"Mother," Jiang Zhiyun shook her head helplessly and told the truth, "I'm a little exhausted. I used a lot of strength just now. I don't know how to use this spear; it's very heavy. I also wanted to beat up these people."

"So, I'm not much better off now."

Fortunately, I was able to vent my anger.

The five burly men on the ground were now completely unable to stand up.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyun and Xie Shuheng, he said:

"Grandma, Grandpa, please let us go!"

"We're just simple hooligans, we just want to eat and make a living, and you've treated us like this. How are we supposed to survive in the future?"

"Please don't let us die, we really can't take it anymore..."

Who would dare do that! Today I truly witnessed what it means to be both difficult to die and difficult to live.

Many times when I fought with this man, I felt like I was living a life worse than death, but at the same time, I was being manipulated.

This woman was even worse; she kept hitting them in the abdomen, but her force was inconsistent and she wasn't very skilled. Her handling of the gun was also inconsistent, sometimes nimble and sometimes hesitant.

Every moment the spear remained inside his body was excruciating. He even contemplated suicide.

Now, seeing Jiang Zhiyun makes me feel a bit scared, inside and out.

The main problem was that the marksmanship was too torturous, but because I was injured by that man, I really couldn't move.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at all her precious things scattered on the ground. She appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was filled with disgust and anger.

She really hadn't been this angry in a long time, and her mother-in-law was covered in mud.

Even when it was a life-or-death situation, she was still thinking about how to save her daughter-in-law.

Zhang Shi held her captive for a long time, saying, "Yunniang, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

Jiang Zhiyun shook her head, her eyes filled with emotion: "Thank you, Mother."

"It's good as long as the whole family is together."

Xie Shuheng looked at the burly men, then at Jiang Zhiyun: "What should we do with them?"

Jiang Zhiyun looked at him, as if she wanted to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.

"I'll do whatever you say." Xie Shuheng continued to look at her, his words full of respect.

"Whoever is the source, that's who I'll target. Who sent you here? What are the specifics?"

To save their lives, they recounted their encounter with the woman, and then handed Jiang Zhiyun the five taels of silver they had in their pockets: "Here, take this money. We don't need it, okay?"

"We'll do anything you ask of us, as long as you spare our lives!"

Jiang Zhiyun sneered, listening to the details of these people's conversation, she still felt a chill in her heart, how could there be such people?

Clearly, what had just happened was nothing more than a quarrel between daughters over food, clothing, and daily necessities. Moreover, Jiang Zhiyun was timid by nature and had never dared to argue with her elder sister.

This kind of thing happening now is as unpleasant as swallowing a fly.

“She’s your elder sister, what should we do?” No matter what Jiang Zhiyun chooses, as her husband, Xie Shuheng will always stand by her side.

Just like before in Shikanchang, she made the same firm choice.

"Give it back double."

Jiang Zhiyun accepted the five taels without hesitation.

He said to the burly men, "You guys, buy stone hammers and big axes, one for each of you. Go to Shikanchang and buy extra-large ones."

"Then, we'll meet here and come with me to Yongquan Village."

When Jiang Zhiyun said this, no one around dared to say anything. They even exchanged bewildered glances. Was this young lady about to...do something irrational?

But to save your life, and to live longer, not asking is the best answer.

Zhang said, "They looked half-dead just now, but now that we've asked them to find tools, they're running very fast."

"Yunniang, are you... going to cause trouble at your elder sister's house?"

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "Compromising will only embolden others to take advantage of you even more."

“If she hits us once, I’ll make sure she can never hold her head up again.”

Then, looking at Xie Shuheng's horse, he asked, "Where did you get this horse?"

"The people at the horse farm were grazing the horses over in Yongquan Village. I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time, so I stole a horse and came here. Now I'm afraid I have to return it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dahai rushed over anxiously: "Young master! Young master, please be magnanimous and give our horse back. Otherwise, we'll have to pay compensation!"

Jiang Zhiyun hadn't expected it to be an acquaintance and said, "How much is this horse? My husband acted rashly. I'm sorry, Brother Zhao."

"I'll buy the horse, and then I'll trouble Brother Dahai to help me find a carriage. A spacious one would be best, it can be old. We'll use it to haul our things back."

Zhao Dahai was somewhat surprised, as the horse farm had already thought I wouldn't be able to get my horse back. He came prepared to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Now that Jiang Zhiyun said such things, he immediately became interested: "In that case, Madam Jiang has done me a great favor. Just give me ten taels for the carriage and the horses."

"The carriage is spacious; it belonged to a wealthy family and was abandoned at our horse farm. With some repairs, it should be fine. As for the horse, it's not expensive. Our manager said we'd be happy to get five taels of silver back."

After all, Xie Shuheng was too formidable; when he snatched the horse, he scared the manager so badly he wet himself.

At this moment, Zhao Dahai said, "If I go, Madam Jiang only needs to give me ten taels of silver, and everything will be taken care of."

“I know you’re having a tough time tonight. I’ll get you a nice carriage later.” Zhao Dahai took the money and ran back to the horse farm excitedly.

Jiang Zhiyun still had a few taels of silver left in her pocket. She said to her mother-in-law and Xie Shuheng, "I thought that buying a carriage would bankrupt us, but now it seems like a blessing in disguise."

Zhang felt sorry for you: "But your face is still swollen and there's blood on it. Saving a few taels of silver is not as important as you and Shuheng being safe and sound."

"Yunniang, you're in such a state. Why don't we go see a doctor first, and then go back to deal with Jiang Zhiwan?"

Yunniang shook her head: "Jiang Zhiwan is probably waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Going back now would be the best way to catch her off guard."

"She's not stupid; she'll realize something's wrong sooner or later."

“That’s right,” Xie Shuheng said. “Originally, I was at home and didn’t plan to come. But Jiang Zhiwan brought your entire Jiang family, including the clan head. In addition, the young master of the Xu family and the elders were also there.”

"At that moment, I knew something was wrong. I made an excuse to leave, and without caring about what was happening at home, I rushed over as fast as I could."

I immediately thought something must have happened. Luckily, luckily we made it in time.

Speaking of which, Xie Shuheng's heart was in his throat the moment he saw Jiang Zhiyun appear.

This was the first time he had ever cared so much about someone else. Only now did he belatedly realize how worried he was about Jiang Zhiyun.

It's awful to feel this out-of-control state of mind. Yet, I'm also somewhat willing to indulge in it.

Yunniang didn't pay attention to what Xie Shuheng was thinking with his gloomy face. Because he usually had a cold expression, and it didn't seem to change much no matter when she looked at him; he always seemed to be in a bad mood.
