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

Nie Erhua stood like a wall across the doorway, her outstretched arms completely blocking Lu Xiuyu's view.

Lu Xiuyu wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

Erhua shoved her with her big hand, causing her to stumble.

Song Xianglan didn't rush to take action. She turned around and looked at Lin Fang, whose face was covered in tears, and Liu Chounu, who was panting heavily. "Do you want to let this matter pass by in a muddle, or do you want to resolve it once and for all?"

If you want to continue doing business on this street, throw this dirty water back at us.

Don't try to prove your innocence now. If she throws dirty water on you, you stir up the pool even dirtier and blacker than she did.

Lin Fang was still sobbing.

He was clearly still reeling from that fierce outburst and was a little out of it.

Liu Chounu wiped the sweat and dust off her face, and said through gritted teeth:

"This must be resolved once and for all. Otherwise, Xiaofang will have no way to make a living, and it will also implicate Juhua, who has no face left, and the villagers will gossip about her behind her back."

I was the one who begged Juhua to take Xiaofang in. If I had backed out now, I would have been laughed at in the village for the rest of my life.

That would be shameless and impossible to live without. They say daughters are like water spilled from a bowl—they're no longer meant to be taken away.

She knew in her heart that taking a step back would not lead to a brighter future, but rather to an abyss.

The Wu family is like a leech that keeps taking an inch and then a mile; you can't shake them off without burning them with fire.

After listening to her mother's words, Lin Fang glanced at Tang Juhua, who was standing beside her with a worried expression.

Finally, he nodded and spoke:

"Aunt Song, please help me this time. I don't want to implicate my mother and Sister Juhua."

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Lu Xiuyu screamed at Erhua:

"What are you doing? This is illegal detention. You have the guts to kill me, or you can release me."

Erhua chuckled and wouldn't let go, her iron-like fingers gripping Lu Xiuyu's arm.

Song Xianglan coldly interjected, "She's mentally unstable; there's a hospital certificate proving it. Killing you would be pointless; she wouldn't go to jail. Want to try?"

Lu Xiuyu shrank back, looking at Erhua's simple-minded yet brute-force eyes, and instantly fell silent.

There's really no justice when you encounter a fool committing murder.

"Take her with you, let's go."

At Song Xianglan's command, Liu Chounu and Tang Juhua grabbed Lu Xiuyu by the collar, one on each side, and dragged her out as if she were a prisoner.

Lu Xiuyu tried to stay on the ground and not leave, but the ugly woman pinched her waist hard, making her scream in pain and stand up straight.

Seeing this, Song Xiangmei...

He quickly ran to the door and hung up the sign:

"The business owner has something to attend to and will be closed today."

The diners in the shop had no appetite for food; their eyes lit up as they eagerly handed over their money to Song Xiangmei.

Some were still chewing meat, while others simply followed along with their unfinished rice bowls.

How can you watch only the beginning of such a grand show?

I have to see the finale.

A large group of people surged toward the Wu family's location.

"That's Baojun's sister-in-law, right? What happened? Should we call the police?"

Song Xianglan walked at the front, calling out as she went:

"Neighbors, come and see! Wu Baojun's ex-sister-in-law doesn't want her brother-in-law to remarry, and she's been causing trouble at our door every day."

She turned and shouted into the crowd:

"Whoever is fast enough, go and call that matchmaker Liu to the Wu family."

"I'll go."

A young man who was watching the commotion responded and took off running, faster than a rabbit.

Upon arriving at the matchmaker's house, the young man shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Aunt Liu, something terrible has happened. You didn't find out properly when you acted as matchmaker, but Wu Baojun is having an affair with your sister-in-law."

The woman's younger sister was unhappy that Wu Baojun was remarrying, so she went to the woman's shop and smashed and cursed at her.

The Lin family said if you don't go and resolve this matter, they'll come to your door and beat you so badly you'll even vomit the night before.

Matchmaker Liu was wearing her reading glasses and cutting shoe uppers at home.

Upon hearing this, my hand trembled, and I almost poked my finger with the scissors.

Ignoring her old, cold legs, she threw the shoe uppers on the table and ran out in a panic.

"What's going on? Why am I involved?"

"You'd better hurry. If you're too late, your roof will be blown off."

The matchmaker, Liu, turned pale with fright. She told her granddaughter to lock the door, then grabbed her belt and ran to the Wu family's house, afraid that if she was too late, her old bones would be torn apart.

……

The Wu family lives not far away.

It was time to leave work.

Wu Baojun had just arrived home on his bike and was thinking about going to Lin Fang's shop after dinner to apologize and coax her a bit. He also wanted to have a proper discussion with Lin Fang about how to get closer to Lu Xiuyu.

Before he could get off the bus.

A large, dark mass of people surged over.

"A weasel's offspring—a whole litter of sluts. They'd rather die than commit marriage fraud."

Song Xianglan stood with her hands on her hips at the entrance of the Wu family's house, calling out to the neighbors who were peeking around, "Everyone, come in and have a say, don't be shy, come and judge this matter."

Wu Baojun's extramarital affairs have implicated my niece.

