Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sudden Strength
“But…why should I give it to you?” Jiang Mi suddenly changed the subject. “I earned all my money through hard work. Why should I give it to you just because you want it? My third sister-in-law has already helped you out so many times, and you’re still not satisfied. You’re pushing your luck. It seems I have to teach you a lesson. You’ll never know your place!”
As soon as Jiang Mi finished speaking, she was about to unleash her immense strength when suddenly someone stood in front of her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the person was Huo Ran!
Huo Ran was also very tall, but compared to a savage like Su Daqiang, he was relatively thin and weak, as if Su Daqiang could kill him with a single punch.
"Who are you? You little chick, get out of the way right now, or I'll punch you away. Don't blame me if you die."
Su Daqiang pulled the axe out of the ground, held it in his hand a few times, and it looked quite heavy.
"You'll find out who I am once you try."
When it comes to dealing with people, it's best for girls not to act rashly. Girls are meant to be protected, so he should shield Honey behind him and protect her well, even if she has the ability to protect herself!
Su Daqiang was surprised that this thin and weak man had such a big mouth. He glared at Huo Ran and said, "Fine, you're so arrogant. I'd like to see how you deal with me."
After Su Daqiang finished speaking, he placed the axe on Huo Ran's neck. However, before he could get close to Huo Ran, Huo Ran grabbed his wrist. Without Huo Ran exerting much force, Su Daqiang kept crying out in pain, and then the axe in his hand fell to the ground as if he could no longer hold it.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let me go! You little chick, you're so skinny, how come you're so strong? Did you take some kind of superpower?"
Seeing her husband being bullied like this, Su's mother was heartbroken: "You heartless bastard, how could you treat my husband like this? I...I'll bite you to death!"
As she spoke, Su's mother opened her blood-red maw and was about to bite Huo Ran's wrist. Huo Ran, being a man, was unwilling to fight with a shrew and could only avoid her.
Huo Ran gave in to her, but Jiang Mi wasn't going to tolerate it. She grabbed Su's mother's hair and dragged her to the ground, saying, "Your Su family has no shame, do you want two against one?"
Su's mother cried out in pain, but she was no match for Jiang Mi's strength and was pinned to the ground by Jiang Mi, unable to move at all.
Su Xing originally relied on his parents to back him up, but unexpectedly, his parents were beaten up instead, and he lost face. Now, he only dares to bully Su Yindi among everyone present.
"Su Yindi, are you still a member of the Su family? Your parents have been beaten like this, and you don't even care. You're such an ingrate! Don't come back to the Su family anymore. You'll have no family to rely on now. If you get bullied here, don't go back to complain. No one will stand up for you!"
Su Xing threatened and intimidated Su Yindi, who was not well-liked by her mother-in-law. If she didn't have a good life in her husband's family, she would lose her own family and be bullied to death by her husband's family. After all, they were her own parents. Thinking of this, she pleaded and held Jiang's mother's hand.
"Mom, please tell Jiang Mi to stop! That's my mother! We're in-laws, after all. Don't make things so awkward."
Jiang's mother shook off her hand: "What in-laws? Have you ever seen in-laws act like this? You still have the nerve to say that? I haven't even asked you why you secretly gave your brother money again. He's not missing any limbs. Does a grown man need a woman like you to help him?"
Su Yindi was so embarrassed by what her mother-in-law said that she couldn't lift her head. She really had no reason to complain. But if she continued to make a scene, she would be disliked by both her husband's family and her own family. She would not be able to stay in either of them.
Thinking of this, Su Yindi decided to go all out. Jiang's mother cared most about Jiang Mi, and as long as Jiang Mi nodded, Jiang's mother wouldn't say anything.
Su Yindi knelt down before Jiang Mi with a thud, kowtowing and crying, "Third Sister, I beg you, please let my father and mother go! They know they were wrong, and I know I was wrong too. Please, please let them go..."
Seeing Su Yindi like this, Jiang Mi couldn't bear it anymore and stopped what she was doing. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su's mother dodged away, clutching her scalp and groaning, "You're going to tear my scalp off! You heartless woman, and you wild man who came out of nowhere, let my husband go!"
Huo Ran glanced at Jiang Mi and said, "I can't make that decision. You have to ask the Jiang family. If they say they'll let you go, then I will."
Su Yindi continued to kowtow to Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi sighed and pulled Su Yindi up, saying, "Third sister-in-law, don't do this. We're all family. You can talk things out. Why do this? It was your parents who went too far. If I don't teach them a lesson, there will be trouble later. You'll be the one who suffers the most. Do you want to see that happen?"
Su Yindi didn't seem to hear a word he said; she cried her eyes out, saying only that she was unlucky.
Jiang Mi then said to Huo Ran, "Young Master Huo, please release him first. This matter has nothing to do with you. Thank you for saving him. I'm so sorry to have shown you such a terrible side of things."
In Jiang Mi's eyes, Huo Ran was such a gentle and refined young master. When had he ever encountered such a messy situation? It was truly an eyesore and a dirty mess for him.
Upon receiving Jiang Mi's nod, he suddenly released Su Daqiang's wrist. It was clear that he had done it effortlessly from beginning to end, easily subduing his enemy with just a flick of his finger. He was exceptionally skilled. The fact that Jiang Mi knew such a powerful figure showed that the Jiang family was also formidable and not to be trifled with.
Su Daqiang was released and immediately picked up the axe again, but unfortunately, he had been so badly injured that he couldn't muster any strength. His right hand was trembling slightly, as if it were useless.
"Husband, husband, are you alright?" Su's mother ran to Su Daqiang's side, touching his hand with heartache. Seeing that his hand was trembling, she wanted to scold Huo Ran, but when she saw Huo Ran's cold eyes, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
“My husband’s hand is in this state, are you just going to ignore it? You have to give him compensation. He can’t work anymore, and we have no source of income. You can’t expect us to starve.”
Huo Ran coldly said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."
