Seeing that Xu Feng and Xu Jing were both grabbing things, Ning Xin's eyes darted around and she spotted Ning Wan eating a plate of sweet and sour pork in the corner. She immediately wiped away her tears, stood up, rushed to Ning Wan, slapped her across the face, and snatched the sweet and sour pork from her hand in the next second.

Ning Xin had never seen such golden and fragrant meat before. She grabbed a piece with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth. Xu Feng and Xu Jing also saw Ning Xin eating meat. They forgot about drinking their herbal tea and rushed to Ning Xin to snatch the sweet and sour pork from her hand. The two brothers then started eating.

Ning Wan watched pitifully as the three men snatched her meat, but dared not say anything. After all, they had done the same thing to her when she was in the Ning family. If she dared to resist, she would only be beaten even more severely.

Seeing that the meat in her hand had been snatched away by the Xu brothers, Xu Feng and Xu Jing, Ning Xin didn't dare to go forward to take it back. Instead, she turned around and slapped Ning Wan twice across the face. Ning Wan's face immediately turned bright red, and tears streamed down her face.

Ning Xin said to Ning Wan without caring at all:

"Go and bring me another plate of meat!"

Jiang Yuwei also noticed the commotion. Seeing that Ning Wan's fair face was red and swollen from the beating, she was immediately filled with anger. She put down the herbal tea and walked over, grabbed Ning Wan's hand, and slapped Ning Xin's face several times.

Ning Xin was stunned by Jiang Yuwei's imposing aura. After the beating, it took her a long time to recover before she felt the burning pain on her face, and then she started howling like a banshee:

"Mother, Mother, my aunt hit me, she hit me."

Xu Feng, who was standing to the side eating meat, was startled by what he saw. He quickly took the meat and ran to his mother, Ning Yunyun.

Seeing that her daughter had been wronged, Madam Sun quickly got up and hugged her, glaring fiercely at Jiang Yuwei as she scolded:

"You jinxed bastard, how dare you hit my daughter? Who do you think you are, daring to lay a hand on her? Do you think everyone is as worthless as you, that others can marry you for a mere tael of silver? Our Xin'er is precious, can you afford to pay for the damage you've done?"

Jiang Yuwei retorted without backing down:

"Your Ningxin is precious my ass! Look at how ugly she is, I don't know who she took after. I don't think the second son is this ugly. Could it be that your Ningxin is some bastard you brought from outside? Oh dear, no wonder you're the only one who dotes on her. My Ningwan is different. She's always been a quiet and obedient young lady. If I don't teach her to fight back, she'll only be bullied by this bastard."

After saying this, Jiang Yuwei looked down at Ning Wan and said:

"Wan'er, remember, no matter who hits you in the future, you must hit them back twice as hard. If you can't beat them, call your mother to stand up for you."

Ning Wan looked at Jiang Yuwei's determined eyes and nodded seriously.

Jiang Yuwei then looked up at Ning Xin and said:

"Shut up! All you do is wail and howl all day. Did your father or mother die? You cry endlessly all day long. If you're in my house, you'd better behave yourself and listen to my discipline. Otherwise, get out! Who taught you to eat my food and then dare to hit my daughter? I'd rather feed that plate of meat to a stray dog ​​than to a heartless ingrate like you!"

Hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Ning Xin was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying. She still wanted to eat meat and didn't want to be kicked out.

When Mrs. Sun saw that Jiang Yuwei was insulting her daughter like this, she shouted angrily:

"Is this how you treat guests? Our parents have been waiting for so long, and you haven't even served a single dish of meat. You only care about feeding your worthless daughter meat, but not the guests. How can this be reasonable? Humph, someone like you will be beaten in the Ning family!"

Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but laugh at Sun's shamelessness:

“My daughter is not a money-loser, your whole family is a money-loser. A guest is only considered a guest if the host invites you. What kind of guest comes empty-handed? You have the nerve to call yourself a guest? I think you're more like a plague god.”

As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she glanced sideways at the Ning family members sitting at the kang table:

"Besides, I made enough food for everyone. You arrived late, so naturally you didn't get any. Those two dishes on your table were leftovers that I managed to save for you. You were nowhere to be seen when I was working, but you all show up for meals. Let the villagers judge for themselves, is this how people behave?"

Sun was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her face turned as red as a pig's liver as she glared at Jiang Yuwei.

Old Man Ning could no longer sit still and stood up, saying:

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you've got quite the mouth! We were wrong today, let's go!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Guixiang and walked out of the courtyard. Seeing that his mother had been taken away, Ning Chunlin felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so he pulled his wife, Sun, and followed her out. Ning Yunyun, seeing this, couldn't bear to part with the plate of sweet and sour pork that her sons had brought, so she gritted her teeth and stuffed it all into her and her two sons' mouths, then got up and left with her sons.

Jiang Yuwei looked at this shameless family with a sense of helplessness. However, today was the big day for hot pot, and she couldn't go too far. With so many people watching, if she went too far, she might lose her reason.

After the Ning family left, everyone had almost finished eating. They were all very satisfied. Except for the men who came to help every day, the elderly, women and children had not eaten such delicious food for a long time. When they left, they kept praising the eldest daughter-in-law for her delicious cooking, good looks and kind manner. This meal made Jiang Yuwei's status in the hearts of the villagers soar.

After seeing everyone off, Aunt Zhou and Ning Qiu stayed behind to help clean up the dishes. Jiang Yuwei divided the remaining food into three portions, keeping one for herself and giving one to Aunt Zhou and Ning Qiu to take home as a thank you gift.

After Jiang Yuwei finished packing, she was so tired that she lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and didn't want to move. Ning Wan also obediently lay down next to her without saying a word.

Jiang Yuwei smiled and touched Ning Wan's face, asking with concern:

"Wan'er, does your face still hurt?"

Ning Wan obediently shook her head and said:

"Mother, it doesn't hurt anymore. Mother helped Wan'er teach the bad guys a lesson. Next time, Wan'er will also learn from Mother and teach the bad guys a lesson."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuwei nodded with great satisfaction and said:

"Wan'er, you've been busy all day. I'll give you a bath later and you can go to sleep first. Tomorrow I'll take you to the market, okay?"

Upon hearing that she could go to the market, Ning Wan happily climbed out of bed and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, Mother, Wan'er will go to the market with you tomorrow."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly got up to help Ning Wan take a bath and coax her to sleep. Only then did she take a bath in her space and take out the crayfish and wild eggs she had stored there. Tonight, she planned to stew and marinate the crayfish and make the wild eggs into preserved eggs so she could take them to the market to sell next time.
