Chapter 94: Chapter 89 Sisters-in-law Enter the Scene
Li Yuchun was taken aback and asked Luo Cuilan, "What do you mean by that?"
Luo Cuilan mimicked Li Yuchun’s earlier demeanor, laughed loudly with sarcasm in her voice,
"Don’t pretend you don’t know that your daughter Fang Xiu was involved with our Zhiming before her marriage, and not only at home, even the hills behind your house have witnessed it countless times, people in the village have been talking, haven’t you heard?"
Li Yuchun had, of course, heard these rumors, and she knew everything about her own daughter.
However, her daughter Fang Xiu was lucky, as there was no solid evidence, Li Yuchun resolutely denied it, "You believe in such rumors?"
Luo Cuilan pouted, then turned to Fang Xiu and said, "Is it just a rumor? Ask your own daughter, she almost admitted it last time."
"Even if I admitted, so what? No matter what happened before, I’m now married to Zhiming anyway. There’s nothing left for others to gossip about. But what about you?" Fang Xiu’s words were as harsh as they could be,
"They from Zhang family say they’ll hold the wedding feast during New Year, maybe they just think you are embarrassing and don’t want you anymore."
"Fang Xiu, I must tear your mouth today for talking so unpleasantly." Luo Cuilan couldn’t stand hearing anyone say the Zhang family despised her, Fang Xiu’s words stoked her anger straight to her head.
While shouting, she charged directly at Fang Xiu.
Everyone hadn’t expected the pregnant Luo Cuilan to be so agitated; they were stunned for a while before remembering to separate the two.
In this scuffle, Fang Xiu was actually at a disadvantage.
Because Fang Xiu was still mindful of the child in Luo Cuilan’s stomach, afraid to stir up serious trouble, she didn’t fight back, just fended off Luo Cuilan as she slapped without considering the force.
After the two were separated, Luo Cuilan’s hair was a bit messy, but otherwise she was fine.
While Fang Xiu’s cheeks were red and swollen from where Luo Cuilan had hit her.
Zhou Yunmei, seeing this, felt relieved, feeling that someone had avenged her.
She pulled Luo Cuilan aside with a barely concealable smirk and feigned reprimand, "You child, why so agitated, don’t forget the child in your belly."
"Zhou Yunmei, come on, tell the truth, do your family still want to go on like this? If you don’t, call your Zhiming back here, might as well go to the township government and get a divorce." Li Yuchun, distressed by her daughter’s situation, said this and then began looking for Luo Zhiming,
"Where is Zhiming, with such a commotion going on at home, where has he gone?"
Zhou Yunmei gave a sarcastic laugh, "Zhiming saw your daughter and got annoyed; he went out early in the morning."
"Goodness, how everyone in your Luo family bullies us, none of you care about my daughter at all, we can’t go on like this." Li Yuchun was not someone to be trifled with, she took Fang Xiu and headed towards the door,
"Xiu’er, let’s go, go to the township government and get a divorce, we are leaving right now, it’s also good to show them the injuries on your face, let’s see what the township government has to say."
"Mother-in-law, please, please, it’s not such a big deal, why bother going to the township government," Luo Dashan quickly tried to appease Li Yuchun with a smile.
At first, Zhou Yunmei said she wanted to cause an uproar at the commune secretary’s, but now she is even talking about going to the township government. If it really gets blown up over this matter, it would only disgrace the Lin Luo family in the end.
Before the daughter is even married, she’s gotten pregnant, and the affair of the daughter-in-law and son at the back hill is known to all. Once this matter is settled, they wouldn’t be able to stay in this place either.
Done speaking, he then persuaded Li Yuchun, "These squabbles between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which household doesn’t experience them? No one really talks about taking it straight to the township government."
Seeing Luo Dashan speaking up, Fang Ping’an, who had been silent until now, also stepped forward.
Though his face bore a slight smile, his eyes coldly looked at Luo Dashan as he said, "In-laws, typically this is a matter among the women, and I wouldn’t intervene, but since you’ve spoken up, I think I should also speak a fair word."
"Alright, in-law, go ahead."
Fang Ping’an suddenly pushed Fang Xiu towards Zhou Yunmei’s direction, "This matter between my Fang Xiu and your mother-in-law, no matter what, I admit it is our Fang Xiu’s fault. After all, the mother-in-law is the elder. A daughter-in-law really shouldn’t raise her hand against her mother-in-law; it’s indeed my failure in educating Fang Xiu properly. Later, I’ll definitely have her apologize to your mother-in-law, she absolutely must."
After Fang Ping’an said this, he also questioned Zhou Yunmei and Luo Dashan, "In-laws, mother-in-law, don’t you think my words make sense?"
Zhou Yunmei saw that Fang Ping’an seemed to be speaking for her, so she naturally nodded vigorously, "The in-law is indeed a reasonable person, these words are truly convincing."
Fang Pingying, listening at the side, didn’t speak but rolled her eyes internally. Why is it that Zhou Yunmei, who seems astute, fails to see clearly at crucial moments? Could it be that she genuinely thought Fang Ping’an came over to speak fairness for her?
It’s not that Fang Pingying was taking Zhou Yunmei’s side, but she simply couldn’t stand to see her being so simple-minded.
As expected, upon hearing this, Fang Ping’an gave a faint smile and nodded to her, "Since the mother-in-law also says that I am reasonable, that’s the best."
Then, he started talking about the issues between Fang Xiu and Luo Cuilan, "But, was your family’s Cuilan’s action earlier not too excessive? They are of the same generation, and moreover, we all as elders are present. They could have talked it out properly, how could she suddenly resort to physical action?"
"This..." Zhou Yunmei hadn’t come around from Fang Ping’an’s previous supportive words, and stayed dazed for a while before slowly responding, "Isn’t it because your daughter-in-law and daughter said things that were too unpleasant?"
Fang Ping’an, with a smile-not-smile look, said, "True, those words spoken by my Xiu’er and my wife were a bit harsh, but they weren’t made up, they are factual. Recently, everyone in the village has been talking about it, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the village entrance early some day and listen for yourself."
Then, he casually added, "If one must resort to hitting over such matters, I think Cuilan would have to kill the whole village to settle it."
Fang Ping’an’s words were indeed fair, and no one could refute them. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Even the normally most unreasonable Zhou Yunmei was left speechless, and for a moment, the yard fell silent.
After waiting a bit, Fang Ping’an spoke again, "In-laws, since we both came here to resolve matters today, let’s not make more fuss. Let’s discuss how to properly settle today’s issue."
"How would you suggest we resolve it?" Zhou Yunmei asked with a serious face.
"We are all one family, naturally we can’t bring up matters involving money, it’s just about a squabble." Fang Ping’an thought for a moment and said,
"Like this, I’ll first have my Fang Xiu apologize for physically confronting you today and promise that if the mother-in-law has something to say next time, she must not resort to hitting, otherwise it’s not just you getting upset, I will personally come and correct her."
"In-law, does this sound acceptable to you?" Fang Ping’an specifically asked Zhou Yunmei.
