Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!

Xiao Yihao replied tacitly, "Elder, although Chu Yue is a woman, she has supported the Xiao family's head house. It is me, a cripple, who has no face to stand in the ancestral hall."

"You are a man. Even if you don't support your family, have secret meetings with others, beat and scold your wife, and treat your wife and children harshly, you are still a man of integrity. How can I be worthy of standing side by side with you!" Jiang Chuyue responded with a smile, and took a step back obediently, standing behind Xiao Yihao, looking obedient and sensible.

Just one word caused a thousand waves. Xiao Li's little troubles were now known to everyone in Wanshan Village. Jiang Chuyue's words were clearly mocking Xiao Li.

There were many onlookers, and they all started to talk in low voices after hearing what was said.

"You..." The elder was greatly angered by Jiang Chuyue's sharp tongue, "As a junior, you should not be the one to teach your elders a lesson even if they make mistakes!"

"Yes, the elders can bully and humiliate me. When the family property was divided, they squeezed out all the property of the eldest wife. Now that the family property has been divided, they can still give orders to the eldest wife. What kind of logic is this?"

Jiang Chuyue had no intention of settling the matter peacefully from the beginning to the end. The people behind him actually instigated the forced opening of the ancestral hall. Although it was not known how many benefits he had promised to these elders, it was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.

Jiang Chuyue couldn't get out of the ancestral hall easily without getting skinned alive.

In this case, why should Jiang Chuyue save face for them? She might as well overturn the roof of the ancestral hall. She wanted to see to what extent these elders could do for the people behind the scenes.

"You are so good, Jiang Chuyue, you are very eloquent!" Seeing that one elder could not suppress Jiang Chuyue, another person stood up.

Jiang Chuyue glanced at him and saw that his face looked bad, his forehead was black, his lips were purple, and she could tell at a glance that he had a bad heart. "Oh, you are so old, you may be unwell somewhere, don't say that I made you angry and blame me for it."

Jiang Chuyue, who had a strong attacking power, refused to give in and scolded every elder who wanted to lecture her one by one. She was merciless and even stepped on the sore spots of many people.

"The daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, Jiang, is disrespectful to her elders..."

Jiang Chuyue, who was too lazy to pay attention to them, yawned and didn't listen carefully to what they said. They were just scolding her for disrespecting elders and despising the ancestral hall.

But Jiang Chuyue was a staunch materialist. She didn't believe in any retribution, let alone any consequences for despising the ancestral hall.

"Are you done?" Jiang Chuyue felt sleepy after listening to the five elders talking for an unknown amount of time. "If you're done, can I leave now?"

"You still want to leave?" an elder sneered.

"According to clan rules, Jiang Chuyue should be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, and then be imprisoned in the ancestral hall to copy Buddhist scriptures to atone for his past mistakes."

Perhaps it was because Jiang Chuyue finally fell silent, the five elders were secretly happy, mistakenly thinking that although Jiang Chuyue was arrogant, without Xiao Yihao's protection, she would not dare to really go against the ancestral hall, let alone Wanshan Village.

Jiang Chuyue, who had never kneeled once from beginning to end, glanced at them and asked, "I wonder which family or clan this rule belongs to?"

"Of course it's the rule of the Shen family in Wanshan Village!" The clan elders were very angry at Jiang Chuyue's cold attitude. Unfortunately, Jiang Chuyue was still a junior. As elders, if they hit Jiang Chuyue in public, it would not be good if it got out.

"Oh~" Jiang Chuyue smiled even more deeply, "Isn't it a little inappropriate to use the rules of the Shen family in Wanshan Village to manage the Xiao family?"

The elder realized something was wrong the moment he blurted out his words. The next second, Jiang Chuyue really asked, "Since you are from Wanshan Village, you should follow the rules of Wanshan Village. The main family of Wanshan Village is the Shen family. If you don't want to follow the rules of Wanshan Village, then get out of Wanshan Village."

The clan elder was so angry at Jiang Chuyue that he spoke without thinking and blurted out that he wanted the Xiao family to get out.

Jiang Chuyue was not annoyed, but still smiled. "If I remember correctly, there are 109 households in Wanshan Village, and there are only more than 20 households with the surname Shen. How come the Shen family is the main family of Wanshan Village? Other families must follow your Shen family's rules?"

Jiang Chuyue, who was already dissatisfied with the oppressive rules of the ancestral hall, was not worried about what would happen if she really offended the five elders.

He even wanted to add more fuel to the fire, "So, according to this statement, the five clan elders are also members of the Shen family?"

Someone in the crowd responded, "The elders are indeed all members of the Shen family."

"That's interesting. The Shen family of more than 20 households has controlled Wanshan Village for so many years. Even the rules of the ancestral hall were set by you, and others had to abide by them. Could it be that the Shen family is the local emperor of Wanshan Village?"

In Wanshan Village, the Shen family, as the family with the most say, is indeed like a local tyrant. Some of the prominent families in the village are members of the Shen family. It is precisely by exploiting and oppressing other families that the Shen family can live such a comfortable life.

Even when food was scarce, no one from the Shen family went up the mountain to collect herbs to exchange for food from Jiang Chuyue.

"You..." The clan elders, who had been singled out and criticized by Jiang Chuyue one by one, were already very angry. Ever since they decided to open the ancestral hall to punish Jiang Chuyue, they had never taken Jiang Chuyue seriously. They never thought that Jiang Chuyue would be such a difficult thorn in their side.

Jiang Chuyue interrupted them before they could speak, "That's right. Every household in Wanshan Village is short of food now. Many families can't even afford a single bite of food. The Shen family, relying on their status as local emperors, live quite comfortably. They even use the best charcoal from the market in town, which doesn't produce any smoke when burned."

The villagers have long accepted and become accustomed to the Shen family's tyranny over the years, but being accustomed to it does not mean they will always be cowardly.

When someone takes the lead and their own family is really having a hard time, they will rise up, express their dissatisfaction with the Shen family, and vent their emotions.

The onlookers soon began to denounce the Shen family.

They originally wanted to judge Jiang Chuyue, but they never expected that Jiang Chuyue would lead them astray with just a few words. Looking at the villagers outside whose faces were red from yelling, several elders became a little panicked.

Although they are in charge of many matters of the ancestral hall, they are not the ones who make the decisions in Wanshan Village after all.

They have been accustomed to the tolerance and support of other villagers for many years, and never thought that someone would stand up to challenge their authority. In short, they have been eating and drinking for many years, and they don't have the ability to do anything if you really ask them to do it.

Xiao Yihao, who had hardly spoken from beginning to end, smiled.
