Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Xin was so agitated that she lost her senses and broke free from Li's grasp, charging forward with all her might.

"Xin'er!" Li Shi, fearing that Fang Xin would get hurt, also rushed over to stop her.

Bai Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and kicked Li Shi, hitting her knee squarely. Li Shi staggered and fell backward.

"mother!"

Fang Xin glared at him, then fiercely pushed him to the ground, straddled him, and slapped him twice, yelling as she did so: "I'll teach you to hit my mother! I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

"what!……"

Screams rang out; Fang Xin's strength was terrifying. Seeing the finger marks appearing on Bai Xiaoxiao's cheek, Li Shi, worried that something might go wrong, scrambled to her feet and rushed over to stop her: "Xin'er, stop hitting her, stop hitting her."

People had already gathered around to watch the commotion while they were arguing, and some had even gone to call for backup.

Bai's mother practically ran over, pushing through the crowd and shoving Li Shi hard without asking any questions. She yelled, "You widow, you deserve to die! You can't even manage a little maid. I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Caught off guard, Ms. Li was pushed so hard that she twisted her ankle, and excruciating pain spread through her ankle.

Then, Bai's mother shoved Fang Xin aside again, about to deliver a swift slap to Fang Xin's face.

"Snapped!"

This slap was many times harder than the one Fang Xin had given Bai Xiao earlier. Fang Xin felt dizzy and her eardrums were ringing.

"Xin'er!"

All of this happened so fast that Li had no time to react. She endured the pain in her ankle and moved over, just as Bai's mother was about to slap her again.

"Oh!"

Just as the slap was about to land on Fang Xin's cheek, Fang Yu, who had arrived late, rushed into the crowd and kicked Bai's mother on the shoulder, sending her away.

"Wow!……"

"Is this Sister Yu?"

"When did she become so capable?"

"Yes, wasn't she supposed to be dying? How come she's so fierce when she starts fighting?"

Regardless of what the people around her said, Fang Yu squatted down as if no one else was there, her expression anxious: "Mother, Xin'er!"

He helped them sit up, one in each arm, and checked their injuries.

Her eyes were filled with a cold glint as she turned from Fang Xin's swollen cheeks to Li Shi's ankles, which ached from the slightest touch.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the murderous intent rising in her heart.

Bai Xiaoxiao was terrified by the commotion. She was absolutely certain that she hadn't seen wrong; her mother had been kicked away by Fang Yu. This was too bizarre.

"Ouch!"

White's mother clutched her chest, rolled around on the ground, and wailed like a banshee.

"Look everyone, those three women are bullying my mother and me because they outnumber us! Everyone, please be the judge!"

Seeing the five-finger mark instantly appear on Fang Xin's cheek, Li Shi's fingertips and voice trembled with heartache, "Xin'er, does it hurt a lot?"

Fang Xin finally calmed down. Although her head was still a little dizzy, she felt much better.

Seeing Li's teary eyes, Fang Xin immediately acted as if nothing was wrong, "Mother, I'm fine, are you alright?"

The moment Li shook her head, tears streamed down her face, and she choked up, unable to utter a sound.

The onlookers immediately fell silent, but their interest in watching the spectacle remained undiminished, though no one stepped forward to help.

Fang Yu stroked Fang Xin's face and asked softly, "Xin'er, tell your sister, what happened?"

Fang Xin glared angrily at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze: "Sister, she's talking nonsense! She said you didn't want to marry Lin Wu because you thought the dowry was too low, and she also said you stole Lin Wu's prey, and that you were playing hard to get..."

Bai Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Fang Xin to tell the whole story.

She quickly cried and tried to play the victim: "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's not true. Fang Xin deliberately came to me to brag that her sister found prey and sold it for a lot of money. I just said I didn't care, and she got angry and rushed up to hit me."

Bai's mother got up from the ground and continued to argue unreasonably: "That's right, if I hadn't come, who knows what kind of things those mother and daughter would have done to my daughter."

The onlookers began pointing and whispering, their words all criticizing Fang Xin.

With red-rimmed eyes, Li stared intently at Bai's mother, her expression somber. Suddenly, she growled, "Why are you talking nonsense?!"

Li's gaze gradually hardened, yet it flickered with endless sorrow and self-reproach.

"Mother!" Fang Yu and Fang Xin called out to her in unison. Fang Xin suddenly remembered what Bai's mother had said when she came earlier and felt uneasy. She quickly comforted her, "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense. Let's go home, let's go home."

Seeing Xin'er acting so strangely, Fang Yu knew there must be something she didn't know, and her fists clenched tightly under her sleeves.

"Mom, let's go home first."

Fang Yu and Fang Xin helped Li Shifu up.

As Fang Yu passed by Zhang, who was watching the commotion in the crowd, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Now you know how good the Fang family is, right? If you want to come back, beg me properly. This old woman will consider it for the sake of their wealth."

Life is hard for a widow without a husband, especially when she has two daughters to raise. Without the protection of her husband's family, she is naturally vulnerable to being taken advantage of by anyone.

Fang Yu glanced at her coldly and uttered a few words indifferently: "Who do you think you are!"

"You...you...!!"

With so many people around, Zhang couldn't really lash out, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.

"Stop! Don't leave! You must give us an explanation today, or else..." Mother Bai's calculating eyes darted around as she shouted from behind, "Or else I'll take this to the authorities!"

“Alright!” Fang Xin stopped and readily agreed, “It’s a good opportunity to go and tell the official who was right and who was wrong about today’s events!”

Anyway, Fang Xin was ready to throw caution to the wind. She didn't believe that the Bai family mother and daughter would dare to report it to the authorities. Even if they did, she was innocent and had nothing to fear.

"Report to the authorities?" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze darkening as he chuckled softly. He turned back, grabbed Bai's mother by the collar, and lifted her up. "Let's go, we'll keep you company!"

Bai's mother didn't expect Fang Yu to be serious, and she panicked, reaching out to pry her hand away: "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Her strength was like a tickle, and Fang Yu dragged her forward with big strides.

Mother Bai panicked completely. Her face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, "I won't report it to the authorities! I won't report it! Let me go!"

"This..." Li was also a little scared. Reporting to the authorities was not as simple as a daily routine. It could cause a lot of trouble. She wanted to persuade her, but Fang Xin stopped her: "Mother, don't worry, sister knows what she's doing."

Fang Yu stopped and laughed, "Reporting to the authorities isn't something you can just decide not to do. Just because you're shameless doesn't mean you can trample on the innocence of us three."

Fang Yu appeared to be smiling, but her words were as cold as ice in winter. Bai's mother was now even more frightened, having long lost her previous tantrum and even asking in a low voice, "What...what do you want?"

Fang Yu released her completely and threw her to the ground. He glanced around at the onlookers and said indifferently, "Simple. Apologize to my mother and sister, and we'll let it go today."
