The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Then she began to act aggrieved, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

"My husband is dead, and you are still slandering him. You have a really cruel heart!"

Now that the person is gone, the truth seems no longer important.

Fang Qin pondered in her heart, what can she do with just Su Yu's one-sided statement?

Su Yu raised a cold smile, staring at Fang Qin's pretended compassion, and said with sarcasm in his voice: "You said I'm poisonous? How could I be poisonous? Could it be that I drove Jiang Youfu out of the house when the elders were not at home?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Qin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and Zhao Shi seemed to have heard some shocking secret, and asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this?"

Su Yu shrugged lightly and recounted the situation of that day: "I remember it very clearly. That evening, I went to deliver steamed buns to Aunt Wang. We talked for a long time, so I came back late. As soon as I stepped into the yard, I heard Jiang Youfu crying at the door. He said he was scared and begged me to let him into the house to take shelter."

Su Yu's eyes accurately caught Fang Qin's panicked and evasive look, and his tone added a bit of biting sarcasm: "I don't know how Youfu offended the third brother's wife to be retaliated like this. It was so dark that night, if someone hadn't pushed him out of the door, how could he have fallen into the lotus pond?"

With just a few words, Su Yu easily turned all the blame onto Fang Qin. Although her accusations were exaggerated, they were not completely fabricated.

"You are such a slanderer!"

Fang Qin tried to refute in panic, but her increasingly obvious uneasiness made her defense seem pale and powerless.

Su Yu didn't waste any more words, because she knew that the current situation was like an arrow shot from a bow, and the subsequent development would be faced by Zhao and Fang Qin themselves.

Zhao was furious. She pointed her finger at Fang Qin and shouted, "You are a woman with a heart as vicious as a scorpion. After Youfu became like this, not only did you not feel sorry for him, but you abused him even more..."

"I really underestimated your cruelty. He was your husband! You killed him. What good would it do you to be a widow?"

As she spoke, Zhao raised her hand angrily, as if she was ready to teach Fang Qin a lesson.

Fang Qin looked quite embarrassed as she had to protect the child in her arms while blocking Zhao's attack.

She hurriedly defended herself: "Mom, I didn't do that. Don't believe her nonsense."

But her argument sounded weak and unconvincing to everyone.

Just when the tension between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was about to break out into a conflict, the village chief and Jiang Xunzhong quickly intervened to mediate and stop the conflict.

Su Yuze helped Jiang Ziling up at the right time and said calmly: "You guys take your time to deal with the housework, we won't disturb you for now."

The meal was turbulent and the waters had been muddied, so now was undoubtedly the best time to withdraw.

Fang Qin saw Su Yu about to leave, and hurriedly shouted to keep her: "Mom, don't forget the purpose of our visit today. She is deliberately trying to alienate us. Don't be fooled by her!"

After being reminded of this, Zhao's emotions calmed down a little, but her eyes were still fixed on Fang Qin fiercely, and she threatened with gnashing teeth: "I will settle this account with you sooner or later."

Fang Qin showed disdain, and it was obvious that her previous panic was just a momentary failure to cope with the situation. In her heart, she was not afraid of Zhao's threats. Although the storm had temporarily subsided, the undercurrent behind it was still surging, and the peace of the family seemed out of reach.

Zhao stopped Su Yu and Jiang Ziling who were about to leave, and said with a firmness in her voice that could not be ignored: "Wait a minute, both of you stay."

Observing that the fake friendliness on Zhao's face had completely disappeared, Su Yu was no longer polite and asked directly, with undisguised doubt flashing in his eyes: "Is there anything that requires us to stay?"

Facing Su Yu's direct questioning, Zhao obviously realized that her previous gentle strategy had not worked, so she simply put away her disguise, a hint of coldness appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a disdainful snort escaped from her nose: "The Jiang family has never clearly divided the family property. I was inappropriate to expel Ziling back then. Now that Youfu is gone and Changping has unfortunately fallen ill, Ziling is the only man left in the Jiang family who can take up the responsibility."

Her words revealed an unquestionable determination: "Therefore, the burden of raising Da Zhuang and supporting you and me should naturally be shouldered by him alone."

When Su Yu heard this, countless questions arose in his mind, as if he was drawn into an absurd dream.

Such illogical remarks coming from Zhao's mouth made Su Yu wonder if there was something wrong with his ears, or if Zhao's thinking had deviated from the normal track?

"Do you need me to repeat it again to confirm that what you just said is true?" Su Yu's tone contained both anger and a hint of helpless humor.

When Jiang Ziling was considered a burden, Zhao wanted to get rid of him immediately, for fear that he would consume every meal in the family.

Now, Ziling's leg injury has not healed yet, and she has lost her son. She feels isolated and helpless, and she has set her sights on Jiang Ziling again, expecting him to take on the responsibility of raising her grandson Dazhuang.

It's really ironic that once a person's skin is as thick as a city wall, it seems that nothing in the world can stop him; if a tree has no bark, what can hinder its growth?

Facing the silent crowd, Su Yu turned his gaze to Jiang Xunzhong, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "So, do you agree with her?"

Jiang Xunzhong pursed his lips and did not answer.

Although he had learned to resist Zhao, deep down in his heart, Zhao's words seemed to touch a sensitive nerve.

Seeing this, Su Yu turned her gaze to the village chief, Uncle Li, and the old man who had criticized her harshly, hoping to get a different answer from them: "Dear elders, do you also think that this request is reasonable?"

The village chief hesitated to speak. Although he did not agree with this in his heart, he found it difficult to refute in the face of such a realistic situation.

Uncle Li carefully considered his words and said slowly: "Da Zhuang is young and ignorant, and your parents will also grow old one day, you see..."

"This is absolutely impossible."

Jiang Ziling finally spoke, breaking the long silence with a firm attitude.

The old village chief stood up, standing on the moral high ground, and confidently accused Jiang Ziling: "Ziling, respecting your parents and raising your deceased brother's son is the responsibility of a man of the Jiang family. If you refuse, you are unfilial and against moral principles."

"Even if I am accused of being unfilial and treasonous, I will not compromise."

Jiang Ziling's voice was calm and firm. He took Su Yu's hand and planned to leave this troubled place.

Su Yu gently held Jiang Ziling down and motioned him to sit down, his eyes full of understanding and support: "We can't just leave like this, we need to make things clear, otherwise there will be something to talk about."

Then, she faced the crowd, her voice was gentle but revealed a power that could not be ignored: “As the ancients said, a loving mother is a filial son, and brothers are friendly and respectful to their younger brothers.
