"My lady, why are they walking so fast?"
Han Yu'an looked at the mother and her two children who were disappearing quickly, puzzled. He glanced at Cui Yulu, who looked somewhat aggrieved. They just wanted to go up the mountain with them.
"Yu'an, be good. We won't chase after them anymore. We'll go up the mountain ourselves."
Cui Yulu wiped his sweat, and the two of them went up the mountain hand in hand.
At this time, many farm women went up the mountain. Most of them had large families and were not rich in food. Linshui Village was located near the mountain, where there were many delicious mushrooms. If they picked a lot, they could take them to town to sell for some money.
"Look, isn't that the idiot from your eldest son's family? And someone even gave their daughter to them?"
A woman whispered to Li Dacui.
Li Dacui is the daughter-in-law of Han Shiren, the second son of the Han family. She usually looks down on the eldest son's branch of the Han family.
Now that she sees that one of her mentally challenged men has a wife, she is naturally resentful.
"Hmph, I bet this girl is a handful. What family would give a good child to someone who's an idiot? They must be short of money."
Cui Yulu didn't know them, but hearing them call her "idiot" made her uncomfortable.
Han Yu'an was digging in the dirt on the side, his face and clothes covered in mud, but he seemed quite happy.
"Look at that idiot, what can he do? I guess your eldest son just wants to buy someone to watch over him and keep him from crying."
The two women burst into laughter.
But how could a perfectly healthy young woman be content to stay with a fool? Sooner or later, something bad would happen.
Do you think that idiot is capable of anything?
The women's words became increasingly outrageous. Cui Yulu didn't want to listen, but these words kept entering her ears, and suddenly a surge of anger rose within her.
She put down her tools, picked up a wooden stick, and walked towards the gossipy women.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense. If you're so capable, say it to my face. Talking about others behind their backs will get you killed."
She wielded the wooden stick with great force, striking precisely at the most vulnerable parts of the women's bodies—the places that hurt the most, but not fatally.
The women scattered and fled, but the sticks seemed to have eyes, striking them precisely and painfully.
"Liu Meie, aren't you going to control your stupid wife? She's going to beat someone to death."
Li Dacui shouted loudly for Liu Meie. Liu Meie, who was far away, heard the voice and was curious. No one had ever made Li Dacui suffer a loss before. Who could make Li Dacui ask her for help?
So she took her daughter and daughter-in-law and decided to go over and see what was going on.
But before they even got close, they discovered that the person who hit them was actually Cui Yulu.
"You're still looking? Isn't this your stupid wife? Get her away from me right now."
Li Dacui was used to being arrogant and haughty, especially towards the eldest son's family, whom she treated with great disrespect.
Liu Meie suffered a lot of bullying from her.
Now, seeing her get beaten up makes me inexplicably happy, even gloating.
"Mother, don't worry about it. This is a good opportunity to teach her a lesson."
Han Chunying saw her mother about to walk forward and quickly stopped her.
"Of course I don't care. I'm helping Yulu. She's tired from fighting three monsters by herself."
Alright then, let's go together.
And so, Han Chunying and Liu Meie also joined the battle.
"Let me tell you, Li Dacui, watch your mouth. My third son only injured his head. Stop calling him an idiot. Remember my wife's name, Yulu."
Li Dacui never expected Liu Meie to act so unpredictably.
"Oh dear, someone's been killed! Old Han's mentally challenged wife has killed someone!"
She cried and wailed on the ground, which quickly attracted the attention of her two daughters-in-law.
Han Sen's wife, Zhao Zhaodi, and Han Lin's wife, Xu Sanni, are both formidable individuals.
Although each member of the second branch of the Han family is cunning and scheming, they are absolutely united when it comes to outsiders.
Seeing their mother-in-law being bullied, the two women joined the fight without hesitation, and the fighting force grew larger and larger.
Han Yu'an was so frightened that she covered her head and cried out.
"Don't hit my wife, don't hit me."
Seeing him like that, Cui Yulu felt a pang of heartache for no reason; he must have been bullied a lot in the past.
"Kill that idiot, so he'll never dare mess with us again."
Cui Yulu grew angrier the more she thought about it, feeling as if a surge of energy was about to burst out of her skull.
Suddenly, another bolt from the blue struck Li Dacui and her two daughters-in-law squarely.
Liu Meie and Han Chunying, who were entangled with them, and Cao Qiaoni were completely unharmed.
"Hey girls, get away from here quickly, lest you get tainted by their bad luck and get struck by lightning."
Although Liu Meie was startled, she quickly realized what was happening and pulled Han Chunying and the others away.
Only then did Cui Yulu feel much more comfortable.
My mood has improved a lot.
Then look at the mother and her two children; their faces were blackened by the blows, and their clothes were charred and still smoking.
"Mom, don't they look like the fire pokers Grandma used to use for starting the fire?"
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
The one who finishes the job is Han Chunying.
"Thank you for your help, Aunt and me."
“We’re all family, why are we speaking like strangers? We can’t just stand by and watch you get bullied by them.”
Han Chunying looked embarrassed; she was the one who had suggested to her mother that they dump them, and she felt a little ashamed now.
"See? Heaven is watching what people do. You've gone too far. Even the heavens won't forgive you. This is what happens when you bully my Yulu. Remember this from now on."
Liu Meie was really pleased with herself this time. She had been suppressed by them for so many years, and this time she finally got her revenge. She felt extremely happy and wanted to go home right now to drink some wine to celebrate.
Cui Yulu felt grateful to this family. When something happened, they didn't blame her but unconditionally believed in her, and she suddenly felt very happy.
In the past, no one in the Cui family would believe in me. If there was a conflict, my aunt would definitely beat me up without saying a word.
They absolutely refused to listen to their own explanations.
Cui Yulu saw Han Yu'an covered in mud. She hadn't paid attention to him during the melee, and he had been hit several times by Zhao Zhaodi and Xu Sanni.
His face still had injuries.
"Does it hurt?"
Cui Yulu used a handkerchief to wipe the dirt off his face and gently blew on his wounds.
"My wife, a gentle breath will ease the pain."
He smiled憨憨地, looking innocent and cute.
His expression seemed somewhat incongruous with his handsome features.
"With my wife here, no one will dare to bully you."
Cui Yulu spoke very seriously, and he listened very attentively.
"You two, hurry up or we'll starve!"
Seeing the two of them being all lovey-dovey, Han Chunying loudly reminded them.
So the two of them joined hands and caught up with them; this time, they were a family.
"Are you going to just wash your hands of it after you've hit someone?"
"They were struck by lightning, what does that have to do with us?"
Han Chunying pushed Han Sen's hand away, grabbed Cui Yulu's hand, and ran off together.
