"Zhao Zhenzhu, you shameless bastard! You stole food and dared to hit my grandson! Do you think I'm dead?" Ding Ermei said fiercely.

"Mom~! Grandma's back." Zhou Yunyun tugged at Zhao Zhenzhu's sleeve, her face full of fear.

"Don't be afraid, baby. Stay inside and don't come out." Zhao Zhenzhu patted her daughter's head and walked towards the door.

It's good that children can face the ugliness of the world a little later.

When Ding Ermei saw Zhao Zhenzhu, her eyes turned red.

"Zhao Zhenzhu, you stole eggs from home and dared to hit my precious grandson! You shameless slut!" Ding Ermei lunged forward, raising her hand to slap Zhao Zhenzhu.

Zhao Zhenzhu dodged, and Ding Ermei missed her target and fell flat on her face.

"It's not a festival or holiday, so there's no need for such a grand ceremony," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.

"You little bitch, you dare to hide after doing something wrong?" Ding Ermei stared at Zhao Zhenzhu with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Ding Ermei was used to being domineering in front of her daughter-in-law.

It's common for them to curse and hit without warning.

Even Ding Xiaocui, the second daughter-in-law who was most favored by Ding Ermei, only dared to beg for mercy verbally when she was being beaten, but did not dare to dodge even half a step.

There's also the eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Jinfeng, who usually acts recklessly because she's a relative of the village secretary.

However, as soon as Ding Ermei said, "Don't ask me for money from the eldest son's family in the future," Chen Jinfeng immediately backed down.

Only Zhao Zhenzhu.

Over the years, Ding Ermei has never been able to find any fault with Zhao Zhenzhu.

Zhao Zhenzhu was gentle and obedient. In the seven years since she married into the Zhou family, she had never argued with anyone around her. Whenever Ding Ermei asked Zhao Zhenzhu to do something, Zhao Zhenzhu would obediently agree and do it quickly and well.

Ding Ermei stole the allowance that Zhou Bingchen had given to Zhao Zhenzhu. Even though Zhao Zhenzhu was very dissatisfied, she still spoke to Ding Ermei in a soft and gentle voice.

Ding Ermei deliberately didn't prepare a gift for Zhao Zhenzhu. Zhao Zhenzhu asked about it once and then left. She didn't cause any trouble for Ding Ermei afterward.

No matter how many tricks Ding Ermei had up her sleeve, she couldn't use them. A battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always needs a pretext. If Zhao Zhenzhu hadn't done anything wrong, and Ding Ermei dared to beat or scold her, the entire village would condemn her to a fate worse than death.

Today, the opportunity has arrived.

With a handprint on his face, Zhou Jiaxiang ran crying to the threshing ground to complain to Ding Ermei that Zhao Zhenzhu and her daughter had stolen eggs from their home and had also hit him.

Ding Ermei dropped the rake in her hand and ran home.

Zhao Zhenzhu was skilled at making clothes and earned a considerable amount of money each year. Ding Ermei had long coveted the money Zhao Zhenzhu had.

Unfortunately, although Zhao Zhenzhu is gentle, she can be very stubborn when she gets angry.

When Ding Ermei asked Zhao Zhenzhu for money to make clothes, Zhao Zhenzhu retorted with what Ding Ermei had said: Zhou Bingchen had already paid for the food and lodging expenses of the three households, and there was no reason to pay again.

Ding Ermei was furious, but she couldn't do anything about Zhao Zhenzhu.

Now that Zhao Zhenzhu has been caught cheating and hitting Zhou Jiaxiang, Ding Ermei feels she has caught Zhao Zhenzhu red-handed.

Ding Ermei has made up her mind.

When she got home, she first slapped Zhao Zhenzhu a few times to vent her anger, then forced Zhao Zhenzhu to promise to give her all the money she earned in the future.

As a result, Zhao Zhenzhu did not do things according to Ding Ermei's expectations at all.

