A master of metaphysics is farming.

The onlookers remained silent, and Xiang Wenxuan simply recounted what he had seen. The village chief's face was even darker than Xiang Laosi's.

He tapped the ground with his cane, "When will your family ever stop this, so early in the morning?!"

Xiang He hurriedly turned to look at Li Shi on the ground and echoed, "That's right, Grandma, are you ever going to stop? Coming to our house to make a scene so early in the morning, you really don't give people any peace and quiet."

This is a bit too much. The village chief glared at her, then shrugged and stuck out his tongue at He, pursing his lips to indicate that he wouldn't interrupt him again.

Seeing her funny expression, Xiang Wenxuan turned his face away to suppress his laughter. When did this girl become so bold? She even dared to talk too much and dared to lay a hand on her grandmother. It was truly unbelievable.

At this moment, Fourth Aunt walked to Xiang Yun's side, as if to protect them. "Village Chief, it was indeed that old man... Fourth Aunt Li who started it. She punched him right in the head, and just now she even tried to hit Aci on the head with a bucket! You be the judge!"

When Li threw the first load of swill at her, she rushed home to grab something, but her house was quite far away at the edge of the village. On her way back and forth, she saw that Su's eyes were swollen from being beaten. Her anger flared up, and without caring about anything else, she picked up a carrying pole and fought back.

But since she was still an outsider, she didn't dare to use too much force, lest she really hurt someone. Given Li's shrewish and ruthless nature, she would definitely make her pay compensation. Fortunately, He'er arrived in time.

It's not a big deal for her to protect him now. Xiang Yun, who was hiding behind her, sniffed and peeked out. She also rolled up her sleeves to reveal her forearm, which had been pinched and turned purple.

"Grandpa Village Chief...this was caused by Grandma and Auntie fighting..."

Xiang Yun was already malnourished and thin, and this made her look even more pitiful, not to mention the bruises covering her hands, which made people feel sorry for her.

Seeing these marks, Madam Su was overcome with grief. She hugged Xiang Yun tightly, tears streaming down her face, "It's all my fault, I couldn't protect Yun'er..."

Xiang Yun hugged Su Shi's neck and rubbed her head against it. "I'm fine. Mother was also hit hard, but she couldn't dodge..."

The mother and daughter embraced and wept, while Lao Si's dark face was almost completely gloomy.

Seeing that they were losing ground, Li began to wail again, "It was clearly the third son's family who beat me, but now they blame me for everything just because I cried a little. All the injuries I suffered were for nothing! This is outrageous! What a misfortune for my family!"

They kept repeating the same few sentences, and Xiang He looked at him with disdain. "Oh, you think hitting my mother doesn't count, but my mother has to apologize for defending herself? You're dreaming."

"It's not just about apologizing! You also have to pay me back in silver! These injuries of mine will cost at least ten taels of silver to fully heal!"

Well, in the end, it all comes down to wanting money.

Xiang He pointed to the wound at the corner of Su's eye, then raised her left hand. "Let's settle this. The wounds on my mother and Yun'er's bodies have already been compensated for yours. So how about the wound on my hand? It's bleeding, so I guess I should pay at least ten taels of silver. Give me the money."

Her left hand was covered in blood, but the bleeding had stopped. She had secretly cast a hemostatic spell just now, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Li was seething with hatred when a soft voice suddenly came from the side, "I think it's reasonable..."

"Shh!"

Everyone turned to look, and Xiang He followed suit. The speaker was the newlywed, whose mother-in-law was pulling her behind her back, forcing a smile, "No, it wasn't my family who said that, don't take it to heart..."

As he spoke, he pulled the bride's hand behind his back and pinched it, warning her not to speak anymore.

The bride dared not speak again, glancing at Xiang He's gaze, trying to look away, but seeing Xiang He smile gently at her, she couldn't help but smile back.

This is the second person with a conscience that Xiang He has met in this village.

"okay!"

Xiang He pouted and turned to look at Zhao Laosi. His face, as black as the bottom of a pot, darkened. "We're all family, why bother with these things! It's only morning, don't we have to work yet!"

