As soon as Old Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she saw Old Mrs. Qiao staring at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Sure enough, the Qiao family was tempted when they heard about such a good thing. Old Mrs. Shen suspected that the Qiao family had made such a big fuss before just to get the biggest benefit. They wanted three acres of paddy fields and were waiting for the Shen family to come to their door.

Now, the Qiao family's wishful thinking is about to come true.

And to act all righteous and indignant isn't a good thing either.

Her face held a hint of condescending arrogance: "Sister-in-law Qiao, you can rest assured. Our Shen family keeps its word. As for concubines and mistresses, we will give them what we promise. As for Miss Shi, Shen Liang will persuade her. You don't need to worry about her causing trouble."

Grandma Qiao suddenly burst into laughter, a somewhat manic laugh.

The three members of the Shen family looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liu said speechlessly, "Second Aunt Qiao, even if you're happy, you shouldn't be so happy as to go crazy. Becoming a concubine or mistress doesn't mean you'll live a life of luxury; you'll definitely have to do some work—"

Grandma Qiao turned to the courtyard and shouted, "What are you all still doing? The Shen family has come to say that our Xi'er will become Shen Liang's concubine."

Da Yong was the first to rush out.

He had wanted to attack the Shen family before, but since the Shen family had compensated him with three acres of paddy fields, the matter was settled, so he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Now look what's happened; the Shen family is back at us again.

And they even said such awful and disgusting things.

The opportunity has arrived.

Da Yong grabbed Boss Shen by the collar and punched him.

Other members of the Qiao family rushed out, their faces contorted with rage.

Women fight women, men fight men, the older beat the older, the younger beat the older.

"It's going to kill me! It's going to kill me! How can you Qiao family members beat people like this?" Old Mrs. Shen cried out in fear, clutching her head tightly.

Her gray hair was torn apart, and she received several slaps from Old Mrs. Qiao.

As for Liu, she was surrounded and attacked by several wives of the Qiao family, and was beaten so badly that she screamed.

The three tried to escape, but were blocked by the Qiao family. They cried and shouted, looking disheveled.

Villagers nearby heard the commotion and rushed over to see what was happening; some of them exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't your two families settle things? Why are you fighting again?"

Old Mrs. Qiao: "Hmph, you have no idea what the Shen family said to us. They actually wanted our Xi'er to be Shen Liang's concubine."

The villagers suddenly realized what was going on.

The Qiao family members are all proud and would never allow their daughters to become concubines in other families, no matter how wealthy the family is.

Even in their poorest times, the Qiao family was unwilling to let their daughters become maids for other families.

"You old hag, why did you say that? If you make it known to everyone, aren't you afraid that your Qiao Xi'er will never have another chance?" Old Mrs. Shen panicked. She was mainly afraid that the Shi family would find out about their thoughts.

They're not even engaged yet, and they're already talking about taking a concubine. It's bound to cause some trouble.

"You know it's disgraceful, huh? If it's disgraceful, why did you still do it? Do you think the Qiao family is easy to bully?"

Grandma Qiao was furious and bit Grandma Shen directly. Despite her age, she still had good teeth, and with one bite, she made Grandma Shen's shoulder bleed profusely.

"Awooooo!"

Shen Laoda and Liu Shi were beaten even more severely.

Finally, the Qiao family seemed to have exhausted themselves, and the three of them seized an opportunity to flee in a panic, fearing that if they stayed any longer, they would lose their lives to the Qiao family.
