"Mom, who are you calling a bastard? To me, I seem more like the bastard you picked up. Havenât you oppressed me enough from childhood? When will you stop? Tell me. Today I want to hear it."
"When have I ever mistreated you, you ungrateful son saying such things to me, ah... Are you even human anymore? Everyone come and see this... A son bullying his old mother, I canât go on living!" Old Fish Womanâs voice was so loud it probably echoed through the entire building.
But the neighbors were already used to it. Initially, they would come out to watch the commotion and offer a few words to stop it.
Over time, they all understood what kind of person Director Huâs old mother was. There was no more kind-hearted advice coming.
Every time this happens, each household closes their doors tightly.
The reputation of Hu Bin living here had been completely ruined by his momâs antics, and everyone in the building knew about the messy family affairs. He didnât care anymore.
Hu Bin frowned, glanced at his watch, and ignored his mother causing a scene, saying to Hu Dong, "Xiao Dong, take Saozi home. Itâs getting late."
"Alright... Saozi, letâs go."
Lin Wan gave a worried glance at her mother-in-law, while Shen Qing seemed indifferent. She laughed and said, "Letâs go back quickly, no need to worry."
Only then did Lin Wan nod and follow Xiao Dong out.
As they reached the door, Hu Leiâs wife deliberately pretended not to see and squeezed past Lin Wan.
Lin Wan almost lost her footing, but she managed to grab the door frame beside her.
Suddenly, Lin Wan felt anger rising, her eyes cold, as she glared at Hu Leiâs wife.
"Youâre of all ages now, but every day youâre making trouble at your brotherâs house. Iâm embarrassed on your behalf. I saw clearly you pushed me on purpose. Iâm pregnant now, if you cause me to lose my child, believe Iâll stab you twice with a knife right away."
In Lin Wanâs eyes, these people bully the weak to fear the strong. To suppress them, you have to be tough, even reckless.
Theyâre terribly timid and afraid of dying.
Sure enough, Lin Wan saw panic in her eyes.
Lin Wan didnât know her words had truly scared her. She knew about Shen Qingâs illegitimate child, heard he was in the military.
A rogue soldier, killing without hesitation. If she really caused his child to be lost, sheâd probably have nothing good coming.
She didnât even realize his wife was pregnant, just found her displeasing and bumped into her.
Lin Wanâs words hadnât allowed Hu Leiâs wife to recover when Shen Qing suddenly rushed in and slapped the eldest wife twice.
"Causing trouble for no reason, what about Saozi? Iâve had enough of you. Daring to target my daughter-in-law, letâs see if I donât tear you apart today!"
The eldest wife was stunned by Shen Qingâs slaps, for several seconds she let herself be torn apart by Shen Qing. There were a few bloody marks on her face from Shen Qingâs scratches, she only reacted when it hurt.
Seeing his wife being beaten, the eldest rushed forward to fight Shen Qing, Hu Bin wasnât willing to see this. He took a knife from inside and slammed it on the table, chopping a corner.
"Dare to try making a move here?"
Witnessing this scene, Hu Dong quickly pulled Lin Wan downstairs.
"This... Xiao Dong, go check on them, donât let anyone get killed?" Lin Wan expressed her concern.
"No worries, Saozi, without pulling out the knife to scare them, they wouldnât leave. Trust me, last time they came over, I chopped and hurt my uncleâs hand, scared them so much they didnât even ask for medical fees and ran away. Theyâre too timid." Hu Dong was accustomed to this and didnât mind.
"Do they come around to cause trouble often?"
