Ji Ling didn't respond. If she dared to take action, she wouldn't be afraid that her grandmother would blame her.

When the two of them got home, Lin Liying arrived before them. The person who had originally not allowed her to enter again came in again and was still complaining about her grievances in the living room.

Ever since Zhu Weidong got into trouble, the four brothers of the Zhu family moved back to the compound. At this time, all the people of the Zhu family were there.

As soon as Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu entered the room, Lin Liying's expression immediately changed from being aggrieved to blaming.

She shouted at Ji Ling, "Don't you dare to hit me? I'm sending you home now so you can hit me. Go ahead and hit me. What's wrong with me mentioning Zhu Weidong? He's my nephew. I can mention him if I want to. It's not your turn to interfere."

Ji Ling changed her shoes, put her bag on the shoe cabinet, and walked straight to Lin Liying. The people present hadn't figured out what she was going to do, but Zhu Yaowu, who was following behind her, knew that something was wrong.

He ran over without even putting on his slippers and grabbed Ji Ling, "Sister-in-law, calm down first. I'll talk to my family about this."

Zhu Yaowu didn't say much, but his actions made everyone present understand what Ji Ling was going to do.

"Lin Liying, what's going on?" Zhu Chuang was the first to speak angrily. "Before, you acted recklessly and Dad was sorry for you, but we didn't care about you and let you act recklessly. When Weidong got into trouble, you went to Xiaoling's place. What on earth did you want to do?"

Kong Siya hugged her granddaughter tightly in her arms, "Sister-in-law, you are already an adult, why do you act like a brainless child?"

The people who spoke up heard their voices one after another, but Niu Niu was not afraid. Instead, she stared at Lin Liying with curiosity.

Lin Liying pointed at Ji Ling and said, "Brother, did you see that? She was about to attack me, but you didn't say anything and she scolded me instead?"

Kong Siya stood up holding her granddaughter, and deliberately walked in front of Lin Liying, using her body to block her gaze from Ji Ling, and then stuffed Niu Niu into Ji Ling's arms.

"Niuniu is still young, don't let her see these ugly sides."

Ji Ling took her daughter in her arms and felt her arm being held. She raised her head slightly and met her mother-in-law's soothing and distressed gaze.

Her heart warmed, "Mom, I'll take Niuniu upstairs first."

"Go ahead, leave this to me and your dad." Kong Siya sent the person to the stairs, watched him go upstairs, and then returned to the living room.

During this time, Lin Liying wanted to stop Ji Ling from leaving, but before she could open her mouth, she was given a cold look by Mr. Zhu and shut up obediently.

Kong Siya sat back next to her husband. She was usually good-tempered, but now her face looked very ugly.

"If you want to use martial arts, then you say it." Kong Siya took the initiative.

Zhu Chuang felt sorry for his wife, patted her and signaled her to relax.

Kong Siya angrily shook off her husband's hand. Zhu Chuang touched his nose angrily, deceiving himself and pretending that no one saw him, and sat down seriously.

If his father hadn't signaled him not to speak, he would have spoken long ago. Now that his mother asked him, he told her everything that happened at the entrance of the unit when he got off work.

Everyone present changed color after hearing this.

"Mom." Seeing the old lady shaking with anger, Zhu Chuang couldn't help but worry. He winked at his sons, indicating that they should go forward and persuade her.

The Zhu brothers were also annoyed with Lin Liying. They also felt that their aunt dared to make such a fuss because she was spoiled by her grandparents, so she had to bear the consequences herself.

Zhu Chuang's eyes twitched, but none of his four sons moved.

Lin Liying snorted coldly, "Is there anything wrong with what I said? Why was Weidong harmed? You all know in your heart that if Ji Ling hadn't offended someone at school, she would have taken revenge on Weidong. My last name is not Zhu, but I have Zhu family blood in my body. Weidong is the one I love the most since I was a child. Now that he is in trouble, I am a sinner for telling the truth."

"Sister-in-law, even though you feel sorry for Weidong, there's no need to stab Xiaoling in the heart. Weidong's accident was also related to Lian Qizhen, so you can't put all the blame on Xiaoling. If you ask me, it's Weidong's fault. He worked with Gu Baoshan for several years, but he didn't see what kind of person he was. You can only blame himself."

"Kong Siya, that's your son. Aren't you sad if something happens to him?"

"I'm sad, but he's grown up, and I can't let his parents carry him for the rest of his life. I can't blame others just because I'm sad." Kong Siya didn't care what her parents-in-law thought. "Sister-in-law, this is the Zhu family's business. You're no longer a member of the Zhu family, so you don't have to worry about it. We thank you for caring about Weidong, but it's clear that your concern now will only cause us trouble."

Lin Liying bit her lip, and the light in her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. In contrast, Kong Siya still looked at her indifferently and was not scared away by her gaze.

"Yeah, I'm an outsider, right?" Lin Liying asked sadly as no one came forward.

Kong Siya, "Sister-in-law, you are my parents' daughter, and this is a fact that no one can change. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. You are also a mother, so just live your own life well. You don't need to worry about your mother's family's affairs."

Lin Liying: "Kong Siya, this is the Zhu family, not you."

"I married into the Zhu family and became the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. So this is my home. I am not the head of the family, but you cannot bully my daughter-in-law." Kong Siya refused to give in.

Lin Liying was not as good at speaking as Kong Siya. Seeing that her parents did not speak up to help her, she felt more and more aggrieved. Her eyelids were swollen like sausages from crying before, and she was old, so she looked so pitiful that people would not feel pity for her, but would just feel uncomfortable looking at her.

Not to mention that the Zhu family was tired of her, no one sympathized with her.

Even the daughter, Zhong Yali, stared at the ground with her eyes half-closed, her face wooden. She only felt that her mother's crying in her ears was noisy, and her eyebrows could not help but twitch when the sound was piercing.

"Mom and Dad, I was beaten by the younger generation, and now my eldest sister-in-law is protecting me. Are you just going to let me be bullied?" Lin Liying finally lowered her head and asked for help from Mr. Zhu and his wife.

Old Mrs. Zhu had her back turned since the beginning. When her daughter called her, she turned around, placed one hand on her heart, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with the other hand.

The air noticeably paused as the old lady moved and acted.

"I blame myself for being too soft-hearted, which led to today's situation." Old Mrs. Zhu raised her head, her chest puffed up, and she let out a long breath, "I shouldn't have let you in last time. I told you not to come to my house again, and I wouldn't let you in even if you came. I made a mistake."

Lin Liying's face turned pale, "Mom."

"Don't call me mom. I asked you to call me mom before, but you refused. Now that you call me mom, I don't want to hear it."
