"I've said enough! Xiaocao didn't reveal the breakup in front of the whole village, which was already giving you face. What more do you want? To beat her to death?!"
Zhao Tingzhang was furious. That old woman Zhao was really a handful, and the Xiang family was not to be trifled with.
"Just kill it, so it won't be a nuisance to look at it later!" Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't hit Xiaocao, so she had a lot of anger to vent.
"It's not certain who will die first between us," Zhao Xiaocao sneered, her words showing no mercy whatsoever.
Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry she almost fainted, and she cursed loudly, "Unfilial son! Unfilial son!"
Seeing their mother so angry, Cheng and Zhao Xiangnan didn't bother to criticize Zhao Xiaocao and kept trying to persuade Zhao's mother.
Seeing the scene spiraling out of control, Zhao, the village head, angrily stopped them, "Alright! Everyone, stop!"
After all, he's a village head; there's still some consideration he needs to show.
The situation finally calmed down, and Old Lady Zhao was panting heavily with anger.
"This is your Zhao family's own business. If Xiaocao is determined not to stay with your Zhao family, what can you do to her?"
Both Cheng and Zhao Xiangnan knew very well that their daughter was extremely stubborn and could not be persuaded at all.
If Zhao Xiaocao insists on severing ties, there's nothing they can do.
Old Mrs. Zhao felt ashamed of the incident, as it made her lose face in front of the whole village, so she couldn't swallow her anger.
"Mother, how about... how about we leave it like this?" Zhao Xiangnan tugged at his wife's sleeve.
This is already embarrassing enough; as a man, he doesn't want to be even more humiliated.
How can my child face people in the village like this?
Madam Cheng felt she couldn't swallow this insult. "What can I do? I can't just raise a daughter and let Madam He take advantage of her!"
Before He Tiantian could speak, Zhao Xiaocao corrected her, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if I'm cutting ties with you, it's because you treated me badly."
“This has nothing to do with my second aunt. I should thank her for taking me in.”
Zhao Xiaocao always knew her mother's ability to deflect criticism with minimal effort. If she didn't make things clear today, her mother would definitely slander her second aunt in the village.
Her mother used to do things like that all the time.
"You!" Madam Cheng glared fiercely at Zhao Xiaocao. "You're living in that bitch's house now. What else could it be but that she's bought you off!"
Zhao Xiaocao ignored her mother's explanation. "So, according to you, if I go to my aunt's house in a couple of days, it means I was bribed by my aunt?" Zhao Xiaocao retorted without getting angry, leaving Cheng speechless with just a few words.
Cheng Shi doesn't want any conflict with the eldest son's family right now, because Zhao Pang's marriage is still being handled by Wan Cunhua.
Given this relationship, Cheng could only endure it for the time being.
"From now on, I, Zhao Xiaocao, will live alone. Don't you dare threaten my aunt and second aunt anymore," Zhao Xiaocao said coldly.
