Buying all the grain from her house won't work; she must still have money. We need to find a way to squander it all.
Grandma Xu cares most about her youngest son who is still in school, followed by her two eldest grandsons. It seems that when it comes to money, we need to start with these people.
When Xu Han and Lu Chuan returned to Doctor Liu's house, they saw a large crowd gathered outside the courtyard.
They vaguely heard Old Mrs. Xu's sharp voice, exchanged a glance, and hurriedly returned to Doctor Liu's house.
It turned out that Old Mrs. Xu was at home counting her money! Some busybody went to Old Mrs. Xu's house to tell her that her granddaughter, whom she had sold, had returned, riding in a carriage and bringing many gifts to Doctor Liu's house!
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu could not sit still and immediately led her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun, to Dr. Liu's house.
When the crowd saw that it was Xu Han and her companion returning, they tactfully made way for them to enter the courtyard.
Xu Han could vaguely hear the whispers of the crowd: "Is this still the same jinx? Look how much she's changed! She's completely different from before."
"Yes! Look at the clothes she's wearing, they don't look cheap at all, and they don't even have any patches!"
"She looks much better now. She used to be skin and bones, but now she looks completely different."
"She married a hunter, so she'll definitely be able to eat meat every day."
"Yes! They are definitely living much better now than us peasants, unlike us who toil in the fields every day for a living."
"She's so lucky to have married into such a good family."
Xu Han listened silently, ignoring the discussions of the crowd, and quickly pulled Lu Chuan into the courtyard.
I saw Grandma Wang arguing with Old Mrs. Xu, "Take out that worthless thing I gave you to your family. It should have been mine. What are you people?"
"What do you mean 'your'? You really have the nerve to ask for it. You sold Xiaohan and signed a severance agreement. Now you want to ask for something back? Dream on!" Grandma Wang said.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Han shouted as she entered.
"Hey! You good-for-nothing, you worthless wretch who was born but never raised! I'm your real grandmother, do you think I'm dead?! You have something good and you give it to outsiders, I'll beat you to death!"
After saying that, she tried to grab Xu Han's hair, but Lu Chuan quickly blocked her way, grabbed Xu's old lady's hand, and squeezed it hard.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! You little brat, let go of me!"
"Do you deserve to be my grandmother? Don't forget we've been estranged for a long time. Go back to where you came from!" Xu Han shouted.
"You keep calling me a money-loser and a cheap slut. Even if I bought something to feed the dogs, I wouldn't give it to you. Dream on."
"You, you, you dare to talk to me like that? You've gone too far! I'll beat you to death!"
Grandma Xu looked at Xu Han in disbelief. Was this the same person who hadn't reacted at all when she was beaten or scolded before?
Lu Chuan tightened his grip, causing Old Mrs. Xu to cry out in pain. Her eldest daughter-in-law, standing nearby, was too frightened to move, fearing that she would be the one to get hurt.
Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Xu scolded, "You idiot, what are you standing there for? Didn't you see I was beaten? Hurry up and hold that little bitch down."
Upon hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law rushed forward to grab Xu Han, but before she could grab her, Xu Han caught Sun's hand and slapped her aunt Sun across the face. Before Sun could react, she slapped her again.
The beating left Sun completely bewildered, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
This isn't how it is! This girl actually dared to hit me.
Once she realized what was happening, Sun immediately began to fight back, but Xu Han wouldn't give her a chance and continued to attack with both hands.
Xu Han, who has been used to physical labor lately, is quite strong! She is also agile, and no one like Sun Shi, who is lazy, gluttonous, and fat, could beat her.
Before long, Xu Han was riding on Sun's back and began to attack her one-sidedly.
Seeing that his wife hadn't suffered any loss, Lu Chuan didn't offer any help; it was better for his wife to vent her anger herself.
If my wife can't beat me, it's not too late for me to step in; the important thing is that my wife can't get hurt.
In an instant, chaos erupted. Grandma Wang's daughters-in-law began to take sides, seemingly trying to stop Xu Han from fighting, but actually holding down Sun Shi to prevent Xu Han from getting hurt.
It has to be said that Old Mrs. Xu and her family are not well-liked in the village. The villagers are hoping that someone will teach her a lesson!
This old lady Xu indulges her grandson in stealing chickens and dogs in the village all day long, and many families have suffered in silence.
And because his son is an educated man, he looks down on the villagers, thinking he is superior to them. He looks down on people all day long, he is simply a weirdo.
The fight continued until the village chief arrived, at which point Xu Han finally stopped.
Sun's face was bruised and swollen from the beating, which was quite a sight.
Xu Han also suffered some minor scrapes, and her hand hurt from hitting her.
Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly checked Xu Han's body and was relieved to find that she had only suffered minor abrasions.
"What are you doing? What's all this commotion about!" the village chief shouted.
"Village chief, you must stand up for me! Look what this good-for-nothing did to my eldest daughter-in-law! They're bullying me!"
"You're being bullied? You should have stayed home quietly. Why were you being bullied? Why did you go to Dr. Liu's house and cause trouble?"
"It's all because of this slut. She came home and didn't even buy me anything, but she bought so many things for a stranger. What an unfilial thing."
“If I remember correctly, you sold your granddaughter to this hunter a long time ago and even owed him a letter of severance. Why are you going back on your word now?”
“Even though she signed the letter severing ties, I am still her grandmother, and that can’t be changed. She has to be filial to me.”
"Nonsense! You sold her back then, and now you have the nerve to ask for filial piety? Go home right now and stop embarrassing yourself here, or I'll have Old Man Xu divorce you."
"Going back is fine, just pay back the money for the medicine and give me all that stuff too."
"You're simply unreasonable!" the village chief shouted angrily, pointing at Old Mrs. Xu.
"I don't care, my eldest daughter-in-law can't be beaten for nothing. She has to pay compensation."
At this moment, Mrs. Sun also started to cry out in pain.
The village chief looked at Sun Shi and saw that she was indeed in a terrible state. So he asked Doctor Liu, "Take a look at her injuries and see if she is alright."
Dr. Liu replied directly, "It's nothing, you don't need any medicine, you'll be fine in a couple of days, it's just that it looks a bit scary."
The onlookers couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Then I'll pay you 20 coins!"
"What? Only 20 coins?"
