Chapter 50: Coming Specifically to Cause Trouble - The Daily Gossip of the Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound

As soon as Mother Li and Mother Sui stepped out, they saw the woman they had met a few times before. They exchanged glances: Well, well! Isn't that the former in-law of the Jiang family?

So, they came specifically to cause trouble?

When Mother Li and the others came out, the middle-aged woman who had been shouting turned to look at them, "Is Wang Honghua at home? Call her out for me!"

"Huh..." Why does her tone sound so entitled?

Although Mother Li did want Mother Jiang to come out—after all, she couldn't let her continue to hide like a turtle and allow this group to cause a scene—their tone was really hard to like.

She bit her tongue, thinking it was better to avoid trouble, and didn't start a conflict with them.

Moreover, with a few strong men on their side and only the elderly, women, and children on hers, they were clearly outmatched. No wonder everyone in the front yard was hiding and not coming out.

After taking a deep breath, Mother Li said, "Hold on, I'll go get her. But you have to promise me that you'll only talk and not resort to violence!" If a fight broke out, things would get messy.

Mother Li looked at the woman, waiting for her to nod in agreement. The woman glanced at the tightly closed doors and windows of the Jiang family, then thought about their purpose for coming here, and finally nodded in agreement.

The woman, Wang Sanni, and Wang Honghua, also known as Mother Jiang, were originally from the same village and had a slight familial connection. Wang Sanni had used this connection to push her daughter in front of Jiang Yang, orchestrating a "hero saves the beauty" scenario that forced Jiang Yang to marry her daughter due to public pressure.

She had suddenly brought people here today because she had just learned last night that Jiang Yang had married a new wife. How could she accept this?

After her daughter passed away, their family had lost a source of income. They had planned to marry their second daughter to Jiang Yang, ensuring they still had a daughter to provide for them and that their grandson wouldn't be bullied. It was a win-win situation. Unfortunately, before they could act, they heard about Jiang Yang's new marriage.

Since the matter was already settled, no amount of fussing could change it. So, they came here specifically to cause trouble, aiming to get compensation from the Jiang family.

The Jiang family had married off their son without notifying the former wife's family, so they had to compensate for the loss.

After seeing her agree, Mother Li hurried to the Jiang family to call someone out, "Mother Jiang, come out quickly! Your former in-laws are here!"

Getting this group to leave as soon as possible was the top priority. After all, in broad daylight, the compound only had Jiang Yang, who was on his wedding leave, hiding in his room and doing nothing. The other men in the compound had gone to work, leaving only a group of elderly women and children to deal with these strong men.

Lin Qing, watching from inside the house, deeply felt how difficult it was for Mother Li.

Every time something happened, she had to stand at the forefront. Every time there was a conflict in the compound, she had to mediate. Ah, it was really, really tough!

Just like now, as Mother Li had expected, the other families in the front yard, seeing Wang Sanni's aggressive stance, didn't dare to come out and get involved. Even Mother Su, who had been quite active recently, was hiding in her room and didn't dare to come out!

But as the compound manager, Mother Li couldn't just ignore this group causing trouble.

Seeing that Mother Jiang still hadn't come out, Mother Li couldn't hold back her anger and shouted, "Mother Jiang, come out now, or I'll take them straight to the factory!"

The subtext: If you don't come out to handle this, I'll take them to the factory to deal with Old Man Jiang.

Then, Lin Qing saw Mother Jiang finally step out of her room after much urging. Indeed, the old fox knows all the tricks—she immediately got to the heart of the matter!

"Oh, Sanni, what brings you here?" Mother Jiang yawned, pretending she had just woken up, so she acted as if she knew nothing about what had happened earlier, trying to gloss over the fact that she had been hiding in her room like a turtle.

"Don't act like you don't know! Don't think I don't know you've been hiding in your room all this time!" Wang Sanni shouted, hands on her hips.

"No, no, I just woke up! I was injured recently, so I've been resting at home most of the time. I must have been sleeping deeply and didn't hear you calling me!" As she spoke, Mother Jiang raised her injured arm to prove she wasn't lying.

"Enough, let's cut to the chase. I won't waste time with you! Let's talk about my former son-in-law marrying a new wife. Why didn't you notify our family?" Wang Sanni didn't want to engage in meaningless chatter and went straight to the point.

Lin Qing couldn't help but lightly smack her forehead. Oh dear, she had almost forgotten that Jiang Yang was remarried, so he still had a former wife's family. It seemed this former wife's family wasn't easy to deal with!

Ugh... She had to thank Lin Shu for snagging her blind date. Otherwise, she would have been the one stepping into this mess today. Once again, she couldn’t help but feel grateful!

Mother Jiang was snubbed, her face froze for a moment, and she cursed inwardly: Damn it, your daughter, who always took from her husband's family to give to her own, is dead, and instead of quickly finding a good wife for my son, are you waiting to send a second one over?

Look, after being in-laws for several years, Mother Jiang could guess a thing or two about Wang Sanni's intentions.

"Oh, how can you say such a thing? I was just thinking that your family lives far away, and the second son's marriage was arranged hastily, so I didn't think to notify you, fearing that you would rush over and tire yourselves out," Mother Jiang said, pretending to be considerate.

"Nonsense, you were clearly afraid that our family would make trouble, so you didn't tell us. How could you do this? We are the maternal family of Da Hu and Er Hu, how could you not inform us before bringing in a new wife? What if the new wife doesn't treat Da Hu and Er Hu well?"

Mother Jiang looked at her earnest expression and couldn't help but twitch her lips. Damn, she knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Haha, don't worry, Da Hu and Er Hu are my own flesh and blood, how could I let them be bullied? You can rest assured!"

"How is that the same? I say, the child's aunt should move in, let your son-in-law marry the child's aunt, so the children won't be mistreated, why don't you understand?"

Everyone: "..." Wow, so that's the plan!

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law? They really have some nerve!

Mother Jiang sneered, she knew, she knew that Wang Sanni's family had this in mind.

Hmph! Luckily, she had already set up the second son on a blind date, and now the wife is married, everything is settled, what can they do now?
