Chapter 2496: Chapter 2496: Where Did You Get the Nerve?!

“She…”

“Head of the Household, you must not listen to the Clan Leader’s nonsense. I didn’t say anything to him.”

Before Daya’s Father could say anything, Big Sister immediately proclaimed her innocence. As long as she didn’t admit it, no one could force her to confess to what she’d done.

“The Clan Leader is so old; who knows what he’s rambling about all day? Head of the Household, you can’t take his idle talk as something I said, can you? Who knows where he heard it from and just assumed I said it?”

“Keep making things up, keep going!”

Daya’s Father glared fiercely at the woman in front of him, genuinely puzzled about what was going on in her head.

Does she have to tear the family apart before she’ll stop?

“Son, what on earth has happened?” The old woman asked, seeing her son’s furious expression.

This daughter-in-law only ever knows to gossip about everyone, everywhere. If it were just meaningless chatter, that’d be one thing. But her mouth has gotten their family into trouble more than once.

“What trouble have you caused outside now? Why can’t you contain yourself and have to jabber on?”

“I… I…”

Knowing she was in the wrong, Big Sister didn’t dare to contradict her usually deferential mother-in-law, only daring to deny what she’d done.

“I really didn’t do anything… ah!”

Before she could finish, another slap landed from Daya’s Father.

“Still not admitting it?”

Daya’s Father was genuinely furious, feeling he could only resolve this by divorcing this ignorant woman.

“Let me tell you, if you keep this up, our family won’t accommodate you anymore. I’ll make you take the divorce papers back to your family!” he warned Big Sister.

“What?!”

The phrase ‘divorce papers’ shocked Big Sister.

Never did she expect that this honest man in front of her was thinking of divorcing her over such a minor matter.

“You… say that again!”

After a moment of shock, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed towards the man.

“You ungrateful thing, I bore children for your family, and you still want to divorce me? Heartless thing, have you forgotten that I gave birth to three sons for you?”

At her words, Daya’s Father merely gave a cold laugh, showing no concern for her outbursts, and with a single lift of his hand, he pushed her away.

“If you hadn’t brought it up, I’d have forgotten. The Clan Leader told me earlier that back then he sent someone to our home to ask about the two children. Why are neither I nor my parents aware of this?!”

He questioned coldly.

This woman had ignored his advice and still went to the Old Patriarch about the two children, and he could tolerate that.

But he had to clarify what happened back then. After the flood, only a few of them were left at home. He didn’t know, his parents hadn’t mentioned it, so it must have been this woman before him.

Evidently, people had come asking about the children, yet she claimed they weren’t missing?

“I…”

Big Sister, feeling guilty, dared not speak, her eyes flickering as she avoided Daya’s Father’s gaze.

“What? What are you saying?”

Upon hearing his son’s words, the old man immediately understood the situation.

He lowered his head, casting a chilling glance at his daughter-in-law, “I knew you didn’t like those two children, so I asked your mother-in-law to look after them. I didn’t expect anything from you. But you dared… dared to do such a thing! Where did you get the nerve?!”
