Zhao Baotian and Madam Liu quickly came out of their room to see what was happening.
When they realized that it was Madam Ma, Zhao Baotian wasnât scared anymore.
Zhao Baotian had killed someone before, which made him different from Madam Ma. Although Madam Ma looked scary and intended to fight them to death, Zhao Baotian still felt that he should be able to defeat a woman!
Just then, Zhao Baogen came out from his room as well.
He looked at Madam Ma and then said to Madam Yang, âMom, you have to pay for Changrongâs payment. Third brother was the one who pushed Changrong. If you are really planning to save this money, donât blame me for being unfilial. â
Zhao Baogen had been lying on the bed for over half a year. He looked a lot gloomier than before.
The way he spoke to Madam Yang made her feel a little intimidated.
âSecond son, what are you talking about? Changrong fell down himself! If this woman hadnât gotten violent and tried to beat us, Changrong wouldnât have gone over, right? Many mistakes were made, but itâs her fault at the end of the day! Why should we be paying for this? Iâll tell you right now; I wonât pay a single tael of silver for this!â
Fifty tales of silver wasnât a small amount. Unfortunately, because of the tofu incident, she had to pay quite a bit of money as compensation. How could Madam Yang bear taking out even more money now?
Taking money from her was like slicing away her flesh!
Madam Yang had made up her mind. She wasnât going to pay a single cent!
Zhao Chuc.hu had already saved Zhao Changrong. Since she wasnât the one who begged Zhao Chuchu to do it, it didnât have anything to do with her. If she wanted money, ask Madam Ma instead!
Zhao Baogen was so angry that he started laughing. âI saw it with my own eyes. Mother, how can you do this? Changrong is a son of our family. Are you just going to watch him die? Is he not your grandson?â
âWhat grandson? Chen Dashanâs blood is flowing in his body right now. He has nothing to do with us.â Madam Yang started spouting nonsense theories. She was saying anything to avoid taking out money.
She didnât believe that Madam Ma would dare to kill them!
Madam Ma looked at Madam Yang. She thought about how she had treated Madam Yang since marrying into the Zhao Clan. She respected Madam Yang and served her mother-in-law as best she could, but what did she get in the end?
Madam Ma finally understood why Zhao Chuchu insisted on cutting ties with the Zhao clan.
She should have seen it coming a long time ago.
Madam Yang didnât even care about her granddaughter, so why would she care about an outsider like her?
Madam Ma laughed. She was laughing at how pathetic her life was. It took her so incredibly long to finally see these peopleâs true colors.
âOkay, since all of you have tossed your morals in the trash, thereâs no point in me treating you like a human.â Madam sincerely felt that all of these people should be dead. They deserved to suffer in the depths of hell.
Zhao Baotian was the one who caused her son to be in this state, yet this old hag could somehow claim that it was her fault.
Yeah, right. How could they ever be the ones at fault?
She was the one who was wrong because she was an outsider.
âSis-in-law, itâs wrong to use violence and threaten to kill people like that. Did Baotian push Changrong? No! It was clearly because you were misbehaving! I know Baotian is very honest and down-to-earth, but that doesnât mean you can bully him! I am here to stand up for him!â
Madam Liu looked at Madam Ma with the confidence and joy of a victor. Madam Maâs miserable state made her feel very satisfied.
Madam Ma sneered and said, âDonât start laughing too soon. My today is your tomorrow. So just wait and see what happens!â
Madam Liuâs expression turned ugly. She said, âIâm different from you. I have made contributions to this family. Iâm not like you, you bad luck-bringing wretch. All you do is ruin the peace of this home.â
Madam Ma trembled in anger.
Madam Yang said coldly, âYou donât belong to the Zhao clan anymore. Go back to wherever you came from. Donât force me to chase you out. It wonât be good for you if the other villagers see it!â
Madam Maâs rage completely overwhelmed her rational mind. Her brain was filled with a single thought: âkill them.â
âIâm going to kill all of you!â Madam Ma raised her knife and charged forward.
Niu Tongsheng and the other villagers just happened to arrive at the scene. âMadam Ma, stop! Stop right now! Somebody stop her!â
Madam Yang and Madam Liu started screaming from Madam Maâs sudden outburst. Then, they started running around the courtyard as they yelled for help.
Niu Tongsheng felt their hearts palpitating as they watched.
Niu An had learned some martial arts while going out of the village. So he dashed forward and snatched the butcherâs knife from Madam Ma, but his arm got injured instead.
Niu Tongshengs expression changed drastically. He frantically asked, âSon, are you alright?â
âDad, Iâm fine.â Niu An hid the knife behind him, then pressed on his wound and shook his head.
Niu Tongsheng glared at Madam Ma and asked her fiercely, âMadam Ma, are you crazy? Canât we just sit down and talk properly? Do you have to kill someone? Have you thought about Changrong?
âDo you think he could live a normal life if he had a murderer for a mother? Have you thought about the consequences of your impulsive action?
Madam Ma acted out of rage. She lost control of her emotions and actions because of what the people of the Zhao clan said.
After accidentally injuring Niu An, she started to calm down. However, she didnât dare reply to Niu Tonzsheng.
âChief, you came at the right time. You have to seek justice for us. This bitch of a woman was trying to kill her mother-in-law. We canât let this woman stay in Lengshui Village anymore. Sheâs insane and has completely lost her mind, and no one knows when she will start going crazy and killing people around herâ¦â Madam Yang immediately began to complain. She cried and sobbed as though something truly terrifying had happened to her.
Madam Liu immediately followed Madam Yangâs lead and said, âChief, she came here and started threatening to kill us. My mom tried to reason it out with her nicely, but she refused to listen to us and started charging at us with the knife. If you didnât arrive in time, Iâm afraid we would have beenâ¦â Madam Liu squeezed a tear from her eyes as she spoke.
Madam Ma simply stood there expressionlessly. She didnât speak out for herself.
Niu Tongsheng didnât just believe in Madam Liu and Madam Yangs side of the story. He looked at Madam Ma and said, âMadam Ma, what happened? Why did you want to kill them?â
Madam Ma remained silent.
âTell me. I wonât be biased against anyone!â
âChief, how could you do this? You saw it with your own eyes. She wanted to kill us! Shouldnât you be seeking justice for us? How is that considered being biased for us?
Madam Yang was unhappy about what Niu Tongsheng said.
âShut up!â Niu Tongsheng yelled. âYou think I donât know what kind of person you are? Iâm asking Madam Ma right now. Itâs not the time for you to talk.â Madam Yang was mad, but she didnât dare say anything.
But Madam Liu felt differently. She thought that justice was on her side, so she wasnât afraid. She said, âChief, my sister-in-law has gone completely insane. We canât let a crazy person stay in the village, right? Thatâs going to make everyone scared!â
Niu Tongsheng glared at Madam Liu coldly and said, âDid I say itâs your turn to speak?â
Madam Liu couldnât say anything in return.
âThey caused my son to be in such a state. Shouldnât they pay for the treatment that saved his life? Why should I be paying for everything? Zhao Baotian was the one who pushed my son, yet that old hag had the cheek to spout such nonsense and blame me for it? Whv am I wrong for wanting to save my son?
Madam La suddenly started yelling hysterically. She pointed at the people from the Zhao clan. The hatred in her eyes was so intense that it scared anyone who looked at her.
âSince they want me to watch my son die, why should I let them live? How about we all die together, huh? Then, when we go down there, we can ask our ancestors whether they want to be related to these heartless animals! I have nothing now. All I have is this miserable life. So I donât think having them die with me is a bad deal!â
