Chapter 200: with translation of chapter title

Jia Zhangshi didn't realize that her unrestrained talk, spreading rumors about Qin Huairu, had caused Bang Geng such harm.

Now many people know his mother and Yang Qing are having an affair.

He is often mocked by others.

He has now become a laughingstock for others.

He started to stay silent, he felt embarrassed, and he lived cautiously.

Neither Qin Huairu nor Jia Zhangshi realized how much harm their constant arguing was causing Bang Geng.

This home is no longer a sheltered harbor.

He merely went from one hell to another.

He watched them argue, and also watched them fight.

To him, Jia Zhangshi's shouting was merely a continuation of her quarrels and fights with Qin Huairu.

He didn't want to join them.

From Bang Geng's behavior, Yang Qing noticed his abnormality.

Damn, no way—could the family's changes not have caused a change in Bang Geng's personality?

Seeing his silent, hunched demeanor, Yang Qing almost became certain that Bang Geng's personality had changed.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, nowadays no one cares about him.

Because there was no favorable evidence, Jia Zhangshi's lawsuit accusing Qin Huairu of beating him was not valid.

"All right, Jia Zhangshi, if you dare to spout nonsense again, we will…"

"Or what?"

Er Da Ye thought for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution.

San Da Ye directly added.

"We'll just hand you over to the police."

"Regarding the previous rumor incident, the police have always wanted to know the truth."

Faced with San Da Ye's threat, Jia Zhangshi could only admit defeat.

She admitted defeat, but others weren't going to let her off the hook for her gossiping.

Gu Ning and Liang Ladi walked out.

"All right, their matter is settled."

"Er Da Ye, San Da Ye, can we now talk about our being the target of rumors?"

"Everyone knows where the rumors came from."

"Exactly, it's Jia Zhangshi who fabricated them about us."

"Jia Zhangshi slandered our innocence, causing us great harm."

Gu Ning: "When I go out, people point at me, and my daughter is even more bullied because of me."

Liang Ladi: "My child, too, has been bullied because of this; Damao has already gotten into several fights over it."

"That's not even the worst; Jia Zhangshi also fabricated stories about her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu."

"She goes around calling her a slut, implying she's not clear with Yang Qing."

"Someone like that, I'd love to beat her to death."

Chen Hong also stepped forward.

"Recently, all the rumors about our family's Yang Qing are baseless."

"I've been with him all along; I know exactly what happened."

"I can be absolutely certain that they are innocent."

"Besides, our family isn't just on good terms with the Gu Ning, Qin Huairu, and Liang Ladi families."

"Our relations with others are also fine—Li Da Xiong from the front courtyard and the San Da Ye family often come to the back courtyard, don't they?"

"Yi Da Ma, He Yuzhu's family also occasionally comes to the back courtyard."

"Guang Tian, Da Mao are even more our regular visitors."

"Liang Ladi has the least contact with us, yet you still drag others into this."

"Why, is it just because they're all widows?"

"What's wrong with widows? They work hard to support their families; why should they still be criticized?"

"I think those who spread such rumors deserve to be punished."

"You should know that behind both Gu Ning and Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi are whole families that rely on them for support."

"By doing this, she harms not just those few people but also their families."

"That could correspond to over a dozen or even twenty lives."

"Er Da Ye, this matter must be handled seriously."

Chen Hong's words could be said to have elevated this matter to a higher level.

When a group of old women gossip, they have no restraint at all.

They dare to say anything.

Jia Zhangshi's mouth, combined with her malicious nature, produces rumors so vicious they could make Qin Huairu lash out and fight her desperately.

Er Da Ye lifted his tea cup, clang clang clang…

"Jia Zhangshi, speak—did you spread those rumors?"

Jia Zhangshi still repeatedly denied it.

"I didn't, I didn't do it, that wasn't me, they're slandering me."

Her denial just made the others unhappy.

"Jia Zhangshi's rumors all came from your mouth, and you actually deny them?"

"I never expected Jia Zhangshi to be so shameless."

"Yeah, even one's own daughter-in-law is black."

"Utterly shameless..."

"I'm reporting it; Jia Zhangshi told me those rumors."

"I'm also reporting it; the rumors about Gu Ning, Liang Ladi, and Qin Huairu were said by Jia Zhangshi."

"I'm also reporting it; all this was done by Jia Zhangshi."

"With all the witnesses in place, Jia Zhangshi wasn't given any chance to deny, and the person was pressed down by a mountain of evidence."

"Er Da Ye took one look, the evidence was complete, it was time to sentence."

"Duang……"

"Jia Zhangshi immediately apologized to the victim."

"Jia Zhangshi saw that the situation was lost and could only give in."

"Sorry, Gu Ning, sorry, Liang Ladi; I also saw you often hanging out with Yang Qing, made a couple of jokes, never expecting such big consequences, I apologize to you."

"San Da Ye, seeing Jia Zhangshi's apology so lacking in sincerity, scolded."

"Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu too—this is your own daughter-in-law, you've brought disaster, you really leave people speechless."

"Upon hearing San Da Ye's words, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare call him Yan Lao Xi as before."

"Instead, she politely apologized again?"

"I also need to apologize to one person—my daughter-in-law Qin Huairu."

"When saying these words, Jia Zhangshi wished she could eat Qin Huairu."

"Her nails had sunk into her flesh."

"Sorry, daughter-in-law, I was wrong; here I apologize to you."

"Please forgive me."

"What could Qin Huairu say? She could only show agreement; at least on the surface, this is still her mother-in-law."

"I can accept the apology, but Er Da Ye, San Da Ye, I and my mother-in-law argue every day, seriously affecting our lives, so I demand we live separately."

"Er Da Ye felt embarrassed, and San Da Ye also didn't know what to say to handle the situation."

"This, this..."

"Our compound also doesn't have such authority."

"We think you'd better go to the Jiedao to ask."

"What do you think?"

"Qin Huairu waved her hand."

"Not really."

"If this gets to the Jiedao, can we just let it go?"

"Er Da Ye is also a fool."

"Yeah, we can't do that..."

"What should we do?"

"Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi."

"As long as my mother-in-law agrees, it's fine."

"Er Da Ye, San Da Ye looked at Jia Zhangshi."

"Jia Zhangshi could only nod in agreement."

"She was afraid of being beaten."

"Er Da Ye and San Da Ye, please divide our property for us now."
