Just then, two voices came from outside, "Stop! Stop!"

Du Mingxian turned around and saw two elderly people with white hair. They must be Qian Chengbao's grandparents. The one speaking was the old lady.

When Grandma Qian returned home and saw her daughter-in-law with a young girl, who was holding her family's oil can, she immediately became furious. "Why did you take our oil can? You..."

An elderly person with a full head of white hair is usually worthy of respect and deference, but... it's really not worthy of respect when a bad person gets old.

Ling Xiaomei was bullied after marrying into the Qian family. These two old people lived in the house every day but didn't do anything about it, which shows they weren't good people.

"Then ask your daughter-in-law." After saying that, Du Mingxian threw the jar in her hand directly at the wall, the ceramic shattered, and oil splattered on the bricks.

"Ah, you bitch!" Farmers value these things highly, and now that someone has smashed the jars in front of them, how can they not be angry?

Du Mingxian spread her hands and said, "Now you have two choices: either pay me ten taels of silver or let me burn this house down."

Old Mrs. Qian was furious, and Old Mr. Qian directly ordered, "What are you all standing there for? Does she think she can turn the world upside down? You guys get your weapons and beat her up."

Qian's father instinctively obeyed the order and immediately went to pick out things. Qian Chengbao also immediately went to get things, as did his two younger sisters. As for Qian's two younger brothers, they were still too young to help.

The whole family gathered around, but Du Mingxian had a faint smile on her face and didn't take it to heart.

Ling Xiaomei became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to block Du Mingxian. "Master, please don't do this. My fourth sister-in-law is just too angry. My fourth brother must have been sick when he came to our house that day and his condition must have been bad for him to come over. You can't lay a hand on him."

"Get out of my way." Qian Chengbao was timid in front of Du Mingxian, but he was not timid at all in front of Ling Xiaomei. He stepped forward and tried to shake Ling Xiaomei off.

Ling Xiaomei was so thin at the Qian family's house that she was about to be thrown away when Qian Chengbao grabbed her like that. Du Mingxian hurriedly grabbed her arm to prevent her from being thrown away, and then pulled her behind her with force.

Her sharp gaze swept over Qian Chengbao. "My fourth sister-in-law from my maternal family is still here, and you treat her like this. It shows how much she has been bullied in your family."

After saying that, she took a step forward, mustered all her strength, and kicked Qian Chengbao away.

Qian Chengbao's body flew out and finally landed at the base of the wall.

Du Mingxian was slightly dissatisfied. Although she had been drinking spiritual spring water and her body was much better and her strength had increased a lot, she still needed to practice more. If she had kicked the person directly against the wall and smashed a human-shaped hole in the wall, that would have been perfect.

Continued efforts are needed.

Grandma Qian and Grandpa Qian were heartbroken, as were their mother and father. They all ran towards Qian Chengbao, calling out, "Dabao, Dabao."

Du Mingxian looked disgusted and muttered under her breath, "How old is he? He's still called Da Bao."

Ling Xiaomei behind her shifted her feet, wanting to go forward and check on Qian Chengbao's condition, but Du Mingxian grabbed her, "He treated you like that, and you still go after him?"

"Fourth Sister-in-law, he is my husband."

"You're not allowed to go. Think about what the Qian family did to you. Little sister, remember, you only get one chance."

Ling Xiaomei hesitated, frozen in place. Although her fourth sister-in-law had pulled her ear with great force, she knew that her fourth sister-in-law had not used much force and had been very gentle.

Fourth Sister-in-law came to the Qian family to cause trouble because of her.

After Qian Chengbao coughed up blood, he fainted. The Qian family was furious. Qian's mother was the most distressed, while Qian's father was the calmest. He even threatened, "If you come to our house and make a scene, I will go to the yamen to sue you."

“Alright, go ahead and let everyone see how the seemingly honest and kind Qian family mistreats their daughter-in-law behind the scenes.” Du Mingxian glanced at the other young members of the Qian family. “Make a big scene, the bigger the better, so that everyone knows and other girls won’t be deceived into marrying into your Qian family in the future.”

This really hit the Qian family where it hurts. They've always had a single son, and what they want most is for their family to have many children. They've finally reached the grandchildren's generation and have more children, and they're counting on their grandchildren to get married and start having more children.

If that's true...

If what this woman says is true, what woman would be willing to marry into this family?

Old Mr. and Mrs. Qian were filled with hatred, but they didn't say anything more. Mr. Qian was also very angry, and Mrs. Qian said, "You beat my son like this, I want you to pay for his medical expenses."

“Okay, is one hundred taels enough?” Du Mingxian said, taking steps closer. “I don’t know if you’ve inquired in Lingjia Village, but there’s a rogue family there who saw that we have money and came to our door trying to extort some.”

"He asked for ten taels, and I gave it to him on the spot. I even thoughtfully called a doctor for him. Do you know about this? If not, I'll tell you about it now."

Seeing her enthusiastic expression, the group felt a chill run down their spines and dared not utter another word.

They knew about the matter in Lingjia Village. Although it was far away, gossip would still spread. Moreover, they had married a girl from Lingjia Village, so there would always be people willing to say a few words about the gossip in Lingjia Village.

"Look at how scared you all are, so you know now?" Du Mingxian chuckled. "So, are you going to compensate me with money, or am I going to compensate you with money? Have you thought it through? Or just burn the house down, I like doing that kind of thing."

"Pay up, pay up the money!" Old Man Ling said through gritted teeth.

The others were unwilling, but in the end they didn't say anything. Ling's mother could only take out the silver and give it to Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian was overjoyed to receive the ten taels of silver. She knew she had to buy some good things for her younger sister to nourish her properly when she got back.

"Alright, now that you have the money, I won't make things difficult for you. But Ling Jue still needs to come back with me to atone for his sins." After Du Mingxian finished speaking, she grabbed Ling Xiaomei's hand and dragged her out, cursing as she went, "You useless thing, you can only watch others bully your fourth brother."

Ling Xiaomei wanted to speak, but Du Mingxian didn't give her a chance at all. When she reached the door, she turned around and glanced at the younger members of the Qian family, and then at the older members of the Qian family.

Wow, I always felt something was off when I came in, and now that I'm looking closely, it seems like there's something fishy going on.

“I say… Old Mrs. Qian, haven’t you noticed anything different about the house? It’s strange, but your son and your old man are clearly related at first glance.”

“But how come your grandson doesn’t look like your son, and he doesn’t look much like your daughter-in-law either? Is he even a descendant of the Qian family? He doesn’t look like him at all.”

As she spoke, Du Mingxian turned around and grabbed the two barren hens that Ling's mother had mentioned before leaving, completely disregarding the uproar her words would cause in the Qian family. She pulled Ling Xiaomei into the carriage and sped away, not giving anyone a chance to watch the show.
