Wang Xiaoni knew that the longer she stayed, the more distressed her mother would become.
Her mother did not want to see her in conflict with her brothers.
She had no choice but to leave, "Mom, I will come to visit you often."
She said this specifically for her brothers and sisters-in-law.
The family’s faces indeed changed upon hearing this. Li Banlian and Liu Ping exchanged glances, both feeling uneasy.
But at least it was better than Wang Xiaoni taking her mother-in-law to live with her.
After all, the Yue Family was now wealthy, currently renting several plots of land for others to farm, and they also owned a famous fish pond.
During the holidays, they could send many fine things, and all these ultimately ended up with Li Banlian and Liu Ping.
They certainly did not want to give up these benefits.
Wang Xiaoni tidied her mother’s white hair, then stood up, ready to leave.
At this moment, Wang Biao spoke with a smile, "Aunt, I heard that Yue Qingqing recently returned to Daye Village, shall I take her out tomorrow?"
Wang Xiaoni coldly replied, "Qingqing has Xiaohu and Xingxing with her, no need for your trouble."
"We are all relatives, what trouble could there be? It’s all something I should do." Wang Biao shamelessly said, "I heard from mom that Qingqing is becoming prettier by the day. It’s been a long time since I last saw her; after all, everyone here is family."
He was obviously still harboring thoughts of "adding kinship upon kinship."
Wang Xiaoni spoke more today than she usually did in several days combined and did not mind saying more at this moment.
"Wang Biao, your aunt watched you grow up, but have you ever heard the saying, ’It’s important to know oneself’?"
Li Banlian frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Xiaoni was not afraid to tear off the façade, "Although you haven’t seen Qingqing’s father for a long time, you must have heard about him. This year, Zhuancheng rated the top ten best businesses in the city, among them was Yue Jiandong. He not only owns a shopping mall, but he also has other businesses under him, not just anyone can afford to marry into his family."
Li Banlian of course knew all these, otherwise why would she have set her sights on Yue Qingqing immediately?
The girl was an only daughter.
Years ago, people advised Yue Jiandong to have a son to inherit the family business, but Yue Jiandong had immediately said that he would only have this one daughter in his lifetime, and he would absolutely not have another child.
Whoever married Yue Qingqing would inherit Yue Jiandong’s family business.
Li Banlian’s idea was to "end the lineage with a decisive stroke."
But being bluntly told by Wang Xiaoni that her own son was not worthy of Yue Qingqing, her face burned with embarrassment and anger.
"Nonsense, a wild girl raised as a fairy, I don’t think she’s all that remarkable."
Wang Xiaoni said no more, just sneered coldly and walked out without looking back.
Wang Biao felt as if he had been harshly slapped, somewhat frantic and furious.
"Aunt, I still hold some sway in Daye Village."
He was a bully; tall, strong, and good at fighting, indeed, many people feared him.
As soon as he spoke, Wang Xiaoni immediately turned around and stared at him intently.
"You call me aunt, so let me remind you that we now live in a society governed by law. If anything happens to Qingqing in Daye Village, her father can hire the best lawyer in Zhuancheng, and then even your parents will have to bring you food in prison!"
These words were quite impolite, but they only made Wang Biao even more infuriated.
Li Banlian had not expected that, from encountering Yue Qingqing and her party, it would take less than two hours to completely fall out with her sister-in-law.
Previously, both sides had kept up appearances of amicability.
But from this moment, even that semblance of consideration was likely gone.
She was alternately annoyed and angry, and in a fit of rage, she slapped the bowl in front of her mother-in-law off the table.
"Look at the good daughter you raised; this is how she treats her own family?"
The old lady watched as the bowl smashed and rice scattered on the floor, tears uncontrollably falling.
