Wang Muxiao raised an eyebrow when she heard the old woman's words and said, "Oh? So you dare to say it but don't dare to admit it? Well, it's understandable since you only dare to bully those weaker than you."
The old woman was enraged and pointed at her, stammering, "You, you are—"
Before she could finish, Wang Muxiao cut her off. "What about me? Do you think everyone is blind or deaf?"
"In this ward, only my husband and I befriend a doctor. Only my husband is taking care of me and my children. Your words were clearly aimed at me. We have no grudge, yet your foul mouth keeps running like a stray dog."
"I understand if you are jealous that I married into a good family and my husband loves me. But what does that have to do with you?"
"You are already so old and on your way to the coffin, yet your heart is still so dark, and your mouth is so vicious. Aren't you afraid that when you die, no one will bury you?"
"If you keep staring at me and my family, believe it or not, I will gouge out your eyes and slap you until all your teeth fall out!"
Everyone was stunned by her words. The old woman was so shocked and furious that she gasped for breath. The young woman beside her was terrified when she saw her mother-in-law's face turn as pale as paper.
Fearing she might faint or die from anger, the young woman quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I apologize to you. Please don't lower yourself to my mother's level."
She thought that after saying this, Wang Muxiao would let the matter go. But who was Wang Muxiao?
If she didn't peel off a layer of that old woman's skin, how could she suppress her annoyance?
Not only did she not stop, but her words turned even nastier.
She looked at the young woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I see you have good hips and a strong figure. You must have good fortune in bearing sons. But from what that old hag said, it seems you don't have a son."
Hearing this, the young woman let out a long sigh and said, "I am fertile, but I only gave birth to daughters. I already have three daughters but no son."
After she said this, Wang Muxiao clicked her tongue and said, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you. Having a son or daughter isn't up to us—it all depends on our husbands."
The young woman's eyes flashed with surprise as she asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Wang Muxiao shook her head and asked with a sigh, "Take my family, for example. When everyone else wants a son, my family wants a daughter. Do you know why?"
Everyone looked confused. Seeing them shake their heads, Wang Muxiao continued, "That's because my family always has sons but rarely daughters. In my mother-in-law's family, she is the only daughter. In my father-in-law's family, there are no daughters."
