The second aunt didn’t fight back and lowered her head. If being slapped could save her husband and children, she was willing to endure it.
Seeing her like this, Mother Pan was so furious that she felt dizzy.
Noticing her mother-in-law’s pale face, Bai Xue’er quickly helped her sit down while saying, "Mother, please calm down."
Once she was seated and drinking some water, Bai Xue’er turned to the second aunt and said coldly, "Second aunt, I will try to find a way. You should leave now."
Knowing that staying any longer would only worsen things, the second aunt picked up her bag and quietly left.
After the second aunt left, Mother Pan held her daughter-in-law’s hand and asked, "Xue’er, do you really have a way to help your second aunt?"
"If you can’t, then we will just reject her. No matter how your second uncle’s relatives tried to implicate us, they didn’t have any evidence. Without that, all of the accusations are slander."
After a moment of silence, Bai Xue’er replied, "Mother, don’t worry. I will contact Jueyu and see if she can help us."
"If you help them this time, what if your second uncle’s relatives ask for more next time? We can’t always help them, right? What if we have no way to help?" Mother Pan asked worriedly.
"People like them will never be satisfied. They take our help for granted, and if you one day refuse, they will point their fingers at you and make you look like a bad person."
"Mother, you can be at ease. If I can’t handle this matter, my husband is around. I can ask for his help," Bai Xue’er reassured her mother-in-law. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Only after hearing this did Mother Pan feel slightly relieved. While she no longer felt worried, she still felt angry toward her second sister-in-law.
Usually, she always put on airs as the Mayor’s wife whenever there was a family gathering. Who would have thought that she also got suppressed in her husband’s family?
After staying with her mother-in-law for a while, Bai Xue’er left and went to the post office. Since this matter was urgent, she planned to send a telegram to Lu Jueyu.
When she arrived at the post office, there were only several people sending packages and letters. She joined the line and waited. Five minutes later, it was her turn.
"Hello, comrade. Do you want to send a letter or check your letter?" the staff asked.
"Comrade, I want to send a telegram," Bai Xue’er replied.
The staff nodded and handed her a small piece of paper. Holding the pen, she wrote down a short message and handed the message to the staff.
