Xie Ming displayed his extraordinary abilities yesterday, and the next day, even though he still didn't get out of bed, no one dared to say anything more.

Taking advantage of the cool morning sun, he went up the mountain and carried back a lot of bamboo, finished up the shower room at the back, and finally took a refreshing cold shower.

Sitting in the courtyard drying his hair, he sighed. One really can't just create a persona arbitrarily.

He hasn't even finished cooking his own food and he's already changing maps. Isn't it a bit incongruous for this "God of War" to become a "master of bickering"?

But he was raised by his four older sisters from a young age, and the reason he grew up so strong was not only because of Xie Jiangshi, but also because his sisters saved up their food rations for him.

He couldn't just ignore it, so he was in a dilemma!

The families that the sisters married into were not very good. The eldest sister, Xie Chunniang, had to work for the family in her early years and stayed at home the longest.

She was almost 20 when she got married, and later she was betrothed to a widower named Li Da from the same village as his second wife.

The man's first wife bore him four sons and one daughter; she died while giving birth to his youngest son.

The Li family is a prominent family in Shuangbei Village, while the Xie family, having a weaker foundation, also aspires to be associated with several prominent families.

Knowing that Li Da's wife was gone, they plotted to marry Xie Chunniang off to him as a stepmother. The two families made contact, and the other side immediately gave a generous dowry, and the marriage was settled.

However, the Li family demanded that Xie Chunniang agree not to have children for five years after marrying into the family. Now, six years have passed, and she still hasn't given birth to a son or daughter.

Second sister Xie Xia Niang married into a family in the mountains, where life was tough. If her husband hadn't hunted a good catch, he might never have been able to find a wife in his life.

The third sister, Xie Qiuniang, married into the wealthiest family, but she was sent to be a widow in place of her husband, and one can imagine what her life would be like after marriage.

Of the three older sisters, the second sister's husband is the most reliable. Apart from the hardship of life, there is nothing else wrong. The third sister's husband cannot be resolved in a normal way, but there is no need to rush it.

The Li family that my eldest sister married into was no easy family to deal with. In my previous life, I heard that she had fallen ill in the last few days, but she passed away not long after.

Xie Ming could easily understand what was going on, so he had to go to his older sister's house first.

The Li family lived at the south end of Shuangbei Village, about half a mile away from the Xie family. It wouldn't take long to walk there, and he had chosen an auspicious time to go today.

Right now, the Li family's courtyard is quite lively.

Li Da, holding a fire poker, stood menacingly in front of Xie Chunniang with his back to the courtyard gate.

"Smash it, smash it down here! Just one hit and you can get that shameless bastard inside."

Xie Chunniang pointed to her head, her eyes blank and lifeless as she stared at her husband.

At this moment, her lifeless appearance made her skin appear even more sallow and her hair thin. At only 26 years old, she looked like a woman in her forties.

Seeing his honest wife learn to talk back, Li Da, enraged, threatened, "You barren hen, if you can't even produce half a chick, I'll divorce you!"

"Why can't I have children? It's because your good children have worn down the developing babies."

Thinking of the child she had lost, Xie Chunniang's tears slid down her cheeks.

"You bitch, shut your mouth! You can't even keep your child, yet you dare to slander the Li family. I'll beat you to death!"

Li Da unconsciously glanced around to see if anyone was climbing over the wall. When he saw a head peeking out, he narrowed his eyes, grabbed the fire poker in his hand, and started hitting Xie Chunniang on the head.

"Go to hell, you son of a bitch, how dare you hit my sister?"

When Xie Ming arrived, he saw the murderous intent in Li Da's eyes. It seemed that this brother-in-law really wanted to kill his sister!

He strode forward and blocked Xie Chunniang's path, grabbed the fire poker, and kicked Li Da two or three meters away.

Although Xie Ming was holding back, Li Da still felt his internal organs shift after falling to the ground, and his face was contorted with pain.

"Dad!" The children who had been hiding in the house rushed out to help Li Da up and glared angrily at Xie Ming. The older girl gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare to hit my dad, I'll go to Grandpa's place in the clan tomorrow and have him kick your family out of the village."

Xie Chunniang trembled upon hearing this. Over the years, because the Xie family was an outsider, she had suffered a lot in the Li family.

Xie Ming took two steps forward, picked up the girl, and threw her out of the yard, saying, "You little ingrate, you go now, or I'll make you eat shit when I have a free hand!"

Before he could even turn around after chasing that brat away, several boys in the yard picked up stones and threw them at Xie Chunniang. Judging from their familiarity with the action, it was clear that they often did this.

"You little bastards born of a bastard, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Xie Ming likes children, but only well-behaved ones. If it's a naughty child, he'll beat them harder than anyone else.

Still reeling from the shock, Li Da's eyes widened in fury when he saw Xie Ming grabbing his son and slapping him repeatedly. He yelled, "Xie Ming, stop right there! Stop right there! Xie Chunniang, are you fucking dead?"

Before Xie Ming could even let go of the child, he looked up at his sister and said, "Big sister, don't be afraid. If we can't stay at the Li family, I'll take you there!"

Xie Chunniang, who was standing there, stood there stunned when she heard the words "return home," shaking her head and laughing vigorously. She knew that she could not leave the Li family.

Upon hearing Xie Ming's words, Li Da stared intently at Xie Ming and said, "You dare! She is a member of the Li family, and if she is to die, she will die in the Li family."

Xie Ming threw the child, who was so frightened he didn't even dare to cry, onto the ground and walked towards Li Da.

As Xie Ming's figure drew closer step by step, he felt as if the entire dark sky was pressing down on him.

"Were you just trying to kill her? Hmm?"

"No, no! That's not what I meant!"

Li Daban lay on the ground, unable to control his fear, and struggled to back away.

Xie Ming walked up to him, grabbed his collar, and said, "You didn't think that way? That thick fire poker really hit her on the head!"
