Qin Shuman felt quite sad. She didn't expect her son, whom she had only met for a day, to stand up for her at this time, but she felt down when Fang Zhiwu spoke up for Erni without distinguishing right from wrong.

“Zhiwu, she was wrong in this matter. Mom didn’t make things difficult for her.”

Fang Zhiwu scratched his head, unsure of what to do next.

Logically speaking, since Qin Shuman spent so much money on him and Erni today, it wouldn't be a big deal if she said a few words.

But Erni doesn't think so.

Seeing that her man was silent, she plopped down on the ground and started yelling.

"Oh dear, the mother-in-law is bullying her daughter-in-law! Everyone, come and judge this! My husband was lost more than 20 years ago, and he's only just come home when he's being bullied by his own mother!"

"I'm going to die! The officials are bullying ordinary people!"

Qin Shuman, who came from a scholarly family, had never seen a village woman throwing a tantrum, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.

This is why cultured people can't beat thugs.

"You...you get up and talk to me. What kind of behavior is it to sit on the ground like this?"

Fang Zhiwu was used to it. Back in the village, whenever someone had a grievance, the women would do the same thing. No one was afraid of losing face; the more ugly the scene, the greater their chances of winning.

Lin Han grasped Qin Shuman's hand, "Aunt Qin, don't be afraid, leave it to me."

Qin Shuman had never seen it before, but she had witnessed it. Wasn't this just like a petty citizen blaming the stall owner for being dishonest when they didn't get a bargain at the market?

She knows this well.

Lin Han walked over to Erni and stood in front of her, looking down at her.

"Erni, you're saying Aunt Qin bullied you? Did she bully you by taking you home to live with her? Or did she bully you by cooking and cleaning for you every day?"

Could it be that Aunt Qin just bought you two a dozen or so outfits together and bullied you?

A person should have a conscience; you can't just throw a tantrum and think you're right.

As a daughter-in-law, you are not respectful to your elders, but instead claim that Aunt Qin deliberately lost Fang Zhiwu and sowed discord between the mother and son.

You deliberately stab people in the heart; what are your intentions?

Oh, I see. You're holding a grudge because Aunt Qin didn't buy you a necklace, which is why you said she bullied you.

If a mother-in-law not buying a necklace for her daughter-in-law is considered bullying, then there would be no mother-in-law in the world who doesn't bully others.

Don't you even look at how much the necklace costs? Is it appropriate to ask your mother-in-law, whom you've only met for one day, for such an expensive gift?

"Getting angry and embarrassed just because you can't gain an advantage?"

Those who had been drawn to watch the commotion by Erni's wailing and crying originally intended to criticize Qin Shuman for being a wicked mother-in-law.

But after hearing Lin Han's explanation, it turned out that this wasn't a mean mother-in-law at all; she was actually quite generous.

Who can afford to buy more than ten sets of clothes for their son and daughter-in-law at once?

Even if you have a lot of money, you shouldn't spend it like this.

In the end, it turned out that the woman on the ground hadn't gotten the necklace, so she was just randomly grabbing and biting things.

“Oh, stop complaining on the ground. Your mother-in-law has been good to you. I’ve been married for so many years and my mother-in-law has never been so generous as to buy me so many clothes at once.”

"Exactly, that necklace isn't cheap; it costs over a hundred yuan. What kind of family can just buy it like that? They're not good at managing money."

"This daughter-in-law is no good. She's stirring up trouble between her husband and her own mother. This family will fall apart sooner or later because of her."

Erni was dumbfounded. Why didn't things go as she expected?

In the past, whoever had the loudest voice in the village was always right. What happened? Why aren't people on her side anymore?
