Chapter 2495: Chapter 2495: One Foot in the Grave
…
On the mountain, the Clan Leader found Daya, while down in An Clan Village, after returning home, Daya’s Father cornered Daya’s Mother, who was trying to sneak away.
Without any warning, he slapped her hard across the face.
“Ah!”
Daya’s Mother screamed out in pain.
It took her a long moment to react, covering her face with one hand, she turned dazedly to stare at Daya’s Father, who was fuming with anger.
“Child’s father, have you lost your mind? Why are you hitting me?”
She had already been scolded last night, so why was she being hit as soon as he walked in today?
Did marrying into their family mean she was there to be hit? It hadn’t always been like this, it was just the past couple of days that this cowardly man started hitting her.
“What gives you the right to hit me? What did I do to provoke you?” she demanded angrily.
“Son, what’s the matter with you? Why are you hitting the child’s mother?” A white-haired old woman came over, looking anxiously at the two of them, she asked.
Last night, it was because this woman was too outrageous, saying things she shouldn’t, which is why she got hit. But what is going on today? Why is he hitting her right after entering the house?
Could it be a habit now? That’s not a good habit!
“Son, in our family, we don’t resort to hitting our daughters-in-law, can’t we just talk things over?” The old man chimed in. In his entire life, he had never even raised his voice against his old wife, let alone hit her.
But he also knew his son wouldn’t hit someone for no reason, there had to be some reason.
“Tell me what’s really going on?” he asked.
“Dad, ask this woman what she’s done?” Daya’s Father shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, two pairs of eyes stared straight at Daya’s Mother, the old couple wanted to know what shady things this daughter-in-law was up to again.
“Daughter-in-law, what did you do this time?” the old man asked.
“What did I do? What could I do, I haven’t done anything!” Of course, Daya’s Mother wouldn’t admit to going to see the Clan Leader, who knows if that’s the issue?
“Still denying it!”
When Daya’s Father heard that she was still denying it, he got even angrier.
“The Clan Leader came to find me, and you’re still standing here saying you’ve done nothing?” He was about to explode, how could this woman be so troublesome?
Are the sons being raised at Prince An Yang’s side not good enough? Why insist on bringing things to light, they’re just farmers struggling to make a living, what future could they offer the children!
Besides, it’s not like they can just reclaim the children at will, they only recognize Princess An Yang as their mother!
“The… Clan Leader?”
Upon hearing the term Clan Leader, Daya’s Mother took a step back nervously.
She couldn’t help but curse that old man on the inside, with one foot already in the grave, still meddling in others’ business. If he wanted to negotiate with An Jiuyue, just do it, why bring this matter up with her husband?
Moreover, that old man hadn’t even agreed to speak with An Jiuyue on her behalf.
The senile old thing, not only wouldn’t help her, but even forewarned her husband, what should she do now?
“Clan Leader? Son, what foolishness has your wife gone to the Clan Leader with this time?”
The old man immediately figured out that it must have been this daughter-in-law going to the Clan Leader to gossip once again, disrupting the peace of the family unnecessarily.
