There was a low cry from all around, and Old Lady Wu stood up and said sternly: "Hua Zhi, what do you want to do? Let go!"
Hua Zhi curled her lips slightly, and contrary to everyone's expectations, she really let go. Old Mrs. Yang was also very surprised, but she would never miss this opportunity. She raised her hand up and then dropped it heavily, but was caught again when it was about to touch her face, and this time Hua Zhi used some strength.
Without looking at Old Madam Yang's distorted face, Hua Zhi looked at Old Madam Wu, "I listened to you and let go, but what happened? Did everyone in this room gang up on me?"
She did let go, and she almost got slapped. No one could say anything. Even Old Lady Wu wanted to speak up for the Yang family, but she could only use the seniority as an excuse, "She's an elder after all, don't bother with her."
"If I got slapped like that, would Mrs. Wu also tell me not to bother with an elder?"
Old Mrs. Wu's face turned red when her worries were revealed. She had prepared this sentence already, and although she said it out loud, the meaning was completely different.
But she refused to admit it, glared at him, and said, "What are you talking about? How could I do that? But she is older than me after all. If you insist on being unreasonable, she will become unreasonable. It is better to let it go for the sake of her being an elder."
"Respecting the elderly does not mean respecting their age, but respecting their character. Some people live their whole lives but just eat for decades in vain." Hua Zhi let go of her hand and sat still fearlessly, with even a provocative look in her eyes.
How could Old Lady Yang bear this provocation? Even though her hand was soft and numb at this moment, her other hand could move. She was now so close that she pounced on Hua Zhi and was about to tear her face apart.
At the same time Hua Zhi dodged, she also kindly hooked the chair to the side, so that the old lady would not fall on the chair and knock out her old teeth. However, there was no shelter in front, and Yang's daughter was unable to help her in time. Everyone in the room could only watch as Old Lady Yang was about to fall to the ground. Hua Zhi, who had dodged, stepped forward to help her beyond their expectations. Although she still fell, her fall was not so serious.
When Old Lady Yang looked up, she saw Hua Zhi looking down at her with mockery in her eyes. She was stunned for a moment. She had been in charge of the household for decades, and every daughter-in-law was under her control. She had the final say in the inner house. When had she ever suffered such humiliation!
Her hands and feet reacted faster than her brain. Before she could get up, she swung at Hua Zhi's face who was still supporting her. This time, she was actually hit by the sword. Although it was just a light scratch, it was considered a hit in the eyes of others. Moreover, Hua Zhi even turned her head away!
Old Madam Yang knew very well that she had failed to hit Hua Zhi, and she became more and more unwilling to accept the result. Seeing that Hua Zhi was within her reach, she immediately pounced on her without thinking. She just wanted to scratch Hua's seductive face!
This time, Hua Zhi retreated cleanly, and Old Lady Yang was badly beaten, but no one could blame Hua Zhi for retreating in the wrong way.
It's not that she didn't try to help, but what she got in return was another beating from Old Lady Yang. No one would turn the right cheek after being hit on the left.
Yang's daughter hurried forward to help, her face red, she was very embarrassed that her grandmother had done such a thing in front of so many people.
But Old Lady Yang pushed her away with such force that the unprepared Yang girl fell on her butt. She screamed softly, and this cry was like turning on a switch in Old Lady Yang's ears. She retracted her aggressive attitude and hummed softly.
"Ouch, ouch..."
Everyone looked at each other. Hua Zhi stood aside and watched coldly. She knew what Old Lady Yang was planning, but she was not in a hurry at all. The first time she went to help her was to show everyone, but also to prevent Old Lady Yang from falling hard and getting hurt so that she could not get away. The second time she did not help her because she knew that nothing would happen at that height.
The others were too far away to see, but she saw it clearly. After she fell, the old lady's face didn't change at all. She still looked as if she wanted to tear her apart, which showed that she didn't feel any pain at all.
In this case, the drama will continue. The reason she came here is to break off relations with the Yang family in front of everyone, letting everyone know that the two families are no longer related, and Yang Zheng should never again reach out to the Hua family.
Old Madam Wu really thought that Old Madam Yang had really fallen and hurt herself, so she signaled the maids to help her up. She followed and asked hurriedly, "Where did you fall? Was it serious? Old Madam, quickly ask someone to invite the doctor into the house."
"yes."
A group of people gathered around and tried to help the man up, as it was really awkward to lie on the ground.
At this moment everyone remembered that the background of the old lady of the Yang family was not comparable to theirs. Even those with a slightly lower background were still decent wealthy families. But the old lady Yang was just an orphan who came to seek refuge with the ancestor of the Yang family. It was not surprising that she would act like a spoiled brat.
Even though they were in the same camp, they really didn't like this kind of behavior, and their expressions became duller as they watched.
Old Mrs. Yang, who was being supported and sitting in a chair, was still shouting in pain, and she looked like she was about to die in pain.
Old Mrs. Wu saw through the trick and looked up at the overly young head of the Hua family. She actually didn't want to be the bad guy. Her daughter was still in the Hua family, and she had never forgotten that it was this girl who saved her daughter's life. But these private affairs were not worth mentioning in front of the family.
The Yang family promised that as long as the Wu family stood on the Yang family's side in this matter, the master's promotion would be a sure thing. She couldn't bear to leave her daughter and couldn't sleep every night. She couldn't help but wipe away tears when she thought about her daughter's future situation in her husband's family. However, she not only had a daughter, but also a son and grandson, and the future of the Wu family. She knew which was more important, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had to do what she had to do.
"Big girl, do you have any rules for this matter?"
"What the old lady said is interesting. The tea party was held by the Wu family, and the people fell in the Wu family, but you come to ask me about the rules. Can I still make the decision?" Hua Zhi pursed her hair and let Nanny Su help her sit on the other side. "Whatever happens, I will continue."
Zheng smiled and said, "Young lady, don't be so angry. After all, it was because of you that the old lady of the Yang family fell down, so she has to be at peace with you."
"To be exact, it was the old lady of the Yang family who fell down when she was beating me. The eldest lady is so vague that people who hear her will think that I did something to her. I will not bear such an injustice. I think the Wu family will not wrongly accuse a junior like me."
Hua Zhi suddenly smiled again, "If the Wu family really says so, it's fine. If I have the Wu family as my companion, then I will suffer a loss, so what?"
Zheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the Wu family had to bear half the blame.
