Wu’s erged from the kitchen upon hearing the news, and imdiately upon hearing Mo Yongfu’s remarks, she beca so angry that her vision went red and she lashed out, "If you still considered Tie Tou your son, you wouldn’t have co here today to cause trouble, let alone tarnish his reputation with such words! Mo Yongfu, let tell you, my na Wu Qinghua is clearly written as the head of the household in the registry, and this house is mine too. If you think you can sit here, think again; you’re not welco."
Ever since her children broke away from the Mo Family, Wu’s had been wary of Mo Hong’s family going back on their word, so at the Governnt Office when they were re-registering for the household, she had made sure that her na was written as the head of the household. Little did she expect that her fears would materialize so soon.
"What? You’re the head of the household?" Mo Hong’s family stared at Wu’s, venomously spewing out, "You wretched woman cursed by plague, using our Mo family’s silver to build such a fine house and yet daring to claim yourself as the head of the household—do you plan on keeping a paramour? You better have so sense and change it at the Governnt Office quickly, or I’ll beat you to death right here and now!"
When the Wu family built their house, Mo Hong’s family didn’t stir up any trouble, just thinking that once the house was built it would belong to her grandson and that it was only natural for her, as the grandmother, to move in; if anyone dared to say otherwise, she would make a huge fuss and see who was tougher. Now, to her shock, the master of the house had beco Wu’s, whom she had kicked out of the house. It ant that the house had nothing to do with her anymore—a fact she could not stomach.
"Huh, Wu’s is the head of the household? This is great; that shrew’s sches will co to nothing!"
"Hmph, she still dares to say the silver for the house ca from her old Mo family, as if she doesn’t know how to look in the mirror and see if she has the face to earn such a big house. Even if Wu’s remarries in the future, she’d leave the house to her own son, not for that shrew’s ddling!"
"Exactly, the older she gets, the more shaless she is. If I had such a mother-in-law, I’d just jump into the Xiaoqing River! And this Mo Yongfu, he used to seem alright, quite the honest man, but now he’s just as unreasonable as his mother—what a sin!"
...
The villagers, though initially anxious, were not surprised to see that the head of the household wasn’t the adult Tie Tou; witnessing this scene, they felt that Wu’s being the head of the household couldn’t be better, and that inevitably the debt the house had incurred also belonged to her, so no one felt it was unfair.
If her two sons were to get married in the future, as long as the head of the household remained Wu’s, even if her sons and daughters-in-law harbored any little sches, they would still need to pamper their birth mother (mother-in-law).
Wu’s, who had been so angry earlier she could have strangled Mo Hong’s family, felt a wave of relief upon hearing the villagers’ discussions. Not to ntion that she had no intention of remarrying, even if she did, she would still leave the house to her two sons. If the villagers really listened to Mo Hong’s incitent, she would be unable to hold her head up high in the village thereafter.
Wu’s steadied her spirit and looked mockingly at Mo Hong’s family, who resembled a jumping clown, "I’m the head of the household and this house is mine. Keep dreaming if you think you can force to go to the Governnt Office and change that."
Upon hearing this, Mo Hong’s family flew into a rage. Not thinking twice, she raised her hand to slap Wu’s and hissed venomously, "My daughter has beco a young mistress and has gotten to know a noble person. Even if I beat you to death today, the Governnt Office wouldn’t dare to behead for the likes of you."
Regardless of whether Mo Danier indeed knew any noble person, Mo Hong’s family’s arrogant and bullying deanor disgusted everyone there. Today, Wu’s had angered her, and she dared to threaten in front of so many people that she would beat Wu’s to death; if they ever got on her bad side, would she bully them to their deaths too?
At this thought, the crowd surged forward and firmly restrained Mo Hong’s family from striking.
Mo Hong’s family refused to give up; while shouting incessantly, she clawed and scratched at those who tried to stop her with her hard, sharp nails. One woman was unfortunate enough to have her face torn open by Mo Hong’s family’s vicious scratch.
Feeling pain, the woman touched her face, finding her hand ca back bloody. She let out an aggrieved howl and threw herself into a brawl with Mo Hong’s family, "You black-hearted, foul thing, even if the King of Heaven cos to your aid, I’ll ruin that shaless face of yours today!"
Seeing the woman’s blood-covered and pitiful face, the villagers did not sympathize with Mo Hong’s family who was being beaten beneath her; instead, so of them went straight to the village head Yang Bao to complain, "Village head, this cantankerous woman keeps threatening to beat people to death. This is too lawless. You should enforce the village rules and kick this entire family out of Liu Yang Village. If this continues, our village’s reputation will be utterly ruined by them."
Yang Bao was in quite a dilemma. There are always a few troublemakers in any village, and although despicable, Mo Hong’s family had not yet done anything harmful to the village. If he freely expelled people, it wouldn’t look good for his reputation outside. If Mo Hong’s family felt aggrieved and filed a complaint at the Governnt Office against him, he would have no leg to stand on.
With such chaos marring the celebratory day and looking at the two people tussling on the ground, Yang Bao rubbed his temples in frustration and said, "Separate them, separate them. Get them apart. If they cause a serious injury, how will it affect the feng shui of Wu’s house?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers also felt it made sense and banded together to pull the two apart. However, during the process, several won who disliked Mo Hong’s family took the opportunity to give her a few vicious twists.
Mo Hong’s family hopped around in pain, not knowing who had dealt her the blows, and began to make a fuss again, insisting that Wu’s go to the Governnt Office to change the household registry.
Annoyed beyond endurance, Yang Bao waved his large hand, instructing a few strong n to carry out Mo Hong’s family and the reluctant Mo Yongfu and dump them outside.
Just as he was about to close the gate of the Wu’s courtyard, keeping the troubleso mother and son outside, several won who had gone out to look for the children rushed in, their voices heavy with despair, "Gone... the children are gone, please help us search for the children!"
