However, the Guo brothers were in a very complicated mood at this time. They had been away for more than a month and didn't know how their wives and children were doing at home. At this moment, they wished they could grow wings and fly to their wives and children immediately!

The group walked through the crowded streets and headed towards the house they rented.

When everyone arrived in front of the house with the goods, they saw a group of people gathered outside the courtyard watching the excitement.

All I could hear was a woman in the courtyard cursing and hurling insults: "What a shameless bastard! How dare you steal my land? Do you think you can bully me because I'm old?"

Guo's wife was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Auntie, I'm not a land thief. I saw that no one was cultivating that land, so I reclaimed it to grow vegetables!" She just felt it was a pity that there was a small piece of vacant land in front of the door, so she cleaned it up and planted some vegetables. Unexpectedly, she was wrongly accused of being a land thief.

The old woman cursed and said, "This is my land. I can use it as I please. Who gave you permission to touch it? You must pay me today. Do you think you can use my land for free?"

Mrs. Guo said anxiously, "Auntie, my family really has no money. Can you please let me return the land to you?"

The old woman raised her voice sharply and said, "You really want to eat for free? If you don't have money, you can use something to pay for it. Don't you have a horse at home?"

The Guo brothers didn't expect to hear such a thing just after they got home. Without caring about anything else, they immediately ran to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw several children surrounding an adult, staring at the old woman with angry expressions.

Suddenly seeing their father appear in the yard, the children rubbed their eyes in disbelief. When they realized they were not mistaken, they shouted in surprise, "Daddy is back!" and ran over and threw themselves into the arms of the Guo brothers.

Guo Dalang bent down, picked up his little girl, and walked towards his mother and wife: "I am an unfilial son. I am sorry to have caused you so much suffering!"

The old lady, who was originally hunched over, couldn't help but tear up when she saw her son coming back. She grabbed her son's arm and murmured, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Guo Dalang ordered the younger ones: "Help grandma back to the house to rest!"

After her son came back, the old lady seemed to have regained her composure and went back to her house with peace of mind!

Seeing that the other party had left her alone, the old woman shouted angrily, "What? Just because your man is back, you can deny your responsibility? You secretly planted other people's vegetable fields, and you think you can just let it go like this?"

"My mother-in-law said this is your land, do you have anything to prove it?" At this time, Li Yan walked out of the crowd.

The old woman saw that the person she was talking about was a young girl and scolded her, "You little bastard! The adults are talking about something, and you, a little girl, have no right to butt in on the matter."

The villagers watching the excitement whispered behind Li Yan, "Young lady, please don't get involved in this mess. This woman is the most unreasonable in our town! She'll argue even when she's being unreasonable!"

Li Yan, however, refused to believe this. "Our dynasty has a law that anyone who leaves their own land uncultivated will be flogged thirty times and fined two taels of silver! You said this land is yours, so why don't we go to the government office now and let the officials make the final decision?"

After hearing what Li Yan said, the old woman felt guilty and stammered, "Don't lie to me!"

Li Yan said in a relaxed tone, "If you don't believe me, let's go to the government office right now. This wasteland was reclaimed by my aunt, and the neighbors can all testify to that. Our dynasty stipulates that whoever reclaims the wasteland owns it. You must have heard of this!"

The old woman looked at Li Yan's confident look and began to back down in her heart. She just took advantage of the fact that all the people in this family were outsiders and there were no men at home, so she found an excuse to come to their house and extort money. Unexpectedly, she really met a tough guy.

The old woman knew that she would not get any benefit today, but she warned: "Okay, you guys are ganging up on me to bully an old woman like me, just wait and see!" After that, she ran away in shame.
