"With Fengying's experience as a lesson, I will teach my two grandchildren from now on.
"Otherwise, you will spoil them all, and then this family will be completely hopeless!"
Old man Guo has listened to his wife for most of his life and done everything according to her wishes. This is the first time he has said such harsh words to her in public.
How could Mrs. Guo bear this?
Old Man Guo's words were like sharp knives, piercing into Old Lady Guo's heart.
"Guo Liqiang, you are such a scoundrel. I've been married to you for so many years, taking care of my parents-in-law, giving birth to children, and even now that I'm old, I still have to take care of my grandchildren.
"For the past six months, I've had to take care of you, the kids, and Shijie in between.
"I've done so much, and all I get in return is these few words from you?
“Are you still human? Do you have a heart?
"Are you trying to put all the blame for Fengying's mistakes on me?
"Do you think that if I'm kicked out, the Ye family will keep you guys surnamed Guo and support you? Dream on!"
Old Mrs. Guo spoke more and more without thinking, and finally started to insult Old Man Guo's parents.
Old Man Guo had already been feeling very unwell, and now he was almost fainting from the anger of Old Lady Guo.
Guo Shijie quickly pinched Old Man Guo's philtrum and shouted at Old Lady Guo, who was sitting on the ground and cursing non-stop, "Mom, are you going to piss my dad off to death?"
Mrs. Guo finally came to her senses after hearing her son's words. Looking at Old Man Guo with a very bad face and his two grandsons who were crying breathlessly beside him, she finally remembered that she couldn't do this.
Now that Guo Shijie can't move his legs, the family's livelihood depends entirely on old man Guo.
If anything happens to him, this family will find it even more difficult to support itself.
But despite her thoughts, Mrs. Guo showed no remorse. Instead, she turned the tables and pointed at the Ye family, saying, "If anything happens to my old man, I will sue you and make you pay for it!"
If Guo Shijie's legs had not been paralyzed, he would have wanted to kneel down to his mother at this moment.
Now the family is old, young and sick. It is so cold outside and it is getting late.
If she continued to act recklessly like this, her family would be driven out by the Ye family. In such a remote village, they wouldn't even be able to find a shelter under a bridge.
Guo Shijie had no choice but to take the initiative to say to Old Lady Ye: "Auntie Ye, my mother was just shocked by the tragic news that my sister is gone, which is why she is so crazy. I hope you won't take it personally.
"Fengying did something wrong, and it did cause you a lot of trouble and distress.
"As her brother, I apologize to you on behalf of my family.
"After Fengying did something like this, there is no reason to return the dowry. Instead, the betrothal gifts should be returned to your family.
"But you can see that my family is in such a bad state now and I am so useless that I really don't have any money.
"If we are lucky enough to make it to spring, find a place to settle down, and make some money, I will definitely try my best to return the betrothal money to you..."
It has to be said that after hearing what Guo Shijie said, the anger of the Ye family, who were previously angry, mostly dissipated.
Old Madam Ye had long known what kind of character Old Madam Guo was, so she skipped over her and said to Guo Shijie, "You can stay here tonight. Tomorrow I will have the boss hire a carriage to take you back to the city.
"As for the betrothal gift or dowry, don't argue about it.
"Fengying didn't leave behind much stuff, just some clothes and shoes. There's no use for us to keep them. At least you can take them away as a memory. It's better to modify them for the children to wear than to have nothing at all.
"As for the others, they are all gone, so I won't talk about them anymore."
Guo Shijie was very grateful after hearing this and thanked Mrs. Ye repeatedly.
Old Mrs. Guo was not convinced, but since her husband and son were now on the same side, she didn't dare say anything more.
Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Wang Guangping stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go home.
Old Mrs. Ye was very grateful to Wang Guangping for coming to help today.
Originally, she asked Boss Ye to invite the village chief over when he returned, just hoping that Wang Guangping could help serve as a witness to prove that she did not lie about the Guo matter.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guangping took all the responsibility on himself, helping the Ye family reduce a lot of trouble.
So when Old Lady Ye saw him about to leave, she immediately tried to stop him, saying, "Village Chief, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Come back home for dinner tonight!"
"Oh, no, no, my wife should have prepared dinner and is waiting for me at home." Wang Guangping waved his hand and walked out.
Boss Ye also tried to persuade him, saying, "Village Chief, just eat at home. I haven't cooked anything special, but the braised food and other dishes were prepared by Qingtian's mother before.
"We brothers will have a few drinks with you, and then we'll take you back."
"I'm really not being polite with you," Wang Guangping said, waving his hands repeatedly. "Did you forget? Today is the beginning of spring. If I don't go home to eat spring pancakes and spring rolls tonight, my wife will definitely scold me!"
"Oh, that's right!" Third Sister Ye slapped her forehead, "Sister-in-law reminded me before, and I actually forgot."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Village Chief. I'll get you a piece of braised pork to take home and steam it. Then, cut it up and make it into spring rolls."
"That's great. I won't be polite then." Wang Guangping didn't refuse anymore and turned to Mrs. Ye and said, "Your eldest son's wife's cooking skills are really amazing. I've never forgotten it after having tasted it once before."
