Zhao Baotian and Madam Liu quickly came out of their room to see what was happening.
When they realized that it was Madam Ma, Zhao Baotian wasn’t scared anymore.
Zhao Baotian had killed someone before, which made him different from Madam Ma. Although Madam Ma looked scary and intended to fight them to death, Zhao Baotian still felt that he should be able to defeat a woman!
Just then, Zhao Baogen came out from his room as well.
He looked at Madam Ma and then said to Madam Yang, “Mom, you have to pay for Changrong’s payment. Third brother was the one who pushed Changrong. If you are really planning to save this money, don’t blame me for being unfilial. ”
Zhao Baogen had been lying on the bed for over half a year. He looked a lot gloomier than before.
The way he spoke to Madam Yang made her feel a little intimidated.
“Second son, what are you talking about? Changrong fell down himself! If this woman hadn’t gotten violent and tried to beat us, Changrong wouldn’t have gone over, right? Many mistakes were made, but it’s her fault at the end of the day! Why should we be paying for this? I’ll tell you right now; I won’t pay a single tael of silver for this!”
Fifty tales of silver wasn’t a small amount. Unfortunately, because of the tofu incident, she had to pay quite a bit of money as compensation. How could Madam Yang bear taking out even more money now?
Taking money from her was like slicing away her flesh!
Madam Yang had made up her mind. She wasn’t going to pay a single cent!
Zhao Chuc.hu had already saved Zhao Changrong. Since she wasn’t the one who begged Zhao Chuchu to do it, it didn’t have anything to do with her. If she wanted money, ask Madam Ma instead!
Zhao Baogen was so angry that he started laughing. “I saw it with my own eyes. Mother, how can you do this? Changrong is a son of our family. Are you just going to watch him die? Is he not your grandson?”
“What grandson? Chen Dashan’s blood is flowing in his body right now. He has nothing to do with us.” Madam Yang started spouting nonsense theories. She was saying anything to avoid taking out money.
She didn’t believe that Madam Ma would dare to kill them!
Madam Ma looked at Madam Yang. She thought about how she had treated Madam Yang since marrying into the Zhao Clan. She respected Madam Yang and served her mother-in-law as best she could, but what did she get in the end?
Madam Ma finally understood why Zhao Chuchu insisted on cutting ties with the Zhao clan.
She should have seen it coming a long time ago.
Madam Yang didn’t even care about her granddaughter, so why would she care about an outsider like her?
Madam Ma laughed. She was laughing at how pathetic her life was. It took her so incredibly long to finally see these people’s true colors.
“Okay, since all of you have tossed your morals in the trash, there’s no point in me treating you like a human.” Madam sincerely felt that all of these people should be dead. They deserved to suffer in the depths of hell.
Zhao Baotian was the one who caused her son to be in this state, yet this old hag could somehow claim that it was her fault.
Yeah, right. How could they ever be the ones at fault?
She was the one who was wrong because she was an outsider.
“Sis-in-law, it’s wrong to use violence and threaten to kill people like that. Did Baotian push Changrong? No! It was clearly because you were misbehaving! I know Baotian is very honest and down-to-earth, but that doesn’t mean you can bully him! I am here to stand up for him!”
Madam Liu looked at Madam Ma with the confidence and joy of a victor. Madam Ma’s miserable state made her feel very satisfied.
Madam Ma sneered and said, “Don’t start laughing too soon. My today is your tomorrow. So just wait and see what happens!”
Madam Liu’s expression turned ugly. She said, “I’m different from you. I have made contributions to this family. I’m not like you, you bad luck-bringing wretch. All you do is ruin the peace of this home.”
Madam Ma trembled in anger.
Madam Yang said coldly, ‘You don’t belong to the Zhao clan anymore. Go back to wherever you came from. Don’t force me to chase you out. It won’t be good for you if the other villagers see it!”
Madam Ma’s rage completely overwhelmed her rational mind. Her brain was filled with a single thought: “kill them.”
“I’m going to kill all of you!” Madam Ma raised her knife and charged forward.
Niu Tongsheng and the other villagers just happened to arrive at the scene. “Madam Ma, stop! Stop right now! Somebody stop her!”
Madam Yang and Madam Liu started screaming from Madam Ma’s sudden outburst. Then, they started running around the courtyard as they yelled for help.
Niu Tongsheng felt their hearts palpitating as they watched.
Niu An had learned some martial arts while going out of the village. So he dashed forward and snatched the butcher’s knife from Madam Ma, but his arm got injured instead.
Niu Tongshengs expression changed drastically. He frantically asked, “Son, are you alright?”
“Dad, I’m fine.” Niu An hid the knife behind him, then pressed on his wound and shook his head.
Niu Tongsheng glared at Madam Ma and asked her fiercely, “Madam Ma, are you crazy? Can’t we just sit down and talk properly? Do you have to kill someone? Have you thought about Changrong?
“Do you think he could live a normal life if he had a murderer for a mother? Have you thought about the consequences of your impulsive action?
Madam Ma acted out of rage. She lost control of her emotions and actions because of what the people of the Zhao clan said.
After accidentally injuring Niu An, she started to calm down. However, she didn’t dare reply to Niu Tonzsheng.
“Chief, you came at the right time. You have to seek justice for us. This bitch of a woman was trying to kill her mother-in-law. We can’t let this woman stay in Lengshui Village anymore. She’s insane and has completely lost her mind, and no one knows when she will start going crazy and killing people around her…” Madam Yang immediately began to complain. She cried and sobbed as though something truly terrifying had happened to her.
Madam Liu immediately followed Madam Yang’s lead and said, “Chief, she came here and started threatening to kill us. My mom tried to reason it out with her nicely, but she refused to listen to us and started charging at us with the knife. If you didn’t arrive in time, I’m afraid we would have been…” Madam Liu squeezed a tear from her eyes as she spoke.
Madam Ma simply stood there expressionlessly. She didn’t speak out for herself.
Niu Tongsheng didn’t just believe in Madam Liu and Madam Yangs side of the story. He looked at Madam Ma and said, “Madam Ma, what happened? Why did you want to kill them?”
Madam Ma remained silent.
“Tell me. I won’t be biased against anyone!”
“Chief, how could you do this? You saw it with your own eyes. She wanted to kill us! Shouldn’t you be seeking justice for us? How is that considered being biased for us?
Madam Yang was unhappy about what Niu Tongsheng said.
“Shut up!” Niu Tongsheng yelled. “You think I don’t know what kind of person you are? I’m asking Madam Ma right now. It’s not the time for you to talk.” Madam Yang was mad, but she didn’t dare say anything.
But Madam Liu felt differently. She thought that justice was on her side, so she wasn’t afraid. She said, “Chief, my sister-in-law has gone completely insane. We can’t let a crazy person stay in the village, right? That’s going to make everyone scared!”
Niu Tongsheng glared at Madam Liu coldly and said, “Did I say it’s your turn to speak?”
Madam Liu couldn’t say anything in return.
“They caused my son to be in such a state. Shouldn’t they pay for the treatment that saved his life? Why should I be paying for everything? Zhao Baotian was the one who pushed my son, yet that old hag had the cheek to spout such nonsense and blame me for it? Whv am I wrong for wanting to save my son?
Madam La suddenly started yelling hysterically. She pointed at the people from the Zhao clan. The hatred in her eyes was so intense that it scared anyone who looked at her.
“Since they want me to watch my son die, why should I let them live? How about we all die together, huh? Then, when we go down there, we can ask our ancestors whether they want to be related to these heartless animals! I have nothing now. All I have is this miserable life. So I don’t think having them die with me is a bad deal!”
