Farm Girl's Manor

Wu’s emerged from the kitchen upon hearing the news, and immediately upon hearing Mo Yongfu’s remarks, she became so angry that her vision went red and she lashed out, "If you still considered Tie Tou your son, you wouldn’t have come here today to cause trouble, let alone tarnish his reputation with such words! Mo Yongfu, let me tell you, my name Wu Qinghua is clearly written as the head of the household in the registry, and this house is mine too. If you think you can sit here, think again; you’re not welcome."

Ever since her children broke away from the Mo Family, Wu’s had been wary of Mo Hong’s family going back on their word, so at the Government Office when they were re-registering for the household, she had made sure that her name was written as the head of the household. Little did she expect that her fears would materialize so soon.

"What? You’re the head of the household?" Mo Hong’s family stared at Wu’s, venomously spewing out, "You wretched woman cursed by plague, using our Mo family’s silver to build such a fine house and yet daring to claim yourself as the head of the household—do you plan on keeping a paramour? You better have some sense and change it at the Government Office quickly, or I’ll beat you to death right here and now!"

When the Wu family built their house, Mo Hong’s family didn’t stir up any trouble, just thinking that once the house was built it would belong to her grandson and that it was only natural for her, as the grandmother, to move in; if anyone dared to say otherwise, she would make a huge fuss and see who was tougher. Now, to her shock, the master of the house had become Wu’s, whom she had kicked out of the house. It meant that the house had nothing to do with her anymore—a fact she could not stomach.

"Huh, Wu’s is the head of the household? This is great; that shrew’s schemes will come to nothing!"

"Hmph, she still dares to say the silver for the house came from her old Mo family, as if she doesn’t know how to look in the mirror and see if she has the face to earn such a big house. Even if Wu’s remarries in the future, she’d leave the house to her own son, not for that shrew’s meddling!"

"Exactly, the older she gets, the more shameless she is. If I had such a mother-in-law, I’d just jump into the Xiaoqing River! And this Mo Yongfu, he used to seem alright, quite the honest man, but now he’s just as unreasonable as his mother—what a sin!"

...

The villagers, though initially anxious, were not surprised to see that the head of the household wasn’t the adult Tie Tou; witnessing this scene, they felt that Wu’s being the head of the household couldn’t be better, and that inevitably the debt the house had incurred also belonged to her, so no one felt it was unfair.

If her two sons were to get married in the future, as long as the head of the household remained Wu’s, even if her sons and daughters-in-law harbored any little schemes, they would still need to pamper their birth mother (mother-in-law).

Wu’s, who had been so angry earlier she could have strangled Mo Hong’s family, felt a wave of relief upon hearing the villagers’ discussions. Not to mention that she had no intention of remarrying, even if she did, she would still leave the house to her two sons. If the villagers really listened to Mo Hong’s incitement, she would be unable to hold her head up high in the village thereafter.
