Mu Jiuhong was so angry she almost rolled her eyes. She slapped her chest and shouted at the wall next to her, "You son of a bitch! What business is it of yours what my family's business is! Why are you cursing my daughter?!"

"Old Qin, if I run into you on the street, you better watch your legs, or I'll break them!"

Someone from next door immediately retorted, "You dare hit my leg and see what happens! Like mother, like daughter; if the mother is a vixen, the daughter is no better!"

Don't think we don't know what's going on in your family. You slept with your boss back then, that's how you had your daughter, and that's why your boss married you!

Bah! If it weren't for your mother's sake, do you think the neighbors wouldn't know about your petty affairs?

I don't know what sins your mother committed in her past life to give birth to you two sisters!

Your mother has done good deeds all her life. Whenever she sees a beggar on the street, she runs home to get a steamed bun for him to eat!

How could you two sisters have been born, such a curse! You even kicked your own mother out! You two will be punished, struck by lightning!

When Mu Jiuchun heard the thunderclap, she instinctively stepped back. To be honest, she was quite scared. That day, she had witnessed a bolt of lightning strike and kill two small black dogs...

The neighbor on the left had just finished cursing when the neighbor on the right joined in, the shouts and curses rising and falling in waves.

Li Xiulan had a good reputation; she would help any neighbor who needed help.

She helps her neighbors pick up their kids, buy groceries, and even goes to help take care of someone who is sick!

Everyone called Li Xiulan "elder sister." Although they usually looked down on her two daughters, the neighbors didn't gossip about Mu Jiuchun and Mu Jiuhong because of Li Xiulan.

They were just whispering amongst themselves, wondering how Li Xiulan could have given birth to two daughters. It was simply a tragedy!

Mu Jiuhong cursed until her eyes were bloodshot. She cursed from the left and then from the right, but she only had one mouth. The neighbors surrounded her yard and cursed her from all sides. She couldn't take it anymore!

She pulled her daughter into the room, closed the door tightly, and drew all the curtains.

But the shouting and cursing could still get into the room.

She glared at Mu Jiuchun sitting in the room and said, "Are you even my real sister? Why didn't you help me scold that old woman Qin on the left and that widow Zhang on the right? You dared to insult me!"

Mu Jiuchun said, "If you can't even out-argue them, how could I possibly do so?"

You don't even know how many mouths you have. Even if I talk back, it's pointless. I might as well take a break and rest my tongue!

And then there's that gang of three in the backyard. Their mother is usually so filthy she doesn't even dare to lift her head when she goes out, but now, she dares to jump up and down and curse in our backyard!

Mu Jiuhong said, "No way! I'm hearing more and more people cursing us. Could it be that people from all the surrounding villages and shops are coming to curse us?!"

"You need to go out and scare them away!"

Mu Jiuchun rolled her eyes. Her sister had remembered her just now!

The key is that she's not stupid!

She said, "Alright, sister! There are probably a lot of people gathered outside. Am I going to fight them or just get myself killed? If you want to go, you go, I'm not going!"

Xiaoyan, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat? I'm hungry!

Li Yan reluctantly went out to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. Heaven knows how lazy she was; her grandmother usually took care of them when she was home.

However, at this moment, she didn't dare to offend her aunt. She obediently ran to the kitchen to find something to eat, but apart from a cold steamed bun and a handful of spinach, there was nothing else in the house.

She stomped her feet in anger. The aroma of spare ribs still lingered in the kitchen, but Grandma had taken all the spare ribs to her third uncle!

She stormed back to her room and told Mu Jiuchun, "There's only a cold steamed bun and a bunch of spinach in the kitchen. I couldn't find any ribs. I guess Grandma gave all the ribs to my third uncle."

Mu Jiuchun was furious. "What?! She took all the ribs?! Has Mom lost her mind?! Can't she tell who her biological mother is?!"

Suddenly, Li Yan heard the most crucial sentence and asked in surprise, "Auntie? What do you mean? Does that mean Uncle isn't her biological son?"

Mu Jiuhong said, "Children shouldn't ask so many questions! What are you talking about!"

Mu Jiuchun said, "Why can't we say it? I think we should tell Xiaoyan! Your second and third uncles aren't your biological brothers; only your mother and I are your maternal grandmother's biological children!"

Li Yan stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Auntie, what's going on? Why aren't they their biological children?"

Mu Jiuchun curled his lip and said, "Isn't it just because your grandma is too kind-hearted? I heard that more than 20 years ago, there was an old woman begging for food on the road with two children."

Whether it was from hunger or old age, the old woman eventually collapsed and died on the road. The two children, one three years old and the other one year old, were crying beside her.

Your maternal grandparents felt sorry for those two children. In addition, your maternal grandfather always favored boys over girls, and your maternal grandmother was also old, so she only had one daughter, your mother.

Your maternal grandfather thought that your maternal grandmother couldn't have any more children and that the family couldn't function without a son, so he brought those two boys home.

Later, your maternal grandmother gave birth to me. Although I didn't know this, your mother did; she was already ten years old at the time.

Li Yan said, "Oh, I see! No wonder I always thought my second and third uncles didn't look like you!"

Mu Jiuchun said, "So, it's only right that your mother and I take this house. Your second and third uncles aren't your maternal grandmother's biological children, so why should they take the house?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "Auntie, you're right! Although I like my third uncle, I don't think he should fight with my mom for the house!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard gate, a series of loud thumps.

Mu Jiuhong was startled. She muttered, "Could someone be trying to rush in and attack us?"

Mu Jiuchun said, "You dare to hit us? You've gone too far! Who hits people in broad daylight? I'm going out to see!"

She strode out of the room.

Mu Jiuchun grabbed Li Yan and stopped her from going out. The mother and daughter peeked into the yard.

Mu Jiuchun stood in the yard and shouted, "Who is it? Who's banging on my door!"

The man outside the door said, "Hello, we are reporters from a newspaper. We're here to interview you! Can you open the door?"

Upon hearing that it was a reporter, Mu Jiuhong hurriedly came out and said to her sister, "We can't let him in! He wants to interview us about this, that won't do!!"

Mu Jiuchun said, "What's wrong with that? I think it would be even better if reporters came! Let's let everyone be the judge!"

"They're not our biological children, what right do they have to claim the house? This house belongs to the two of us sisters!"

She opened the door after she finished speaking...
