I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

The word "take action" might be a mere provocation to others, but to Mourning, it was an immense insult.

His face was ashen, his back teeth clenched so tightly he stared at the two people he loathed, and all he could do was scream.

San Shunzi suddenly grabbed his chin, opened her mouth wide, and laughed mockingly.

"Hahaha! With your pathetic appearance, what makes you think you can marry Ling Lanzhi, that beautiful young lady? Erlv, when that woman comes back, we'll take her right in front of this good-for-nothing."

These words enraged Mo Ning to the extreme.

"If you dare touch her, I'll take your lives."

Erluzi bent down to meet his gaze, then snorted disdainfully.

“We’re going to mess with her, we’re going to mess with her in a minute, right in front of you! Do you want to kill us? Come on, if you can slap me right now, I’ll call you sir, hahaha…”

"Snapped!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something slap him hard across the face.

He froze for a moment, then glanced at Mo Ning's hand. His hand hadn't moved. So who was hitting him?

He glared angrily at San Shunzi and cursed:

"Who hit me? Who just hit me?"

San Shunzi shook his head, puzzled.

"Where is anyone? You must be seeing things!"

Erluzi pointed to his face and roared angrily:

"Look at my face, someone clearly hit me."

San Shunzi looked closely at his face and shook her head.

"I don't see any change in your face. Are you running a fever?"

Erluzi blinked hard a few times, wondering if he had just lost his mind. But he would never admit it.

He licked his lips, looked at Mo Ning again, pointed at him, and angrily cursed.

"Stop playing tricks on me. Let me tell you, my brother and I are here today to take your wife, Ling Lanzhi, right in front of you."

"Snapped!"

Erluzi's face was slapped again. This time, Sanshunzi heard it clearly too. He stared at Mo Ning's hand with terrified eyes, then his lips trembled.

"This...this...this...he didn't move his hand, so where did the slapping sound come from?"

Erluzi covered his face, shaking his head in equal fear.

"Did you hear that? I wasn't wrong, was I? Someone did hit me."

At this point, he pointed fiercely at Mo Ning.

"Okay, it must be you again. I'll strangle you today."

Just as he was about to make his move, Lan Zhi's voice descended like a bolt from the blue.

"stop."

She came into the courtyard carrying a shoulder pole, her expression indifferent, but her eyes held a hint of sternness.

Upon seeing her return, San Shunzi immediately went up to her to curry favor.

“Miss Ling, you’re back. Leave these rough jobs to me. From now on, I’ll take care of all the water-fetching work at home.”

Lan Zhi ignored him, put down the bucket, grabbed San Shunzi by the collar, dragged him to Mo Ning, and then kicked him in the back of the knee. Before San Shunzi could react, he was on his knees.

Seeing this, Erluzi angrily cursed:

"Why are you kneeling down? Get up now."

But San Shunzi felt weak and sore in his legs and had no strength to get up.

Lan Zhi shuffled closer to Erluzi, who met her gaze with an arrogant expression.

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I don't hit women, but that doesn't mean I won't do something to you."

As he spoke, his outstretched hand was gripped tightly by Lan Zhi, and a wail escaped his lips.

"No, no, no...it hurts, it hurts..."

"Kneel down."

Lan Zhi shouted, then kicked him hard in the back of the knee. Even as Erluzi knelt on the ground, he continued to beg for mercy.

"Let go, let go now, my hand is about to break!"

It turned out that just before entering the room, Lan Zhi had already noticed the two of them bullying Mo Ning, and Er Lvzi's words were quite offensive.

She subtly instructed Xiaoxin to slap Erluzi twice before coming in.

She looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and shouted angrily at Erluzi:

"Call me Grandpa!"

Erluzi glared at her defiantly.

"Why should he? He doesn't deserve it."

Lan Zhi stepped forward and, with a loud "slap," landed a heavy handprint on his face.

"I just heard you say that if someone dares to slap you, you should call them 'Grandpa.' I just slapped them for him, so you call them...?"

"Don't call me..."

Erluzi tried to stand up, but his legs felt weak. He angrily turned his face to the side. Seeing this, Lanzhi placed one hand on his head and turned his face back. Then, gritting her teeth, she reminded him again.

"Do you want to scream?"

Erluzi, Sanshunzi, and the others had been bullying Nie Yuan in the nearby villages for many years, and they had never been bullied like this before.

Now Lan Zhi wants him to call this cripple "grandpa," how is that possible?

"Hmph! Even if you kill me, I won't scream."

Seeing his stubbornness, Lan Zhi placed her hand on his neck, about to pinch him hard, when Mo Ning quickly stopped her.

"Let them go!"

Lan Zhi, however, retorted defiantly.

"Leave? You're going to back down? They weren't soft-hearted at all when they were bullying you. If you don't make them submit today, they might come back to bully you again in the future."

Softhearted?

These were the words his so-called brother said to him before he fell into a coma; he was just too soft-hearted.

Perhaps Lan Zhi is right; one should not be soft-hearted. If he hadn't been soft-hearted back then, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Lan Zhi gripped Erluzi's neck tightly, raised her chin, her eyes flashing with ferocity, and gritted her teeth as she questioned him.

"Shout or not?"

Seeing Lan Zhi's angry expression, San Shunzi shrank back in fear and hurriedly reminded her from behind.

"A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Erlv, hurry up and bray!"

Erlv felt like his neck was about to be snapped. He shook his head violently, his voice hoarse, "I'll scream... I'll scream..."

Lan Zhi then released his hand and pressed his head down, "Say it."

After coughing a few times, Erlu brayed in a voice only he could hear.

"Master..."

Lan Zhi looked at Mo Ning.

"can you hear me?"

Mo Ning was about to nod, but seeing Lan Zhi's pale face, he shook his head again, "I can't hear you."

Lan Zhi grabbed Er Lv's hair and loudly reminded him,

“He can’t hear you, speak louder.”

"Master..."

This time, Erluzi seemed to have used all his strength, and Lanzhi let out a soft snort before flicking his head off.

"If anyone dares to bully Mo Ning again, I, Ling Lanzhi, will not let them off easily. Remember that?"

San Shunzi nodded frantically, as if pounding garlic.

"I heard."

Erlu had long since lost his earlier arrogance and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"I heard it...I heard it."

"roll!"

As soon as they uttered that word, they regained feeling in their legs, and they scrambled to their feet, tumbling and crawling towards the front door.

The scene before him seemed to frighten Mo Ning. He stared blankly in the direction of the gate, unsure of what to say.

Lan Zhi took a deep breath, changed her stern tone from before, and asked softly,

"They didn't scare you, did they?"
