Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

At this moment, Xiuying hurried over with a few servants. Her brows were furrowed, as she had seen Tian Guilan making trouble on the hillside.

Xiuying shouted, "Wang Daya, Li Dongmei, quickly pull Tian Guilan away! She must be crazy."

Wang Daya and Li Dongmei rushed forward immediately after hearing Xiuying's order. Wang Daya hugged Tian Guilan's waist, while Li Dongmei grabbed Tian Guilan's arm. Together, they tried to pull Tian Guilan away from Master Chen.

"Tian Guilan, calm down! Don't make a scene here!" Wang Daya persuaded her while pulling her.

Li Dongmei also said: "That's right, if you have something to say, just talk it out, don't be so unreasonable!"

However, Tian Guilan had completely lost her mind at this time. She struggled desperately and kept shouting, "Let me go! I want Master Chen to give me an explanation!" She kicked her feet wildly, trying to break free from the restraints of Wang Daya and Li Dongmei.

Master Chen's face was gloomy. He looked at Tian Guilan with a sharp gaze and shouted, "Listen to me, Tian Guilan! Your two sons' injuries have nothing to do with me! This is entirely caused by them running around!"

Mr. Chen's voice was deafening, as if it was going to tear apart the air around him.

"I advise you not to be ungrateful. I, Chen, have always valued peace in Futian Village and have been tolerant of you in every way." Mr. Chen widened his eyes, pointed at Tian Guilan, and continued to shout.

Mr. Chen thought to himself, after all, this is Futian Village, you see them every day, and since his son is here, he didn't bother with Tian Guilan too much. If she were out there, if she had acted like this, he would have packed her up and thrown her down the mountain, why would he waste time talking to her here.

Xiuying narrowed her eyes slightly and gave the women behind her a sharp look. Receiving Xiuying's signal, the women immediately understood and stepped forward without hesitation. Together with Wang Daya and Li Dongmei, they restrained Tian Guilan.

These women were all servants of Xiuying's family. They had complaints about the unreasonable and domineering Tian Guilan and had long been fed up with her arrogance.

"Hmph, Tian Guilan, you've come to this day! You bully the village like a tyrant, and we've had enough!" One of the women said gritting her teeth.

Another woman chimed in, "Exactly. You think you're so capable that you look down on others. Now let's see how arrogant you can be!"

Several women held Tian Guilan captive, and one after another they complained about her faults. The long-suppressed dissatisfaction in their hearts completely erupted at this moment.

Tian Guilan looked at Xiuying angrily, her eyes almost spitting fire, and shouted: "Xiuying, do you know what you are doing? Do you still know who I am to you! How dare you let someone treat me like this!" Tian Guilan twisted her body hard, trying to break free from the women's restraints.

At this moment, a bucket of cold water splashed onto Tian Guilan without warning. Tian Guilan was completely chilled by the sudden cold water and instantly became quiet. Her hair was wet and stuck to her face, and she looked miserable.

Xiuying said softly, "How could I not know that you are my sister-in-law? It's just that you are making such a fuss that no one can have peace. Sister-in-law, have you calmed down?" Xiuying had a faint smile on her face, with no intention of giving in.

Taohua, Shiliu and Awang stood on the hillside, their hands shading behind them, watching intently what was happening in the village below.

Taohua opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help shouting, "Oh my God! Mom actually dared to pour cold water on my aunt." Taohua's eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.

Shi Liu also looked puzzled and tilted her head and said, "Wasn't mother afraid of my aunt before? Why does she dare to do this now?" Shi Liu frowned, her little face full of confusion.

Awang seemed relatively calm, with his hands folded across his chest, and said slowly: "Aunt Xiuying had only restrained her temper before. This is the real her." Awang's eyes were intelligent, as if he saw through everything.

Taohua listened, lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "I understand, now that mother has become strong, there is no need to swallow her anger like before."

Taohua showed a relieved smile on her face. She was happy about her mother's change. She liked her mother like this.

Shi Liu blinked her bright eyes and said seriously, "My aunt isn't as smart as my mother. She can only be clever and take advantage of others. Unlike my mother, she has her own ideas."

Pomegranate's little face turned red with excitement.

"Besides, now that mother has so many servants helping her, even if aunt-in-law wanted to hit someone, she wouldn't be able to do it."

Shi Liu continued, her tone full of pride for Xiuying and disdain for Tian Guilan.

"Hmph, let's see if she dares to act arrogant in front of us again!" Shi Liu wrinkled her nose and said angrily.

At the foot of the hill, Tian Guilan continued to make a fuss, but ultimately failed to gain the benefits she expected. Mr. Chen, looking helpless, took out the wages that Guangzong and Yaozu had earned for their seven days' work and gave them to Tian Guilan.

Mr. Chen frowned and took out another thirty coins from his purse and handed them to Tian Guilan. He told her seriously, "I'm giving you these extra thirty coins for Xiuying's sake. If Xiuying hadn't intervened and persuaded me to keep the peace and not to argue with you, I wouldn't have given you a penny more."

Tian Guilan snatched the money, muttering, "This is not enough. My two sons are injured like that..."

Tian Guilan's eyes were filled with greed and unwillingness, but she was intimidated by Mr. Chen's majesty and had to give up for the time being.

Master Chen, with a dignified look, ordered the steward to distribute the seven days' wages to everyone, and generously said, "Give everyone an extra sixty coins. You've all worked hard this time! Especially since you were injured while saving Guangzong and Yaozu."

When Tian Guilan heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, her face became very ugly, her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but secretly curse herself for being too impatient. If she hadn't been so noisy just now, perhaps she could have gotten more.

If I had known I could get so much more, I shouldn't have been so impulsive. Now, I have offended Mr. Chen and only got this little.

Tian Guilan gnashed her teeth secretly, regretting her decision to the point of rage.

Li Gang hurriedly drove the ox cart to send Guangzong and Yaozu back home. Li Gang did not dare to stop for a moment and drove the ox cart to Xiuying's house to return the cart.

After returning the car, Li Gang rushed home. Without even taking a breath, he told his father, the village chief, about the bandits he encountered while transporting sweet potatoes.