Wu Baojun looked at Lu Xiuyu, who was being held in the middle and looked disheveled.

My mind went blank.

"What...what's going on here?" Wu Baojun pushed the cart forward.

Song Xianglan pointed at his nose and scolded:

"How dare you ask? You went on a blind date to find a partner, but your ex-sister-in-law wasn't happy about it, so she went to my niece's shop and started cursing, smashing things, and causing damage."

They even brought their lunchboxes into the store to disgust us.

Wu Baojun, if you can't get along with your sister-in-law, then don't go out and ruin other people's good girls.

It's all gone by early morning, so don't try to have your cake and eat it too. A little mudfish with a bit of salt water doesn't know it's seafood.

Upon hearing this, the neighbors around...

The murmurs were like boiling water.

"I knew my sister-in-law was coming here too often; so this is what happened."

"Tsk tsk, even animal encyclopedias don't have such a mess of relationships. The Wu family usually seems quite proper, but turns out they're up to something like this behind closed doors?"

"Everyone's promoting new social norms and civility, and they're engaging in forbidden love?"

Song Xianglan was quick-witted.

In just a few words, he revealed everything about how Lu Xiuyu caused trouble at the store, how she accused Lin Fang of being a slut, and how the Wu family cheated people out of food and drink while ordering Lin Fang to do chores.

The precision of the words and the vividness of the descriptions left those around them speechless.

"I'd love to have a wife who'd serve me like a slave, but to have my ex-sister-in-law taking advantage of me before I even step in the door is just too much."

The Qing Dynasty is long gone, and those scandalous affairs involving brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law in the royal family are no longer prevalent.

The Wu family's gate creaked open.

Wu's mother rushed out, and upon seeing the scene, she immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "What are you doing? A bunch of bandits are causing trouble at my doorstep!"

"Xiaofang, put your heart into it, how has your aunt treated you?"

"I think it's your son who's taking a dump on Xiaofang's neck." Song Xianglan's momentum directly overwhelmed Wu's mother. "Your son can't control his pants, and you, as his mother, are you blind?"

"They let that sister-in-law waltz into your house, and even want to push a properly engaged girl into a fire pit."

Wu Baojun was so angry from being scolded that he threw his car to the ground and rushed forward with his fists raised, trying to scare Song Xianglan.

"You old shrew, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

He made this move.

The people around were startled.

Old Zhao, who had been leaning against the corner eating sunflower seeds and gossiping, stood up and slowly said:

"Wu Baojun, the person you're about to hit is the mother of a war hero. Her son went to Beijing to attend a commendation ceremony, where he was received and commended by high-ranking officials. You'd better think about the consequences before you throw that punch."

this sentence.

It's like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil.

Wu Baojun's fist, which was raised in mid-air, froze.

The mother of a war hero?

These days, military families are honored, and the families of combat heroes are even more untouchable.

If that punch landed, the factory's security department would arrest him without the women even lifting a finger.

Wu's mother was also dumbfounded.

His mouth was agape and he couldn't close it for a long time; half of the energy he had just felt dissipated instantly.

Song Xianglan glanced at Old Zhao, cursing inwardly: "You old bastard, what are you revealing? I was just getting into the swing of things, I hadn't even had my fill of yelling, and you've already brought out your backing. It's not too late to pull strings if you can't beat them in a fight or a verbal battle."

However, now that their identities have been revealed...

Song Xianglan became even more unforgiving.

She straightened her collar and looked at the Wu family mother and son with disdain.

Wu's mother's eyes darted around, and she quickly changed her expression.

He cried out:

"Auntie, you can't just talk nonsense and bully people because your son did a good job. Everyone can see how good we are to Xiaofang. There must be some misunderstanding. Can't we talk it out as a family behind closed doors?"

She tried to take Lin Fang's hand.

"Xiaofang, tell me something. Does your aunt treat you like her own daughter?"

Lin Fang looked at the outstretched hand and recalled how warm it had been for her these past few days.

Then I remembered Song Xianglan saying that she was only good at talking.

He always said he was nice to her, but never actually did anything to her, and then he let go of her hand.

Song Xianglan stood in front of Lin Fang and spat on the ground.

"Bullshit! You're all talk and no action, all you've got is a big mouth and a shoved shit peg."

"Your goodness is to kick widows' doors at night and dig up the graves of childless children by day."

Lacking virtue in the Five Elements, relying on deception in the Eight Characters (of birth) analysis.

He made his unmarried daughter-in-law do chores and treated my niece like a free maid. He watched his sister-in-law bully her without saying a word, hoping to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

"A despicable, shameless, and beastly family dares to talk to me about misunderstandings?"

Song Xianglan's words were delivered with dramatic intonation.

The surrounding neighbors were stunned, and some even applauded and cheered.

He looked at her with adoration in his eyes.

That ability to curse without repeating himself—I wonder where he studied it or if he's just naturally gifted. I really want to learn from him and then shine in the factory, sweeping away a whole bunch of people.

My darlings, Happy New Year! May the new year bring you inner peace and clear direction. May you find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, and discover wisdom in the world! May you gain both blessings and wisdom! May good fortune come your way immediately!
