After saying that, Old Lady Zhou glared at Li Zhaodi viciously.
Facing Mrs. Zhou's accusations and the shocking scars, Director Fang couldn't help but frown. He looked at Li Zhaodi with suspicion and asked in disbelief:
"Li Zhaodi, did you really hit him?"
Speaking of Li Zhaodi, she's a notorious coward! Anyone with eyes could see that! How could she have the guts to attack Old Lady Zhou? Old Lady Zhou is a well-known shrew here!
However, what was unexpected was that in the face of everyone's questioning gazes, Li Zhaodi nodded without hesitation.
Her already dark and thin face was now expressionless, as if covered with a layer of frost, which made people feel a little scared.
Even though Li Zhaodi had only been with everyone for a short time, it was clear to everyone that she was completely controlled by her evil mother-in-law. She was the type who would never dare to go west if told to go east, and would never chase a chicken if told to beat a dog.
So, how could such a submissive daughter-in-law suddenly attack her mother-in-law? There must be some unknown reason.
But no matter how others questioned her, Li Zhaodi always kept her lips tightly shut, refusing to utter a single word. Thus, even if someone wanted to help her, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
In fact, this had happened several times in the past. Director Fang couldn't bear to see Li Zhaodi being bullied, so he took the initiative to go to her house to do ideological work.
I originally wanted to enlighten her, let her learn to resist, and stop allowing her to be bullied by her mother-in-law.
But Li Zhaodi was so good that not only did she not appreciate it, but she also covered up for her evil mother-in-law everywhere. This made Director Fang very angry. He really felt like he was disappointed in his son!
But, the proper procedures still needed to be followed. No matter what, I couldn't just let this go like this...
"Li Zhaodi, why did you hit your mother-in-law?"
Someone asked loudly, his voice full of surprise and confusion.
"Humph! Because she deserves a beating!"
This time, Li Zhaodi did not choose to remain silent as she did in the past. She raised her head and stared at the astonished old woman in front of her, her eyes burning with anger.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene and gathered around to figure out what had happened. Director Fang, who was standing nearby, stamped his feet anxiously.
"Hey, Li Zhaodi, please explain clearly! What's going on? You're so hesitant, it's really driving me crazy!"
At this time, a woman nearby couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Old Mrs. Zhou is actually going to sell her granddaughter Xiaocao!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Director Fang turned to look at Old Mrs. Zhou, frowned, and asked:
"Mrs. Zhou, I heard that your son, Zhou Aiguo, is now a battalion commander! He earns quite a bit of money every month. Your family should be living a comfortable life. How could he do something so illegal?"
Hearing Director Fang's words, Mrs. Zhou showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but she still argued with a specious argument:
"I'm Zhou Aiguo's biological mother, and Xiaocao's biological grandmother! I'm just arranging a marriage for her. How can this be considered illegal?"
However, Zhang Zhaodi, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly spoke timidly:
"You...you're not just getting engaged, you've clearly accepted a large sum of money!"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately got angry and yelled:
"So what if I take their money? Which family doesn't take a gift when marrying off their daughter? What I take is the gift money!"
Director Fang looked at Old Lady Zhou with disdain:
"Your granddaughter is only three years old, and you've already arranged a marriage for her. This is against the will of a woman. To say you're breaking the law is the least of your crimes. More seriously, you're trafficking in people."
Director Fang was obviously a worldly-wise man, and he didn't let the old lady take advantage of any loopholes.
However, facing the accusations and doubts from everyone, Mrs. Zhou showed no fear at all.
I saw her quickly get up from the ground, support the ground with her hands, and then quickly stand up straight.
Then, she put her hands on her hips, raised her head and chest like an angry fighting cock, and roared at the top of her voice:
"So what? Our family affairs are none of your business! You're all just like those idle gossips, fussing over nothing! You'd better take care of your own mess at home!"
After hearing this, Director Fang on the side became so angry that his face turned blue, his lips trembled slightly, and his teeth chattered.
She originally wanted to continue arguing with Old Lady Zhou and teach this ignorant old woman a lesson.
But just when she was about to speak, the image of Li Zhaodi's stubborn attitude suddenly flashed through her mind. She was like a balloon that had been ruthlessly popped. She deflated instantly and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
If Li Zhaodi didn't speak out, no matter who came to ask about this matter, it would probably be like the smoke coming out of the locomotive - a waste of effort.
But this time the situation was obviously different. When Li Zhaodi heard that Old Mrs. Zhou actually justified and took it for granted that she was selling her granddaughter for money, she felt like she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Then, an uncontrollable anger surged in her heart, causing her originally gentle eyes to turn red.
