He sighed and took another sip of tea to soothe his throat.

When Chunfeng returned and saw that his brothers-in-law were still there, he gave them another beating, which really hit Liu Zhangshi right where it hurt.

They cried and begged to stop them, wiping their snot everywhere, then wiping it on their clothes and the soles of their shoes.

When she pleaded with people not to hit her son, she disgustingly wiped her snot and scratched at them.

That's not all; they even maliciously planned to push your third great-uncle down! If it weren't for your mother being here, we'd probably be either visiting him in the hospital or keeping vigil over his body right now.

"What? What does this have to do with Third Uncle?" Zhao Qingyan asked.

"Your third uncle was on his way to a wedding in town today, and on his way back he ran into Xia Zhi beating someone up."

Your third uncle saw that the courtyard was in a mess, so he didn't go in immediately.

Your master Qiancheng was leading a donkey and couldn't easily go over to help your third uncle. When Liu Zhangshi saw this, she wiped her snot, lowered her head, and viciously rammed into your third uncle.

This was outrageous! I happened to be nearby, so I kicked her away without thinking.

But I didn't intend to hit her. That wretched woman had a trick up her sleeve. She didn't just use her head to ram her; her two dirty paws were also positioned in advance, ready to push her down if she couldn't ram her head.

I kicked it away, and now my pants are ruined. It's disgusting!

Those disgusting, filthy handprints ruined my old woman's fine cotton trousers.

"Wait a minute, don't wash that outfit. Just throw it away. I don't want to wear it anymore; I'd be disgusted by it even if I did."

After speaking, he turned his eyes toward Zhao Qingyan, as if seeking help.

Upon hearing Huang's explanation, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hehe, it really must have been hard on Grandma."

Grandma said she didn't want it, and that's fine. We'll buy her something better later. Or how about we get her a silk outfit to wear?

Mrs. Huang nodded happily.

The two sisters-in-law didn't quite understand. They exchanged a glance, sensing that something was off. Shouldn't Grandma have gone to buy it herself?

Liu Xiaohua remembered that when Huang went out that morning, she was wearing a brand new set of fine cotton clothes, and it was a real shame to throw them away, so she tentatively asked...

"Grandma, that outfit of yours is still brand new. I saw you wearing it for the first time today. Isn't it a waste to just throw it away? How about I take it to the river and wash it a few more times?"

Huang felt a chill run down her spine and resisted with all her might. "No way! Even if you wash it clean, this old woman won't wear it."

You didn't see that... Never mind, I won't say anymore. I don't care what you do with those clothes, just don't let me see them.

Liu Xiaohua thought for a moment,

"Grandma, if you don't mind, I'll wash that outfit and alter it for my eldest and youngest children to wear. What's the difference what kids wear?"

Huang stared at Liu Xiaohua for a few seconds.

"Are you deliberately trying not to cook?"

If you were to wash that thing yourself, I wouldn't want to eat your cooking for five days, no more than ten.

The three women, aunt and sister-in-law, burst into laughter.

Zhang Cuicui laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.

"Okay, okay, Grandma, I'll be cooking for the next ten days. I absolutely won't let my sister-in-law into the kitchen. Don't worry."

Liu Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. "Then how about I just throw the clothes away instead of washing them?"

Zhang Cuicui is a straightforward person.

"Why throw it away? I'll cook for now, and you can cook after Grandma's nausea subsides."

"That outfit of yours was a ready-made garment, embroidered with flowers, and it cost almost an ounce of silver. It's such a waste to throw it away."

Zhao Qingyan was also amused by Huang Shi.

“Grandma, when you went hunting in the mountains, it was even dirtier, but you didn’t seem to mind. So why are you disgusted by that Liu Zhangshi?”

"Hey, don't even mention it. I don't know either. How could that woman be so disgusting?"

She cried and made a scene, and there wasn't a single clean spot on her body.

She felt like the most disgusting thing. "Everywhere you touch her is filthy..." Huang said, and actually shivered.

The three sisters-in-law burst into laughter again and then dropped the matter.

However, the story continues with more gossip.

"Grandma, with the Liu family causing such a scene, do you think I, Grandma Guihua, can swallow this humiliation?" Zhao Qingyan asked.

"How could that be? When I came back, I greeted your Grandma Guihua, Xia Zhi and his brothers, and all the adult males in our clan who were at home."

I'm planning to go and confront the Liu clan. I think Xia Zhi's intention is to make Liu Xiaomai sever ties with her maternal family.

I figured I didn't have anything else to do, so I came back.

I'm afraid that if I go and get involved, I might accidentally hurt someone.

Besides, if I can't even handle this little thing, I'm just useless.

The three sycophants immediately nodded in agreement, but also agreed that what Huang said was correct.

In terms of combat power, the Huang family is basically invincible.

Nothing was said that night.

At the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), after breakfast, the family was just about to finish harvesting the remaining chili peppers when there was a knock on the door.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Qinshi.

I felt a little guilty for arranging a marriage for my cousin, so I came here today purely to build a good relationship with Madam Huang.

She carried a basket on her arm, which contained shoes that she hadn't finished making for the old man.

As soon as he entered the door, he started chatting with Mrs. Huang.

The main topic of conversation was still the affairs of Third Uncle's family.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Chunfeng went to the Liu family to demand an explanation. At the time, the Liu clan patriarch thought that it was our Zhao family who were being unreasonable."

That arrogant man, later, Xia Zhi said that Xiaomai is now lying in the pharmacy, still unconscious.

If the Liu family doesn't give an explanation, I'll report it to the authorities.

There are several children in the Liu clan who are in school, and if a member of the clan makes a mistake, it will affect their reputation.

That old man then seriously started talking to the Zhao family.

I heard that Chunfeng is quite formidable; she nearly made the Liu clan chief faint from anger.

Finally, Liu Xiaomai's family had to pay Chunfeng 20 taels of silver to cover Xiaomai's medical treatment and pregnancy. They also signed a divorce decree with Xiaomai.

Everyone in her family, even her three- or four-year-old nephew, put their fingerprints on the document.

Chunfeng said, "I'm afraid they'll use children as bait, so severing ties must be done completely..."

Madam Huang nodded, "This kid is really something, decisive enough. This marriage must be ended."

That cut off so much trouble for relatives and friends.

In broad daylight, this whole family dared to come to our door and rob us. This family is incredibly audacious.

Oh, and that Liu Zhangshi, I've never seen such a ruthless, vicious, and stupid woman.

If you want benefits, can't you just coax them properly? Why do you have to bring your whole family over? Do you think you can get the better of them just because you have a lot of people?

This time, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly; they'll probably cry themselves to death at home.

Zhao Qinshi covered her mouth and laughed.

“Oh dear, she must be crying her eyes out. Yesterday, our Zhao family had just left their house when we heard that woman wailing like she had lost her parents.”
