Hearing that familiar loud voice, Li Chunyan's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Fan stood up, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Li Chunyan held Zhang Fan's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Hearing his sister-in-law say that, Zhang Fan lowered his hand and stood aside to watch. If the other party made a move, he would punch them so hard they wouldn't know which way was up!

He still remembered the last time Li Chunyan came home, she was almost sold by her family.

If Li Chunyan hadn't been lucky, she probably would have been sold to someone else by now.

Li Chunyan opened the door a crack and peered out warily. A woman immediately stopped crying and stuck out a foot to block the door: "Chunyan, open the door for Mom."

The woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her triangular eyes looked particularly mean from below. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked travel-worn.

As she spoke, her large body forced its way in, but as soon as one foot stepped into the yard, a dog barked, startling her so much that she clutched her chest and screamed, quickly pulling her foot back.

Li Chunyan blocked the door: "If you have something to say, say it at the door. There are dogs inside, and they've bitten people before. I can't guarantee your safety if you come in!"

Zhou Yongmei was furious: "I walked all night on mountain roads to find you, and I almost lost my life. Is this how you treat your own mother? You won't even let her in the door?"

Li Ziqiang, whose face was exactly like Zhou Yongmei's, said: "Li Chunyan, quickly lock your dog up. Mom has a heart condition, and it wouldn't be good if she got sick from being scared. Mom still has a fever."

He winked at Zhou Yongmei, who understood and clutched her chest, falling back into Li Ziqiang's arms, groaning "Ouch, ouch!"

"Mom! Mom!" Li Ziqiang's voice was loud, and soon he attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

"Everyone, please be the judge. This is the person who didn't even come home to see his sick mother. My mother walked all day from the countryside, trekking through mountains and rivers, and he actually locked her out. My mother was so angry that she got sick. Is there no justice in this world?!"

Li Ziqiang's voice was filled with sorrow: "Little sister, I know you don't like me as your brother, but Mom is your own mother. She carried you for ten months and raised you with love and care. Please don't be so heartless."

He squeezed his eyes hard, but not a single tear fell.

Li Chunyan laughed in anger: "You've really mastered the art of turning the tables!"

Li Ziqiang: "If I've offended you in any way, you can take it out on me. Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

He slapped himself twice, but his hands were cupped, so the sound was loud but there was no real damage.

The onlookers felt that Li Chunyan was being too pushy: "We're all family, let's just talk things out!"

"We can't just abandon our elderly mother. Look, she's sick. Let's get her in quickly."

“I heard she’s also in business. But looking at how unfilial she is, she’s a heartless person who will never make a fortune.”

Li Chunyan's expression was blank, her voice icy: "Get out!"

Since she was almost sold by her family last time, she has no family to rely on. Fortunately, she still has Zhang Fan. Otherwise, she really doesn't know how she would have survived being abandoned by her family.

Li Ziqiang was scolded and became furious. He put Zhou Yongmei aside and tried to push the door open with his shoulder.

As a result, Li Chunyan immediately knew his intention and slammed the door shut. Li Ziqiang's face hit the door, his nose stung, and he suddenly felt a warm flow running down his nose. He reached out and wiped it, and his fingertips were covered in bright red blood.

Li Ziqiang became furious and pounded on the door frantically, but the door didn't budge.

Zhou Yongmei, whose body was swaying and frail, straightened up, strode to the door, kicked it hard, and cursed under her breath.

"Li Chunyan, you bitch, you son of a bitch, open the door for me right now, or I'll beat you to death!"

"You're such a waste of money! I shouldn't have listened to your grandfather and raised you. I should have insisted on throwing you into the river!"

The neighbor was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Didn't you just say you weren't feeling well? You look so energetic."

"Those insults were really awful. Wouldn't I want to leave a family like that?"

"He was probably furious, which is why he used such harsh language."

Li Ziqiang angrily said, "Li Chunyan, if you don't open the door, I'll call the police to arrest you! You're not supporting your elderly parents!"

Li Chunyan said coldly, "Whatever!"

Hearing Li Chunyan's resolute attitude, a hint of surprise and annoyance flashed in Li Ziqiang's eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Chunyan always did whatever her family told her to do. Even if she occasionally disobeyed, they would use filial piety and morality to coerce her, and in the end, she would have no choice but to accept it.

They're so disobedient; a good beating will fix them.

His eyes were bloodshot as he kicked the door several times. Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes and slapped the door.

Countless golden drops of spiritual energy, like needles as thin as hair, flew forward through the crack in the door.

A gust of wind blew by, and Li Ziqiang suddenly felt a pain in his knee. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Hongmei's eyes were red and her face was full of worry: "My son, are you hurt? Get up quickly."

"Hahaha……"

The onlookers burst into laughter. Li Ziqiang's face turned red with anger and frustration. He forced himself to stand up despite the pain in his knees.

"I'll call the police right now and lock you up for neglecting your elderly parents!"

As he spoke, he took out his old-fashioned mobile phone, pretending to call the police, but Zhou Hongmei stopped him. Zhou Hongmei said loudly, "Chunyan, Mom doesn't want to bother you. Now that your business is booming, just give me some money for medical treatment."

“Your older brother is also too tired. I am not in good health and have to take medicine. Your older brother is taking care of me the whole time. He came to you because he really couldn’t go on living.”
