After forty years of marriage, she raised several stepchildren, put them through school, bought them houses for marriage, and even helped raise their grandchildren. She served her aging and ill hus...

Chapter 197 Petty and calculating

"You...you...you're talking nonsense!" Old Tang was furious. "My Yunyun is a kind child. I had her fortune told as soon as she was born. The fortune teller said that Yunyun is destined for wealth and honor because she is kind and virtuous! The fortune teller said that you are the shameless woman who seduce men everywhere!"

Song Yinhua took out a written agreement from her pocket. "When Erniu, Hanwen, and Xuewen came to my house to make trouble, they made a written agreement with me, saying that as long as I proved my innocence, they would kneel down and apologize to me, bark like dogs, and eat excrement. This is their signature and red handprint."

The villagers who had come to watch the spectacle craned their necks to look at the document in Song Yinhua's hand, and it was indeed as Song Yinhua had said.

Old Tang was so anxious that he tried to snatch the document, but Song Yinhua dodged him.

“Uncle, when I was a child, you and my aunt went around Songzhuang Village slandering me, saying that I was a jinx who brought death to my grandparents. But anyone who knew my grandparents knows that they died after Erniu was born. Even if my grandparents were really cursed to death, it should have been Erniu who caused it. You have been smearing me since then, and you even hired swindlers to come to Songzhuang Village under the guise of fortune telling to ruin me, saying that I was dishonest and destined to be a concubine. I don’t know what I have done to offend you that you would frame me like this?”

"I never said that, don't slander me!" Old Tang firmly denied that he had done it.

"Grand Uncle, do you dare to swear a solemn oath with your life?"

Old Tang was so angry he could hardly breathe. "Look at her, everyone! She's cursing me to die! This ill-mannered thing... huff... huff..."

"Grand Uncle, so you're admitting you've been framing me all along?!"

"You...you caused Yunyun to be beaten, you damned thing, how dare you talk to your elder like that, I'll beat you to death!" Old Man Tang was so angry that he cursed at Song Yinhua and raised his cane to strike her.

Some villagers who were watching the commotion advised Old Man Tang to stop cursing and hitting and to go back home quickly.

They have no right to complain, yet they still come here to cause trouble.

After watching the commotion for a while, San Hongyan immediately went to the convenience store to call her older brother, Song Dazhuang, and told him to come over and take her father-in-law back.

Song Dazhuang said, "I can't control it," and hung up the phone.

Old Tang, having failed to resolve the matter with Song Yinhua, went to Songzhuang Village to cause trouble for Song Erzhuang, berating him for failing to properly raise the girl and causing his favorite little lucky star to be beaten.

As for why his favorite little lucky star was beaten, Old Man Tang never mentioned it.

Qiao Guilan smiled apologetically and said, "Didn't Yunyun get beaten up by Erniu and Hanwen because she became Erniu's man's mistress? This has nothing to do with my Yinhua."

Old Tang flew into a rage, "What right does a woman have to interrupt when a man is speaking? Er Zhuang, beat her up, beat her into obedience, and see if she dares to interrupt again."

Seeing her uncle's outburst, Qiao Guilan dared not utter a word.

Song Erzhuang told Qiao Guilan to go aside.

"Erzhuang, you coward! You beat your wife when she doesn't listen to you!" Old Man Tang said viciously. "Yinhua is spoiled rotten by you all. She's just jealous of my Yunyun and deliberately caused her to be beaten. She killed her own husband, so she came to ruin Erniu and her husband. This kind of girl should be beaten to death!"

Song Erzhuang echoed his anger, shouting, "I'll go beat up Yinhua later! This is outrageous!" as he helped his old uncle out of the courtyard.

A few minutes later, he returned to the courtyard and told Qiao Guilan to quickly bring her grandson into the house.

"Where is your great-uncle?" Qiao Guilan asked.

"She's next door arguing with Old Lady Zhou about Yinhua."

