Xiao Weiguo slowly took a small step back, deliberately creating some distance between himself and Widow Liu.
He stood with his hands firmly behind his back, his eyes sharp as he scrutinized the somewhat shrewish widow Liu before him, and asked with great interest.
"Sister-in-law Liu, your relationship with Uncle Wang is rather complicated and unclear! Now you've actually come here to make a scene and cause trouble. Aren't you worried at all that others will point fingers and gossip about you?"
The widow Liu was blocking the doorway, displaying an arrogant and unyielding attitude, and loudly responding without any restraint.
"What do you mean by 'can't explain it clearly'? Let me tell you plainly, that damned old man slept with me a long time ago! Who in our village doesn't know that?"
Since he slept with me, he's my man!
So, after his death, what rightfully belonged to him should naturally become mine!
Just then, Wang Jun, who had been kicked to the ground by Jiao Bai and then curled up in the corner like a toad, finally slowly came to his senses.
He endured the pain and struggled to his feet from the cold ground.
When he heard his own mother say such shameless things in front of so many people, Wang Jun's face turned bright red instantly, like a ripe apple.
Immediately afterwards, his face turned as gloomy as the sky before a storm, as black as the bottom of a pot.
Before Xiao Weiguo could continue asking questions, Wang Jun rushed over like an arrow, taking three steps at a time.
In the blink of an eye, he was already beside his mother, and without hesitation, he reached out a hand and grabbed her arm tightly, while roaring in a low voice.
"Mother! What nonsense are you spouting? Although our family is struggling financially, we're not so desperate as to starve! How could you covet that money from a dead person? Hurry up and come home with me!"
Before he finished speaking, he exerted force on his hand and tried to drag Widow Liu's body towards the door.
However, Widow Liu seemed determined at this moment, ignoring her son's words.
She gripped the door frame of the brigade headquarters tightly with her other hand, refusing to let go no matter how hard Wang Jun pulled.
Not only that, her mouth was also busy, constantly shouting and cursing.
"You heartless little bastard! I work so shamelessly and disregard my dignity every day, all so that you two brothers can have a better life! But what do you two do? You're both so useless! If you were even a little bit capable, I wouldn't have to suffer like this!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the noisy crowd. The voice sounded light and airy, but the words it contained were like a sharp knife that pierced straight into people's hearts.
"Widow Liu, you're not suffering at all. The one who's really suffering is probably them! You just hummed a couple of times and easily made money."
These words were utterly insidious and extremely sarcastic, and the speaker made no attempt to conceal them, uttering them so bluntly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in laughter.
Ma Sulan and Li Sanxiu, in particular, laughed the most unrestrainedly, as if they were about to lift the roof off.
"That's right! If that wanton woman just moans a little, those men's belts will probably come undone!"
At that moment, Wang Jun, who was already standing outside the door, happened to hear the laughter of the people in the room.
His face was flushed red with anger, as if it could bleed.
These people are so brazenly mocking my mother; it's outrageous!
Wang Jun could no longer contain his anger. He used all his strength to pull hard and finally managed to drag his mother out of the house.
Then he turned around, pointed at the group of people in the room, his eyes wide open.
His eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His gaze was like a raging fire, filled with boundless rage.
He then opened his throat and shouted angrily.
"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, just you wait! I'll take care of every single one of you one day!"
After shouting those words, Wang Jun quickly bent down, deftly picked up Widow Liu and carried her on his back, then strode away towards home without looking back.
Xiao Weiguo stood quietly in place, his gaze following the receding figures of the mother and son, and he couldn't help but ponder to himself.
Although Wang Jun is a complete scoundrel, surprisingly, he does have some sense of shame in certain matters.
However, in stark contrast to him was his mother, Widow Liu.
This woman had long since sunk to an incurable state, and her actions were truly lamentable.
But upon closer reflection, is all of this really solely her fault?
After all, she was widowed at a young age and was so outstanding and beautiful.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to maintain one's chastity.
Furthermore, it was undoubtedly incredibly difficult for her to raise two good-for-nothing sons to adulthood on her own with her frail body.
When a person is in dire straits and has nowhere else to turn, it seems inevitable that they will do something outrageous.
Just as Xiao Weiguo was lost in thought, a question suddenly flashed through his mind.
