"Tang Dafei beat Dad up so badly, almost killing him. It's only right that he pays for Dad's medical expenses. You don't agree to report it to the authorities or make his family pay, so why didn't you pay for Dad's medical expenses yourself in the first place?"

Song Yinhua left Qiao Guilan speechless with her questions.

“Yinhua, don’t be so aggressive every time you talk to your mother. It’s because you’re so clueless about social etiquette that Qiuxue is angry with our family and has accepted the Tang family.”

Thinking of Qiu Xue, Qiao Guilan felt a pang of heartache for all the money and effort she had put into Song Qiu Xue.

“Your uncle and aunt are too cruel. They stole my daughter and drowned her in a chamber pot. They lied to me for eighteen years!” Qiao Guilan wiped away her tears. “Your father was beaten so badly by Dafei and Hanwen. He’s only just recovered. Today is Hanwen’s thirtieth birthday, and he immediately went over to contribute money and attend the banquet.”

"Did Dad go to Uncle's house?"

“Your dad used to side with his older brother’s family, and now that he’s had a brain injury, he’s even more biased towards his older brother’s family, and he goes there all the time.”

Qiao Guilan also harbored a lot of resentment towards Song Erzhuang.

Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers went off.

Hearing the firecrackers, Qiao Guilan said, "It must have been set off by your uncle's family. Hanwen has now opened a factory and become a big boss. Everyone in the village is trying to curry favor with his family. He turned thirty, and many people in the village went to the banquet. I heard that even the village chief went to eat at the banquet."

Qiao Guilan was oppressed by her sister-in-law for half her life. She didn't understand why her sister-in-law, who was so wicked, was still so lucky.

Just then, an anxious voice called out from outside, "Erzhuang's wife?"

Is Guilan home?

Qiao Guilan hurried out and saw that it was a villager from the same village. "I'm home, what's wrong?"

"Something terrible has happened! Just now, when they set off firecrackers, your Erzhuang suddenly fell down. Hurry up and go to Hanwen's house to help him back."

Song Yinhua gently placed the sleeping baby on the bed and went to her uncle's house with her biological mother, Qiao Guilan.

On Song Hanwen's 30th birthday, the guests enjoyed eating and drinking.

Song Erzhuang was startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers and lost his balance, falling down.

Since his brain injury, he has become slow in his movements, and there is no sign that his older brother's family dislikes him.

They didn't want him to come at all.

When Qiao Guilan and Song Yinhua arrived, the relatives and friends who were eating and drinking saw them, and several women sitting around Zhou Qiaoyun started whispering and gossiping.

"This is Yin Hua?"

"She's the one who harmed Qiu Xue?"

"Qiaoyun, Yinhua is here."

"Youliang, Qiaoyun, Yinhua is here. She harmed your daughter and sent Dafei to prison. Aren't you going to settle the score with her?"

When Song Yinhua heard that someone wanted to settle scores with her, she looked up and those relatives who had been inciting Tang Youliang and his wife to settle scores with Song Yinhua immediately fell silent.

Zhou Qiaoyun's eyes were filled with tears. Tang Youliang patted her back comfortingly and said, "We forgive her."

Song Yinhua asked, "Are you talking about me?"

The relatives who were eating at the banquet remained silent.

Tang Youliang and his wife were filled with grief; their own daughter and son had been harmed by Song Yinhua.

Song Xuewen, who was at the same table, asked angrily, "Why did you frame Qiu Xue and Da Fei? Just because Qiu Xue got into a university in the provincial capital, you plotted against her and hired a bunch of thugs to bully her? Da Fei stood up for Qiu Xue, so you framed Da Fei and put him in jail. You are such a narrow-minded and treacherous person!"

Song Yinhua looked at Song Xuewen. She had met Song Xuewen when she came to her parents' home this morning.

At that time, Song Xuewen took the initiative to call her and greeted her politely.

He was contaminated in just a few hours.

