Wang Lao Er's words made Wang Xiaoju's face turn pale and then red, and she wanted to get angry but couldn't.
She had indeed caused a lot of trouble before, but she couldn't let her brother and sister-in-law beat her.
Wang Xiaoju stomped her feet, turned her face away, and stubbornly said, "I don't care, you hit me anyway, I won't accept it!"
At this moment, everyone in the village gathered around the Wang siblings, saying all sorts of things.
Someone advised Wang Xiaoju: "It's just a minor squabble between siblings, nothing serious, it'll pass. Just accept the cabinet your brother is giving you now."
Some people also criticized the Wang brothers: "Do you know that Xiaoju cried for a long time after she went back? What kind of brothers are you? You used to follow along and messed around, but now that something has happened, you beat your sister up."
The Wang brothers argued and protested their innocence, saying, "You've wronged me! Xiaoju won't go back on her own, what can we do?"
Last summer, Wang Xiaoju led a group of people into the village to seize grain. Everyone knows that she was beaten up by Village Chief Jiang and almost divorced Xu Genbao.
At that time, Wang Xiaoju was beaten in the village, and when she went back to her parents' home, she was beaten again, leaving her with a bruised and swollen face and her hair pulled out.
After being beaten twice, although she and Xu Genbao did not divorce, she was unable to hold her head high and speak to each other in the village for more than half a year.
It was only this year, when she and Xu Genbao discovered Xu Xiaogu's whereabouts in the city and made a great contribution by returning fifty taels of silver to the village, that she had the face to come back.
For Wang Xiaoju, who is very concerned about her image and competitive, this anger was truly hard to let go.
When Liu and Xu Genbao heard that the Wang brothers had arrived, they hurried over as well.
But their words had no effect on Wang Xiaoju; instead, she was met with the reply, "This is a matter for the Wang family, it's none of your business!"
Liu said urgently, "Xiaoju, although your surname is Wang, this is a matter for the Wang family. But now that you've married into the Xu family, you're a member of the Xu family."
Don't go too far with your brothers from your maternal family. Please invite them in and sit down. Let's talk things out calmly!
Xu Genbao stood to the side, and he was naturally angry when the humiliation of being kicked out of the Wang family was mentioned.
But he wasn't as fiery as Xiaoju. So much time has passed, and he realizes he was immature back then.
It would be good if the conflict could be resolved, but we can't let things escalate further and embarrass my two brothers-in-law, otherwise things will be even more difficult to handle later.
"Xiaoju, since your older brothers have brought the cabinet, let's go back first," Xu Genbao said, pulling Wang Xiaoju aside to tell her to behave herself.
Wang Xiaoju was furious and wouldn't listen to anyone. When she saw that Xu Genbao wasn't speaking up for her but instead advising her to be patient, she added fuel to the fire. She pushed Xu Genbao away and then pushed the cart to chase him away, as if she wanted to break ties with her family.
Seeing that the matter was getting out of hand, some people quickly went to find someone who could keep things in check.
Jiang Zhi had already returned home and was counting the number of children in the village with Xia Xiucai.
Whether the class assignments are based on age or academic progress, the noise outside grew louder and louder.
Qin rushed in, startled: "Oh dear, sister-in-law, hurry and go see her! Wang Xiaoju is acting crazy, no one can stop her, even Genbao has been arrested!"
Jiang Zhi frowned and said with a wry smile, "What's wrong with her now? Doesn't she feel ashamed at all?"
When Jiang Zhi heard that it was the Wang brothers who came to see Wang Xiaoju, she didn't want to get involved immediately. No outsider could persuade her about such a thing.
Moreover, there was a grudge between Jiang Zhi and the Wang brothers.
On the mountain path, Errui was driven to the brink of murder with a knife, and Li Laoshi chased after him like a teddy dog, throwing stones at him. The culprit was Wang Xiaoju, who instigated the two brothers to cause trouble.
Although the Wang brothers were not exactly benevolent people, their reputation for dominating the town owes a debt to their younger sister.
Here, Wang Xiaoju is a spoiled and willful youngest daughter who is extremely pampered.
In modern times, she would be a rebellious young woman, and then become a tattooed gangster.
If she hadn't been beaten up by herself in the village and kicked out by her own family, forcing Wang Xiaoju into a corner by both sides, she would have remained a cunning and wicked person.
Fortunately, in order to give her son a better life and to regain her dignity, Wang Xiaoju was determined to endure hardship. She also had opportunities to use her intelligence and talents in the village, which unexpectedly helped her straighten out her crooked sapling.
If anything goes wrong, this young delinquent will transform into a villain in black clothes and smoky makeup, and whoever messes with her will be in trouble.
Now Qin says that Wang Xiaoju is acting crazy again. That little delinquent girl has a temper and is fighting with her brother and sister-in-law to the point where she can't back down. When she calms down, she will definitely be secretly sad and upset in the middle of the night.
Jiang Zhi squeezed into the crowd and the first thing she saw was two large red cabinets.
It must be admitted that the cabinet is well-made, with a bright red lacquer finish, and is the best dowry that a bride's family would give her when she gets married. However, the two muddy footprints left on the cabinet are quite glaring.
Then look at the crazed Wang Xiaoju, who was held immobile by Xu Genbao, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they might roll down at any moment.
But with its chin held high, it stubbornly gazed at the sky, looking defiant and unruly.
As soon as Jiang Zhi appeared, everyone looked over.
Jiang Zhi said, "What are you all doing? What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"
Wang Xiaoju cried out with tears in her eyes, "Aunt Jiang, I'm not convinced!"
Old Wang also came over: "Village Chief Jiang, we were sorry for what we did to you before. Please help us persuade Xiaoju. We sincerely brought the cabinet to her."
At this moment, Wang Xiaoju's unreasonable and domineering attitude contrasted sharply with Wang Laoda's sincere apology.
Jiang Zhi cursed inwardly: "Xiao Ju, you're so naive. Do you think siblings can just fall out and disappear like that?"
Even if it's not your brother who has doted on you for twenty years, you should still leave yourself some room to maneuver, even if it's just an acquaintance.
In other people's eyes, your stubbornness is just taking advantage of the fact that the other person is your brother and deliberately throwing a tantrum.
Liu kept trying to persuade them: "Brothers and sisters, there is only this life and no next life. What's done is done. No matter how great the hatred is, we are still family."
Everyone present was talking, and Jiang Zhi felt like she had fallen into a frog pond, surrounded by annoying croaking sounds.
Now that she is pregnant, Ms. Pi dares not jump around anymore. She carefully protects her flat belly and hides behind the crowd, anxiously waiting.
Amidst the conflicting opinions, Wang Xiaoju was like a bloated toad, getting angrier the more it was hit, almost oozing white fluid.
Jiang Zhi told Xu Genbao to let go, then wiped away Wang Xiaoju's tears and said gently, "Once you've calmed down, go back and boil some water. Your brother and the others haven't come for several years. Since you're the host, act like a guest. Don't be so arrogant and make yourself a laughingstock!"
Wang Xiaoju remained silent.
Jiang Zhi knew she was capable of understanding, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
After comforting Wang Xiaoju, Jiang Zhi turned to the Wang brothers and said, "Since it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. You two push the cabinet to Xiaoju's house first. Genbao, what are you standing there for? Help out!"
Xu Genbao rushed over to help, and the Wang brothers quickly pushed the large cabinet towards their sister's new home, chatting with their brother-in-law as they did so: "We didn't even know where your house was built until we were here..."
Seeing this harmonious scene, the other villagers dispersed with smiles.
