One by one, they put down what they were doing and gathered around.

You can't blame them for being too gossipy; after all, it's related to whether they'll get paid after they finish their work.

Even Foreman Jiang stood aside, holding the blueprints, unsure of what to do.

Lin Jiujiu didn't care who this old woman was; there was no way she could hit her.

She grabbed the old woman's pulse point and slapped her across the face.

"Smack!"

Old Mrs. Lin was slapped to the ground.

Old Mrs. Lin had never suffered such a loss in her life, relying on having given birth to five sons. Now, in her old age, she was even beaten by her granddaughter. How could she accept this? She couldn't help but point at Lin Jiujiu and start cursing.

"Lin Jiujiu, you're a madwoman! You even dared to lay a hand on your own grandmother! I'm going to the authorities to report you for being unfilial."

Lin Jiujiu frowned slightly as she watched her go crazy.

"Go ahead and sue me if you want. I'm just a married woman, I have no obligation to be filial to you."

After Lin Jiujiu finished speaking, she glanced down at her and said coldly, "If you dare to point at me again next time, I'll break whichever hand you stick out."

Old Mrs. Lin had already heard about Lin Jiujiu dealing with the Xiao family members.

I originally thought that because of her status as an elder and the presence of that scoundrel Lao Wu, this little bitch wouldn't dare to really lay a hand on me.

But now, Old Lady Lin is no longer sure.

When Lin's father saw his mother being slapped to the ground by his own daughter, he wanted to help her up, but before he could even lift his foot, he was already on the ground.

Lin Jiujiu seemed to have expected this, and turned around to glare at him.

Lin's father immediately cowered, looking down and picking at his fingers, not daring to look up.

Lin Jiujiu was fairly satisfied with her father's reaction.

However, Lin's other sons disagreed.

Seeing that Old Lady Lin had suffered a loss at Lin Jiujiu's hands, he raised his fist and smashed it at her.

Lin Jiujiu didn't even care about those few pig butchers from the Sun family, let alone those lazy good-for-nothings from the Lin family.

Lin Jiujiu didn't want to put her parents in a difficult position, so she confronted them directly.

She grabbed Lin Dashuan's arm and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, then kicked Lin Sanshan, who was rushing towards her, away.

Lin Erzhu and Lin Siniu were a beat slow to react. Seeing that neither of their eldest nor third brothers were a match for Lin Jiujiu, they immediately backed down.

Not only did he not dare to rush forward and offer himself up for another kill, he also subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Jiujiu glanced at the two cowards, and seeing that they had no intention of making another move, she also stopped.

Trying to strike first but being countered instead, Old Lady Lin had never suffered such a loss before.

Seeing that none of her four sons could beat Lin Jiujiu, she immediately turned her attention to Lin's father.

"Fifth brother, are you just going to watch your daughter beat up your mother and brothers? Have you lost your conscience?"

Mr. Lin wanted to help the person up, but Mrs. Lin pulled him back from behind.

Mr. Lin finally came to his senses and looked at Mrs. Lin with a pained expression.

"Mom, today is the auspicious day for Jiu Jiu to start construction on her new house. What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Old Mrs. Lin never expected that her usually honest and submissive fifth son would dare to speak to her like that.

He immediately refused to cooperate, lay down on the ground, slapped the ground with his hands, kicked his legs wildly, and started throwing a tantrum.

"My God, please open your eyes and look! What sins have I committed to give birth to such an unfilial child!"

"Watching your own daughter beat your mother without saying a word is the height of filial impiety! May lightning strike her dead!"

Mr. Lin was at a loss for words when Old Mrs. Lin pointed her finger at him and started scolding him.

He was used to his mother doing this; in the past, whenever she was dissatisfied with something, she would curse him like this, pointing to the sky.

But now there are so many people watching, including many migrant workers. If she keeps making a scene like this, her daughter's reputation will be completely ruined.

After this, who would dare to marry her?

Lin's father finally hardened his heart, broke free from his wife's hand, and walked towards Lin's mother.

"Mom, let's stop making a fuss, okay? Let's go home."

As Lin's father was speaking, he went to help Lin's mother up, but was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground.

Despite her advanced age, Grandma Lin is quite strong. She usually feeds the two old folks the best food and drink at home. She kicked at Mr. Lin's heart with no restraint.

Lin's father was kicked so hard he lost his breath, and his face turned pale.

Lin Ze and Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin's father away.

Old Mrs. Lin was still not satisfied, so she got up and stretched out her claws to hit his face.

It looked like her long, sharp fingernails were about to scratch Lin's father's eyes.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Jiujiu's eyes as she grabbed her wrist and said in a cold voice.

"Spit it out. If you dare lay a hand on my father again, you can forget about having this claw today."

Lin Jiujiu wasn't without a way to shut the old lady up.

However, she felt that today might be an opportunity.

A chance for the family to escape from that hellhole.

Old Mrs. Lin was a little scared when she saw the woman's murderous look, but she was also a little unwilling when she thought of the silver in the woman's hand.

She broke free from Lin Jiujiu's hand and carefully took a step back until she was next to her children and grandchildren, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that she felt more confident, the old woman stopped being so polite.

Not daring to confront Lin Jiujiu, she turned her attention to Lin's father.

"Fifth brother, you good-for-nothing! So many people in the family are starving, and your nephew is of marriageable age, but we haven't even raised enough for the bride price yet. And you actually stole money from the family to buy land and build a house for this wretched girl. Don't you have any respect for your father and me?"

Lin Jiujiu had long guessed that Old Madam Lin was going to make a big move, but she didn't expect her to make such a foolish move.

Upon hearing his mother's accusation, Lin's father panicked and hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

"No, Mother, Jiu Jiu's money wasn't given to her by me; she earned it herself. I didn't steal any money from home."

However, Old Lady Lin clearly had no intention of listening to his explanation; she only wanted to make this a reality so that she could get her hands on the money from Lin Jiujiu.

"No? If it wasn't from you, then where did she get the money to buy the land and hire so many people to work?"

As she spoke, Old Lady Lin glanced at the workers who had gathered around.

"You all leave. We have no money, and we won't build this house anymore."

Foreman Jiang looked at Lin Jiujiu with a troubled expression.

After all, they were there to help her with her work, but the old lady was clearly her elder, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Lin Jiujiu didn't say anything, she just chuckled.

Old Mrs. Lin heard the sarcasm in her laughter and immediately pointed at Mr. Lin in dissatisfaction.

"Well, now she even dares to breathe directly into Grandma's nose. As her father, you should teach her a lesson. She's really out of control."

Old Mrs. Lin clearly knew that Lin Jiujiu wouldn't give her any face, which is why she instructed her father to take action against Lin Jiujiu.

Mr. Lin looked at his mother with a troubled expression.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Mother, please stop fooling around here, okay?"
