When Tang Baojuan found out, she immediately went to kill him.

Old Mrs. Song sat down and wept at the door of her second son's house. She wept for the hardships of being widowed young, for her unfilial son. She wept that her son lived in a high-rise house while she couldn't even afford to eat properly...

This was roughly in line with Song Yan's estimation. If Old Madam Song thought her eldest son was useless, she wouldn't care about him. If Old Madam Song didn't care about the life or death of her eldest son's family, then the eldest son wouldn't have much control over her.

"Second Brother Song, are you going to let your mother cry like this? If she keeps acting like this, your son will be gone. Doesn't she say you're unfilial? Don't give her any money starting next month." Tang Baojuan blocked the doorway to prevent the old lady from going inside and hurting Song Yan's mother.

Song Lao Er had lost all filial piety towards his mother. "I give money to the eldest son every month, and you still don't have enough to eat. Then I won't give you any money next month."

"Fine! Then don't give him any money. I'll go with you next month." Old Mrs. Song stopped crying, stood up abruptly, and was about to go inside.

Tang Baojuan wouldn't tolerate her and forcefully pushed her away, preventing her from entering.

Song Lao Er's heart sank. His mother was planning to stay at his house and torment him. He vividly remembered how she had abused his wife in the past. His wife was pregnant now, and if she stayed at home for two days, the baby would be lost. At his wife's age, a miscarriage wouldn't just mean he wouldn't have a son, it would be half the death of his wife.

"I know this must have been taught to you by Song Laosan." Song Laoer tried to lock the door, but the old lady wouldn't let go.

Tang Baojuan asked Song Lao Er what he wanted to do. He said he wanted to lock the door and go out to find his younger brother.

With Tang Baojuan around, Old Lady Song couldn't get into the house.

Song's father knew that Song Yan had given money to Tang Baojuan, and with Tang Baojuan around, he had nothing to worry about.

His daughter had gone to the countryside, so far away, and he was still worried about her father. A layer of resentment grew in Song's heart. "Look how accurately his daughter guessed," he thought, "his mother will never let him off the hook."

Grandma Song scolded Tang Baojuan for meddling in other people's business, and cried and made a scene at the door of Grandpa Song's house.

The neighbors on both sides of the building, including Old Mrs. Song, were all talking about her.

Even with Tang Baojuan alone, Old Lady Song couldn't get into the house, let alone with so many people willing to help!

Before Old Mrs. Song even went inside, Father Song dragged in Song Laosan, who was bruised and swollen from being beaten.

Grandma Song's darling was her third son. He'd been beaten, and she was heartbroken! "Who did this? Who did this? I'll go after them!"

“I hit him. He’s always instigating you to mess with Song Yan’s mother. Even when my wife is pregnant, he doesn’t intend to let her go.”

"My brother turned out like this because I, as the older brother, haven't done a good job." After saying this, Song's father slapped Song Laosan across the face in front of the old lady.

Grandma Song rushed forward to hit Grandpa Song. Tang Baojuan grabbed the old lady, saying, "Everyone, come and help! This old woman has gone mad."

Grandma Song's behavior was too much for everyone to bear, so they all pulled her away. Tang Baojuan took the opportunity to pinch and twist her.

When Old Mrs. Song was about to wail, Tang Baojuan's voice was even louder.

Tang Baojuan asked everyone to judge for themselves: Song Lao Er's wife has had a tough time all these years, hasn't she? Now that she's finally pregnant again, Song Lao Tai (Old Mrs. Song) is up to no good and wants to abort the child.

Old Mrs. Song was surrounded by women, and Song's father beat Song Laosan until he cried out in pain.

It wasn't until Grandma Yang arrived with her entourage that Song's father was pulled away. Without giving Grandma Song time to throw a tantrum, they simply carried her home.

Grandma Yang immediately notified the machinery factory, and before the end of the workday, Song Laoda, Song Cheng, and his wife were sent home. If her family couldn't resolve the old lady's problem, they wouldn't need to come back to work.

Especially Song Cheng's wife; the factory needs to educate him. Isn't what Old Mrs. Song is doing exactly what she said she would do back then? After so much time of education, doesn't she repent?

Songcheng's wife was about to vomit. She just blurted it out without thinking. After being lectured for so long, she wouldn't dare say it again, okay?

Grandma Song was taken home, where her eldest son's family tried to persuade her. The old woman retorted, "You won't cook me anything good, and you won't even let me go see my second son? If you won't let me go, then cook me something good."

The eldest son of the Song family gave the third son a task: if he couldn't stop the old lady, he shouldn't even think about eating a meal at home.

The old lady was both angry and furious. Why were they all bullying her youngest son? So she just said it directly.

So talking is considered bullying? Then let's show his mother what real bullying is. After Song Lao San was beaten one-on-one, the eldest Song father and son proceeded to give him a double beating.

This was the worst day of Song Laosan's life.

Old Mrs. Song had been a woman of her word for half her life, and she was truly unwilling to accept this. She redirected all the anger she had previously directed at Song Yan's family to Song Laoda's family.

Those days of discipline were a nightmare. The old lady's behavior got them kicked out of the factory. Given their past actions, it wasn't impossible for them to be dismissed. If the management committee takes notice of them, that nightmare will repeat itself.

He Xiaofen and Song Cheng's wife were furious.

Songcheng's wife: "Dad, we all have jobs. It's Third Uncle who can't let go of Second Uncle's salary!"

The old lady's making such a fuss means the money goes to my third uncle, but we're the ones who suffer the consequences and the education she deserves.

He Xiaofen: "Who has spent all the money from the second son's family over the years? The third son spent it, and now it's our family's turn to pay it back. Look at the old lady now, she's still thinking about the third son, regardless of whether we live or die."

Song Cheng and Song Laoda were furious. They couldn't stand either being reprimanded or losing their jobs! The father and son couldn't stop their double beating of Song Laosan.

Song Laosan couldn't take it anymore and kept begging for mercy. Seeing her third son beaten like this, Old Mrs. Song desperately wanted to fight Song Laoda. But with He Xiaofen and another woman holding her back, she couldn't do anything. All she could do was keep shouting and cursing.

Song Laosan later begged them to stop. He was sure he could find a way to stop his mother.

The eldest son and his father were exhausted. "Third son, you try to persuade the old lady to stop! Or else..."

Song Laosan pulled the old lady into the side room where Song Laoer used to live. "I've been beaten all this time, can't you see? Can't you just stop causing trouble?"

“Son! The Song family is reluctant to feed us. I feel bad seeing you eating coarse food and vegetables every day. The Song family is doing well. I heard from your older brother that he gave the Song family some money. That brat Song Yan also gives his parents money.”

Your second brother's family lives a very comfortable life. They eat and drink well every day. I'll take you to your second brother's house.

"Mom! Stop dreaming. Didn't you see Song Lao Er hit me? If Song Lao Da dared to let you go to Song Lao Er's house, he would lose his job, and he would beat me to death. Can't you see?" Song Lao San was in pain all over.

Does Song Laosan not want to live the life he used to have? Of course he does! But he has to be alive to enjoy it. How many times has his second brother beaten him? Now, with his eldest brother's family on the list, if things continue like this, how can he survive? Is his mother blind? Can't she see it?

He was not as physically strong as his eldest brother, and his second brother was stronger. He couldn't beat either of them and could only take the beating.
