But Yue Jiuyue had never seen what a real shrew was like. She didn't know that the more she tried to stop her from going in, the more determined Qin Shi was to go in. Qin Shi felt that she couldn't bear to lose face like that.

Being blocked at the door by her aunt and not allowed to enter her home is something she absolutely cannot allow to happen to her. She'd rather break down the door than not get in.

Yue Jiuyue couldn't stop the person who was courting death, even though she was very worried that she would be implicated.

"Hey! The Lin family patriarch and village chief are all here! What are you discussing at my third aunt's house? It's not about my third aunt's sweet potatoes, is it? That's not very nice of you. We are my third aunt's family, after all. If you have something to discuss, it's not right to leave us out, is it?"

Qin pushed open the door to Yue Jiuyue's house and, without even seeing who was sitting in the main room, began to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Are you a member of Jiaming's maternal family?"

The village chief stood up and asked.

Of all those present, he was the youngest in seniority and lowest in status. No one else was suitable to deal with a younger woman or peasant woman, so he was the most appropriate person to step forward.

It's not that Lin Chaodong and his two brothers are of high seniority or status; the county magistrate is currently talking to the three brothers, so it's really inappropriate for him to come out and greet their uncle and aunt at this time.

"Yes, what are you all discussing at my third aunt's house? Can we listen in?"

If someone who didn't know the situation heard what Qin said, they would think that she, as the younger sister-in-law, cared a lot about her older sister Yue Jiuyue.

Of those present, not to mention the three Lin brothers, who had finally managed to stop their mother from supporting her family, how could they not know the Qin couple?

Although the clan chief, elders, and village head did not know these two people, they were all from the same village and clan. They knew a little about Yue Jiuyue's family, the widow's family. One family only knew how to plunder their daughter's belongings, and the other family never visited her even though she had lost her husband and been kicked out of her home by her husband's family. Now, saying these things would only make them look foolish.

As for Magistrate Tang, the power struggles within wealthy and powerful families are incredibly fascinating! How could he possibly be fooled by a peasant woman who only knows how to talk a few words?

But he wouldn't argue with an ordinary peasant woman.

"The magistrate is here. No loud noises allowed!"

"Village Chief Lin scolded."

"The county magistrate, Your Excellency?"

The couple suspected they were hallucinating, but when they saw a group of people in the main room staring at them menacingly, their arrogance vanished instantly. They didn't even remember to bow to the magistrate and turned to run away in a panic.

Yue Jiuyue looked at the two who had lost their shoes while running and thought to herself: Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill, that saying is really true!

Inside the main room, Village Chief Lin bowed to Magistrate Tang and said apologetically:

"This country woman is ignorant and fearless; please forgive her, Lord Tang."

Magistrate Tang waved his hand dismissively and said:

"It's alright, let's continue."

The discussion in the main room continued when Qin opened the door, and Yue Jiuyue saw Liu Shi with a pleading expression.

What's going on?

Do you want her to help take care of the child?

Yue Jiuyue thought she had figured out the truth, so she squatted at the door and waved to Xiaoman'er, who was clinging to Liu Shi's shoulder and dared not move.

Xiao Man'er's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Liu Shi's consent, she happily ran towards Yue Jiuyue and threw herself into Yue Jiuyue's arms.
