Chapters 527 and 528: Family Business
Bai Suihe was really having a headache. She had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. It is said that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. If you don't handle it well, you will be blamed by both sides.

Although it's clear that Zhuang Datou and his group were at fault, things haven't reached the point of no return.

Let's see how Zhuang Datou and his group handle this.

He asked about some things in the mansion and learned that everything was normal. Now he was just waiting for the sun to set before going out for a stroll.

After being questioned, Li Huangshi was also very uneasy. She gave some instructions and hurriedly went out. She had to find out some news and couldn't wait until her master asked her questions again, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get back.

He ran into Lin Wei as he went out, and quickly went over to greet him. Only then did he learn that the master was also concerned about this matter and had sent him out to find out more information.

The two shared the same goal and turned onto the stone path that Zhuang Datou and his family had carefully laid out before. How united the family was back then! How could things have changed like this?

Before we even reached Zhuang Datou's house, we could already hear the noise coming from ahead.

People living nearby also came over to take a look, but the two of them were hidden among them and not very conspicuous.

The one causing trouble was Huang Pingguo's mother, a thin, white-haired woman who was sitting on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying out, "What sins have I committed to deserve such an unfilial son?"

They say that once you marry a wife, you forget your mother; today I truly understand that feeling.

That damned Chunhyang, who does she think she is? She's just a whore..."

Lin Wei finally understood what a shrew was; the insults she used were truly unbearable to read.

Fortunately, the master and mistress did not come over, otherwise they would have been furious upon hearing these words.

Chunxiang is such a good person, yet he has humiliated her like this. She took a deep breath and managed not to rush forward.

Li Huangshi was also dumbfounded. She had heard that these two families were rather difficult to deal with, but she was always busy managing the affairs of the courtyard and didn't have time to come here usually, so she really didn't know anything about them.

Seeing this today, I finally understand why even people with such good personalities like Dongmei and Chunxiang couldn't stand it.

Look at what's coming out of her mouth! What she'd heard before couldn't even compare to this woman's.

Huang Pingguo looked on with a headache and turned to the other family members for help, but was met with angry stares.

"Mom, please stop scolding me." Seeing more and more people gathering around, Huang Pingguo also had her pride. She was now in charge, so why didn't her family understand her feelings?

“Why can’t I scold you?” Lü Cuihua pointed at the yellow apple. “I raised you with my own hands and feet, and this is how you repay me?”

Lin Wei heard that familiar phrase again and wished he could cover his ears. He had never thought there was anything wrong with it before, but once when they were out and about, they happened to come across a couple arguing, and they were talking about this very phrase.

The lady looked disgusted and said, "It's really a miracle that the child was raised with so much poop and pee, and she doesn't even find it disgusting."

Just that one sentence made Lin Wei feel like he would remember it for the rest of his life, and his stomach was churning.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Huangshi asked with some concern. She had been fine just now, so why did her expression suddenly change?

Lin Wei felt he couldn't inflict such harm himself, so he raised his voice. As a martial artist, although he didn't shout, his unique sound waves still reached everyone's ears. "I just feel a little disgusted. This old lady said she raised Manager Huang from infancy, how poor must her family be to live on such a meager income?" The scene fell into a deathly silence, followed by sounds of retching.

Lin Wei's lips curled slightly. It seemed that these people had heard this saying before and were now putting themselves into it.

Even Huang Pingguo was dry heaving. When his mother said those words before, he felt quite affectionate towards her. After all, she was his biological mother, and without her, he wouldn't have been able to grow up.

But if my mother says this now, everyone will probably think I grew up eating excrement. Not to mention others, I myself would feel disgusted to death.

Lu Cuihua was a country woman and didn't react immediately. But seeing the reactions of these people, she didn't know what had happened and could only look to her family behind her for help.

His own father stood there, his face ashen, while his other children and grandchildren also retched.

"What happened to you all?" Could it be that there's something wrong with the water in this village, causing this accident?

Thinking of this, Lü Cuihua forgot about settling scores with Huang Pingguo, jumped up and went over to check on her most beloved youngest son, "Ping'an, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huang Ping'an was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back. "Mother, don't come near me. Let me calm down first."

Seeing her beloved youngest son's wary expression, Lü Cuihua felt hurt again and blurted out, "My God, what's wrong? This is my pile of shit..."

"Shut up," the Huang family said in unison. What used to sound like a rhythmic shout now felt like a turd stirring their stomachs.

Lu Cuihua felt her authority at home had been challenged. Seeing all her family members yelling at her, she plopped down on her backside, sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and began to shout, "Gods and Gods, open your eyes and see how much I've done for this family..."

"Mom, can you please stop making a scene?" Huang Pingguo said helplessly. If this continued, he really wouldn't be able to stay in Tian Village anymore.

My mother wasn't like this before, how did she change?

That gentle, hardworking mother would save the best food for her children, not even eating a bite herself, unlike the old woman in front of me.

If Bai Suihe were here, she would tell him that the filter was broken and the true face would be revealed.

"Am I making a fuss? Don't you listen to what you're saying? You come back and inexplicably make our whole family find a place to move out."

"You say we've ruined your family? Listen to that! Is that something a son should say? What do you mean, 'your family' and 'my family'? We haven't separated our households, so this is our family."

The onlookers were in an uproar; they realized this was someone who had come to occupy the house.

However, what she said made sense. Although Huang Pingguo had been away from home for many years, even if her parents did not separate their households or had any separation documents, they were still considered a family.

Huang Pingguo felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Although he wanted to be good to his family, he knew that everyone is selfish and would naturally consider their own interests.

Besides, this house doesn't just belong to him; it was all built for them by the madam out of respect for Chunxiang.

Everything here was accumulated little by little with Chunxiang.
