As expected, after hearing this, Lu Chaoyun's voice rose eight points, "What did you say? I bullied your mother, you really know how to talk. Now I understand that these words were taught to you by your mother. I have always been so good to you. I gave you a lot of delicious food, but now it seems that I am bullying you." Lu Chaoyun became more and more angry as he spoke, as if he had vented all the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in the past.

"Why didn't you say that I was bullying you when you took my things? Take off all the clothes you were wearing, these fabrics were my dowry. I was reluctant to use them myself, and gave them to you with good intentions, but ended up bullying you." Lu Chaoyun pointed at Jiang Hongxing and was shaking with anger, and he blurted out all the words he had been accumulating.

"Second sister-in-law, you have forgotten it a long time ago, right? When you first got married, the neighbors looked down on you. It was because I said good things to you and took you everywhere to communicate and get along with others that you gradually integrated into the group. Have you forgotten all this?"

"Also, I want to ask you. When did I stop my sister-in-law from coming back to her parents' home? When did I say that she only went back to her parents' home to take advantage of the situation? Your parents' home is close to hers, and no matter how good your relationship is, it has nothing to do with me. But you made up rumors about me for no reason, and I won't agree. We have to make things clear today. It's not over until we make it clear." An object was thrown to the ground in the yard, and from the sound it should be a bench. The mother was about to come up forcefully. Once she sat down, she would not be able to escape today unless the second aunt gave her a reason that convinced her.

My mother has a strong personality and is very stubborn. If she is given a reason, she will fight to the end, and she will not give in even if she is right.

She didn't know whether her character was good or bad. In her heart, her mother's only shortcoming was that she was too patriarchal and did not care enough about her and her sisters, and even looked down on them.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, wondering if her mother's temperament could change in this life.

Jiang Hongping still remembers her previous life. In the third year of Yuanhe, the county came to collect miscellaneous taxes. At that time, only her mother and father were at home.

All the money in the house was locked in grandma's room. My mother begged the servants humbly to wait for a while while my father went out to borrow some money. The servants looked ferocious and refused to accept any argument. They took the only donkey in the family and left.

At that time, this donkey was the most valuable and important labor force in the family.

If it falls into their hands, it will be like throwing a meat bun at a dog and never come back.

Lu Chaoyun controlled his temper and chased them half a block, and at first he argued with them in a low voice.

Later, she saw that the servants ignored her and looked disgusted.

She grew up under the protection of her brothers and sisters, and her eldest sister loved her like her own daughter.

When had she ever been so humiliated before? She got angry and started to curse at them. It is said that the two servants had faces as gloomy as ink and would have drawn their knives if the village chief had not persuaded them.

People close to her advised her to bear with it, saying that she could buy another donkey after it was taken away. If she really angered the officials, they would make trouble for her.

Lu Chaoyun got angry and thought he was right.

It’s not like he didn’t give them money, so he continued to chase the servants and make a fuss.

Later, Jiang Yuzhou borrowed money in time and said a lot of nice things before he was able to exchange the money for the donkey.

Fortunately, there were only two servants who came to collect taxes at that time. They were too few in number to dare to attack Lu Chaoyun, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Jiang Hongping felt that her mother dared to argue like this because she had the confidence behind her.

For a married woman, the confidence comes either from her husband or her parents' family.

Jiang Yuzhou has no say in the family, and Lu Chaoyun's confidence comes from her mother's family.

Lu Chaoyun's eldest sister Lu Chaoxia married into the Li family in Donggang Village, which is adjacent to Xigang Village where the Jiang family is located.

Lu Chaoxia's family had no parents-in-law and little labor, so Lu Chaoyun went to help them after she gave birth to her first child.

Lu Chaoyun came to Lu Chaoxia at the age of eight to look after their children and cook. She lived in their home until she got married at the age of sixteen and raised her five sons.

Later, the Li family opened a weaving workshop, and their lives improved. The five children regarded Lu Chaoyun as their mother. Now the three older children have started their own families, and the weaving workshop has grown bigger and bigger. Women from the surrounding villages all work in the workshop.

This is also part of the reason why Lu Chaoyun is so popular in the village. With her help, they can find a job for them.

Most importantly, she has a promising nephew.

