Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Mother and Daughter Fall Out

"So, have you come to a realization?"

Zhang Xiaoshan turned and looked at Wu Biao.

"I..."

Wu Biao’s face turned red, and he spoke haltingly.

"I was wrong before, I, I apologize to you. Sorry, I, I won’t dare to do it again."

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a sudden sourness in his heart.

Throughout these years, the Wu family had wronged White Dragon Village, and this Wu Biao was a representative of the Wu family’s younger generation. He himself had suffered enough bullying over the years, including times when his elder brother, Zhang Dashan, was also bullied by Wu Biao and his gang.

"Your voice is too low, and your attitude isn’t sincere either. Wu Biao, if you really don’t want to apologize, that’s fine. I won’t force you."

Wu Biao knew that Zhang Xiaoshan was seizing the opportunity to intentionally humiliate him. But with his life in Zhang Xiaoshan’s hands, what could he do?

"Thud."

Wu Biao awkwardly knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"I, I was wrong. I’m sorry."

"Wu Biao actually knelt down to Little Shan?"

"I heard that Wu Yong’s arrest is also largely due to Little Shan. Now that Wu Biao has knelt down as well, it seems like the Wu family’s younger generation is thoroughly trampled underfoot by Little Shan."

"That foolish woman Zhang Yulian, spoiled her daughter’s marriage with Little Shan, and now look."

"I’ve always seen that Little Shan could achieve big things."

The villagers discussed animatedly.

Afar off on the village road stood two figures.

It was indeed Zhang Yulian and her daughter Wu Xiaoru.

The two of them came seeking help from Zhang Xiaoshan regarding Wu Yong’s situation; unexpectedly, they witnessed this scene. The villagers’ gossip felt like slaps striking their faces, turning them red and hot with shame, yet they dared not step forward, only hiding nearby.

From a distance, Wu Xiaoru kept shedding tears as she gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan.

The tears bore emotions of regret, remorse, and shame.

After so many years of relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan, this was where she ended up.

Whom could she blame?

Was it not her own greediness that was insatiable?

If it wasn’t for her being blinded by wealth and betraying Zhang Xiaoshan, she would have been his bride by now.

Now, Zhang Xiaoshan had become a permanent professional doctor with considerable savings and seemed to have elusive connections with high officials in the county.

What about her?

With Wang Xiaolong and his father arrested and the Wang family’s downfall, her dreams of marrying into a wealthy family were shattered.

Moreover, the Wang family was the wealthiest household in dozens of miles around Qingshan Town. Now that the Wang family was ruined, news had spread across several neighboring towns and villages, thoroughly tarnishing her reputation. In these parts, definitely no one would want her; walking on the street without being hit by rotten eggs would be considered fortunate.

If only she could go back.

"Mom, let’s go back," said Wu Xiaoru, her expression a mix of helplessness and shame.

As she looked at the radiant Zhang Xiaoshan, she hardly dared to meet his gaze directly, let alone ask him anything face to face.

Perhaps, not only would Zhang Xiaoshan not help her, but he might severely humiliate her.

"Leave?"

Zhang Yulian panicked upon hearing Wu Xiaoru’s words.

"Your brother is still locked up inside. Those bastards have pinned everything on Little Yong. I heard he’s facing several years in prison. Didn’t you say Zhang Xiaoshan has connections with the county’s top officials?"

"Now, begging Zhang Xiaoshan for help is the only chance for Little Yong to have a lifeline."

"Xiaoru, he’s your only brother, you can’t just watch him suffer and do nothing."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Xiaoru felt wronged.

"Mom, I, I, aren’t I also your daughter? If you hadn’t forced me to meet Wang Xiaolong for matchmaking, constantly pushing me, I wouldn’t have come to this pass with Zhang Xiaoshan."

"You know exactly how our family treated Zhang Xiaoshan, are you not intentionally having him humiliate me by asking me to approach him now?"

"Do you really want to see me embarrassed?"

"Unfilial daughter, you ungrateful, unfilial daughter, how did I raise such an ingrate?"

"Weren’t you also interested in Wang Xiaolong’s family wealth? During the matchmaking, you were willing to go too, didn’t I force you with a knife to your throat?"

"You despise the poor and love the rich, and you blame me?"

"I am your mother."

"If you don’t go today, then consider that you are no daughter of mine."

"If you can’t get it done, don’t bother coming home."

Zhang Yulian threw down these harsh words at Wu Xiaoru, then turned away crying and muttering incessantly.

"Little Yong, Little Yong, my precious son, you’re suffering."

Seeing her mother’s partiality, Wu Xiaoru’s tears flowed even more fiercely.

Yet, as she turned back and looked again at Zhang Xiaoshan from a distance, she resolved to speak with him.

Not only to save Wu Yong but also to seek a possible reconciliation with Zhang Xiaoshan.
