Old Lady Xu was unwilling to give in. She raised her eyebrows with a hypocritical sneer in her eyes:

"Humph! You can sever ties with us if you want, but I raised my son with all my heart and soul, married him off and gave him children. Didn't all that cost money? And the money you're making now was stolen from my Qu family. The money you earn belongs to our Qu family."

When Old Lady Xu said this, even the Xu Lizheng and his wife beside them had dark expressions. This Qu family was really shameless. It seemed that the clan leader didn't even have the intention to stop them.

The shrewd Qu Hongsen just now was able to readily agree to Liu's request to leave the clan. It seemed that he really had some leverage in his hands, which made Xu Lizheng suspicious.

Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and gestured to Baiguo. She curled the corners of her lips into a sneer and slapped the big rock at Old Lady Xu's feet.

Old Lady Xu took a step back in fright, and seeing that Baiguo was hitting the side, she patted her chest lightly, glanced at the undamaged stone, and laughed sarcastically.

"Hahaha... You are just a lowly servant, and you can only use your power to scare people? If you don't pay me, I will..."

"Bang!" The big rock shattered instantly, and everyone screamed and stepped back, looking at Baiguo with fear and surprise in their eyes.

This little girl is so powerful!

Old Lady Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed and she didn't dare to continue speaking. She closed her slightly open mouth tightly and subconsciously shrank her neck and swallowed her saliva.

Qu Huaer pulled Old Lady Xu's arm and stepped back.

Mrs. Wu simply shrank into the crowd and secretly observed everything in the yard.

"Does the clan leader think so too? Then should I talk to everyone about it?"

At this moment, Liu faced Qu Hongsen's sinister eyes fearlessly.

He shouted coldly at Old Lady Xu, "Foolish woman, they're about to leave the clan, and you're still trying to make trouble? If it weren't for your elders' immoral behavior, how could you not retain their hearts? If you do it again, your whole family should be kicked out of the Qu family. Alas! I can retain their people, but not their hearts."

As they were talking, Qu Hongsen took the lead and walked towards the Qu family ancestral hall.

Qu Jingyao curled her lips towards Liu and reassured her not to worry, while Qu Qingchen said sternly, "Mother, your son can handle the beating, don't worry."

Liu opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but she said nothing. All her words turned into a sigh, and she walked towards the ancestral hall with her children.

The surrounding villagers quickly followed suit, fearing that they would miss out on the excitement if they were a little slower. Aunt Cui Lian pinched her husband in anger, thinking that what he was doing was so cowardly that the Qu family was so arrogant.

Xu Lizheng frowned and followed forward. He wanted to see how shameless the head of the Qu family could be.

Most of the people in the village were gathered in front of the Qu family ancestral hall, looking at the open space in front.

I saw Liu's mother and son standing in the middle, confronting the Qu family.

Qu Hongsen sat upright in the ancestral hall, leaning on his cane, and said in a muffled voice, "Since Shusheng is gone, who among you brothers and sisters will take on the task?"

Qu Qingchen stood in front of his mother and sister and responded to them with a resolute look!

Liu grabbed his arm, looked at him with red eyes and shook her head.

"elder brother......"

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm a man, and I can handle this punishment."

Baiguo looked at the board as thick as his arm and muttered with gritted teeth, "Are they trying to murder me? How can the eldest young master and his sister withstand it with their physiques and no martial arts background?"

"I'll do it! I may be a slave, but I'm also a member of the family. I'll take this punishment instead."

Bai Guo looked stern as he walked forward and stood straight in front of the Qu family.

Qu Hongsen knew very well that this girl knew some fighting skills and her foundation was definitely much better than that of the brother and sister. Originally, he wanted to teach Liu a lesson this time, so how could he let this girl succeed?

He glanced at Xu, and saw that Xu didn't let him down this time:

"You can't take the place of today's punishment. This is the Qu family's ancestral hall. Even the Liu family is considered outsiders, let alone you, a slave."

"you......"

Bai Guo wanted to say a few more words to her, but Qu Jingyao stopped him.

"Brother, let me do this." Qu Qingchen's face immediately turned cold. He pulled her arm and frowned unhappily, telling her not to mess around.

Liu was more worried about letting her be punished.

Qu Jingyao leaned close to their ears helplessly and whispered: "Mom, haven't you figured it out yet? If Big Brother goes, it won't be just a simple injury. That old guy will definitely cripple Big Brother."

Qu Hongsen and Old Lady Xu in the ancestral hall had already begun to urge the mother and her two children.

Qu Jingyao didn't explain any further to them and ordered Bai Guo to take the two of them aside.

"I come!"

After Qu Jingyao shouted out her words, there was a burst of commotion around, some expressing regret, while others were watching the fun with a sarcastic look.

The group was shocked by Xu Lizheng's roar:

"Look at what you all look like? There are many elders of Miss Yao here, how can you be so shameless? How did she hurt you?"

Xu Lizheng's angry roar echoed throughout the ancestral hall. Many people lowered their heads in shame. However, there was a group of daring scoundrels who shouted fearlessly:

"What are you talking about, head of the village? We didn't do anything wrong. Who are we bothering by just watching the fun?"

"Shut up right there. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak." Aunt Cui Lian put her hands on her hips and yelled at the man without waiting for him to speak.

He just touched his nose, spat, and turned away from the crowd.

A faint smile appeared between Qu Jingyao's eyebrows, and her eyes comforted them, telling them not to worry about her. Bai Guo's eyes were now scarlet, and his clenched fists seemed as if they would fall on the faces of the Qu family members at the next moment.

Qu Hongsen was sitting upright in the hall at this time. Outside, Liu's lips curled slightly, a glint of pride flashed in her eyes, and she nodded slightly at him.

Upon seeing this, Qu Hongsen understood. He closed his eyes, pretended to have a trace of sadness on his face, and waved to the people outside to signal them to start.

"Yao Yao!"

"younger sister!"

"Yao girl!"

As the two strong women arranged by the Qu family came forward to pull Qu Jingyao's arms, anxious shouts were immediately heard from behind.

She shook off the two women's grip, her eyes flashing with coldness as she sneered, "I can do it myself, are you afraid I'll run away?"

After saying that, Qu Jingyao smiled at the relatives behind her, then lay down neatly on the wide bench, looked up and shouted nonchalantly:

"let's start!"

Some women around couldn't bear to watch any longer and lowered their heads. Some curious children were also taken out by their families with their heads covered.

Liu's eyes turned red and tears instantly burst out. She kept yelling and rushed towards her daughter. Qu Qingchen was also pinned down in the crowd by the Qu family and could not move.

His eyes were bloodshot and angry roars came from the crowd.

When Xu Lizheng saw the two sturdy women, his face suddenly turned dark, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and he kept cursing the Qu family for being shameless.
