Grandma Fang sat on the ground, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, but Fang Qingmu and Fang Mulin acted as if they hadn't heard a thing and continued fighting as if nothing had happened.
Even the other two brothers acted as if they hadn't heard anything, coldly watching this farce unfold.
Grandma Fang cried for a long time, but seeing that her two sons were still fighting like mortal enemies, she finally blamed everything on Jiang Tangtang.
With snot and tears streaming down her face, she pointed at Jiang Tangtang and cursed, "You really are something! You deliberately stirred up trouble in our Fang family, causing our brothers to fall out and become like enemies. Are you happy now?"
Jiang Tangtang was utterly baffled. What kind of divine logic was this?
She had to argue with that stupid old lady today. "It's true what they say: 'When people are poor, they blame the foundation; when the house leaks, they blame the sparse latticework.' Your Fang family is all selfish and self-serving. What does your fuss have to do with me?"
Grandma Fang glared at Jiang Tangtang, spitting as she said, "It's all because of you, you little vixen! If it weren't for you causing trouble, how could things have turned out like this? You stopped Sanlang from going to save your cousin, and you deliberately ostracized our Fang family. You even went hunting without inviting our family. You have a heart of a snake and you deserve to die a horrible death!"
"Grandma Fang, are you out of your mind? Don't you have any idea what kind of people your own family members are? Look at these two brothers fighting so fiercely, have any of your sons, grandsons, or wives stepped in to separate them?"
Grandma Fang naturally knew that her family members had some problems, but she refused to admit it. Her trembling, chapped lips pointed at Jiang Tangtang and said, "You...you little vixen..."
She wanted to say that Jiang Tangtang used sorcery to deliberately harm the Fang family.
But because he hadn't had water for so long and had just caused a scene, his throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire. Before he could even shout out what he wanted to say, Jiang Tangtang beat him to it.
"Besides, with that bunch of good-for-nothings you gave birth to, would they dare to go hunting if I asked them to?"
Jiang Tangtang had just finished a bowl of "divine tofu," and now, unusually, she didn't mind wasting her saliva. Pointing at Fang's sons, she said, "Do you know how they became such cowards? It's all because of you. You taught them to be selfish and self-serving from a young age. How can you expect them to grow up to be upright and decent people?"
Grandma Fang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was unwilling to admit it, but many past events kept popping into her head uncontrollably.
When her sons were young, she taught them not to meddle in other people's business and that the most important thing for a person is to protect themselves.
When her eldest son grew up and it was time for him to get married, she taught him to scheme to make the Tian family girl fall into the water. Because the two had been intimate, the Tian family did not ask for a single copper coin in betrothal gifts and married their daughter to the Fang family.
After her second son grew up, she used the same method to teach him how to make other girls fall head over heels for him and get her pregnant.
In the end, not only did he marry Wang Qiuju without spending a single copper coin, but the Wang family also gave a large dowry in order to maintain their reputation.
After Wang Qiuju gave birth, she taught her grandchildren to go to their maternal grandmother's house and plead poverty, taking things home with them.
She didn't put much effort into teaching her third and fourth sons, but they learned by example and didn't need her to teach them. They never let themselves suffer.
When they went out to work, they were always able to take shortcuts and get the most benefits with the least effort. In terms of finding wives, they were even better than their two older brothers.
In particular, she was extremely satisfied with Lu Cuilan, the wife her fourth brother found for her. Even before they were married, she was always moving things from her parents' home to her husband's home.
Although she only had one daughter after getting married, she found a good job in the city, and the Fang family became one of the most prominent families in Dawan Village...
She used to think she was very capable, raising four sons and marrying their daughters-in-law without spending a single copper coin on betrothal gifts. No one in the village could compare to her.
Looking back now, although his family got a huge advantage, his sons were indeed a bit cowardly...
Was she really wrong?
No, she did nothing wrong.
Grandma Fang shook her head violently. The old man had passed away long ago. If it weren't for her resourcefulness, how could she have raised several sons and even helped them all get married?
That's her skill. So what if her son is a coward? At least he's alive.
Wasn't it the son of the Chen family who stood up for others on the way to escape famine and was killed by the refugees who came to him?
He played the hero, making everyone praise him. But what good are a few kind words when he's already dead?
Besides, after a while, who will remember him?
The poor ones are his wife, his mother, and all his children. Without the pillar of the family, the Chen family is doomed for life.
She did nothing wrong.
Not only did Old Mrs. Fang think about it, but she also cried out her thoughts.
Her words have certainly provoked public outrage.
Whenever they encountered danger on the road, the Fang family would hide and let other families face the danger.
During their escape from famine, many conflicts occurred. In addition to the Chen family's son dying on the spot, several other villagers also died of illness because they were injured at the time and did not see a doctor.
Because the Fang family always hid in the back, apart from Fang Mingming being kidnapped, no one in the Fang family has been injured so far.
She got the benefits and then called the people who protected them fools. Who wouldn't be angry?
"Village chief, drive the Fang family away immediately! Don't let them stay in our village!"
"Yes, drive this ungrateful family away. Every time we encounter refugees who try to rob us, they don't lift a finger, while we stand in front of them and they get the benefits but aren't grateful. They even think we're stupid. There's no way they can bully people like this."
"Keeping such selfish people in the village will only cause trouble for the village sooner or later. We should drive their whole family away."
...
Seeing the villagers chattering and trying to drive their family away, Fang Qingmu and his brother finally stopped fighting and, together with the rest of the Fang family, shouted at the villagers, "You can't drive us away! This mountain isn't yours, what right do you have to drive us away? What right do you have to drive us away?"
Fang Mulin even threatened, "If you drive us away, I will tell the Western Rong bandits your route."
Liu Chengfeng had just returned with his men after fetching water when he heard Fang Mulin's threats. He walked over angrily, grabbed Fang Mulin, and glared at him, saying, "What the hell did you say? Say it again, or I'll kill you!"
"Brother Liu, forget it, it's not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like that." Seeing that Liu Chengfeng didn't seem to be joking, Old Man Lu quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "He's just all bark and no bite, he wouldn't dare to actually report us."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Jiang Tangtang beside him, and seeing that she didn't seem to want him to kill anyone, he threw Fang Mulin hard to the ground.
He looked at the Fang family members and warned, "Get the hell away from me and don't hang around in front of your sister-in-law again. If Grandpa sees you making your sister-in-law unhappy again, I'll kill you all with one knife."
Fang Mulin was thrown to the ground like a rag doll, and no one in the Fang family dared to utter a sound.
They could tell that Liu Chengfeng was ruthless; if they dared to cause trouble again, he would really kill them.
Grandma Fang pulled her sons aside and quickly hid, while Lu Cuilan looked at Grandpa Lu with expectant eyes.
The older sister just spoke up for her husband; he still cares about her, doesn't he?
