It took Old Mrs. Zhang a while to react. She looked at Li Dongyun and the others and stammered, "Li, Li Dongyun, what are you doing here? You and Yun De have nothing to do with each other anymore. Have you forgotten what good things you did back then?"
She was still unaware of what had happened, and her rant only grew more inflammatory. "Back then, you lost our only grandson. The Zhang family didn't even tear you to pieces; that was already being incredibly kind. And now..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuxia couldn't stand it anymore. She called out to the old lady, "Mom, if you don't want to be torn to pieces, you'd better say less."
Then, she lowered her voice and told the old lady, "Xiaopeng's secret has been exposed, and Sister Dongyun already knows about it."
"You said that?" Old Mrs. Zhang's first reaction was to glare fiercely at Zhang Yuxia.
Then he reached out and slapped Zhang Yuxia across the face, pointing at her and cursing, "You brat, I knew you couldn't be trusted, that you'd tell everyone sooner or later. I didn't expect you to actually say it. I... I'll beat you to death..."
The old lady even chased after Zhang Yuxia, wanting to continue hitting her.
Yun Duoduo glanced at the disheveled Zhang Yuxia and spoke coldly, "It has nothing to do with her, old lady. Do you still remember me?"
"You...I..." Looking at Yun Duoduo, Grandma Zhang froze on the spot, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
She was probably mentally prepared, but she didn't expect Yun Duoduo and the others to arrive so quickly.
The old lady's face had turned deathly pale. She stood there, stunned, staring at Yun Duoduo and Li Dongyun, seemingly at a loss for what to do next.
Just then, the man who had been with the old lady last time came out of the yard.
When he came out and saw so many people in the yard, he asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
The old lady finally realized what was happening. She grabbed the man's arm and whispered, "Yunda, the Li family is looking for us, they've come."
This man is Zhang Yunda, the eldest son of the Zhang family, who is also Zhang Xiaopeng's nominal father, but in reality, Zhang Xiaopeng's uncle.
Zhang Yunda's first reaction was also to assume that Zhang Yuxia had said it. He quickly walked over and slapped Zhang Yuxia, saying, "Yuxia, are you even still part of our family? You..."
Zhang Yuxia was slapped again.
But Zhang Yuxia seemed to have gotten used to this. She stood there, motionless, staring blankly at the Zhang family.
Seeing this, Yun Duoduo felt sorry for Zhang Yuxia. The Zhang family really didn't treat Zhang Yuxia as one of their own.
They all beat people without even knowing what happened; it's really too much.
It's a shame that Zhang Yuxia has kept this secret from them all these years; it's really not worth it.
In fact, some family members are really not worth protecting.
In other words, Zhang Yuxia deserved it. Why was she so good to her family, even betraying Li Dongyun, who was truly good to her?
Li Dongyun remained calm, merely glancing at them indifferently before calling out, "Where's the child? Bring the child out and let him come with me, then we'll wipe the slate clean of what happened back then, otherwise..."
Before Li Dongyun could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted her, "Don't even think about it. Why should you have the child?"
“I have raised this child with great difficulty all these years. He is surnamed Zhang, so why should he follow your Li family?”
The old lady recovered, her complexion returned to normal, and her attitude became extremely assertive.
She even pointed at Li Dongyun and said smugly, "Besides, let me tell you, even if I bring the child to you, you can't take him away. He won't recognize you as his mother at all."
Seeing the smug look on Old Mrs. Zhang's face, Li Dongyun shook her head. She had been able to endure it for so many years before, but now she couldn't bear it for even a day.
The Zhang family is utterly shameless. The way she said it makes it sound like she deliberately abandoned the child in the first place.
Liu Dongyun's eyes reddened with anger at Old Mrs. Zhang's words. "If it weren't for your heartless idea back then, my child wouldn't need you to raise him with such hardship. I could have raised him myself."
This time, Li Dongyun was going all out. With red eyes, she shouted at Old Mrs. Zhang as if she were about to fight to the death, "In short, let me tell you, Old Mrs. Zhang, if you don't hand over the child today, I will do everything in my power to bankrupt your Zhang family. Do you believe me?"
"I..." Old Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Dongyun and remained silent for a while, feeling a little scared.
She knew very well that if Li Dongyun really made a scene, it would be the Zhang family who would suffer.
In previous years, the Zhang family and the Li family could be considered evenly matched, but since the death of the Zhang family patriarch due to illness a few years ago, the Zhang family can no longer compare with the Li family.
In recent years, the Li family has been making progress, which is good, but the Zhang family has been regressing. The two families are no longer in the same social class.
Moreover, the current Li Dongyun is completely different from the Li Dongyun of the past.
In the past, Li Dongyun was naive, easily influenced, and had a serious case of being blinded by love. For Zhang Yunde, she disregarded everything, even being bullied by Old Mrs. Zhang, but she didn't care.
But nowadays, Li Dongyun looks like a strong woman, and she's not someone you want to offend.
Just as Li Dongyun and Granny Zhang were confronting each other, a chubby boy suddenly rushed out from the backyard.
The chubby boy looked furious and rushed over, shouting, "Whoever dares to bully my grandma, I'll beat her to death!"
The chubby boy, like a little train, crashed straight into Li Dongyun.
Judging by the way they were going to ram someone to their death.
Fortunately, Yun Duoduo grabbed the chubby boy, preventing Li Dongyun from getting hurt.
After Yun Duoduo saw the chubby boy's face clearly, she said to Li Dongyun, "Auntie, this is Zhang Xiaopeng, he should be your baby."
Yun Duoduo had seen Zhang Xiaopeng before because of the fight between him and Yan Dongdong, so she was the only one who could recognize him.
Upon hearing this, Li Dongyun stared at the chubby boy for a long, long time.
Only when her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face did she manage to call out to the chubby boy, her lips trembling, "Baby, my baby..."
At this moment, no one who has never been a mother can understand Li Dongyun's feelings.
The chubby boy seemed shocked by Li Dongyun's reaction. He stopped shouting threats and just frowned at Li Dongyun, asking, "Who are you? Did you just bully my grandma?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately came over, wanting to urge the child on, "Yes, it was she who bullied you just now..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Yuxia came over and interrupted the old lady, "Mom, have some decency. This is such a young child. If you teach him like this, you will ruin his life."
Although she knew that Zhang Yuxia hadn't revealed the information, Old Mrs. Zhang still vented her anger on Zhang Yuxia.