This attempt to smooth things over is really terrible!

Suddenly, she felt her forearm being grabbed. Xiang He's left hand was lifted up, and Su Shi was carefully wrapping her wound with her gray handkerchief.

In the end, she softened her heart; at least the Su family had shown some backbone, and it would be impossible for them to bully their family in the future.

Xiang He raised her hand a little higher, so that everyone could see the white cloth stained with blood on her wrist.

“I won’t hold it against you, but we’ve already separated, so don’t come to my house to cause trouble anymore, and don’t try to harm my family. Most importantly, you have to compensate me for my injuries today, otherwise I’ll feel like I’ve been cheated and I’ll be so angry that I’ll cause trouble for your family.”

Xiang Lao Si was furious, but his fourth aunt was amused by her. This was simply a case of one rogue dealing with another; no one could please her. She truly lived up to her reputation as He Ya Tou.

But when Li heard that she had to compensate her, she was extremely unwilling. After groaning for a while, she suddenly stood up, pointed at Xiang He, and cursed, "No way! Don't even think about taking anything from my house!"

"that is!"

“If you don’t give me anything, you should pay me back with money,” Xiang He turned to the village chief again, “Grandpa Village Chief, what do you think?”

What a complete waste of time!

The village chief, as if competing with Xiang Lao Si to see who had the darkest face, frowned deeply, "What do you want?"

Xiang He really tilted his head and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Our family is still missing an axe and a machete. The thatched hut at home is about to collapse. I need to have the tools to repair it."

Xiang Lao Si was slightly taken aback, "Really only these two?"

Seeing his expression, Xiang He looked at Li Shi with disdain and said, "Do you think I'm as shameless as her? Give it to me or not, I really need it."

Li didn't expect that she would ask for knives and axes instead of money, but those were bought with real money, so she put her hands on her hips and started arguing again.

Xiang Lao Si grabbed her and pulled her behind him. "Lotus! Go get the axe and the machete!"

Lotus, standing behind the door, trembled slightly and gritted her teeth as she replied, "I...I'll get it right away..."

After all that commotion, they still managed to take something from me!

She slowly went to the corner to pick it up, reluctantly walked out, and as soon as she passed the gate, she immediately put on a delicate and timid appearance, placed it on the ground tremblingly, and ran back home as if she were very scared.

"..." Xiang He's lips twitched, her eyes rolled back, and she walked over to pick up the two tools. "Thank you for your generosity, Grandpa. We'll head back now. Father still needs someone to take care of him at home."

"you!"

Li gritted her teeth and gasped for breath, but was stopped by a look from the fourth brother, "Go home!"

Ultimately, she's the head of the household, so she can't go against the grain.

Xiang He picked up the wooden bucket that had fallen to the ground, put the two tools inside, borrowed Aunt Si's carrying pole, easily picked it up, and walked in front, humming a little tune.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at his fourth aunt and said, "Fourth Aunt, why don't you come over for a meal later?"

Fourth Aunt's eyes immediately lit up, and she beamed with joy. "That's wonderful! I'll prepare some food and take it over to have a good talk with Aci!"

"okay!"

Their oblivious conversation made Li's old face turn red, and she burst into a tirade, "It was you, you wretched girl, who stole my meat!"

Xiang He walked straight ahead without looking back. "You can't say that. You lost the meat yourself, so it's not right to blame it on me. Which eye of yours saw it? Your asshole?"

—"Hahahahahaha!"

The moment those crude words were uttered, everyone burst into laughter. Xiang Wenxuan, who always prided himself on being refined, turned red in the face and gritted his teeth to hold it in.

The village chief glared at him irritably, "Go home."

"Yes……"

Li was embarrassed and wanted to chase after him to yell at him, but Zhao Laosi grabbed her by the back of the collar, saying, "Go home! Aren't you embarrassed enough already!"

She returned home fuming, and as soon as she entered, she saw that Yu was hiding in her room and wouldn't come out. She started cursing, much to the delight of those outside, who sat down under a large tree not far away to listen.
