After throwing the manure, everyone was very excited. It was so satisfying. In the past, no one could win the argument with Mrs. Du, and no one could make trouble with the Huang family. Now the house was in a mess. They didn't know where to start cleaning up. There was no place to step in the house.
The Huang family members were also forced to leave the house.
As soon as Mrs. Du left the house, she jumped up and down and started cursing, "You black-hearted bastards, you actually came to my house to bully me! You really just saw that we were orphans and widows and had no one to help us, so you resorted to cruelty, didn't you? Do you still have any shame? Oh, God! Why don't you take care of this bunch of heartless people?"
Someone immediately replied, "Orphans and widows?! How dare you? Are you cursing your son to die early? Huang Zhong is already in his twenties and can start a family. What do you mean by an orphan and a widow? Speaking of orphans and widows, there are countless of them in these villages nearby!"
Yes, at that time, the average life expectancy of Chinese people was not high, and living to fifty or sixty years old was almost enough, so there were many widows and widowers whose husbands and wives had died. However, most of them had children who had started their own families and were supported by their children. So they could be considered widows, but they were definitely not orphans.
This speech undoubtedly won everyone's approval.
Du Shi was unable to retort and was about to start cursing when Huang Zhong pulled her behind him. Huang Zhong whispered to Du Shi that she always suffered a loss, but today she finally let out all her anger.
"Shut up first! Can't you see these people are deliberately coming here to cause trouble?!"
Mrs. Du could only shut up angrily. After all, she was the one who listened to her son the most.
Huang Zhong stepped forward and bowed to everyone before saying, "I think it's because my mother did something wrong to everyone in the past, so everyone has come to seek justice."
Xia Ruzheng, listening from behind, thought Huang Zhong was truly a master of words. He'd even claimed to be seeking justice when others were clearly seeking revenge. His ruthlessness and cruelty were innate, as were his duplicity and even his ability to speak. These were the reasons Huang Zhong could do so many wicked things and yet still rise to prominence.
This time, Xia Ruzheng was determined to tear down all his disguises and destroy all his luck, showing everyone what a despicable person he was! He wanted to shatter his dream of becoming a successful person before it even began!
The crowd began to whisper. Huang Zhong had always acted well, so everyone had a good impression of him. Even when he committed adultery with his cousin, he was easily forgiven because he was a man. Everyone thought that such things were mostly the fault of women, who couldn't stand the loneliness and therefore sought out wild men. This incident really couldn't give Huang Zhong a fatal blow.
"I know my mother has a bad temper, is very impatient, and is not easy on the tongue, but please understand her. Her husband died young, and she left behind several children. If she doesn't act tough, how will she support them? Others will bully her! Everyone knows our family's situation. When we were in power, our already meager family assets were plundered. Our family was poor, and to support us brothers and sisters, she fought and robbed outside. There was no other way. If she didn't fight, she would starve to death! This was all forced by life, and she had no choice. I don't think my mother ever wanted to be a bad person, never wanted to be someone that everyone hated!"
Huang Zhong is truly a silver-tongued man. He spins all the bad things his mother has done over the years as being forced into a situation, explaining how difficult it is for a woman to be. With this ability to make the dead look alive, it's no wonder he had such a good life in his previous life!
Seeing that everyone was about to be persuaded, Xia Ruqian couldn't help but say, "Your mother has it easy, but others have it easy? Your mother is right to bully others and take advantage of them?! Is my father's reputation worthless?!"
Xia Ruzheng, standing next to Xia Ruqian, was infected by her emotions and couldn't help but shout, "Besides my father, there's also me. You've ruined my reputation time and time again. Aren't you trying to force me to death? For the sake of my family's money, you're so despicable! You're so cheap! You've tried everything, and now you're saying your family has had a hard time. Do you still have any shame?!"
Two clear female voices brought everyone back to their senses. "Yes, your mother had it hard, but does that mean it's easy for us? Don't we also get up early and work late to dig for food in the soil? Who has it easy? Why is it as if our money is earned through scraping, that her mother deserves to take advantage of us, that we should just give our money to her with both hands?"
The person who had been invited also knew that the five dollars today would not be so easy to get. Thinking that he was almost taken away, he suddenly felt ashamed and immediately cheered up. One of the aunts immediately said, "That's right, those two girls are right. For a little money, your mother not only gave up her own reputation, but also dragged others into the water. It's too despicable to use other people's reputation to make money! Everyone knows the two girls of the Xia family. They are beautiful and capable. Haven't your family always wanted to marry them? What's the matter? You are thinking of finding ways to ruin their reputation so that your family can take advantage of them? Yes, they are beautiful girls with generous dowries. Are you guys just thinking that such a big pie will fall on your head?"
Immediately, a shrewd-looking young wife next to her continued, "I don't think Mrs. Du is smart. Could it be that this was Huang Zhong's idea, and his mother was the one leading the charge?"
This seemed to be a casual remark, but it accidentally revealed the truth. Everyone thought it made sense. After all, Mrs. Du was not that smart!
Huang Zhong's face flushed with anger. He hadn't expected that his few words would change the tide, only to be disrupted by the Xia sisters. He truly hated them. But now was not the time to be angry. Huang Zhong quickly explained, "This auntie is overthinking things. My mother always does whatever she wants. I have no idea what she'll do, let alone that I ordered her to do it. Besides, how can a mother listen to her son? Only a son should be filial to his mother."
