In the courtyard of the Lotus family, there were many people standing. Li Laoshi's words "black snake" immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But Li Laoshi ignored the reactions of others and walked to Qin Shi's side in the crowd in just a few steps.

At this moment, Qin was still entangled with Lianhua Niang, who was crying and sniffling.

Qin was furious: "You old hag, you're worse than other people's dogs. You bite people when they tell you to, without even a bone. Is your head full of bean curd dregs?!"

Lotus Mother refused to let go: "Go ahead and hit me, go ahead and hit me, just kill me and Lotus!"

This was clearly another argument that couldn't be explained clearly, and the attempts by those around to mediate were to no avail.

Li Laoshi walked closer, but instead of making a move, he circled the two women once before chuckling twice: "Hey, Sister-in-law Ding, why are you pulling my wife so tightly? Look at you, your clothes are torn open, your belly button is showing, and there's a huge lump of mud on you!"

Hahaha!

Someone jokingly scolded, "Li Laoshi, you never say anything serious! It's probably because Sister-in-law Ding hasn't taken a bath in a year!"

Lotus Mother is a heartless person; she scolds someone and then forgets about it after a few days, but she still cares about her reputation.

Especially when a man publicly told her that there was mud in her belly button in front of both men and women, she couldn't take it anymore and quickly let go of Qin Shi to straighten her clothes.

When he touched his clothes, they were all fine, and his belly wasn't exposed. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Li Laoshi.

Li Laoshi pulled Qin Shi behind him, still grinning, and said, "Sister-in-law Ding, you'd better save face for your daughter and son-in-law! This kind of noise isn't allowed in our village; according to the village rules, people will be punished!"

Lotus Girl started wailing, "You're Qin Ling's man, so you should speak up for her!"

Li Laoshi looked exaggeratedly surprised: "It's normal for me to help my wife, but if I wanted to help you, Brother Ding probably wouldn't agree."

Lianhua blushed and quickly came over to pull her mother away: "You should leave now, go back! I beg you, please don't come here and embarrass me anymore."

Since the last time Nannan was given a baby and her sister-in-law was beaten and driven out of the village, her family has never come back.

But then she got pregnant again, and her mother came and said she wanted to see her.

Pregnant women are often sentimental, and her mother felt sorry for her, so Lianhua stayed for two days. Unexpectedly, she started coming frequently. Fortunately, she didn't cause any trouble, and she and Xu Genqing didn't say anything.

It's simply a matter of making the food a little better and adding a generous amount of oil when stir-frying.

But today, Mother acted like she'd gone mad, pulling her mother-in-law, Qin Shi, along to talk about the past.

Lianhua urged her mother to leave quickly, but someone objected. Xu Dongjuan swung her large buttocks over and said, "Hey! Brother's wife, how can you speak ill of your mother to outsiders? That's unfilial!"

Everyone heard Li Laoshi's comment about "black snake," and she naturally heard it too.

Xu Dongjuan already disliked being called a "black snake" because of her dark complexion, and now Qin's bastard was calling her that. She was furious.

However, Xu Dongjuan was already cunning at the age of twelve, and she could come up with an idea in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Laoshi protecting Qin Shi by her side, she pretended not to understand and turned to Xu Changming, asking in a daze, "Grandpa, who is this person? Why are they pulling and tugging at my stepmother in broad daylight? Aren't they ashamed?"

Xu Changming wanted to say, "This is nothing! Li Laoshi and Qin Shi have been married for over a year and they walk together all the time. Everyone's tired of seeing them like this. If one day you only see one of them and don't see the other, you'll be surprised!"

But when Xu Dongjuan asked directly, his great-grandfather found it difficult to answer and could only stammer, "Those two are doing very well now that they're married! If you have something to say, just say it, and then you can go back home!"

Xu Dongjuan frowned: "Grandpa, I am a married woman from the Xu family. I have a mother and brothers here. Why can't I go back to my parents' home? You have to stand up for me. This is not how things are done because of a mean stepmother."

In the past, whenever there was trouble, these elders in the clan would always speak up for them.

Qin jumped up immediately: "Get out, get out, get out! So what if I'm mean?"

