Chapter 51 Purpose - The Daily Gossip Life of a Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound

"Yang-ge?" Lin Shu anxiously looked at the man beside her from behind the window.

Jiang Yang thought she was afraid that these people would force them to divorce, so he quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, my mom will take care of it. There's nothing to worry about."

Lin Shu: "... " That's right, in her past life, she had never heard of any younger sister-in-law, so in this life, there definitely wouldn't be one. Thinking of this, her anxious heart finally settled down!

"Yang-ge, are you sure it's okay for you not to go out?"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Yang had no doubt his mother could handle this.

...

Lin Qing thought Wang Sanni and her crew were utterly shameless. The girl's parents were still alive, and after their daughter died, they wanted to arrange for another daughter to marry the son-in-law. What a twisted game they were playing!

Once again, she felt immensely grateful that Lin Shu had stepped in. She wondered if Lin Shu regretted it now?

Thinking of this, Lin Qing's gaze turned towards another room in the west wing. Tsk tsk, looks like they were keeping an eye on the commotion outside too!

Jiang Yang was being pretty spineless. A grown man hiding behind his mother, not daring to come out. After all, it was his former in-laws, and he didn't come out to resolve the issue, just hid behind like a coward. What a spineless man.

After Mother Jiang stepped out, Mother Li backed off to where Mother Sui and the others were standing, not planning to get too involved. After all, this was their family matter. She just planned to watch and make sure they didn't fight.

Right then, the bystanders were stunned by Wang Sanni's audacity!

Did they hear that right?

Jiang Lao Er's former mother-in-law wanted to arrange for him to marry his sister-in-law?

Just how much did they adore Jiang Lao Er as a son-in-law? And how much did they dislike their own daughter? To be so desperate to marry their daughter off to a divorced man with kids?

It's not that Jiang Yang is bad, but basically, no one with any sense would let their daughter marry a divorced man with children. Being a stepmom is no walk in the park!

Speaking of which, why on earth would the Lin family agree to marry Lin Shu off to become a stepmother?

Questions buzzed in their heads, and for a moment, the courtyard fell silent except for Wang Sanni's voice.

"Mother-in-law, don't you agree? If Er Tao marries into the family, she'll surely take good care of Da Hu and Er Hu and handle everything at home!"

Seeing that Wang Sanni had revealed her intentions, Mother Jiang no longer planned to beat around the bush, "This just isn't right. It's not proper for a brother-in-law and sister-in-law to marry! This is not ancient times when a man could marry his wife's sister after his wife died! Such outdated thinking is unacceptable!"

For the first time, Lin Qing felt that Mother Jiang was so cultured!

"What's improper about it? Is there anything wrong with what I said? No one can care for children as well as their own aunt!" Wang Sanni didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Mother Jiang quickly refused. Her family didn't want another sister-in-law who would support her brother, "Hey, you can't see it that way. My second son is already married, and it's official with the marriage certificate. It's recognized by the state. He can't marry his sister-in-law anymore!"

"How can this be? I've already promised Er Tao."

"That's your family's business. My second son got married yesterday. You should find a good match for his sister-in-law. Don't let this matter delay her."

Seeing her words being rebutted again, Wang Sanni didn't care anymore and started shouting, "I don't care. Now many of my neighbors know about this, and Er Tao's reputation is ruined. Your family has to take responsibility."

"Yes, take responsibility." The big men behind her also chimed in.

They glared angrily at Mother Jiang, who couldn't help but take two steps back under their gaze.

"That's your family's problem, what's it got to do with us?" Mother Jiang couldn't take it anymore and shouted back at them.

"How is this not your business? If you hadn't let Jiang Laoer get married, my daughter Ertao could have married into your family, and she wouldn't have lost her reputation over this. You have to take responsibility!"

"Get out of here, that's your daughter, not mine!" Mother Jiang shouted loudly.

"I don't care, either you make Jiang Laoer divorce and marry my Ertao, or you compensate us, compensate... yes, compensate for my Ertao's damaged reputation!" Wang Sanni finally revealed her ultimate goal!

Lin Qing, watching from behind her window, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. These people really know their stuff, don't they? Compensation for reputational damage? Where did they get that from?

But does such a thing even exist?

It seems these people came to the Jiang family today just for money, and they won't leave without getting it.

Tsk tsk, I wonder how Mother Jiang will deal with this?

Mother Li and Lin Qing were just as shocked. Wow, such a fancy term has come up?

They've never heard of this so-called compensation for reputational damage. Does it really exist?

Mother Jiang was baffled. She now clearly sees that all this commotion is just about money.

"Get out of here, compensation for reputational damage? Nonsense, I've never heard of such a thing. If you want money, just say so directly, why bring up such rubbish? And you want us to pay you? Dream on!"

Wang Sanni had a few men with fierce looks step forward, trying to scare Mother Jiang, "You have to pay up, whether you like it or not, otherwise... just you wait!"

"What? Are you trying to threaten me?" Mother Jiang was indeed a bit nervous inside, but she didn't show it, "Go ahead, hit me if you dare, preferably hard enough to land me in the hospital, then you'll have to pay through the nose!"

Mother Li: "..." Do you really want to get beaten?

Lin Qing scratched her head, feeling that this scene seemed somewhat familiar!

Others: Are they really going to fight?

Wang Sanni was indeed intimidated for a moment, but only for a moment. Her family is notoriously unruly, they wouldn't be swayed by Mother Jiang's threats!

"Do you think we don't dare? Hmph! If you don't compensate, I'll... I'll have them smash your house!" She might not dare to hit someone, but she dares to smash things, doesn't she?

Mother Jiang's stern face stiffened. Wow, so unreasonable?

Lin Qing: Tsk tsk, it seems Mother Jiang has met her match this time. She thought Mother Jiang was already unreasonable enough, but it turns out she was mistaken, there's someone even more unreasonable!

Mother Jiang looked at the burly men, indeed not daring to confront them head-on. Seeing their unyielding attitude, she knew this matter wouldn't be easily resolved!

Finally, reluctantly, she thought if the amount wasn't too much, she would just pay to avoid disaster. With a dark face, she asked, "So, how much do you want?"

Wang Sanni saw that Mother Jiang's attitude had softened and knew her strategy had succeeded. Although she wanted to ask for a lot, she also knew that the Jiang family wouldn't give too much.

So, after her eyes rolled around a few times, she said, "Well, I heard you gave your new daughter-in-law 66 yuan as a bride price, which is much more than what we got for my daughter Datao. I won't ask for much, just compensate us 66 yuan for Ertao!"
