Old Mrs. Song is reborn; get out of here, you scumbag husband and illegitimate child!

Hearing her daughter and Song Xianglan's words, Liu Dahua felt embarrassed and scolded them playfully:

"Lanlan, are you teasing me along with the kids? There aren't that many good men in this world, they're all just burning newspapers on graves—just fooling ghosts."

Huang Shanshan, however, smiled happily.

"Mom, my father-in-law loves my mother-in-law very much, and even the children follow his example and treat their daughters-in-law well."

We sisters-in-law never argue, and even my aunt's husband is a very considerate person. We always discuss things together when there are family matters to consider.

She paused.

The tone was firm:

"A woman who marries a good man can bring prosperity to three generations."

If a man is not upright, then half the sky of the family will collapse.

A good man sets a good example and stands up for his woman. What woman would be so foolish as to nitpick and act like a shrew?

These words.

The room fell silent.

Song Xianglan did not respond.

She stubbornly jumped into the fire pit of the Yang family, only realizing what had happened after her brains were spilled out.

Now, aside from making money, men are just breathing objects in her eyes.

Liu Dahua remained silent, her eyes dim.

She thought of her husband, who was oblivious to his own mortality.

There's no hope for me in this lifetime.

The two best friends, who had experienced many hardships in their lives, exchanged a silent glance and saw a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation in each other's eyes.

have to.

Old best friends shouldn't laugh at each other.

Song Xianglan didn't linger, patted her bottom, got up, and took her leave.

Just a few steps from Liu Dahua's courtyard gate is the old house.

Song Xianglan was pondering something.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dusty figure darting past from the west, moving with lightning speed straight toward Zhou Fang's house.

Granny Zhou.

This old lady rarely comes here, but today she ran faster than a rabbit.

Song Xianglan frowned, having made up her mind.

Zhou Fang and his boys have been helping her level the foundation at her house these past two days.

Anxi Yang lives alone.

She turned and quickly followed.

Granny Zhou has been having a tough time lately.

Zhou Fang discovered that the money orders sent back by his uncle in Luzon had been fraudulently claimed by his biological mother.

This kid is ruthless.

They blocked the postman, declared that from now on, money orders must be signed for in person, and then intercepted the money order for that month and took the money.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents; how could Granny Zhou sit idly by?

While Zhou Fang was away from home.

She sized up An Xiyang, a weak woman with no real power, and took the opportunity to steal all of her son's family's money.

As soon as Song Xianglan reached the door, she heard sharp cursing coming from inside.

"Shameless slut, keeping the door closed in broad daylight, are you cheating on me with someone inside?"

As soon as Granny Zhou entered, she pointed at An Xiyang, who was hanging clothes to dry, and began to berate her, "You worthless woman who makes a living by hanging curtains. With your seductive tricks, you've bewitched my son so badly he doesn't even recognize his own mother!"

An Xiyang was still clutching her wet clothes.

I was stunned by the scolding.

His face flushed red: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Who's your mother? You dare call me 'Mom'?"

Granny Zhou spat on the ground, pushed An Xiyang aside, and barged into the house.

"Give me the money. That brat has to return every single penny he brought back!"

Anxi Yang held onto the door tightly.

Tears welled in her eyes, but she dared not let go: "That's not your money. It was given to us by Zhou Fang's uncle. We need to make a living."

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? I knew it was you, you vixen, who was instigating this behind the scenes." Granny Zhou slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

An Xiyang covered her face and staggered a step, her ears ringing.

"Zhou Fang used to be so obedient. She would give me her money even if she went hungry herself. But ever since she married you, her heart has turned crooked."

The more Granny Zhou cursed, the more excited she became.

She reached out to scratch An Xiyang's face, saying, "You shameless slut, I'll teach you to seduce men."

Anxi Yang is young and easily embarrassed.

When someone insults you while riding on your head, all you can do is cry and protest, "I didn't... I only dated Zhou Fang..."

Song Xianglan leaned against the doorway, not in a hurry to go in.

"That's incredible. In broad daylight, they broke into a house, robbed someone, and assaulted them. Ten or eight years should be enough for that, right? Xiyang, stop crying, go to the police station to report it."

Granny Zhou froze, then turned around abruptly.

Seeing Song Xianglan's ambiguous smile made me feel uneasy.

With a dark expression, he asked, "What are you doing here? This is my family matter, what's it to you?"

"I'm here to collect the rent."

Song Xianglan crossed her arms and glanced at the mess on the floor inside the room.

"And watch the show while you're at it. Hey Granny Zhou, how old are you? Still not separated from your husband?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, other women become vixens after getting married, but you've had so many children, you're just an old vixen."

"You're talking nonsense!" Granny Zhou was so angry that her face trembled.

Looking at Song Xianglan's calm demeanor, An Xiyang suddenly felt a surge of courage.

This old woman is driving her to her death, why is she still putting up with it?

While Granny Zhou and Song Xianglan were locked in a standoff,

Anxi Yang rushed over and used all her strength to push Granny Zhou out the door.

