Jiang Yi and the others understood this principle, but how to implement it specifically depended on Yang Lan herself.
The man was not careful, and the two of them slowly walked home with the turtle. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, someone hurriedly called out, "Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, someone from your aunt's house is causing trouble. You should go and see what's going on."
Jiang Yi recognized him as his uncle's neighbor. "Uncle Li, do you know what happened?"
Uncle Li wiped the sweat from his forehead; he had jogged all the way here. "It's your cousin's ex-husband's family; they're making a scene at the gate."
That family is quick-witted and will say anything; you should go and check on them.
They were all neighbors, and none of the three members of the Yang family were particularly formidable. They were at a disadvantage as soon as they faced each other. As neighbors, they didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so they thought they would come over and inform Jiang Yi.
Hua Xiangyun said, "Then you should go and take a look quickly, so that your family doesn't suffer any losses."
Jiang Yi handed the turtle in his hand to Hua Xiangyun, "Then you go home first, I'll go take a look."
Hua Xiangyun thought for a moment, then turned and went into her house. She came out again soon after. If she didn't know, that would be fine, but since she did know, she decided to go and check on her.
"Slow down. If a conflict breaks out, remember to stay far away," Tian Guihua urged from behind.
"Okay," Hua Xiangyun waved her hand and ran forward without looking back.
If a conflict were to break out, she wouldn't be able to stay out of it.
However, if that were to happen, it's uncertain who would ultimately suffer the consequences.
Xie Dacheng and his family blocked the Yang family's door. He had gone to plead with them several times, but the Yang family was too uncooperative. So he decided to make things look bad.
"What kind of daughter-in-law is like him? She runs back to her parents' home after every argument, and now she won't even let us see my eldest grandson!" Old Mrs. Xie sat at the door, pounding her chest and kicking her feet, almost rolling on the ground in a rage.
"Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to break the bicycle before. I don't know what happened. But you insist on blaming me, so I'll accept it."
"You divorced my brother over such a trivial matter. Now our whole family has come here sincerely to apologize to you. We beg you to let my parents see the child so that my brother can be reunited with his son." Xie Xiaocheng's legs were still unsteady, so he leaned against the front door.
He'd had enough of his older brother's cooking these past few days; he figured even the pigs in the production team were eating better than his family.
Because of their injuries, the whole family had to take leave, so naturally they didn't receive their wages.
Thinking about the deducted receipts and wages, and the family still having to pay medical expenses, one can tell how hard these days have been.
But I found out that the Yang family has been doing quite well these days.
Especially now that Jiang Yi is helping out, I've heard that the smell of meat wafts out of the Yang family's house every few days.
Today, I saw that the Yang family members were all very well-fed and oily, and even his ex-sister-in-law looked a lot fatter.
He didn't even consider that it's normal for women in postpartum confinement to need more nourishment; he just stared at this family and felt a pang of jealousy.
Living a good life behind their backs, the divorce might just be an excuse, a way of saying she doesn't want to take care of their whole family.
Jiang Yin said, "Stop wailing here. Our two families have nothing to do with each other anymore. Should I take out the documents you wrote before and have someone judge them?"
"What's the use of bringing this up now? Every family makes mistakes." Old Mrs. Xie had a plan before she came. She was determined to bring her daughter-in-law and grandson back today no matter what.
By the way, Yang Lan is currently in her postpartum period, so she must have prepared a lot of things, which is perfect for the whole family to replenish their bodies.
Greed was practically overflowing in her eyes. Jiang Yin didn't want to pay him any attention and said directly to Xie Dacheng, "There's no way you and my daughter can be together. Take your parents back with you, or I won't hesitate to sue you."
“Mother-in-law, you’re being too formal. I’m the child’s father, so what’s wrong with me wanting to see him?”
Besides, this matter is up to Yang Lan to decide. Let her come out and tell us how to handle the child's future.
Xie Dacheng was also angry when he saw that Yang Lan hadn't come out for so long. He didn't believe that she hadn't heard such a commotion outside while hiding in her room.
Today, he brought his family to Yang Lan's door, wanting her to give him an explanation. The Xie family's descendants will never be given to outsiders.
When the time comes, mothers will be reluctant to part with their children and will have no choice but to obediently go back with them.
Mother is right. Since they don't appreciate our kindness, then we shouldn't give them any leeway.
“That day, she did nothing at our house and even framed my brother. I didn’t hold it against her, so what else does she want?”
Hearing these distorted facts, Yang Guoqing was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but he held back. He was an old man with frail bones and could never beat this family.
Besides, with all their injuries, if they stay at their house, it will cause even more trouble later.
"What you're saying is really funny," Yang Lan finally couldn't help but push open the door and walk out. "What kind of life have I been living in your house? Why don't you ask your neighbors to tell you?"
I work during the day, and after work I still have to take care of your family, cooking and doing laundry. What haven't I neglected?
And don't mention the child to me. Back then, for some food, your brother was ruthless and tampered with my bicycle, almost killing us both. Why didn't you mention the child then?
Furthermore, what has your family done for me since I became pregnant? It seems like you haven't even eaten a single piece of meat, yet you have the nerve to mention the child to me here.
Look at the miserable state your family is in now, and now you remember me?
Since this family has no shame, Yang Lan doesn't mind helping them tear each other apart.
"Look at how a daughter-in-law speaks to her elders!" Old Mrs. Xie pointed at Yang Lan and scolded, "Our whole family is injured, and you don't even go to see them. What a fine upbringing the Yang family has."
"Where do you get the audacity?" Jiang Yin pulled her daughter behind her. "Don't forget they have divorce papers. That means the two families aren't enemies, which is already quite good. How dare you make such a demand?"
"Your Xie family really has good upbringing. The younger brother betrayed and murdered his sister-in-law, and Xie Dacheng, as an adult, has no sense of responsibility whatsoever. He can't earn money to support the family, and he even makes his wife suffer."
The two sides went back and forth, exchanging insults incessantly, and gradually, more and more people gathered to watch the spectacle.
Some people are even advising Yang Lan to be more magnanimous and give her child a complete family.
Besides, isn't this how we all get through life? At least the Xie family is doing well; everyone has a job, so her future days will be much easier.
Hearing these comments, Yang Guoqing was somewhat disappointed. He was usually very helpful to these neighbors whenever they needed assistance.
Now that their family has encountered such a disaster, not only do these people not help, but they are also kicking them while they're down.
Jiang Yin angrily pointed at the gossipy women who had said this, "You also think the Xie family is good? Well, they happen to have two bachelors in their family. Hurry up and marry your daughters into the family, and you'll enjoy endless blessings."
