Jiang Bai rubbed her head. She already knew, which was why she asked Scholar Ji to ask for help.
"You stay inside. You're not allowed to come out unless I call you."
"Sister, what...what are you going to do?"
Jiang Lu nervously grabbed her hand, feeling extremely uneasy. Her fear of the old family in the old house had seeped into her very bones.
"Of course... we should take back what is rightfully ours."
Jiang Bai slowly grinned, revealing a confident and composed smile, a quality Jiang Lu had never seen in her older sister before.
For some reason, Jiang Lu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, a bitter feeling welling up inside her, and murmured, "Sister..."
"Jiang Lu, you brat, get out here right now."
Jiang Bai pushed the person into the house, quickly closed the door, and then turned to look at the courtyard gate.
A large group of people burst in from outside the door. Leading the way was Jiang Bai's uncle, Jiang Anlin, with his eldest son, Jiang Songzong, and his second son, Jiang Songhu, beside him.
The group of people looked fierce and menacing; they were more like enemies than family.
"I've met you, Uncle."
A group of people rushed in, and when they saw Jiang Bai, they were all stunned. Even Jiang Songhu was taken aback.
"Da Ya, when did you wake up?"
Jiang Anlin frowned as he looked at her. The way she had bowed so respectfully just now reminded him of his missing sister-in-law.
That's just how she was—gentle and frail, always greeting people with a bow, completely unlike any other peasant woman.
"Reporting to Uncle, he just woke up."
Jiang Bai straightened up and replied obediently.
Even though she looked as gentle as before, Jiang Anlin felt something was different and couldn't help but look at his eldest son, Jiang Songzong.
Jiang Songzong nodded, took a step forward, and said sternly, "It's good that you're awake. Where's Jiang Lu? Tell her to come out."
"Big brother, Er Ya is still young. If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Jiang Bai stood in front of the door, not moving an inch.
"Heh, let me tell you, do you know what she's done? She's incredibly audacious and disrespectful to her elders. She actually injured Grandma. That's unfilial of her."
"That's right, don't think you can get away with hiding. If you don't come out soon, we won't be polite."
Several cousins followed closely behind Jiang Songzong, their eyes flashing with amusement.
"Oh? Then why doesn't my eldest cousin tell me why Er Ya accidentally hurt Grandma?"
Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow and asked in return, emphasizing the words "accidentally" and "hurt".
"How would I know what she was thinking? Anyway, it's a fact that she injured Grandma."
A hint of guilt flashed across Jiang Songzong's eyes.
"Since that's the case, why don't we wait for the clan chief and the village head to arrive, and then we can discuss it further?"
This family stole things, contracts, and even Jiang Songwen. It's impossible that the clan chief and village head knew nothing about it.
They simply thought that since the two girls were of marriageable age and would eventually get married, the young Jiang Songwen would have to be taken care of by her grandparents and uncles, so they simply didn't interfere.
But what if they knew that her grandmother planned to sell them? And to some filthy place? Wouldn't they care?
This is a good opportunity to gauge the clan chief's attitude.
"No way." Jiang Anlin could no longer stand still and immediately stopped him.
“This is our own family matter, there’s no need for the clan chief and village head to bother them.” Jiang Songzong realized what was happening and quickly refused.
"Mother, Second Aunt, please pull Da Ya away, let's just grab Jiang Lu."
Having said that, he had no intention of wasting words with Jiang Bai and was going to force him.
Lin rushed forward to pull Jiang Bai away, but Jiang Bai grabbed her wrist and slammed her against the door.
On the contrary, Aunt Zhang, the second aunt, was pulled back by Uncle Jiang and was a step too late. She saw Lin being pressed against the door and was so frightened that she took a step back and did not go forward.
"You brat, you dare hit my mother? I'll kill you!"
Jiang Songhu was impulsive. Seeing that Lin was being bullied by Jiang Bai, he clenched his fists and rushed forward.
Jiang Bai kicked the man two meters away, who clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.
"Jiang Daya, you still dare to hit someone?"
"As expected, you are a wretched girl without parents. Neither of you sisters is any good. One of you hit your grandmother, and now you dare to hit your aunt. You have really gone too far."
"Don't you even respect me as your uncle? Let go of your aunt right now!"
Jiang Anlin stared at Jiang Bai in disbelief, utterly shocked.
He was right; the girl seemed like a completely different person. She was no longer weak, and her strength had increased considerably.
"Letting go is no problem, but I hope that my uncle and brothers can calm down and not ruin our harmony."
Jiang Bai glanced around and, seeing that their expressions had changed, released Lin Shi with satisfaction.
The person opposite him had a gloomy expression, while Jiang Bai was relaxed and at ease.
For a moment, no one spoke.
In the village, I've seen plenty of people pulling hair, slapping, and fighting, but I've never seen anyone like Jiang Bai who could so easily subdue someone and kick them two meters away.
"Father, this girl is stalling for time."
Jiang Songzong glanced at the house, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
They had planned to take control of Jiang Lu, but Jiang Bai was in a daze, and after selling the two girls, and with the remaining boy being the same, their third uncle's house would become theirs.
Unexpectedly, at the last minute, that brat Jiang Bai woke up and became so difficult to deal with.
"Never mind, let's all go together."
Jiang Anlin remembered that his mother had said the girl was worth eight taels of silver and the younger one was worth five taels. No matter what, he had to take them back today and get their household registration documents.
"Everyone, let's get started. Don't forget what we discussed when we came here."
Fearing his younger brother's family wouldn't help, Jiang Anlin added another sentence.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Anshan, the second uncle of the Jiang family, changed his expression, waved to his family, and everyone sprang into action.
A dozen or so people, young and old, men and women, didn't care whether they could win or not. Some rushed towards Jiang Bai, while others aimed at the door behind her, intending to grab Jiang Lu first.
They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
Jiang Bai takes down a kid with a single punch. Her attacks are delivered at tricky angles. These guys only have some brute strength; they're no match for her.
In no time at all, they had knocked the group of people to the ground, where they lay groaning and moaning.
Jiang Bai walked up to his eldest cousin, Jiang Songzong, and stepped on his right hand.
"Ah... my hand."
"You brat, what are you doing?"
“Brother Zong”.
Jiang Anlin and his wife were shocked and furious, their faces turning pale with fright.
You must know that Jiang Songzong was the only scholar in their family, and he was usually extremely precious. But now his right hand was being trampled under Jiang Bai's foot, and she even rolled it from side to side. Jiang Songzong was in so much pain that his screams were distorted.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I stepped on it by accident."
Her explanation was completely insincere, and she even obediently bowed to Jiang Anlin.
"You...you..."
This infuriated Jiang Anlin so much that he vomited blood.
"Now, everyone behave yourselves and wait for the clan chief and village head to uphold justice!"
