Li Dazui got more and more excited as he talked, and Lin Bao even smiled.

He raised his eyes and looked at Li Dazui indifferently: "Aunt Dazui, is your daughter really yours?"

"Lin Laosan, what do you mean by that? Of course my daughter is my daughter. If it weren't for me, that little slut would be somewhere dead right now."

"If it weren't for you, she might be a rich man's daughter by now."

Lin Cai came out of the house carrying a winnowing basket. She had heard everything Li Dazui had said inside the house.

She knew that this era was harsh on women, and that it wasn't easy for women in this era, but she never imagined that her own mother could be like this.

In someone else's home, they belittle their own child, just so that their child will be abandoned by the other person and sent home to do chores.

The Hua family clearly has no shortage of labor, yet they insist on having all the work done by the girls in the family.

Isn't Li Dazui a woman too? Why doesn't she do it herself?

Upon hearing Lin Cai's words, Li Dazui immediately retorted loudly, "Impossible! How could that be? How could that wretched girl have such good fortune?"

"If she had such good fortune, I could have had an official father."

"Tsk, Aunt Big Mouth, being born into the right family is a skill. If we're not destined for it, we shouldn't dream about it. Even though you can have anything in your dreams, it doesn't mean you can actually have it, understand?"

"Whether your daughter can have children or not is none of my business. Whether my sister can hold her grandson or when she can hold her grandson is none of your business either."

"What I really want to know is, after causing a ruckus on the edge of the field, you've come all this way here. Are you trying to extort me, or are you trying to extort my sister?"

Lin Cai glanced at Lin Bao after hearing his words, which left her somewhat puzzled.

In this underdeveloped place, how could Lin Bao know those words?

She had no recollection of saying those words.

However, Lin Bao, the person involved, was completely unaware that he had said the wrong thing; he was now staring intently at Li Dazui on the ground.

Li Dazui, who was being questioned, was speechless. She couldn't very well say that she was frightened just now, but then she met someone after going back, and that person taught her a method, so she ran back here!

"No, I didn't. I didn't have that thought. I came to see my daughter, not you, and not Lin Cai. I came to see my daughter."

Li Dazui wanted to cry again, but she didn't dare to cry now!

What if I actually cry and anger this person, and he sews his mouth shut with a needle?

When Gu Dachui heard Li Dazui say that he had come to find his wife, he threw his hoe aside and walked straight over.

“My wife is already married to me and has nothing to do with your family anymore. Everything was agreed upon when she got married. Are you trying to back out now?”

"What do you mean we have no relation at all? Although it's said that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, we've raised her for over ten years. We can't just give her nothing in return, can we?"

Li Dazui got excited too. She was only afraid of Lin Bao; she wasn't afraid of anyone else at all.

"I raised a dog, and when it died, I could still eat dog meat. But I raised such an ungrateful wretch, and now that he's married off, I can't even get a penny of benefit from it?"

Li Dazui still wanted to gain some benefits, but Hua Ni, whose heart was already ice-cold, put down what she was holding and rushed over after hearing this.

"Li Dazui!! I didn't marry into this family, I didn't marry into this family, have you forgotten?"

"You took their money, their pastries, their meat, and just for that money, those pastries, and that meat you sold me out. You sold me out, have you forgotten?"

Hua Ni screamed all these words out, and Li Dazui stared blankly at the emotionally distraught Hua Ni.

When Li Dazui realized what was happening, he jumped up and yelled, "Huani! You think you've got guts now? You dare to yell at me like that?"

"You've only been in the Gu family for a few days, and now that you have someone backing you up, you think you're all different, huh? How dare you yell at me like that."

"You weren't married into this family, you were sold into it, so what? Your parents raised you to adulthood, gave you your life and let you live until now, can't we get something out of you?"

"From the day you were born until now, everything you've eaten, worn, and used has been provided by your mother. Now that I have nothing, can't I get something back from you?"

"You said I sold you? Wouldn't it be better to sell you? Look at the life the Gu family is living now, and look at the life you're living now. You eat and dress better than your brother in every way."

“Pity your brother, pity my Huaguo. None of his clothes at home are good; they're all patched and mended. Look at what you're wearing. Wouldn't it be better to sell them here?”

Huani was furious. How could she have such a family, such a mother?

Why is she able to speak so confidently and matter-of-factly about a bad thing or a wrong thing?

Lin Cai's worldview was also shattered by those words. She sensed Huani's emotional breakdown, then put down what she was holding and went to the kitchen.

When she came out again, she was carrying a wooden basin. Hua Duo saw her and was about to help, but as soon as the little girl approached, Lin Cai dodged away with the basin in her arms.

Lin Cai glanced at Hua Hua, then showed her what was in the wooden basin. Hua Hua took two steps back and looked at Lin Cai with timid eyes.

When the little girl saw the mischievous smile on Lin Cai's face, she immediately covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Li Dazui was still saying that she felt she had done a good thing and that she hadn't done anything wrong. If she hadn't sold Huani to the Gu family, how could Huani be living such a good life now?

"My dear, I'm doing all this for your own good. I've done so much for you, why don't you appreciate it?"

“Look at your eldest and second eldest sisters. They’ve been married for so many years, but every time they come home, they bring a lot of things with them. All of those things are for your younger brother. Why don’t you learn from them?”

Huani didn't say anything when she heard this. After her eldest and second eldest sisters got married, they would indeed bring a lot of things with them every time they came back.

They paid a price for bringing those things back; every time they came and went, their skin was covered in bruises.

She was young before, and she once saw that man pinning her second sister to the ground and beating her.
