Li Chunhua didn't dare to truly get tough, naturally she couldn't beat her opponent and in the end only got sixty yuan, and left on sour terms with Old Lady Li.

By midday, the family was having their meal.
"Big Brother Chen, Sister-in-Law Chen! Are you home?" The old neighbour, Fifth Aunty's urgent shout rang from outside the door.
Ma Xiulian called out in response: "We are!"
The next second, Fifth Aunt rushed into the house, and upon seeing Helian Qiao still sitting safe and sound, she let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "What a disaster! Your third son's wife has sold her daughter!"
Ma Xiulian's face immediately changed, "Sister, explain clearly, what's going on?!"
"I-I went to the town to buy groceries today, and on the way back I encountered some people from the commune where the third son's mother-in-law lives. They were discussing how she'd sold her granddaughter."
