Wang Clan's attitude was firm; she simply wouldn't go.
As the mother-in-law, every time it was she who admitted fault, how could she then stand her ground in this family?
Tan Zhengyong sighed, deciding he should go again after all.
If his brother-in-law got accepted as a Scholar, it would reflect well on him too, and it would spare the two families from looking bad later on.
Moreover, his daughter-in-law had taken his son away, how could he ignore that?
With a tone of displeasure, Wang Clan said, "Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have given birth to you lot, the debt collectors. Each one of you forgets his mother after getting a wife!"
The second, third, and fourth sons were all tightly controlled by their wives, especially the youngest, whose wife he obeyed without question. He'd even boast that it was her who had 'reattached' his legs, so he listened only to her commands.
As for the eldest, he was so smitten with a widow he'd lost all sense of himself!
