Sun Mei and Zhao Dong were particular sore spots for Sun Ying and Granny Guan. The better Sun Mei's life became, the more resentful Sun Ying and Granny Guan grew.
Now, hearing this, their faces turned as black as the soot on the bottom of a pot. In the end, they angrily turned around and went back home.
"PTUI! What rubbish!" the Aunt spat towards Granny Guan's house.
Then she looked at Sun Lan. "Little Sister, why are you standing outside the courtyard all alone? If I hadn't noticed you'd been gone a while after throwing out the water and come looking for you, Sun Ying and her daughter would have bullied you to death."
Sun Lan nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
At this moment, Zhao Zhitong and Sun Mei, hearing the commotion outside, also ran out.
Seeing that everything was fine, Sun Mei prepared to pull Sun Lan back home. But her hand had barely grabbed Sun Lan's arm when Sun Lan suddenly gasped and flinched away.
