Seeing her grandmother being bullied, Zhao Lian was not happy.

"Haha~"

Zhao Lian chuckled: "You old woman, you look quite old, how can you be so clueless! You've only grown older but not smarter!"

“These are our things. We can give them to whomever we want. Besides, it’s a favor if we give them to you, and it’s reasonable if we don’t.”

“Right now we don’t even have anything to eat ourselves, how can we share it equally? If you’re so capable, go find some food and share some with us.”

"If you're not capable, shut your stinking mouth. You may be the ancestor in your own family, but that doesn't apply to me. I'm not going to put up with you. If you're so capable, then bring it on."

Sun Shangxiang raised an eyebrow and immediately gave Zhao Lian a thumbs up.

After hearing these words, Huang Hui, the old woman, blushed and paled in turns. She was so old, yet she was being lectured by this young girl. She felt utterly humiliated.

Old Mrs. Huang said with a dark face, "How dare you talk like that, girl? Didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders?"

Zhao Lian smiled sinisterly: "Sorry, my mother is no longer here. Why don't you go to the underworld and complain to her?"

"Yay!"

The old woman, Huang, turned ashen-faced with anger at Zhao Lian's words. She narrowed her eyes and sneered, "I knew it! No wonder you said such things. So, now that your mother's dead, you really are motherless and without a mother to teach you!"

"How can you talk like that, you old woman?" Zhao Di was also furious, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say, she just knew she was angry.

“Mother, how can you talk like that!” The youngest son, Zhongdian, knew that his mother was in the wrong, so he tugged at Old Lady Huang’s sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lian was immediately enraged and slapped the old woman twice across the face: "I don't know who is born of a mother but has no manners, and at her age she still says such things."

The scene unfolded with lightning speed; the two slaps caught Old Lady Huang completely off guard, and everyone else was stunned.

After a while, the old woman Huang came to her senses, covered her face, and howled angrily, cursing at her two sons: "Eldest son, second son, you two good-for-nothings, you just watch your mother being bullied."

Sun Shangxiang put her hands on her hips and said, "You old woman, anyone with eyes can see that you're the one bullying our Zhaolian."

Liu Jinzhu and his brothers immediately stepped forward: "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble. If anyone dares to lay a finger on Zhao Lian, don't blame us for being impolite."

"What? Your girl hit my mother-in-law, and you want to hit us too?" Old Mrs. Huang's eldest daughter-in-law, Jin Feng, retorted defiantly.

At the same time, he glared and gestured wildly: "How can you talk like that? My mother is old and you don't even know how to be considerate. This little girl is ignorant, but why are you grown men so ignorant?"

"Who do you think you are? You have the nerve to do this? Why should we give in to her?" Sun Shangxiang became angrier as she spoke.

I've never seen anyone like this before, with skin so thick.

"Wife, please stop talking!" Zhong Bai's face was flushed; even he felt that his mother was in the wrong.

"You blockhead, why are you siding with outsiders?" Jin Feng glared at Zhong Bai. "You spineless coward, your own mother is being bullied and you don't even stand up for her."

As she spoke, Jin Feng smiled apologetically at Old Lady Huang: "Mother, let's not argue with them. They've lost their mother, after all. We don't need to get angry with people like that."

"Alright, old woman, eldest daughter-in-law, have you no shame? You may be shameless, but I am!" Old Zhong said with a frown.

It's obvious that his wife and eldest son's wife are in the wrong.

Jin Feng was immediately displeased. She hadn't expected to be scolded by her father-in-law for helping her mother-in-law, so she took her anger out on Zhong Hong and Zhong Le.

"You two are pigs, all you care about is eating. It's your father's fault for being so incompetent that he'll let you two starve to death."

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, his wife started scolding him again, leaving him speechless.

Old Zhong clasped his hands together, his smile awkward, and said to Yan Guihua and Liu Laogen, "My wife is ignorant, please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

"Old man, why are you just like the eldest brother, always taking the side of outsiders!" Old Mrs. Huang felt as if her face had been stomped hard on the ground.

"Shut up!"

Old Zhong glared at Old Huang and shouted, "I've never seen such a stupid woman as you. You're a disgrace to the world!"

Liu Laogen clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Brother Zhong, you're exaggerating. Don't let our actions ruin the harmony of your family!"

Liu Laogen exchanged a few polite words with Zhong Laotou, and although the old woman Huang was unconvinced, she kept quiet.

Seeing that they were arguing because of her, Xia Ling quickly pulled her daughter Zhou Yan and husband Zhou Chunsheng to sit down to the side. Anyway, she had already benefited from the argument, so she didn't have time to argue with them.

There's no food left, and even talking is exhausting; we don't have the energy to argue.

After this little incident, everyone quieted down and sat down to rest against a tree.

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang and the others took out what they were carrying and deliberately started eating it in front of everyone. This infuriated Old Lady Huang.

Because they had just been arguing, the young couple were afraid they would get hurt if they started fighting, so they kept their distance from them.

Watching them eat, Chen Min swallowed hard; she hadn't eaten for almost three days.

Just when she thought she couldn't hold on any longer, the baby in her womb suddenly moved, making her cry tears of joy.

That was a life, and it gave her the strength to persevere, never giving up until the very last moment.

Zhao Lian could tell that the young couple had dry lips, were pale and thin, walked unsteadily, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. They probably hadn't eaten anything for a long time.

Most importantly, Chen Min is already pregnant; they're all pitiful! Thinking of this, Zhao Lian walked towards them.

Old Mrs. Huang and Jin Feng stared intently at Zhao Lian. When they saw Zhao Lian take something out of her pocket and hand it to Chen Min, their eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.

"Thank you so much, young lady!" Li Gang and Chen Min were so excited they were almost incoherent.

Zhao Lian quickly reminded her, "Sister Chen, you're pregnant, so please don't get so excited."

"Mmm~ Mmm~" Chen Min nodded hurriedly.

After not eating anything for so many days, I feel parched and my stomach is empty.

The food the girl gave her was sweet and delicious. Chen Min ate it while tears streamed down her face, feeling that she finally had hope of living.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

Seeing everyone else eating, Zhong Le looked at Jin Feng pitifully.

Jin Feng glared at Zhong Le: "Shut up, even if you're hungry, you have to endure it for your mother!" After saying that, she kicked her husband Zhong Bai who was standing next to her: "Your son is hungry, go and find him something to eat."

Old Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes at Jin Feng: "Eldest daughter-in-law, it's just me and your father, you come along too. And second son, you two come along too, see if you can find some food to bring back."

"Mom, let's go now."

The youngest son, Zhongdian, and his wife, Wuju, stood up, and Zhongbai followed suit.
