Seeing that Xiao Damei was still behaving this way, Xiao Zhengde scolded her.
"Xiao Damei! This is Xiao Yi's house. You've been living here before, but now that his son is back, you should move out!"
Don't wait until they say something unpleasant and things fall apart!
Xiao Damei was comfortable living there and refused to move, complaining...
"So what if he comes back? He's just a little brat. What's wrong with him not having enough room in any room?"
"At worst, I'll feed him!"
Nanxing was furious when she heard this and retorted sarcastically.
"As expected, shameless people will say anything, and at worst they'll just give someone a meal!"
Your whole family eats other people's rice and lives in other people's houses, how dare you say you provide them with food!
"Eating someone else's food, living in their house, and then beating their child—you heartless bastard! You deserve to go to hell and have your heart ripped out by that hunting dog!"
"You little slut, who are you talking about? Where I live is none of your business! You're so talkative, you deserve a beating!"
Xiao Damei, her face flushed with anger, retorted with a barrage of insults after Nanxing exposed her shortcomings.
If they weren't in the ancestral hall, and she was afraid of being beaten up again like last time, she really wanted to grab Nanxing and slap her a few times. It's unbelievable that anyone dares to talk back to her!
Xie Yushu coughed lightly and looked at Xiao Zhengde. Xiao Zhengde naturally knew that Xie Yushu was dissatisfied with the attitude of Xiao Damei's family.
And indeed, Xiao Damei's family was in the wrong, so there was no need for further discussion; they simply asked Xiao Damei and her in-laws directly.
"Are you going to come out and apologize and move out on your own initiative, or are you waiting to be kicked out? While the village head is still willing to give me face and I'm still willing to help you, give me a straight answer!"
"I don't need to worry about it; the village head will handle it personally. What happens to you then is none of my business!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Damei turned to Xie Yushu unwillingly.
"Xie Yushu!"
Even if you've been granted the title of Lady of the Township, so what? This is a matter for the Xiao family. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?
"Nanxing, slap yourself!"
Xie Yushu didn't even raise her eyes before giving Nanxing instructions.
Nanxing had been putting up with her for a long time and was just waiting for Xie Yushu's order. Upon hearing this, she didn't say a word, but went over to Xiao Damei and slapped her hard across the face.
Then he reprimanded
"Who do you think you are to dare address the village head by his given name and shout at him? This is utter disrespect! Ten slaps are just to teach you a lesson. If you dare to do it again, don't blame us for giving you a good beating!"
Although Xiao Damei was still resentful, she was now clear-headed. She gritted her teeth and didn't dare to say anything more.
The Yang family refused to speak up, neither saying they would move out nor offering an apology.
Xie Yushu waited for about half a cup of tea's time, then waved her hand and said...
"Jinyu, tell Nanxing who hit you, and let her hit you back!"
Xiao Zhengde sighed upon hearing this and then ignored it.
The Yang family became anxious.
"We don't know who it is either. We thought it was just a beggar. We didn't mean to!"
"That's right! Besides, we're hitting Xiao Yi's son, not your Xie family members. What right do you have to hit us!"
Nanxing sneered
"Why should we? Because our village chief has recognized Jinyu as his son, and we are determined to make this decision for him!"
Chu Jinyu didn't stand on ceremony. With her hands behind her back, she walked up to the Yang family, pointed to the four maids and boys, and Xiao Damei's mother-in-law, and said...
"The four of them beat me up, and that old woman even stood up for them, telling them to throw me out and lock the door!"
As soon as Chu Jinyu finished speaking, Nan Xing swiftly pulled out the four people and threw them into the middle. The group was indignant and resisted in unison, even trying to pull Nan Xing's hair and scratch her face in pairs.
Nanxing originally only wanted to slap them a few times to teach them a lesson, but when she saw that they still wanted to hit her, she kicked both of them away with one kick each.
Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianlin stepped forward and, without any hesitation, each kicked one of the two boys to the ground.
Nanxing went straight up and slapped each of them hard across the face.
Seeing that Nanxing was really tired from fighting, Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianlin decisively took over the two boys, slapping them until they immediately begged for mercy.
Old Mrs. Yang and the Yang family cried and shouted that they were being bullied, that the steward was bullying them, and that they were being forced to work!
Xiao Zhengde's eyebrows twitched with anger.
"Shut up if you don't want to go to jail! Do you know that you've broken the law by occupying someone else's house?"
No one pursued this before, otherwise you would have been in jail long ago!
Do you really think your tantrums and sulking will work on everyone?
"If this gets out of hand, you'll all be in jail, and then all your houses and properties will belong to the Yang family!"
Although Xiao Zhengde looked down on this family of scoundrels, he was kind-hearted by nature and did not want to see them go down a dead end, so he still gave them a warning.
The Yang family cried and made a scene for a while, but no one stood up for them. Xiao Zhengde then bluntly pointed out the consequences, and the family finally realized that things were different now!
Not only were their tantrums and unreasonable behavior ineffective, but they also realized that Xie Yushu was someone they couldn't do anything about.
Especially when they heard that the land was going to be divided up by the clan, they broke out in a cold sweat. If Xie Tianqi really put them in jail for the crime of occupying other people's houses, their houses and land might really be divided up by the Wang clan. What way would they have to survive then!
So they immediately fell silent, and Old Man Yang even stepped forward to bow and apologize to Xie Yushu and Chu Jinyu.
"Lord Xiangjun, it was all our fault for being ignorant of etiquette. Please forgive us! Jinyu, right? Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against your aunt! I'll have those ignorant fools kowtow to you and apologize!"
After finishing his sentence, Old Man Yang scolded one of his unruly children, who had been beaten so badly that his head was swollen and chubby, for apologizing to Chu Jinyu.
Those unruly kids were terrified of being beaten, so they obediently kowtowed to Xie Yushu and then to Chu Jinyu, saying sorry.
Chu Jinyu turned her face away and threw herself into Xie Yushu's arms.
Xie Yushu waved her hand casually.
"Alright, get up, all of you. Let's leave it at that. Pack your things and leave later!"
"Lord Xiangjun, where are we supposed to go in the dead of winter? You're practically trying to kill us!"
"Stop! Don't try to morally blackmail me!"
Is it that your Yang family has no one to rely on, or that your wife's family has no one to rely on?
You must have quite a few siblings in your family!
"It's not Xiao Yi's turn yet. Even if it were, you've lived comfortably for over two months, that's more than enough. If you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me for cutting out your tongues!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Qu Xiaodie immediately stopped them without hesitation, as this family of heartless people still wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and slander Xie Yushu.
Sure enough, seeing that they had been exposed, the Yang family left with long faces, unwilling to accept it!
It's not like I'd freeze to death, but staying with my brother or father-in-law is nowhere near as comfortable as staying with Xiao Yi. He has food to eat and clothes to wear, and nobody takes care of me!
At this moment, the Yang family was filled with deep regret. If they had known that the little brat was Xiao Yi's son, they would have just locked him up at home for a day and given him a meal. Why did they let him find Xie Yushu and shamelessly acknowledge her as his mother?
What a spineless ingrate! Even though Xie Yushu has been divorced, he still runs off to claim her as his mother. He'll only acknowledge whoever feeds him!
