After saying this, Chen Lang continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

Because he believed that what he had just said was enough to touch the hearts of these two women.

Why was Li Xiuzhi called a jinx? It was because she gave birth to a daughter.

Wang also gave birth to a daughter, and because of her old age and fading beauty, Zhang Ermaizi no longer slept with her, making it impossible for her to have a son.

And because of Chen Lang's unintentional words, Wang's privacy may have been exposed. She probably really had an affair with the big fool in the village.

With such a shameful thing happening, Wang naturally didn't dare to challenge Chen Lang again.

As for Qi, her situation was even more miserable. Wang at least had a daughter, but Qi couldn't even give birth to a daughter. The villagers called her a barren woman behind her back.

In addition, she was past childbearing age, so even if she chose Qi to give it a try, Zhang Damazi would no longer patronize her old land.

Chen Lang didn't say much, but every word he said was heart-wrenching.

The two women huddled together, looking at Chen Lang with resentment, wondering how such vicious words could come out of the mouth of a scholar.

The rest of the journey was peaceful.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Chen Lang jumped out of the car, gave the fare to Liu Dabizi, then found a secluded place, set up a pot to boil the duck eggs, and then walked home.

Before I even reached the door of my house, I heard Guoguo crying.

Chen Lang's heart almost broke when he heard the crying.

How dare that bastard bully my precious daughter!

Chen Lang kicked open the gate and saw Guoguo leaning in Li Xiuzhi's arms with her eyes swollen from crying.

Li Xiuzhi wiped her daughter's tears while glaring angrily at the woman in front of her.

Chen Lang put down the backpack, walked over to Guoguo, squatted down, gently wiped the tears from her face, and asked, "Tell Daddy, who bullied you?"

Chen Lang's return made Guo Guo find her backbone all of a sudden. She held Chen Lang's hand tightly and said, "Sister...sister stole my hairband...and hit me."

Chen Lang rubbed Guoguo's head and said, "Daddy will help you get it back!"

After saying that, he stood up and looked at the woman behind him and the little girl about six years old beside her.

It was the first time the little girl saw such a terrifying expression on Chen Lang's face, and she was so scared that she hid behind the woman.

Chen Lang said coldly: "Qian, return the things, and let Yueyue apologize to Guoguo, and I will not pursue this matter."

Qian, the wife of Chen Sanlang, was a well-known lazy woman.

But just because she looks good, Chen Sanlang is very tolerant of her laziness.

In addition, Qian was pregnant and gave birth to a big fat grandson for the Chen family in the second year after her marriage. Her status in the family instantly rose, and she treated Li Xiuzhi like a maid and ordered her around.

Yueyue is her second child. Although she is a girl like Guoguo, Yueyue enjoys the treatment of a princess, while Guoguo... is not even a maid.

After hearing Chen Lang's words, Qian scoffed and said, "Your daughter doesn't even have much hair, why would she need a hairband?"

"Yueyue's hair tie just happened to fall off on the way home, so I borrowed it. But your daughter was so stingy that not only did she refuse to lend it to me, she even pushed me away."

"You know Yueyue's temper. She will definitely fight back. If she's not careful, she'll push your daughter to the ground."

After hearing this, Li Xiuzhi angrily retorted, "Did she push Guoguo to the ground? Yueyue pinned Guoguo to the ground and banged her head against the stone slab!"

"If I hadn't seen it, Guoguo's forehead would have been bleeding!"

Chen Lang's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked at Guoguo's forehead, and sure enough, there was a bruise.

I didn't notice it when I was wiping my tears just now.

Qian remained nonchalant and said, "It's normal for children to fight and quarrel."

"Besides, your daughter is thick-skinned. What's the big deal if she falls a few times? Don't make a fuss."

In Qian's impression, Chen Erlang loved Yueyue far more than his own daughter.

In the past, no matter what interesting things Chen Erlang brought back, he would first give them to the third room and give them to his son and daughter. As for Guoguo, forget it.

Over time, Qian was completely accustomed to Chen Erlang's favoritism towards her two children. So, Qian thought that even if Chen Erlang knew about Yueyue grabbing the hairband and beating Guoguo, he would not pursue it.

Maybe he would even beat Li Xiuzhi and her son, and make them so stingy that they wouldn't even be willing to give their daughter Yueyue a hairband.

Thinking of this, Qian said proudly: "Second brother, it's not that my sister-in-law is talkative, it's really that your family tradition should be properly rectified."

"Just because of a hairband, you've caused so much unrest in your family. If word gets out, it'll be a shame. If the villagers find out, they'll laugh at you for not knowing how to discipline your wife."

"You are a scholar, your reputation is more important than anything else. If the villagers spread such gossip, how will you ever be able to take the entrance exam in the future?"

Chen Lang took a deep breath, stood up, and laughed: "You are right, the family tradition should be properly rectified."

Upon hearing this, Qian became even more arrogant and kept provoking Li Xiuzhi with her eyes.

Li Xiuzhi just hugged her daughter, and her expression did not change at all.

Li Xiuzhi gambled again, betting that Chen Lang had completely changed!

At the same time, this is also the last gamble.

If Chen Lang did not attack Guoguo because of this incident, it would mean that he had truly turned over a new leaf. But if Chen Lang returned to his old ways, it would mean that everything he did yesterday was just an illusion.

He just wants to sell his daughter.

If that's the case, there's no need for me to continue living with Chen Lang. I could just jump into the river with my daughter and end it all.

If Chen Lang knew what Li Xiuzhi was thinking at the moment, he would definitely be in a dilemma.

How did selling daughters become a fixed part of the routine?

However, Chen Lang didn't have time to guess what Li Xiuzhi was thinking. He walked up to Qian and pulled out Yueyue who was hiding behind Qian. Then he forcefully pried her hands open and took out the hairband.

Yueyue felt pain and cried loudly.

Qian suddenly became anxious and screamed, "Second brother, what are you doing? You hurt Yueyue."

Chen Lang said coldly, "She also feels pain? Then why didn't she feel pain when she grabbed my daughter's head and banged it against the stone slab?

"The kids are just playing around!" Qian shouted.

Chen Lang said: "I was just joking with her."

"Is this a serious matter? You are an adult, and you are playing with a child. Let go." Qian said while pushing Chen Lang hard.

Chen Lang let go, and Yueyue fell down on her butt, crying even harder.

Seeing this, Qian screamed, "Mom, Mom, come out quickly!"

"Chen Erlang beat Yueyue."

Qin, who was hiding in the house, heard this and hurried out, scolding, "Erlang, quickly apologize to Yueyue and give her the hairband!"

Chen Lang sneered: "Why?"

Qin said, "Just because I'm your mother, you have to listen to what I say."

Chen Lang said indifferently: "I treat you as my mother, but have you ever treated me as your son?"

"If you want to treat me as your son, then Guoguo is also your granddaughter. We are both granddaughters, so why treat them differently?"

"Unless, from the bottom of your heart, you don't really consider me your son and Guoguo your granddaughter!"

"Is it this way?"

Qin's face flushed red, and she stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be possible that... you were born by me..."

Chen Lang stared at Qin and said word by word, "Then explain to me why Yueyue stole Guoguo's things and beat her up, and you didn't come out to seek justice?"

"I took Guoguo's things back, and you stood up?"

"Why? Give me a reasonable explanation!"
