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

The ugly woman stepped across the threshold with her chin held high.

Song Xianglan and Liu Dahua followed behind, their faces ashen.

They had originally planned to visit Wang Jianguo, but they overheard the whole drama as soon as they arrived at the door.

Liu Chounu pointed at Cai Xiaomei's nose and cursed: "Cai Xiaomei, your name has the character 'beauty' in it, do you really think you're a fairy?"

You only married Wang Jianguo's eldest son because you thought he was a brigade leader.

Look at your face, your eyes are so small they're barely the size of mung beans.

His skin was pitted and uneven, like a stonefish in the sea with flowers blooming.

Her lips are thicker than my old sow's.

Your nose looks like two holes poked into a piece of dough. Where does your beauty come from? Even the heavens can't stand the sight of you when you speak.

Song Xianglan: "Ugly woman, you can insult her all you want, but stop bashing the stonefish. At least a stonefish can be used to make soup, but she's much uglier than a stonefish; she'd be poisonous even to put in the pot."

The Wang family members' expressions changed.

Song Xianglan was so angry that she was trembling, so she pulled her old friend behind her.

His gaze swept over these rotten, filthy things like a knife.

"Even my own descendants haven't dared to covet my family fortune, but you bunch of bastards from the Wang family are already making plans for me."

Are you all illegitimate children born from Yang Dashan and Zhang Yujuan's secret affair? Yang Jianshe's illegitimate children don't even get a chance, yet you're all so shrewd. And you each want 200,000?

"Dig out your black hearts, black lungs, and black kidneys, weigh them, and sell them to feed stray dogs. Let's see if that's enough for a single hair of two hundred thousand."

Cai Xiaomei, forcing herself to speak, retorted:

"You're so rich, you can just casually leak a little..."

"Shut your stinking mouth." Liu Dahua took off her coarse cloth shoes and threw them at Cai Xiaomei's face.

"If you dare to fart again, I'll tear your mouth apart today."

Boss Wang felt he was in an awkward position.

"This is a family matter for the Wang family; it's none of your business!"

"When you were scheming to take my money, why didn't you say I was an outsider? Anyone who dares to push Chunhua again, I'll get a few men to put sacks over your heads in the middle of the night. Don't think that just because I have money I can't beat people up."

None of the Wang family members dared to offend Song Xianglan.

He slunk away.

Liu Chunhua went to the kitchen to cook salted rice.

Tears streamed down my face as I cooked.

The three elderly women placed the things they had brought on the table.

Liu Dahua helped tidy up the main room.

The meal is ready.

Lifting the pot lid, Liu Chounu served herself a bowl of salty rice.

Song Xianglan stuffed the chopsticks into Liu Chunhua's hand, "Quickly take it in for him, eat it while it's hot."

Several people pushed open the wooden door to the inner room.

Wang Jianguo's complexion became a little rosier.

Seeing Liu Chunhua come in with a bowl, Wang Jianguo swallowed hard.

"It smells good," Wang Jianguo mumbled.

Liu Chunhua didn't say anything, but fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Wang Jianguo chewed very quickly, and two grains of rice with lard spilled from the corner of his mouth, which he then stuffed into his mouth.

After eating half a bowl, he leaned his head against the bed railing.

"Chunhua, the salted rice is delicious."

"What will you do now?"

"Don't bring up the past, I'm not listening."

Wang Jianguo gave a wry smile.

"Old Song," Wang Jianguo took two quick breaths, "I'm begging you today."

Song Xianglan looked down at him.

"Spit it out if you have something to say."

"Chunhua has a soft heart. If I don't protect her, those three unfilial sons will bully her to death." Wang Jianguo coughed. "If... if one day she really can't make ends meet, give her something to eat. I... I'm sorry for her."

Song Xianglan's face turned cold.

"Don't try to figure this out," Song Xianglan interrupted him. "She's your own wife, you can manage her yourself."

Wang Jianguo smiled.

He knew that Song Xianglan had agreed to his request.

"I'm tired. I want to take a nap."

