Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Coming to the Door
By the ti Shen Yixiang and the others returned, Yang Peimin had guessed the rough outline of the situation, as all clues pointed to Huang Tao.
Shen Yiqiu couldn’t help but curse, “Has our family invited trouble from this Huang Tao or what? To do such a heartless act! We can’t just let her get away with this, take her to the team and see what kind of nonsensical accusations she has used to fra people!”
Shen Yixia spat toward the direction of the Li Family, “A rotten soul, just jealous of our younger sister, can’t bear to see her pregnant, huh? She could even bring disaster upon our family like this! Pah, luckily Ah Guang didn’t fancy her back then. Anyone who marries this black-hearted woman really is jinxed for eight lifetis…”
Shen Yiqiu quickly pulled her back, reminding her to watch her words in front of Yang Peimin.
Only then did Shen Yixia realize her blunder and chuckled at Yang Peimin, “Look at and my big mouth. That Huang Tao has so family ties with our old aunt, and they once tried to introduce her to Ah Guang, but he didn’t agree. She was dead set on marrying into the Shen family, shalessly making several trips to our house, but Ah Guang had already returned to the army and didn’t even see her. I didn’t expect her to still be so jealous.”
Yang Peimin nodded with a sowhat gloomy face, “I knew about this too, but really, I had not expected her to still harbor such thoughts. I used to think of her as just another ordinary neighbor who had visited our house a few tis. It was only after she claid that I had a health issue and could not have children that I drove her out…”
“What? She even had the nerve to co visiting? What was that about? Mom, you even let such a person in. Sister didn’t know about the previous incident, but you knew, why did you still associate with her?” Shen Yixia’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Chen Guizhi’s face turned red with guilt, and she looked at Yang Peimin apologetically, “It’s all my fault. It’s been so long, and I didn’t expect her to not let go.”
“Sister, I’ve also encountered Huang Tao a few tis. I know she can be quite persuasive. Mother isn’t a match for her, especially since she has ties with our old aunt and mother is too proud to snub her. Please don’t bla mom,” Shen Yixia quickly jumped in, hoping to smooth things over between her and her mother-in-law.
Yang Peimin shook her head with a smile, “It’s all in the past now, and knowing the kind of person she is now is not too late.” She didn’t want to dwell on the past. ntioning it was just a hope that Chen Guizhi would take heed and not be too soft-hearted in the future.
Shen Yixia patted her hand, “The Shen family marrying you brings fortune to our household.” That was her way of comforting her.
The discussion that followed was about what to do next.
Shen Yixia felt she should go confront Huang Tao first, give her a good scolding, and then take her to the team.
But she was held back by her husband, Xiang Fugui, who said, “If she denies it, we can’t produce any evidence.”
Shen Yixia shook off his hand, “Who says there’s no evidence? Weren’t those rumors spread by her? We can bring people to confront her. You don’t have to worry about this; just follow us.” Second Sister Shen had been a fierce girl when she was young, unwilling to suffer any injustice, and would rush headlong into things. She had matured later, learning to plan before acting. Now, the matter was clear, and to act ignorant, to hide away would just embolden Huang Tao. Besides, even if it wasn’t her who threw the chicken blood, it could still be pinned on her. In this village, so things don’t need evidence; being strong is enough.
“Sisters, if you’re with , let’s go together. Our Shen family may have many daughters, but we are not to be trifled with.”
“I’m with you, Second Sister.”
“I know, Second Sister. We absolutely cannot tolerate this.”
“Ah Guang, what do you think?” Shen Erniu turned to his silent son Shen Yiguang, the pillar of their family and a man of wide experience and greater intelligence than his own.
Shen Yiguang nodded, “Second Sister is right. These idle gossips among the won should be dealt with by the won themselves. If they fabricate stories without evidence, then we’ll confront them with their own tactics. Don’t worry, we n are right behind you.”
With Shen Yiguang’s support, the morale of the Shen won surged. Shen Yixia instructed her two unmarried sisters, “You two stay here. It’ll be enough for and Third and Fourth Sisters to go. Even if people talk later, it won’t be about you. Big Sister, Younger Brother, and Mother shouldn’t go either. Stay here and watch the children.”
Chen Guizhi also quickly said, “Your Second Sister is right. You stick with Mother here and keep inford.”
Yang PeiMin was worried, “Those three from the Huang Tao family are no pushovers. Be careful about this conflict.” Upon hearing Huang Tao’s slander against the unborn child, she was furious. They definitely needed a lesson!
Shen Yixia laughed boldly, glancing sideways at her nfolk and brother, “We’re not without n. What’s there to fear? It’s been a long ti since I flexed my muscles. I rember those days when I was young.”
Yang PeiMin was still worried. Li Er was known for his bad temper, and no matter how many strong n were present, accidents could still occur. She suggested the sisters carry chili powder from the kitchen, to use in case the fight turned against them.
“Oh, Younger Sister, that’s a good plan. That will make us invincible.”
With plans set, Shen Yixia couldn’t wait and lead the charge into the Li Family ho, wielding a stick and imdiately smashing their door-side water jar. As the cursing started, the neighbors rushed over, and the Li family surfaced.
Upon seeing Huang Tao, Shen Yixia pointed at her and shouted, “You vile-hearted villain, fit only for hell. Did our Shen family desecrate your ancestors’ graves or kill your parents, that you fabricate such claims against our sister and curse an unborn child? You are cursed by heaven! You bully because you think the Shen family has no one? Watch tear your mouth apart today!”
She shouted and chased Huang Tao with the stick raised. Huang Tao scread, “You’re crazy! Did I say anything wrong? Your Shen family indeed brought bad luck, carrying sothing unclean. That’s why there are will-o’-the-wisps outside the wall…”
Hearing this, everyone was already furious. Huang Tao’s words only fueled Shen Yixia’s rage further, her hair practically standing on end as she swung the stick furiously.
