"You brat, I'll teach you a lesson!" Zhou Xiongfeng, his anger rising, reached out to snatch the kitchen knife from Yun Luo's hand.

Little girl, does she really dare to kill someone?

But when he reached out, he saw that Yun Luo had no intention of stopping and was slashing at him with the cleaver, and his expression changed.

Even though he was quick, he still got a cut on his arm.

"The child's father!"

“This is outrageous! This is terrible…” Niu Erfeng beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying bitterly.

Yun Luo didn't care about their lives or deaths, and went around them, saying, "Mother, little brother, let's go!"

"Okay." Zhou Rong's voice was hoarse as the three of them left the Zhou family home.

On the way home, Zhou Rong kept looking back. "Xiao Luo, why don't you take your brother home first, and I'll go check on him..."

"Don't go. After what they did to you, what friendship is left? Chen Mazi won't die. Xiao Jie and I only broke one of his legs!"

Zhou Rong covered her mouth, and it took her a while to react.

A leg was broken?

Xiao Luo and Xiao Jie are too daring.

On second thought, it's because she, as the mother, is incompetent, yet they still have to protect her. "We can't keep being bullied. When the Chen family comes, we still have Mother!"

Yunlu's eyes crinkled into a smile, and Baozi's mother finally stood up for herself, "Mom, we're here for you. From now on, it's our turn to protect you."

"Yes, as long as my sister is here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Zhou Rong was gratified that the children had grown up, and Xiao Luo was now able to be the pillar of the family.

For several days, Zhou Rong worried that the Chen family might come to retaliate, but after waiting for three days, no one came.

On the contrary, one day when the mother and daughter went to wash clothes by the stream, they heard the women in the village gossiping.

"Have you heard? The third son of the Chen family in town had his leg broken and was thrown into the river. By the time he was found, his leg was already rotten. They took him to several doctors, but nothing worked."

"That's right. I've heard about it too. The Chen family isn't exactly a good family. They make a living by digging up ancestral graves. I guess God couldn't stand it anymore and came to punish them."

The Chen family, taking advantage of their unique location, ran a gambling den in the town, which was actually a loan sharking operation. They swindled many families, causing wives and children to break up and husbands and wives to turn against each other.

When the Chen family is mentioned, not a single person speaks ill of them.

Once this happened, it became the talk of the town, in every nook and cranny of the village.

Some people said something even more outlandish: that the third son of the Chen family wasn't beaten by someone, but was wandering at night and was entangled by mountain spirits and monsters. Otherwise, how could he have ended up like this?

The story became increasingly fantastical, but the Zhou family remained completely uninvolved.

Yunluo was puzzled. How did she manage to deal with her heartless uncle and grandmother?

Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to go to her grandfather's house and ask him herself; she never wanted to go to that place again.

"Xiao Luo, I think your cousin's in-laws probably helped settle this matter," Zhou Rong said, leaning closer.

My cousin, isn't that Zhou Xiongfeng's eldest daughter, Zhou Xue? She married into the neighboring town, and I heard she's doing alright.

“Chen Mazi got into trouble at the Zhou family's place, so they probably won't dare to expose us. If they do, the fact that my uncle owes gambling debts and that he conspired to swindle you won't be able to be kept secret!”

"Auntie, Xiao Luo!" A light and soft voice came, and Yun Luo saw the woman in the lake blue dress getting off the oxcart. "You're here! I've been looking for you."

"Xue'er, what brings you here?" Zhou Rong was surprised to see her, especially with Zhou Xue's husband, Ning Changfeng, following behind her.

The streamside was not a place to talk, so the group immediately took their clothes and went back inside. After closing the door, Zhou Xue knelt down before Zhou Rong and said, "Aunt, I only just found out what happened at home. My parents were really confused. How could they do such a thing? Luckily, nothing happened to you, otherwise I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

"Get up! You mustn't kneel..."

“Aunt.” Zhou Xue didn’t move. “When I was little, you took care of me. In my heart, you are no different from my own mother. Today I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my parents. I must kowtow these three times.”

Yunlu sighed inwardly.

They're born to the same parents, yet the difference between the older and younger cousins ​​is just too great.

After Zhou Rong kowtowed three times, she quickly helped Zhou Xue up, looking very distressed. "It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it anymore. You and Changfeng have come all this way, so let's eat here later."

"Hey, honey, go and bring the things in."

When Ning Changfeng came in, good heavens, he was carrying two sacks of stuff. Yun Luo suddenly understood why her brother-in-law was able to deal with the Chen family.

Look at that strength, that build. Just standing there, the other person would be scared to death.

She smiled and said, "Big cousin, brother-in-law."

Ning Changfeng glanced at her and laughed, "I heard you and Xiao Jie crippled Chen Mazi with just a stool? Your cousin wouldn't have the guts."

Zhou Xue playfully pinched him, "Of course my sister is better than me. We came back in a hurry and didn't bring much. These two bags are for Auntie and for Xiao Luo. There are some vegetables, rice, and noodles in them. Oh, and there are some children's clothes in Xiao Luo's bag. They are all my two kids' clothes, but they are all old, so please don't mind them."

"You've gone to all this trouble to come all this way," Zhou Rong said, hurriedly calling Yun Shaojie from the backyard to come out and help greet the guests.

The kinder her cousin was, the more moved Yunlu felt. After thanking her, the two cousins, who rarely saw each other, talked from the bottom of their hearts in the courtyard.

"Xiao Luo, your wedding was so rushed that we couldn't come. This is a token of our appreciation from your cousin and me."

Yunluo glanced at the item wrapped in red paper and knew it contained a gift of money. Without hesitation, she accepted it, thinking that they could reciprocate in the future. "Thank you, cousin."

"No need to thank me, we're all family. But Xiao Luo, you've changed. Your personality has become better, and your face has become more beautiful after you got married. When I was first pregnant, my face was just like yours. Xiao Luo, are you pregnant?"

Yunlu blushed. She and Brother Qin had never even kissed. How could they possibly kiss?

"What? Not yet? Otherwise, I can make you a prescription. Someone in our village drank it and soon got pregnant and gave birth to a big, healthy boy."

Yunlu looked at her overly solicitous cousin and felt a little embarrassed. "I don't need this."

"What does that mean? Doesn't your brother-in-law want it?"

"Not at all."

How can I tell my cousin about his relationship with Brother Qin?

Yunlu was somewhat depressed.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xue guessed she was a little embarrassed. She knew about these things between husband and wife. She got up, went over and said something to Ning Changfeng, and then sat down happily. "When is my brother-in-law coming back?"

"mother……"

Just as Yun Luo was about to say something, Qin Zheng came in with two children, carrying a wild pheasant. She introduced them, and Qin Zheng gave the pheasant away as a gift.

Yunlu blinked. How did Brother Qin know that his cousin and brother-in-law were here? And they even brought gifts?
