“Madam Jiang, I have already sent people to fetch your parents-in-law and the clan chief. We can discuss this in person later.”
"Understood, Butler Li."
Jiang Shuhe's wife is the only girl in the family. Before she got married, her family protected her, so she really didn't know how to argue with others.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuhu's wife in the courtyard learned that a steward had arrived and was going to welcome the clan leader and his parents-in-law.
She wasn't afraid of her parents-in-law, but she was terrified of the clan leader.

This time it was real crying; tears truly flowed out.
Lan Niang breathed a sigh of relief. With her younger brother away, she couldn't possibly argue with her in-laws on her own.
She knew that since her husband earned a lot, his brothers and sisters had been subtly trying to get him benefits, but he had always turned them down.
