Before he could finish speaking, Xie Laoda slapped Xie Dasao in a fit of rage, yelling, "I've been feeding and pampering you, and you still dare to side with your own family? If you don't want to stay in the Xie family, get out of here!"

"Honey, I didn't do it. It was Yao Ni. She deliberately framed me."

Upon hearing this, Xie blinked innocently, then added fuel to the fire, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that herself? I'm just repeating it."

Trying to control her? Hmph, no way.

I couldn't do anything about myself back then, let alone now.

"You little slut," Sister-in-law Xie gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with a vicious venom, "What are you so arrogant about? It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten the days when you were treated like a dog?"

"If I'm a dog, then you're a human?" Xie's face turned cold. "It seems my sister-in-law has forgotten the past too."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Xie clenched her fists, stormed off, and prepared to do what she always did.

Before he even reached Xie, Huang Lao Er kicked him to the ground.

He flicked his leg and said slowly, "Brother-in-law, if you can't even control your wife, I don't mind taking over."

Hearing this, Xie felt ashamed and kicked his wife, who was screaming in pain, a few more times.

"You worthless bastard, you've made me lose all face. Get back to cooking."

Realizing that Boss Xie had become ruthless, Sister-in-law Xie disregarded her pain and quickly got up and left.

"Husband," Xie said, admiring Huang Lao Er even more, "you are really, really amazing."

These words caused everyone in the room to glare at her fiercely, as if they wished they could chew her up and eat her whole.

"You heartless bastard," a sharp and sarcastic voice rang out, "Are you really that happy now that your father is gone?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xie couldn't help but tremble, and involuntarily leaned against Huang Lao Er.

"Mother, you've finally come out!" Xie Sansao's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw the person. "If you hadn't shown up, our whole family would have been bullied to death by Yaoni."

"She dares? I'll beat her to death."

“Grandma,” Huang Lao Er reminded, “Jiao Jiao is a member of our family. She’s not someone anyone can just hit. Or would you like to discuss this issue with my mother?”

Hearing this, Old Lady Xie froze for a moment. "Old Lady Jiang has been sickly for so many years, yet she's still alive. This old vixen has even bewitched the King of Hell!"

She hasn't suffered many losses in her life, but the most frustrating thing was dealing with Old Lady Jiang.

They had finally raised their daughter to adulthood and found a new husband, but the Huang family intercepted the marriage, sending their daughter away without receiving a single penny of betrothal gifts.

It made them the laughingstock of the whole village!

She still feels resentful about this matter.

Just thinking about it makes my chest hurt with anger, but there's nothing I can do about it.

That old hag, she's really tough.

I used to curse this sickly person every day, hoping he would die soon, but I never expected him to be alive and well now.

"Grandma, you're more than ten years older than my mother."

Wouldn't that be even more of a disaster...?

"You ungrateful bastard," Old Lady Xie swung her cane and smashed it over. "You don't even call me 'mother.' I should have strangled you when you were born."

Upon hearing this, a flash of crimson appeared in Xie's eyes. "You talk as if you've never pinched someone before!"

She was thrown up on the mountain three times by her own mother, pinched twice, and suffocated once.

She felt incredibly lucky to have survived.

The person in front of me is worse than a beast!

"She pinched you?" Huang Lao Er asked, his voice filled with shock and anger.

He always knew that his wife was not doing well at home, but he just thought that his parents didn't care.

"Don't listen to her nonsense," Old Madam Xie glared at Xie Shi fiercely, "If I really wanted to strangle her, would I have let her live until now?"

"I was just lucky that Aunt Qiu, who was borrowing milk for her child, saw me."

“I told you you were only a month old then, how would you know?”

After saying this, Old Mrs. Xie felt the entire hall freeze, and immediately realized something was wrong.

She instinctively covered her mouth and offered a weak explanation, "Well, I was just talking nonsense."

The reason she didn't kill the good-for-nothing was because the clan forbade a bad reputation. If what happened today got out, she would definitely be punished by the clan.

Instantly, Grandma Xie broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, she glared at Xie with hatred, "It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing!"

That brat, she's been causing me trouble since she was born.

"Are you sick in the head?!" Huang Lao Er shielded Xie Shi behind him. "You can even do this to your own daughter, you're inhuman."

He suspected that his wife's sisters, who had died young, were killed by the old witch.

"Enough," Xie Laoda said, glancing warily at Xie Laotai before speaking. "The past is the past. The most urgent matter is to discuss Father's funeral arrangements."

He never expected that his own mother would be so cruel.

Nobody wants to support someone who just freeloads, but personally strangling someone is something not everyone can do.

Subconsciously, Xie Laoda didn't want his child to have any more contact with Xie Laotai.

“Brother, you can discuss it yourselves,” Huang Lao Er frowned. “When it’s our turn to mourn, there will be plenty of people.”

"But we have no money at home, not even enough to buy a coffin."

“Then go borrow it,” Xie had already guessed that they had this idea. “You can also sell grain. The grain harvest has not been a month yet, and the tax has just been paid. Don’t tell me you don’t have any.”

"If we wanted to cause a famine, would we have called you all here?" Old Mrs. Xie was very unhappy. "Back then, you were shameless enough to let a man see your body, and I didn't receive a single penny of dowry. I was laughed at by the villagers and couldn't hold my head up. Now that your father is gone, if you don't pay for the wedding, don't even think about leaving the house today."

Who else is like her, sending their daughter up there for nothing, not getting a penny and becoming a laughing stock?

How many do you want?

"Five, not ten taels of silver, but at least ten taels, otherwise I'll go to your husband's house and make a scene every day."

“Perfect timing, my mother is always so bored,” Xie raised an eyebrow, “she just needs something to pass the time.”

"You brat, the biggest regret of my life is giving birth to you."

It came specifically to antagonize her.

“Yaoni, no matter how your parents treat you, they still raised you,” Xie Laoda said in a deep voice. “You can’t bear to let him die without even a coffin, wrapped in a tattered mat.”

"Five taels, right?" Huang Lao Er knew he was wrong for not giving Xie a betrothal gift. "We..."

“We don’t,” Xie said, pulling Huang Lao Er back. “If even the eldest brother, as a son, can be so heartless, what is there for me, an outsider, to be heartless about? We have no money, and we won’t even give you our lives. I suppose the old man wouldn’t want to use my money, which is a waste of his, for his burial.”

What does it matter to her whether the old man has a coffin or not? She was already being kind by not laughing out loud.

If you treat your son like a treasure and your daughter like trash, why are you looking for her now?

"Yaoni, this is extremely unfilial of you."

"Say what you will. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now. Just let us know the date of the burial."

Anyway, she won't pay.
