Chapter 2013

Elaine is cooking on the first floor, and when she hears Lady Wilson scolding the street early in the morning, she quickly comes out on her crutches to watch the fun. This time, Charlie and Claire also happened to go downstairs and saw Elaine who came out on crutches. Elaine hurriedly asked excitedly, “Hey, did you guys hear that dead old woman cursing the street?” Charlie and Claire nodded, Claire said with some embarrassment, “What's wrong with Grandma? She’s cursing on the second floor terrace early in the morning.” When Elaine heard this, she said excitedly, “Claire, quick! Help me upstairs!” Claire said helplessly, “Mom, what’s there to see…” Elaine, with her right arm on the crutch and her left arm slapped on the sitting leg, took off, “What could be better than this? Hurry up and help me, or you won’t be able to see the show if you’re late!” Claire could only sigh and said, “Then I’ll help you up.” When Charlie saw this, he took the first step to help Elaine up and said, “Honey, it’s better for me to help Mom.” Claire nodded and said, “Then I’ll go press the elevator.” The two helped Elaine all the way to the third floor, and when Elaine came to the terrace and looked down, she saw old Mrs. Wilson next door sitting on the floor of the second floor terrace and cursing. Previously, in the house, you could only hear Lady Wilson making noise, but you couldn’t hear what she was saying, but after coming out, the sound immediately became clearer. Lady Wilson was still cursing, “You Hannah, you’re a thousand cuts! How dare you steal my hard-earned money! Where’s your conscience? I curse you for getting hit by a car on your way out!” When Elaine heard this, she laughed and shouted, “Hey, old woman, what’s wrong with this? Isn’t your eldest daughter-in-law the most filial and agreeable to you? Why is she stealing your hard-earned money on New Year’s Eve?” Lady Wilson suddenly heard Elaine’s voice, looked up and saw Elaine’s smiling face, and suddenly became angry and gnashed her teeth and scolded, “Elaine, our family business has nothing to do with you, you shrew! Don’t you dare talk sarcasm here!” Elaine left her mouth: “Lady, you yourself are seventy years old, and you are cursing on the terrace in the morning, why do you still have the face to call me a shrew? You’ve got some thick skin!”

Lady Wilson said angrily, “You’re stupid! The biggest shrew in the world is you, Elaine, and you still think you can pretend to be a good person now that you’re living in Thompson First and dressing like you’re rich?” Elaine was not angry, and said with a smile, “Oh, old woman, you are right , I am a resident of Thompson First, this resident of Thompson First, we live in the best villa in the whole Thompson First thanks to my good son-in-law, you are living in Thompson First by the mercy of the Webb family and you dare to steal other people’s food, do you want to shame? Oh yes! Did your family enjoy the chives you stole from our house last time?” “You…. You….” Lady Wilson was trembling with anger and gritted her teeth, “Elaine! I haven’t paid you back for the daffodil you used on me! Don’t you fucking dare mention this to me!” Elaine laughed and said, “You’re the one who stole our plants, so why can’t I mention it? I also heard that it was because she ate our “chives” that your eldest daughter-in-law found out she was pregnant, right? So in the end, you have our garden to thank for this one! If it weren’t for this, your son would be a happy father!” The poisoning from the daffodil and the incontinence were the most helpless moments in her life, and every time she thought of them, her heart felt like a knife. She was already immersed in the pain of having her hard-earned money stolen, and now she was being mocked by Elaine by revisiting the past, so the fire in her heart was about to ignite this villa! Just when she wanted to scold Elaine, but didn’t know where to begin, a police car arrived in front of the villa. Police officers stepped out of the car, and Wendy also hurriedly opened the gate, so one of them asked Wendy, “Did your family call the police?” Wendy hurriedly said, “That’s right, that’s right, it was my grandmother who told me to call the police…” As soon as she heard this, Lady Wilson hurriedly stood up and leaned on the terrace guardrail, crying bitterly and shouting out, “Comrade police officer, you must help us! Our house has been burglarized! I can’t live with my hard-earned money gone!”
