"Aunt, Shuguang has told me all the suffering you've endured. It's all their fault. What should we be ashamed of? Please don't overthink it."

Zheng Yushan hugged Su Hong's arm and vowed to stand by her future mother-in-law.

"Mom, don't be afraid. Grandpa and Dad can't bear to do that. There's no need for them to step forward. Someone else will naturally step forward."

Zhang Shuguang was very confident. As soon as he released the news of purchasing mountain products, someone blocked the door and made him unhappy. Naturally, the villagers would not let them off.

Sure enough, someone had been paying attention to the situation in Zhang Shuguang's family. When Zhang Xiangdong's family started crying and wailing, someone called Zhang Xiangyang over, followed by a group of angry members.

"Zhang Xiangdong, what are you doing?"

Zhang Xiangyang shouted loudly, scaring Zhang Xiangdong, who was lying on the stretcher, so much that he shuddered.

He was only hanging on by a thread when he asked this question. What else could he do? He could only beg for forgiveness.

"Xiao Guang just came back, and you guys are rushing over to cause trouble for him, right? I'll beat the shit out of you today."

Some members rolled up their sleeves and planned to teach Zhang Xiangdong's family a lesson for their short-sightedness.

Bai Yanniang quietly hid to the side. Although she was afraid, she still felt that this member was bragging.

Because Zhang Shuguang failed to purchase their mountain products for two consecutive times, the family had run out of food long ago.

During this period, Zhang Xiangdong and his family had not eaten any proper food. They only ate grass roots, tree barks, and even Guanyin soil.

Bai Yanniang hadn't had a bowel movement for more than ten days, and she didn't believe anyone could force her to poop out now.

They were just a group of farmers, not experienced Chinese doctors, so it was impossible for them to cure her constipation.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xiangyang's tone was very stiff, and he looked down at the family who were lying down.

"Captain, we are not here to cause trouble. We are here to ask for forgiveness from our grandparents and our second uncle's family."

Zhang Chenguang plucked up his courage and pointed to his knees.

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? You were the ones who wanted to sever ties back then, and now you're the ones who are clamoring for reconciliation.

Why do you hide when you see trouble and jump at the chance when you see benefit? Do you think everyone else is stupid?

Zhang Xiangyang looked at the miserable plight of Zhang Xiangdong's family and felt no sympathy at all.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Zhang Xiangdong's family ended up in such a situation because of their own actions.

"Captain, why waste time talking to these scumbags? Just beat them away."

The impatient members were ready to fight, just waiting for the team leader's order to give a good beating.

"Wait a minute, let me ask Uncle Qingchun what he thinks first."

Just like what his wife thought, this was Uncle Qingchun’s family affair after all. How to treat Zhang Xiangdong’s family was ultimately up to the old man himself to decide.

When I entered the yard and found the old couple, they were unexpectedly calm, as if the family kneeling and wailing at the door were just strangers who had nothing to do with them.

The old man was even in a mood to give Zhang Xiangyang a cigarette: "Xiangyang, since we have drawn a clear line, then don't continue to pester them. Please let everyone take them away.

The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing. Don’t delay your afternoon shopping for mountain products.”

"Aunt, what do you think?" Zhang Xiangyang turned his gaze to the old lady again.

"I only have one son, Zhang Xiangnan, and one daughter, Zhang Yue'e. I don't recognize the others."

The old lady was still a little sad in her heart, but she would definitely not mention it.

The old couple no longer work. From now on, they will not have to worry about anything and will just enjoy their retirement peacefully.

"Okay, I understand."

Uncle and aunt have explained it so clearly, and he knows what to do.

As soon as Zhang Xiangyang walked out of the hospital, he heard the pleading and wailing of Zhang Xiangdong's family outside.

When the members drove them away, they were not polite at all. Except for Zhang Xiangdong, who was about to die, Bai Yan and her two daughters were all beaten badly.

The sound gradually faded away and soon could no longer be heard.

Before one wave of trouble subsided, another wave arose. Not long after the trouble calmed down, an unpleasant sound was heard outside again.

"Mom, please let me see my daughter. Fu Ni is the flesh that fell from my body!

You are also a mother, you can't be so cruel as to prevent us, mother and daughter, from seeing each other.

Brother, are you back? I'm your most beloved sister! Come out and look at me!

For the past six months on the farm, besides working, I've been thinking about you all the time. Can we go back to the way we were?"

"Mother-in-law, we know we were wrong. We hope you and father-in-law will give us another chance. We will definitely be filial to you in the future."

The voices of Zhang Yuejiao and Liu Jinshui made Fu Ni, who was playing with her cousin, pause. She turned around and ran towards Su Hong, throwing herself into her arms.

"Don't be afraid, Funi. Mother will not send you away."

Su Hong hugged Fu Ni and comforted her softly.

"These evil creatures."

Liu Guixiang was so angry that her body was shaking slightly.

Did those two evildoers have a plan? The future granddaughter-in-law came and saw all the shame of the Zhang family.

"I must beat her to death today."

Liu Guixiang walked out the door dragging a broom.

Zhang Xiangdong, that was the day when the relationship was actually severed in front of the brigade headquarters and commune leaders.

Zhang Yuejiao only said verbally that she was breaking off relations, but it didn't count. Avoiding her wasn't a solution either. He let her scream and shout at the door, making him so angry that his chest hurt. He might as well just give her a good beating.

As soon as they saw the old lady go out, the whole family followed her out in a hurry.

"You two black-hearted, selfish guys, now that your daughter has become so popular, what were you doing before?

Fu Ni was unwanted by your Liu family. When Yueying sent her to me, she was extremely thin and covered in wounds. You said you missed your daughter, but can I believe you?

You had swindled a lot of your second brother’s allowances in the past. How did you repay him when his son fell ill?

Not only did you not give a penny, but you also kicked your father out of the house without him having a sip of water, and told him to have less contact with you in the future so as not to get you into trouble.

Now you're blocking the door every day trying to ease the relationship, but it's too late!"

While cursing, the old lady indiscriminately attacked Zhang Yuejiao and Liu Jinshui with a broom.

"Mom, stop hitting me. We know we were wrong."

"We are all at fault. Please be magnanimous and give us a chance to mend our ways."

"Mom, the injuries on Funi's body were caused by her grandmother. I never hit Funi when I was at home. If you don't believe me, you can ask her!"

"Mom, I never said I didn't want Funi. It was when we were away that the old couple made a mistake. It doesn't count!"

…

Liu Jinshui and Zhang Yuejiao held their heads and begged for mercy while explaining.

This was something the couple had discussed in advance. No matter how much they beat or scolded their parents, as long as they could calm down, there would definitely be room for easing the situation.
