Wang Hongxi sighed, looking utterly helpless.
"Honey, Liu Qingshan can always find another wife, but what about our Xiaorui? She'll be old and no one will take care of her. Can we support her for the rest of her life?"
Da Shan's father walked over and stood in the middle of the room. "You don't need to put on an act. I know who you are. I was originally thinking of parting amicably, but because of what happened today, our family won't contribute a single penny."
Everyone knows that we are a kind family. We were originally thinking of giving her some money after the breakup, but as you all saw, the money was burned instead of being given to her.”
"Your whole family are inhuman, who wants your money?" Wang Xiaorui broke free from her mother's support and rushed towards the mountain, looking like she was ready to die with them.
Liang Dan tugged at Da Shan, and Wang Xiaorui missed her target, crashing directly into the table, smashing the teapot and teacups on the ground.
Liang Dan walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at Aunt Dashan. "Auntie, you can't be angry anymore. I don't want to stay here anymore. If you need anything, just send someone to find me."
"Thank you, young lady."
Hearing the faint voice of the old woman, everyone felt even more sympathy for the family.
Liang Dan smiled, turned and left, and the crowd made way for her. Someone noticed Xiao Xiaorui rushing towards Liang Dan with a shard of a bowl. Everyone screamed in fright.
Liang Dan didn't even turn around. Suddenly, she turned around and kicked Wang Xiaorui again, sending her sprawling to the ground once more.
“I’m a man of rank. Based on what you just did, you could go to jail. Do you want to try?”
Liang Dan's words terrified Wang Hongxi's family. She rushed over and said, "Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Liang Dan ignored them completely and turned to leave.
The house was quiet; no one spoke except for the sound of Wang Hongxi's weeping.
Da Shan's father wanted to resolve this matter immediately. "Your whole family should leave my house right now, and from now on, we'll keep to ourselves. We're honest, but we're not cowards. If anything happens in the future, I'll take care of it."
Wang Hong was overjoyed, her chest heaving. "My daughter has been with you for over ten years. You just want to let it go like this?"
"Oh? So what do you want? We'll take whatever you say." At this moment, Da Shan's mother's voice came from behind.
"Everyone, make way." Hu Aifen helped the old lady in, followed by Zhang Hongmei, Xiao Li Lujing, and Liang Dan.
When everyone saw the old lady arrive, they all knew that this matter would definitely be resolved today.
The old lady ignored everyone and instead walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to look at Dashan's mother.
"Xiao Cui, how is it?"
When Da Shan's mother saw the old lady coming over, she burst into tears, "Second wife, our family is so pathetic!"
"Stop crying, what's there to cry about? What can't you get over?" Hu Aifen helped the old lady sit down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Have you all made enough of a scene? Aren't you all ashamed of yourselves?"
"Mountains, tell me your story, even this old codger wants to hear it."
"Grandma, I have to break up with her."
"You're dreaming."
Da Shan sneered, "You don't believe me? Try it! I, Liu Qingshan, am an honest man. I think we live in the same village, so I should give everyone an explanation. But legally, we are not husband and wife at all. Over the years, how have I treated you? You can tell me honestly. But what about you? You've been lying to me all along, being unfilial to my parents, and making trouble for me all the time. I could have been promoted, but because of you, I'm still just an ordinary worker."
Okay, I'll put up with that. Everything I do is a contribution to the country, and it's all for the sake of making a living.
But you shouldn't have insulted my parents in front of me. That's not something a human being should do.
Wang Xiaorui raised her head fiercely, but when she suddenly saw Xiao Li next to Zhang Hongmei, she trembled in fright, lowered her head, and didn't say a word.
"Hongxi, tell me, even though they're all grown up, they're still your family. What do you think we should do about this?"
“Mistress, let’s just break up. We’ll raise the daughter from now on.”
"Are you holding a grudge and feeling wronged?"
Wang Hongxi kept her head down and didn't say anything.
"Erzhuang's family is related to us by blood, so I can make the decision. To be frank, I never liked your daughter from the beginning."
I remember saying after the incident that Liujiatun wouldn't tolerate her. Hongxi, what did you do?
So many years have passed, my words no longer carry weight. It's alright, it's just that I'm old and useless now.
But I'll say it again today. Liujiatun won't tolerate her, and I don't want her to die. The choice is yours, Hongxi.
Wang Hongxi and his wife both knew the seriousness of the situation. But Wang Xiaorui had gone mad; in fact, she had been like this for many years.
"Why should I? I'm from Liujiatun. No one has the right to drive me away? You only have a few days left to live, and you still think you can control everything."
"Liang Dan, beat her! It doesn't matter if she dies!" Zhang Hongmei suddenly spoke, and these words terrified everyone in the room.
"You dare? Is there no law anymore?" Wang Xiaorui continued to shout.
Upon receiving the order, Liang Dan rushed towards her, startling Wang Hongxi's family who immediately stepped in front of her, shouting, "Hongmei, Zhang Hongmei, let her go! She's gone mad!"
"Liang Dan, come back? It seems I've lived too long; their family holds too much resentment towards me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hongxi realized that this was a serious matter. If it were really like this, she wouldn't be able to stay in Liujiatun for even a day longer.
He knelt on the ground with a thud, "Mistress, I haven't disciplined you properly. I'll leave with my whole family tomorrow."
There were still some people in the village who were on good terms with Wang Hongxi. He was a decent person, just a bit selfish. So a few people still came out to help.
“Second wife, Hongxi has worked hard even if he didn’t do anything special. Please calm down. This isn’t his fault. The children are grown up and we can’t control them.”
Wang Hongxi's wife couldn't care less about her daughter now, and she knelt down with a thud. "Second wife, please don't be angry. It's our fault. I'll take the child back and won't let her out until she's properly disciplined."
Then several other people stood up and said, "Second wife, please give their family a chance. We all know Hongxi's character. He may be a little confused about his children, but he has truly served our village without any selfish motives."
"Fine, fine, let it be. But my Liu family doesn't have a daughter-in-law like that, insulting her parents-in-law. If I were twenty years younger, I would have chopped her up."
Zhang Hongmei came over and helped the old lady down. "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not worth it. Let's go home. Why should we care about them? Nobody's stupid. I can't let my brother Dashan's life be ruined like this."
"Let's go home. Aifen, tomorrow we need to have all the Liu family members come to our house. I need to explain the rules."
