A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 54: You Still Have to Pretend When You Need to

It is against the will of heaven to ignore the excitement.

People who heard the noise nearby began to gather in groups of two or three. As soon as they arrived outside the Hang family's yard, they saw Hang's mother pointing at Song Ning and angrily cursing: "You are a vicious woman. Today I have finally seen your true face..."

Song Ning seemed at a loss. When he saw someone coming, he just gave everyone an awkward but polite smile.

Everyone suddenly realized something and looked as if they understood what was going on, and continued to watch the fun.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" The speaker was the aunt who had an argument with Hang's mother during the day.

"Didn't you all say that she was filial? She was just pretending. You were all deceived by her." Hang's mother pointed at Song Ning and exposed her behavior, as if she was sure of victory.

"She is not what you see. You didn't see her vicious face. Just now she refused to give me food and wanted to let me starve..."

Everyone felt as if they had heard a huge joke when they heard her words. Seeing her saliva flying all over the place, if it weren't for her image of bullying her daughter-in-law that was too deeply rooted in people's minds, everyone would have almost believed her.

As expected, Song Ning said aggrievedly: "Mom, I know you don't like me, but you can't slander me like this! I prepared the meal, but it was you who refused to eat..."

Everyone thought, so that's how it is. In comparison, Song Ning's statement was more convincing. After all, this mother-in-law bullied her daughter-in-law more than once or twice.

"You are pretending again, aren't you?" Mother Hang looked at everyone, eager to make them believe her, and tried her best to expose Song Ning's lies, "She is just pretending, don't believe her, that's not what she said just now."

Someone couldn't help but sneered: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you won't believe what you said, right?"

"You don't believe me? Why don't you believe me?" The distrust of the crowd was visible to the naked eye, and Hang's mother found it a little unbelievable.

She may have never thought that she would one day be in such a situation. In the past, she was aggressive and domineering, and she had offended all the people in the village. It was normal that she did not have the trust of everyone now.

Song Ning took advantage of this point. She had been busy with many things before and had no time to spare. This time, she wanted to let her know that Song Ning was no longer the soft persimmon that she could bully at will.

"What are you doing?"

Amidst the noise, a familiar voice suddenly emerged, standing out particularly well.

When everyone heard the sound and looked, Hang Shuheng and Yang Yang were outside the crowd, asking what was going on like curious bystanders.

Mother Hang seemed to have seized the last glimmer of opportunity. She rushed to Hang Shuheng, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Shuheng, you're back. Your wife is really terrible. She says one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. She pretends to be filial in front of others. Just now, when we were the only two in the room, she actually refused to give me food. This time, I didn't wrongly accuse her..."

Just now, seeing from afar a lot of people gathered in front of his house, Hang Shuheng made some guesses. As expected, this cheap mother started to act up again.

"How could that be? We were having dinner at Shuisheng's house, and Aning was worried that you would be home alone without food, so she came back to cook for you." He guessed that Song Ning would not easily leave a handle for others to grasp, so he looked at her and asked as if he was following the procedure: "Didn't you cook for mom?"

"I cooked, but mother didn't eat. She kept saying, and kept saying..." Song Ning hesitated at the end, whetting everyone's appetite.

"What else?" Hang Shuheng asked cooperatively.

"Mother complained that the food was not good, and said, I was sending away beggars."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking about it.

"Oh! What kind of food is this?"

"How bad is it?"

While everyone was curious about the meal that caused the disturbance, Hang's mother was confused. That was indeed what she said, but she was deliberately making things difficult for Song Ning. Who would believe that the meal was for beggars?

"What did you cook for mom?" Hang Shuheng was addicted to acting, deliberately frowning and scolding: "Is this how you cook for mom?"

Yangyang couldn't understand the adults' expressions. He just thought that his father was angry with his mother and was being mean to her.

"Mom!" Yangyang decisively shook off Hang Shuheng's hand, ran to Song Ning, and looked at Hang Shuheng with a wary look.

The child's reaction hurt Hang Shuheng a little. He never dared to think that his position in the child's heart could surpass Song Ning, but this feeling of not being trusted made him uncomfortable and sour in his heart.

While Song Ning was pleased about this, she also noticed Hang Shuheng's mood changes. However, she could not take care of him for the time being. The most urgent task was to end this farce first.

"The food is still on the table. You can go in and take a look." Seeing is believing, hearing is not. No matter how much she said, it would be better for everyone to see it with their own eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone was eager to try it out and rushed into the yard and went straight to the main dining room.

"I want to see what kind of food is served to beggars."

The one walking in front was the aunt who had an argument with Hang's mother during the day. She entered the main room first, took a look at the dining table, and cried out in disbelief.

The reactions of the people who came in later were the same as hers. Several women looked at the table of food in bewilderment.

The plate of scrambled eggs with green onions looked quite large, with at least three eggs in it. The other stir-fried vegetables were green and looked delicious, not to mention the bowl of white rice. Some of them had never even eaten rice cooked with refined rice.

Even though they had just finished their meal, looking at the food, the gluttony in their stomachs couldn't help but stir again.

"Oh sister-in-law, you call this sending away beggars? You won't even eat this, do you want to eat dragon meat?"

"No, it's not like that... I, I am..." Hang's mother tried to explain herself, but she couldn't make any clear words after mumbling for a long time.

"If beggars can eat this well, I would rather beg every day."

"Oh, that's rice cooked with polished rice. I've lived half my life and I've never eaten such white rice. Sister-in-law, why don't you just send it to me, a beggar?"

Several women made some open and secret sarcasm. They were reluctant to eat the food on normal days, but they were accused of giving it to beggars. How could they not be angry?

Walking at the end of the crowd, Hang Shuheng looked at Song Ning and raised his eyebrows to ask, but Song Ning just blinked at him. This scene happened to be seen by Hang's mother who was unable to defend herself.

She pushed through the crowd and rushed to Song Ning, cursing, "You little bitch, you hurt me, I've been tricked by you, little bitch."

After saying that, he raised his hand as if to hit someone. Song Ning pretended to be scared and hid behind Hang Shuheng.

Hang's mother hit out with one hand but missed, and tried to attack again, but Hang Shuheng saw this and shouted.

"enough."
