Xue Huaimin performed acupuncture and massage on Niu Xiaomei for several hours. By the time he finished, it was already dinnertime.

Chen Yu prepared two tables of delicious dishes and said, "Doctor Xue, please have dinner at my house today!"

She had barely finished speaking when Xue Huaimin was about to refuse, when a sharp voice came from outside: "Oh, my brother-in-law is building a house!"

Upon hearing this voice, Niu Xiaomei couldn't help but shrink back in fear. Although Chen Yu didn't visit the Huang family often, she would call them in-laws, as there weren't many families in their family.

She then strode out.

When Niu Da and Niu Er saw that Granny Zhao had covered one eye with a strip of coarse cloth, which was stained with blood, they felt much better.

"In-laws, in-laws, we've come here specifically to pick up Huahua!" When Zhao Pozi first arrived, she was quite arrogant, but when she saw that the Niu family was building a house and that the yard was huge, Zhao Pozi immediately became determined. She was determined to humble herself and bring this first wife back to the family.

From now on, her brother will definitely have to subsidize her.

In order to bring Niu Xiaomei back, she even brought her two granddaughters. In order to soften her daughter-in-law's heart, she even gave her granddaughter more than a dozen cold water baths starting last night, making her feverish.

Children are a woman's Achilles' heel.

As long as she uses the child as leverage, she's not afraid her daughter-in-law won't comply.

“These two children have lost their mother and were bullied last night while playing with some people. They said they were motherless wild children!” Granny Zhao said, crying as she spoke.

"I feel so sorry for these two kids! I'm just an old woman, I don't know anything! I don't know how to raise girls!"

Granny Zhao cried so hard that snot and tears streamed down her face.

"My sister married into your family, and just because she picked up a piece of egg she had cooked herself during a meal, you started arguing and even hit her with a chair! Now you think you can just take her in whenever you want?"

Niu Dadao.

Granny Zhao, with a fawning expression, said:

“My dear in-law, I only have one son and she is my only daughter-in-law. I love her dearly, how could I bear to hit her!”

Huang Zhigao said, "I never hit her. She was just restless in her sleep and fell off the bed!"

Niu Er retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? Your mother could break her own hand while sleeping? My sister is definitely getting a divorce from your Huang family today!"

When Zhao saw that the Niu family wouldn't let them in, she secretly pinched her eldest granddaughter, and four-year-old Huang Jianya immediately burst into tears: "Waaah! Mother, Mother!"

Huang Erya still had a fever and was whimpering; she didn't even have the strength to cry.

"Huahua, please come back for the sake of the child! Besides, we've always treated you better than our own daughter. You've had a better life with us than with your own family! How could you be so heartless as to abandon your husband and daughter!"

Granny Zhao was wiping away tears, as if she were the one who was scolded by her mother-in-law, beaten by her husband, and had her three-month-old child trampled on every day.

Old Huang also spoke up: "Which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't quarrel? Which husband and wife don't fight? For such a trivial matter, she runs back to her parents' home. What kind of behavior is this!"

Shen Yu said, "We don't want to say any more to you. Our two families are getting a divorce!"

Zhao then realized that they had been surrounded by more than a dozen strong men from Niushan Village, and the craftsmen who were building the house had also blocked the entrance to Niushan Village.

Zhao quickly got up and hugged the two little girls tightly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you bullying me because you outnumber me?" "Let me tell you, there's no way you want a divorce! Either you divorce me, or we'll go to court!"

“Daughter-in-law, tell me the truth, are you having an affair, and that’s why you insist on a divorce? If you weren’t having an affair, you wouldn’t want a divorce!” “If you go to the yamen, even if you don’t pay compensation or get a beating, you’ll still have to stay for several years, right? You’re a woman, your life will be ruined!”

"Your sister-in-law isn't your own flesh and blood, so why would she genuinely care about you? Eldest daughter-in-law, come back with me today. If you come back, serve us well, and kneel down to apologize to Zhigao, we'll forgive you! I promise I'll treat you like my own daughter."

Granny Zhao straightened her back and said with a smug look on her face.

Niu Xiaomei shakily climbed out of bed and walked while holding onto the wall. When Old Lady Zhong saw this, she quickly helped her up and said, "My dear sister-in-law, why are you up?"

Niu Xiaomei screamed hoarsely, "Bah! You treat me like your own daughter? You treat me like your own daughter, but you scold me and beat me! Even if I have to serve three years in prison, it's better than being tortured in your house!"

"Fine, Niu Huahua, even after our family has humbled itself for you like this, you still want to abandon your family and daughter. Don't regret it! Even if you beg us later, our Huang family won't want you. You're a woman who's been married before, had two children, and even had your belly stepped on. You probably can't have any more children now. Even if you remarry, I'll tell people that you can't have any more! You slut who's been ruined by my son, ruining your marriage!"

With a loud "slap," Chen Yu slapped Granny Zhao hard across the face. "Who are you calling trash?"

"Why are you even hitting her? How can your family be so unreasonable? For such a trivial matter, you're trying to get your sister to divorce! What kind of family members advise divorce instead of reconciliation?"

Even the usually good-tempered Shen Yu was amused by her anger: "A small matter?"

She turned and took a box, tossing something out of it. The bloodstains on it had dried. Granny Zhao picked up the object and said:

What is this?

Shen Yu sneered, "This is what you call a trivial matter? I originally wanted to deliver it to you personally once my sister was feeling better, but since you came in person, we've saved ourselves the trouble!" "This... is your precious grandson, a boy! He was trampled out by your good son!"

Granny Zhao and Old Man Huang felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Granny Zhao immediately burst into tears and started wailing, throwing a tantrum on the ground: "Oh dear, my grandson! My grandson!"

Old Huang also plopped down on the ground and started crying, "My grandson! My grandson!"

Huang Zhigao's face was also flushed, but he was angry. He pointed into the inner room and cursed:

"You useless, stupid woman! You can't even protect your own child! I stepped on your stomach, and you didn't even try to protect it! When you get back, I'll beat you to death!"

"Your family killed my eldest grandson! Give me back my grandson!" Granny Zhao rolled on the ground, "This is outrageous! The Niu family has bullied us! They killed my grandson! They're trying to break up my son and daughter-in-law! We've been so good to them!" "My daughter-in-law and her family are bullying her!"

Niushan Village was immediately surrounded by people.

Niu Jingwen, the eldest grandson of the old clan chief, said, "How can your family be so unreasonable? You think you can cause trouble in our Niushan Village? You won't get away with it so easily!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Huaimin went out and said, "Brother Niu, Madam Shen, if you want to go to court, I can help you. I have a close friend who is a clerk in the yamen."

"Just file for divorce and sue him for assault, and he'll never be allowed to leave the house for the rest of his life."

Registrar?

Although Granny Zhao had some property in Qinglong County, the highest official she had ever seen was a village head. The officials in the yamen were much more powerful!

Granny Zhao and Old Man Huang were stunned.

The grief I felt just moments ago at losing my eldest grandson seemed to vanish in an instant.
