The angrier everyone got, the more arrogant Zhao became. She finally realized that even if she spoke nicely to these idiots in the village, they would not stand on her side. She might as well just do whatever she wanted.

Anyway, each one is poorer than the other, and I can't expect them to help me with anything. There's nothing to be afraid of if I offend them all.

At worst, we can just fall out with each other, so that when we become rich, these poor guys won’t come to us to ask for money!

Seeing Zhao's shameless look, Li Manying spat fiercely. It was so unlucky that she didn't even care about the reputation and face of her two children. What good would it be to fall out with the villagers!

He could only smile and say, "Aunties and aunts, calm down and talk it over. Second brother, sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Everyone thought that Li Manying was not a good person. She was usually mean and even sneaked to Cheng Yue's house to steal a secret recipe last time. But after hearing this and comparing her with Zhao, she didn't seem so annoying.

Cheng Yue looked at Zhao with a chill, "What happened? You have to ask mother-in-law, why did you run to our mountain, why did you steal the children's wild vegetables, why did you have the heart to push the children down the mountain!"

The corner of Li Manying's mouth twitched. As expected, she guessed right. She had told Zhao several times not to provoke the second brother's family, but she just wouldn't listen.

Now that Cheng Yue came to call her to task, she was really scared. She felt that the only two taels of silver she had left could not be kept.

Zhao was not afraid of others, but she was still scared when facing Cheng Yue. She bluffed and said, "What do you mean your mountain? It belongs to me. Why can you go there but I can't?

These two little girls are so reluctant to give even a bit of wild vegetables that they don’t even know how to respect their elders. If their reputation of being unfilial to their elders gets out, they will never get married!

I was doing this for their own good, so I only gave them a little lesson. If it was someone else, I wouldn't bother to help them. It was their own fault that they fell because their legs were weak and they couldn't stand steadily. How could it be my fault?"

Cheng Yue was so angry that she laughed. She hated this kind of talk the most. I am your something, so I care about you. If it was a stranger, I would not care about this kind of talk.

It's a joke. Try to care about it, stranger. I'll see if I give you a slap in the face!

"We can take care of the children ourselves, so you don't need to worry about them in the future. They are still young and cannot bear your teachings.

You just made a slight move and the children almost fell off the mountain. If you had been stronger, I'm afraid they would have been in court!"

Chen An closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he was filled with coldness. His mother was really unrepentant. She was like this when she killed her father, and now she was harming his children again!

It was a pity that it took him so many years to recognize his mother's true face. He even expected to get a little maternal love before. He was so wrong!

Zhao pointed at Chen An's nose in disbelief, "You actually threatened your own mother to go to court?

Don’t even mention that these two damn girls are not dead. Even if they are dead, you can’t sue me. If you sue your mother as a son, you will also suffer a lot! "

Dasheng ruled the world with filial piety, and a son telling his mother on others was considered unfilial and the offender would be punished by beating. How dare you threaten her like this for two worthless girls?

Chen An said word by word: "It is the duty of parents to love their children. If my children are bullied, I will naturally seek justice. There is nothing to be afraid of in court!"

"you you!"

Zhao's eyelids twitched and she took two steps back. She really couldn't imagine that Chen An would actually go to this extent for two worthless girls.

When the villagers heard this, they not only did not think there was anything wrong, but they felt very happy and even breathed more smoothly.

They were not afraid that Chen An would set an example and their own children would follow suit. As long as they did not treat their children harshly, the children would naturally treat them well.

Zhao has brought this upon herself! She deserves it!

"Mrs. Zhao, I treat you as my elder. Look at what you have done. How did Cuicui offend you? Why did you grab her hand like this?"

Zhao Xiangxiu just came over and squeezed to the front. She grabbed Cuicui's hand, took a look at it, and started shouting at Zhao, not even calling her aunt.

"Oh, how did it become like this, Zhao, didn't you just say you were going to teach your granddaughter a lesson? How come you even taught Cuicui a lesson?"

Chen Tong spoke at the right time, with tears in his eyes, "It was Sister Cuicui who saw Grandma was about to push us down, so she came to protect us. Grandma couldn't bear to see it, so she beat Sister Cuicui as well. If Sister Cuicui hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid her face would have been scratched!"

Cuicui’s eyes widened. Although Zhao scratched her, she didn’t scratch her face!

But seeing Chen Tong winking at her, she decided to keep her lips pursed and say nothing.

"What? Aunt Zhao, are you going to ruin my Cuicui's appearance? How could there be such a bad person like you in Houshui Village!"

Zhao Xiangxiu rushed forward while shouting. Zhao was so scared that she trembled and hurriedly hid behind Li Manying.

Li Manying moved even faster and dodged to the side. She had been beaten and was scared, and didn't want to be hit again.

"Ouch!"

Zhao had no way to avoid it and was punched on the shoulder. If Zhao Xiangxiu hadn't been afraid of being blackmailed by Zhao and held back her strength, she would have been knocked down by the punch.

The women reacted and immediately stepped forward to grab Zhao Xiangxiu, saying angrily to Zhao: "Look at what you have done. If you don't apologize and compensate, we will not hold her anymore!"

"What are you pulling? You hurt someone's child, she deserves the pain!"

Zhao was really scared now. If Chen An and Cheng Yue didn't say anything, Zhao Xiangxiu would really fight with her!

"Take these two baskets of wild vegetables back and consider them as compensation to you!"

"This originally belonged to someone else. How can this be considered compensation?"

Zhao was speechless after being questioned, Cheng Yue said: "If mother-in-law doesn't know what compensation is, then I will help you figure it out.

The children were injured, and you have to pay for their medical treatment. Also, when the mother-in-law took the wild vegetables from the children, didn't she say that the pigs and chickens at home had nothing to eat?

Since you can't feed the child, you can just give it to us as compensation, so that the mother-in-law won't have to use this as an excuse to teach the child a lesson in the future."

Zhao screamed, "How can that be?!" After the family split up, there was only a pig and two old hens left in the house. Isn't this cutting off her flesh?

"If mother doesn't want to compensate, then let's break off the engagement!" Chen An said in a deep voice.

The villagers were so shocked by this sudden change that they were speechless. Why was the engagement going to be severed?

Li Manying was also shocked. The second brother was really bold. If the relationship was severed, there would be no more protection from the clan members!

As soon as the head of the village arrived, he heard the words "severing the relationship" and took a few steps forward, "Chen An, you..."

"Break off the engagement if you will!" Zhao interrupted the head of the village. It's just a breakup of the engagement, what's there to be afraid of? You can't rely on me anyway.

This is to prevent Jin Sun from becoming famous and having the Second Brother’s family come up to him like leeches to suck his blood.

The head of the village glanced at Zhao, then looked at Chen An's expression. It was fine. Things had already gotten ugly when the family was divided, and now Zhao was courting death again. It was only a matter of time before the relationship was severed.
