So no matter how unwilling Zhang's daughter-in-law was, she had to obediently crawl on her knees to apologize to Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie one by one...
"Aunt Fang, I'm sorry! You're right, I had a foul mouth and insulted the third son's family. I apologize to you."
"Brother, you were right to hit him. I was wrong. I won't blame you."
Fang Yan: ...
Although her apology was less than satisfactory.
However, Fang Yan's request for her to apologize to Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie in public was not actually about apologizing.
Instead, she was thinking about apologizing, making an example of her to let others know that her family, even if they were only temporarily staying in Gouzi Village, were involved.
However, Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie neither occupied any village land, nor harmed anyone else's interests, nor did they ever cause trouble.
Anyone who dares to use the so-called "outsiders" again will cause trouble for them.
Therefore, she must be determined to seek justice for her mother and brother.
Seeing Zhang's daughter-in-law crawling around on the ground apologizing like a dog, those who originally harbored dark thoughts about Fang Yan silently swallowed those thoughts and digested them internally.
Although no one forced Zhang's daughter-in-law to kneel down and crawl around apologizing.
But now that things have come to this point, who will step up?
However, to be fair, the reason things have come to this point is entirely due to the "efforts" of the Zhang family.
So even though Zhang's daughter-in-law knelt until her knees were raw and bleeding, no one sympathized with her.
"Remember this: if you ever dare to fabricate or slander me or my family again, I will make you pay tenfold."
Fang Yan said this to Zhang's daughter-in-law.
But she subtly raised her voice so that everyone present could hear her.
She has her own unique insights into doing business and has helped more than a dozen households in the village to do different small businesses in the county town. While they may not make a fortune, they can still provide a comfortable life for their families.
In addition, she bought firewood from the villagers and asked the elderly women who were unable to do heavy work in the fields but whose hands and feet were still nimble to help wash pig intestines and so on.
It has generated income for many families.
It can be said that more than four-fifths of the people in Gouzi Village are extremely kind to Fang Yan.
The remaining one-fifth are families like Zhang Laowu and the Zhang family.
Although their numbers were small, the things they occasionally did were quite disgusting and annoying to Fang Yan.
The closer it gets to the Lunar New Year, the busier she gets, so we have to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys to avoid causing her any more trouble.
"Mom, brother, we're going back."
After tidying up Zhang's wife, Fang Yan called Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie to take Xiaoyu and the others home.
Zhang's wife scrambled after her, trying to grab her leg, crying, "Third son's wife, you can't leave!"
With Qibei's protection, Fang Yan easily avoided Zhang's daughter-in-law, turned around, and looked down at her, "Can't I leave?"
"You haven't even helped me plead with this boss yet!" Zhang's wife pointed at Boss Wu and said matter-of-factly.
Following her fingertip, Fang Yan saw the calculation in Boss Wu's eyes, sneered, and asked, "Why should I plead for you?"
Boss Wu's scheme was far too ambitious. He was probably thinking that if Fang Yan spoke up for her fellow villagers, he would immediately demand an exorbitant amount and take back the thousand yuan he had just mentioned for the braising spice recipe.
However……
Zhang's daughter-in-law was so angry that she jumped up from the ground, "Just now it was clearly..."
"What did you just say?"
Fang Yan forcefully interrupted her, "You fabricated and slandered me out of thin air. My mother and brother defended me, but you immediately accused them of bullying you. Shouldn't you apologize to us for what you did?"
"Also, I didn't agree to talk to you like I owe you something."
Fang Yan's face darkened, and her voice also became deep. A sense of intimidation and domineering power immediately arose, which was felt not only by Zhang's wife who was very close to her, but also by the onlookers around.
Zhang's daughter-in-law was stunned by her domineering aura, standing there dumbfounded, like a wooden doll.
Taking advantage of this moment, Fang Yan took her family and Aunt De back home.
Once she realized what was happening, Zhang's wife wanted to catch up quickly.
It was stopped by the onlookers...
Why did you go after the third son's family?
"Given what you did to them, just making you apologize is already being lenient enough. If it were me, I probably would have beaten you up to feel better."
"That's right. Besides, the third brother's wife didn't promise you that she would plead for you as long as you apologized. How can you have the nerve to go to her?"
...
She was stopped by everyone, and their arguments left her speechless, giving her no chance to go find Fang Yan again.
He finally had a chance to completely reverse his attitude towards Fang Yan.
Mr. Wu had already subtly adopted a stance of trying to control Fang Yan through this situation.
Unexpectedly, he had just quietly assumed the posture of an old man.
Looking back, wow!
Fang Yan, that down-on-his-luck woman, has already taken her whole family and gone home in a grand procession.
He was so angry that he glared at Zhang's wife, who was walking towards him.
What a bunch of useless trash!
They can't even keep one person.
"I'll settle accounts with your family later!"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and hurriedly chased after Fang Yan's family.
Zhang Zongde and the village chief followed closely behind.
Of course, before leaving, the village chief turned back and glared at Zhang's daughter-in-law, saying, "Go back and tell your father-in-law to wait at home!"
This family is a bunch of troublemakers; they need to be taught a lesson. If that doesn't work, we'll find a way to teach them a lesson.
Putting aside the fact that Zhang Jizhou risked his life to defend the country, his wife and children should be taken care of.
Take Fang Yan for example. Since the family split up, how many households in the village has she helped?
How many people have eaten more meat this year than last year because of her?
These heartless people only care about other people's pockets, but they never reflect on why they can make money while others can't.
They only think about getting something for nothing all day long, and aren't they afraid that money will fall from the sky and crush them?
After glaring at him, the village chief quickly followed Zhang Zongde's footsteps, looking at the back of Boss Wu walking ahead, and asked him in a low voice, "Uncle De, what should we do with this guy?"
Zhang Zongde remained calm. "What can we do? He'll leave the same way he came. We don't need to worry about it."
The fighting power of the third brother's family would definitely make him run away quickly.
"No, what I mean is, if he really wants to take down the Zhang family, should we step in and protect them?" the village chief asked in a low voice.
They're from our village, after all.
The people of Gouzi Village are known for their unity and never allow their own people to be bullied by people from other villages.
