Li Changlong was initially blocked outside by a group of aunties. As a man, he couldn't force his way in like Lu Qiqi.

Li Changlong didn't care about anything else now, he pushed aside the group of women and rushed in.

Li Changlong angrily retorted to Zhang Cuihua, "What does your second child's disappearance have to do with my second sister?"

"If you dare push my second sister down the mountain, when the village chief arrives, he'll take you to see the officials!"

Everyone in the village knew about Li Changlong and the village chief escorting Li Nianzi to the authorities.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua immediately cowered. She crawled to Li Yuantian's side, grabbed her eldest son's leg, and cried, "Son, you can't just watch him bully your mother!"

Just then, Madam Lu and Madam Li arrived. Madam Lu pointed at Zhang Cuihua's nose and cursed, "You old rascal, you have no conscience at all!"

Lu's insults were harsh, and Li Yuantian looked embarrassed, but he couldn't argue with a woman, especially since they were in the wrong.

Madam Lu slapped away Madam Li's hand that was pulling at her sleeve and continued to scold, "If it weren't for you always doting on your youngest son..."

"Why would Erwa's mother need to both deliver meals and gather more firewood, lest she lose Erwa?"

“That’s because she didn’t keep an eye on him! I’ll skin her alive when I get back,” Zhang Cuihua still blamed Erwa’s mother entirely.

Lu despised people like Zhang Cuihua the most; she had a good daughter-in-law but still complained about everything.

"Hmph, she not only has to take care of your whole family, but she also wants to earn an extra penny for the family. You don't help take care of the children, and you keep nagging Erwa's mother all day long."

“Your youngest son took the exam for five years in a row and failed to even pass the preliminary examination.”

"You're still daydreaming about the mother of a top scholar, thinking he'll bring you a phoenix coronet and wedding gown."

Keep dreaming!
