Old Mrs. He saw that the entire family of Lao Liu, from top to bottom, were challenging her.

She immediately became furious, got up, sat on the ground, and started throwing a tantrum.

"You unfilial family! Look at the nonsense your parents are spouting!"

"You guys are so heartless! If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off not having you at all!"

He Chun was scolded until his face turned red, and he was also full of grievances. "Mother, I have been making a living on my own since I can remember. You have never taken care of me!"

But Old Mrs. He is not listening to any of this now, and has started to deny everything.

"I've never taken care of you? If I hadn't taken care of you, how could you have lived this long? What, were you born knowing how to walk and growing this big?"

Old Mrs. He's voice was very loud, especially during the Spring Festival when everyone was out and about, so it attracted a lot of attention.

Just then, Tao Tingzhang, the village head of Peach Blossom Village, and several women from the village walked past the doorway.

Hearing the commotion at the He family's house, they came in to see what was going on.

"What's all this noise about in your house during the Chinese New Year?"

Tao Tingzhang's voice came from outside, startling everyone in the room.

Old Mrs. He's crying stopped abruptly, and when she saw Tao Tingzhang enter, it was as if she had seen a savior.

"You've come at the right time, Pavilion Chief. Our family is truly cursed to have given birth to such a scoundrel as the sixth son."

"You be the judge, I'm old now, and the sixth brother's family doesn't care about me anymore... I'd rather be dead..."

He Chun quickly explained, "Chief, I haven't neglected my mother. It's just that I've moved to Changfeng Village now and can't be by her side to take care of her all the time..."

He Chun explained the whole story clearly, and thankfully, this Pavilion Chief Tao was at least willing to listen.

“Director Tao, you can’t blame my parents for this. They didn’t say they wouldn’t support me in my old age. But who can afford two taels of silver a month?” He Tiantian said earnestly.

Tao, the pavilion chief, stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

“Sister-in-law, you’re asking for too much money. We’re all getting old, don’t make things difficult for our children…”

The women behind them were just curious and came in to join in the fun, but when they heard that it was two taels of silver, they were also startled.

"Sister-in-law, your asking price of two taels of silver is simply outrageous. Even the rich old ladies in the city aren't that greedy."

Old Mrs. He strongly disagreed with what these older women were saying, and she was so angry that she was panting heavily.

"What do you know! My sixth daughter is very wealthy, she doesn't care about this little bit of money!"

He Tiantian was almost laughing in anger, but she still pretended to be pitiful and said, "Grandma, I am a widow who has lost my husband and still have to take care of three children. Where would I get the money?"

When Old Lady He heard this, she was stunned. Had she seen it wrong?

This granddaughter is only glamorous on the surface; in reality, her life isn't that great.

No, her granddaughter is very quick-witted; we can't trust her so easily.

"Your husband must be getting a lot of compensation! How could your life be worse than ours!"
