Quirky

After hearing what the old lady said, everyone was stunned.

Smash the stone table?

Why did she suddenly want to smash the stone table?

Lady Niu quickly comforted the old lady when she saw her cry with deep sorrow. “What’s wrong? Don’t cry. What if you hurt your body?”

The moment when Lady Zhu said that, that man shook slightly and his body seemed to be frozen.

“Your daughter will be devastated if she knows how sad you are. She has always been a good girl.” Everyone comforted her one after another. They seemed to have never thought that Lady Zhu would suddenly cry.

In fact, they were the ones who searched the yard back then. They just didn’t dig three feet into the ground.

Besides, this son-in-law treated the old lady very well. If she really fell out with him, she would have nobody to bury her and would be the one who was miserable instead.

When Lady Zhu saw everyone hesitate, she cried even harder.

“Mother, you…” The man quickly got up with his eyes red, looking very uncomfortable.

“Don’t call me mother!” Lady Zhu shouted.

She stood up as she trembled with tears all over face.

“Please, my friends, help me smash this stone table! We’ll know everything when you smash it!” Lady Zhu’s voice shook and she gritted her teeth hard. She wanted to be wrong more than anyone else.

Lady Niu looked at that stone table in shock.

The old lady was suspecting him?

Thinking about this, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Her entire body only felt freezing.

The man tightened his lips. “Mother, I know you’ve always suspected me. No matter how good I treat you, you suspect me.” Then, he started crying silently.

“Yes, I’m a poor man. This house was also built with your money. I’m not enough for her. However, have I treated her badly over these years? I even brought her water to wash her feet. All these years I’ve respected you like you’re my own mother, but you still suspect me.”

A man never cried easily, but because of that, people held bias towards him instead.

Smashing the table would probably hurt her son-in-law’s heart.

“You chose to trust the fraud in the Palace of Salvation instead of me.” The man was extremely helpless. He looked like there were things he couldn’t say, which made everyone feel sorry for him.

“Her son-in-law is quite good. The old lady must have become a bit muddled as she grew older.” Jiang Huaian shook his head slightly. That man seemed upright and didn’t look like a treacherous person.

Xiao Huailu glanced at him. Jiang Huaian felt that his sister seemed to be looking at him with pity on her face.

“Why are you looking at me?” Jiang Huaian looked confused.

Xiao Lu shook her head frustratedly. “Luckily, the members of our family aren’t court officials anymore. Brother, you dodged a bullet.” If this was reported to court, the future of the Jiang family would be worrying.

Xiao Lu walked to the stone table and saw the old lady crying her eyes out, but nobody wanted to do it.

She then walked in front of the old lady and used her shoulder to support the old lady.

The old lady was shocked. She lowered her head and looked at this young girl with delicate features.

The little girl put her hands on her hips and yelled, “Lady Zhu said if you don’t smash the stone table for her, she’ll bang herself against it until she dies!” The little girl said with energy in her babyish voice.

Everyone went silent.

The old lady was dumbfounded. “I, I, I didn’t say that?”

But in a heartbeat, she thought it through and immediately hit the stone table with her forehead desperately.

“Oh God! Why are you doing this?” Lady Niu and the others immediately pulled her back. Although the old lady lived alone, she had always been the best person she could all these years.

Who hadn’t received her favor?

When the days were hard in the early years, she brought leftovers back from the inner city every day. Who hadn’t eaten that?
