Old Mrs. Chen tossed her money pouch aside, counted it carefully, and found only 25 coins. Her anger, which had just subsided, flared up again. She angrily said, "Only 25 coins? You did a whole day's work for her, and she only gives you 25 coins?"
Yunniang timidly moved back, her body trembling. "It's...it's only 25 coins, I...I didn't do the 35-coin job..." Her voice trembled with fear.
As she expected, Old Mrs. Chen slammed her hand on the table, raised her cane to hit someone, but found it was too far away to reach her. She could only pound the ground hard, saying, "That Wan Qiqi, she's got all the money going to other people..."
Grandma Chen took all her anger out on Wan Qiqi, cursing and swearing for a long time before stopping.
Yunniang returned to the house, carefully lifted her trouser leg, and saw that her skin was covered in bruises. Tears welled up and streamed down her face.
Just as she was feeling aggrieved about her situation, she suddenly heard the door open.
She froze, quickly pulled down her trouser leg, wiped away her tears, and walked out with her head down, saying, "I'll go do it..."
Before she could finish speaking, with a "thud," she was thrown to the ground, her ears ringing, and her vision blurred.

Every word he uttered was filled with dissatisfaction towards Yunniang, and he even compared her to Wan Qiqi, saying, "Wan Qiqi is also a woman, and she can do so well. Why can't you do anything!"
Amidst repeated belittling and insults, Yunniang finally retaliated, questioning, "Chen Yongnian protects Wan Qiqi in every way, he's so capable. You're his brother, why aren't you as good as him?"
Chen Ergou was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yunniang to dare to talk back.
However, Yunniang not only dared to talk back, but even picked up a stool from the side and smashed it hard at Chen Ergou.
She'd had enough and didn't want to endure it any longer.
