"You can kneel down before me now and beg me. Then steal all the Xie family's money to open a shop for me. It's not too late."

"Dream on," Jiang Zhiyun laughed. "Elder sister, you've never changed when it comes to being so clueless!"

She abandoned her previous naive demeanor and looked behind Jiang Zhiwan.

He said, "Aunt Hong, could you please bring the old clan chief out?"

"This embarrassing situation really needs the old clan chief's help to handle," Jiang Zhiyun said with a humble demeanor, her face full of smiles.

Before Zhao Guifen and her daughter could react, Aunt Hong brought over the old patriarch of the Jiang family who was in charge of the family genealogy.

Jiang Zhiyun walked over and looked at the old clan chief: "Uncle, now you see for yourself how much my biological mother and elder sister despise me..."

At this point, Jiang Zhiyun pretended to choke up.

The old clan chief nodded, then shook his head: "What a tragedy! It's not easy for you, a child."

When Yunniang was very young, she went to the old clan chief and said she wanted to leave the family, saying that her parents hated her and her older sister bullied her.

At that time, the old clan chief thought it was just a child throwing a tantrum and didn't take it to heart.

He even told Jiang Zhiyun a lot about filial piety.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhiyun was beaten and injured all over her body. She came to the old clan chief again to say that she wanted to leave home. The old clan chief was moved with compassion. However, later, Jiang Laosan and Zhao Guifen came up and said that Yunniang had injured herself and that she was a very scheming child who plotted against her parents.

Back then, Yunniang was beaten half to death by the old clan chief in front of the whole village, still under the pretext of being unfilial.

Now, the old clan chief only feels guilty, even feeling that his hands are stained with blood.

He looked at Jiang Zhiyun with trembling hands.

Yunniang smiled and bowed: "I was ignorant to ask the old clan chief to remove me from the Jiang family genealogy twice before. But now that I am married, my family has been looking for me time and time again, and even asked me to use my husband's family's money to subsidize my own family."

"And now you still say such... inhuman things to me." Jiang Zhiyun lowered her head, feigning sobs.

"Now, Yunniang makes her request once again."

Jiang Zhiyun knelt on the ground, her voice clear and earnest, her back straight: "Yunniang requests to be removed from the Jiang family register! From now on, I am just Jiang Zhiyun."

"I'd rather be a Xie family woman than a Jiang family woman."

"Alright!" The old clan chief nodded. "We're better off without parents like that. But from now on, you can keep the surname Jiang Zhiyun. As for your parents, I, this old man, will take care of it for you. Don't even think about asking you for anything in the future."

"As for Zhao Guifen, she is our Jiang family's daughter-in-law. Now that she has become so vicious to our daughter, I will discipline her according to the clan rules. As for your elder sister, Jiang Zhiwan, I will also make things clear with the Xu family."

"Let them understand what kind of person they've married."

“Our Jiang family has been commoners for generations, but we have always been honest and law-abiding. Now, we have produced such cowards as your parents, and I even heard it with my own ears. The punishment they deserve will be handed over to me, the clan chief!”

"As for you, Yunniang, live well in the Xie family. If you feel unwell or are bullied, you can come to me. Your parents are not your support, but I, the head of the Jiang family, always will be!"

This can be considered compensation for Jiang Zhiyun.

Although such compensation is far from enough.

Jiang Zhiyun nodded, expressing her gratitude to the clan leader. The reason she was able to accurately find the clan leader to resolve this matter was largely because in her past life, the clan leader had always been a good person and had even helped her a great deal.

Now, we've avoided many detours.

Being able to get rid of Zhao Guifen and Jiang Zhiwan through this incident made Yunniang feel relieved.

At least I won't have to endure the noise next to my ears anymore, and I can have some peace and quiet for a while.

Zhao Guifen was about to rush over again: "Jiang Zhiyun! You are unfilial!"

"You deliberately set me up, making me say such things in front of the old clan chief. You're a vicious snake. I've wasted my time raising you!"

"I disagree! Why should the girl I raised be declared not mine now?" she said, looking at the clan leader. "I want her to support me from now on, and for me to spend all the money she earns!"

"That's bad enough, but she also has to support my son's future marriage and house construction! How can Yunniang just leave like this?"

"Old clan leader, you've lost all humanity!"

The old patriarch took his cane and slammed it down on her back: "You wretch! How much shame have you brought to our Jiang family?"

This whole thing has blown up completely today, and it's really embarrassing.

At this moment, people of all ages and surnames from the village came to join in the fun.

Seeing everyone arrive, Aunt Hong kindly told them about Zhao Guifen's vicious face earlier.

He told everything to others without missing a single word.

"Oh dear, this Zhao Guifen, I always thought she was being wronged! Now she's here to bully my daughter. How can someone like her deserve to stand here?"

"They still want to smear their clan leader right now! The Jiang family is the most powerful family in Yongquan Village, let's see who lets her off the hook now!"

"What a disgrace! Tell that Jiang Laosan right now! His wife and daughter have done such a terrible thing, coming directly to the Xie family to cause trouble, and even demanding that his second daughter give them money from the Xie family. How can they have the nerve to do that?"

Aunt Hong nodded: "But Yunniang rejected him!"

"Leaving aside other things, I think Yunniang did a good job in completely severing ties with her parents."

"You may hate them, but you can't hate our Yunniang!"

Anyway, what others don't know is that Aunt Hong has a very good impression of Yunniang.

Others didn't know, but she thought Yunniang was kind and smart. Otherwise, she would have been killed by her mother.

Aunt Hong is good at manipulating people's emotions and always likes to set the tone.

Listening to the commotion, Zhao Guifen knew she had completely lost face.

There's nothing I can do about being angry right now... How did things get to this point?

She didn't understand at all.

Everything was clearly fine. Yunniang wasn't this stubborn before. Now she suddenly wants to cut off all contact with her family, and the women around her used to have a good relationship with her.

Now everyone's criticizing?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, the clan chief hit her with the stick again: "That's enough!"

"Go back to your husband immediately and apologize. The elders of the Jiang family are all waiting for you in the ancestral hall."

"Yunniang," the clan chief looked at her, "I know your parents have saddened you, so you don't need to go to the ancestral hall to inscribe your name. Just stay home and rest."

"Leave this matter to me."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded, knowing that the clan chief was a meticulous old man and would not make any mistakes.

He nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle."

"Yunniang will surely be grateful for today's kindness in the future."

"And also have the witness of the village elders. We just made mushroom soup and some homemade buns, so everyone come in and eat together."

Jiang Zhiyun smiled, and Zhang Shi opened the door at the right time, taking out the steamed buns that Yunniang had made earlier.

Not good at talking to people, he shrank behind Yunniang after handing the item to her, wearing a stiff smile.
