Because of yesterday's incident, He Jiuniang refused to treat her master's illness, and everyone knew about it. The leader, who was used to being arrogant, didn't think there was anything to be afraid of, and so he said very arrogantly:

"You know that's good! Hurry up and come back with us to treat my master's illness, or we'll beat you too!"

They were all thugs for the Dong family, and they did this kind of thing all the time. They didn't care whether someone was a man or a woman; if they disobeyed, they would still be beaten.

He Jiuniang laughed when she heard this. Very good, he liked this kind of fearless person.

"I'm not going, come and hit me then!"

As she spoke, she took a few more steps forward, moving further away from the carriage, not wanting to startle the horse if a fight broke out.

The men, not to be trifled with such provocation, immediately grabbed their weapons and charged over.

The lady said that as long as she could be kept alive to take back to the master for treatment, there was no need to be so particular.

Besides, this woman is so ungrateful, daring to call herself his great-aunt. Isn't she just asking for trouble?

We'd be doing her a disservice if we didn't give her a good beating!

Seeing those people rushing over, the coachman nervously pulled on the reins. He Jiuniang had just told him to stay in the carriage and not move, which was obviously also to make sure he kept an eye on the children in the carriage.

But no matter what, He Jiuniang was just a woman. Was he, a grown man, just going to watch her get beaten up?

He can't do it!

He jumped off the carriage, ready to rush over to help, when he saw He Jiuniang lift her leg and sweep away a patch of debris.

Coachman: ...

He silently got into the carriage again, realizing that he had been overthinking things.

The three kids in the car stared wide-eyed at what they saw. Their aunt was amazing!

The group of people who were kicked out were also completely dumbfounded. How could so many of them be kicked away with just one kick?

Moreover, each kick landed in their face in a very orderly fashion, with great force, almost knocking their faces out of shape!

"What are you all standing there for? Come on!"

When He Jiuniang saw that they were all stunned and lying on the ground unwilling to move, she subconsciously felt that they must be trying to stage an accident.

She had even planned it out: if they dared to stage an accident, she would beat them both to a pulp!

The men then realized what had happened, and feeling somewhat embarrassed, they got up and charged forward again, baring their teeth.

Originally, they were doing things for the master and mistress, but now they've become somewhat involved in personal grudges, and they won't let this woman off easily!

He Jiuniang reached out and snatched the wooden stick from the leader, then used it to hit them.

Even though more than a dozen men were surrounding her and beating her, the wooden sticks in their hands could never land on her; instead, she took turns hitting her.

The four people in the carriage stared intently at the battle unfolding ahead, their expressions shifting with the scene: one moment shock, the next astonishment, and then covering their eyes, unable to watch.

After an unknown amount of time, the group of men were still unable to get up. Only then did He Jiuniang throw down the wooden stick in her hand, look down at the crowd, and say, "Go back and tell your master that if you want to live, you'd better be polite to your mistress."

After saying that, he got into the carriage and told the driver to continue on his way home.

The coachman hesitated before speaking, "This... the person is still lying in the middle of the road, the carriage can't pass!"

He Jiuniang looked at the driver with some doubt and asked, "Why don't you just run them over?"

Coachman: ...I'm sorry, I was being naive!

Having witnessed He Jiuniang's skills, the coachman now treats her with extraordinary respect.

No wonder they can be so arrogant; they're really capable!

The group of people on the ground heard this and were instantly terrified, their hair standing on end. They struggled to their feet and ran to both sides of the road to make way for the carriage.

That's terrible, so terrible!

The group looked at each other, pouted, and sighed with a sense of grievance.

How am I going to explain this to the master and mistress?

Inside the carriage, the three children stared at He Jiuniang with terrifyingly eager eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, He Jiuniang asked, "Are you envious?"

"Uh-huh!"

The three little ones nodded repeatedly.

"Go ahead and learn! Look, the dog practices horse stance every morning!"

He Jiuniang smiled like an aunt when she thought of her little darling.

"Third Aunt, but we still have to go to school! We don't have time to practice..."

Lei Zi was a little conflicted. Did this mean he should stop studying?

"That's simple. Just get up a little earlier every morning, practice for half an hour, and then go to school. If you want to succeed, you have to put in the effort. Otherwise, if you encounter this situation again, you will still have to hide behind me and rely on me, a weak woman, to protect you."

He Jiuniang became more and more engrossed in her story, even sighing, "Alas, with so many boys in the family, when will I, a weak woman, ever get to enjoy your blessings?"

The three little ones: ...Is Third Aunt really a weak woman?

When Lei Zi and Jie Zi heard that they had to get up early, they were clearly hesitant, but Xiao Hu Zi thought about it seriously and asked in his childish voice, "Third Aunt, were those people the ones who bullied my dad yesterday?"

He had just overheard those people talking in the carriage.

"Yes, but your third aunt avenged your father."

He Jiuniang smiled and patted his little head. This child was only a little over a year older than the puppy, but he was sensible and obedient, and she liked him very much.

"Third Aunt, I want to learn martial arts!"

"I'll get up tomorrow morning and practice horse stance. I want to become as strong as my third aunt so I can protect my dad!"

Little Tiger is young, but he understands things. Last night, he slept with his mother and saw her secretly crying. He knew that his mother was crying because his father was injured.

He was determined to learn martial arts, not only to protect his father, but also his mother and sister, so that they would not be bullied!

Although Xiaohuzi is young, he has experienced more than Leizi and Jiezi. His family suffered a lot from Changzhou to Ganzhou. When they finally arrived in Ganzhou City, they lived in a refugee slum and were bullied every day. He made up his mind that he must become strong!

"Well done!"

He Jiuniang smiled, thinking that she would prepare a picture book similar to the one about dogs for him in a couple of days, so that it could be used as an early education.

When Lei Zi and Jie Zi saw that their little cousin was so ambitious, they immediately felt that they couldn't fall behind, so they also said that they had to learn from him.

Everyone returned home happily. Before going inside, He Jiuniang specifically told them not to tell their family about what happened on the way, so as not to worry them. The three little ones did not think twice and obediently nodded.

The Dong family was not so happy at this time. Looking at their subordinates who had been beaten beyond recognition, Dong Dacai and Lin Shi both lost their tempers, but they had to admit that they really had no way to deal with He Jiuniang now.

"Sir, that woman said... she said if you want to live, you should be polite to her..."

The leader spoke under immense pressure, inwardly regretting his decision; he wished he hadn't taken the lead.

Dong Dacai overturned the things on the ground, almost shouting, "Polite? How does she expect me to be polite!"
