Chapter 235 - 118: Another Uproar Over Expulsion from the Village (2)
Sang Pingliang was unable to contain his anger, and upon returning home, unleashed his full fury on Mrs. Li, berating her severely. Mrs. Li felt deeply wronged; seeing him in a rage, she dared not argue back and could only silently endure the storm, waiting for his temper to subside. Only then did she raise her head and say, "Master! We might as well not compete for status! After all, the blood relationship between our two families cannot be severed. If something really happens to us, would they really ignore us? I don’t believe it. If we can’t get food or have no money for medical treatment, they would care. If they truly ignore us, I’ll just sit at their doorstep and see what they do! Moreover, we still have Miss Wan, we haven’t broken off relations with her!"
Sang Pingliang was taken aback, his anger slightly subsided.

He felt there was reason in it but refused to admit it, stating sternly, "What status or not? How can you speak like that!"
He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain, "That youngster is going to receive so many gifts, and we won’t get anything!"
"Oh dear, we are at a huge loss!" Mrs. Li also felt the pinch.
"Humph!" Sang Pingliang stared at her coldly: "It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t been so stingy and mean before, would we be in this situation now!"
"I—" Mrs. Li thought to herself that he was no different, even stingier! And he had not been sparing with harsh words either! Yet she did not dare to argue back to Sang Pingliang.
"How does Miss Wan treat you?" Sang Pingliang suddenly asked.