Ding Ermei's slap failed to land on Zhao Zhenzhu's face, and she herself tripped and fell.

Hearing Ding Ermei's cursing, Zhao Zhenzhu's face darkened.

Ding Ermei's mouth is so foul. If it weren't inappropriate to hit someone now, Zhao Zhenzhu would have already taken action.

If Zhao Zhenzhu wants a divorce, she needs to gain the upper hand in public opinion.

It would be unacceptable to lay a hand on Ding Ermei in public.

In rural areas, no matter how outrageous the elders' actions are, no matter how angry the younger generation is, they cannot directly lay a hand on their elders. Otherwise, even if the younger generation is in the right, they will be found to be in the wrong.

Zhao Zhenzhu only wanted to divorce Zhou Bingchen and did not want to ruin her reputation.

After devising a plan, Zhao Zhenzhu gave Ding Ermei a provocative smile and said, "Do you think I'm just waiting for you to hit me if I don't dodge? I'm not stupid."

After Zhao Zhenzhu finished speaking, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Ding Ermei.

Ding Ermei was so angry she nearly fell backward.

She knew that Zhao Zhenzhu's docility was all an act, and today she finally revealed her true colors.

However, Ding Ermei was not afraid.

Even though Chen Jinfeng is so powerful, she's still always being trampled underfoot by her.

“I’m your mother-in-law. If you do something wrong, you should take the beating I give you.” Ding Ermei got up, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely.

"My own mother never laid a finger on me, who do you think you are?" Zhao Zhenzhu rolled her eyes again.

"You, you, you...you unfilial son, aren't you afraid I'll write a letter to Bingchen?" Ding Ermei's finger trembled as she pointed at Zhao Zhenzhu, her face filled with disbelief.

"Write whatever you want, whether Zhou Bingchen believes it or not is up to him." Zhao Zhenzhu still acted arrogantly.

"You wait. I'll have the old man write a letter to Bingchen right now, asking him to divorce you," Ding Ermei said angrily.

"Fine, I'll wait. If you don't write this letter, you're a dog." Zhao Zhenzhu's main goal today was to infuriate people to no end.

Ding Ermei was so angry she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This is outrageous! Zhao Zhenzhu has really gone too far today!

If we can't shut down Zhao Zhenzhu's arrogance today, she, as the mother-in-law, will lose all authority in this family.

Chen Jinfeng might follow suit and oppose her.

Thinking of this, Ding Ermei sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and shouted, "Oh my goodness! Everyone come and see! The daughter-in-law is bullying her mother-in-law!"

"I raised my son from infancy, changing his diapers and feeding him, and now, in the end, I still have to put up with my daughter-in-law's temper!"

"What's the point of living like this? I might as well just... die!"

Ding Ermei began to cry out in a drawn-out, melodious voice.

Zhao Zhenzhu crossed her arms over her chest, remained silent, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

Zhao Zhenzhu knew that Ding Ermei, having lost the argument, would definitely resort to this "ultimate killing move".

He would lure the villagers to his home with his wailing and shouting, then publicly berate his daughter-in-law, demanding their judgment and using public opinion to force her to submit…

Ding Ermei used the same tactic on her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Jinfeng.

That time, Chen Jinfeng was thoroughly humiliated by Ding Ermei.

Zhao Zhenzhu is not the Zhao Zhenzhu of the past, nor is she Chen Jinfeng.

Ding Ermei's plan is destined to fail today.

Ding Ermei has a loud voice, and the nearby villagers heard the noise and came running over one by one.

Aunt Zhang, who lives nearby, was the first to arrive.

At first, Aunt Zhang thought Ding Ermei had gotten into another fight with her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Jinfeng. When she saw Zhao Zhenzhu, Aunt Zhang was taken aback.

"Pearl, what happened? Should I go and close the door?" Aunt Zhang leaned closer to Zhao Pearl and asked softly.

Aunt Zhang's family lived in town, not far from Zhao Zhenzhu's family home, and the two families had always had a good relationship.
