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

Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at the crowd outside the door, her breath caught in her chest, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Yu Xiujuan huddled behind her mother, her eyes fixed on Song Tingting.

That mint green dress was quite eye-catching.

She looked down at her brand-new clothes, which were far inferior to Song Tingting's, and gritted her teeth.

If her mother hadn't insisted that girls shouldn't study and taken her to her older brother Yu Pengfei's place to enjoy a life of luxury, saying she wanted to marry an official, would she be living such a miserable life now?

The official didn't get what he wanted and was sent back.

In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly marry that useless Fang Pingming.

The identity of being a city dweller sounded pleasing to the ear and gave her a great deal of vanity.

But now, this facade is nothing compared to Song Tingting's Peking University title.

The laughter of the surrounding neighbors kept drilling into my ears.

Yu Xiujuan couldn't take it anymore.

She turned abruptly and rushed into the house, rummaged through her bag, grabbed a few pieces of clothing, and stuffed them haphazardly inside.

Carrying her bag, she strode out of the main room, saying, "Fine, I'll leave. Since my sisters-in-law can't tolerate me, I'll just never come back."

When Old Lady Yu saw her daughter about to leave, her heart ached so much that she started to ache.

She rushed forward and grabbed Yu Xiujuan's wrist tightly, tears and snot instantly streaming down her face. "This is the home you grew up in. You came back and got beaten up by those two bitches. How can I live with myself after you leave?"

She glared at Yu Lao Er and Yu Lao San.

Her voice reached its limit, "You two are worse than animals. Back then, Xiujuan brought back bags and bags of candy and pastries; it would have been better to feed them to the dogs than to feed you two heartless creatures."

What sins have I committed to deserve such a miserable life after marrying into the Yu family?

I haven't had a single good day. Now that I'm old, even my precious daughter, whom I cherished, is beaten by the woman my son married. And I, as her mother-in-law, am also beaten along with her.

The more she cursed, the louder her voice became, with spittle flying everywhere.

She cursed everyone from Yu Lao Er's father-in-law to Yu Lao San's mother-in-law, and even the big yellow dog lying in the neighbor's yard couldn't escape her tongue.

Chen Zui stood outside the courtyard wall, watching without blinking.

He turned and leaned close to Song Xianglan: "Godmother, are the insults from your village this powerful? You have such a repertoire of insults, each one unique!"

Chunxia clicked her tongue beside her and chimed in:

"When it comes to cursing, Aunt Song is the best. Granny Yu is shrewish, but she can't curse as effectively as Aunt Song."

Looking at Old Lady Yu's demeanor, Song Xianglan said, "Her trick works. Just watch, after she's finished scolding everyone, her two big sons will obediently side with her."

Sure enough, the words had barely left his mouth when...

Yu Lao Er and Yu Lao San hung their heads.

He walked quickly to Old Lady Yu, bending down very low.

Yu Laosan reached out to help his mother up, "Mom, please don't do this. We sons are so ashamed. Don't scare us."

Old Mrs. Yu flung his hand away, saying, "If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. The fact that you're so scared shows that you're guilty, disobedient, and worse than pigs and dogs."

Tang Xiuhe felt a chill run down her spine when she saw her husband's subservient manner.

"Yu Pengzhi," she called out, her voice trembling and her tone completely off.

Yu Laosan, disgusted by Tang Xiuhe's lack of manners, shouted, "Shut up! What's it to you? What's wrong with my sister eating some meat? You, as her sister-in-law, have no tolerance at all. If you're jealous, go back to your parents' house and ask your mother for some pheasant."

Tang Xiuhe was so angry that she trembled all over.

She had been enduring all this for the sake of her child, but this time she wasn't going to put up with it anymore.

She scooped up her son and rushed toward the gate. "If Yu Xiujuan stays here today, I'll take the child and drown myself in the river right now."

You're so devoted to your little sister, why don't you just go and live with her? What's the point of getting a wife?

Hearing the commotion, Sister-in-law Yu grabbed Old Man Yu's arm.

"Yu Pengqiao, I'm telling you this now. You can only choose one: your child or your sister."

"Since things have already come to this, we might as well split up and live separately."

She had long since given up on being together.

The family didn't separate before because the eldest brother, Yu Pengfei, was successful in the army.

Later, Yu Pengfei transferred to civilian work and his salary was high. Then, he lost his job and his salary decreased. The little money Yu Pengfei gave to his mother-in-law, they never saw a penny of it.

Their small family still had to hand over money every month, which eventually filled the huge hole that Yu Xiujuan had in her pocket.

