Rong Yi did not want to make the matter any more uglier than it already was but now that Rong Xi was using the label of unfilial then she might as well break the pot. Unfilial, Unfilial, Unfilial—— just how many times she had heard this term?
Even when she was pushed off the building, her mother did not punish Rong Xi, in fact, she told her that since her leg had become lame there was no point in ruining Rong Xi.
It was better to let Rong Xi lead her team and simply stay at home and eat. Back then her mother spoke a lot of flowery words saying that she did not have to do anything but Rong Yi was smart.
She knew that her mother was only speaking nonsense, once the team was gone she would have a hard time even getting a meal which was why she was determined to punish Rong Xi for her actions but her mother suddenly called her unfilial, straightforwardly saying that if she sent Rong Xi to the Yamen then she would not admit her as her daughter and even clean her up from the clan.
Getting cleaned up from the clan could not be considered a small matter, if she was really cleared out of the clan then Rong Yi was sure that she would not be able to find even a space to live thus she could only lower her head.
But once she lowered her head, she had to lower her head all the time. Did not give money to stepfather? Unfilial. Did not give ration to stepfather? Unfilial. Did not move out of the house to a small shack for her niece?
Unfilial.
Rong Yi had been called unfilial so many times that she no longer cared about it anymore! It was because of filial piety that she ended up in this situation and almost lost her husband and child.
Who could bear such a pain? She could not!
Whoever dared to suffer such a pain then they were more than welcome to suffer in place of her.
" You… You have gone crazy !" Old Madam Rong spat out, she never thought that Rong Yi would say such words, after all, no matter how harshly she was treated her daughter had always lowered her head but now she was saying that she wanted to leave. How could this be allowed?
Rong Yi snickered and said, " Yes, I have gone crazy! I was pushed off a building by your daughter and broke my leg. But instead of punishing her, you snatched my team and handed it to her! If that was not bad enough, after I turned limp, you kicked me out of the house to live in a small shack and only gave me things that Rong Xi did not want."
" I thought that it would be enough but then you would come to me and take away the pheasants that I hunt under the pretext that I was alone and could not eat much, why can't I eat much? I was recovering from injuries! Forget about a pheasant I could eat two! I went to the mountains with my limp leg all because I was hungry but what did you do? You snatched everything!"
Rong Yi's eyes turned red as she wiped her tears, all the grievances that she had accumulated poured out one after another.
" If your tyranny was limited to only this then I would have never said anything but then you also took away the funds that were meant for Shiqi, I almost lost my daughter because of you! Only your daughter is precious? And I and my husband are weeds that could be crushed as you want? We are humans too, we deserve to live as well, who are you to tell me that I have to give everything up for Rong Xi?
If you wanted her to live a comfortable life then you should have either worked hard or you should have asked her to work hard! Why did you snatch everything from me? What did I even do to you all?"
Old Madam Rong was speechless, she looked at Rong Yi with a shocked look on her face, she never expected that her daughter would bring out their dirty laundry and hang it up in front of others. She stared at Rong Yi without saying anything but then she saw the contemptuous expressions of the villagers and her expression changed again and again.
It was over for their family. Now that this matter was known, no one would be willing to give face to the Rong family!
" You bastard! I will deal with you today!" As Old Madam Rong screamed she rushed at Rong Yi, every one thought that Rong Yi would not be able to escape because of her limp leg but before Old Madam Rong could hurt Rong Yi, she was stopped by Yu Dong who caught her wrist and then threw her down. This time, she did not control her strength and Old Madam Rong fell on the ground with a loud thump.
" Oww, my waist!" Old Madam Rong cried out loud while holding the back of her waist. She was really worried that she would end up lying on the bed if her waist was broken.
" Wife!"
" Mother!"
Old Madam Rong fell on the ground and her face crumpled in pain, seeing this Old Master Rong and Rong Xi were really terrified. Not because they cared about Old Madam Rong but because Old Madam Rong could still work in the fields. Even if she did not earn much by taking care of the five mu of land, they could eat without worry and there were also four mu of rice paddies.
If something happened to Old Madam Rong, who would take care of so much land?
" Village owner, what is the meaning of this ?" Old Master Rong asked angrily.
But Yu Dong did not even give him a good look, instead, she turned to look at Old Madam Rong and asked, " Does it hurt? Did it feel scary just now?"
Old Madam Rong was in so much pain that she did not dare to say anything, she only looked at Yu Dong with hatred in her eyes.
Seeing this Yu Dong sneered, " You only fell on the ground and felt a little bit of pain and yet your eyes are glaring at me as if you want to eat me alive. Think of your daughter who was pushed off a building and was left to die, think of the pain that she suffered. You haven't even suffered the pain of being abandoned yet! Tell me, Old Madam Rong, how did it feel?"
