Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Discussing Marriage Affairs in the Boudoir, a Wine Banquet Hides Schemes (2)_1

"Exactly, exactly—it was your husband who was at fault in the first place, and now you come to the Mo Family’s house spouting nonsense, and you still think you’re in the right."

"If I were you, I would’ve stayed far away; I wouldn’t dare to intrude on someone else’s home like this. Sister-in-law Wang, you should just go back. Don’t bring more trouble to the Mo Family."

Once one person started, other villagers who supported the Mo Family all chimed in.

The matters between the Mo Family and Lao Mo’s House are their own business; it’s not appropriate for outsiders to comment. However, Wang Dali and his group are nothing but scoundrels. If they are not taught a proper lesson, who knows if they’ll keep pestering the Mo Family relentlessly? The way the Mo Family handled it was not wrong in the first place!

When Mo Yan heard this, how could she not know that this woman was none other than Wang Dali’s wife? She realized that the commotion today was all for the sake of venting her spleen.

With this in mind, she smiled gratefully at the villager who had first spoken up in defense of her family, then sternly said to Sister-in-law Wang, wearing a look of indignation:

"The fact that Wang Dali has extorted silver from our family is true, and what the Government Office decides is not up to us. If you have a complaint about how Jingzhao Yin ruled on the case, you are free to go to the Government Office and speak to him. You come here today to make a scene, and out of consideration for our being fellow villagers, we will not hold it against you this time. But from now on, don’t even think about setting foot in our house again! Now, please leave!"

Upon these words, quite a few more people agreed, and they disdainfully urged Mrs. Wang to leave. If it were their family being harassed like this, regardless of whether she was in the right or not, they would have long since taken a broom and chased her out.

Sister-in-law Wang looked around at the contemptuous gazes of the villagers and was dumbfounded. The incidents were clearly the Mo Family’s fault, so why did everyone stand up to speak for the Mo Family?

She had wanted to use the two incidents of the Mo Family’s youngest daughter falling ill on the day of their house move and the newly purchased horse getting diarrhea to tarnish the Mo Family’s reputation. But now it had backfired, leaving her faceless. She was so furious!

Thinking resentfully, Sister-in-law Wang saw Lizhong coming hurriedly towards her with a large broom, ready to chase her out, and she even thought of turning the tables.

She pointed at the villagers and cursed without restraint, "You spineless fools, is it that you see the Mo Family’s life improving day by day and want to lick their boots? Have you even considered whether they would allow that? Pah, none of you are any good!"

These words were like poking a hornet’s nest. While it was true that the villagers harbored small thoughts of their own, their words were just and fair. Now being pointed at and called "spineless" was something none of the sturdy men present could tolerate.

"You filthy woman, spreading your filth everywhere, get out of here before I am forced to strike a woman."

"Leave now, or I’ll make my way to your house and have your husband teach you a lesson."

"Mrs. Wang, will you leave or not? If you don’t, I’ll make you leave."

The men were all fuming, and had it not been for her being a woman, they would have rushed up and started hitting her.

However, there were also a few women in the crowd, and they had no such scruples. They clawed and scratched at Sister-in-law Wang, and some even grabbed her hair and wouldn’t let go, tearing off a large clump of it.

Sister-in-law Wang was no match for them and was left crying out in a mess, as a few women tormented her, leaving her with a runny nose and tears streaming down her face—it was utterly disgusting.

Seeing the chaos unfolding before them, Mo Yan and the rest could only watch in astonishment. What was originally a provocation against their family had turned out like this, leaving them at a loss for words.

Nevertheless, the Mo Family was still very grateful for those who had spoken up for them today. Otherwise, to have Mrs. Wang’s filth splashed onto them would have been utterly revolting.

Mo Yan also understood clearly that had it not been for her family’s distribution of grain and cotton last year, and their generous treatment of the helpers, coupled with their increasingly better life, even if the villagers believed they were not in the wrong, they might not have taken the initiative to stand up for them.
