In her dazed state, Ning Daya heard Jiang Yuwei say, "Does she have to suffer such humiliation just because she lost her parents?" She couldn't take it anymore and tears streamed down her face.

Since her parents died, she has never had a good day. She envies her peers who can wear beautiful clothes and play carefree. However, she has endless chores and is constantly scolded. She doesn't know when this will end. If her grandmother beats her to death today, will she be free?

As Ning Daya thought this, her body grew weaker and weaker, and blood continued to flow uncontrollably from her head.

A sharp-eyed villager noticed that Ning Daya's head was bleeding and exclaimed in alarm:

"Good heavens, Granny Sun, you're hitting the child so hard!"

"Yes, what a good child Daya was, look what you've done to her!"

"This...this won't cause anyone to die, will it?!"

Jiang Yuwei stared at the onlookers and shouted:

"Could someone please go and invite Uncle Ning here quickly, and also summon the village head and the clan chief!"

Seeing this, Granny Sun hurriedly called out:

"Let's see who dares to go! Whoever dares to interfere in our family affairs will be responsible for our retirement!"

After saying that, Granny Sun glanced at Jiang Yuwei and grinned slyly:

"Is our eldest daughter going to the market with you to make money? I guess your family is doing well. I'll rely on you from now on, and you'll take care of me in my old age!"

Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and slapped Granny Sun across the face. Granny Sun looked at Jiang Yuwei in shock, clutching her stinging cheek, and said angrily:

"Is there no law anymore?! Is there no justice left?! How dare you hit me in my own yard, you…"

Jiang Yuwei laughed and slapped Granny Sun across the face again:

"Didn't you say you wanted me to take care of you in your old age? My in-laws haven't needed me to take care of them yet, so why should I take care of an old geezer like you? If you really want me to take care of you in your old age, you need to have a suitable reason. For example, I could just beat you into a cripple today, making you paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of your own bodily functions. Then I would naturally take care of you in your old age."

As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she found a wooden stick in the yard and began to beat Granny Sun mercilessly. Granny Sun had never seen anything like this before and took several blows before she remembered to run away.

"Aaaaaah, you're killing me! It hurts! Stop hitting me! You're crazy! Are you insane?! Aaaaah!"

The villagers outside the courtyard were stunned by the scene inside, and no one dared to come forward to stop them. Then, one person secretly slipped out of the crowd.

Seeing Granny Sun's discomfiture, Ning Qiu felt extremely relieved and happily shouted:

"Grandma Sun, you bully my sister Daya every day, you deserve to be beaten to death! Let you taste what it's like to be beaten! Sister Yuwei, put in some effort, I'll take over when you're tired!"

Jiang Yuwei became increasingly engrossed in the beating, chasing Granny Sun all over the yard. Despite her efforts to dodge, Granny Sun couldn't dodge in time and took several more blows, crying out in pain.

"Hey, hey, stop, stop hitting me! You're killing me! I don't need you to support me in my old age! I don't need you to support me in my old age anymore!"

After she finished speaking, Jiang Yuwei struck her hard on the back with the stick again before stopping and laughing:

"You really don't need me to support you in your old age?"

Exhausted and unable to run any further, Granny Sun sat on the ground, panting heavily, and said:

"No, no, I don't need it. I don't need you to support me in my old age. Please spare me!"

Jiang Yuwei threw down the stick in her hand, clapped her hands, and laughed:

"Sigh, I was thinking of crippling you today, then taking Daya to our courtyard to raise. As for you, you can just live out your days alone in this dilapidated little mud house. When I remember you, I'll have Daya bring you some food. If I don't remember you, you can just go hungry at home. If you're really starving, you can just eat shit. It's all your own excrement, so you don't have to be disgusted."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Granny Sun was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly waved her hands, saying:

"No, no need. You should leave now. I don't need you to support me in my old age!"

The villagers had never seen Granny Sun so frightened, and they whispered among themselves:

"I thought this old woman was some kind of formidable figure, but she got beaten so badly by a few sticks that she didn't dare utter a sound."

"Yeah, I think she's just bullying Da Ya because she's capable."

"That's right, I think Daya is an honest girl, this time it can be considered as standing up for Daya."

"That's right! That old hag doesn't know what's good for her. She doesn't even appreciate such an obedient granddaughter. Bah!"

"Hmm, look how you treat people like this after they've lost their parents!"

As everyone was discussing this, they saw the village head being brought in by Xu Qianqian:

"Village head, come quick! Jiang Yuwei is trying to beat Granny Sun to death. She's so vicious!"

Hearing Xu Qianqian's words, Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow. She really was everywhere. Just now, she had asked someone to invite Uncle Ning and the village head, but Xu Qianqian refused. However, when she saw that Jiang Yuwei had hit Granny Sun, she hurriedly went to find the village head. Did she want the village head to punish her?

The village head frowned and said:

"what is going on?"

Granny Sun, who was still slumped on the ground, saw the village head arrive and hurriedly got up to complain. Jiang Yuwei coughed a few times and said:

"Grandma Sun, do you want me to take care of you in your old age?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Sun trembled, turned around abruptly, and waved her hand, saying:

"No, no, no need, no need!"

The village head was completely bewildered. He turned around and stared coldly at Xu Qianqian, asking her with his eyes what was going on.

Seeing this, Xu Qianqian quickly stepped forward to help Granny Sun up, and gently said while holding Granny Sun's hand:

“Grandma Sun, everyone in the village saw Jiang Yuwei hit you just now. I’ve invited the village headman here. If you have any grievances, just tell him. Don’t be afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Sun looked up and met Jiang Yuwei's ambiguous smile. A thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on her back. She quickly said to Xu Qianqian:

"I'm fine. You must have seen wrong. Nobody hit me."

Seeing Granny Sun like this, Xu Qianqian became anxious and directly reached out to pull up Granny Sun's sleeve, saying:

"Where did you get those red marks on your hands and arms?"

Seeing this, Granny Sun quickly withdrew her hand and put her sleeve down. She didn't want to offend Jiang Yuwei anymore. The wicked fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless. In Granny Sun's eyes, Jiang Yuwei was a crazy person who didn't care about her life.

Granny Sun stammered:

"No, it's nothing. It's me. I slipped and fell while weeding in the field. Qianqian, please don't talk nonsense here."

Xu Qianqian was puzzled as to why Granny Sun, despite being beaten, was defending Jiang Yuwei. Growing increasingly anxious, she called out to the surrounding villagers:

"Just now, Jiang Yuwei hit Granny Sun. Did everyone see that? Village head, look! Jiang Yuwei hit Granny Sun with this stick! You must teach her a lesson. How could she beat an elderly woman from the same village like that without any regard for her safety!"

As Xu Qianqian spoke, she picked up the wooden stick that Jiang Yuwei had thrown on the ground in the yard and handed it to the village head, who had a stern face.
