Chapter 137 Innate Divine Strength
Jindou felt bitterness not just in his heart, but even his mouth tasted bitter. If Jinguan, that little brat, were in front of him, he would beat him up so bad he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for a month.
But at the moment, he still had to apologize for his careless brother and their parents, who were so gullible they didn’t even know what to say, making grandma angry.
What Wang Yongzhu wanted was naturally not the apologies from Jindou and his brother. In her view, these two elder nephews were the only clear-minded ones in the main branch of the family.
If it had been in the past, she might have wanted to save some face for the main branch, to score some impression points, but the current Wang Yongzhu didn’t feel that way anymore.
When one lacks strength, showing kindness and goodwill can be seen by others as a sign of weakness and an invitation to be bullied.
She had no intention of becoming meat in the eyes of a dog.
With that decision made, she recounted everything that had happened in town, excluding only the ten taels of silver and the fact that Old Granny Zhang had asked Doctor Ma to reduce the amount of ginseng in Wang Yongfu’s medicine.
Once she finished telling the story, Jindou and Jinhoo’s faces turned from green to white, filled with shame and anger, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Wang Yongping couldn’t stand it anymore and exploded in anger, "I’ll go to town and drag that little rascal Jinguan back here, beat him up to vent your and mother’s anger! That little bastard, a fine young man who has learned to gossip and stir up trouble! Don’t worry, my sister, with your Fourth Brother taking action, I’ll make sure Jinguan kneels down and apologizes to you!"
Saying so, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to head out.
He was halted by Wang Yongzhu, who firmly grasped his arm and said, word for word, as she looked at Jindou and Jinhoo, "Jinguan is still a child, and these words don’t upset me or grandma. Your father and mother, no matter the reason, whether it’s a misunderstanding or they were incited by someone else, to hold such a grave misunderstanding against their own family is truly disheartening! You brothers are grown men now, and you should understand these principles without me having to spell them out for you! We are supposed to be close kin, but to become estranged over this, we may as well be worse off than five unrelated families."
