Chapter 26: Mrs. Zheng's Retribution
A group of people walked towards the Zheng family in a mighty manner, especially those who usually had a bad relationship with the Zheng family, who all went to join in the fun.

The Zheng family was now in a state of panic. The Zheng brothers had just experienced the loss of their property and were already in a state of despair. They had been complaining since early morning and gradually became dissatisfied with Mrs. Zheng, feeling that she shouldn't have let the Zheng family of three into the house.

But this was still at the complaining stage. Everyone saw that the old lady was not in good spirits, looked listless, and was lying on the bed complaining of a headache. They didn't know what to say.

Who knew that a bomb would suddenly explode in the sky, and their mother would actually dare to prick the little girl with a needle.

They really knew nothing about this. They had not been to the girl's house very often before and had seen Chaochao a few times, but they mostly ignored the girl. At most, they would ask her to bring them some tea, and they didn't know anything else.

However, the eyes of several daughters-in-law flickered, and they looked a little guilty.

They did know about the mother-in-law pricking Chao Chao with a needle, but it was mainly because after the pricking, Old Lady Zheng lectured them. She said child brides needed to be properly disciplined, and if they weren't tamed now, they would definitely have bad intentions in the future. She also took the opportunity to lecture them, saying that a wife's purpose was to serve her husband.

Mrs. Zheng's idea is consistent with that of old lady Zheng.

At that time, the daughters-in-law just grumbled in their hearts and did not dare to say a word to help Chao Chao. But when they heard the news coming out from the sky, they knew that it was all over.

Sure enough, the villagers of Zhengjia Village came rushing over.

Someone directly called out to Old Lady Zheng, "You old hag, you really have a black heart. People like you don't deserve to eat my eggs. Give me back the eggs I gave you yesterday."

"Yes, and return the two cakes I gave you."

"What a damned thing! What a scoundrel! No wonder your daughter is also so mean-spirited. It turns out she learned that from you."

"Old lady Zheng, please come out. Don't hide in there pretending to be dead."

Old Lady Zheng hid in the house. She was so shocked that her head hurt so much that she didn't even bother to listen to Tianmu. Naturally, she didn't know what was going on.

But the noise outside was too loud, especially when someone was calling her by name. Although Old Lady Zheng was drowsy, she still heard a few words.

She half leaned against the pillow and shouted to He, the second daughter-in-law who was taking care of her in the room, "What are you yelling for outside? Are you dead? I have a terrible headache and you won't chase me away. Are you deliberately trying to kill me?"

He used to treat her with respect, after all, all the money in the family was in her hands.

But now it's different. I've lost all my money, and it was this old woman who made me lose it. She had the nerve to scold me after causing such a big disaster.

She immediately stood up angrily, "I chased them away? Why should I chase them away? Didn't you bring this upon yourself? They're here to settle accounts with you. We're all implicated by you."

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at her in disbelief. After her daughter and son-in-law robbed her of money yesterday, her daughter-in-law was now rebelling.

She slammed the bed and yelled, "Second brother, come and take a look! Your wife wants to kill me! She's so unfilial! I won't live any longer."

Zheng Lao Er ran in and yelled at He Shi when he saw this, "I asked you to take care of mom, and this is how you do it? Believe it or not, I'll divorce you."

"Okay, divorce me. Your Zheng family is now hated by everyone. If you divorce me, I will see who dares to marry into your family since you have no money and no good reputation. If you are a man, divorce me. I will not stay in this broken family anymore."

After saying this, He turned around and left, returning to her room to pack her luggage.

Zheng Laoer was stunned and slapped his thigh, "Oh, I'm just talking, why are you so anxious?" As he said that, he chased after her. He ignored him and took the two children back to her parents' home. Zheng Laoer immediately chased after her.

After the second and third sons left, they looked at each other, the house, and then at the villagers outside who were pointing and watching the excitement, and began to make some plans in their minds.

Old Lady Zheng was already calling out to the third daughter-in-law, Li, "I'm so mad, so mad at these two unfilial people. Third daughter-in-law, come in and get me a glass of water."

Li came into the house, but her attitude was very perfunctory. "Mother, don't rush to drink water. It's very noisy outside. You should think of a solution. Return the eggs and cakes you collected yesterday. Don't hide them by yourself and not share them with the children."

Old Lady Zheng was furious. "Are you blaming me? What's wrong with me accepting two egg cakes? I have a headache, can't I take a rest?"

"That pastry is just to fill your mouth, it doesn't replenish anything."

"I said I can make up for it, and you come to make me angry, you bitch. I'm your mother-in-law, and you dare to talk to me like that." Old Mrs. Zheng's face turned red, and she threw anything she could get on the bed.

But she had no strength and her legs were not stable. With a push, she fell under the bed.

Li was shocked and hurried to help the woman up, but it was too late. When Old Lady Zheng stood up again, her eyes were dull and her saliva was flowing uncontrollably.

This was the scene that the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou, saw when she heard the noise and came in.

"Ah..." She screamed, attracting others to come in.

Mr. Zheng and his wife immediately pointed at Li and asked, "What did you do to mother?"

Mrs. Li reacted quickly, "What can I do? Mother was mad at my sister-in-law yesterday, and today there was such a commotion outside. I just served her some water, but I didn't do anything else. But my sister-in-law was clearly at home yesterday, and she actually had all the money in the house stolen."

"Bullshit."

The two families soon began to argue, and even started fighting. No one cared about Old Lady Zheng lying in bed, and no one thought of calling a doctor.

By the time the villagers outside got impatient and heard the quarrel and ran in, everyone in both families was injured. Old Mrs. Zheng had suffered a stroke, with her eyes and mouth crooked. The doctor shook his head and just said to take good care of her.

But who will take care of her is a problem. Now the first and third wives have fallen out, so it is impossible for them to live together. The old lady has no money, so everyone wants to shirk responsibility.

Therefore, not long after, the second wife, who had just returned to her parents' home, was called back again.

The Zheng family began to discuss the division of the family property, which caused a lot of noise. In the end, the eldest branch of the family got more real estate and land, and the task of taking care of the old lady fell on them.

However, whether the care is good or not is another matter.

The villagers sighed over this and became more convinced that those who had bullied Chao Chao in the past would not have a good end.

When this matter reached Shangliu Village, those who had bad things to do with Chao Chao became even more terrified.

Of course, these are things to follow.
