Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 725 Don’t Challenge Our Luo Family’s Bottom Line

Luo Qiao nodded: "Then tell me what exactly happened yesterday?"

Luo Jialin said: "These days, my two sisters-in-law already had issues with me, but since they knew the food were all subsidies from my family, they held back their dissatisfaction and did not voice it out.

A few days ago, my mother-in-law got a piece of cotton cloth and told me we could use it to make clothes for the two babies in my belly. Somehow, my sisters-in-law overheard.

They were anything but happy. They claimed all children wore hand-me-downs from their older siblings, and it would be better to make clothes for the other grandchildren, as we could inherit them once they outgrew it.

If they made clothes for my unborn babies now, they argued it would be wasteful and a good piece of cloth would go to waste for no reason. This caused several days of tension at home.

So, I took the initiative to tell my mother-in-law that we didn’t need the cloth, and it should be used for my nieces and nephews instead. I thought since Grandma had given me some scraps, I could patch them together to make a few outfits, so it didn’t really matter if we had that cloth or not.

But, to my surprise, after I gave up the cloth, my sisters-in-law started to fight over it, each trying to get it for their own son. Yet, that piece of cloth, enough to make clothes for one child, wasn’t even sufficient for two.

The two had already had a quarrel that morning, and when they returned from work in the afternoon, they continued fighting. When I got back, they were arguing fiercely, and no one had prepared dinner. I tried to mediate to no avail and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

When the rest of the family came home, they tried to intervene, but my sisters-in-law, perhaps with much pent-up anger, grew even more agitated, escalating to physical violence.

Thinking it’d be shameful for the neighbors to witness this, I announced dinner was ready as soon as it was done, hoping the prospect of eating might make them stop fighting.

Instead, they turned towards me and charged in my direction. Before I could dodge, I got caught in the crossfire."

Then she whispered: "I have this feeling that they did it on purpose. You’ve seen our yard, it’s small, but the kitchen is out of the way. They were fighting in the center of the courtyard and suddenly ended up right in front of me."

Both Song Shiya and Luo Qiao looked upset upon hearing this. When Zheng Zhiyuan came in, he was met with the deadly stares of his mother-in-law and aunt.

Stuttering in fear, he said: "Mom, Qiaoqiao, what’s, what’s going on with you all?"

Luo Jialin, perhaps feeling better, also started to speak up to Zheng Zhiyuan about yesterday’s incident: "About what happened yesterday, do you have anything you want to say?"

Zheng Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "I want to divide the family."

Upon hearing this, Song Shiya’s expression softened: "Jialin just had a close call with death today. The most important thing now is for her to recover. As for what you said, we will discuss it with your family tomorrow. You just take good care of Jialin and the children."

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded: "Thank you, Mom."

Luo Qiao stood up and said: "Brother-in-law, I think you are a smart man. You should be clear whether my sister was accidentally caught in the fray or deliberately targeted. Thankfully, your response was just about passable.

If today you had tried to smooth things over for your family, I guarantee you would find out just how protective the Luo Family can be, and you would see what would happen to those two sisters-in-law. Envy is not terrible, jealousy can be understood.

But what they did yesterday was intentional harm. Thankfully, my sister is alright; otherwise, I would have surely sent them to spend time in jail. You can pass a message to the Zheng Family for me—don’t test the limits of the Luo Family.

My sister was raised cherished like a pearl in her own family; she wasn’t sent to the Zheng Family to be mistreated, let alone to nearly lose her life. Don’t think that my words are an empty threat."

Tears appeared in Song Shiya’s eyes: "Zhiyuan, Qiaoqiao is right. You also heard what the doctor said yesterday. Although Jialin is a girl, she grew up treasured by her family. The Zheng Family must provide an explanation for this incident."

Zheng Zhiyuan knew his wife had suffered and his sisters-in-law had gone too far. He then said: "I failed to protect Jialin properly. Mom, you’re right. We’ll do as you say. I have no objections."
