If we follow his thinking, this troublemaker should not be allowed to live.

It's not like someone goes back to their parents' home so easily after getting married.

In my memory, the second son, not his wife, has always been the one who has suffered the most grievances.

She's only doing this because she has many brothers from her maternal family; she tried to seize control of the household as soon as she married in.

The day after the wedding, she went back to her parents' home in tears to complain, and that same day she brought her parents to beat them up.

Because of this incident, the original owner couldn't stand this troublesome daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, the Zhao family had limited financial resources and a narrow perspective. If someone in the village got divorced, they'd be gossiped about behind their backs.

The couple lived like this, fighting every three days and fighting every five days. They finally welcomed their new baby, but the baby passed away right after the new mother's confinement period.

The second child originally planned to wait it out until she couldn't stand staying at her parents' house anymore and came back.

No one expected that her return would be so sudden and involve such a large commotion.

Zhao Youcai's words startled the entire in-laws. The mother-in-law slapped her thigh again and launched into a loud, accusatory tirade.

"God, please open your eyes and look! What family could possibly have such an unreasonable in-law? They have to call the police for every little thing, and they're practically sending their in-laws to jail!"

The surrounding crowd couldn't hold back any longer and started pointing and gossiping about the unreasonable old woman.

"How did this utterly immoral creature live to such an old age? He's so old and filthy, yet he doesn't know how to accumulate good karma."

"Just wait and see! When this old lady is about to die, her sons will stuff her into a coffin and bury her alive before she even breathes her last."

"From now on, if any family has a child to marry, they'd better avoid their village. I bet everyone in that village is the same; they'll let this family embarrass themselves in other villages and nobody will care."

An elderly woman watching the commotion nearby slapped her thigh, hunched over, and pushed through the crowd to leave, muttering under her breath.

"Make way, everyone! My grandson is going to his village for a blind date tomorrow. I need to go back and remind my daughter-in-law that my grandson can't go!"

Zhao Youcai's mother-in-law was furious!

Isn't it said that Zhao Youcai has a terrible reputation in Zhao Family Village?

Isn't it said that whenever something happens in Zhao Youcai's family, no matter whose fault it is, it can only be Zhao Youcai's fault?

For so many years, Zhao Youcai has been instigating his daughter to cause trouble in the Zhao family, and Zhao Youcai hasn't dared to utter a single word. What's going on today?

His eyes darted around and finally spotted a cart full of fabric.

The old lady instantly understood. No wonder the old man spoke so confidently. It seemed that Zhao Youcai had really made a lot of money, and now he could stand tall!

Her purpose in coming here was to steal as much money and cloth as possible from Zhao Youcai's house, preferably half of it.

They originally planned to finish quickly, even foregoing today's work points, and called over all the men in the family, intending to just openly rob them.

Who knew that my daughter's two sisters-in-law were so incredibly powerful!

Especially that seemingly honest and simple fourth son's wife, who would bite him as soon as she opened her mouth and kick him in the groin as soon as she raised her foot.

The two youngest sons were now pale and purplish-blue, and even standing behind their brothers, they were still bending over and trembling uncontrollably.

The old lady was a little uneasy when she learned that Zhao Youcai had already sent someone to ask the police.

Even if she asks for her sons' medical expenses now, it won't work. Her sons are just making trouble. Let alone being injured, even if they lose an arm or a leg, the police probably won't side with them.

The old lady didn't want to waste any more time with them, so she gritted her teeth and decided to accept the loss and ask for the money back another time. Today, she would just take the cartload of cloth, letting Zhao Youcai's family benefit.

Her gaze swept over the fabric that hadn't yet been unloaded from the cart, and she gave her eldest son a wink, signaling him to take the fabric and the cart with his younger brothers.

Zhao Youcai was so angry he laughed.

He's not blind!

They dare to exchange knowing glances and coded messages right in front of him, as if his house is a marketplace where they can come and go as they please!

"Close the door! Lock it!"

The villagers were very united; they not only locked the door but also formed a human wall in front of it.

Da Mao's childish voice was even more shrill and loud, echoing outside the wall.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandma will watch over the car and the cloth for you, and we'll make sure they don't get stolen!"

"Good job, Da Mao! I'll buy you candy after this is over," Zhao Youcai replied loudly with a smile.

The other villagers from Zhao Family Village smiled knowingly.

I don't know which onlooker brought a dog, but they took off the big iron chain used to leash the dog and hung it on the door, wrapping it around several times.

The big black dog was incredibly excited, running wildly around the Zhao family's courtyard with its tongue lolling out.

The onlookers were all villagers from Zhaojiagou, and no one did anything rash or provoked the big black dog.

The big black dog had seen most of the people and was fine.

On the contrary, the second daughter-in-law's family was surrounded by the big black dog several times. It would sniff around from time to time and occasionally bark at them, scaring them all half to death.

Seeing that her parents and brothers were all intimidated, the second daughter-in-law was also afraid of making things worse. She took a few steps forward with a smile on her face and spoke to Zhao Youcai in a softer voice.

“Dad, my family specially brought me back. We should have invited them to stay for a meal, but why are you treating them like prisoners? It’s so hurtful to our relationship.”

Zhao Youcai didn't even bother to glance at her, and immediately closed his eyes to rest.
