Original text^. @From TaDu Novels.
Everyone thought that little Fu Man'er would definitely be picked up by Old Lady Liu, but who knew that Fu Man'er, waving her little fists, would actually beat Old Lady Liu into retreat.
They shouted along with the donkey, "Ah, ah, ah!"
Liu Fang snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled Fu Man'er back. To lay a hand on an elder was a grave act of filial impiety. She herself was no big deal, but she didn't want young Fu Man'er to be talked about by others.
“Mother, let’s go home. We shouldn’t stay here. The people here are all bad. They cut my hand and made it bleed, beat me, and called me a cheap commodity.”
After saying this long speech, Fu Man'er's eyes turned red, but she held back her tears. It was heartbreaking to see this mother and daughter like this.
Someone said, "The Liu family, their daughter just came back for a visit and everything was peaceful and harmonious. Why make such a fuss?"
They've been watching the Liu family's affairs for years, and they're somewhat disgusted by Old Lady Liu's actions, but since they see each other all the time, they can't say it directly.
"You think you can just leave? This brat hit me, and you think you can just leave?" Old Mrs. Liu's legs ached, and she shouted at the top of her lungs when she heard them say they were leaving.
But no one took it seriously, saying, "She's just a little girl, how much strength could she possibly have? Don't worry about it."
Grandma Liu was so angry that she pulled up her trouser leg. It hurt so much, her leg must be bruised. "I'm in so much pain, and you still say you didn't hit me hard."

All eyes were on her legs. Fu Man'er's ears twitched, and she looked over a little guiltily, after all, she had just used force.
Huh, there's nothing there, just two withered legs like tree branches.
The hesitant expressions on everyone's faces puzzled Old Lady Liu. She looked down and exclaimed, "Oh dear, where's my injury? Why isn't it there?"
Fu Man'er chuckled secretly. Liu Fang gave her a cold look and said, "Mother, I'm going back." Her voice was indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
"You dare? This isn't over yet. You dare go back? If you have the guts, don't come back." Old Mrs. Liu tried to stop them, but her legs hurt terribly with every movement.
Liu Fang, who had just reached the door, suddenly stopped. Old Mrs. Liu thought that her words had suppressed Liu Fang, since Liu Fang would always soften up when she said such harsh words before.
Liu Fang turned around and came in again, but she went straight to the Liu family's well, bent down, and lifted the fish up.
Liu Fu, who was still howling, shouted even louder when he saw the fish being taken away, "Fish, fish, my big fish!"
Wu Xiaohua and Grandma Liu were both stunned; the fish that had been delivered had actually been taken away again.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the fish back." Old Mrs. Liu couldn't move, so she had to send her daughter-in-law. There was no reason to take back what belonged to the Liu family.

As Wu Xiaohua responded, she got up to chase after him, but as soon as she took a step, she heard a crack and fell to the ground. "My foot!"
The onlookers rushed over to check on her. Wu Xiaohua had sprained her ankle; it was red and swollen, and she couldn't walk.
Liu Fang, carrying Fu Man'er, quickened her pace. She knew they would definitely chase after her for the fish, but even after they had walked out of the path, she looked back and saw that no one was coming after them.
"Mother," Fu Man'er called softly, looking timidly at Liu Fang, as if she knew she had gotten into trouble.
Liu Fang picked up the fish and waved it at her, saying, "Let's go home, Mom will make you some delicious fish."
"Okay, Man'er wants to eat, wants to eat the fish that Mother makes." She touched her flat little belly; she hadn't dared to eat too much at noon because she wanted to eat fish.
Liu Fang brought the fish back intact. Both Grandma Xu and Ma Hong guessed that something must have happened. Grandma Xu was calm, but Ma Hong was not.
She chased after Liu Fang to ask what was going on, but Liu Fang quickly dismissed her with a few words and sent her off to do something. She quickly scraped the fish scales with a knife, but halfway through, she realized something was wrong. Wasn't she supposed to be asking her sister-in-law about something? Why was she here cleaning fish?
As soon as Liu Fang returned, she started doing things. She seemed unwilling to talk about what happened when she went back to her parents' home. Old Mrs. Xu called Fu Man'er and took her inside.
Fu Man'er was led in by Xu Yi. "Alright, come in with me." Old Mrs. Xu knew that her eldest grandson also wanted to know what had happened today.

The events that happened at Lao Liu's house weren't too complicated. Fu Man'er managed to finish recounting the story, albeit haltingly. Xu Yi's expression grew increasingly grim, and finally, with a dark face, he stood up and headed out.
"Stop right there!" Old Mrs. Xu shouted at him.
"Grandma!" Xu Yi clenched his fists tightly.
"What are you going to do? Go to your maternal grandmother's house and beat up your maternal grandmother, your aunt, or your cousin?" Old Mrs. Xu knew that her eldest grandson was always a man of his own mind and would hold a grudge. Since Old Mrs. Liu had already made a move, she was bound to go to their house and cause a scene.
Xu Yi didn't speak, but he was very angry, and perhaps that was really what he was thinking.
“Those are your maternal grandmother and aunt, they are your elders. What kind of behavior is it if you lay a hand on your elders?” Seeing that he was standing still, Old Mrs. Xu said again.
Since ancient times, filial piety has been a heavy burden; it can be crushing. Otherwise, Liu Fang wouldn't have tolerated them.
Xu Yi was quick-witted and knew what his grandmother was worried about. He made a scene and vented his anger, but it also made his mother get caught up in gossip.
He reluctantly walked back, sat down next to Fu Man'er with his head down, and Old Mrs. Xu sighed. The Liu family was going too far.
Fu Man'er looked at her grandmother and then at her brother. She didn't quite understand what they were saying. Seeing that her brother was about to go out and hit someone, she wanted to go out and help him, but then her brother came back, and her little bottom, which had been raised, went down again.
"Man'er." Grandma Xu picked her up and brought her to the opposite side. It was a good thing that the child could protect her mother, but she was still too young. There were some things she needed to talk to her about.
When Xu Yi led his younger sister out, Fu Man'er yawned. Her grandmother had said a lot, and she remembered it, yet it seemed like she couldn't quite recall it.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the room, they smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. Liu Fang was already cooking fish. The fish was very big, and she was making soup with half of it and braising the other half.
Fu Man'er inhaled the aroma deeply and ran off to the kitchen.
Xu Yi walked around the yard. He seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what it was.
