"Nonsense! It's clearly her who bullied me. Are you all blind? City people are bullying rural people, and officials are bullying ordinary people."
People who come to the department store to buy things are not fools who would risk their lives; after listening for a few minutes, they can tell who is right and who is wrong.
Moreover, this woman sitting on the ground crying and making a scene was really indecent.
"Get up! It's so embarrassing to sit on the ground shouting like that."
"It's already very kind of you that your mother-in-law doesn't look down on you. If she were my daughter-in-law, I would definitely make my son divorce his wife and remarry."
Erni became agitated, "Why should I divorce Zhiwu? Are you also after my man?"
The woman who was speaking was accused by Erni of having a crush on her man, and she was so angry that she wanted to hit her.
"Are you crazy? I'm so old, and you're saying I'm interested in your man? You're so young and you're spouting nonsense."
Now I know how wronged your mother-in-law was. If you dare to say anything more, I'll call the police and have you arrested.
Erni was used to acting like a shrew and a rogue like those women in the village, and she had no idea that this kind of behavior wouldn't work in the city. She felt like everyone in the world was bullying her.
They bullied her because she was from the countryside.
"Fang Zhiwu, speak up! Are you dead? Hurry up and make your mother apologize to me!"
Fang Zhiwu stammered, having no other choice but to shamelessly speak to Qin Shuman, having no other option but to do so with Erni.
"Mom, why don't you apologize to Erni and let this matter go? We're all family, why make such a fuss?"
Qin Shuman clutched her heart, gasping for breath. "You want me... to apologize to her?"
Erni looked up at Qin Shuman with a smug expression.
"Hurry up! Your son has spoken. If you don't apologize to me, I'll make sure your son doesn't support you in your old age."
Qin Shuman was so angry she almost fainted, and Lin Han had to help her to steady herself.
"Zhiwu, you have disappointed me greatly."
Fang Zhiwu was somewhat at a loss. He had never had his own opinions and was used to listening to Erni and his parents-in-law. He had no ideas of his own.
Now Erni asked him to make Qin Shuman apologize, and he did so, but he didn't expect Qin Shuman's reaction to be so strong.
Did I really disappoint Qin Shuman?
Fang Zhiwu's eyes darted away, avoiding Qin Shuman's gaze.
Erni waited arrogantly for Qin Shuman to apologize, but instead received a slap from Lin Han.
“You are the one who should apologize. You have no respect for your elders, sow discord, make unreasonable demands, and maliciously slander others. If you don’t apologize, I will send you to the police station.”
Erni couldn't believe that Lin Han, an outsider, could send her, the daughter-in-law of a military region commander, to the police station.
Even if she went to the police station, wasn't her father-in-law the most powerful person in the entire Qingzhou? What could the police do to her?
"Why should I apologize? Qin Shuman should apologize to me. In this family, if I'm not happy, no one else can have a good life."
Lin Han raised her hand and slapped him again.
Fang Zhiwu tried to stop her, but Lin Han pushed him aside.
“If you can’t be fair, then stand aside. Don’t neglect your wife and hurt your mother’s feelings.”
Lin Han's slap was no light one. Erni, who had been lively just moments before, was instantly stunned and stood there for a long time before she came to her senses.
"What right do you have to hit me? I'll fight you to the death."
As he spoke, he rushed towards Lin Han, as if he wanted to tear Lin Han to pieces.
Lin Han stood still, and just as Erni was about to touch her, she suddenly dodged to the side.
Erni didn't notice that the stairwell was right across from her, and due to inertia, she couldn't stop in time and tumbled down the stairs.
