Cen Hong stood under the eaves, his hands clasped behind his back, the aura around him screaming ‘keep away’.
His gaze fell on the Sun woman, his brow was furrowed, “If I heard correctly, this old woman is Miss Qiao’s grandmother.”
“Your Honor, yes, she is. However, the county magistrate has already severed the kinship between them a few days ago. This Sun woman has no relation with Miss Qiao at all,” Tong Sanlang replied respectfully.
“Severed the kinship?”
“Yes, for over ten years, the Sun woman has been on countless wicked doings. Now, she has not only been severed from Miss Qiao, but also driven out of Anping Village. Her current state is fully deserved.”
“Oh? What kind of wicked doings led her to be severed from the relationship by the county magistrate and driven out of the village?” Cen Hong asked in curiosity.
Before Tong Sanlang had a chance to respond, the Sun woman cried out as if she had seen her savior, “Your Honor, I was wrong…!”
Her cry was abruptly silenced by a sharp, loud slap.
Qiao Qinghe’s face turned red. When she looked at him incredulously, he slapped her again, “Foolish woman! With all that you’ve done, even if you cracked your skull, it wouldn’t be enough! Get out!”
As he spoke, he grabbed the Sun woman’s body and began to drag her out.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang let go of Sun woman, and she was immediately dragged out of the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Cen Hong’s face darkened.
He looked at the followers sitting at the entrance of the hall and ordered, “Go, bring her back.”
The attendants brought by him and Yang Ye all sat at the entrance of the hall. Upon hearing his orders, they immediately went to fetch her.
In a short while, the Sun woman was dragged back.
Cen Hong stared at the Sun woman who was slumping on the ground, his eyebrows knotting. Just as he was about to speak, Qiao Xiaomai stepped forward and loudly announced, “Your Honor, 1 have something to say.”
She didn’t wait for Cen Hong to respond and continued, “For her son, the Sun woman acted like a bandit in my home for more than a decade. Be it food or silver, she stole anything she saw, using my family’s blood to nourish her son.”
“If you speak of the obligation of fostering, my family’s servitude over the past decade should be enough to repay her.”
“As for the great favor of giving birth, my family has repaid that too. Because of her, my father broke his leg, all our fields were sold, and my mother, unable to bear the sight of me being sold to a brothel, chose to leave.”
The reason Qiao Changshun met with an accident that day was because he was distracted while working: Sun woman had been spreading words in the village that he was unfilial and would be punished.
So the blame for his broken leg was on the Sun woman.
“And me, I nearly lost my life while collecting herbal medicine for my father.”
“My family of four, the crippled and the departed.”
“Are we supposed to overlook everything she’s done just because my family is now wealthy and she is destitute? Does someone in my family have to die before her debt of life is fully repaid?”
Hah.
Someone already did.
The original host fell from a mountain that day while digging for herbs for Qiao Changshun, which led to her transmigration.
The Qiao family had already lost a life.
So no matter how impoverished the Sun woman became, she would never forgive her.
Never ever.
With these remarks, she looked around at the crowd and swept her eyes over each face.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, she suddenly curved her lips, a cold smile spreading.
“All of you present here, I was the one who was robbed for over a decade, not you. Today, it was my father who broke his leg, not yours. My mother left, not your family members.”
“The pain is not yours, so don’t act high and mighty or try to force me to bow with the so-called reputation. Reputation, I, Qiao Xiaomai, don’t care.”
“You pity Sun woman? Unless you can provide for her needs, shut up.”
“And quit talking nonsense in front of me; don’t blame me if I lose my temper!”
