The female lead, who died in the apocalyptic era, is unexpectedly reborn into a new world. Witness how she performs a storm-like counterattack to change her predecessor's miserable life.
...
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Chen Guixiang quickly pulled up Sun Shi, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and scolded her:
"Even eating can't stop you from talking. This isn't our courtyard, so don't embarrass me. Just eat your food!"
Seeing this, Sun could only glare fiercely at Jiang Yuwei before quickly sitting down and pulling Ning Xin into her arms. She then began to keep piling food into her bowl, seemingly unable to finish it all. She looked like a refugee who had been exiled for over a month and was finally having a full meal.
Aunt Zhang held Jiang Yuwei's hand and whispered words of comfort:
"Don't bother with them. Aunt Zhang knows you best. If you leave today, Xiao Yun will blame me for not being a good host. Go back and sit down, eat and drink as you please!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei didn't want to refuse Aunt Zhang, so she smiled gently and said:
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, I know what I'm doing. You go ahead and do your work, I won't leave."
Just as Jiang Yuwei and Ning Wan sat down, they heard Madam Sun mutter softly:
"Weren't you quite the backbone just now? You said you didn't want to eat, but you still shamelessly came back."
Jiang Yuwei raised her eyes and looked coldly at Madam Sun, saying in a deep voice:
“If you want Aunt Zhang to kick you out, then keep talking. I don’t know who’s shamelessly refusing to leave.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Guixiang, fearing that Aunt Zhang would come and drive them away, quickly glared at Sun Shi:
"Shut up and get out if you're not going to eat."
Chen Guixiang was afraid that Sun would implicate her. The whole family hadn't eaten meat for a long time because they were paying off their second son's gambling debts. Actually, her family had no contact with Aunt Zhang. She only came to freeload with Sun because she heard that Aunt Zhang's family was going to hold a 100-day banquet for her grandson.
Sun was naturally afraid of losing the prize she had almost obtained, so she dared not make a sound and simply lowered her head to eat.
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Ning Wan, who was eating earnestly beside her, and smiled:
"Wan'er was really brave just now. If anyone talks about you for no reason in the future, just tell them to go back. Don't be afraid!"
Ning Wan looked up and smiled at Jiang Yuwei:
"You can say that Wan'er is fine, but you can't say anything bad about your mother."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei felt a lump in her throat and was deeply moved. Although Ning Wan and Ning Zhao were not her biological children, she had always treated them as her own. Indeed, sincerity can be reciprocated.
Jiang Yuwei sniffed and smiled as she served Ning Wan even more food.
Ning Huaizhi, who was standing to the side, saw all of this. He was also trying to suppress his anger and didn't want to get involved in the women's fight. Last time, he couldn't help but hit Sun Shi and swelled her eyes, and Jiang Yuwei scolded him. Now that his daughter knew to protect her mother, he was very gratified.
Just as everyone finished eating and was about to say goodbye to Aunt Zhang, they heard Xiao Yun's scream coming from the inner room:
"Give it back to me! No one can take my child away from me!"
Jiang Yuwei was shocked and quickly placed Ning Wan into Ning Huaizhi's arms:
"Huaizhi, keep an eye on the fool and Wan'er. I'll go in and check on them first."
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she stepped into the inner room. Upon opening the door, she saw Granny Xu holding Xiaoman, angrily scolding her:
"You worthless wretch! You're the child I gave birth to, and you'll always have to call me 'Mother'! I would never harm you, and now you want to sever ties with me for the sake of a child who's just over 100 days old?"
Xiaoyun was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Waaah, Mother, please don't do this! Give Xiaoman back to me!"
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang tried to snatch the child away, but Granny Xu, who had brought a man in at some point, pushed Aunt Zhang aside and stood in front of Granny Xu, yelling fiercely at Xiao Yun:
"My mother and I came all this way, and this is how you treat your guests? What are you wailing about? If it weren't for your belly giving birth to a boy, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble to pick up the child!"
Zhang Tianhe rushed in at this moment, glaring at the man and shouting:
"Brother, you can't do this! You and your wife can't have a son, so you're trying to take my child away?"
"Xu Xiang! Don't go too far! Give me back my child!"
Seeing that Xiaoyun was crying as if she was about to faint, Jiang Yuwei quickly stepped forward to support her.
Xu Xiang glanced at Xiao Yun indifferently:
"You are still my own sister. Now that our Xu family has no descendants, can you live a comfortable life in Ningjia Village with a clear conscience? You might as well just give me the child. It would be better for both of us. This child has the blood of our Xu family, so why can't he have the surname Xu? I, as the eldest brother, have no eldest son, and you dare to give birth to a baby boy before us. If you don't hand the child over to me to raise, I'm afraid the ancestors of the Xu family will not let you off the hook!"
Zhang Tianhe's face was already flushed with anger. He was pointing at Xu Xiang, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't. Jiang Yuwei felt extremely frustrated. There wasn't a single person in the room she could scold.
At this moment, the villagers who were about to leave after finishing their meal outside the courtyard forgot about going home and all gathered at the door to watch what was happening inside.
Xiao Yun was also very angry at her brother's unreasonable arguments. Just as she was about to speak, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Jiang Yuwei saw this and quickly helped her to the bed. Zhang Tianhe saw that his wife had fainted and rushed over to check on her.
Jiang Yuwei glared at him and said in a deep voice:
"I'm here, don't worry. Go stop your mother-in-law, don't let her run away with the baby!"
Zhang Tianhe then realized what was happening and hurriedly turned around to look for Granny Xu. He saw Granny Xu holding a child and trying to run out in the chaos, struggling to squeeze towards the door. Zhang Tianhe rushed forward, grabbed Granny Xu's clothes, and tried to pull her back.
"Oh my god! This is outrageous! You're trying to kill this old woman! Let go! Let go of me! How can a son-in-law be so disrespectful as to pull and shove at his mother-in-law? Get away from me! Don't ruin my reputation!"
As she pushed her way forward, Granny Xu turned back and cursed at Zhang Tianhe.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Granny Xu's arm to stop her from leaving.
Seeing his mother being bullied, Xu Xiang refused to let it go. He kicked Zhang Tianhe aside and stood in front of his mother, cursing:
"I'll teach you a lesson you heartless scumbag would never lay a hand on me! How dare you bully my mother!"
At this moment, Jiang Yuwei was busy performing first aid on Xiaoyun, who had fainted. First, she pressed hard on Xiaoyun's philtrum. When she didn't wake up, she started performing CPR. After repeating this several times, Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and woke up. Jiang Yuwei also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
"Old Granny Xu ran away with the child in her arms!"
Aunt Zhang's shout almost made Xiao Yun lose her balance and faint again. Jiang Yuwei patted her shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I'll go check!"