Granny Zhou didn't expect this pushover to dare to make a move. She lost her footing and was pushed so hard that she stumbled and fell right over the threshold.

"Clang!"

Anxi Yang hurriedly closed the door.

The large iron padlock was hung on and locked in place with a "click".

She turned around and threw the key at Song Xianglan: "Aunt Song, please give the key to Zhou Fang for me."

Granny Zhou got up from the ground.

Her hair was covered in dirt, and she pounced on me like a madwoman.

"This is outrageous! How dare you hit your mother-in-law? You're asking for trouble!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family had already followed her mother-in-law over, hiding in front to watch the commotion and hoping to get a share of the money.

Seeing her mother-in-law being taken advantage of, she rolled up her sleeves and charged forward: "So, you're ganging up on an old woman? I'll beat you to death, you little shrew surnamed An!"

Song Xianglan took a step forward.

He stood in front of Zhou's eldest sister-in-law like a wall, stopping her with one hand.

"Aunt Song! This is a matter for our Zhou family. We're all from the same village, so don't make trouble for us." Sister-in-law Zhou tried to push Song Xianglan away, but found that the woman was incredibly strong and she couldn't move her at all.

"It didn't matter before, but it does now."

Song Xianglan sneered, "Zhou Fang and Xiang Dong are sworn brothers, that's like my godson. My godson isn't home, and someone's bullying my goddaughter-in-law, how can I, as her godmother, just stand by and watch?"

Sister-in-law Zhou was taken aback.

Zhou Fang actually became sworn brothers with the Song family?

In that brief moment of distraction, An Xiyang had already been scratched several times by Granny Zhou.

Song Xianglan frowned and shouted at An Xiyang, "What are you standing there for? She's about to poop on your neck."

You're young and strong, how could you not beat an old lady? Pull her hair hard, and use your knees!"

An Xiyang gritted her teeth, and all the grievances in her heart exploded.

She no longer cared about respecting the elderly or caring for the young.

He grabbed Granny Zhou's hair and slammed her to the ground, and the two women instantly rolled into a ball.

Sister-in-law Zhou panicked and wanted to go over and help.

Song Xianglan tightened her grip and pushed Zhou Dasao back several steps.

"If you dare to interfere in that one-on-one fight, I'll show you what it means to take sides. If I were to make a move, you'd be lying on the ground groaning by now."

Sister-in-law Zhou looked at Song Xianglan's fierce eyes.

Feeling uneasy, I dared not move any closer.

Someone informed Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang rushed in, covered in sweat, and saw his wife being beaten on the ground by her own mother, with a lock of her hair pulled out. His eyes instantly turned red.

First, they pulled Zhou's mother away and then helped An Xiyang up.

He then grabbed a half-bucket of composting liquid from under the wall and splashed it at Sister-in-law Zhou, who was trying to sneak up to help.

"Splash!"

"Ah—!" Sister-in-law Zhou was splashed right on the spot. The stench made her eyes roll back and she screamed as she backed away.

Zhou Fang stared intently at Granny Zhou, like an enraged lion.

"Mom! Are you trying to drive me to my death?!"

Granny Zhou was terrified by her son's appearance.

An Xiyang hid behind Zhou Fang, crying uncontrollably.

"You've swallowed all the money your uncle sent back over the years. I've worked like a slave and still have to pay you every month. Now that I'm finally doing a little better, you come and beat my wife?" Zhou Fang's voice was hoarse.

Looking at her son, whom she used to have at her mercy, Granny Zhou felt a little panicked.

Still stubborn:

"You came from my womb, so your money is my money! If I hadn't given you to your uncle back then, would you have gotten that money?"

"Now that you're rich, you disown your own mother and even help outsiders beat up your family?"

She pointed at An Xiyang, about to start yelling again: "It's this troublemaker..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Fang suddenly roared.

He raised the manure scoop and smashed it hard against the courtyard wall, breaking the wooden handle in two.

"You want money, huh? You don't want me to have an easy time, do you?"

Zhou Fang, his eyes bloodshot, turned and reached for the hoe in the corner. "Then let's all give up! I'll smash your house right now! Our whole family will go begging! Let's see who dares to rob us then!"

As he spoke, he picked up his hoe and ran outside.

His reckless ruthlessness completely intimidated Granny Zhou.

"You heartless beast! You've gone mad!" Granny Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly chased after him.

Covered in excrement, Sister-in-law Zhou turned and ran, shouting, "Don't smash the house!"

The courtyard was finally quiet.

Song Xianglan walked over and pulled An Xiyang aside. "Don't just stare. Your mother-in-law calls you a troublemaker, a vixen. Aren't you feeling aggrieved?"

An Xi Yang nodded, tears streaming down her face: "It's so frustrating."

"Don't keep this anger inside. If you don't vent it, over time you'll start to hate Zhou Fang."

You might feel that he brought you all this misfortune and injustice. But you need to see clearly that this man dared to stand against everyone to protect you.
