Especially Wang Qiuhua and Miao Cuilan - they were not exactly well-off. They were still scrimping and saving to make up for all the things they had given earlier!
So when Jiang Yingqiu mocked them, it hit a sore spot.
Jiang Yingqiu was not afraid of them at all. She said, "Well, I'm talking about whoever did such things! Everyone knows what happened in the brigade at that time."
She was no pushover.
All these years, she had lived alone and raised her two sons. If she were so easily bullied, she would have been bullied to death.
She had no reason to fear these people. The Mo family were poor peasants by birth, and they were good elements. Her older brother was the leader of the Southern Lake Brigade. Her son was very successful and had many connections. Why would she need to be afraid of these old gossips?
