Lu Changhu had smelled the aroma long ago, but Li Shi hadn't brought the food to the table yet.

After hugging Lu Dahai and crying for a while, Madam Lu told Lu Dahai about the hardships she had encountered on her escape journey, one by one.

Upon learning that his father had been killed by bandits, Lu Dahai was heartbroken, but the thought that Lu Qiqi had poisoned the bandits and avenged his father brought him some comfort.

“If we hadn’t been forced to, we wouldn’t have married Changping off!” Madam Lu said, wiping her nose with her sleeve.

Lu Dahai was also heartbroken, as his niece had married a man who was actually older than him.

It's all because of this cannibalistic world that they have to leave their homes and make a living elsewhere. He said, "From now on, you can stay here in peace."

When the eldest son's family heard Lu Dahai say this, they were relieved and their faces were full of smiles.

Li brought a large bowl of sweet potatoes to the table. The steaming hot sweet potatoes immediately brightened the eyes of Lu Dazhuang's family.

Lu Changhu didn't care what Lu Dahai was saying and reached into the basin to grab sweet potatoes.

"Ouch!" Lu Changhu, who had been burned by the sweet potato, immediately threw it into the basin. Looking at his palm, he saw that it was red and burning.

Jin glared at Lu Changhu with annoyance; her silly son was always making a fool of himself.

She really wanted to eat it; the sweet potato looked so appetizing.

But I don’t dare to touch the freshly cooked sweet potatoes with my bare hands, because that’s no different from handling fire with bare hands!

To ease the awkwardness, Lu Dahai immediately said to Li, "Bring some more bowls and chopsticks."

Li returned to the kitchen, relieved. She really didn't want to face the eldest son's family.

After taking the bowls and chopsticks out, Li returned to the kitchen; she still had to wash the pots.

Madam Lu originally wanted to say that Madam Li did not know how to respect her mother-in-law, but when she thought that Lu Dahai was a son-in-law living with his wife's family, she kept quiet.

Lu Dahai handed out bowls and chopsticks to Lu Dazhuang and the others, saying, "These sweet potatoes are delicious, you should all try them!"

Lu Changhu picked up a bowl and chopsticks and immediately put the largest sweet potato into his own bowl. He had never seen such a big sweet potato before.

Just as Lu Changhu was about to take a bite of the sweet potato, several people rushed in from outside, looking menacing. Lu Changhu couldn't help but pause.

"I'd rather feed these sweet potatoes to the dogs than give them to you heartless bastards!"

Lu Qiqi, along with the Zhou brothers and Li Qingshan, stormed into the house in a grand manner, immediately infuriating the eldest son's family with her words.

What do you mean, "I'd feed it to the dogs, I wouldn't even let them eat it!" Is that even human language?!

Before Madam Lu could even begin to berate Lu Qiqi for being such an unfilial descendant, Lu Qiqi coldly said, "Go and throw their things out, so they don't dirty my territory!"

Upon hearing Lu Qiqi's words, the Zhou brothers picked up the broken bamboo basket by the door and threw it outside.

With a clattering sound, the eldest branch of the Lu family finally realized that Lu Qiqi had actually thrown all their things out!

Lu Changhu didn't care how delicious the sweet potato in his hand was. He put down his chopsticks and walked towards Lu Qiqi, determined to beat this motherless brat to death.

Lu Qiqi stared at Lu Changhu with eyes that seemed to be coated with poison.

Lu Changhu was alarmed by the stare, but he couldn't care less about that now. Anger surged in his heart, and he wanted to slap Lu Qiqi to death.

Lu Changhu strode up to Lu Qiqi, but before his hand could even touch her face, Lu Qiqi kicked him out the door, leaving him curled up on the ground, unable to even cry out in pain.

"Changhu!"

When Jin saw her precious son being kicked out of the door by Lu Qiqi, she didn't dare to retaliate and could only run outside to check on her son.

How could Madam Lu allow a little girl like Lu Qiqi to bully her eldest grandson? She immediately stood up and cursed, "You little whore who was born of a mother but raised by one, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Lu Dahai never expected that the Lu family would actually curse his granddaughter as a motherless woman who was born of a mother but not raised by one, a whore who deserved to die a horrible death.

For a moment, he couldn't believe that these words came from his own mother.

Lu Dazhuang already suffered from headaches, and the noisy scene made his headache even worse. He didn't even have the strength to stand up and could only sit in the chair, holding onto the table to keep himself from falling.

Lu Qiqi snorted coldly, "Even though I'm motherless, I'm still more cultured than you, you foul-mouthed old hag! Heavenly lightning will definitely strike you dead first, you old witch!"

"You family of vampires, living the high life while taking my father's pension."

“My third uncle would even steal the grain he gave us, leaving my sister and me to survive on water and bitter herbs. I’d like to see who God will take first!”

"You, you, you..." Madam Lu was so angry with Lu Qiqi that she couldn't breathe and couldn't utter another word for a long time.

Outside, Jin was holding Lu Changhu and shouted into the house, "Third Uncle, are you just going to stand by and watch this brat bully us?!"

"That's right, Third Uncle, do you still keep your word in this family? Didn't you say we could settle down here in peace?"

"Now that Lu Qiqi is here to kick us out, are you still going to do anything about it?!"

Lu Changhu nestled in Jin's arms, as if he had found a powerful backer, and loudly voiced his grievances.

"Lu Qiqi is bullying Grandmother like this, and you don't even speak up for her. You're being unfilial!"

Lu Dahai had just received information that the eldest son's family had mistreated Lu Qiqi and her sister, and now he was being accused of being unfilial by the eldest son's family. The previous harmony among the family had instantly vanished by half.

Even Lu, who was hiding in the kitchen, couldn't stand it anymore and immediately rushed out, saying, "My sister is kind-hearted. When Dahai was at home, he always took things from the Lu family. My sister didn't say anything because she's kind-hearted."

"But this is not a place for you to cause trouble. Remember, this is the Li family home, not your Lu family home!"

Seeing that Madam Lu was determined to drive them away, Madam Lu immediately said to Lu Dahai, "Dahai, are you trying to drive your own mother out of the house and let her starve to death?!"

Lu's words were harsh, and Lu Dahai, who was always filial, would never kick his mother out of the house.

However, Lu Dazhuang's family went too far, not only embezzling his second brother's pension.

They even stole the food he had given to the two sisters. What's the difference between that and letting the two sisters starve to death?

While Lu Dahai remained silent, Madam Lu immediately said, "Dahai is the son-in-law my sister hired for three taels of silver. To put it nicely, he's marrying into the family; to put it bluntly, he's selling his son."

"From this moment on, you will not be able to take a single grain of rice from my Li family!"

"Stop daydreaming! You don't do any work yourself, and you expect your live-in brother to support your whole family!"

Lu Dahai never expected that one bombshell after another would break out; he was actually sold to the Li family by the Lu family for three taels of silver.

Lu Dahai looked at Madam Lu in disbelief. "Mother, tell me, is what my sister-in-law said true?"
