Shi Bangqing’s mother and father stood at the door of their house, watching their son beat up their daughter-in-law indifferently. They were completely like outsiders watching a show.

At first, no one noticed this situation.

Until..

Shi Xiaoze ran over to his grandma, crying as he questioned loudly, “Grandma, you were the one who hit that woman! Why didn’t you tell my father about it? Boohoo..”

Shi Xiaoze’s question drew everyone’s attention.

What? Was this woman beaten up by Old Lady Shi?

That was true. That woman was here to break up this family.

As a mother-in-law, she taught that woman a lesson and protected Yuan Chunjiao.

That.. was not bad.

For a while, everyone thought Yuan Chunjiao’s efforts in this family had finally paid off. Her in-laws were not as heartless as Shi Bangqing.

Yuan Chunjiao, who was disappointed in Shi Bangqing, suddenly had hope in her eyes.

With her in-laws standing on her side and protecting this family with her, Shi Bangqing could not get a divorce. In the future, her son would have a complete family. She was unwilling to get a divorce not because she would miss Shi Bangqing, but because of her son.

And yet..

Old Lady Shi was shocked. Panic flashed across her face. She felt guilty and scolded loudly, “You damn child, what nonsense are you talking about? How could it be me who hit her?”

“Grandma, you’re lying. I clearly saw that you were the one who hit her. Why aren’t you admitting it?” Shi Xiaoze cried as he questioned, “Grandma, didn’t you see that my father was about to beat my mother to death? Why didn’t you stand up and admit that you were the one who hit her?”

When everyone heard Shi Xiaoze’s words, they initially thought that Old Lady Shi was protecting her daughter-in-law. However, the more they listened to Shi Xiaoze’s questioning, the more shocked they became.

If it was Old Lady Shi who hit that woman, then she must have done it to protect her daughter-in-law.

But why was she unwilling to admit it now?

Not only was she unwilling to admit it, but she also allowed this woman to wrongly accuse Yuan Chunjiao. She allowed her son to beat Yuan Chunjiao up and left her in the lurch.

If she was really defending her daughter-in-law, she should have come out to stop her son from hitting her daughter-in-law.

Could it be that Shi Bangqing could attack his old mother? Was this why Old Lady Shi did not do anything but stand at the entrance and watch coldly as her daughter-in-law, who had been filial to her, was beaten up by her son?

No one present was a fool. After thinking for a while, they would know the answer.

Grandma Shi learned from Gu Qingming that Old Lady Shi might have already been in cahoots with this woman, but there was no evidence.

Hence, she got Shi Xiaoze to make the accusation.

Regardless of whether Shi Xiaoze had witnessed the entire process or not, when he heard that he could save his mother just like that, he did as Grandma Shi instructed without hesitation.

Grandma Shi had been observing Old Lady Shi’s expression ever since Shi Xiaoze questioned her.

Then, Old Lady Shi’s eyes were filled with guilt and panic. None of them escaped Grandma Shi’s gaze.

Grandma Shi was extremely disappointed!

Everyone in the village knew what kind of person Yuan Chunjiao was in their family. In the end, Yuan Chunjiao’s status was even worse than an outsider in their family.

Grandma Shi didn’t care if Old Lady Shi was guilty or not. She walked straight over and questioned sternly, “Liu Sanxiu, were you the one who hit this woman?”

“No!” Old Lady Shi was unwilling to admit it.

The disappointment in Grandma Shi’s eyes deepened again. If Old Lady Shi admitted it this time, it would show that she had some conscience.

However, she did not admit it.

Grandmother pointed at the palm print on Li Hongmei’s face and shouted sharply, “Isn’t it? Look at the palm print on her face. It’s obvious that someone shorter than her hit her. That’s why this spot is between her neck and face. But look at Chun Jiao. She’s taller than this woman, and her palm is bigger. A slap will definitely occupy half of her face.”

Without waiting for Old Lady Shi’s reaction, she pulled her forward.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Old Lady Shi shouted angrily. “Lai Jiaoying, don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you gave birth to three sons.”

Grandma Shi didn’t waste her breath on her and pulled her in front of Li Hongmei.

Li Hongmei was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She asked with a frightened expression, “What.. what are you doing?”

Grandma Shi didn’t waste her breath on them. She grabbed Old Lady Shi’s hand and looked at Li Hongmei’s face.

It matched perfectly!

“Ah, it matches?”

The villagers were shocked.

“Could it be that Xiaoze’s Grandma really hit her? But why didn’t she say anything? She even let her son hit her daughter-in-law?”

Grandma Shi shouted again, “Chunjiao, come here!”

The villagers holding Yuan Chunjiao immediately released her.

Yuan Chunjiao walked over and called out respectfully, “Second Aunt!”

Grandma Shi said, “Put your hand to her face!”

This time, Li Hongmei seemed to be frightened. She immediately dodged and said loudly, “What are you doing? Are you going to hit me again? Brother Qing, save me. I don’t want to be hit again.”

Just as Li Hongmei was about to run away, her eldest aunt and third sister-in-law immediately went forward to stop her.

Shi Bangqing wanted to defend Li Hongmei, but he was stopped by his three uncles.

Shi Bangqing asked angrily, “What are you doing? This is my family’s business. Why are you sticking your nose into other people’s business?”

Eldest Uncle Shi Lichun said very seriously, “Shi Bangqing, we don’t want to interfere in your family’s business at all. However, Xiaoze asked my mother for help. Other things are fine, but we will interfere when it comes to you hitting Chunjiao. Also, my mother won’t do anything to your lover. Just watch. In a while, you will know what to do!”

At this moment, Shi Bangqing was embarrassed and frustrated. He wanted to break free, but he could not break free from the strength of the three brothers. He could only watch as his woman was grabbed by the three brothers’ wives and as Yuan Chunjiao’s palm was raised.

Shi Bangqing roared, “Yuan Chunjiao, if you slap her, I’ll definitely slap you ten times!”

Hearing his words, Yuan Chunjiao’s entire body trembled. The hand she raised was also trembling.

Grandma said, “Chunjiao, you don’t have to hit her. If you hit her, you’ll dirty your hands. Just place your palm near the palm print on her face!”

“Yes!” Yuan Chunjiao sobbed.

She pressed her palm against Li Hongmei’s face.

“Eh, Chun Jiao’s hand completely covered the palm print on her face. Chun Jiao’s hand is big.”

“So, the person who hit her was not Chun Jiao, but Granny!”

“F*ck, what’s going on! It was clearly his mother who hit her, but she still said that it was his wife. This woman is really scheming.”

“No, it was Xiaoze’s Grandma who hit her. Why didn’t she tell her son? Why did she watch her son beat up her daughter-in-law?”
