"Let's go inside first, don't just stand here!" Jiang Ling said to the group.
Back inside, Jiang Ling took out all the gifts and distributed them to everyone. When Jiang Zhishan saw that he had a share, he waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No, no, big sister, you've always been so good to me, it would be too much for me to accept your gift!"
Jiang Ling ignored Jiang Zhishan's actions and calmly placed the writing set in front of him, saying, "Zhishan, you are my younger brother, so it's only right that I buy you these things. Just accept them, or I'll get angry!"
As she spoke, Jiang Ling deliberately feigned anger.
Jiang Zhishan was worried that Jiang Ling would really be angry, so he quickly and carefully put the things away.
"Jiang... Jiang Shi, are you home?" Just as Jiang Ling's family was enjoying a happy time together, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Jiang Ling assumed it was one of the village women who had been scolding her, and without even looking up, she said to the courtyard, "Come in, I'm home!"
When the person stepped into Jiang Ling's house, Jiang Ling's gaze suddenly darkened, her smile froze on her face, and a sense of disgust rose from her heart. The person who came was Lu Youren's new wife - Wang Shi.
"What are you doing at my house?" Jiang Ling's words were clearly full of hostility.
Widow Wang's face was pale and bloodless, and her lips were also a little white. She hesitated and took out a cloth bag from her bosom, inside which were four eggs.
She watched Jiang Ling bite her lip and remain silent for a long time.
"Zhishan, take the children out!"
Although there was some displeasure between Jiang Ling and Widow Wang, she did not want to involve the children. Seeing the resentful looks in Jiang Yaojie and Jiang Suihe's eyes, Jiang Ling quickly said something.
Although Jiang Zhishan was not from Lujia Village, he had heard more or less about Widow Wang and his former brother-in-law Lu Youren during his time living there.
Although he had been educated since childhood and was taught about shame and etiquette, he was still furious when he saw the woman in front of him who had caused his own sister to be kicked out of the house. He glared at Wang Shi and left Jiang Ling's room with the children, who were also filled with hatred.
"Speak, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows, her attitude very unfriendly.
Jiang Ling is not some kind of "saintly saint" who can't forgive anyone who has bullied her. The fact that she can speak to her so "calmly" shows that she has reached the limit of her tolerance.
"Here, take this..." Widow Wang bit her lip and handed over the egg.
Jiang Ling did not take the eggs, nor did she pay attention to Widow Wang. She turned around and continued to pack the things she had bought from Yecheng.
Seeing that Jiang Ling was ignoring her, Widow Wang bit her lip and said to Jiang Ling, "Thank you for what happened last time. I... I heard from Sister-in-law Erleng that I had a difficult childbirth, and even Granny Cao couldn't help me..."
"If you're here to reminisce, then I'm sorry, you're not welcome! I'm very busy right now, please leave!" Jiang Ling's tone was cold, and her attitude was terrible.
Widow Wang stood there somewhat awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed the four eggs on the table before turning and leaving.
As soon as she stepped out of Jiang Ling's room, she heard Jiang Ling's voice behind her.
Before Widow Wang could react, Jiang Ling stuffed the four eggs back into Widow Wang's arms.
"I won't take your things, and don't expect me to forgive you just because I accept them..."
"Yes! Yes! You'd better leave now, you're not welcome in our house!" Jiang Yaojie rushed up to Widow Wang like a cannonball, glaring angrily at her.
"Yaojie! Go back to your room. Children shouldn't interrupt adults!" Although Jiang Ling disliked Widow Wang, she didn't want to pass on the hatred of her generation to the next.
She has been raising her children for almost half a year now, and she still remembers the first time she saw Jiang Yaojie.
Jiang Yaojie's stubborn temper flared up at this moment. His face turned red, his neck stiffened, and he glared viciously at the widow Wang in front of him.
Widow Wang was startled by Jiang Yaojie's terrifying gaze and took several steps back. Jiang Ling quickly signaled to Jiang Zhishan, who, along with Zhao Qianyu, forcibly dragged Jiang Yaojie back into the house.
"Widow Wang, oh no, I should call you Madam Wang, since you've already married Lu Youren, so you can't really be considered a widow anymore! Surely you're not out of your mind, right? You saw how my son treated you just now!"
"I've said it before, you're not welcome in my family. Don't expect me to forgive you. The most I can do is just keep to myself and not interfere with each other! I'm too lazy to pursue the matter of you verbally abusing my daughter before! Don't think that we, a widow and her child, are easy to bully!" Jiang Ling glared and rebuked angrily.
Widow Wang shrank back. She was no longer the same as before. After all, she was not facing an ordinary Jiang Shi who had no man to rely on, but a ninth-rank lady. Her face turned even paler after being scolded by Jiang Ling.
She stood in Jiang Ling's yard, looking somewhat lost. She gritted her teeth and finally left Jiang Ling's house with reddened eyes.
Just as she left, Zhao Erleng's wife "coincidentally" appeared in Jiang Ling's yard. Looking at her, her eyes were full of gossip, so she must have been eavesdropping at Jiang Ling's door for a while.
Jiang Ling didn't care. Anyway, Zhao Erleng's wife knew about her divorce from Lu Youren. She smiled at Zhao Erleng's wife and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here. Come in, I have a gift for you!"
Zhao Erleng's wife was surprised that Jiang Ling would give her a gift, and she stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Ling then affectionately grabbed Zhao Erleng's wife's arm and dragged her into the house.
