Chapter 137: Bullying the Weak, Fearing the Strong

“Who asked you to butt in?” The mother-in-law shot a fierce glare.

The young daughter-in-law immediately shut her mouth.

Just then, the younger girl started crying, and the young mother hurried to comfort her daughter.

But the mother-in-law, still fuming from being embarrassed by her daughter-in-law earlier, was in no mood to calm down.

Hearing her granddaughter cry, she immediately started scolding, “You little brat, what are you crying for? If you keep crying, I’ll throw you out!”

The three-year-old girl was so frightened by this that she cried even harder. “Waaah, waaah...”

“I told you to stop crying! Are you deaf? Do you need a beating?”

She reached out and pinched the little girl.

The child cried even harder from the pain.

The young mother’s heart ached at the sight. “Mom, please don’t pinch Niuniu. I’ll calm her down, I won’t let her cry—”

The nasty mother-in-law glared at her. “I’ll pinch my own granddaughter if I want. What, you think you can tell me what to do?”

The young daughter-in-law, face pale and eyes red, didn’t dare say another word.

“Are you done yet? Is this your house? Don’t you know you’re disturbing the rest of us?” Mrs. Fu hadn’t wanted to get involved at first.

After all, when you’re out and about, it’s better to avoid trouble.

But she really couldn’t stand it anymore—mainly because the crying and yelling were about to scare her own two kids.

As soon as she spoke up, the angry mother-in-law immediately found a new target to vent her rage on.

“How I discipline my daughter-in-law and granddaughter is none of your damn business!”

But Mrs. Fu wasn’t about to back down.

She shot right back, “If you want to discipline them, do it at home. Don’t shout and scream here and disturb everyone else. Or did your big-shot son never teach you how to behave in public?”

The nasty mother-in-law exploded when she heard someone insult her son. “You old bitch, looking for trouble—”

She rushed over, ready to attack Mrs. Fu, but Fu Mingxue reacted quickly and pinned her down.

“Who are you calling an old bitch? Want me to knock your teeth out?”

What rotten luck, to run into such a piece of work on a bus.

The mother-in-law struggled, but couldn’t break free. “You little bitch, let go of me! My son is—”

Fu Mingxue sneered coldly, her face expressionless.

“Don’t bring up your son. If you do, I’ll go to his unit and have a word with him about how his mother uses his position to bully others. Or maybe I should just report this to his commanding officer?”

The young daughter-in-law’s face changed dramatically when she heard this.

She hurriedly apologized to Fu Mingxue, over and over. “I’m sorry, my mother-in-law doesn’t mean any harm, she’s just in a bad mood. Please don’t hold it against her.”

Fu Mingxue glanced at her, then at the now-silent, humiliated mother-in-law.

She gave a cold snort. “You’d better behave yourselves for the rest of this trip. If you want to ‘educate’ someone, do it outside. Otherwise, I’ll go straight to your son’s unit. I mean what I say.”

With that, she finally let go and returned to her seat.

The mother-in-law was exactly the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.

After seeing what Fu Mingxue could do, she knew she was no match for this “little bitch.”

And with the threat of her son’s unit being involved, whether or not Fu Mingxue could really do it, she had no choice but to keep quiet for now—though she still shot Fu Mingxue a hateful glare.

Hmph, you little bitch, just you wait—

Back at her own bunk, still seething, she slapped her daughter-in-law. “Useless thing, you just stood there and watched me get hit?”

The young daughter-in-law seemed used to being slapped and didn’t dare make a sound.

She just hugged her daughter even tighter.

Fu Mingxue watched coldly, but didn’t say anything more.

After all, she didn’t interfere in other people’s fates."
