Jiang Qiao was displeased and started yelling at the group, "Are all the members of the Wang family dead? If not, then I'll step forward."
"Wang Zhongquan, you bastard, come out here! Do you really think the Ning family has no one to back you up? Are you trying to bully our Ning family's matriarch because she has no one to protect her?"
Jiang Qiao didn't recognize the people in the courtyard, nor did she know if they were from the Wang family. Things had already escalated to this point, yet the Wang family still hadn't come out to stop it. They were clearly not afraid of things getting out of hand, so why should she care? If they wanted to make a scene, they should all make a scene together.
Jiang Qiao's words displeased the people in the courtyard, especially the men. It's hard for any man to stand being told by a woman that everyone is dead. Besides, they didn't know how the old ladies were doing, so it would be a lie to say they weren't worried.
"Damn it, who are you calling dead? Do you really think the Wang family is easy to bully? You little wench, daring to come to our house and cause trouble, you really need to be taught a lesson. Today, let your grandfather teach you a lesson—"
Just that one sentence was enough to make even Ning Hao and Fu Lin lose their tempers, let alone Jiang Qiao. Ning Hao and Fu Lin rushed over at the same time, but they were still no match for Jiang Qiao's speed.
"You son of a bitch, your mouth stinks! Did you grow up eating manure? Go home and brush your teeth properly!"
Jiang Qiao kicked a pebble off the ground, aiming it at the man's face. The man was unaware that Jiang Qiao would do such a thing.
Caught off guard, a pebble hit him and almost broke his teeth. He tried to speak but couldn't. He reached out to hit someone, but he couldn't move.
The others were stunned by the man's grotesque appearance and didn't know what to do next.
When Ning Hao and Fu Lin saw that the man had stopped moving, they exchanged a smile.
"Now you know how formidable my wife is, right? Did you really think our family was so easy to bully?"
My aunt has suffered so much bullying from your Wang family over the years, and we haven't bothered with it. Do you think the Ning family is easy to mess with?
The neighbors outside also gathered around to watch the commotion, especially when Jiang Qiao silenced the man with a pebble, and they couldn't help but cheer.
“They should have been taught a lesson long ago. What kind of people are they? Just because they have a lot of family members, they bully us neighbors. Young lady, you've finally given us a chance to vent our anger.”
Fu Lin clicked his tongue twice and said, "Listen to this, this is what other people say about the Wang family. If you didn't know better, you'd think your family were bullies. If I didn't take you out for a walk, I'd feel bad for the people you bullied."
When the people outside heard Fu Lin's suggestion, they actually cheered, "I think it's a good idea, that's how it should be done."
One sentence silenced the man instantly; if they were used as an example, they would be in real trouble.
Even if they have a powerful relative, so what? If that person refuses to associate with them because of this, wouldn't they lose everything? They can all make their own calculations, but the Wang family members are even more cunning.
The man was unwilling to confront Jiang Qiao and the others head-on, but the woman beside him was not happy about it. Why? Because the one who couldn't move was her man.
The woman snapped out of her daze and charged at Jiang Qiao, brandishing her claws and yelling, "I'll tear you apart, you bitch—"
Unfortunately, before the other party could even get close to Jiang Qiao, Fu Lin kicked him to the ground.
"Want a fight? Come on, let's see if I'm afraid of you. I was worried you'd make things difficult for my brothers when I came here, and sure enough, the Wang family lives up to their reputation. Fine, if you're not convinced, come on up, let's have a one-on-one fight!"
Ning Hao glanced at the group of people, then shouted into the house, "Listen up, you people inside! My aunt has nothing to do with your family anymore. If you dare to make things difficult for her again, this isn't over." The group of people hiding inside came out. When Jiang Qiao saw the old lady at the head of the group, she didn't hesitate to think that this must be Wang Zhongquan's mother.
Seeing the other party's fierce look, she felt sorry for Ning Ailin. She thought, "Back then, I was blind to both my eyes and my heart. Just based on this mother-in-law's appearance, I should have seriously considered this marriage. A person like that is definitely not easy to get along with."
Looking at Wang Zhongquan and Ning Ailin's child following behind the old lady, Jiang Qiao wanted to turn back. She didn't want to look at any of them a second time.
These children were completely indifferent when their own mother was beaten like that by her family members. Their parents are divorced, yet they don't choose to live with their mother.
Do you even know how cold-blooded these kids are, preferring to follow a beggar mother to an official father?
The old lady's tone was wicked as soon as she came out.
“Young lady of the Ning family, you just said that Ning Ailin has nothing to do with our Wang family anymore. Is it appropriate for you to come knocking on our door like this?”
I know you're a celebrity, but do you think it's right to bully ordinary people like us just because you're famous?
I think we should go and have a serious talk with your leaders about this. People who bully others by abusing their power are the kind of people who were high-ranking officials and nobles before liberation.
Now that we're liberated, we won't tolerate you running wild like this anymore.
Oh, right. I heard the Gu family are landlords. No wonder, they haven't changed their landlord ways at all over the years.
"If you want to make changes, then you should be the one doing the changes. Do you really think that just because you did a good deed, you can do whatever you want? Are you really taking advantage of the fact that the Wang family has no one to rely on?"
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but smile after hearing the old lady's words.
"No wonder Ning Ailin has been bullied by you for so many years. I've really rarely seen a mother-in-law as sharp-tongued as you, especially your ability to distort the truth. I admire you."
"It's a waste of your talents to have you staying home and working around the stove. You should be on the front lines. If the Japanese heard you say that, they'd probably be back already, don't you think?"
The people around her joined in the jeering, "Oh dear, let her go fight the Japanese? Forget it! She's just a bully at home, acting like a scoundrel to us. When the Japanese came, she ran faster than anyone else. Expecting her to do anything? We'll be lucky if she doesn't become a traitor."
The old lady spat fiercely at the outside, "You ungrateful wretches, if you have the guts, stand up and face me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
At this moment, Ning Ailin knelt on the ground, her spirit shattered. "Mother, please let me take the children with me. I won't delay your son's remarriage. I will raise the children well—"
The old lady raised her eyebrows and said, "Keep dreaming. This is all the blood of the Wang family. What does it have to do with you? The child is willing. Get out of here now. You have no right to speak in this house."
Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, went over and picked up Ning Ailin, then looked at the children behind the old lady.
To be honest, the eldest brother is older than Jiang Qiao, and he's about to get married, yet he doesn't act like a man at all. I don't know what kind of spell the old lady cast on these people; they've changed so much in just a few years.