Upon hearing the words "separate family," Tang Xiuhe stopped in her tracks. "We must separate the family."

Sister-in-law Yu, who had been hiding in the back without saying a word, weighed the benefits of dividing the family property and, thinking that the men's wages would all belong to her, spoke with a resolute tone.

"I also agree to separate the family."

The three daughters-in-law stood in a row, all demanding a division of the family property.

Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her old face was thrown to the ground and stomped on.

"I'm not dead yet. We, your parents, are still alive, and you're already thinking about dividing the family property. Xiujuan has only been living here for a few days, and you can't even tolerate her anymore."

Sister-in-law Yu did not back down and stared directly at Old Lady Yu.

"You two have spoiled Xiujuan rotten. Who knows what kind of mess she'll make in the future. If we don't separate the family, we'll be stuck cleaning up endless messes and filling in all the holes. It's better to separate now, so each family can live their own lives behind closed doors."

Second Sister-in-law Yu immediately followed up with, "If we don't separate, we'll get a divorce."

Old Mrs. Yu pointed at Song Xianglan and said, "You've corrupted the village's atmosphere. So many wives used to be beaten and scolded, even daring to jump into the river or drink pesticide, but they didn't dare mention divorce."

Ever since you started this, these women have all gotten too big for their britches. They won't drink pesticide or jump into rivers, they just insist on getting divorced.

She turned and yelled at her three daughters-in-law:

"What kind of good family do you think you can marry into after a divorce?"

Go and see how many times Qiao Zhaodi ran back to the Wang family after divorcing Wang Zhihe, but Wang Zhihe always stayed far away from her.

Now she's been sold by her parents to a one-eyed man; this is the consequence of divorce.

Song Xianglan is a rotten apple, corrupting you bunch of dead rats.

Song Xianglan looked at the sky speechlessly. Was she wrong to get a divorce?

"You old hag, your latrine is so foul it's practically oozing out your intestines." Song Xianglan wasn't going to take the blame. "You drink enemas like they're water, and you just keep spewing out filth. I'm just standing here watching the show, and which old bastard crawled out of the grave and threw a pot at me."

"If you treated everyone equally, would your three daughters-in-law have been so stubborn and unwilling to compromise, with one side in a horizontal line and the other in a vertical line?"

Blaming the Earth's gravity for not being able to poop. Like a little mudfish with a bit of salt water, thinking it's seafood. Even the chefs at state-run restaurants aren't as good at shifting blame as you.

The surrounding villagers burst into laughter.

Song Xianglan looked at Yu Xiujuan, who was carrying a bag, her tone full of disdain:

"You always like to compare me to Tingting. You think you're so great just because you can stick a feather in your hair. Even the latrine stirrer would call you a grandmaster."

"You come back from the place where you grew up and act like a liar. Your sister-in-law took one less scallion when she went back, and you spent half the day criticizing her for throwing water out the door and then went back to your parents' house to freeload. You've said everything you could think of. You can't seem to get away with anything, and you can't seem to get rid of any of the blame."

Yu Xiujuan was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head.

She picked up her bag and walked out, crying and wailing at Old Lady Yu, "Mom, give me some money for the trip back. My sisters-in-law look down on me, even the neighbors don't like me. I can't stay here any longer."

Liu Chou-nv quickly parted the crowd to make a path and asked in a loud voice:

"Oh dear, Xiujuan. Your son-in-law didn't even show his face or come to pick you up. You're going back all alone? Are you getting a divorce?"

Upon hearing the word "divorce," Yu Xiujuan's face turned pale instantly.

She had absolutely no confidence.

If Fang Pingming really divorces her, she won't even have a place to live.

Old Mrs. Yu felt heartbroken seeing her daughter's frightened expression.

She quickly pulled a crumpled roll of small bills from her pocket, shoved it into Yu Xiujuan's hand, and turned to glare at Yu Laosan: "Laosan, hurry up and take your sister home."

Yu Laosan took Xiujuan's bag and said, "Xiujuan, I'll ride my bike and take you back."

Tang Xiuhe watched Yu Laosan's retreating figure, which didn't turn back, and her heart turned completely cold.

She gritted her teeth and said, word by word:

"We're splitting up. I won't give up until we split up this time."

Yu Ersao and Yu Dasao exchanged a glance, then stood firmly beside Tang Xiuhe.

Seeing this scene, Old Lady Yu was so angry that she saw stars.

The old man, however, stayed in his room like a dead man and refused to come out, leaving her alone to face her daughter-in-law who was destined to be struck by lightning that day.
