"l cannot believe you had the audacity to call my mother horrible! You were the one who made the first mistake by coming to our home and insulting us. If you dare to set foot in our house again today, we will ensure that you face utter humiliation! " Yang Xiaoni said, "Very right!"
Ms. Fang snorted, and glanced proudly at the two daughter-in-laws of hers.
Things were different now. She was safeguarded by people as well. No one could bully her any more.
Mrs.Zhang was so annoyed. "You… how…"
The others exchanged glances, their expressions filled with disdain as they directed their disapproval towards Mrs. Zhang. They regretted believing Ms. Zhang and now questioned her character, especially considering the behavior of her children.
Agreeing to accompany them here to reconcile with the Shao Family was a grave mistake, and they couldn't help but feel humiliated by the whole situation.
Qiao Xuan had recently dispatched someone to summon the second section of the family, telling them that the Zhang Family had returned with demands for money. Their intention was to use the first section of the family's assistance as leverage against the second section of the family, coercing them into making a deal.
Ms. Niu had always been irritated by Ms. Zhangs actions, but her irritation had now transformed into intense hatred. Ms. Zhang had not only stolen from them to provide for her own family but had also manipulated her own son.
When news reached Ms. Niu that the Zhang Family was attempting to gain control over the second section of the family through the first section, her anger reached its boiling point.
Fueled by fury, Ms. Niu approached the Zhang Family and directed her scathing words directly at them, not holding back her contempt for Ms. Zhang and her actions.
Ms. Niu firmly informed the Zhang Family to cease their harassment, emphasizing that they had no chance of marrying someone like Ms. Zhang, regardless of Shao Erlangs potential future remarriage.
Unable to contain her frustration, Mrs. Zhang engaged in a heated argument
with Ms. Niu, their confrontation on the verge of turning physical.
The Land Officer, growing exasperated, developed a headache. He could no longer tolerate the situation and bid a forced, polite farewell to Shao Yunduan, swiftly escorting the Zhang Family away.
Ms. Niu spat in their direction before storming off, seething with anger.
Peace and quiet descended once again, prompting a collective sigh of relief from the first section of the Shao Family.
The Zhang Family's incessant arguments and disruptive behavior earned them a reputation for being unreasonable, noisy, and bothersome.
Eldest Uncle strongly disapproved of their conduct and emotionally expressed, "Yunduan, you are the Provincial Champion. You should treat the villagers with kindness and not forget your roots or mistreat them."
Upon hearing Eldest Uncle's words, Ms. Fang couldn't help but express, "Mistreating them?" She found his remarks about her husband unjust.
"Are we expected to consider an immoral woman like Ms. Zhang as family? The Zhang Family is far from virtuous, especially when their children are raised to behave this way! That old woman even cursed at me! Do you think I should just smile and tolerate such behavior?"
"They are not worthy of being considered our fellow villagers. What are you even saying?!" Ms. Fang retorted vehemently.
"Dad!" Shao Yunduan interjected, feeling helpless. "l am just a Provincial Champion, not even holding a significant position! It is premature to discuss forgetting one's roots at this stage. Many people harbor jealousy towards me and secretly plot against me. We should never associate ourselves with individuals like that!"
"We should never have any connection with The Zhang Family and the Zhao Family. You never know what they are plotting! If you find it unbearable, then stay out of the limelight. Don't interfere in anything related to me, Dad!"
Ms. Fang reassured him, "Duan, don't worry. I am here! I will never let anyone like them tarnish your reputation. I won't forgive anyone who tries to harm you.."
