Chapter 1065: Chapter 342: Everyone Wants to Beat Him, The Reward_2

These half-grown kids could run, and even if someone spotted them, they couldn’t be caught. When confronted at the Wang Family’s home, Sister-in-law Wang and those two frail elders of the Wang Family would wail and make a scene, begging the villagers who came to demand an explanation to drop dead. In short, they simply refused to admit their children were at fault and accused the villagers of causing trouble for no reason and picking on a family of orphans and widows.

No wonder the villagers couldn’t stand them!

At that time, everyone’s attention shifted entirely to reproaching and condemning the Wang Family, meaning Wu’s commotion at the Wang Family’s home was bound to end without resolution. However, this incident served as an opportunity for Liu Qingqing’s "origin" to become widespread knowledge, and it became unlikely that her identity would ever be questioned again.

As for the people from Lao Mo’s House, they were now like invisible men in the village, and even if they spoke the truth, just like Sister-in-law Wang, no one would believe them.

Mo Yan hadn’t expected the situation to turn out this way, completely unlike the prolonged and fierce fight between Wu and Wang Families she had imagined. However, this was not detrimental to the Wu family, and she no longer needed to intervene.

It wasn’t until later that Mo Yan learned that Sister-in-law Wang’s days, filled with jealousy towards Wu’s prosperity, had led her to fabricate rumors, which by sheer fluke, happened to hit the mark about Liu Qingqing’s true identity. She was envious of the Wu family simply because, like her, they had no man in the house. While her family’s life was only slightly better than that of a beggar’s, the Wu family was living in a brick home, eating meat at every meal.

This disparity filled her with immense dissatisfaction, believing that without a man as the pillar, the Wu family should be living as miserably as the Wang family. It must be said that there is no shortage of such unreasonable people in the world; it’s just that Sister-in-law Wang was particularly "outstanding."

Watching a disheveled Sister-in-law Wang, Aunt Cai spat out contemptuously, "This woman truly deserves it! If she lived her life well and didn’t go around stirring up trouble, would anyone care to bother with her, a respectable married woman?"

There was also a deep-seated grudge between Aunt Cai and Sister-in-law Wang. Both women’s marital families bore the surname Wang, but while one thrived, the other’s circumstances declined further. This too upset Sister-in-law Wang immensely, leading her to frequently spread malicious gossip about Aunt Cai.

"Who cares what happens to her, if she truly gets driven out of the village, I won’t feel any sympathy," Mrs. Zhou said disdainfully, feeling completely indifferent towards people like Sister-in-law Wang.

"Who would sympathize with such a person? She’s a nuisance wherever she goes," the other women who had come along echoed in agreement, showing just how unpopular Sister-in-law Wang was.

Mo Yan wasn’t interested in staying any longer. After saying goodbye to Wu’s, she took Little Flower and Mao Tuan, who both seemed to enjoy watching the excitement, and headed back. Although Aunt Cai and others wanted to stick around a little longer, they were paid for their work and didn’t feel right about wasting time.

In the end, the Wang family wasn’t driven out of Liu Yang Village. Ultimately because the elders were too old and the children too young, driving them away would have been akin to sending them to their deaths. Even if the villagers detested them, no one wished for their demise, not even the Wu family would advocate for such measures.

However, after this incident, the Wang Family’s reputation in the village sank as low as that of Lao Mo’s House. No one wished to associate with them any longer, and Sister-in-law Wang, having been frightened, no longer dared to be as brazen as before. Over time, the entire family faded into obscurity, noticeable only when their children once again trespassed in others’ fields and damaged crops.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already mid-October. After a year and a half, the main construction of the wine estate was fully completed. By next spring, according to the original design, it was to be carefully arranged to form a garden-style wine estate with mountains, water, flowers, and trees. After adding the wine-making equipment, come autumn when the orchard bore fruit, wine production could begin.

On the day of completion, Yan Junyu, who had seldom been seen, appeared unexpectedly. The petite and delicate Commandery Princess of Chang’an stood beside him, smilingly congratulating Mo Yan and, surprisingly, not avoiding showing her closeness to Junyu, who surprisingly didn’t shun her either.

The two still bickered, but Mo Yan could clearly sense that the disgust on Junyu’s face had lessened significantly. Sometimes, when the argument grew intense, he would control his temper and refrain from making hurtful remarks.

The Commandery Princess of Chang’an, however, was quite strange. Whenever Junyu conceded and refused to argue with her, she seemed to feel as if something was missing. The words she said became more and more provocative, intent on pushing people away until they couldn’t take it anymore.

Mo Yan didn’t know what transpired between the two, and as for the Commandery Princess of Chang’an’s unique pursuit of her husband, she found it incomprehensible. Watching their quarrels, she found it quite amusing.
