Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

That shout was quite loud, instantly shattering the original noisy commotion in the courtyard.

The neighbors, who were all busy with their own things, immediately stopped what they were doing and poked their heads out to see what was going on when they heard the commotion.

A few nosy folks even opened the door, stood there craning their necks, eyes wide open, just waiting to see how this good show would unfold.

Upon hearing this, Chen Meiju's head buzzed, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and she was instantly stunned.

She panicked so much that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, and her face flushed bright red.

It's as red as a ripe tomato, so red it looks like it could bleed.

Chen Meiju was both anxious and scared, and hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. This is my nephew Chen Dong from my maternal family."

"He's here to help us with something, so please don't get any ideas."

"We're all family, we can't wrong an innocent person for no reason."

"If you don't believe me, I'll tell you properly. Look at Dongzi, how is he like what you say?"

Chen Dong was originally preoccupied with the chicken farm.

Being suddenly struck by this inexplicable slander, my anger flared up instantly.

His chest felt hot, and his anger was practically bursting from his eyes.

However, Chen Dong couldn't lash out for the time being, so he held back.

Chen Dong stared at Li Dongdong with a cold face, his eyes seeming to shoot out shards of ice, making people shiver.

It was as if it were a silent warning to her: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Li Dongdong wasn't afraid of just a young man.

His eyes darted around, and he was filled with doubt.

But Li Dongdong was not about to let go of this good opportunity to stir up trouble.

His eyes darted around, and he thought of Chen Meiju's submissive manner, feeling that she was easy to bully.

Li Dongdong then turned her attention to Chen Meiju's laundry, and began to speak sarcastically again: "Hmph, your nephew from your mother's side? I bet you just found him to back you up."

"Look at you, all you do all day is wash clothes, you can't even do the housework properly, and you're out flirting with other women."

"Did our Xu family owe you something in our past life? Look at that pile of clothes, they're washed so sloppily."

"The stains are still there. I don't know if you have bad eyesight or if you're just being lazy."

"And another thing, every time you finish washing clothes, you leave the yard a complete mess, and you never bother to tidy it up."

"Someone like you has the nerve to stay in the Xu family. You're just bringing shame to our family."

As Li Dongdong spoke, she pointed to the clothes drying in the yard.

Some of the clothes were still dripping water, leaving small puddles on the ground.

It did look rather messy; a gentle breeze caused the clothes to sway haphazardly, as if reflecting her sharp accusations.

Chen Dong couldn't hold back any longer. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he took a big step forward.

The steps were heavy and forceful, making a thud that seemed to shake the ground.

Chen Dong's eyes widened in anger, staring intently at Li Dongdong.

He snapped, "Watch your mouth! I only let it go because I respect you as an elder, that's why I didn't hold your ridiculous words against you."

"You're really something else, aren't you? You're never going to stop."

“My second aunt works diligently and conscientiously every day, busy from morning till night. How can your Xu family treat her like this? Don’t you have any conscience?”

"Are you all blind to how much she has sacrificed for this family?"

“Every day before dawn, my second aunt gets up to make breakfast for you, and after finishing breakfast, she has to do the laundry.”

"She was bending over, scrubbing and washing those huge basins of clothes, until she was so tired she couldn't straighten her back."

Chen Dong pointed at Li Dongdong and continued angrily, "After washing the clothes, she also has to clean the yard. She does all the chores, inside and out."

"What do you all do? Just sit there enjoying your leisure, either sunbathing and chatting or going out for a stroll. Has anyone ever helped your aunt out?"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for bullying people like this?"

Chen Dong became increasingly angry as he spoke, and the veins on his neck bulged out like small, winding snakes.

His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, all from the heat of his anger.

Li Dongdong was stunned, clearly startled by Chen Dong's sudden outburst of anger.

His face turned pale and then red, and his expression was quite a sight to behold.

It took Li Dongdong a long time to come to his senses, and then he suddenly cursed, "You brat, what business is it of yours?"

"You dare to act wildly here and lecture me? Who do you think you are?"

"This is a matter for the Xu family. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"

"Get out of here and stop getting in my way. Don't you know where you are? Do you think you can just yell like that?"

Li Dongdong's voice was high-pitched and shrill, echoing in the courtyard and sounding particularly jarring.

Chen Dong was so angry that his chest heaved violently, like a bellows, expanding and contracting.

Speaking from his aunt Chen Meiju's perspective, he retorted and cursed back: "Who do I think I am? I'm my aunt's nephew, so tell me, do I have any relation to her?"

“My second aunt has suffered so much injustice in the Xu family. How can I, as her nephew, just stand by and do nothing? I can’t stand seeing you bully her like this.”

"How much hardship and toil did my second aunt endure during her years in the Xu family?"

“You’re all blind to my true intentions, and now you’re making baseless accusations. I’m telling you right now, if anyone dares to make things difficult for my second aunt again, I’ll never forgive them!”

"Although I am young, I am not someone to be bullied. Don't think I'm afraid of you bunch of cowards who are only good at bullying your own kind."

“When my second aunt was at her parents’ home, she was the apple of my grandparents’ eye.”

"As a result, she married into this Xu family, and don't you have any idea what kind of life she's living?"

"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating her like this?"

Li Dongdong was humiliated by Chen Dong's sharp rebuke.

Feeling both ashamed and angry, he wanted to go up and hit Chen Dong.

The raised hand was held high, radiating a fierce aura.

His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his nails seemed to be digging into his flesh.

They looked as if they wanted to devour Chen Dong alive.

As a result, Chen Meiju quickly grabbed her arm.

Chen Meiju pleaded desperately, "Second sister-in-law, please don't hit me! Let's talk this out. We're all family, why make such a scene?"

"If we have any conflicts, why don't we just sit down and talk it out calmly? Why do we have to resort to violence?"

"If word gets out and the neighbors find out, where will the Xu family put their face?"
