After hearing Mrs. Fu’s words, they instantly put themselves in her shoes, feeling as if they were experiencing similar misfortune. Suddenly, they felt furious and began to look at Jiang Xin with increasing disdain. The villagers quickly guessed the reason. They thought Mrs. Fu must be afraid of Jiang Xin, which is why she suffered in silence despite being wronged. Or perhaps, Mrs. Fu felt that family shame shouldn’t be aired publicly and didn’t want to share with outsiders like them. But how could the villagers let Mrs. Fu have her wish fulfilled? Originally, each of them came to watch the drama. If Mrs. Fu said nothing, wouldn’t they have wasted their trip? On such a hot day, making a trip for nothing—isn’t that a little unreasonable? So, upon seeing Mrs. Fu’s timid and hesitant demeanor, the villagers couldn’t resist speaking up again: "Exactly, Aunt Fu, you should just say everything at once. Talking halfway, even if something happened at your home or you’re feeling wronged, we wouldn’t know a thing!" "If you don’t say anything, wouldn’t our visit be in vain? Everyone came because they care about you!" Seeing the villagers chime in one after the other, Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. She closed her eyes tightly, almost grinding her old teeth to pieces, ultimately putting on a pathetic appearance as if she’s been bullied, and started to speak: "It’s just unfortunate luck for our family, marrying such a daughter-in-law!" "This little witch left early this morning and no one knows where she’s been fooling around. She left at seven thirty in the morning and didn’t return home until two or three in the afternoon." "I just asked her where she went, and this little witch just screamed at me." "Actually, this wouldn’t be much of an issue if Fu Yu were home. I worry when she often goes out; what if something goes wrong?" "Bottom line, I’m worried about Jiang Xin’s safety, but she found me annoying and scolded me." "You tell me, I’ve been working hard for this family, day in and day out, and now at such an old age I’m yelled at by my daughter-in-law—how stifled I feel!" "I really can’t hold it any longer. I’m crying and I don’t care if everyone laughs. They say family shame shouldn’t be aired, but I really can’t take it today!" "If it weren’t for Jiang Xin, the person marrying Fu Yu should have been Jiang Wan. What kind of misfortune is this? Such a good daughter-in-law was pushed away, boo-hoo!" Mrs. Fu spoke tearfully, evoking great pity. With reckless words, she twisted right from wrong, placing all the blame on Jiang Xin. Who can tolerate this? Anyway, Jiang Xin can’t stand it at all. But she knows it’s not yet time for her to fight back. The villagers haven’t even spoken up yet! After all, having caught such an opportunity, they need to find a target to insult brutally. Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xin had this thought, the villagers, hearing Mrs. Fu’s words, instantly began to speak up for Mrs. Fu. They looked at Jiang Xin as if she was an enemy, glaring at her without giving her a chance to explain. In their minds, whatever Mrs. Fu said must have truly happened. The villagers believe Mrs. Fu would not lie to them. They’ve been neighbors for so many years—they know each other’s characters well, don’t they? Moreover, to them, Jiang Xin is just an outsider. Even if she’s bullied, it’s her own doing for trying so hard to marry Fu Yu. They’ve seen people who chase love, but never someone like Jiang Xin, shamelessly insisting on marrying someone, ignoring her own reputation. Isn’t she just begging to be scolded? So, the villagers each started attacking Jiang Xin: "Look at your mother-in-law, you’ve bullied her to such a state! Is this how one should be a daughter-in-law?" Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Since you insist on marrying her son, is this how you treat your mother-in-law? Do you have any sense of propriety, respect for the old and young!" "Bah, you little witch! You bully them, seeing the son isn’t home, with no one to stand up for the elderly couple, so you dare bully them !" "Really, listen here; does this sound reasonable? Look at whose daughter-in-law leaves early and returns late everyday! Your mother-in-law is worried about your safety, wanting to ask where you’ve been, and you begrudge her? Is this how a daughter-in-law should be?" "Aunt Li is right. If my daughter-in-law were like you, going out all the time without informing the family, I’d break her legs to teach her a lesson!" The villagers, one after another, all spoke in favor of Mrs. Fu. Originally feeling a bit guilty, Mrs. Fu saw the scene unfold and her guilt disappeared instantly. Seeing all the villagers were on her side, she couldn’t help but feel smug, waiting for Jiang Xin to apologize under pressure. Mrs. Fu looked down upon Jiang Xin, even anticipating her reaction. In the end, she was stunned. Mrs. Fu never expected, under so much pressure, Jiang Xin managed to remain composed, as if she was not the person the villagers were speaking about. It truly surprised Mrs. Fu. She didn’t know what to say. After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Fu saw Jiang Xin not uttering a word, not appearing to be intimidated by the villagers. Still couldn’t help but add to the villagers: "You all know very well, I’m not the type of malicious mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law poorly." "The reason I shouted to bring you here is simply to hear Jiang Xin apologize to me." "After all, we’re family, harmony brings wealth. All I want is a sincere apology; if she can’t do that, then I’ll regard her as not being my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Fu thought, anyway, Jiang Xin has agreed to divorce Fu Yu already. It’s just a matter of time—ten days or half a month. Saying this shouldn’t be an issue, right?
