Chapter 203: Chapter 151: Knock on the Door_2

Lady Wang cried even harder when she heard this.

"The Old Yang family is shameless," her nephews exclaimed in anger. "Why bother being polite? Smash it!"

Originally, Old man Qian and Qian Dagui wanted to be civil first and resort to force later. If the Yang family agreed to split, they would keep each other’s dignity, considering they were in-laws and they still needed to think of Auntie Die’s future.

But seeing Qian Mandie bullied like this, they were furious. There was no point in staying any longer—they took the child and left. When they heard the young men shout "Smash," they didn’t stop them.

Several young men began smashing things in the yard, and others rushed into the house to do the same. Wan Dazhong, worried about bumping into Qian Sangui, moved a chair to a corner, asked Qian Sangui to sit down, and guarded him from the side.

Old Lady Yang was pretending to be sick in bed, but when she heard the noise, she quickly got dressed and came out of the bedroom, only to find people had already started smashing things in the main room.

She was terrified and screamed, "Bandits are here! Robbers are here..." When she ran out and saw the courtyard full of people, including her second son’s in-laws, she was no longer afraid.

She didn’t think her family had done anything wrong. It was a great disrespect and foolishness for a daughter-in-law to call her family for support. Once they left, she would see how to settle scores with her.

She roared, "Stop it, stop it for me!" and then cursed at Qian Mandie, "You wretched whore, daring to call your family to smash your husband’s home. I’ll see how I deal with you."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to grab someone.

Seeing Old Lady Yang so arrogant, Lady Wang thought about how her own daughter must suffer when she wasn’t there. She couldn’t hold back any longer, walked over, spat on her, and cursed, "Ptooey, shameless old pious woman. Were you a starving ghost in your past life, looking to burst your belly this life? It’s not enough for you to take so much from your daughter-in-law’s dowry, you even want to swallow it all. My precious daughter, whom I cherish, you’ve beaten her like this and even forced her to chop wood. You dared to hit her in front of me. Just watch how I deal with you!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Old Lady Yang’s hair and started beating her. She was almost mad with anger, thinking her daughter could never live well in this family, so she might as well get her daughter divorced and bring her back home. Hence, she struck hard, cursing as she fought.

Lady Wu, Madam Hua, Wife of Qian Liang, and several other women surrounded Old Lady Yang and joined in the beating. Especially Madam Hua, even if she held back her strength, her hits still felt like iron, extremely painful.

Old Lady Yang had hardly reacted before she was surrounded and beaten by several women, screaming miserably.

Yang Youcai’s legs trembled with fear. Seeing so many tall and strong young men had already scared him out of his wits; he didn’t dare to step forward, just shouted, "Don’t hit my mother, don’t smash things, let’s talk this over..."

Yang Youzhi and the eldest daughter-in-law of Yang family were also petrified, standing aside and crying loudly. Seeing his own in-laws, Yang Youfu realized they had come to support his wife. He quickly rushed forward to shield his mother, saying, "Let’s talk, Mother-in-law, please stop hitting her."

Lady Wang was even angrier when she saw Yang Youfu, reaching out to hit and grab him too. She cursed, "You useless piece of trash, letting your wife be bullied like this..."

Yang Laokou heard the commotion from the front shop and ran over, shouting loudly, "What’s going on here?"

"Enough!" Old man Qian saw the beating was getting out of hand and enough had been smashed, so he called out loudly.

Everyone stopped their hands.

Old Lady Yang, disheveled and with a bruised face, sat on the ground and wailed, "They’re killing me, such disrespect! A daughter-in-law calls her family to beat her mother-in-law..."

A crowd had gathered outside the Yang family door, watching the drama unfold. Seeing Old Lady Yang in such a state, no one offered sympathy; instead, they all laughed and made snide remarks.

"She deserved to be beaten for all the wicked things she’s done."

"Good is repaid with good, and evil with evil. The payback just hasn’t come until now. She had it coming!"

"That’s right! My family lost a chicken a few days ago; it must have been stolen by her."

...

Seeing the mess in the courtyard, Yang Laokou clutched his chest in distress. It wasn’t because his wife was beaten that he was upset; it was the sight of so many possessions being smashed. But no matter, with so many young and able men against them, few relatives would be willing to stand up for his family, and even if they were, they wouldn’t be a match.

Although afraid, he tried to sound calm and shouted, "Qian family, we should be reasonable and discuss matters civilly. If we’ve done something wrong, we’ll apologize. But you all came and started beating the elder and smashing things, how do you justify that? Children should not speak of their parents’ faults, yet the younger generation shouldn’t even mention it. And our second son’s wife, to think she dared to incite her family to beat her mother-in-law and smash our home, that’s utterly disrespectful. We can’t keep such a daughter-in-law in our family, so she’s dismissed. And that’s not all; I’ll go to the County Government Office and accuse her of the crime of disrespect, and have her thrown into jail."
