Kapitel 114: Grandma to the rescue!

Done with our refreshments, we head home, where we find the bitch waiting for us with a scowling expression. As soon as we get in the house, she starts scolding me for not waiting at home for her, for taking the girls out, and so on. I endure the barrage of nagging and insults even though I would like nothing more than twisting her neck like a chicken, but before I lose my patience, Laura blows her top and starts scolding and berating her daughter. My bitchy wife, long used to me accepting passively her actions and words, is at loss for how to defend herself against her furious mom, so she just stands there with her head lowered while Laura enumerates all her failures as a wife, as a mother, and as a host. Man, this is so liberating! Even though I know that I will have to pay for it in the long run, as the bitch is not somebody willing to forgive and forget, it is totally worth it! After the scolding ends, I head to the kitchen to fix lunch while the girls squirrel away to Ella's room. Ella knows that it is in her mom's character to blame others for her faults, so she grabbed the first opportunity to drag Rose away from the ongoing "soap opera" so as to shield her from the bitch. The bitch went to her room to unpack, while a still quite pissed-off Laura joins me in the kitchen to help with the cooking. We work harmoniously together, both purposely avoiding mentioning the previous fiasco, and soon we have a small feast ready. The bitch would probably have loved skipping lunch and remaining in her room, but dares not offer her mom any more ammunition. Thus, we enjoy a quiet if awkward lunch before I have to drive Laura home. I leave the girls at home on purpose, as I can feel that Laura needs to vent herself a bit. True to my prediction, as soon as we drive away from the house Laura starts swearing. She goes on for ten minutes non-stop without even once repeating herself! Even if her swear words are on the mild side, this is not exactly what I expected.
