These two people didn't usually enslave or bully the original owner's family, so it's understandable that they didn't have the chance. But since they've given us this opportunity for free, we might as well take advantage of it.
When Fang Jie arrived with two elders from his clan and the elders from his branch of the family, this was the scene of the chaotic battle.
Upon seeing this, Fang Jie disregarded everything else and, limping, tried to rush over to help Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Yan, shouting, "You've gone too far!"
"Stop it, all of you!"
The three elders who came with him grabbed Fang Jie, fearing that his injured feet would be crippled in the melee.
The other two, one grabbed Uncle Fang and the other grabbed Old Lady Fang.
Fang Yan noticed that Zhu Xiuhua was too thin and weak, and couldn't beat Fang's eldest aunt. She was hit by her several times.
She was extremely protective of her own, and while Uncle Fang was being held back, she took advantage of the situation and secretly tripped Fang's aunt.
"Hey! You damn woman, are you blind? Are you trying to crush me? Get up right now!"
Because of Fang Yan's mischief, Fang's eldest aunt, a very large woman, fell straight down on Fang's uncle.
Feeling as if a pig was pressing down on him, Uncle Fang immediately started cursing in pain.
This pressure may not cause external injuries, but internal injuries are inevitable.
In this battle, we suffered a minor loss, but the enemy was more seriously injured.
Only then did Fang Yan feel a little more at ease. She went along with the wishes of the two elders, called a truce, and helped Zhu Xiuhua up.
"Uncle Wang, you've come at the right time! Look at her, her married granddaughter dares to come back to her parents' home and beat me, her grandmother! Tell me, shouldn't such an unfilial granddaughter be beaten to death?!"
Even though she was being pulled away, Grandma Fang was still furious and kept glaring at Fang Yan, hurling insults at her.
Then her elder, Uncle Wang, pulled her aside, let go of her hand, glanced at her quietly, and said in a calm tone, "Kill him, then the three of you can go in together with the black chicken. Maybe the whole family can go and be shot together."
"puff……"
The old man was quite adorable, and Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Uncle Wang is the patriarch of the Fang family and has a high reputation. Even the shrewish Old Madam Fang was scolded like a grandson and didn't dare to utter a word.
Hearing the laughter, Uncle Wang turned around and glared at her, "Don't laugh either. It's not something to be proud of for a married woman to come back to her parents' home and beat up her elders."
“Uncle, you’re wrong. I didn’t go back to my parents’ home to beat up my elders. Instead, my parents’ elders wanted to beat me to death on behalf of my father. I was acting in self-defense. The three of them were bullying me, and my mother was afraid I would suffer, so she helped me. Is it wrong to act in self-defense?”
Fang Yan didn't really know how to address the person in front of her, but considering her seniority, calling him "uncle" was definitely not appropriate.
She simply followed the local custom of addressing older men in Gouzi Village as "Uncle."
Uncle Wang's eyes were like torches as he stared at her intently for a few moments. "Are you the girl from the second son's family?"
How come he remembered that the girl from the second son's family was not very talkative and would hide when she saw people?
"Yes, I've changed my name to Fang Yan now," Fang Yan replied confidently.
Uncle Wang stared intently for a moment, then suddenly nodded.
Just when Fang Yan thought he would say something more to her, he turned to Uncle Fang and asked, "Uncle Fang, tell me what's going on?"
Uncle Fang stammered, making fun of his niece. If this got out, his reputation would be ruined.
“Uncle Awang, you must give us justice!” Fang’s aunt, who had been married to Fang’s uncle for over twenty years, immediately knew that he was hesitant to speak when she saw him stammering. She jumped in and said, “This nemesis has ruined my son’s life. We called her back and only said a few words to her, but she tried to hit my mother-in-law. That’s why I thought of teaching my second brother how to be filial to his elders.”
"Oh, then tell me, how did I beat your mother-in-law?" Fang Yan said with a cold smile and a sarcastic tone.
"How did you hit me?" Old Mrs. Fang jumped out. "I told your brother to call you, and you dawdled outside until what time did you finally come? And you came empty-handed, so what if I hit you with a broom? I'm your grandmother, and you don't respect me, so can't I hit you?"
"Haven't we been filial enough over the years?"
Fang Yan's anger flared up, and she pushed Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie in front of the old lady Fang. "Open your eyes and take a good look. Over the years, my mother and brother have been exhausted in order to take care of you and your eldest son and his wife."
Grandma Fang was heartless. Looking at Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie, who were as thin as skeletons, she felt no pity or guilt whatsoever. "I am their elder, and they should be filial to me!"
That's true. If she felt any remorse or guilt, she wouldn't have treated Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie so badly.
“You are only the elder of your eldest son and daughter-in-law, not the elder of my mother and brother!”
Grandma Fang wanted to speak, but Fang Yan didn't give her a chance. She looked directly at the three elders that Fang Jie had invited and said, "My three uncles, fingers are not all the same length, and people's hearts are biased. I can understand that. My father died young, but I have to say, he was lucky."
For the past twenty-odd years, my mother and brother have practically risked their lives to care for their father's mother. After so many years of this, they've almost repaid the debt of gratitude they owed my father for giving birth to them.
Since my grandmother is so biased towards her eldest son, I think from now on, she should live with her eldest son, and our branch of the family can live separately.
"What!"
Grandma Fang was surprised that Fang Yan actually wanted to help the second branch of the family divide the property. "You want to divide the property?"
“Yes!” Fang Jie answered loudly and firmly.
He dreamed of separating from the family.
This place was a nightmare for him, not home.
Grandma Fang went to see Zhu Xiuhua again, "You jinx, you want to separate the family too?"
Ever since the original owner's father passed away, she has always called Zhu Xiuhua that.
Zhu Xiuhua was always afraid of this mother-in-law and never dared to look her in the eye before.
With so many people around today, she finally mustered up her courage, met Old Mrs. Fang's murderous gaze, and nodded firmly, "Yes, we need to separate the family."
"I disagree!" Grandma Fang objected immediately without even thinking.
If the second wife and her son separate, who will take care of her in the future?
Uncle Fang and his wife didn't want to separate the family property. With so much land, they relied entirely on Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie, these two animals, to manage it. They ate little but did a lot, and also took care of the household chores.
If they are separated from the workforce, where will they find such capable livestock?
That's right, they've always treated Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie like livestock.
But then he thought of something else...