The four men left the room in silence.

Liu Chunhua placed the bowl on the large stone slab by the well, lost in thought.

The ugly woman leaned close to her ear and said, "Chunhua, listen to my advice. Your old man doesn't have many days left."

Liu Chunhua: "How...how could he have tripped and fallen like that out of nowhere?"

"The way he spoke so clearly just now was a classic case of a final burst of energy before death."

Liu Chunhua squatted on the well platform, head down, without saying a word.

When Song Xianglan and the other two returned.

The sky turned the western horizon a deep red.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Xiaoyan bending over with a broom, sweeping the scattered leaves from the corner of the yard into a dustpan.

"Great-grandmother."

The little boy with a shaved head rushed over from the side.

"Where did you go?" Song Xianglan closed the courtyard gate.

"I'll find some eggs for your family." Xiao Yan's son, Xiao Qiangqiang, sniffed, turned around and pulled out two still-warm eggs laid by a speckled hen from under the henhouse, then trotted up the steps.

"Eat fruit."

Song Xianglan entered the house and brought out longan that had just been rinsed in well water.

Xiao Qiangqiang stuffed his mouth full of fruit pulp and spat out two large pieces of hard skin on the ground.

"Great-Grandma. My grandma and mom almost got into a fight." Xiao Qiangqiang grinned, his little mouth missing two teeth, and shouted, "Grandma said at home that Dad has no conscience. After work, he only knows to run to Niejiazhuang and forgets about our family."

Song Xianglan picked up a cold longan and slightly raised her eyelids.

"What caused their argument?"

Xiao Qiangqiang waved his shiny, oily little black hands, "Grandma said Aunt Yuena is a shameless woman who does wicked things outside. Mom got so angry that she smashed the bowl and argued with Grandma. She then took Aunt Yuena to live in the shop and stopped cooking for Grandma."

"Great-grandmother, what is a mistress? Only those who do bad things are mistresses, right?"

"Shut your mouth tight." Song Xianglan pointed at his little black forehead with her finger. "That's your aunt. Don't bring home the gossip of those old women from outside. If you say that word anywhere else, I'll beat your mouth to a pulp with the sole of my shoe every time I see you."

Xiao Qiangqiang quickly shut up.

Just then, some children walked by noisily outside.

Xiao Qiangqiang slipped out of the gate and went to play wildly with the children.

"Don't go over to the pond!" Song Xianglan shouted at the retreating figure.

Xiao Yan leaned the large broom against the east wall.

I came over and peeled a longan to eat.

"Iced longan is so good."

Song Xianglan handed over a clean towel, "Did you really have a falling out with Old Madam Zhao?"

Xiao Yan took the towel and wiped her face haphazardly.

Tears fell like raindrops from a broken string, pattering down under my clothes.

"The two families live like enemies." Xiao Yan gritted her teeth. "When Zhao Feng comes home, he always tells me to be more tolerant, saying that I don't know my place and should give way to my elders. This time, when it came to Sister Yue Na... I couldn't hold back and almost turned the roof upside down."

A few years ago, Zhao Guodong introduced Xiaoyan to his nephew Zhao Feng.

The couple had a son after their marriage.

Zhao Feng works at the factory.

Xiao Yan opened a clothing store in the village, and business was very good. Zhao Feng's mother came to help them take care of their children.

"Is it the Yue Na you mentioned before? Hasn't she been looking for you all this time?" Song Xianglan's tone became serious.

She remembered that Xiao Yan had said Tang Yuena was a very good girl.

Xiao Yan: "Back then, she came to find me. But she was tricked and abducted by human traffickers into getting on a black cab to Guangzhou."

They were forced to work in the underground factory for six whole months without pay, only being released after enough money had been collected to cover the headcount.

Later, she found a job at a clothing factory. A relative of the boss introduced her to a potential partner. He was said to be eight or nine years older than her and treat her well, and the two even held a banquet.

Who knew he had a wife who had given birth to several daughters and was now unable to conceive again? He deliberately used the unsuspecting, honest girl from our village to have a son.
