"Since you don't think much of our humble abode, we won't be forced to part with it either. Go wherever you want, we're struggling to survive ourselves."
Ruan Mian waved her hand, signaling her family to leave, unwilling to argue further.
Mrs. Ye, furious, shook off her son's hand and chased after Mrs. Zhang.
"Are you really going to leave us alone? Fifth Sister! Back then, when your son created those rebellious songs, my son had just become an official! Because of what your son did, my son's position was lost too!"
"Our whole family was demoted to mere local officials, and all our properties in the Capital City were lost overnight! It's all your fault! And now you..."
Mrs. Zhang initially felt a sense of guilt, but anger boiled within her as soon as her son, Zhang Xingzhi, was brought up.
She retorted without any politeness, "Your son? His position was bought, wasn't it? If he can't hold it steadily, who's to blame?!"