In the second year of Yuanhe, the sixteen-year-old Lu Chengze, who was studying in the county school, was noticed by a teacher who came to the county from the county government to visit his relatives. He was recommended to the county government to be a servant, a close official of the prefect.

Although Lu Chaoyun never mentioned it, the village was well-informed. Because of this relationship, the villagers treated Lu Chaoyun with some respect.

In addition, she herself has a straightforward personality, speaks quickly, has no ulterior motives, and never puts on airs towards others.

The women in the village often came to her to chat, and they all got along very happily.

Today, Fang Lanxiang's cleverness annoyed her. Given her personality, she probably won't let it go easily.

Seeing that she would not give up until she achieved her goal, Fang Lanxiang wiped her tears and defended herself, "Third sister-in-law, I don't know where you heard it from. I have never done these things. I am a remarried person and I just want to live a good life. I really have never said bad things about you in front of my sister-in-law. Believe me."

Lu Chaoyun sneered, "Trust you? If I trust you again, I'd be a fool. I've always thought that we are a family, and I'd rather suffer a little loss than argue with you. Today I used an egg, but you refused to give in. Don't forget, this family has not been divided yet. The food and drink are all from the public, you want to take it all for yourself? No way."

She snorted, "I don't want the clothes anymore. I'll just take this as a lesson for myself. I also find things that have been used by others dirty. I'll just wait here for my parents-in-law to come back from the fields and talk to them in front of them."

Fang Lanxiang didn't expect that her actions today would offend this person who was always polite to her. She stopped crying and racked her brains to think of a strategy to deal with her parents-in-law later. The yard became quiet for a while.

Jiang Hongping's fever had subsided. She stretched her legs and feet and tried to sit up.

As soon as she propped herself up and sat down, she heard the sound of the yard gate, and then people came in one after another.

It should be grandpa and grandma who have come back from the fields.

"Why are you all sitting in the yard? Is the meal ready?" The familiar gentle voice belonged to Grandma Qi.

She was greeted with silence, no one answered.

Qi's voice became stiff, "What? The meal is not ready yet?"

Lu Chaoyun's voice rang out, "Mom, I did it yesterday, but I shouldn't do it today."

A man's voice rang out, "Third brother's wife, your second sister-in-law is pregnant, what's wrong with you helping her cook? Is it necessary for a family to be so haggling?" The voice belonged to the second uncle Jiang Yuqing.

Lu Chaoyun chuckled, "Look at what my second brother said, is she pregnant with my child? Why should I help her?"

Perhaps shocked by Lu Chaoyun's words, Jiang Yuqing's tone of dissatisfaction rose by three points, "Third sister-in-law, look at what you are saying? She is your second sister-in-law. She is pregnant with our Jiang family's child."

There was a sound of something falling over, and Lu Chaoyun said in a cold voice, "Your child belongs to the Jiang family, isn't my child also from the Jiang family? My Hongping has been lying in bed for three days, and I took an egg to make her something to eat. Your wife didn't want to buy it anyway, saying that she bought it to nourish her body. Mother, when did we separate? How come I didn't know that food is divided into different levels?"

Qi said quickly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did we separate? Isn't it shameful for the two of you to quarrel like this over an egg?"

"She, as an elder, doesn't feel ashamed to compete with children for food. Why should I be afraid?" Lu Chaoyun became angry again when he heard this.

A rough male voice sounded with anger, "I say, third daughter-in-law, your second sister-in-law is pregnant with your second brother's child, what's wrong with eating an egg? You are still arguing with her. Your second brother finally has a child, Hongping just fell down, what's the point of making up for it." Jiang Hongping narrowed her eyes slightly. The voice was from the old man of the Jiang family, Jiang Lingye.

In his previous life, he favored the eldest wife and never took his father seriously. If he had not been unwilling to help the third wife after his brother got into trouble in his previous life, and had forced his father to divorce his mother, his mother would not have gone crazy, and the three wives would not have broken up so quickly.

As for the eldest wife, facing the disaster in their family, they just watched coldly and wished they could step forward and step on them.

There was a coldness in Jiang Hongping's eyes. She clenched her hands tightly, and white appeared between her knuckles.

The causes in the previous life will lead to the consequences in this life. I will deal with all of you one by one.
