"Officer, this has nothing to do with my family. It was that old lady who specifically sent a message to her daughter, and then had her daughter come to my house to say it!"
"You old woman, you're just talking nonsense..." Seeing that things were not going well, Old Mrs. Li hurriedly tried to deny it.
The policeman's face darkened further, and he gestured to the junior officer behind him to cover Mrs. Li's mouth so that his in-laws could continue speaking.
Startled, Old Mrs. Li instinctively swallowed, her mind racing with only one thought—
No matter what, we can't let them get arrested and taken to the police station today. If they really go in, how will their whole family ever be able to live in Zhao Jia Gou again?
"It was Old Lady Li's daughter who said that the Zhao family had made a fortune. While my daughter was away visiting her parents, the Zhao family planned to dump my daughter and find a young and beautiful wife for their second son."
The old lady from the in-laws rattled off the whole story in one breath.
As soon as he said that, everyone was in an uproar. The whole courtyard was in an uproar, and a cacophony of noises rose from all directions.
"My God, could it be that the second son of the Zhao family is really going to change wives?"
"I've never heard of this 'swapping wives' thing before. Does that mean my daughter has a chance too?"
"Calm down, isn't your youngest child a virgin?"
"It's alright, my family doesn't mind that Zhao Lao Er is a divorced man. After all, the Zhao family is so rich now."
"You wish! Your daughter's face looks like it's covered in a map. No wonder Zhao Lao Er wouldn't even look at her. My daughter loves children and would love being a stepmother!"
...
The second son's wife's mind went completely blank right now!
Did they say that when they came to our house to deliver a message? How come she didn't know?
Could it be that they went to the restroom in the middle, and that's when they told me behind my back?
At this moment, the second son's wife was also a little unhappy.
She brought all the good food, drinks, and useful things back to her parents' home like a mouse, but as a result, her parents treated her like an outsider and kept her at a distance.
Now look what happened, not only did they not get the money or the cloth, but they also...
Her in-laws looked at her like she was a Japanese devil, and her own family stopped protecting her.
Looking at Old Lady Li's fierce expression with her eyes wide open, how was she supposed to live in Zhao Family Village after this?
Her mother has offended everyone in the village!
The second son's wife was truly regretting it this time, regretting that she had acted rashly and come to her husband's house with her own family to cause trouble.
It would be better to do things the way they used to, quietly come back by myself, and slowly find opportunities to bring fabric and money home little by little.
When Zhao Lao Er saw his wife's eyes darting around, he knew what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
Did she hear what the people around her were saying?
While others were starting to covet her man, she was still preoccupied with her family members who had ignored her plight.
The second son, Zhao Jianjun, sighed slightly. After this incident, he finally understood why his family used to say that his wife was a traitor. Even now, she was still thinking about taking things from home to her parents' house.
The chaotic noises around them continued, and the second son suddenly heard his wife's somewhat hesitant voice.
"Mother, please stop talking. We were wrong today... We shouldn't have started throwing a tantrum as soon as we entered the yard. Why don't we go back?"
He kept giving his mother meaningful glances as he spoke.
He indicated that he had something to do and would talk about it later.
Um?
The Zhao family was stunned. Why had their second son's wife suddenly changed her mind?
In the past, even if she was wrong, she would stubbornly refuse to admit it. Why would she say something like admitting defeat today?
Unexpectedly, the second daughter-in-law's mother didn't understand her daughter's hints at all.
Upon hearing this, her expression changed drastically; she was furious.
How can the child that crawled out of my belly be so heartless!
What kind of time is this to expect her to admit her mistakes? The police are watching; how can her own family admit wrongdoing?
Even if they admit their mistake today, they will never be able to hold their heads up again.
Even her daughter would be implicated in Zhao Jiagou, after all, she has her parents and brothers from the old police station. How could she ever hold her head high in this life?
How can we control Zhao Youcai's family and take the good stuff to our own family if we do this?
It's true what they say, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; a dog bites Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart.
She treated her daughter with all her heart, but not only did she not appreciate it at all, she even turned around and harmed her own family.
...
At this moment, Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she kicked her legs wildly. In all her years, this was the first time she had been falsely accused!
In the past, she was always full of bad intentions, causing others to suffer in silence.
Today, things have turned out the other way around; she's now experiencing what it's like to be the target of rumors.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai's mother-in-law had said enough, the police loosened their grip on Old Mrs. Li's hand.
Grandma Li immediately seized the opportunity, using both hands and feet to quickly crawl to the opposite side of Zhao Youcai's mother-in-law, and grabbed her hair, pulling her hard.
"You damn old hag, you dare spout nonsense!"
"I kindly asked my daughter to persuade your daughter to come home and enjoy her life, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also turn around and blame me like Pigsy!"
"You're lucky if I don't tear your skin off today!"
Two elderly women with white hair lay wrestling in the Zhao family's courtyard, and soon clumps of white hair appeared on the ground.
Despite Zhao Youcai's mother-in-law's sharp tongue, she always made her sons do the dirty work, no matter what happened.
Compared to Grandma Li, who did everything herself, she quickly fell behind.
Although both of them had their hair pulled out, the only one whose hair was clearly pulled out in one bald patch was Zhao Youcai's mother-in-law.