"Your relative is bullying Yinhua like this, and you're still being so polite to him!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Song Erzhuang was also full of complaints about his uncle. Wasn't the old man the reason why his family and his elder brother's family had fallen out like this? "He's so old, and he just had a stroke. What if I say something that makes him angry and he dies in my yard? Won't his son and daughter come to my house and make a scene? I'll have to pay him compensation!"

-

Two weeks later.

Song Xuewen's 30th birthday banquet was held at his hometown in Songzhuang Village, and relatives and friends came to eat.

Neither Tang Su'e nor her daughter Wang Yunyun came; they had completely broken off relations with Tang Suxiang and her daughter Song Erniu.

Wang Yunyun is pregnant now and is just waiting for Zhao Danian to divorce his wife and marry her.

Zhao Danian wanted to divorce Song Erniu for Wang Yunyun's sake, but Song Erniu refused to divorce him, and her mother-in-law also disagreed with their divorce.

Things are at a standstill now.

Because of this, Tang Suxiang and Tang Su'e got into a physical fight, which turned into a very ugly situation.

At Song Xuewen's birthday banquet, only Zhou Qiaoyun from the Tang family attended; the others did not come.

Old Man Tang secretly pressured Tang Suxiang to persuade Song Erniu to divorce her husband and make room for Wang Yunyun, which broke Tang Suxiang's heart.

When the relatives and friends who came to the banquet saw that only Zhou Qiaoyun from Tang Suxiang's family had come, and no one else had come, some of them started gossiping about Wang Yunyun being pregnant with Song Erniu's husband's child.

Many of Song Dazhuang's relatives came.

Song Erzhuang contributed the most money.

He asked Song Baogen and his wife to contribute money to the banquet as well, so that his son and nephew could continue their relationship after his death.

Song Baogen ignored Song Erzhuang's advice and refused to associate with his uncle's children.

A group of relatives and friends were eating and drinking when Song Yinhua arrived halfway through the banquet.

She walked straight to the table where Song Erniu, Song Hanwen, and Song Xuewen were sitting, and said, "You promised to kneel down and apologize to me, how could you forget?"

Song Erniu turned her face away, pretending not to see her, and chatted with her sister-in-law Ding Xiaofen next to her. As if she had suddenly expected something happy, she covered her mouth and laughed a few times, completely ignoring Song Yinhua.

Song Hanwen and Song Xuewen continued eating, ignoring her.

Song Erzhuang then got up and came over. "Yinhua, what are you doing? You were coming to Xuewen's birthday banquet, why didn't you come earlier? Did you give him your gift money?"

Song Yinhua said loudly, "Dad, I didn't come here for the banquet. Erniu said I seduced her man and came to my house to make trouble late at night. She, Hanwen, and Xuewen promised that as long as I could prove my innocence, they would kneel down and apologize and eat excrement. There is a written agreement here, all signed and fingerprinted."

Almost all the guests at the banquet were relatives, who knew of Song Yinhua's current plight.

The wonton shop was shut down, the orchard was burned down, and the man died. Her reputation was ruined by her great-uncle and aunt, and no one dared to risk their life to marry her.

A snobbish relative berated Song Yinhua, saying, "Can't you see there's a banquet going on here? We can talk about this after the banquet!"

Song Yinhua ignored her snobbish relatives, opened the lunchbox and placed it in front of Song Erniu, Song Xuewen, and Song Hanwen and his wife. Inside was a pile of excrement, which disgusted the group so much that they immediately stood up.

"Yourse words from that night, so kneel down now, apologize, bark like dogs, and then share the shit in this lunchbox."

"Yinhua, why are you so petty?" Song Erniu mocked angrily. "You hold grudges too much!"

Tang Suxiang came over and advised, "Yinhua, this is all Yunyun's fault. She wore your old clothes, which is why Erniu misunderstood. Let's just let it go. Sit down and join us for the meal."

"If I can't prove my innocence, will they let me go?" Song Yinhua asked.

Song Hanwen said irritably, "Are you never going to stop? It's all in the past, why are you so petty?"