As expected of an adversary who has dealt with each other for decades, Xu Dongjuan managed to provoke Qin Shi into losing her mind with just a few words, turning her into a mean and unreasonable shrew.

Li Laoshi patted Qin Shi, who was about to lose control, to calm her down, and then chuckled, "You say I am who you are, and I'll tell you!"

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Xu Dongjuan, "I, Li Laoshi... am... your... father!"

Xu Dongjuan is four years younger than Qin Shi, which is two years younger than Li Laoshi.

However, Li Laoshi had never done any heavy work in Xujia Village. After marrying Qin Shi for a year, he became even more delicate and fair-skinned, looking younger than Xu Dongjuan, who was dark-skinned and fat.

Now, when a "little man" is calling her his father, Xu Dongjuan instantly goes berserk: "What do you mean? Whose father are you? I don't acknowledge you."

Li Laoshi wasn't afraid of losing face. He patted his own buttocks and jumped up and down on the spot: "Wu Shaobian, I am your father, do you understand? Qin Ling is your mother, and I am your father."

Xu Dongjuan screamed and rushed over to scratch Li Laoshi, but Qin Shi wouldn't let her touch a hair on Li Laoshi's head, and they immediately started fighting.

In front of everyone, the two of them, with perfect chemistry, instantly twisted together, scratching and pulling each other's hair, not missing a single move.

They were twelve and sixteen years old back then, and they started fighting in their youth.

They fought until their children grew up, and even now that they're grandmothers, neither of them is willing to submit to the other.

Although Qin was shrewish, Xu Dongjuan was fat and strong and ruthless, so Qin was clearly the one who suffered.

The two have been fighting since they were children, and the Xu family is used to it.

Because she was a stepmother who would fight with her juniors for things, Qin was always punished.

After Xu Dongjuan got married, she fought several times with her stepmother and stepson when he returned. Even Xu Changming's elders were no longer effective at this point.

At this point, it was unclear whether the stepdaughter was hitting the stepmother or the stepmother was hitting the stepdaughter. Xu Changming could only pace around anxiously, reaching for a long bamboo pole and wildly whipping it, trying to separate the two.

But hitting him with the bamboo stick was ineffective. Since neither side would let go, Xu Changming didn't dare to use real force, nor did he dare to show favoritism towards Qin Shi in front of Li Laoshi. So he could only put on a show to scare people.

Li Laoshi rushed over and grabbed this one, then went to grab that one.

Xu Dongjuan suddenly grabbed Li Laoshi, and Qin Shi had no choice but to take two more claw strikes in order to protect Li Laoshi.

The men around weren't inclined to break up the fight.

The women among the migrant workers, seeing Xu Dongjuan and Xu Changming getting close, didn't know who to help.

Tao'er's mother tried to pull her away, but Xu Dongjuan kicked her away, and she didn't dare to get close at all.

Lotus Mother was stunned. Xu Dongjuan had always said that Qin Shi, her stepmother, bullied her and her brother, but now she had actually witnessed a fight.

Lianhua was extremely anxious. She wanted to step forward, but her mother held her back tightly: "Don't you want the child anymore? You can't stand even the slightest touch from anyone."

Lianhua was so angry that she pushed her mother away: "Isn't it all your fault for talking nonsense when you went back? Now look what's happened! You called Xu Dongjuan over, and Qing-ge will think that I'm dissatisfied with my mother-in-law. You're going to get me killed!"

Lotus Mother pouted: "I'm only doing this for your own good. Your mother-in-law has been married for so long and you didn't even tell me. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you, there's a 45-year-old woman in the village next to us who has already given up on menstruation, and she still has a youngest child."

Your mother-in-law is not even forty yet. She says she won't have any more children, but who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe she'll give birth to your brother-in-law, and then you won't get any of her money.

Lianhua was on the verge of tears: "Mother, you're hurting me, you're hurting me. If Mother wants to give birth, let her give birth. Uncle Li can raise the child too."

Lotus Mother was exasperated: "Dongjuan said you're a fool, and you really are. If she hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about this."

"Anyway, she's remarried. You need to get your money now. If you don't hand over all the money you earned in the workshop, we'll disown her!"

The fighting and the attempts to break it up were in complete chaos. Just then, Jiang Zhi finally arrived.
