They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 363 Does Second Aunt Think It's Possible?
The two branches of the Liang family suffered heavy losses, thus completely sealing their feud.

The eldest son and his family returned home looking dejected; they still had to deal with Liang Cuier's matter.

My head is throbbing again.

Since things have come to this, the divorce is a done deal. Liang Cuier can no longer return to the Han family and live with them, and the Han family has no right to do so.

The Liang family stormed into the Han family's house, demanding a divorce agreement and compensation. They ransacked the house, smashing everything inside and out, and even gave Han Songlian a beating.

Han Fengshi was furious, anxious, and resentful. Heartbroken that her home had been robbed and destroyed, she decided to throw caution to the wind and curse the Liang family and Liang Cuier for being heartless. Zhang Shi, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't let her curse. She and Mao Shi pulled and beat her up as well.

After the Liang family left with disdain, Han Fengshi wept bitterly, guarding her dilapidated home that had utterly lost everything. Han Songlian squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, without saying a word, while Han's mother silently wiped her eyes.

The Han family is completely finished.

From now on, no one will want to associate with them, and no one will avoid them when they see them.

Han's mother knew that if Han Fengshi stayed at home, people outside would think all sorts of things about her and her youngest son, and the unpleasant rumors would never stop for the rest of their lives.

The only solution is to drive Han Feng away.

Her youngest son is practically useless, but she still has her grandson.

She couldn't let this matter be brought up and discussed so often, whether her grandson would be able to live a decent life when he grew up.
Han's mother asked someone to invite Han Fengshi's brother and sister-in-law from her maternal family to come and divorce her on behalf of her deceased eldest son. She was extremely determined to have Han Fengshi's brother and sister-in-law take her away.

Han Fengshi naturally refused.

Since she'd already lost all face, she might as well go all out. She'd thought it over and decided to just go with Han Songlian. The villagers wouldn't bother with her anyway, so she might as well cut ties and live her own life. She was very confident she could control Han Songlian.

My mother-in-law is already old, and she has suffered a series of shocks; she may not have much longer to live.

After my mother-in-law passes away, she will be the one in charge of the family even more.

What can gossip from others have to do with her if she doesn't care?

Deep down, she felt even more hatred for Xu Zhichun and the Liang family, believing that they were the ones who had caused her to end up like this.

She decided to stay here, for as long as possible; she refused to believe she wouldn't have a chance for revenge.

If one or two years isn't enough, what about ten years? Will that work?

She never expected that her usually meek mother-in-law would actually divorce her.

No, no!
If I go back with my brother and sister-in-law, they will definitely look down on me and will just find someone to marry me off to.

With her situation, how could she possibly marry into a good family? Impossible!

When Han Fengshi could not persuade her mother-in-law, she began to shout and yell at Han Songlian, begging him to save her and cursing him for being irresponsible, incompetent, and a coward.
Han's mother nearly fainted from anger, clutching her chest and crying, "What sins have I committed? What sins have I committed!"

Fortunately, she had sent her son up the mountain to chop firewood, otherwise she would not know what kind of scene this would have been.

The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so someone found a rag and stuffed it into Han Fengshi's mouth. Then, the men her brother and sister-in-law brought forcibly dragged her away.

Han Fengshi never appeared again after that.

Zhang finally felt much more relieved.

As for her own daughter, she was annoyed but could only keep her at home for the time being, and wait until she found a suitable husband to marry her off.

The eldest branch of the family didn't dare to confront Liang Minglang about it. Although they were somewhat skeptical of what Bai Shi said, they had learned their lesson after being taken advantage of so many times.

Without evidence, you must not act rashly.

Otherwise, it's easy to be bitten back.

There was only one Xu family before, which was enough. Now there's also Liang Minglang. Only a madman would go looking for trouble with them without any evidence.

Even when Zhang wanted to ask Xu Zhichun to take care of Liang Cuier, hoping to use Xu Zhichun's reputation as a kind and benevolent lady to enhance Liang Cuier's reputation, she was scolded by Liang's uncle and had to give up the idea.

The members of the second branch of the Liang family had all gone out to work, so Liang Minglang slipped away unnoticed and quietly entered the second branch's courtyard.

Bai was so angry and upset, and after being severely beaten, she fell ill, complaining of headaches, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, and stayed home alone.

Liang Minglang's sudden appearance startled her so much that she almost fell to the ground.

"What are you doing here?!"

Although her nephew went to the army without bringing back any merit, Bai felt that he was different from before. He was like a gleaming sword, making people tremble with fear at just one glance.

Provoke him? Absolutely not.

"Second Aunt owes Zhichun, and I only collected a small amount of interest. Second Aunt, guess when the next interest payment will be?"

"you--"

"It was my fault for advising Ms. Xu to remarry just because she was young, I—"

"It seems Second Aunt underestimates me. If I'm gone, whether Madam Xu wants to remarry or not, I will respect her opinion. Whatever she does is not wrong. But that's no reason for you to interfere in her affairs, scheme against her, or harm her. Do I need to tell you what Second Aunt has done?"

"No, no, it's the eldest son's family. If you want to find them, go find the eldest son's family. Just ask around in the village and you'll find out what Zhang and the others did. You should go find them first."

“They are not as bold as my second aunt. After all, she was still talking nonsense in front of me. I will keep an eye on my second aunt and your family. Just you wait, second aunt.”

"What do you want to do! What exactly do you want to do!"

Bai is on the verge of a breakdown.

She couldn't take it anymore, she really couldn't take it anymore.

She'd had enough of this life of constant fear! Maybe they should just give her a quick death. No, no, she didn't want to die or suffer anymore; she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

Bai's body went limp, and she sat on the ground. "Minglang, please let me go. I won't dare to do it again. I will never dare to say a word or do anything about your family again. Please let me go. I promise I will stay far away from you from now on. I promise."

Liang Minglang looked at her expressionlessly. "Zhichun originally wanted to keep to herself and not interfere with you, right? She was having such a hard time, and not only did you not help her, you even harmed her. How could I let you live a peaceful life? Second Aunt, I'm not that easy to talk to."

"you"

"Han Fengshi has already been taken away by her brother and sister-in-law from her maternal family. Second Aunt, what do you think her fate will be?"

Bai's head buzzed, her vision went black, and she completely fainted.

Liang Minglang glanced at Bai Shi with icy eyes, then turned and left.

How could he possibly let her go? She murdered both Xu Zhichuns, and one of them even lost his life because of it.

With the weather fine and Liang Minglang's bamboo bow and arrows finished, he told Xu Zhichun that they could go into the mountains.
