They had a rich daughter-in-law, didn’t they? They must be having a lot of money…
That was how those terrible rumors went about.
They had not dared to spread the rumor at the beginning, but Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma joined the group, which emboldened them.
When Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma failed to take advantage of the first section of the family, they found that Ms. Fang had found her supporter, namely her daughter-in-law!
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were very annoyed.
With this opportunity in hand, they started to make a big noise.
They were not defending the Shao Family at all.
Therefore, when the villagers found that the two women from the Shao Family were spreading rumors, the others started to spread even worse and wilder rumors.
Ms. Fang’s friends passed on the message to Ms. Fang.
Ms. Fang was so annoyed…
So, she went about in the village and cursed at anyone who said those things to her.
After all, she had to catch them right on the spot!
She could not just let the rumor spread!
Otherwise, it would be her family which would look bad!
Right then, she happened to catch Widow Sun, who was the main culprit behind the rumor!
Ms. Fang and Widow Sun had never liked each other, and at this moment, she was taking revenge for all the past doings.
Ms. Fang gave Widow Sun, who was in the middle of making a false claim, a push, and then they started to shout at each other and fight.
Ms. Fang glanced about and shouted at Widow Sun. “Are you so stupid? There are many poisonous mushrooms in the mountains, and everyone knows that. We pick mushrooms for ourselves. Who has the say to stop us?!”
“No one has set the rules for picking mushrooms in the mountains!”
“It has nothing to do with our family whether others want to get them or not! It’s not that people in our family are forcing someone to go up the mountain to harvest. Ms. Sun, you slanted mouth, slanted eyes, black heart and liver, a bad stomach woman! Why did you say that Ding Daniu’s family got into trouble because of us? Should our family be responsible for compensation? If you don’t tell me a reason today, I will tear your stinky mouth apart!”
Only now did Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan understand what was going on.
“How ridiculous!” Shao Yunduan said coldly. “Mom, don’t worry, everyone with a wise head would understand what is going on. They won’t find the ridiculous thing worth the while.”
Qiao Xuan laughed and said in a mocking tone, “Auntie Sun, it is your fault. You are trying to cause trouble between our family and Ding Daniu. We never offended you before, did we? We eat mushrooms, wild plants and fish and shrimps. We can eat whatever we want. No one can dictate what to do to us, right?”
“We are all adults, and we are not stupid, we know what the reason is. You are so silly to have caused the conflict between us!”
All the villagers nodded. Some felt guilty and anxious, some were reasonable.
“True! The matter has nothing to do with the Shao Family!”
“True, they never forced you to eat the mushrooms!”
Ms. Fang sneered. “Do you think that she had a brain? If she did, she wouldn’t have done something like this! You bitch, stop pretending to be dead. Speak now, speak! Here is the stage for you!”
