Chapter 782: Meeting (2)_1
"Fine, I don’t fancy your belongings. I just want my own." Mrs. Huang was strong willed. She quickly packed her things, slung the bundle across her back, took one of her children by the hand and prepared to leave.
"Stop. Open your bundle for me." Yan Family’s matron commanded, blocking Mrs. Huang’s way with righteous indignation.
"Step aside. There’s silver inside. It’s what I earned working. You won’t steal it because the Lin Family has its roots. Listen, if you dare to rob me, I’ll report you to the authorities." Mrs. Huang fearlessly announced.
Lady Yan was almost driven mad with rage, but she knew that given her current reputation, if she reported this case to the government officials, she would be the one to suffer in the end. Because since the Prince of Ling became acquainted with that Lin Ziyin, the ordinances of Northern Land began to gradually change.
For example, in the past if an elder reported a junior for being unruly and unvirtuous, the elder was sure to win in nine out of ten cases. But now, things were different. It was said that the government officials would go to the village to collect testimony and both parties could engage in a debate right then and there.
With this new rule, she’d surely lose. Lady Yan was very aware that Mrs. Huang, who worked for the Lin Family, had won over her fellow villagers. Even the villagers from nearby hamlets who came to work, if they were to go to the government offices, their support would undoubtedly go to Mrs. Huang.
After weighing her options, Lady Yan decided not to mention going to the government offices. She simply pointed at Mrs. Huang and cursed her incessantly.
As for Mrs. Huang, she remained calm and coolly laughed in response to her ridicule, "Done with your yelling? Let everyone see if you’re indeed a loving mother. When the officials come to obtain evidence, I’ll have witnesses ready."
"Mrs. Huang, we’ll all stand as your witnesses. Who has ever seen a mother-in-law who verbally abuses her daughter-in-law so cruelly?" someone loudly voiced their support.
