What are you doing?

When everyone is bored out of their minds and watches you frame someone, then just lets you walk away without a care in the world?

"Er Ya's mother, what do you say?"

The villagers are only responsible for blocking people; how they do it is up to Gu An'an.

To put it bluntly, we all live in the same village and see each other all the time, so there's no need to go to extremes.

Gu An'an stopped crying and looked at Jiang Ersao, who was standing there looking flustered, but she didn't speak immediately.

This made Jiang Ersao panic. "Don't do anything reckless, or Mother will definitely not let you off the hook."

Yes, the old lady has never liked Gu An'an, and Gu An'an is terrified of her.

The person who grasped at the straw had no idea that Gu An'an was no longer the same person she used to be. "Second sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to still use the old lady to pressure me. You really don't consider us, the orphan and widow, as family when you bully us like this."

Although Gu An'an had acted rudely in the past few years, most of the villagers were on good terms with Jiang Laosan, and they all stared at Jiang Ersao when they heard this.

“The third brother has been good to you. Even for the sake of the child, you shouldn’t have done this.”

"Of course! Heaven is watching what people do. Little Fei's mother, how can you sleep at night doing this?"

The villagers all pointed fingers, which made Jiang Ersao even more flustered. "What do you mean? I'm just so angry. Over the years, she has been beating and scolding the children. She's a vicious woman!"

Jiang Ersao was always adept at changing the subject.

Seeing that the villagers were about to be led astray by her again, Aunt Li quickly spoke up, "Well, she knows she's repented now. An'an swore before that if she ever mistreats the child again, she'll be struck by lightning. Xiao Fei's mother, why don't you make a solemn oath too?"

To swear a solemn oath?

How is that possible?

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Old Mrs. Jiang appeared and slapped Jiang's second sister-in-law across the face. "You scoundrel, how old are you and you still do such scoundrel things? Aren't you afraid of setting a bad example for the children?"

Her slap came suddenly and stunned Jiang Ersao.

Gu An'an, however, felt it wasn't a good idea.

Sure enough, Old Lady Jiang grabbed the person and was about to leave, saying, "Go home and kneel before my ancestors' tablets."

Whether or not to kneel is entirely up to Old Lady Jiang.

Does that mean someone else can go to Grandma Jiang's house to supervise her?

Sure enough, the old lady's heart was biased.

Gu An'an smiled coldly to herself, "Second sister-in-law is only doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if she punished you by making you kneel in the village ancestral hall all night, that would be terrible."

She had no intention of letting Jiang Ersao off the hook so easily.

Now that the villagers have finally sided with her, she should make the best use of their talents.

The phrase "kneel in the ancestral hall" made Aunt Li realize what was happening, and she immediately said, "Sister-in-law, what Xiaofei's mother did today was wrong. She should go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to apologize to the ancestors."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Jiang turned around abruptly and glared at Aunt Li, as if to say, "Why are you meddling in my family's affairs?"

Aunt Li, however, was not afraid at all. Her son worked as a clerk in the county town, and no one in the village dared to offend her.

“Aunt Li is right. This is clearly not treating Er Ya’s mother as a member of the Jiang family. She should be made to kneel in the ancestral hall.”

"Exactly, otherwise if everyone learns this, what will happen in the future?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was caught in a dilemma. Looking at her panicked second daughter-in-law, her expression also turned sour. "Second daughter-in-law, did you hear that? I'm punishing you to kneel in the ancestral hall. Don't hold a grudge."

Jiang Ersao panicked. It was so dark and scary in the ancestral hall!

She was terrified of the dark, and the presence of so many memorial tablets only made it more frightening.

Jiang Ersao: "Mother, I..."

Grandma Jiang was furious. "Aren't you going? Do you want me to drag you there?"

Someone with a kind heart quickly spoke up, "Auntie, you're too old to travel around. I'll take Xiaofei's mother with me."

Of course, Grandma Jiang might not necessarily want someone to help her with this.

But she couldn't refuse.

People in the countryside have always been closely connected, especially those from large families.

You can make a scene behind closed doors, but if you dare to act up at someone else's doorstep, you should be prepared for the worst.

As Jiang Ersao was taken away, Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her youngest daughter-in-law and asked, "Third daughter-in-law, are you satisfied now?"

I'm extremely satisfied.

“Mother’s way of handling things is the fairest, of course I’m satisfied.” As she spoke, Gu An’an stuffed the half-clothes into Old Madam Jiang’s hands. “This was sent by my second sister-in-law through Cui Cui, but my Zhu’er really can’t accept it. Please take it back, Mother.”

This sarcastic tone made Old Lady Jiang so angry she wanted to hit someone, but how could she do that in front of everyone?

Angrily, Old Lady Jiang took the half-clothes and limped away.

If it hadn't blown up and made her family lose face, she would be lying on the bed right now, wouldn't she?

After all, it's still quite irritating to look at on the buttocks.

The villagers who had been gathered at the doorway dispersed one after another, with Aunt Li lagging behind. "If your second sister-in-law comes looking for trouble again, just have the children go and call me."

Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Ersao is in the wrong today.

Given that person's meticulous nature, he'll probably come back to cause trouble again.

Aunt Li felt sorry for Gu An'an, who was so young to marry into the family and had to live like a widow while raising several children. As long as Gu An'an treated the children well, Aunt Li wouldn't mind helping her out.

Gu An'an quickly agreed, "Then we might have to trouble you, Auntie, in the future. It's dark and the roads are hard to walk on, so please take Grandma Li home, Eldest Brother."

Jiang Mingyi, who had been out but had no opportunity to use his skills, nodded in agreement upon hearing this arrangement.

Aunt Li quickly refused, "No need, no need." It's just a few steps, why would anyone need to go out of their way to deliver it?

However, Jiang Mingyi still went along.
