Shen Yunsheng's anger was like a volcanic eruption, uncontrollable.
As the head of the family, it's one thing for her father-in-law not to stand up for them, but he also expects her to apologize to that old vile woman—he's dreaming!
“Father, your threats won’t work. I will never apologize to the murderer.”
“Jingchuan’s family, you’ve gone too far. Even if your grandmother really killed you, so what?”
Xiao Wenjing was furious that his daughter-in-law was disobedient. He knew his mother well; even if she were a heinous villain, she would not kill her own people.
Xiao Wanqing was furious. Before Shen Yunsheng could speak, she retorted angrily with a dark face: "Father, you are too protective of your own. The old lady has already killed someone, and you are still defending her."
Shen Yunsheng had long been unable to bear it any longer, and as soon as her sister-in-law finished speaking, she took over the conversation.
"Grandpa, I've put up with you for a long time. I won't stop you from being a dutiful son, but please don't cross my line."
Xiao Wenjing looked at Shen Yunsheng in disbelief. In his memory, his daughter-in-law had always been a timid girl who would never dare to contradict him in public.
Shen Yunsheng glanced at her father-in-law and said, "Although you are a good son and a good brother, you are not a good father or a good husband. Only my mother can tolerate you. If it were any other woman, she would have divorced you long ago."
Granny Yang was also so frightened by Shen Yunsheng that she froze on the spot. In all the surrounding villages, no daughter-in-law dared to talk back to her father-in-law.
This Shen Yunsheng is probably the first one.
Xiao Wanqing was also frightened by her sister-in-law. She had also mustered up her courage to confront her father before.
After a long silence, Xiao Wenjing finally spoke: "Jingchuan's family, you...you actually dare to lecture me."
Shen Yunsheng sneered: "How dare I lecture you? I'm just speaking from an outsider's perspective. To be honest, a mama's boy like you who has no sense of responsibility doesn't deserve to get married and have children. If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to live in this world."
Xiao Wenjing was struck on a sore spot by his daughter-in-law and immediately became furious: "What do you know, you're just a woman? You married into our family, so you should be a good wife and mother, not a shrew."
Xiao Wanqing, fearing that her sister-in-law would suffer, quickly retorted angrily: "Why are you being so fierce? My sister-in-law has not wronged you. Although you are our father, you have never raised us. We are better off without an irresponsible father like you."
Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but retort angrily, "I don't object to you being a dutiful son, but don't forget the responsibilities on your shoulders. Ask yourself honestly, are you truly without guilt towards your wife and children?"
Xiao Wenjing was furious: "You...you're simply outrageous!"
Shen Yunsheng sneered again: "I was forced to act out of line by the old lady. If you were killed by the same person twice in a row, you wouldn't call me out of line."
Seeing that Shen Yunsheng and his elder brother were arguing more and more intensely, Xiao Wenkai stepped in to smooth things over.
“Jingchuan’s family, I know you’re worried about Jingchuan, but you can’t be disrespectful to your elders. If word gets out, it won’t be good for you.”
When the old green tea (a derogatory term for a woman who is actually a manipulative woman) intervened, Shen Yunsheng became even angrier.
"Second Uncle, don't act innocent after getting the benefit. You're over forty years old and still a freeloader. If I were you, I would have given up the exam a long time ago."
“Jingchuan’s family, I think you’re asking for a beating, daring to humiliate your second uncle.”
At this moment, Granny Yang wished she could tear Shen Yunsheng to pieces. Just as she was about to continue cursing, Shen Yunsheng sneered coldly.
“I’m just stating the facts. My second uncle is over forty years old and still spends his days wasting time at the academy. If I were him, I would definitely leave the resources to my grandson or son.”
Shen Yunsheng glanced at Xiao Hongxu. Although Xiao Hongxu was the second son of the second wife, he was not favored, and the money he earned had to support his father's education.
At this moment, Xiao Hongxu and his wife really wanted to applaud Shen Yunsheng. They also felt that Xiao Wenkai was wasting his time by going to school and would be better off making a living in a down-to-earth manner.
“Jingchuan’s family, you’ve gone too far! How could you bully your second uncle?” Xiao Wenjing scolded Shen Yunsheng when he saw his younger brother’s ugly expression.
“Father, honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial. My second uncle is just too bookish, which is why he thinks that taking the imperial examination is his only way out.”
Shen Yunsheng sneered. These scholars are utterly useless. All they do every day is spout classical phrases and they've lost even basic life skills.
Suppressing his anger, Xiao Wenkai asked, "Jingchuan's family, what is your opinion on the way out in life?"
Shen Yunsheng: "There are many paths in life. As long as you are willing to work hard, even if you are a peasant, you can still make a name for yourself."
Xiao Hongbin strongly agreed with Shen Yunsheng's point of view. He felt that Shen Yunsheng was like a shining star at this moment, and even if she was criticizing someone, it would not affect her beauty.
After Shen Yunsheng had finished his rebuttal, he softened his tone.
"Second Uncle, I don't mean to target you. If you really want to gain a foothold in the imperial examination, you need to establish correct values instead of taking other people's efforts for granted."
"Second brother, don't listen to her nonsense. What does a woman like her know?"
Xiao Wenjing impatiently interrupted Shen Yunsheng, still resentful that Shen Yunsheng had made him lose face.
“Dad, there’s a saying that goes, ‘Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.’ If Second Uncle knew other skills, he wouldn’t starve even if he didn’t pass the exam.”
Shen Yunsheng was truly exasperated with her father-in-law. He kept calling her "woman" and "woman," acting like he was the master.
Xiao Wenkai was afraid that Shen Yunsheng would criticize him, so he quickly acted as a peacemaker.
“Brother, what Jingchuan said may be rough, but it makes sense. Over the years, I have also been looking for other paths. If I don’t pass the exam this time, I will find another way.”
Xiao Wenjing glared angrily at Shen Yunsheng: "This time, I'll let it slide for your second uncle's sake. But if you do it again, I'll have Jingchuan divorce you."
