Lin Jiujiu didn't have the same good temper as the original owner of the body, and she didn't just accept things passively because Zhao was an elder.
She gave Zhao no room to maneuver, grabbing Zhao's wrist with one hand.
With a "snap," it was snapped in two.
She couldn't even remember how many claws she'd broken off today, the ones that dared to reach out at her. These people really never learn their lesson.
Ah~
Zhao screamed in pain, but reacted quickly, reaching out her other hand to grab her.
Lin Jiujiu didn't tolerate her. She directly snapped Zhao's other hand as well, and then kicked Zhao's knee.
Zhao then knelt before her in full view of everyone.
When Xiao Zhao saw her mother-in-law being beaten, she immediately came to help, but before she could even pounce on her, Lin Jiujiu did the same thing to her.
On the contrary, Wang Shi was unhurried, and even had a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. Before she even got to Lin Jiujiu, she suddenly tripped and fell flat on her face.
It was as if Lin Jiujiu had tricked him, and to make matters worse, he fell right onto Xiao Zhaoshi.
He himself was fine, but he pushed the person who was about to get up back to the ground.
Lin Jiujiu watched this scene but did not expose her.
After all, the original owner of this body was not familiar with this person in her memories. The Wang family was well-off, but because Xiao Changjiang was the second son, he was neither the eldest nor the youngest and therefore not favored by Zhao.
When Wang first married into the family, she suffered a lot at Zhao's hands and even lost a child.
Her family wasn't going to back down either; after the commotion, Wang moved back to her parents' home.
Xiao Changjiang would only come back every few days, and Zhao Shi didn't want to waste money on her unfavored second son to remarry. In addition, with Lin Jiujiu doing hard labor, she didn't divorce her and didn't care much about her.
They were actually quite happy that she was staying at her parents' house, as it would save them some food rations.
It wasn't until Lin Jiujiu was moved out with her son that Zhao Shi had Xiao Changjiang bring her back.
This also meant that the original owner of this body didn't have much interaction with the couple.
If they know what's good for them and don't cause her trouble, Lin Jiujiu won't bother with them.
Upon seeing Zhao Shi being beaten, Xiao Tianshui immediately adopted the airs of a scholar and began to reprimand her.
"Lin, stop now! Is this how you treat your elders?"
Lin Jiujiu glanced at him lazily.
He thought he was some kind of big shot, daring to lecture her.
While at the Xiao family, Xiao Changhe openly laid hands on the original owner of this body, but he also humiliated her behind her back.
He was even worse than Xiao Changhe. Relying on his status as a scholar, he repeatedly seduced the original owner of the body. After Xiao Zhao discovered this, he was the first to falsely accuse the original owner of seducing men.
A man who is almost forty years old has taken the imperial examinations for over twenty years and has not even passed the preliminary examination. He still has the nerve to call himself a scholar.
He would stay at home all day pretending to be engrossed in a book, and then Zhao would present him with all the good things.
She was convinced that this son would bring her honor and that he would pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, allowing her to enjoy a life of comfort.
Little did he know that if he were truly capable of passing the exam, he would have done so long ago. Xiao Tianyi passed the county-level exam at the tender age of fifteen, while Xiao Tianshui was already approaching forty.
He once even attributed his repeated failures to his own name.
He felt that the name Xiao Dahai, which his parents had given him, was unlucky for him, so he changed his name to Xiao Tianshui after Xiao Tianyi passed the imperial examination.
If someone didn't know the truth, they would think that Xiao Tianyi was actually his brother.
When Xiao Tianyi was at home, the villagers liked to ask him for help with all kinds of matters, big and small, saying that they wanted to absorb some of the scholar's refined air.
No one paid any attention to Xiao Tianshui, but Xiao Tianyi was sent to perform corvée labor, which made this self-proclaimed scholar spur his spirits on.
Xiao Tianyi already held official titles, while Xiao Tianjue was still an infant and originally had no obligation to perform corvée labor.
However, these people, using the excuse that their parents had died early and that Xiao Tianjue was still young and needed someone to take care of him, forcibly registered their household registration with them.
Not only did they seize the land and property left by Xiao Tianyi's parents, they also imposed the corvée labor that should have fallen on them onto Xiao Tianyi.
Lin Jiujiu didn't even bother to give Xiao Tianshui a glance.
The best response to his scolding is to slap him across the face.
He slapped the person away, sending them flying to the ground, and then gave them a cold look.
"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again, believe me, I'll cripple you and make sure you can never take the imperial examinations again."
As Lin Jiujiu spoke, she gave him a cold glance at his right hand, the one holding the pen.
When Xiao Tianshui saw where her gaze fell, he was so frightened that he trembled and quickly hid his hands behind his back.
Seeing his lack of ambition, Lin Jiujiu felt it was pointless; he had no integrity whatsoever as a scholar.
Lin Jiujiu showed no sign of concealing her disdain, but Xiao Tianshui was furious inside but had no way to do anything about it.
Lin Jiujiu had a good grasp of Xiao Tianshui's weakness.
She had failed the county examination more than ten times, and she didn't know where Xiao Tianshui got his confidence from. He always felt that he would definitely pass the county examination next time.
To prevent someone like that from ever taking the imperial examinations again would be worse than taking his life.
Xiao Tianshui had his reservations, but Xiao Zhaoshi didn't think so much about it.
Seeing her man being beaten, she rushed towards Lin Jiujiu without thinking.
Lin Xiaomei saw that Xiao Zhao was trying to ambush her second sister, and she couldn't let that happen.
Without saying a word, he rushed out of the house and pounced on Xiao Zhao.
Having traversed so many dimensions, Lin Jiujiu's senses were far more acute than those of ordinary people, and she was already prepared the moment Xiao Zhao pounced on her.
What she didn't expect was that Lin Xiaomei would suddenly rush over.
Lin Jiujiu grabbed Lin Xiaomei, who was rushing past her, and kicked Xiao Zhao Shi away.
She didn't know how these people were thinking; so many men were no match for her.
How could they possibly think they could hurt her?
Could it be that the original owner was too easy to talk to and let them bully her in the past, which has made these people develop a conditioned reflex, and they feel from the bottom of their hearts that they will not fight back against them?
But isn't this a bit too short-sighted, considering there are still several people lying in the yard who haven't gotten up yet?
Could it be that these people not only lack brains, but also have poor eyesight?
After knocking Xiao Zhao down, Lin Jiujiu looked at Lin Xiaomei with a serious expression.
"Who let you out? Go back inside now."
An unmarried girl dares to fight with someone; does she think her reputation is too good?
I don't care that I'll leave sooner or later, but Lin Xiaomei is a native of this world and will stay here for the rest of her life.
Her reputation is ruined; who would dare marry her in the future?
Even if she had the ability to give the Lin family a business that would ensure she would never have to worry about food or drink even if she never married, what if she met someone she liked in the future?
Lin Xiaomei was scolded by Lin Jiujiu. She wanted to defend herself, but when she saw her second sister's unyielding gaze, she instantly backed down.
