Chapter 233 Nonsense
Chapter 233 Nonsense
"My mother-in-law has already paid off the money. Can your uncle and brother, who is said to be thicker than blood, explain to me why you stood idly by for so many years when your brother's family was in trouble? How dare you say, 'My mother-in-law doesn't dare to talk to you like that'?" Shen Yan's words were loud and powerful.
"Auntie, just because your voice is loud doesn't mean you're right." Shen Yan responded to all changes with the same attitude, but her eyes were sharp.
Zhu was furious, her eyes wide open. She didn't expect that Shen Yan not only regained consciousness, but also settled all the past accounts one by one in front of her own son. How could she save her face?
"Mom, did you really take your sister-in-law's jewelry?" Song Lan's voice echoed in the room, sounding particularly heavy.
"She gave them voluntarily!" Zhu argued, but her tone could not hide a trace of guilt. Voluntary? Why give them as gifts? My aunt had not even received any gifts, so how could she easily give them to an aunt? Obviously, as my sister-in-law said, those things were all taken away by sweet talk!
"Go home immediately and return the things to your sister-in-law!" Song Lan gave the order without any doubt.
"Why! She is a woman from another family, but she has caused chaos in the Song family. Just listen to what people outside are saying about our Song family! I feel ashamed every time I go out! Even if those things are a little compensation to our family, they are just two old ornaments, and I still think it is not enough!" Zhu was full of resentment and her words were sarcastic.
She spat at Shen Yan, her words full of venom: "Which woman dares to get involved in usury? I'm afraid there's no other woman like her in Anyang City! What shameful things did she do to borrow so much money?"
"Aunt, you can't insult my sister-in-law like this!" Yige'er stepped forward with a determined look, frowned, and furious.
"My sister-in-law borrowed money because she was deceived and did not do anything despicable. You should not slander others at will!" Every word he said was sonorous and powerful, and his determination to protect his family was unmistakable.
"Oh my, since when did you become so close to that sister-in-law? I remember that you always complained about her laziness and how you wanted to kick her out of the house the next second. I think she must have used some kind of magic to confuse you!" Zhu's words were mixed with obvious sarcasm and malice, trying to sow the seeds of doubt in Song Lan's heart.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, not only did Shen's temperament change drastically, but even the two siblings of the Song family seemed to have become two different people. This transformation was jaw-dropping.
"Have you forgotten how she called you a cripple? Have you forgotten how miserable you were when you were kicked into the pig feed bucket? What about Yuanyuan, have you forgotten the fear that you were almost pushed into the well? You two little guys don't know what's good for you. When others give you the slightest sweet thing, you curry favor with them. You are so mean to the extreme!" Zhu's words were like a sharp dagger. Every sentence was extremely cruel and pierced people's hearts.
Song Lan's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes full of disbelief. He couldn't imagine that Shen Yan could be so cruel. Yi Ge'er pursed his lips tightly, swallowed the words back, his eyes were full of complex emotions, and he looked at Shen Yan secretly with flickering eyes, seeking help. Yuan Yuan was trembling all over, her little face full of fear.
Shen Yan gently patted Yuanyuan's head, but her eyes were as cold as ice and sharp as a knife, staring directly at Zhu, without the slightest intention of backing down. She moved her body, as agile as a rabbit, raised her legs suddenly, and kicked Zhu's acupuncture points with exquisite accuracy. She just wanted to teach her a lesson, but slapping her directly was too rough and easy to cause criticism, but those insignificant little actions were not enough to calm her anger.
Before Song Lan could react, Shen Yan's feet had already landed firmly on the ground, followed by Zhu's scream of pain. She fell to the ground and was unable to get up for a while.
Song Lan was so shocked that it seemed as if time had frozen at this moment.
"Aunt, you don't have to accuse me of not knowing how to be filial. It's because you have never shown the kindness and tolerance that an elder should have. As the old saying goes, a harmonious family is the root of everything. You have been trying to sow discord between me, my mother-in-law, and my husband. Now that I have come to my senses, you don't want to see our harmony and are still stirring up trouble here. How can you be so despicable?"
"Shen, you are a vicious woman, a slut! I will let Lin'er divorce you and let you taste the feeling of being abandoned!" Zhu cried bitterly, her body felt as if it was pierced by thousands of needles.
"Aunt, let's be frank. Now we each have our own families. If the brothers can get along well, the Song family will naturally prosper. Even if we can't get along well, it's also good to be relatives who are polite on the surface. If you dislike my bad reputation, just distance yourself from me. Why do you have to play the role of a noble saint and do those dirty things behind my back? On the one hand, you enjoy the glory brought to you by the scholar, and on the other hand, you stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at me." Every word Shen Yan said was as heavy as a hammer, and it hit the ground with a loud sound, completely tearing apart Zhu's hypocritical mask.
"I admit my evil and wickedness. From now on, please stay away from my house. If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for punching you. I will show no mercy!"
"Shen! I swear I will make Master Lin divorce you, leaving you alone and helpless!"
"Apologies are meaningless at this moment. I have the love of my mother-in-law and the support of my husband. What can you do to me? Wait until your son gets married, then you can manage other people's family affairs. My own family affairs are not yours to interfere in."
Shen's eyes were bloodshot, her face was distorted, and hatred was almost overflowing from every pore of her body.
"Mother!"
Song Lan woke up as if from a dream and hurried forward to support Zhu.
Zhu screamed, "Lan'er! Fight back! Fight her hard!"
"If you don't fight back, you're not my son! You coward! You watched your biological mother being humiliated by the hands of a villain!"
"You're a coward! You're a coward! You're a coward!"
Zhu rushed towards Song Lan like a violent storm. Song Lan frowned but resisted the urge to attack.
He knew his mother's temper very well, and Master Lin's wife was no pushover either. Although what happened today was unexpected, his mother's aggressive words were an indisputable fact. He wanted to help others, but ended up in this situation.
"Mom! Stop messing around!"
If my mother hadn't insisted on coming along, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
He would tell Master Lin about what Shen had done, and he would let Master Lin handle it. As a cousin, how could he lay hands on his sister-in-law?
"Oh! Oh! God, why did you give me such a useless son!"
