Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Now that you mention it, this Zhao the Fool really is an ominous person!"

Someone caught a glimpse of the Yang family's tightly closed gate and was so frightened that they quickly pulled their companion away.

"Stop talking, let's go."

The others realized they were in the wrong place and quickly shut their mouths and left.

Out of the corner of her eye, Zhao Qiaolan caught a glimpse of Yang Zhangshi's obese figure flashing past behind the door, pursed her lips, and followed her away.

She was the one who first took a liking to Yang Sanlang, but he was taken by that fool Zhao Yan.

Although Yang Sanlang had been gone for several years, she still couldn't stand Zhao Yan.

In particular, Zhao Yan found a daughter on the mountain and insisted on recognizing her as Yang Sanlang's daughter.

She was unhappy, and Zhao Yan and her adopted daughter wouldn't be able to live a comfortable life either.

As soon as the group left, Yang Zhangshi's fat face appeared from behind the door.

Judging from what they said—

That wretched woman took rabbit meat to Tian Xiu'e's house?!

A person who eats his own food and betrays his own people!

They're siding with outsiders!

As the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, all the good things naturally belong to the Yang family!

At this moment, Yang Zhangshi, disregarding the injuries on her face and seething with anger, rushed to Tian Xiu'e's house at the end of the village.

Tian Xiu'e went out early in the morning to find some wild vegetables.

Right now, she's picking wild vegetables with her daughter in the yard.

"Bang bang bang-"

Just then, a series of urgent knocks came from outside the door.

Tian Xiu'e's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly got up to let her daughter go back to the bedroom first.

After finishing her tasks, she didn't open the door. Instead, she stood warily in the yard and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Yan had instructed her before leaving that she should not open the door to anyone.

Before opening the door, you should ask who it is.

Tian Xiu'e also became more cautious, fearing that the old woman from the Yang family would cause trouble again.

Yang Zhangshi kept banging on the door with a stern face.

"Bang bang bang-"

She slammed her hand on the not-so-sturdy wooden door, making a loud thud.

Tian Xiu'e in the courtyard got angry, and her voice became shrill: "Who is it? Who's banging on the door? What are you doing banging on the door in broad daylight? Has someone in your family died?"

Everyone has a temper.

Don't be fooled by Tian Xiu'e's seemingly mild temper; she's actually quite sharp-tongued.

Yang Zhangshi, standing outside the door, was furious at these words. She pounded on the door while cursing, "You shameless hussy! Can't you speak properly? Someone in your family has died! Open the door right now! I'm here to get my Yang family's things!"

"Oh, who is it? It's Old Lady Yang. What did you say? You came to my Tian family to take things from your Yang family?"

Tian Xiu'e looked around and saw a fire poker as thick as an arm standing against the wall of the kitchen. She walked over and picked it up.

When she looked at the gate again, her eyes were full of disdain.

"Heh, did I hear that right? You're trying to steal my things?"

Unable to get an answer, Madam Yang Zhang rubbed her reddened hands and cursed at the door, "Pah! Who wants to steal from your family? I said I'm here to take my Yang family's things!"

"Open the door right now and give me back the two wild rabbits Zhao Yan brought back, or I'll call the village head and see how you two will ever face the village again!"

So it turns out she wanted the wild game that Zhao Yan hunted.

snort!

Think beautiful!

Not to be outdone, Tian Xiu'e cursed at Yang Zhangshi outside the door: "Pah! You old hag, have you no shame! Zhao Yan hunted the rabbit, what does it have to do with you?"

"If you want to eat it, send your second son up the mountain to catch it. Such a big man, don't be less capable than a woman!"

That old hag is shameless!

After grabbing Xiaomi, are they now trying to grab meat?

Ah!

Look at what she's capable of!

"You shameless hussy! Who are you calling an old woman?"

Yang Zhangshi was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"How can a widow like you be so disrespectful to her elders? Do you even want your daughter to marry a good man?"

Tian Xiu'e resisted the urge to roll her eyes and retorted, "Mind your own business! Who do you think you are?"

I'm warning you, if you don't leave, I'll tell Aunt Tian about your affair with Muramasa.

The Aunt Tian she was referring to was Tian Meiying, the wife of Chen Youjin, the village head.

Tian Meiying has a fiery and straightforward personality. She is relatively gentle with her three daughters-in-law, but she dislikes Yang Zhangshi, a mother-in-law who likes to torment her daughters-in-law.

Yang Zhangshi and she did not have a good relationship; they would not speak to each other when they met.

If Aunt Tian knew that her husband was having an affair with Yang Zhangshi, she would definitely bring her three burly sons to the Yang family.

"you dare!"

Yang Zhangshi was stunned. She let out a low growl and looked around. When she found that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought that Tian Xiu'e knew about her affair with Chen Youjin immediately made her eyes turn sinister.

"You slut, you better forget about this. If anyone finds out, I'll make sure you and your daughter can't live in Chenjiagou!"

Knowing she wouldn't be able to retrieve the game today, she snorted coldly and had no choice but to take small, quick steps back the way she came.

After Tian Xiue and the others had completely left, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and silently put the fire poker back down against the wall.

Thankfully, we don't have to fight.

To be honest, her frail physique was no match for Yang Zhangshi.

She can only outsmart him.

Fortunately, she knew one of Yang Zhangshi's secrets.

Ah.

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.

Yang Zhangshi, a widow, seduced a married man; this in itself shows her shamelessness.

Are you trying to threaten her with this?

She's not afraid.

Chen Qingjiao poked her head out from the crack in the door of the main room and asked with a worried look, "Mother, how did that old hag know that Aunt Zhao hunted a wild rabbit?"

Tian Xiu'e came to her senses, stepped forward, opened the door to the main room, and let her daughter out.

"Maybe she heard some nonsense from someone in the village? Alright, it's fine now. I have something on that old hag, she won't dare to come again."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingjiao said angrily, "That old hag is such a troublemaker! If Xiao Mi were Uncle Yang's real daughter, we'd see if she'd still cause trouble!"

Tian Xiu'e pulled her daughter to sit down on the stool and said to her earnestly, "The old witch's mind is inherently vicious, and it has nothing to do with whether Xiaomi is her biological daughter or not."

And you, how old are you? No matter what others say, don't take all the blame upon yourself.

She didn't understand these principles before.

The more time I spent with Zhao Yan, the more I learned from her, and the clearer my mind became.

Some people are born bad; it's a ingrained trait that has nothing to do with anyone else.

Yang Zhangshi and her son Yang Erlang were such people.

Although Yang Dalang and Yang Sanlang were also her sons, they were honest and simple-minded, just like their late father, Mr. Yang.

Chen Qingjiao heard these words from her mother for the first time and found them extremely novel. She then pulled her mother aside and asked her many other questions about the principles.

Zhao Yan was unaware of what had happened in front of the Tian family's house.

After buying everything they needed, she led Yang Xiaomi all the way to Liu'er Lane.
