Chapter 2499: Chapter 2499: Look at Her, What Does She Look Like?
The old man initially wanted to go look with his son. He had a gut feeling that if Daya wasn’t home, it was certainly linked to this daughter-in-law.
But considering the nature of his daughter-in-law, he dared not leave the old woman alone at home, so he had to stay.
At least with two adults around, the daughter-in-law wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
“Hmph.”
Seeing Daya’s Father leave, Big Sister snorted coldly and crawled up from the ground.
“Who’s afraid of whom? A dead girl, it’s your family who treats her like a treasure. Otherwise, it’d be better to quickly sell her, at least you’d have more money in hand.”
She muttered softly, raising her hand to touch her swollen, bleeding face from the hit, grimacing in pain.
“You, you…”
The old woman heard her daughter-in-law’s words and started trembling with anger.
How can someone be like this? Isn’t Daya the flesh that fell from her body?
Their family never favored boys over girls. As a mother-in-law, she hadn’t even blamed the daughter-in-law for having a daughter first, yet she herself resented the child she carried for ten months.
What kind of sin had they committed to bring such a daughter-in-law into the family?
“What about it? Hmph, I can’t be bothered with you.”
Big Sister, facing the old couple, reverted to her sharp-tongued self. She still didn’t know what the outcome awaited her.
“You—”
The old woman got even angrier seeing her attitude.
As Big Sister turned to leave, she turned to look at her old man, “Old man, look at her, what kind of person is she? Doesn’t she have the demeanor of a mother, or a daughter-in-law?”
The old man said nothing, just shook his head.
Right now, he was most eager to know where Daya went. Could that woman really be so nasty to abandon her own daughter?
“I should go look for her too.”
“No.”
Just as he was about to step outside, the old woman held him back.
“There’s only me at home, I’m not at ease.”
It’s not that she’s worried about getting hurt by Big Sister, but their home did have some savings, and today their son had a big fight with his daughter-in-law.
She feared her daughter-in-law might stealthily pack up things from the house and return to her family, leaving nothing behind for them.
At the very least, there had to be someone at home, or wait until tonight when she could hide away the valuable items at home.
“Let the son look for Daya alone, if worse comes to worst, he can ask people in the village to help. If the family’s possessions are gone, life’s going to be tough for us.”
The old man thought about it and agreed with his old wife’s reasoning, nodding in agreement.
What they failed to notice was Big Sister hiding behind the door, listening to them talk the whole time.
“Hmph, that old hag is cautious about me, huh? Damn hag, do they think they can guard this stuff forever? They better hope I don’t get a chance, or I’ll make sure they lose everything!”
Today, things completely fell apart with that man. Dreaming of the days when she could live without lifting a finger was impossible now.
Earlier, she was planning to wait until the old man left and then take all the valuable items and go back to her family.
But didn’t expect that damn hag to be vigilant against her, and didn’t let the old man leave.
