The fourth child had long been accustomed to being bullied by Tian Guilan. In Tian Guilan's eyes, the fourth child was simply a soft persimmon that could be manipulated at will, and she didn't take the fourth child seriously at all.

"Wait!" La Mei shouted, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Lamei stared at Tian Guilan and demanded, "Didn't you say your family is the richest in the village? Why are you snatching even this little bit of food? Aren't you ashamed?"

Lamei's tone became more and more fierce, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Her mother had said that from now on, she would not be afraid of anything, and if she was bullied, she would fight back fiercely.

"My servants' stay or departure is decided by my mother. When is it your turn as an outsider to point fingers?" La Mei straightened her chest, no longer as timid as before.

Tian Guilan was furious and roared, "Rebellion, rebellion! How dare you talk to me like that!"

Xiuying was so rude to her that day, but she didn't take it to heart. Now the fourth brother is so disrespectful to her. It seems that this family has a bad temper. Tian Guilan thought viciously while panting.

It seems that if I don’t teach this ignorant girl a lesson today, how can I establish my authority in the village in the future? I’ll just make an example of her. Tian Guilan thought viciously in her heart, her face becoming more ferocious, and she came forward to grab Lao Si.

Fortunately, the woman next to La Mei quickly grabbed her. Tian Guilan couldn't break free and roared in anger, "I'm your aunt, how dare you let someone stop me."

The woman looked at Lamei, waiting for instructions. Lamei said calmly, "Take her to the back hill and teach her some manners. Don't disturb everyone's meal."

Lamei's expression was very calm and her tone was cold, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

Tian Guilan was held tightly by the women. She struggled desperately, swearing obscenely. The women didn't care. Two of them quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from making any more obscene sounds.

Tian Guilan's two sons, Dafu and Dagui, saw their mother being dragged away and tried to stop her. But Dafu had just taken two steps when he was stopped by several strong men.

The men were all strong and muscular, with serious expressions. One of them glared at Dafu Dagui and shouted, "You little bastard, don't be ungrateful and stay here!"

The rich and powerful were frightened by the sudden roar. They looked at the men's fierce eyes and strong bodies and felt terrified.

Dafu Dagui could only watch helplessly as his mother was covered with her mouth by the servants and dragged to the back mountain.

The women dragged Tian Guilan all the way to a secluded place in the back hills before releasing her. As soon as Tian Guilan was free, she started throwing tantrums and cursing again.

"How dare you, a bunch of ungrateful people, treat me like this!" Tian Guilan's voice was sharp and piercing.

An older woman stepped forward and said sternly, "Tian Guilan, you've gone too far! You're arrogant and domineering on a normal day, and today you want to act wildly in front of the young lady!" The woman put her hands on her hips and glared at him.

Another woman immediately said, "Our young lady was so kind as to prepare food for everyone, but you came here to mess things up. Do you really think no one can stop you?"

Tian Guilan tried to resist, but was held down again by the women.

"We have to teach you a lesson today!" the women said.

The women rushed forward, some of them grabbed Tian Guilan's hair, making her unable to move; some of them raised their hands and pinched her back fiercely; and some of them kicked her legs twice. Tian Guilan screamed in pain, but she couldn't break free.

"Let's see if you dare to be so arrogant again in the future!" The women scolded her while listing all her faults.

Tian Guilan was stubborn at first, but gradually, under the "education" of the women, she finally gave in and began to beg for mercy: "I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me!"

When the women saw that she had admitted her mistake, they stopped, warned her not to bully their young lady again, and then left.

After the women left, Tian Guilan collapsed on the ground, her hair disheveled and her face filled with anger and embarrassment. She roared, "Oh my God! Xiuying, you bastard!"

After yelling, she looked around vigilantly, fearing that the yelling would attract other people.

At this time, Tian Guilan's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. Her body was trembling slightly. She nervously observed the movements around her. After making sure that there was no sound around, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, the resentment in her heart towards Xiuying's family became stronger.

Tian Guilan gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with viciousness, secretly planning how to take revenge in the future.

……

After Mr. Chen returned from delivering the sweet potatoes, he stayed at Xiuying's house. During these days, Xiuying and her family took good care of Mr. Chen, and the two of them got along very well.

Lamei came back with the woman who brought the food. Before they entered the yard, they saw Mr. Chen standing in front of the main hall saying goodbye to Xiuying. Awang followed closely beside Mr. Chen, with a look of reluctance on his little face.

Master Chen gently touched Awang's head and soothed him with a loving face: "Child, Dad will come to pick you up after he has dealt with things." Master Chen's eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance, and his voice was especially gentle.

"You handled the situation at Fenglai Tower very well last time," Master Chen praised with a smile. "Faced with such a complicated situation, you remained calm and responded appropriately. Father is very pleased."

Mr. Chen's eyes were full of admiration and pride. He reached out and gently patted Awang's shoulder. Xiuying was a good teacher. It was right to keep the child here.

Awang raised his head, tears in his eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Dad, you must come pick me up soon."

Mr. Chen slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage that had been waiting for a long time with steady and firm steps.

Lamei walked into the house in a hurry and told Xiuying everything that happened when she delivered the meal with a slightly anxious look.

There was a hint of uneasiness in Lamei's eyes. After she finished speaking, she asked expectantly, "Mother, am I doing this right?"

Xiuying looked at Lamei's nervous expression, smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said firmly, "Yes."

Xiuying's eyes were full of love and encouragement, and she reached out and gently stroked Lamei's hair.

Now Xiuying's family not only has large tracts of fertile land and a prosperous business, but also has so many obedient and hardworking servants.

If she were bullied again, it would be unacceptable. What was the point of her working so hard and striving so hard?

Isn't it just to make this family prosperous, let the family live a good life, and prevent the daughters from being bullied at will?
