" You wasteful feeders !! I told you not to take this loser to the doctor, and you still dare to disobey. If I don't remove your heads today, don't call me Old Lady Zhu!"
" Mother, beat them to death. I've always wondered why the food in the house keeps disappearing. They must be stealing it every day."
Old Madam Zhu didn't care that Zhu Changyu was carrying Zhu Qing'an. She rushed forward with a long wooden stick that she didn't know where she got it from and swung it at Zhu Changyu's group without holding back.
When Zhu Changyu saw his mother rushing towards him, he quickly turned his back to block everyone in the house, but he was hit hard by the stick, almost knocking him to the ground.
" Sob… Mother, don't hit my brother."
" Sob… Grandma, don't hit Dad," the twins quickly went to grab onto Old Mother Zhu's legs.
" Get out of the way ! Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."
Bang ! Thud ! Ouch !!!
Zhu Changyu heard his son's cries and quickly turned around to look. He saw Old Mother Zhu fiercely hitting the two children with a stick. His wife tried to shield her children but was also hurt. Zhu Changyu could not hold it in any longer and ran into Old Mother Zhu, knocking her down.
Thud ! Scream !!!
" You ungrateful son ! Do you dare to hurt me ? Ah Hua, go get a knife from the kitchen. Today, I will chop them into pieces."
" Umm … My lady, if you really do that, you'll definitely end up in jail."
" Damn it ! Come help me get up first. I won't let them get away with it easily."
Zhu Changhua hurriedly went to help her mother up. She didn't dare to attack them for fear that Zhu Changyu would hurt her back. As soon as Old Mother Zhu got up, she wanted to rush in and hit them again. Unfortunately, another voice came from the front of the house first.
" Stop !!! It's too much, Old Lady Zhu. I've warned you not to hurt them. Do you think my words don't mean anything? "
The village head shouted at Old Lady Zhu so loudly that she was startled. She turned to look in the direction of the noise and saw the village head and several villagers standing in front of the gate. Not long after, Old Lady Zhu consoled herself before fiercely responding to the village head.
" What is it, adults? This is my house. You can't come in without permission. This is my family's business. What's wrong with me teaching these thieves a lesson?"
" Hey !!! You still dare to claim that they are thieves ? When the second family just took their daughter to see a doctor and just came back, where would they have time to steal your things?"
" I don't know. Since my house's food supplies are gone, they're the only ones who can steal it."
" Sob… Mother, don't slander us. Why don't you ask your daughter? Every time she comes here, the food is always gone. How can you accuse us of stealing it?"
" Shut up !!! My daughter is not like that. I raised her myself. Unlike you guys who only want to steal things in my house."
" You should shut up ! I warned you not to hurt the people of the Secondary Village, but you still did it. If the villagers hadn't told me about this, wouldn't they have been injured or killed by now?"
" Your Majesty, you're exaggerating. My mother is very old. Where would she have the strength to beat these people to death? My mother is just teaching them a lesson."
Zhu Changhai, who had just returned from the inn, quickly intervened to intervene this time. If his mother was tricked, he would definitely not get the money he had been asking her for.
" Huh, you guys have always been siding with each other to hurt the second family. How can you trust your words?"
" You are being too biased. My mother-in-law already said that she was just giving me a lesson."
" Yes, yes, the elder is really biased. What the eldest sister-in-law said is right."
" Talking to you guys is like playing the fiddle for the buffalo. So, are you going to keep playing the second house or not, Old Lady Zhu?"
" Why do you ask, big man? This is my family business."
" If you don't stop hurting them, I'll have them go their separate ways. Don't forget what you promised me. If your husband hadn't passed away, they wouldn't have to be your support. Don't make me report everything to the authorities. You know what the outcome will be."
" Are you threatening me ?"
" I'm not threatening you. I'm really going to do that. What do you say? Are you going to hurt them?"
" Humph, since you said that, how would I dare to mess with them? Get out of my sight !"
Zhu Changyu quickly bowed to thank the village chief and the villagers for saving their family today. If they hadn't come, he didn't know how badly his wife and children would have been injured.
The village head saw that the second family had returned to their huts, so he turned around and left with the villagers who had gathered to watch.
Zhu Changhai hurriedly walked over to support Old Lady Zhu as they headed back home. By now, his wife must have prepared dinner for them. Along the way, Old Lady Zhu continued to scold Zhu Changyu.
" Look at them. They are getting more and more courageous. They will never listen to me again."
" Mother, calm down. Don't forget that we still need to use Zhu Changyu to earn money. What if you are so impatient that he breaks into the house?"
" Would they dare ! If they ask to separate from me, I won't give them anything."
" That's right, Big Brother. Are you thinking too much? Second Brother is so stupid. How dare he separate from the family?"
" What would you know? Why did you come home today? Does your husband not mind?"
" Oh, I just miss my mother and want to come back home to sleep for a night. Is there anything wrong with that? Or does Big Brother not want to welcome me anymore ?"
" Stop, stop. Why are you guys fighting? There are only two of us siblings. Instead of helping each other."
" Oh, my lady, why didn't you include Zhu Changyu?"
" It's none of your business ! Don't pry too much. By the way, have you finished setting the table yet?"
" It's done, my lord." Hua Liu hurriedly rushed over to look at the dining table before being scolded again.
The two siblings could only look at Huo Liu suspiciously. They were afraid that she would tell others about this matter, but they still believed that she was more afraid of them.
" Alright, alright, let's hurry up and eat first. Is your son not going home or what, Ah Hai?"
" He said he had to go to school. I didn't want to upset him, so I let him stay in the district."
" Hmm, wait until your son takes the exam first. He has been studying for many years. Why hasn't the exam schedule been announced yet? I have already paid him a lot of money."
" Mother, please sit down. My son said that the teacher will wait until he has more knowledge before taking him to the exam."
" Humph, let it be true. If I find out you guys lied to me, you guys will get hurt."
" I don't dare. Mother, please eat first."
Zhu Changhai quickly tried to appease Old Mother Zhu before she could suspect him and his son. In fact, his son had been kicked out of school many years ago, so he had to ask his mother for money to pay for the rented house in the county every month. He was so depressed that no teacher would accept his son to study anymore, so he had to lie first, otherwise his sister would definitely ridicule his family.
Old Madam Zhu, who had spent quite a bit of energy since morning, ate dinner greedily, which made Zhu Changhua feel disgusted. She had been raised as a young lady, so she did not like her mother's manners very much. Fortunately, she had married into a scholarly family, so she did not have to do housework like her two sisters-in-law. However, the reason she often returned home was because she wanted to receive praise from her mother-in-law. Every time she came here, she would secretly bring some food back with her. If she did not bring any food back with her, her mother-in-law would often not be happy, so she had to find time to come here often, as everyone could see.
Hua Liu could only look at her husband who was always trying to please his mother-in-law. Ever since she married him, she had never been pampered like this. Even after she gave birth to a son for him, he didn't even think about looking after her. It was a pity that she had secretly loved him for so long that she was willing to work hard to embroider and earn money to marry him. But after he made her his wife, he didn't care about her. This made her realize that her husband was someone who only cared about money. Even though he had worked in an inn for a long time, the money he earned had never been used to support the family. It was her who had to embroider and have him sell it in the county for many years.
