That day, Li Rouniang felt her eyelids twitching, as if something good was about to happen. Sure enough, when she returned home after work and saw the person standing in the yard, it confirmed her unease from the day.

Zhao Eryou stood in the courtyard, looking at Li Rouniang with a sinister smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."

Li Rouniang took a step back defensively: "Why are you back?"

"I only came back after hearing the news of Mother's passing. What's wrong, sister-in-law? Are you feeling guilty?"

“What do I have to be ashamed of? My mother died from a serious illness. What does that have to do with me?” Li Rouniang said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Er strode forward, grabbed Li Rouniang's arm, and said viciously, "Li Rouniang, stop pretending to be innocent in front of me. If you hadn't tied up my mother and little sister and forced my little sister to marry, none of this would have happened. It all started because of you."

"What you're saying is ridiculous. If we go back in time, if Zhao Dayong hadn't beaten me to death and you two brothers hadn't thrown me to the wolves on the mountain, why would I have come back to do these things?"

"So you finally admit it was you who did it. Then wasn't it you who orchestrated my trip to the mine with my older brother?" Zhao Er said hatefully.

"So what if it is?" Li Rouniang asked Zhao Eryou.

Zhao Er glared fiercely at Li Rouniang: "Then go to hell!" he said, raising his hand to strike her!

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhao Erni lunged forward fiercely and bit Zhao Eryou's thigh, saying, "You're not allowed to bully my mother."

"Get out of my way, you little brat!" Zhao Er kicked Zhao Erni away.

Zhao Dani rushed over to help Erni, who was terrified, her limbs trembling, and she didn't know what to do.

Zhao Erni was pushed down and her hands were scraped, but she refused to give up and rushed forward again, raising her fist to smash him: "Let go of my mother!"

Zhao Eryou grew impatient and swung his hand to hit him: "You ungrateful wretch!"

A slap landed on Erni's face, and her little face instantly swelled up!

Li Rouniang was furious and rushed over to fight Zhao Eryou. She hadn't been training for nothing; dealing with a man was a piece of cake for her. Of course, she hadn't really realized how strong she was during her training, nor had she thought Zhao Eryou was so weak.

With a judo throw, she slammed Zhao Eryou to the ground. She straddled him, striking him with both hands, finding it increasingly satisfying: "Serves you right for bullying me, for always touching me inappropriately, for bullying my child..."

One word, one slap—he vented his hatred!

In no time, Zhao Eryou's head was beaten black and blue, and he was howling in pain. Li Rouniang was still not satisfied, so she grabbed a broom and started hitting Zhao Eryou with it. Zhao Eryou ran around the yard howling, and finally ran out of the yard.

Before leaving, he threatened, "Li Rouniang, I won't let you get away with this. You just wait."

Li Rouniang, panting, threw down the broom. Zhao Erni ran over and hugged Li Rouniang: "Mother, are you alright?" Li Rouniang touched Erni's face and said with heartache: "Silly child, if something like this happens again, stay away. Don't rush forward. You're still young. You need to learn to protect yourself, understand?"

"I understand, Mother," Erni said obediently. She didn't argue; in any case, bullying her mother was unacceptable!

Rou Niang patted Er Ni's head and said, "I'll boil you an egg. Apply it to your face in a bit, and it won't be swollen anymore."

Zhao Dani also went over and tugged at Li Rouniang's sleeve, her eyes brimming with tears: "Mother, will my uncle come back again? I'm so scared."

"It's alright, Dani, your mother is here and will protect you."

Li Rouniang entered the courtyard, boiled eggs, and prepared a simple dinner. After the mother and her two daughters finished eating, she coaxed the three little ones to sleep.

She came to the courtyard alone, unable to sleep, feeling a mix of trepidation and a tiny bit of excitement.

She was always passively suppressed when practicing kung fu with Mo Bei, to the point that she always thought she was a poor learner who started learning kung fu halfway through her life!

Moreover, when she was surrounded and attacked by Zhao Mazi and his eight men that day, she was knocked down and subdued by others. She knew that without Mo Bei's help, she wouldn't have been so powerful.

So much so that he always thought he would suffer losses when facing Zhao Da and Zhao Er, and that he would have to use the space to prolong his life indefinitely, in a war of attrition.

She never expected that when she fought Zhao Er today, that strong man who could easily bully her was so easily suppressed by her.

This gave Li Rouniang a lot of confidence. She felt that if it were a one-on-one fight, she might not necessarily lose.

Meanwhile, thinking about what Eryou had said, she feared tonight would be a sleepless night. Sure enough, the sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts.

"Brother Eryou, is this really going to work? If the clan leader finds out, he'll probably punish us." The speaker was Zhao Ergou, a close friend of Zhao Eryou's since childhood.

After being injured, Eryou went to Zhao Ergou's house to drown his sorrows. After a few rounds of drinks, Eryou invited him and another friend, Zhao Mazi, to come back. They planned to team up and deal with Rou Niang and her two daughters, sell them to the town the next day, and split the profits among themselves to live a carefree life!

Yes, you read that right, it's Zhao Mazi who kidnapped Zhao Erni. After running away, he hid outside for a while and, finding nothing amiss, quietly returned. He's currently staying at Zhao Ergou's house so he can slip away at any time. The villagers don't even know he's back yet.

Of course, it goes without saying that Li Rouniang would be used to amuse the three brothers.

At this moment, Zhao Eryou had forgotten his promise to Zhao Dahua, that the two siblings would split the money equally. Now that the money was in his hands, would he still go to Zhao Dahua?

A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; Zhao Eryou has no say in Zhao Dahua's affairs.

Zhao Dahua, who was hiding outside the village anxiously waiting for Zhao Eryou, had no idea that her second brother had such thoughts. If she had known, she would probably have been kicking herself.

Li Rouniang was taken aback when the three of them opened the door. They had actually found helpers. She was a little nervous, after all, she was caught off guard by fighting three people.

Fortunately, it was dark and windy, so she could use the space!

"Well, Zhao Eryou, you actually sent people to our house to try and kidnap us. Where is your conscience?" Li Rouniang preemptively struck.

"My conscience? You killed my mother, caused my brothers and me to be stuck in the mine, and forced my little sister to marry someone else. I haven't even settled accounts with you for these things yet. Where is your conscience?" Zhao Eryou retorted.

“I worked like a slave in your Zhao family, and in the end, your eldest brother beat me to death. You two brothers threw my body on the mountain to feed the wolves. Now it’s my fault. Did I deserve to be thrown on the mountain to feed the wolves? Did my two children deserve to be wasted by you?” Li Rou Niang retorted.

Zhao Er was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. Second, let's pin her down first. Then... hehehehe, she won't have the energy to talk nonsense anymore," Zhao Mazi said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them rushed forward and pounced on Li Rouniang...
