Aunt Zhou was startled by Granny Tian's sudden action and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Ning Qiu was forcibly pulled up by Granny Tian, and Ning Wu rushed forward to stop her.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Granny Tian slapped Ning Wu across the face.
"You poor lad, how dare you try to climb up to my Ning Qiu? Do you even deserve it?"
Seeing her son being beaten, Aunt Zhou quickly stood in front of Ning Wu, glaring angrily at Granny Tian and saying:
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting my son!"
Granny Tian spat on the ground and cursed:
"You still want to lie to me that this big brick house belongs to your family? How can we, Ningqiu, go and live in that dilapidated mud house with your family?"
At this moment, Aunt Ning couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly got up to pull Granny Tian away.
"Big sister, stop fooling around, what are you doing?"
Granny Tian glared at Aunt Ning and scolded:
"You brainless idiot, how could you let your perfectly good daughter marry into such a family? How could you be so heartless as to let your daughter suffer like this?"
Aunt Ning had always been intimidated by her older sister since childhood. Today, when Granny Tian called out to her, she immediately lost her arrogance and could only shrink her head and stand behind the village head.
Seeing the scene in chaos, the village head glared at Granny Tian and angrily said:
"You don't need to worry about our family matters. If you want to stay for a meal, then stay; if you don't want to, then leave!"
Seeing that the village head had spoken, Granny Tian didn't dare to be too arrogant anymore. She just glared fiercely at Aunt Ning and cursed:
"Alright, don't blame me for not warning you today! You'll understand my good intentions when Ningqiu is eating chaff and wild vegetables with this brat!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qiu couldn't help but wipe away her tears. Seeing this, Ning Wu quickly stepped forward to support Ning Qiu and comfort her.
Seeing this, Granny Tian glanced at her disdainfully and began to hurl insults at her:
"You shameless brat, you've never been as obedient as our little darling since you were little. Now you insist on marrying into such a poor family. How dare you invite us over for dinner? We're trying to do this for your own good, and you cry and refuse to listen when we say a few words to you?"
Jiang Yuwei couldn't bear it any longer after hearing Granny Tian's words and immediately started cursing:
"What's wrong, Granny Tian? You really think you're something special? What does someone else's wedding have to do with you? Why are you acting all high and mighty? Humph, I bet you're just trying to force your daughter to marry Tie Zhu, and Aunt Zhou isn't willing, so you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
"Who is this old woman's daughter? Why is she in such a hurry to marry her off?"
"Look, it's that chubby girl who's holding a plate and eating a chicken leg."
"Oh, no wonder you're in such a hurry."
"Sigh, I think Aunt Zhou's family is really unlucky. Why did they have to invite such a troublemaker on such a perfectly good day?"
Hearing the surrounding whispers, Granny Tian lost face. Forgetting about scolding the still-crying Ning Qiu, she strode over to Jiang Yuwei, pointed at her nose, and began to berate her:
"Stop talking nonsense and ruining my daughter's reputation. With his family being so poor, why would I let my daughter marry into such a miserable family!"
Jiang Yuwei glanced at the chubby girl who was still eating a chicken leg with her head down and nodded:
"With your daughter's build, most families really can't afford to support her. I think you should just stay home and serve her like a slave, and don't even think about getting married!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Tian grabbed a stool from the side and smashed it at Jiang Yuwei!
The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Yuwei didn't even have time to dodge before a large hand grabbed the flying stool in front of her.
Jiang Yuwei turned her head and saw that Ning Zixuan had come out. She breathed a sigh of relief, as she didn't want to be hit by that stool for no reason.
When Granny Tian saw that the stool had been caught, she became even angrier and pointed at Ning Zixuan, cursing:
"And where did you come from, you poor lad? What are you doing meddling in our women's squabble?"
Wang Ma couldn't bear to see her mistress suffer, so she rushed up and slapped Granny Tian across the face, leaving Granny Tian stunned.
Jiang Yuwei was also startled by what she saw. She didn't expect Wang Ma to be so fierce. Without saying a word, she slapped him. She was indeed from a wealthy family. She was just too quick to act.
Granny Tian was stunned for a while before she realized she had been hit. She covered half her face and cursed:
"You old hag, why are you hitting me!"
Wang Ma glared at her and scolded:
"You troublemaker! I've had a bad feeling about you ever since you came into the hospital. You've been looking around suspiciously, trying to show off. Who do you think you are, someone else's getting married? You keep talking and talking. Do you think you're the only one with a mouth?"
Granny Tian was so angry at Wang Ma's retorts that she couldn't breathe, her face turning red with embarrassment.
"You, you, how could you say that to me! I'm Ning Qiu's aunt, if I don't take care of her, who will!"
Jiang Yuwei had long seen through Granny Tian's little scheme, so she didn't bother to save her face and directly cursed:
"You still know you're her aunt? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were Ningqiu's mother. You're really good at putting on airs. Ningqiu's marriage was arranged by the whole family. What are you doing here trying to impress her!"
After saying this, Jiang Yuwei, fearing that Aunt Ning might be misled by her own sister, stepped forward, grabbed Aunt Ning's arm, and pointed at Granny Tian, saying:
"Auntie, don't visit this kind of relative anymore. She caused trouble on such an important day for Ningqiu. She has no good intentions. Her own daughter can't get married, and she's resentful that Ningqiu got married first."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei looked at Aunt Ning and said:
“Auntie, since you weren’t here earlier, she thought this courtyard was Ning Wu and Ning Qiu’s wedding room, and she kept muttering that this house should belong to her daughter. Just think about what she was thinking!”
Aunt Ning's expression changed immediately upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, and she looked at Granny Tian in disbelief, asking:
"Sister, what do you mean by this? Are you really not hoping for Ning Qiu's well-being?"
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei had seen through her little scheme, Granny Tian was too ashamed to stay any longer. She grabbed Xiao Jiao, who was still eating with her head down, and dragged her out, cursing as she went:
"Hmph, you believe everything others say? If you don't believe me, then our two families should never associate again!"
Xiao Jiao, who had been pulled up, stared at the fish on the table and reluctantly shouted:
"Mother, Mother, I haven't eaten the fish yet!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Tian glared fiercely at Xiao Jiao.
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating. Your mother is being bullied to death, and you're still thinking about eating. Come on, let's go home."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Jiao and dragged her out with all his might.
Seeing that the troublemaker had finally left, Jiang Yuwei told everyone to continue eating.
The busy day quickly came to an end. Jiang Yuwei finished tidying up the yard and went back to her house to sleep.
No sooner had she lain down than she heard a lot of messy footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. Jiang Yuwei quickly got dressed and went to the courtyard. By then, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Jiang Yuwei looked up and met the eyes of a man who was about to climb over the wall of her house. She was so frightened that she screamed:
"Ahhh, get up! A bad guy has come into our yard!"
