Seeing that Wan Niang refused to let go, Old Lady Li picked up a wooden stick as thick as her arm from the firewood pile and was about to hit Wan Niang on the shoulder.
"You lazy, greedy, cheap bastard, are you going to let go? You've gone too far! I don't believe I can't stop you. I'll beat you to death!"
When the stick was still one centimeter away from Wan Niang's body, Li Mengyue stopped it directly, and then hit Old Lady Li in the face with the stick in her backhand.
"ah!"
Old Mrs. Li was hit on the face and she lost her grip on the boy and was about to fall to the ground. Li Mengyue picked up the boy in time and held him in her arms.
At this time, a plump woman wearing red and green clothes came out of the kitchen. She was Old Lady Li's third daughter-in-law, Zhou Meiying, who quickly stepped forward and helped Old Lady Li up.
"Mom, this is too unfilial of my second sister-in-law. You must teach her a lesson, otherwise she will shit on your head in the future."
It would have been fine if Zhou Meiying hadn't said anything, but as soon as she did, Old Lady Li became extremely angry. She felt like she was about to explode and wanted to reach out for a stick.
Zhou Meiqin saw her mother-in-law's actions but didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Wanniang and sneered, "Sister-in-law, not only are you disobeying mother-in-law like this, but you also find help from somewhere and dare to lay hands on her. Be careful or she'll ask my brother to divorce you."
Old Lady Li got the stick and raised it up with gritted teeth, wanting to hit Wan Niang, but Li Mengyue blocked it. Not only did Old Lady Li fail to succeed, but she was also hit a few more times by Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue didn't hold back at all when hitting Old Mrs. Li with these blows, and she sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
Li Mengyue gave Zhou Meiqi, who was fanning the flames, a sharp look. Zhou Meiqi trembled all over and dared not look at Li Mengyue anymore.
The villagers watching the excitement around thought that Li An's wife would be in great trouble if she didn't die, but they didn't expect that a girl would appear out of nowhere and dare to attack Old Lady Li.
You should know that Old Lady Li is a well-known shrew in the village. She would make a fuss over the slightest thing and would not listen to any reason at all.
Therefore, when Old Lady Li was about to beat Wan Niang, no one stepped forward to persuade her, for fear of getting into trouble and being unable to get rid of Old Lady Li.
Old Mrs. Li was beaten so hard by Li Mengyue that her arms were painful and numb and she couldn't move.
Just as she was thinking about how to teach Wan Niang a lesson, she caught a glimpse of her husband and eldest son rushing back, and knew that her plan for the next day would definitely fail.
No matter what, she certainly couldn't take his own grandson away in front of the head of the family.
Then, Old Lady Li covered her face and cried loudly on the ground: "This is outrageous! My daughter-in-law is bullying her mother-in-law to death. Not satisfied with her own bullying, she even recruited helpers. God, please open your eyes and send a thunderbolt to kill these bitches."
Li Mengyue had no time to pay attention to the old lady Li's scolding. She held the boy in her arms with one hand, slowly helped Wan Niang up, brought her to Li An, and then walked towards Zhou Meiying.
"Put the child down." Li Mengyue stared at Zhou Meiying with cold eyes.
Zhou Meiqi's hands trembled, and she didn't dare to say a word. She didn't care about her mother-in-law's blame and put the child directly on the ground.
Li Mengyue brought the child to Wan Niang, who immediately held her son in her arms and burst into tears.
The matchmaker saw that the deal was impossible and wanted to rob the woman by force. However, she looked at the villagers who were surrounding her and was worried that she would not be able to leave the village, so she ran out of the yard.
Ever since his second son Li An broke his leg, Old Man Li has not been to the fields for many years and has to work in the fields.
You should know that when Old Man Li was young, he worked in a jewelry shop in Qingshan Prefecture for more than ten years. One day, by chance, Old Man Li picked up a few thousand taels of silver notes left by a customer. Adding his own savings, he resigned from the shopkeeper and returned to his hometown, Xingyi Village.
Old man Li was gone for more than ten years. When he came back, he brought his wife and children with him, but his grandparents had passed away long ago. He took out his savings, bought an acre of land, and built a large brick and tile house.
In the entire Xingying Village, only the village chief Li Wen's family has a blue brick and tile house. It can be seen that the living conditions of Old Man Li's family are much better than most families in the village.
Later, Old Man Li's wife died, and he married Zhou Zhen from the next village.
