Having enjoyed too many good days, they've become complacent and lost all sense of their own worth.

Shaking her head, the Queen Mother gritted her teeth and left.

Seeing her mother's disappearing figure, Wang lay on the bed and began to sob.

"Old woman, how is it? Has that girl listened to your advice?"

"Don't even mention it," the Queen Mother said, taking a sip of water to calm herself down before speaking. "She won't listen to anything we say. We need to make plans as soon as possible."

“Mother,” upon hearing this, Wang Dadi’s heart skipped a beat, “What do you want to do? Eldest sister is already the wife of a marquis.”

“Your sister has completely gone astray. It’s not that she did anything wrong,” Wang’s mother explained seriously, “but that she has lost the sense of security she used to have. She lacks a sense of fear towards her in-laws, her husband, and everyone else.”

"What's the meaning?"

"In other words, she's fearless now, not out of despair, but out of sheer arrogance."

Upon hearing this, Wang's father immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. "Daughter-in-law, what should we do? If this continues, even if the Huang family is made of dough, there will come a day when they can't take it anymore."

"Father, why do you say that too?"

"What do you know?" Wang's father glared at his son. "She may not know your sister's capabilities, but we certainly do. If the Huang family kicks her out, what can she do besides come back crying and wailing? What will she do then?"

"No, no way!"

“Why not?” Wang’s father was eager to teach his son, explaining in detail, “A family like the Huangs should, in principle, marry a daughter from a wealthy family. Even if the family background is not good, she should be sensible. Your sister has none of those qualities. How long can people tolerate her?”

Sending them back this time clearly shows they're genuinely impatient.

"My sister didn't do anything, did she?"

Wang Dadi himself felt a little guilty.

Her sister's actions wouldn't be considered a big problem in a rural family. There are plenty of snobbish people out there; at most, they'd grumble a bit, but they'd rarely break off relations.

But if it were the Huang family, he really couldn't guarantee it.

After all, he had never seen what wealthy families were like and didn't know.

"We don't dare to cause any big trouble now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

The Queen Mother had a vague feeling that although her daughter looked as delicate as ever, her mind had changed.

Even she, as the mother, didn't quite understand it.

"Wife, what are your thoughts?"

"We have a nunnery here, let's send her there to sober up."

“Mother, nunneries are so austere, how can we send someone there? Can my sister endure it?”

"We have to put up with it, even if we can't stand it. If we let her continue to cause trouble, it's a miracle if she can even stay in the nunnery. It's hard to say whether she can even save her life."

Wang's father hesitated for a moment, "How are we going to explain this to the Huang family?"

“What are you going to explain? They just want to use us to put pressure on her. Can’t you even see that?” Mother Wang glanced at the father and son with disdain. “That’s why the Huang family is really fed up with her.”

"How about we think of another way? If we suddenly send her to a nunnery, people will inevitably have some doubts if they find out."

"Simply say that I am not feeling well and ask her to go to the nunnery to pray for me."

Having said everything the Queen Mother had to say, the Wang father and son had no choice but to agree.

Wang thought she could catch her breath after returning to her parents' home, but she was sent to a nunnery the next day, which terrified her so much that her face turned pale.

But fear was useless. The Wang family was determined to teach her a lesson, and they suppressed her even when she cried and made a fuss.

Upon learning the news, Xie immediately found Jiang Nuanzai in the backyard and explained it to her in detail.

Finally, with a sigh, he said, "The Wang family treats their daughter even more cruelly than we outsiders."

"Perhaps we were wrong. By indulging her without punishment, we made her lose all sense of respect and ended up harming her."

“The Wang family can do it, but we can’t,” Xie shook her head. “If word gets out, they might say we abused her, and if someone with ulterior motives stirs things up, Da Niu and the others might hate us.”

Even the most sensible child will not remain indifferent if they learn that their mother has been bullied.

This is a mother's instinct; no matter how good others are to him, it won't make a difference.

“I had this concern from the beginning,” Jiang Nuan said with a wry smile. “Actually, I also had my own selfish reasons. After giving her two chances and she didn’t change, I was too lazy to bother anymore.”

“It has nothing to do with Mother. There’s nothing anyone can do if my sister-in-law can’t figure it out herself,” Xie retorted. “Besides, this approach might not even work.”

Xie felt that the Wang family's good intentions would not be accepted by her as the eldest sister-in-law, and that she would instead harbor resentment towards her own family.

Although she didn't say it out loud, it was clear that the eldest sister-in-law always felt that everyone in the family had wronged her, rejected her, and bullied her.

She doesn't even consider her own behavior. If she had been more generous, things wouldn't be like this now.

"Let's talk about it later," Jiang Nuan said, somewhat annoyed. "Since the Wang family has taken action, let's see how it goes first."

If sending it to the nunnery didn't work, she truly gave up all hope.

The soft approach has already been tried, but it didn't work.

If even force didn't work, she gave up completely.

“If it doesn’t work, just leave it to my elder brother,” Xie said innocently. “He has his own wife, so he should take care of her himself. Mother doesn’t need to worry about this.”

“I’m just worried about Da Niu and the other kids,” Jiang Nuan frowned. “If something happens to your sister-in-law, they will definitely be affected.”

"We are not afraid!"

Suddenly, Da Niu's clear, sweet voice rang out.

"Da Niu," Jiang Nuan asked in surprise, "what are you doing here?"

After saying that, he hurriedly picked the child up from the vat.

At this moment, Da Niu's face was covered in tears, and his lips were covered in teeth marks, clearly indicating that he had heard a lot.

"I've been playing hide-and-seek with Erniu all afternoon."

“Da Niu,” Xie asked tentatively, “how much did you hear?”

Upon hearing this, Da Niu didn't say anything, but buried his face in Jiang Nuan's arms and cried.

"Don't cry," Jiang Nuan comforted her as she soothed her, "Let's not cry, okay?"

"Grandma, Mom is bad, I hate her."

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and immediately became tense.

“Da Niu, it’s all your second aunt’s fault. She’s so gossipy and talks badly about your mother behind her back. Your second aunt apologizes to you. Your mother is a very good person. Don’t misunderstand.”

“That’s right, Grandma also has to apologize to you. Grandma was prejudiced against your mother, which was really wrong of her.”

"No, she's wicked. Erniu and I didn't want to go to the capital, and she called us ungrateful wretches and kept pinching us. It hurt so much, I didn't dare to cry."

Da Niu, feeling increasingly aggrieved, cried uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan immediately lifted Da Niu's clothes and saw the bruises on his arm. She immediately picked him up and walked out, saying, "Grandma will take you to Doctor Gu. The medicine will make it stop hurting. Just bear with it, okay?"

“Da Niu, you child, why don’t you say it hurts?” Xie was also very distressed. “It’s so hot in the summer, you can’t keep this injury covered up.”

Xie wanted to curse loudly, but she didn't dare to speak because of the child. However, she still cursed Wang from head to toe in her heart.

It's inhuman to do such a thing to such a young child.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid my mother will be scolded."
