Unconvinced

"You can confront me openly. What is the point of playing tricks behind someone's back? If you don't like me, we can live separately. I won't stand in your way, okay!"

Angry and irritated, Ms. Zhang felt the pain on her swollen cheek. Covering up her cheek with her palm, she burst into tears. "I didn't! You are accusing me of something I didn't do. Oh god, you hit me! I am your sister-in-law! What rules are you following? I know you can bully me because your family has money, and you have never liked me. But… you can't accuse me of wrongdoings!"

"Oh my god, I gave birth to children for the Shao Family and I work all the time. In return, is this all I can get? Even you dare to hit me!"

"Stop it now!" Ms. Niu got so angry and dragged Ms. Yan into the yard, bellowing at Ms. Zhang to follow in.

They could not just keep talking outside, else they were giving the village a free show.

Ms. Zhang did not want to go in, and she bellowed even more loudly.
