Song Zhou had used up almost all the courage she had accumulated in her lifetime. She gritted her teeth and stood in the middle of the mourning hall as she faced a few vicious-looking elders from the Song clan who had ulterior motives. No matter what, she refused to adopt that boy.

She was not stupid. She naturally knew why these people had appeared in her house today.

Once this boy stayed at their house, it would be difficult for her to chase him out after that!

The Song family’s elders didn’t expect Song Zhou’s unyielding attitude.

After all, if there was anything that needed the clansmen’s help in the past, Song Zhou, who was usually accompanied by her mother-in-law, Old Madam Guo, had always been gentle and timid.

She wouldn’t even dare to look up, let alone say a word or two.

Therefore, they didn’t take Song Zhou and her daughters seriously at first. They only wanted to bring this child over to threaten Song Zhou. Then, this matter would be settled!

However, this time, their plans fell through.

Song Zhou’s firm attitude completely exceeded their expectations.

As a result, they had been here for so long and used the carrot and stick approach, but it was useless. Song Zhou refused to compromise.

For a moment, the situation fell into a stalemate.

These elders didn’t dare to act out in public, but in the Song family, they had always been domineering.

Now, a woman like Song Zhou, who they usually didn’t take seriously, was disobeying them. How could they tolerate this?

One of the hot-tempered old men could not help but curse Song Zhou fiercely. Seeing that she still refused to lower her head, he raised his hand at Song Zhou in anger…

However, before his slap landed, his arm was grabbed in midair.

Yin Qiao didn’t stand on ceremony with men who hit women. She tightened her grip until the elder begged for mercy. Only then did she reluctantly let go under Yuan Niang’s gaze. With a heavy push, she knocked him into the elders behind her, whose expressions changed drastically.

“Are you trying to cause trouble since you can’t get what you want, Sir?” Yuan Niang hurriedly helped Song Zhou to a relatively safe place while Yin Qiao stopped the old man. Then, she looked up at the elders in disdain and mocked them.

“You men with big beards actually ganged up to bully a helpless widow. How shameless of you guys!

Having lived for so long, don’t you guys have any sense of shame?”

“Who are you?” Seeing Yuan Niang and Yin Qiao suddenly appear, the Song family’s elders were clearly surprised.

The old man who had just suffered at Yin Qiao’s hands flew into a rage out of humiliation and roared at Yuan Niang and the others in dissatisfaction, “This is the Song family’s family matter. You outsiders should mind your own business!”

“Outsider? This is my sister! Something happened to my sister’s family. What’s wrong with me coming over to take a look?” Yuan Niang was not frightened by the old man’s bluff. She only snorted and continued to stare at him in disdain as she asked, “But speaking of outsiders, I’m a little confused by your family. Didn’t my sister’s husband get expelled by your family in public yesterday?

“So now that you’ve brought this child over, who do you want to adopt him?”

Yuan Niang’s question stunned the Song family’s elders on the other side.

That’s right. Song Jianxing had already been removed from the Song family and his name had been removed from the family tree by the patriarch yesterday night. Naturally, there’s also…

“Song Jianxing made a huge mistake and was expelled, but Mr. Song was a member of the Song family! Therefore, our clansmen should naturally come over and deal with his wife’s funeral!”

One of the elders reacted quickly. Although it was a little forced, it was better than standing there awkwardly without saying a word.

“Ha, 1 heard from you guys just now that you want this child to call my sister’s mother-in-law Grandma!

The problem is, my sister’s mother-in-law’s only son has already been expelled from the Song family. In that case, who will this child go to?

1 can’t let my sister’s mother-in-law have a grandson out of nowhere, right?”

Yuan Niang covered her mouth with her handkerchief and couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at the elders with mockery in her eyes. “In my opinion, the Song family is really smart!

“This is the only shop my sister and her daughters have left to survive on, but in order to snatch their money, you’re willing to disregard the reputation of your entire family!”

Yuan Niang’s words hit the nail on the head, so the surrounding crowd immediately agreed.

It was not that the onlookers wanted to interfere, but the Song family’s behavior was too outrageous!

Putting themselves in her shoes, if such a thing happened to their families, no one would be able to accept it!

Seeing that they could no longer obtain any benefits, the elders of the Song family decided to slip away first. They would come back after discussing it!

However, it was easy to come, but it was difficult to leave now.

After Constable Wang received County Governor Tang’s instructions, he led his buddies towards the crowd with a dark expression. Without a word, he waved at the Song family elders, who were still in a daze. “Take them all away!”

“Hey, what right do you guys have to arrest them?!”

“That’s right. What law did we break? Why are you arresting us?”

The elders only realized that something was wrong when they were chained up. Then, they immediately began to struggle violently.

Constable Wang didn’t indulge them. In the face of these old men’s resistance and accusations, he only snorted coldly and scolded, “You guys didn’t break the law?

You guys bullied others in the name of the clan and tried to snatch their family assets! You guys are acting so shameless for the sake of money, yet you still dare to say that you’re innocent?

There are so many people watching in broad daylight. You can’t deny it!

“Brothers, stop dawdling! According to the county governor’s instructions, bring all of them back!”
