The voice was sharp and piercing, clearly belonging to an elderly woman in her sixties or seventies.
When she realized someone was causing trouble at her home, Fu Wan's face immediately darkened, and she hurried home in a few quick steps.
The commotion was so loud that everyone heard it. Soon, the neighbors who were sitting under the tree mending their fishing nets all came over to see who was causing trouble at Fu Wan's house.
"Who is this old woman? Why is she running around Fu Lao's house all this time? She says she's looking for her nephew, but which nephew?"
"Oh my, you don't recognize this old woman? She's Fu Laoda's father's sister. In terms of seniority, she's Fu Laoda's aunt."
"So, you mean the nephew you're referring to is Elder Fu, the eldest nephew?"
The older women chatted amongst themselves, and Fu Wan understood the identity of the visitor even before she entered the house.
"Aunties, make way, I'm going in to take a look."
Upon seeing that it was Fu Wan, the aunties hurriedly greeted her.
"Oh dear, Wan'er's back. Hurry up and go in to see her. Your mother is too kind-hearted; how could she let that old hag into the yard? If you ask me, she should just throw her out with a broom!"
After saying this, the old woman became a little agitated and spat twice into her hand, then went to find a broom.
This woman was Aunt Li from the alley opposite Fu Wan's house. She was Fu Xiaochuan's biological mother. The fish that Fu Xiaochuan brought back last night allowed the whole family to have a good meal.
Fu Wan smiled at her, "No need, Auntie. My mother can take care of me. I'll go in first and see what's going on. We can't let others say that our Fu Family Village is bullying people, can we?"
"Yes, yes, you educated people know what's going on. You go in first, we'll keep watch outside for you!"
Aunt Li nodded repeatedly, and the commotion at the door naturally attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard. As soon as Fu Wan pushed open the courtyard gate, she met the old woman's eyes.
How to describe those eyes? They were triangular with a lot of white showing, and the eyebrows were straight. They looked like a vengeful ghost from a TV show.
When Fu Wan pushed the door open and came in, Fu Xiulian looked Fu Wan up and down, her eyes filled with disgust that was practically overflowing.
"You're my divorced grandniece who came home?"
Fu Wan chuckled, "Sorry, no. You've mistaken me for someone else. Get out of here before I lose my temper."
Ye Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Wan return.
It's not that Ye Xiaocui isn't feisty, but this old woman is Fu Laoda's blood relative. They haven't seen each other for decades, and she suddenly came over today, starting to curse as soon as she entered the door.
Ye Xiaocui was busy holding the two children, so she let the old woman do whatever she wanted for a while.
"Mom, this person is a bad person!"
Fu Ling grabbed Fu Wan's leg and made a face at Fu Xiulian.
Fu Xiulian initially thought she had mistaken someone for someone else, and that Fu Wan was not from this family.
Seeing those two good-for-nothings holding Fu Wan on either side, they immediately started cursing again.
"You're a family of good-for-nothings! These days, if you get divorced, you should hang yourself with a rope. How dare you even come home... Ah, what are you doing!"
Fu Wan had been doing well lately and was in a good mood. She didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean she was afraid of trouble.
Aunt Li is right, people like that should be chased out with a broom!
Fu Xiulian was stunned as she was forced to retreat by Fu Wan's two brooms. How dare the daughter of the Fu family dare to hit her elder?
She wasn't one to be trifled with either, and casually reached out to grab the spirit beside her. If she couldn't handle the big ones, couldn't she handle the small ones?
Caught off guard, Fu Ling was pulled over by her hand.
"Don't move! I'm looking for Boss Fu. If you try to kick me out, I'll hit this good-for-nothing with the broom first... Aaaaaah!"
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Ling bit Fu Xiulian's hand hard.
Fu Xiulian released her grip in pain, and Fu Ling instantly ran behind Fu Wan.
Hmph, she hates it when people call her a money-loser!
"You child, why do you bite everything? Doesn't your tooth hurt? Isn't your mouth dirty?"
Fu Wan hurriedly checked Fu Ling's mouth; the corners of her mouth, which had been a little better this morning, were now cracked again.
Fu Ling spat twice, then shook her head after hearing Fu Wan's question.
"It doesn't hurt, Mom. I'll rinse my mouth later and it won't be dirty!"
After saying that, she went to the water vat next to her to scoop water to rinse her mouth. The sound of her spitting really broke Fu Xiulian's guard.
"You ill-mannered good-for-nothings! You bit me, and you're not leaving today until you pay me back!"
After saying that, she didn't mind the dirt and sat down on the ground.
"Mingzhu, take Lingling inside."
That old hag's curses are so foul; the children staying here are just polluting their ears.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mingzhu obediently pulled Fu Ling into the house. Fu Ling's eyes darted around, and she quickly hid by the window to look outside.
She had to keep an eye on this old woman and not let her bully her mother and grandmother!
With the child gone, Ye Xiaocui felt much more relaxed.
She rolled up her sleeves and immediately spat at Fu Xiulian.
"Pah! Everyone, be the judge! What kind of relative hasn't visited in decades and then comes up to ask my family for a loan of five hundred yuan!"
“I told her I had no money, and she started pointing her finger at me and yelling at me. If the kids weren’t here, I would have kicked you out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wangcai, who was standing nearby, started barking loudly.
"Wow, five hundred yuan? You really dare to ask for that much!"
Aunt Li clicked her tongue in admiration, saying that she would kowtow to anyone who could lend her fifty yuan, let alone five hundred.
"Yeah, five hundred yuan, why don't you just rob someone on the main road?"
"Hey, this old woman's face is thicker than the wooden planks of a latrine!"
Hearing these people's comments, Fu Xiulian couldn't help but shout out in anger.
“I asked your family for five hundred, which means I know you have it. Ye Xiaocui, you good-for-nothing, you can’t make decisions on your own. I’ll wait for my nephew to come back and make him divorce you!”
After saying that, Fu Xiulian greedily looked around at the appliances in the main house. Such a big TV set! Old Mrs. Wang really didn't lie to her!
At this moment, Old Lady Wang and Wang Zhaodi were hiding behind the crowd watching the show. When they saw Ye Xiaocui being scolded, Wang Zhaodi laughed so hard her mouth almost split open.
Unfortunately, the next second, Fu Wan swept the broom over again, saying, "You good-for-nothing, you good-for-nothing, I really can't stand your foul mouth."
Listen carefully, I'm in charge of the money in this household. I'd rather throw it into the sea than give you a single penny!
After he finished speaking, Fu Laoda's shout came from the crowd again.
"What happened? Everyone, please let me in first!"
Upon hearing Fu Laoda's voice, Fu Xiulian immediately jumped up from the ground.
Fu Laoda finally squeezed into the yard and saw Fu Wan holding a broom, while his wife rolled her eyes at him.
No, what did he do wrong?
"Hey, Gouwa, you're finally back! Look at your wife and daughter, they're always bullying this old woman!"
Old Fu was completely baffled for a long time. "You are...?"
"Gouwa, it's your auntie!"
"Auntie? You're not dead yet!"