"Who told you that I hired a bunch of thugs to bully Qiu Xue?" Song Yinhua asked. "Did your mother tell you?"

Tang Suxiang quickly pretended to scold her son, "Xuewen, stop talking. It's your older brother's birthday today. Don't say anything unpleasant."

"Mom, how badly have they bullied you and my brother? Uncle was accidentally hit by a car, but why did she report it to the authorities that Dafei and my brother were the ones who hit him on their motorcycles?"

Song Xuewen had been studying in another city and was unaware of his family's situation.

He believes whatever his family tells him.

Song Yinhua chuckled. "Xuewen, you should ask your grandfather, your parents, and your brother and sister-in-law right now who sent Dafei to find those thugs who bullied Qiuxue?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean Dafei found them?" Song Xuewen asked angrily. "Song Yinhua, you have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it, you coward!"

Fearing that Song Yinhua would say something more, Old Man Tang immediately ordered Tang Suxiang to send her away.

"Xuewen, don't bother with their family. They're all unreasonable. Suxiang, hurry up and kick them out. It's Hanwen's birthday today, don't stoop to their level."

Song Erzhuang was furious, but when he tried to retort to Old Man Tang, he couldn't remember what he wanted to say.

"Xuewen, you're right to scold me! You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, and you even turn around and blame others. You're such a coward!" Song Yinhua looked at Old Man Tang and Tang Suxiang.

"What do you mean?" Song Xuewen realized she was being sarcastic. "Who's trying to shift the blame?"

Song Dazhuang spoke up at this moment, "Xuewen, sit down! It's your older brother's birthday today, why are you talking so much!"

When he looked at Song Yinhua, there was some displeasure in his eyes, but he didn't show it too obviously.

"Yinhua, you and your mother should help your father back home. He's not in good health, so he should rest at home."

Tang Suxiang interjected half-jokingly, "It's my son Hanwen's birthday, so just send your gift money. His second uncle isn't feeling well, so he doesn't need to come. We're all generous people, we won't hold it against him."

“Dafei and Hanwen almost beat my dad into a vegetable, how could my dad not come to see the murderer’s birthday!” Song Yinhua didn’t hold back either.

Song Xuewen jumped up and pointed at Song Yinhua's face: "Say it again! Second Uncle was the one who unreasonably blocked my brother's motorcycle, which is why he was accidentally hit by my brother's motorcycle. It's his own fault!"

Many of the guests at the banquet fell silent, while others acted as peacemakers, urging Song Xuewen to calm down and Qiao Guilan to get her eldest daughter away as soon as possible.

Many of them knew the inside story.

"If you have the guts, don't leave!" Song Xuewen was furious and wanted to take this opportunity to seek justice for his family. "You caused Qiuxue to have a massive hemorrhage and can no longer have children, you caused Dafei to go to jail, and you even went against my mother. As long as you admit your mistakes and apologize to my seventh uncle and my mother today, we will let it go because we are relatives."

"Song Xuewen, didn't your brother tell you that Qiu Xue's massive bleeding was caused by him hiring an anesthesiologist to impersonate a doctor from the county to perform an abortion on her?"

Song Xuewen blurted out, "Impossible!"

“Your seventh aunt asked Dafei to come to Songzhuang Village to inform my parents. My dad felt sorry for Qiuxue and was even angrier that she didn’t come home to tell her parents about such a big thing and instead went to her great-uncle’s house?”

Song Xuewen's expression changed, but he stubbornly said, "You're talking nonsense, that's not how it is."

Song Yinhua continued, "Your maternal grandfather refused to tell my parents where Qiuxue was, and made my parents live in his empty pigsty."

Song Xuewen looked at his maternal grandfather in shock.

When he was a child, his second uncle treated his siblings very well, especially him and his eldest brother, who were the two male members of the Song family.

Hearing with his own ears that his maternal grandfather made his second uncle live in a pigsty made him almost lose his composure.
