Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Meeting (1)_1

"Do you have any dignity left? Are you still a man of Ma Family?" Ma Zhicai’s tone became harsh. He had always looked down on his eldest brother, Ma Xincai, because he was a scholar. Usually, when Ma Xincai saw him, he would always treat him respectfully. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Ma Xincai, a weakling, and his anger flared up immediately.

"Such a shrew, only a man like you would treat her as a treasure." He sneered sarcastically.

Ma Xincai’s face turned red. He too was a man, how could he take this kind of mockery. He looked at Ms. Huang, wanting to scold her a few words, but when he looked down and saw their two children in tears, and the look of utter despair on Ms. Huang’s face, he suddenly found himself unable to say anything.

"Ma Xincai, if you’re a man, come with me, let’s cut ties with them, so they won’t keep draining our blood like leeches." Ms. Huang said, crying, as she once again aired her years of grievances in front of everyone.

Because the argument was getting out of hand, many villagers had gathered to watch the spectacle. For a moment, everyone was looking at the injured children and the crying Ms. Huang, shaking their heads and discussing the matter. Public opinion immediately swayed in favor of Ms. Huang.

"You arrogant harlot, after a few days of working for the Lin family, you think you’re something, don’t you? You think with the Lins backing you up, I’d be afraid of you." The Yan Family woman couldn’t stomach this humiliation, "You’ve earned a bit of money, but where’s it gone? All your earnings are lining your own pockets. Look at all of these things, they were all earned by Zhicai, what have you brought in? You harlot! You can’t even tell the difference between home and outside, you get flattered a few times and you start treating strangers as your own. But now that they’re gone, who are you going to suck up to?"

"Who’s gone?" Wu Erli was enraged, wishing he could slap her right then.

"Yes, make it clear." The villagers were already angry about Lin Ziyin’s disappearance. The sarcasm from the Yan family woman instantly ignited everyone’s anger.

"Our family affairs are our own business, what right do you all have to interfere?" Ma Zhicai glared coldly at the villagers. "My mother’s never pointed a finger at any of you, has she? If you’re disgruntled, don’t try to vent your anger on us."

"Yeah, son, they’re just trying to bully us by outnumbering us." The Yan family woman fearlessly chimed in.

"Just look at her. Ma Xincai, I’m telling you, either we separate and cut ties today, or we divorce. I’ll take the children and leave." Seeing the way the Yan woman and Ma Zhicai were behaving, Ms. Huang felt utterly disheartened.

Everyone lived in the same village. Aside from the fact that Lin Ziyin was now a lofty princess, the benefits the Lin family brought to the villagers made the Yan woman’s behavior a provocation to the entire village.

If this continued for long, there would certainly be trouble.

Being a young woman with two young children, the Ma family did not want to risk death or imprisonment with the Yan woman.

No, they must cut ties.

"Huh, the eldest son came out of my belly, you say cut ties and we cut ties? If you want to leave, go by yourself." The Yan woman, having Ma Zhicai on her side, brimmed with confidence, immediately.

Ms. Huang didn’t say anything, just quietly looked at Ma Xincai.

Ma Xincai looked somewhat embarrassed. He wanted to divide the family, but he didn’t want to cut ties. He feared being backstabbed. "Let’s divide the family but not sever ties."

"Then go by yourself." Ms. Huang sneered and walked into the house to start packing.

"Mother of my children." Once Ma Xincai saw that, he immediately became anxious.

"Get out, but don’t take a needle or a thread from our Ma Family." The Yan woman screamed at the top of her lungs.
