengying acted very wronged. If one didn’t know better, they would think that she was truly being bullied by her son and daughter-in-law.

After his speech, Si Weimin did not stop, but directed his accusations at Tong Yao. He first gave her a disgruntled look, then sternly said.

"Tong Yao, some things, originally I didn’t want to say, after all, I’m an uncle figure, and these matters have been years old. You are a junior, and it doesn’t relate much to you."

Probably guessing what Si Weimin wanted to say, a hint of sarcasm loomed in Tong Yao’s eyes. She wasn’t in a hurry, patiently listening to Si Weimin’s lecture.

Then he sighed deeply, with some tones of resentment, "However, looking at you treating your mother-in-law like this, I have to stand up, or else everyone will think that just because my elder brother isn’t around, no one will stand up for her, and she can be bullied by anyone."

Now Lin Fengying sensed what Si Weimin wanted to say, she looked subtly uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to stop Si Weimin, but Tong Yao beat her to speaking out first.

"Uncle, just speak your mind! Since everyone is here, let’s listen together."

"Since you call me uncle, then I am your elder, and I’ll say this straightforwardly." Seeing that Tong Yao seemed very unconvinced, Si Boyi wearing a gloomy face, he brought up the past, "Years ago, my brother saved your father, and he did your family a favor. The many years of hardship your mother-in-law has suffered largely resulted from the incident back then. Allowing you to marry Xiaochen was probably your father’s way to repay the favor, and for you to show filial piety before your mother-in-law."

"Before Boyi and Lijuan, you are the elder sister-in-law, you should lead your siblings in showing respect to your mother-in-law. But look at what you’ve done, look at your mother-in-law’s state now, do you think you have shown your filial piety?"

Si Weimin, after surviving in Kyoto for many years, struck deeply with his words, attributing the death of his brother and the sufferings of Lin Fengying all these years to Tong Yaohui, even saying the marriage of Tong Yao and Si Chen was to repay kindness.

As if the Tong family really owed the Si family a lot, even Si Boyi felt this was somewhat far-fetched. He subconsciously wanted to defend Tong Yao, but heard Si Xiaohui antagonizing shrilly from the side.

"Uncle, she is not here to repay the kindness! She is paying back kindness with enmity. Ever since she married into our family, we haven’t had a moment of peace. I almost got kidnapped because of a quarrel with her. She is a jinx, she is here to harm our family."

"Xiaohui." Si Boyi couldn’t stand it anymore and harshly reprimanded, "If you dare to say one more word, you get out right now."

Si Xiaohui got scared and quickly hid behind Si Weimin, sticking out her head resentfully, "Mom and Uncle are here, it’s not your turn to control me."

"You..."

Si Boyi wanted to discipline Si Xiaohui but got stopped by Tong Yao who wanted to stick to the topic of the old matters. Otherwise, the topic would be diverted by the issues between Si Boyi and Si Xiaohui.

"Uncle, since you brought up the old matters, let’s discuss them thoroughly. I have a lot of doubts. I wanted to ask yesterday, but Mom said we should not bring up the past since the person was long gone. But from your words just now, I realized that if we don’t make it clear, our family will bear this burden forever."

Tong Yao stared straight at Si Weimin, cryptically saying, "From what you were meaning just now, my father-in-law got injured saving my father, leading to his death. We are grateful to my father-in-law for saving my father, but about my father-in-law’s cause of death, I think we need to make it clear."

"My father said that my father-in-law was supposed to recover after a period of rest and it wouldn’t affect his future. But after you and my mother-in-law came to Kyoto, my father-in-law mysteriously fell from the second floor, leading to permanent injuries and paraplegia. Ahchen also said, my father-in-law committed suicide half a year after returning to his hometown. Uncle, I want to know who is telling the truth, how did my father-in-law die?"

When Si Weimin interrogated Tong Yao harshly, she was not weak either. When counterattacking Si Weimin, her words were equally pointed.

Si Weimin originally believed Si Chen wouldn’t have told Tong Yao about his older brother’s cause of death, so he thought of exploiting the past to pressure Tong Yao. At this moment, he realized completely his mistake. This niece-in-law was much smarter than he had thought. She perhaps already knew about the past matters and had purposely led him to speak out those words. _{n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com}

And he had carelessly fallen into her trap.

The truth about his older brother’s death was known by most people in the village. It was impossible to cover it up. Being cornered by Tong Yao now, Si Weimin was rendered speechless, his face as pale as a sheet.

In the past, Si Weimin had never thought that one day he would be put in such a difficult spot by a junior.

Lin Fengying’s face looked even worse than Si Weimin’s. Those present were her children and daughters-in-law. If the previous scandals were dug up now, she would rather be dead than face the shame.

Seeing both people keeping silent, Si Boyi anxious, "Mom, how did dad really die?"
