I heard that she was having a very bad time at her parents' home. She couldn't get enough to eat, she had to do all the work, and she couldn't even sleep in the main room.
Even though she was being mistreated like this, her heart still leaned towards her maternal family.
It's a mystery how the Li brothers came up with those words when this woman, who barely gets any food and takes on all the housework, could say something like that.
"You, you all..." Han Qiang was so angry he couldn't speak. Among the onlookers were villagers, some of whom couldn't stand it any longer:
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone visiting their parents' home and then having to beg for food at their husband's home!"
"It's as if Li Aidi does absolutely nothing at home!"
"You were the ones who hurt someone that day, and now you dare to deny it?"
"The Li brothers are too arrogant. Do they think there's no one in our Tiger Tooth Village?"
The three Li brothers were extremely robust, all three being very tall. When they stood in front of people, they looked like three small mountains, and most people wouldn't want to be their enemy.
"What's wrong with us? We're just telling the truth!"
"Han Qiang, we won't leave without 500 jin of grain."
"Besides, we're not asking for food for ourselves. If we take it back, won't it just go to your wife to eat?"
...
"Heh, I don't want this wife anymore. I, Han Qiang, declare that from this moment on, I sever all ties with Li Aidi. From now on, her life or death is none of my concern. Do whatever you want with her!"
Han Qiang was really determined this time. As for his sons, they were all hiding at home. It wasn't appropriate for them to get involved in their elders' affairs for the time being.
However, if the Li family makes a move, they will rush out.
When they finally heard Han Qiang say he was going to divorce Li Aidi, everyone had mixed feelings. No matter what kind of woman she was, she was still their mother.
"Sever ties? Han Qiang, you've got a good plan. We've been supporting you for months, and you're only now saying you want to sever ties with her? Fine, but without a thousand taels of grain, you're dreaming!"
The eldest son of the Li family spoke directly to Han Qiang's face, his spittle carrying a foul stench that almost made Han Qiang faint.
"That's right, a thousand taels of grain, not a single penny less!"
The second son of the Li family stepped forward, revealing his calf-thick arms, and glared fiercely at Han Qiang.
"Hmph, no one in this world dares to take advantage of our family!"
Not to be outdone, the third son of the Li family stood beside his two older brothers.
Looking at the three brothers who were acting like three oxen, Han Qiang swallowed hard.
Even though only three people have come, he can't beat them.
"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone running back to their parents' home and then going back to their husband's home to ask for food."
Just as Han Qiang hesitated, a clear, melodious voice rang out, like heavenly music.
Seeing Han Luoxue slowly approaching, Han Yuchen hurriedly came out of the room and ran to Han Luoxue's side in a few steps.
The three Li brothers looked like troublemakers, so he had to stand by Xue'er's side to protect her safety at all times.
Han Luoxue patted Han Yuchen's hand, indicating that he was alright.
She turned to look at the villagers watching, her smile gentle: "Are all the people in our Hutouya Village cowards? The Li family has come to bully us, how can we tolerate it? If everyone were like Li Aidi, people from other villages would think our village is easy to bully."
"Tonight I'm going to slaughter a pig and a sheep at home for a big feast. Everyone, please get these three things out of the house so we can all have a big meal together, okay?"
Everyone was somewhat tempted by what Han Luoxue said at the beginning.
The Li brothers weren't just humiliating Han Qiang; they were humiliating everyone in their village as well.
Han Luoxue's next sentence made everyone gasp in surprise: they hadn't had pork or mutton in a long time.
Thanks to Han Luoxue's seedlings, the villagers are no longer hungry. But there's still no meat to eat. There are tigers in the mountains behind the village, and not many wild animals in the surrounding area. In the past, only Han Mingyuan and Han Yuchen were able to hunt anything.
The last time we ate meat was at Han Luoxue's house, and today she's going to slaughter pigs and sheep again, everyone's eyes are practically glowing with excitement.
"Who are those three? Let's all attack together!"
It's unclear who shouted first, but everyone in the crowd rushed forward.
The three Li brothers were stunned. They hadn't expected that before Han Qiang's family had even made a move, all the villagers of Hutouya Village had already mobilized.
Seeing the densely packed crowd rushing towards them, how could the three brothers dare to fight back?
After taking a few blows, they clenched their hammer-like fists and were about to swing them at the nearest person when a sharp pain shot through their calves. The three of them winced in pain and fell to the ground with a thud.
This made things much easier for everyone. They punched and kicked them, and dozens of people surrounded them and gave them a good beating.
When those in front get tired and step down, someone else will naturally take their place.
Only when the three of them fell silent and passed out did everyone reluctantly stop.
"Excellent, excellent! This is the true spirit of the people of Tiger Head Cliff Village!"
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen hadn't made a move until they saw the three Li brothers, who were in a sorry state and covered in blood, and only then did the resentment in her heart dissipate somewhat.
"Let's throw them out of the village, then we'll slaughter pigs and sheep and eat meat!"
"Oh, time to eat meat!"
The adults could still hold back, but the children jumped for joy at the mention of meat. Seeing their lively antics, Han Luoxue couldn't help but laugh.
This baby is so sweet. I wonder if the one in my belly will be just as mischievous in the future? Actually, she doesn't mind if the baby is mischievous. As long as the baby is healthy and safe, what's wrong with the baby being a little naughty?
Several adults stepped forward and dragged the three Li brothers out like dead dogs.
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen returned home first. She took out a large fat pig and six fat sheep from her spatial storage, which should be enough for them to eat.
When the villagers came over and saw the fat pigs and sheep, their mouths watered.
Han Luoxue didn't need to do anything after that; the men, some of whom were skilled at slaughtering pigs and sheep, were sharpening their knives.
The others were helping out; the women and children weren't idle either. They lifted the large iron pot from their house and skillfully set it up in Han Mingyuan's yard.
The children each carried a bundle of firewood. Han Luoxue had already provided meat, so they felt embarrassed to ask Han Luoxue's family to pay for the rest.
The courtyard suddenly became lively. Inside the room, Han Mingyuan and Yunniang looked at the bustling crowd outside and sighed, "The last time it was this lively was when they got married."
Unfortunately, the wedding was not perfect; before they even consummated their marriage, the two ran away together.
It's all that damned Crown Prince's fault. Of all people to fall for, why did he have to set his sights on Xue'er?
"It's been a long time since our house has been this lively. I feel more comfortable when it's lively."
Yunniang also remarked with emotion.
"Brother Yuan, is your leg really not hurting anymore?"
After taking the pills given to him by Han Luoxue, Han Mingyuan felt no pain in his legs in just two days, which he found incredible.
He knew this thing belonged to Han Luoxue's space, which indirectly demonstrated the extraordinary nature of that space.
Even so, Han Mingyuan felt even more uneasy.
