Su Banxia hit her for a while, but she was really tired. Seeing that the old woman didn't resist or say she wanted to leave, she was at a loss for what to do with her. So Su Banxia called to Erzhuzi and said:

"Clean up the table first, then carry her out after we finish eating."

Erzhuzi had never seen Su Banxia so fierce before. He was still a little dazed when Su Banxia called him, so he nodded and went back to help clean up the food on the ground.

As Wang Guihua wiped the table, she looked at Su Banxia with concern.

“Daughter, look at the mess this has made! What if she really stays in our yard and refuses to leave? We have so much work to do every day, how can we possibly have the energy to argue with her!”

Su Banxia smiled.

"It's alright, I have plenty of ways to deal with her later. Give me the rag. The hot food is probably inedible. Go to the back and stir-fry some pickled vegetables. We can eat some of the leftover rice to tide us over."

Wang Guihua glanced again at the fat woman lying on the ground not far away, then nodded helplessly, put down the rag, and went to the backyard.

Just as everyone was packing up their things, they heard Lin rush in crying and screaming.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why did you come here to cause trouble? It's not like they chopped off Wencheng's hand. If we're going to complain, we should complain to that scoundrel Su Feng. You've come to the woman's house and made a scene. No matter where you go, you can't justify this."

"Don't worry about me. You're no better than me. If you hadn't insisted on arranging this marriage for my son, would he have suffered such a misfortune? I'm so unlucky to have a sister-in-law like you!"

While Lin's mother was making a fuss, she heard a male voice behind her.

"What are you doing? Isn't it embarrassing enough that I brought you out here? Now that our son is in this state, blaming anyone won't help. Come back with me now, and stop throwing a tantrum!"

When Lin turned around and saw that it was her eldest brother, she rushed over as if she had seen a savior, grabbed his arm, and comforted him:

"Brother, you should take your wife back home quickly. If she keeps making a scene like this, she won't get anything out of it, and the problem won't be solved. Wencheng is still lying on the kang at my house. Let your wife go back and keep him company."

Mr. Lin nodded.

"I know, I'll take her back right away. Does she think she can defy the heavens?"

Not one to tolerate such behavior, Mr. Lin immediately grabbed Mrs. Lin's arm and tried to pull her up. Seeing this, Mrs. Lin quickly went over to help pull her up as well.

"Sister-in-law, just listen to your brother's advice and go back with him right away. Wencheng is still clamoring to see you!"

"Pah! I've had the worst luck in my life to marry into your Lin family. I'm the only woman who has to stand up for everything. Your older brother is like a piece of mud, always taking the side of others in public. I don't know who his real family is. He always sides with outsiders. I must have been blind to marry such a man."

Lin's mother was about to shout something more when Lin's father slapped her across the face and angrily cursed:

"You think our family isn't shameful enough? You still have to make a scene here! Your son is so forgetful. Why did he have to go and provoke that girl? He deserves to have his hand broken. It'll teach him a lesson. I told you long ago, spoiling a child is like killing a child, but you wouldn't listen! Now look what's happened. You didn't want to discipline him, but someone else did it for you, and now you're here crying and whining endlessly!"

As if still not satisfied, Lin's father slapped Lin's mother across the face again.

By this time, Lin's mother was completely stunned. Although Lin's father often scolded her, he had never laid a hand on her before. These consecutive slaps chilled Lin's mother's heart.

"Are you coming or not? If you don't leave, I'll just beat you to death right here in this yard!"

As he spoke, Mr. Lin was about to hit Mrs. Lin again, but Mrs. Lin, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped him.

"Brother, brother, you can't do that! Don't hurt my sister-in-law again. She's just angry. She'll be fine once she's vented her anger. Please don't actually hit her!"

"So what if I hit her? I can't kill her! I'll teach her to be so unreasonable and disobedient all the time! She's just embarrassing me!"

As he spoke, Lin's father continued to grope Lin's mother's face, but Su Banxia, ​​who was standing to the side, had long since lost her patience.

"If you want to fight, why don't you go outside and fight? Stop making such a racket in our yard, it's so annoying!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's father grabbed Lin's mother by the collar and dragged her out of the yard. By this time, Lin's mother was numb and let her father pull her outside.

After the three people left, Wang Guihua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was truly terrifying! The Lin family is no pushover. Luckily, I didn't agree to Lin Wencheng's marriage to Banxia. And what's wrong with Lin Wencheng's mother? If she wanted revenge, why didn't she go after Su Feng, who injured her son? Why did she come to our yard and cause such a ruckus?"

Su Banxia watched the three figures disappear into the distance, then shook her head helplessly.

"Aren't they just picking on the weak? Su Feng is a street thug that no ordinary family dares to mess with. If Su Feng really holds a grudge, then their lives will be in trouble."

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, and thinking of Su Mo, who was already engaged to Su Feng, Wang Guihua felt increasingly uneasy.

"I'm still worried about Su Mo. I'll go to the Su family's courtyard first thing tomorrow morning to see what she really wants. Does she really want to marry that street hustler Su Feng?"

Seeing that Wang Guihua was still concerned about Su Mo's marriage, Su Banxia shook her head helplessly and went straight upstairs.

the next morning,

Wang Guihua got up early and prepared all the materials Su Banxia would need for setting up her stall. She then went to the old Su family's courtyard alone.

When Wang Guihua arrived, she didn't see Li Ayu and her child, nor did she see Lin's elder brother and sister-in-law.

Seeing Qin feeding the chickens in the yard, I inquired:

"Why hasn't Li Ayu come out to work?"

Qin snorted coldly.

"She ran off with some random guy a long time ago. I told you she was a womanizer, but your older brother didn't believe me then. Now he's learned his lesson and believes me."

Hearing this, Wang Guihua couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise, but then she thought about it. Old Liu had treated her so harshly; now that the woman had run away, it was as if she had found a way to survive for herself.

So Wang Guihua asked again:

"Hey, sister-in-law, where are Lin's brother and sister-in-law today?"

Qin pouted unhappily.

“They came and threw a tantrum yesterday, and left early this morning with their unfortunate son.”

Wang Guihua was surprised that the two of them didn't actually go to Su Feng to demand an explanation, but went straight home. It seemed that what Banxia said was true; they thought she was a pushover and wanted to control her. They even wanted her yard, which was simply a pipe dream.

Thinking this, Wang Guihua didn't ask Qin Shi any more questions. She turned and went to Su Mo's room to knock on the door.

"Su Mo, are you inside? Open the door for me, I have something to tell you."
