Chapter 96: Chapter 97: Venting Anger
“What’s the meaning of this?” Tang Zhinian, trembling with anger, and the other people from Li Tang Village were here to vent their anger this time.
“You folks from Sha Village are bullying us, even bullying us from Li Tang Village. Everyone knows that we’re the village that got flooded. You guys instead run over to our side extorting money, and when there’s no money, you beat up children.”
“Look at…” The man pointed at Tang Yuxin who was being held by Tang Zhinian.
“Look at what you’ve done to the kid. This is inhumane. Not to mention you’re her own maternal grandmother. Is our Yuxin a picked up orphan or what that you, Sang Family, mistreated her so horribly? This child so beautifully grown will have her face ruined.”
As the crowd parted, Tang Yuxin held in Tang Zhinian’s arms was revealed. She looked weak, her small face drained of colour. Her long eyelashes drooped down, expressing an image of a soft, pitiful little creature as if bearing a great grievance, prompting the adult men and women to want to hold her and give her a good squeeze.
Any family would hold such a girl as the apple of their eye. Besides, nowadays with family planning policy, not to mention city folks, even in the countryside, children are few.
Which child isn’t the apple of their parents’ eyes? But this grandmother treats her granddaughter so poorly, as if trying to beat her to death.
“If you, Sang Family, do not give us a good explanation, we’ll find your village chief. You’ve bullied us from Li Tang Village, as if we’re easy targets, right?”
“Yes,” another person raised the voice equally angry, “We couldn’t intervene in previous matters when you wanted to disgrace Tang Zhinian as it was a family matter. But now, the two of you have divorced, your hands, no matter how long, cannot reach into someone else’s house.”
Tang Yuxin sniffled, “Uncle, our table,” she pointed at the table placed inside the house, speaking in a milky voice, then she pointed to the stool, “our stool,” and then she pointed one by one at each item, sobbing after each sentence. Everyone in the village knew that the Sang Family used to visit the Tang Family and took whatever they could, how else could the capable Tang brothers, both hardworking people, and Tang Zhinian, a skilled carpenter, live like this?
Now, they finally understood why. As Tang Yuxin pointed out each item, even a child would know that these things belonged to their own family. Everything in the Sang’s house, including the tables and chairs, even plants and trees, were all taken from the Tang Family.
How shameless could somebody be, to do something like this?
The people from Li Tang Village became more infuriated, while the onlookers from Sha Village were red-faced. Seeing Sang’s mother sitting dejectedly, none of them had the face to stay there any longer.
The Sang Family carried away everything from their son-in-law’s house. Furthermore, a few individuals who wanted to get married into the Sang Family were having second thoughts. Sang’s daughters might be beautiful, but what good is beauty? After marriage, divorce was inevitable; they didn’t even want to keep their own child. How heartless this woman could be.
The looks that these people threw at the Sang Family were becoming uncanny.
Of course, no one cared. They would have to deal with the problems they caused. Don’t drag the people from the village into this mess. The village’s young girls, each one better than the next, were not like the shameless Sang Zhilan.
