As Cao Xinchun and her mother-in-law were crying their hearts out, Grandma Yang ran over and slapped Cao Xinchun across the face. "You heartless, wicked wretch! You're bullying us Wanwan sisters again! Do you think no one's backing them up? Bullying people like this, I'll beat you to death, you shameless thing!"

Cao Xinchun has been married into the Yang family for over twenty years, and it has always been Grandma Yang who has to watch Cao Xinchun's face. When has it ever been Cao Xinchun's turn to watch Grandma Yang's face?

Not to mention being hit by Grandma Yang!

She swung her hand back to slap Grandma Yang!

But Grandma Yang had anticipated this. She deliberately swayed against Nian Meili's body, then collapsed to the ground, crying out, "Oh dear! Someone's been killed! Everyone come and see! The daughter-in-law has killed her mother-in-law! Oh dear, the granddaughter-in-law is trying to strangle her grandmother! Everyone come and see..."

Grandma Yang was crying and sniffling, and Cao Xinchun stood up to grab her.

With quick reflexes, Yang Wanwan immediately helped Grandma Yang up, preventing Cao Xinchun's raised hand from striking her down—Yang Wanwan held it back!

How can this brat be so strong?!

Yang Wanwan's gaze was icy, and a mocking smile played on her lips. "Cao Xinchun, you just hit Grandma, are you going to hit her again? Grandma is your mother-in-law, your elder, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

Cao Xinchun straightened his neck and roared, "It was this old hag who hit me, not me who hit her!"

Grandma Yang clutched her chest: "Oh dear! A daughter-in-law is beating her mother-in-law! She's trying to kill me! Kill me! There's no justice in this world! Everyone, please judge this! Is there no law left? A daughter-in-law is beating her mother-in-law, and a granddaughter-in-law is beating her grandmother!"

Nian Meili retorted, "Grandma, how can you talk nonsense? Where did I hit you?"

Grandma Yang rolled up her sleeve and pointed to her arm, which looked like old tree bark. "You didn't hit me, but you pinched me! You pinched my hand so hard it's swollen. How could you be so vicious?"

Yang Wanwan: Grandma, your arms, which are covered in bark like an old tree, don't show any redness or swelling at all...

Grandma Yang: "Oh dear, I don't want to live anymore! My daughter-in-law hit me, my granddaughter-in-law pinched me, I don't want to live anymore! You've crushed me to death, I don't want to live anymore... Everyone, please be the judge..."

Grandma Yang cried and wailed, slapping her thighs and howling loudly.

The recurring theme is always the same: "The daughter-in-law hits the mother-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law pinches the grandmother..."

It was pointless for Cao Xinchun and Nian Meili to kneel and cry out again.

Cao Xinchun's eyes could practically spit fire!

That old bastard!

They're clearly standing up for the Yang Wanwan sisters!

She used to avoid me whenever she saw me, but now she actually dares to stand up for Yang Wanwan?!

Cao Xinchun: "Tell me, did she hit me, or did I hit her?"

Cao Guihua: "Auntie, you're really throwing a tantrum! You were the one who hit Sister-in-law Xinchun, isn't that right, everyone?"

Everyone chimed in, "That's right! It was clearly you, Auntie, who made the New Year's greeting, how can you keep talking nonsense?"

"What a disrespectful act for an elder!"

"He's just spouting nonsense because he's old!"

With each word they spoke, Yang Wanwan tightened her grip on Cao Xinchun's hand, causing Cao Xinchun to cry and snot stream down her face in pain.

Well, of course it's the stone man exerting force; Yang Wanwan doesn't have that much strength.

The stone man showed no mercy, and Cao Xinchun's wrist would be immobile for many days afterward.

Cao Xinchun screamed, "Let go, let go... Ouch!"

Yang Wanwan glanced at the people around her.

When their own family was being bullied, they stood on Cao Xinchun's side.

Even when Grandma Yang bullied Cao Xinchun, they still sided with Cao Xinchun.

This combination is absolutely fantastic!

Suddenly, someone shouted, "I heard there's trouble going on. Who's causing trouble?"

The town mayor and Director Qiao and their entourage arrived.

Yang Wanwan released Cao Xinchun's wrist.

Cao Xinchun recognized the town mayor and immediately ran forward, "Ouch...it hurts so much...Mayor Li, it's just in time you're here, come and help us settle this. I was slapped by that old...old lady for no reason, but she turned around and accused me of hitting her! Everyone saw it with their own eyes, look at my face, my hand..."

The mayor didn't even glance at her and walked straight past her.

"...Ugh, Mayor... Ouch... It hurts so much!"

Chief Qiao stopped, staring sternly at Cao Xinchun: "Cao Xinchun, you and your daughter-in-law knelt at Yang Wanwan's door, disrupting her normal life. We received a report and came to investigate. Tell me, is this true?"

Nian Meili, holding her child, immediately squeezed through, "Director Qiao, it's not that we're causing trouble, it's that Yang Wanwan and the others are too heartless! Look at our poor Dabao, they won't even let him into the house, and..."

Director Qiao said coldly, "That's someone else's house. They can't just not let you in if they don't want you to. So what?!"

The last three words were spoken with a chilling coldness that made Nian Meili shrink back in fright!

"But I'm her cousin's wife..."

"Your sister-in-law can't come in without the host's permission! If you force your way in, you're breaking the law! Breaking the law means you'll be taken away and detained, understand?!"

Director Qiao pronounced each word very heavily, and his voice was particularly harsh.

Nian Meili opened her mouth wide.

Is this even possible?

"Director Qiao, Director Qiao, let's talk this out! My wife is a country woman, she doesn't know anything. Please forgive her if she offends you. Meili, hurry up and apologize to Director Qiao, say you don't know anything and you'll never do it again!"

Yang Qingxia, who hadn't appeared at all, suddenly ran out, lighting cigarettes and smiling ingratiatingly.

I don't know where he came from when there was such a loud noise.

Director Qiao completely ignored him. "She's your wife? You're Yang Dali's second son?"

Yang Qingxia said ingratiatingly, "Yes, yes..."

"What, you only came out when you saw we were here? They've been making a scene all day, why didn't you do anything about it? You did this on purpose! You let your wife cause trouble in someone else's house, and you think you can get away with it just because your wife is being unreasonable? You think everyone's stupid!"

Yang Qingxia was embarrassed, but she still had to smile and bow, "Yes, yes, Director Qiao's criticisms are all correct!"

Director Qiao walked over with disgust, sat down alongside the town mayor, and took the stool that Er Ye and Shang Tao had brought out in three seconds.

Director Qiao still had Xiao Zhou with him. Xiao Zhou, holding paper and pen, sat on the stone bench and spread out his writing on the stone table.

Chief Qiao said, "We received a report that Nian Meili and Cao Xinchun forcibly broke into a private residence, causing disruption to Yang Wanwan's family's life. Therefore, we are here to investigate this matter. Everyone present, please do not leave; we need your testimony. If anyone else knows anything, please inform each other and come forward to testify."
