Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong froze, standing still.

The two glanced to the side and saw two bowls of steaming water on Lu's tray.

Jiang Wanwan said coldly, "Didn't you two uncles insist on coming into our house to ask for water? My mother went to great lengths to boil this water, you two can only leave after you finish drinking it."

Her words were full of veiled threats.

“That’s right, you can only leave after you finish drinking!” Old Mrs. Jiang brandished the wood-chopping knife in her hand, staring sharply at the two of them.

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong looked at the Jiang family members with cold sweat dripping down their backs. They had no doubt that if they didn't finish that bowl of water today, they would never be able to leave the Jiang family home unscathed.

"Drink, let's drink!" Jiang Dali said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Wanwan slowly approached the two, her expression shifting slightly, a hint of threat in her voice, "Well, you've been here long enough. You'd better hurry up and finish your drink and leave, or I can't guarantee what might happen to the machete in my grandma's hand..."

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong stared at her, dumbfounded.

This water is still steaming hot. If we let them drink it like this, they'll be scalded to death!

That wretched girl Jiang Wanwan, how could she be so vicious!

Just as they were about to argue, the old lady Jiang, standing in front of them, said threateningly, "Hmm? Why don't you hurry up and do as my granddaughter says?"

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong turned around and saw Old Lady Jiang standing in front of them, staring at them intently. She was also brandishing the sharp wood-chopping knife in her hand, the threat of which was very obvious.

"Wan girl, this water is so hot, can you wait until it cools down before drinking it?" Jiang Dali said with a fawning smile.

“Yes, the water is so hot, we’d definitely get burned to death if we drank it.” Jiang Dayong nodded vigorously.

Jiang Wanwan sneered. She had already checked the temperature of the two bowls of water, which was only around 70 or 80 degrees Celsius. At most, it would scald them until their mouths were full of blisters, not kill them so easily.

"Oh, since neither of you uncles wants to drink, let's sit back down and continue our chat." Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Dayong and the other man with a half-smile, then gave Jiang He and the others a meaningful look.

Jiang He and the others glared fiercely at the two men, some rolling up their sleeves, others clenching their fists, looking ready to fight.

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong were both sweating profusely, facing a tigress in front and a pack of wolves behind.

It seems that no matter what, they will all suffer losses.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong exchanged a glance and then quickly walked towards where Lu was.

At this moment, two bowls of steaming water were placed on the tray, with wisps of steam rising up.

Without further hesitation, the two reached out and steadily picked up a bowl. The scalding heat of the water spread through the bowl, instantly reaching their palms. They gritted their teeth, tilted their heads back, and gulped down the hot water.

"hiss--"

As the scalding hot water entered my throat, an indescribable, excruciating pain immediately spread between my mouth and throat.

It felt like countless tiny needles were piercing my soft mouth and throat.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of heat, as if it could burn up my internal organs, rushed straight down to my abdomen.

It felt as if a piece of red-hot charcoal had been thrown into their stomachs; their intestines seemed to be rapidly contracting and writhing in pain under the intense heat, as if they were about to be completely scalded to death in the next second.

Jiang Dali and Jiang Dayong's faces contorted instantly, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily.

This kind of pain is truly unbearable.

Jiang Wanwan smiled with satisfaction, "Goodbye, uncles."
