I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Granny Liu, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly became enraged when Su Hanzhang grabbed her arm. She turned around and spat a mouthful of sticky phlegm in Su Hanzhang's face.

"You brat! I sent you here to help me and give me support, and instead of helping your old mother, you're dragging me down! I've wasted my time raising such a worthless son!"

Su Hanzhang was so frightened that he let go of Liu Pozi's hand and took several steps back. He never expected that Liu Pozi would spit phlegm at him.

Unexpectedly, Granny Liu, who was already unsteady on her feet, fell to the ground when Su Hanzhang let go of her. Widow Li, who had been at a disadvantage, saw Granny Liu fall and immediately flipped over to straddle her, hitting and cursing her.

"You old hag, you deserve it! Your husband doesn't like you, and you think you can control me? You've really got too much credit for yourself! Let's see who beats whom to death today!"

Old Man Su was completely terrified. He hid in a corner, too scared to move, watching the two fight on the ground in horror, and cried out in a tearful voice:

"Stop hitting him! Please stop hitting him! You're all old folks, aren't you ashamed?"

As Widow Li struck Granny Liu, she shouted at Old Man Su, who was sitting in the corner:

"You old hag, you still have the nerve to yell now? Where were you before? When your wicked wife was hitting me, why didn't you come to stop her? You worthless piece of trash, you're scared out of your wits just because your wife yells at you. Now that Granny Liu is paralyzed, what are you afraid of her for?"

Seeing that Widow Li was being sharp-tongued, Granny Liu also shouted desperately:

"You old geezer, are you just going to watch me get beaten up? Don't you know you should step in and stop it? I've been with you for so many years, I've given you children, I've been your slave for the Su family. I may not have done anything great, but I've certainly put in a lot of hard work. And now you're just going to stand by and watch me get bullied by this wild woman you've been flirting with!"

Seeing the two arguing so fiercely, Old Man Su immediately calmed down and dared not utter another sound. He was afraid that their anger would be transferred to him and they would gang up on him, which would be a loss for them.

Granny Liu shouted for a long time, but Old Man Su didn't say a word. So she shouted at Su Hanzhang again:

"You second son, are you just a good-for-nothing? Didn't you see how badly your mother was beaten? Ahhh, don't hit my face! Quickly, drag this crazy woman away!"

Su Hanzhang reacted first and immediately rushed forward, trying to tear at Widow Li. Widow Li swung her arms and shouted:

"You shameless Su family! After the old ones are done with you, the young ones come and go. You brat, just listen to your mother! She tells you to eat shit, so you eat shit? Everyone in the village knows how she treats you. She just uses you as a punching bag. She's never liked you since you were little, but now that you're grown up and can earn money, she's rushing to acknowledge you as her second son. Let go of me! Don't touch me! What are you doing, a man, touching me like that? After your father has used you, do you want to use him again?"

Startled by Widow Li's shout, Su Hanzhang dared not lay a hand on her again. He could only take a step back and call out to Wang Guihua:

"Guihua, don't just stand there! Go and stop them!"

Wang Guihua was still trying to figure out what was going on when Su Hanzhang suddenly called her name. She was stunned for a moment, then rushed over to pull Li the widow away. However, although Wang Guihua had done a lot of work every day, she had never fought with anyone before.

Widow Li turned around and slapped Wang Guihua across the face, shouting loudly:

"Get out of here, all of you! This is a feud between me and Granny Liu. None of you are allowed to interfere. I'll beat up anyone who tries to get involved!"

Wang Guihua was stunned by the slap and stumbled back several steps, falling to the ground. Seeing this, Su Hanzhang quickly went to help her up.

"You were the one who asked me to break up the fight, and you ended up getting beaten up yourself? Are you alright?"

Wang Guihua shook her head and was about to rush forward to pull Li the widow away when, just then, the village head arrived surrounded by people.

"Stop it, all of you! Someone come and separate them! It's almost New Year's, what kind of behavior is this?!"

The old women who had been watching the spectacle now wanted to show off when they saw the village head arrive. So, at the village head's command, they rushed forward and forcibly separated the two.

Seeing this, Wang Guihua rushed over to help Granny Liu. Su Hanzhang then found Granny Liu's walking stick and handed it to her.

"Mom, you're in this state, how could you still get into a fight? How could you possibly beat them?"

Granny Liu turned around and glared at Su Hanzhang, angrily cursing:

"You two are nothing but trash. Even two strong men like you couldn't tear her apart, since she's half-buried in the ground. I had to be beaten by her for so long down there. Look at my face! I can't even show my face to anyone now. It's almost New Year's, and I'm bruised and battered. Do you think it's better for you as her son and daughter-in-law? You worthless bastards! I knew I shouldn't have let Qingsong call you over. You're useless anyway. If the third and first wives weren't both home today, you wouldn't have had a chance to come and watch the show!"

Su Hanzhang exchanged a helpless glance with Wang Guihua and then spoke:

"Your mother is here right now, so please say as little as possible."

Granny Liu flung Su Hanzhang's hand away and roared:

“The village head is here, and I'm in the right. Those two shameless old geezers have been hooking up and doing shady things behind my back. You don't know, when I came over today, I saw them hugging each other, all lovey-dovey. I must have been blind! How could I have fallen for such a good-for-nothing as your father? He doesn't do any work at home, but he's always busy working for others. I was thinking of having your sister-in-law buy some New Year's goods to serve people who come and go during the New Year, but he sent them all to Widow Li's house. What, is she our ancestor? Do we have to take things from home to pay respects to her during holidays?”

Hearing Liu Pozi's sarcastic remarks, Widow Li immediately jumped up, pointed at Liu Pozi's nose, and cursed:

"You old hag, who are you calling an old geezer? I'll treat you like your ancestor, so what? I've been taking care of your old man for over a year, shouldn't he at least offer me something as a token of respect? I'm doing the work you can't do! You're useless yourself, and now you're blaming me. If you're so capable, why don't you hang your old man on your belt and keep him by your side? Now you're paralyzed, unable to take care of yourself, eating and defecating in the latrine all day long. Your old man hasn't kicked you out yet; he's already being incredibly kind!"
