"You little hussy! You whore! I'll teach you a lesson today!" Old Mrs. Zhang got up and rammed into Gu Xin.
Gu Xin stepped back, led her people to her side, and reached out to grab her collar.
Not to be outdone, Old Mrs. Zhang used both hands and feet, and Gu Xin pushed her to the ground, pressing Old Mrs. Zhang's hands together against her stomach.
"Ahhh! That little hen, Cai Xiaolian, has killed someone! That barren hen, Cai Xiaolian, has killed someone!" Old Mrs. Zhang's voice grew even louder.
Gu Xin slapped him across the face: "Go ahead and curse! Keep going! Every time you curse my mother, I'll slap you! My mother won't lose a piece of flesh because of your cursing, but you'll lose a tooth because of this slap!"
Grandma Zhang refused to believe it: "You three women are all unwanted women, destined to be sluts!"
"Slap!" Gu Xin slapped him expressionlessly.
"You little brat, you can beat me to death, even if I die, I'll haunt you as a ghost! Even if you beat me to death, it won't change the fact that your mother can't lay eggs!" Old Mrs. Zhang continued.
"Smack!"
"Cai Xiaolian is a married woman, but Cai Xiaolian can't lay eggs!"
"Smack!"
"Cai Xiaolian and her two daughters are all married women!"
"Smack!"
"Cai Xiaolian and her three daughters..."
"Smack!"
“Cai Xiaolian…”
"Smack!"
Through the dim light, Cai Xiaolian looked at the expressionless girl slapping herself in the courtyard of the old house; her eyes were glistening with tears.
She couldn't remember how many years it had been since her parents died in despair after their business failed and the family went bankrupt. There had never been anyone in the world who could protect her like this, just because of a single slanderous remark made about her.
Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Grandma Zhang stopped scolding, and Gu Xin stopped hitting her.
“My aunt is your daughter, right? She’s your daughter, right? Your son and his wife watched as outsiders beat your daughter, leaving her bloodied and bruised. Not only did they not help your aunt, they even helped the outsiders by hitting her with a stool. You’re looking for your son and your grandson because of your daughter?” Gu Xin asked calmly.
"Pah! A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl! She's not my daughter, Xiao Ti, Gu Xin, let her go! It was Zhang Cui who was beaten. If Zhang Cui doesn't report it to the authorities, your family has no right to arrest her!" Old Mrs. Zhang's face was swollen and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, but for the sake of her son, she still spoke clearly.
“Aunt, it was you who spilled water on my Gu family’s land. Whether or not to report it to the authorities is up to my Gu family!” Gu Xin said calmly.
"You, you... She's my daughter! I gave birth to her, why should your Gu family have the final say?" Old Mrs. Zhang felt she had fallen into Gu Xin's trap, but she was shameless enough to say one second that what was said was done, and the next second she could turn around and say that she was my daughter and that everyone had to listen to her.
"Because she was buried with my uncle after she died! Because her tombstone says Gu Zhangshi! Because she was the mother of my Gu family children! Because she lived in my Gu family and saw me off in my old age, not your Zhang family! Your Zhang family beat our Gu family's daughter-in-law, harmed our Gu family's grandson, and now you want to take the culprit back! You're dreaming!" Gu Xin said, lifting up Old Mrs. Zhang.
Although she had grown much taller than last year, she was still not as tall as the old lady. She dragged the old lady to the door and threw her out: "Let me tell you, if you come to my Gu family to cause trouble again, I will knock out all your teeth and tie your hands and feet so you can't cause any more trouble!"
"This is outrageous! Everyone come quick! This old hen that can't lay eggs and her young, cunning daughter are trying to kill this old woman!" Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs.
Gu Xin took out a dagger, opened it, and held it directly to Old Madam Zhang's neck: "As you wish!"
