A car accident, our family of three crossed

"What, what do you mean?"

He Li asked in a daze, as if she didn't understand. Then she seemed to react and pointed at Song Ning with an angry face and said, "Song, I'm telling you, if you dare to touch my son, I will tear you apart."

Song Ning spread his hands.

"Look, I was just giving an example, and my sister-in-law got so excited." She pointed at San Ya in Zhang Cuiju's arms, "That girl pushed my son into the river and almost drowned him, but I didn't tear her apart. Am I very forgiving?"

"What? She, you...this?"

This time, He Li finally understood what was said. She looked back and forth between Zhang Cuiju and her daughter and Song Ning with her eyes wide open, unable to utter a complete sentence. She had been jealous of Song Ning for a long time, and thought that she could take advantage of Song Ning's bullying to squeeze her, but she didn't expect that the facts were not what she thought.

"Dazhu's wife, if you don't understand the situation, don't meddle in other people's affairs. Do you think you are the county magistrate?"

The wife of the head of the village spoke up. She was considered the elder of the He Li family, so the other party did not dare to retort and shut up in dismay.

The headman's wife is a capable woman in the village. Any matters between women that the headman is not convenient to deal with will be mediated by the headman's wife. That's why she brought people to testify against San Ya today.

When she was young, she worked as a maid in a rich family, so she had much more experience than the women in the village. Her eyes were quite accurate in looking at people, and she could tell whether it was a god or a ghost after just a few glances.

Not long after Zhang Cuiju came to Shangtang Village, the village head's wife saw that she was not a quiet person, but that was someone else's business, and she didn't bother to care until it came to her. As for the young wives in the village who were close to Zhang Cuiju, they were just jealous and would gather together to make up stories about the objects of their common jealousy. He Li was one of them.

It would be fine if they were just some minor conflicts on a normal day, but now that something almost resulted in a death, as the wife of the village head, she certainly couldn't just ignore it. At the very least, she had to make the facts public in front of everyone.

She cleared her throat and said, "Everyone knows about Shuheng's family falling into the water yesterday, right?" She pointed at San Ya, "It was that girl who pushed Yangyang into the river, which led to the subsequent events. I'm telling you this to let you know the truth, so that you won't misunderstand that Shuheng's wife is bullying others."

Her eyes swept across the faces of several young wives who were close to Zhang Cuiju, and finally fell on He Li. She glared at her fiercely, and the latter lowered her head guiltily.

As the head of the village's wife spoke briefly and to the point, there was a burst of discussion inside and outside the yard.

No one noticed that Hang Shuheng from the study window was waving at Erhuzi who was playing in the yard. After he whispered to Erhuzi for a while, Erhuzi ran out of the yard.

"you……"

Zhang Cuiju wanted to stop it but it was too late. She could only hug her daughter and cry, "Wu... Do you really have to force us to death? Poor us, an orphan and a widow, don't even have the ability to resist..."

"Oh! Don't talk nonsense, who wants to force you to death?" Aunt Sun retorted: "Your daughter's evil deeds are true, right? You don't want people to talk about what you did? Telling them is to force you to death? You are really good at accusing others."

"Shuheng's wife is right. Harming others is equal to harming yourself." said a sister-in-law who was taking care of the children.

Zhang Cuiju could not refute the facts. She raised her tearful face and looked at everyone. She looked at Song Ning with hatred in her eyes. "Cousin, I know you don't like us mother and daughter, but we are relatives after all! But you want to team up with outsiders to deal with us."

"No one wants to deal with you. If you hadn't hurt my son, do you think I would have even looked at you?" Song Ning said calmly.

Indeed, in the past, Song Ning was unwilling to even look at them.

Zhang Cuiju cried to herself, "I know that you are unhappy that Auntie took us in." She looked at Hang's mother, "Auntie, since my cousin's wife is not happy about us living here, we should just leave. I'm afraid we will be wasting your kindness."

Hang's mother seemed to have just woken up from her dream. After being provoked by Zhang Cuiju, she immediately jumped up and shouted: "She is unhappy, why should she be unhappy? It is not her turn to be the head of this family..."

Zhang Cuiju knew best how to stir up Hang's mother's dissatisfaction with Song Ning. She couldn't deal with everyone in the village, but she could let Hang's mother deal with Song Ning. With just one sentence, Hang's mother forgot her fear of Song Ning.

"I am the head of this family. I can let anyone live in my house if I want."

"But my cousin's wife..." Zhang Cuiju covered her face and pretended to wipe her tears.

Mother Hang waved her hand and spoke more and more excitedly: "What do you mean by 'she'? It was me who asked you to live here. If she dares to disagree, she is disobedient and unfilial. I can..."

The village head's wife couldn't bear to see her being so stupid. Brains are good things, but unfortunately she doesn't have them.

Any casual words from others could provoke her, and the headman's wife had to re-examine Zhang Cuiju.

Seeing that Hang's mother was becoming more and more rude, she couldn't help but want to speak out, but a faint voice spoke faster than hers.

"What can I do?"

When everyone looked over, they saw that Hang Shuheng had arrived in the yard without them noticing and was standing behind Hang's mother.

Hang's mother shuddered and turned around stiffly and slowly to look at him.

"cousin……"

Zhang Cuiju cried out in a sad tone and then lowered her head.

Hang Shuheng only glanced at her calmly, then turned his gaze back to Hang's mother and asked again, "What did you say just now?"

"Yes, yes..."

Mother Hang was unable to speak, but He Li, who had just been quiet for a while, had a twinkle in her eyes and spoke faster than her brain. "Disobedience and unfilial behavior are the seven grounds for divorce, and you can divorce me, um..."

"Dazhu's wife, why don't you shut up!"

The headman's wife's loud scolding made her realize what she had said. She quickly covered her mouth but it was too late.

Hearing this, Hang Shuheng looked at her with a smile and said, "Talking too much is also a violation of the seven grounds for divorce. I wonder if the He family will divorce you, sister-in-law?"

He Li still covered her mouth, the color on her face slowly faded, and the gloating in her eyes was slowly replaced by a look of fear. It was no wonder that she reacted like this, perhaps any woman in this era could not bear the consequences of being divorced.

"Is that what you think?"

He said this to Hang's mother and laughed at himself.

"Since we got married, you don't seem to want us to live a good life. Why? Are you making a fuss every few days just to force me to divorce you?"

"I think it will be useful? When have you ever listened to me? You forget your mother after you get married." Hang's mother moved her lips and said unhappily.

"What's wrong with Aning? What makes you so unhappy?"

"What's good about her? She can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders. What's the point of a countryman marrying a daughter-in-law like her?" She invited everyone to express their opinions. "Tell me, everyone, who would marry a daughter-in-law if not to have more help at home to do more housework, but what did our Hang family marry? We married an ancestor to worship."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, all the women and young wives looked at Song Ning with contempt in their eyes. Those young wives who had been deeply jealous of Song Ning were now filled with an unprecedented sense of superiority in front of her.

Song Ning didn't care about it at all, just laughed it off, turned around and found a stool to sit down and watch the show.

"Your mother-in-law is just confused. Don't take it too seriously. As long as Shuheng treats you well, that's enough." The headman's wife patted her hands and whispered to comfort her.

"Don't worry, auntie. I'm fine." Song Ning smiled back.

Hang Shuheng followed Song Ning's gaze until she sat down, and then he asked Hang's mother again.

"Who in the village doesn't know that the daughter of the scholar is literate and well-educated, but she has never worked in the fields? Since you are so dissatisfied, why didn't you oppose our marriage in the first place?"
