Chapter 184: Chapter 181: Humph, Can’t It Be Cold-Hearted? [1850+ Votes]

——————

The fifth family, well, talking about her maiden home is a must.

Wang Xiaocui may be brainless and selfish, but she has a mother who because of her past filial behavior towards her maiden home, has pampered her all these years to no end. Even her sisters-in-law dare not voice any objections against her.

People from the Wang Family who benefited back then all agreed that Wang Xiaocui was a huge blessing to their family. Without her good fortune blessing them in the past, how could the Wang Family have reached such a high level of social development today!

And now, Xie Jingyang dared to have an affair, driving the Wang Family insane!

Most importantly, Wang Xiaocui nearly miscarried, yet Xie Tiesheng still let that assailant go!

In the Wang Family’s eyes, this was unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!

Given that Wang Xiaocui was hospitalized directly until before New Year, and only returned home after ensuring her pregnancy was safe, the Wang Family being in the neighboring town, no one specifically went to say [Wang Xiaocui has really failed as a person].

Thus it was on the second day of the New Year, that the Wang Family, having waited long for her without her visiting her maiden home, went to inquire about the matter, and upon finding out, they all exploded in fury.

Then almost the entire Wang Family went, and even though several representatives from Xie Family were there to mediate, scuffles still took place, and Xie Jingyang was punched fiercely by his furious uncle.

It was not a severe injury, but that punch completely shattered the last bit of affection Xie Jingyang had for Wang Xiaocui.

The Wang Family may not know the whole story, but does Wang Xiaocui not know? She was the person involved, yet she did not speak a word in his defense, nor did she argue for justice on behalf of Xie Family, instead letting her relatives insult his parents!

This was intolerable.

So, after Wang Xiaocui was escorted back to her maiden home by her family, Xie Jingyang remained passive.

Xiao Si and Xiaoqi did not even step out of their room, just hugging each other on the bed, and upon seeing their father finally return, they burst into tears out of fear.

Thus, as Xie Tiesheng and his wife sighed, Xie Jingyang was calming his terrified children with a composed demeanor.

"This daughter-in-law... I think, it’s troublesome~~" Xie Tiesheng took a drag of his hookah, responding like so.

Zhou Xiuhua massaged her temples, glancing at her old man, "Don’t talk about lawsuits, I think the fifth has cooled off his heart toward this."

"Hmm, how could he not be disheartened?" Xie Tiesheng was too lazy to comment further.

A good situation was once again ruined by her.

"Enough, let’s not talk about her, it’s upsetting," Zhou Xiuhua waved her hand, "San’er asked us to send someone to take care of Ni, I think, why not send the youngest?"

It’s just too disgusting, the Wang Family, failing to secure a marital arrangement, seized any opportunity to assert their presence, and everyone being from the same village, with Wang Guicai’s occupation being a bit tricky, this indeed left Xie Tiesheng irate with no outlet.

In the entire Qingshan Team, he is the only one with inherited traditional Chinese medical expertise! Many villagers don’t like his love for money, but his medical skills are still reliable.

Even if he wanted to find an excuse to drive the Wang Family out of the village, he couldn’t!

Realistically, people can’t avoid falling ill, he can’t allow the Xie Family to be grudged by Wang Guicai just for his own daughter!

"This is good, Wang Lao Cai understood Xie Tiesheng’s concerns, allowing his son to come every day to make his presence felt, which meant that his youngest son barely dared to step out of the house."

"Because of these issues, Xie Jingzi had quarrels with Wang Xiuzhen and Wang Chunmei, but those two are thick-skinned, and she, a gentle and good-tempered little aunt, was simply unable to handle their rogue-like behaviors!"

"Regarding this matter, Xie Jingzi had already avoided her sister’s home several times, but after all, it was not her own home. Her brother-in-law didn’t have many objections, but his mother was troublesome! Therefore, after staying there a couple more times, Xie Jingzi was unwilling to inconvenience her elder sister any further."

"The youngest one, she is just a child, what can she take care of? Besides, she’s traveling alone, can you really feel at ease? Why don’t you go with her?"

"What about Fourth’s place then?" Speaking of the Fourth Family, their child was supposed to be born before the New Year, but their tiny baby had its own plans, surprisingly deciding to be born on New Year’s Day!

"The expected delivery date was postponed by a whole half month, and because of this delay, the couple from the Fourth Family spent their new year in town with their child."

"Since something like this happened to the Fifth Family, the Fourth Family notified their mother’s family early, and she came to take care of the daughter, which saved me a lot of trouble as a mother-in-law."

"Isn’t her mother taking care of her? She has already given birth and is doing well. The Third Family’s situation is a firstborn and twins, which is of more importance." Xie Tiesheng responded without even thinking.

In his father’s eyes, among the four daughters-in-law, the Third Son’s Wife is the most important.

Twins! Just the announcement would stir excitement in the Old Xie Family. But considering Third Son’s Wife’s gestational month is still early, better wait a bit longer.

According to the elderly, mentioning the fetus in a pregnant woman’s belly is taboo. This tradition exists because it is feared that talking about the fetus might result in a miscarriage due to being ’overly light.’

"This..." Zhou Xiuhua herself wanted to take her younger daughter and temporarily leave this place of conflict, but Zhang Shanni’s pregnancy is still quite early, only four months. At this stage, she should be able to take care of herself.

But with the Fourth Family having just given birth, if she took her youngest daughter away now, the Fourth Family would certainly have complaints.

A problem with the Fifth Family was enough. Adding issues from the Fourth Family, would life still be bearable?

"Old man, I think we should wait a bit. We need to at least finish the Fourth Family’s confinement period before considering anything else. If it is urgent, maybe let the Fifth take the youngest and go first. The youngest staying always inside the house, it’s not ideal either!"

Before Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua came to a conclusion, they suddenly heard their eldest daughter-in-law screaming outside, frightening them both as they supported each other. They exchanged glances and stood up simultaneously—

In the front courtyard, not only was there the eldest daughter-in-law’s screaming, but also the crying and shouting of a few grandchildren.

Then came a loud cursing voice.

Hearing this, the faces of Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua both changed.

At this moment, the two rushed out of the main room hand in hand.

As expected, they saw the previously empty courtyard now enveloped in chaos due to Xu Xiaofen and the children’s screaming, drawing even more people’s shouts of alarm.

The crowd, dark and dense, had in a short span of time, blocked the view.

Looking at the situation, these people were clearly not just here because of the eldest daughter-in-law’s screaming, but had swarmed over following the emergency!

"What’s going on, what’s happening? What is this...?" Zhou Xiuhua paused to catch her breath, steadied her spirit, then pushed through the crowd to rush inside—

Was it just those two or three sentences of screaming and alarm that brought all these people to the courtyard in an instant?
