The thought of the money that was about to be in his hands flying away made Liang Zhengdong roll around on the kang (a heated brick bed): "That Liang Shuyan is really despicable. My daughter is getting married now, and I, as her father, have no say in the matter. She, she actually thinks she's right!"

Hearing her son's grumbling from the doorway, Old Lady Liang kicked the door open and came in: "Fine, I knew you didn't have any good intentions. You really wanted to sell Ugly Girl to pay off your debts. What, now that I've caught you red-handed, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Liang Zhengdong then sat up on the kang (a heated brick bed), slapping his thigh and saying, "Mother, you saw it all. If I hadn't been in debt, I would never have sold Chou Ya. Now, those people with knives are asking me for money. Tell me, can you just stand by and watch your son's men get killed?"

"Pah! I can't just stand by and watch you sell Ugly Girl, and to a slave trader no less! Are you even Ugly Girl's real father?"

Old Mrs. Liang's emotions exploded, and Liang Zhengdong was too scared to speak. But he quickly realized something: the reason why Ugly Girl went to Liang Shuyan's house was probably because of this old lady's idea.

"Mother, did you send Ugly Girl to Liang Shuyan's house?"

The old lady gave her a cold look and said irritably, "Otherwise, do you think I'd just stand by and watch you sell my granddaughter?"

Liang Zhengdong was so angry he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, are you going against your son? Now that Liang Shuyan is really something, she actually wants to keep Ugly Girl. I said I was going to report her to the authorities, and guess what she said? She said she would accuse me of trafficking children. What am I going to do? That slut!"

“Watch your mouth! That’s your sister! I used to listen to you and let you do whatever you wanted in this family. Now your wife has run off with someone else, and I, this old lady, only have this one granddaughter left. And you want to sell her off?”

Liang Zhengdong didn't want to argue with the old lady, so he said, "Mom, forget it, I don't want to sell it anymore. Why don't you come with me to Liang Shuyan's house and bring the child back? I'm worried about you being home alone."

How could Old Lady Liang not know what her son was thinking? She snorted coldly, "No need. Since this ugly girl is an eyesore at home, let her stay with your sister. In any case, the child won't suffer!"

Liang Shuyan's home.

Ruyan walked over with Chouya: "Auntie, I'd like to take Chouya to school, is that alright?"

Liang Shuyan pondered for a moment. She didn't know what Liang Zhengdong was thinking. What would she do if she let Ugly Girl go out and something unexpected happened to her?

"We'll talk about going to school later. You go first, and Ugly Girl will stay at home and not go anywhere else."

Liang Shuyan pondered for a moment: "Liang Zhengdong will definitely come back!"

Ugly Girl's lips moved slightly: "Auntie, I want to go see my grandma. I wonder if she's eaten yet. If I don't go back, will my dad sell everything in the house? What will my grandma eat then?"

Liang Shuyan stroked Chouya's head tenderly and said, "Don't worry, your father doesn't have the guts. If he dares to do that, I'll report him to the authorities and have him arrested. Your father has been spoiled by your grandmother all these years, and now he's actually trying to sell you. What kind of justice is this?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Liang Shuyan, come out here!"

Outside the door stood several burly men, each holding a sharp knife, looking fierce and menacing!

Jin Dashan and Zhao Heng happened to come out of the work shed and saw the scene before them. Jin Dashan stepped forward first and stood in front of Liang Shuyan: "Uncle, what are you doing? Are you really going to sell your sister?"

"Dashan, get out of my way! Today I'm demanding your mother hand over your sister, or don't blame me for being ruthless as your uncle!"

Zhao Heng's hands trembled slightly as he called out into the courtyard, "Erniu, Sanwang, come out quickly!"

At this moment, Erniu and Sanwang rushed out, making a total of four people including Zhao Heng. They grabbed their weapons and stood in front of Liang Shuyan.

"If you want to mess with my mother, you'll have to get past us first!" Jin Dashan roared!

In the courtyard, Liu noticed something was wrong. She went inside, grabbed a kitchen knife, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, Ruyan, Niuniu, Grandma, I saw it! Someone is bullying my mother!"

The old lady, leaning on her cane, was the first to come out.

When Niu Niu saw that it was Liang Zhengdong, she rushed forward and shoved him away, saying, "You big villain! How dare you bring so many people to bully my mother! You scoundrel!"

"I want to see what kind of audacity you people have that you dare to lay a hand on my daughter-in-law! Sanwang, bring Dahei over here and take good care of these men!"

A man in black, somewhat confused, said, "Big Black? What's that? Food, drink? Is this some kind of bribe?"

Little did they know, the "Big Black" the old lady was talking about wasn't something to eat or drink; she wanted Big Black to properly entertain these people. Sanwang chuckled coldly and untied Big Black, who then pounced on a burly man.

Liang Zhengdong's legs trembled with fear: "What? A wolf? You, you actually dare to keep a wolf in your home?"

Liang Zhengdong was so frightened that he turned to run away. When the big black dog saw that someone was trying to escape, it abandoned the unconscious strong man, pounced on him, and tore Liang Zhengdong apart.

"Help! Sister, I know I was wrong, help me!"

Liang Shuyan snorted coldly: "Someone like you think you can cause trouble here?"

Big Black bit down on Liang Zhengdong's trouser leg, and no matter how much Liang Zhengdong struggled, he couldn't escape from Big Black's mouth.

His pants were ripped in two with a tearing sound, revealing Liang Zhengdong's buttocks. Liang Shuyan couldn't help but laugh and called out, "Big Black, come here!"

Startled, Liang Zhengdong took off his shirt to cover his buttocks and hurriedly left.

The burly men looked at each other one after another. Liang Shuyan lowered her voice and said, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving? Do you want Dahei to take care of you like this too?"

"No, no, let's go, let's go!"

Liang Shuyan then returned to the yard, glanced at it, and pondered with some worry: "If it really is a bad guy, and Dahei isn't paying attention, wouldn't the people in the house be easily harmed? If there's an electric fence in the system, we can set it up around the yard. Wouldn't that strengthen the security of the yard? Even if I go out, I'll feel at ease."

Grandma Jin was furious and kept complaining, "How could there be such a heartless father who would sell his own daughter? I say, you should go and ask which gambling den this is. No matter what, Liang Zhengdong is Ugly Girl's father!"

"Mother, it looks like Chu Yan! Chu Yan is back!"
