Jiang Xin covered her ears, feeling a bit annoyed by the noise. Actually, she wanted to turn around and leave. But, after all, she still had to live in this village for a long time, and she really couldn’t just move out right away. If she left at this moment. It’s likely that Mrs. Fu’s complaints to these villagers would become even more vehement. Because with her not around, Mrs. Fu could make up lies to tell others. Moreover, given the previous incident of the original owner being framed by Jiang Wan, the villagers already had a quite negative opinion of her. Adding to these impressions, it was already unfavorable, so when they heard Mrs. Fu’s words, naturally, the villagers would all side with Mrs. Fu. By then, they’d believe whatever Mrs. Fu said. In that case, Jiang Xin herself would be in a very passive position. So, even if Jiang Xin wanted to leave, she still held back. Jiang Xin turned to look at Mrs. Fu, seeing that when the villagers were asking her questions, her gaze was darting around, looking a bit guilty. Jiang Xin sneered inwardly, standing there with her arms crossed, wanting to see what Mrs. Fu would say. Mrs. Fu stood aside, listening to the villagers’ questions, one after another. Initially, she felt justified, planning to tell the villagers about Jiang Xin when they came. Letting others know what a bad seed Jiang Xin was. Initially, Mrs. Fu felt confident, after all, she had lived in this village for decades. The neighbors were all acquainted with her, and if she spoke ill of Jiang Xin, they would surely believe her. Before Mrs. Fu could speak, she glanced at Jiang Xin beside her, seeing Jiang Xin silently staring at her without saying a word, the fierceness in her eyes was intimidating even if unspoken. For some reason, Mrs. Fu suddenly remembered the night when Jiang Xin had grabbed her by the throat, leaving her in that miserable state. If she openly spoke ill of Jiang Xin in front of the villagers, wouldn’t this little bitch beat her to death? Having learned her lesson, Mrs. Fu began to hesitate, regretting having cried out and attracted all the neighbors. After all, this wasn’t something honorable. Mrs. Fu felt remorseful, but it was too late to regret now, as the neighbors were already standing in the yard, and if she didn’t give a reasonable explanation, they wouldn’t leave. Mrs. Fu’s face turned ugly, she turned and gave Mr. Fu a glare, silently cursing the old man, wondering why he hadn’t been louder in stopping her. If he had been louder, maybe she would have listened, and things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. It was simply a dilemma! If she complained to the villagers about Jiang Xin’s wrongdoings, it wouldn’t be an issue, although Mrs. Fu knew that the villagers would side with her. But Jiang Xin was standing right beside her, and if she blurted out her complaints, Jiang Xin might just come over and slap her, that would be terrible, as she wasn’t a match for Jiang Xin.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized she couldn’t afford to provoke Jiang Xin. But if she said nothing, offering no explanation, and just told the villagers that nothing happened, asking them to leave quickly. Then in the future, how could she hold her head up in this village? Whenever the neighbors gossiped, wouldn’t they call her a cowardly mother-in-law, bullied by her daughter-in-law, not daring to utter a complaint? Mrs. Fu frowned as the villagers continued their questioning, most were just there for the spectacle, without genuine concern about what happened in their home. Mrs. Fu was acutely aware of this, knowing that most were just there for the gossip. But there was no way out, as she had already lured them, and Mrs. Fu could only proceed with her original plan. Mrs. Fu put on a pitiful face and complained to the villagers: "Oh, my dear villagers, they say family scandals shouldn’t be publicized, but I wouldn’t have acted , wailing and attracting everyone if I wasn’t truly aggrieved." After Mrs. Fu said this, the villagers all turned their gaze towards Jiang Xin. No doubt, because in this household, if there was anyone likely to anger Mrs. Fu, it would be Jiang Xin. After all, Fu Yu was not at home nowadays, leaving just Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu with Jiang Xin, the new daughter-in-law. With the three of them living together, it wasn’t hard to guess who might have upset Mrs. Fu. Therefore, the people’s gazes towards Jiang Xin became somewhat hostile. After all, she had a history in their eyes, and upsetting her mother-in-law wasn’t beyond her capabilities. Jiang Xin had even done such a vile thing as stealing her distant cousin’s fiancé, it showed just how malicious she could be! Upon receiving the villagers’ stares, Jiang Xin rolled her eyes silently. She thought to herself that these people thought they were clever, yet they were being played by Mrs. Fu. All it took was a cry from her to make them rush over to watch the spectacle, but in truth, they were the ones being manipulated. "Mrs. Fu, don’t be afraid, we villagers are all here today, if you’ve been wronged, feel free to speak up in front of everyone." "Since Fu Yu isn’t home, we can stand up for you, if someone has bullied you, we will seek justice for you," "That’s right, we are asking you, so just say it straightforwardly if you’ve been wronged or beaten, don’t worry about anything else, just speak up." "Exactly, Jiang Xin is just a new daughter-in-law, why fear her? We villagers are united, we won’t let you be treated poorly." The villagers, seeing Mrs. Fu hesitating as if wanting to speak but not daring to, were indignant. Thinking that Mrs. Fu, at her age, had to be bullied by her daughter-in-law , it was heartbreaking. And with her son not at home, most of the onlookers were of Mrs. Fu’s generation.
