Xie Zhi's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know what to say. Xie Zhi felt like his heart was about to jump out. Several people at the table were scared by this name.

"Little sister, you are possessed by evil spirits."

"How you talk is fine to me." Father Xu was broad-minded and looked at his daughter and son-in-law with a smile. He had met Xiaozhi many times and he was a good kid.

"I'll go help mom serve the rice." Xie Zhi stood up suddenly.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Xie Zhi is my husband. Is there anything wrong with calling him that?"

The only braised pork on the table was placed in front of Xu Jiaojiao. Xu's mother made it specially for her. Other people's bowls contained rice mixed with grains, but only her bowl contained round white rice and an egg. Looking at her smiling mother, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Oh, you're eating." A shrill female voice sounded, making people feel numb.

As soon as the voice came out, Xu Jiaojiao frowned and subconsciously looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a middle-aged woman half leaning against the door with a contemptuous smile on her face.

When the other people at the table heard the familiar voice, they didn't even turn their heads. The joyful atmosphere was instantly broken. They thought to themselves, the earthquake has happened again, and the plate of braised pork on the table is in danger.

The middle-aged woman walked up slowly, her eyes fixed on the dining table: "The food is delicious, and there's braised pork. Xu Jiaojiao, why don't you bring it to us?"

"ha."

Xu Jiaojiao was confused. Did she know this lady?

"My son Sheng Jie has been working very hard recently. Fortunately, you little rascal sent a chicken over yesterday." Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao didn't respond, the middle-aged woman threw out her trump card.

After all this fuss, this Sheng Jie's mother, in the original book, was the wicked mother-in-law who beat and scolded Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao had a smile on her face and said, "I didn't want to settle the score with you, but you came to me yourself."

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Mother Sheng became furious and pointed her greasy finger at Xu Jiaojiao: "The elders are talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Xie Zhi's expression was calm. He glanced at the girl who was concentrating on eating and felt a little embarrassed. This person came here often. In the past, they would have dissuaded him, but Jiaojiao tried her best to please him, and he got angry with him in return.

Now that Xie Zhi had finally managed to improve his relationship with Jiaojiao, he decided to keep quiet so as not to make her angry.

Xu Jiaojiao was so angry that she laughed: "I don't know what you are doing here."

Mother Sheng was worried about her son who had not eaten yet, so she reached out to take the braised pork away. No one stopped her. Xu Jiaojiao held the old woman's hand.

He glanced at them coldly and said, "Let go."

Mother Sheng's eyes perked up, she lifted up her sleeves, and was anxious to take action. This woman was surprisingly fat, and she really looked scary. Her voice was sharp: "Xu Jiaojiao is rebelling against you. Do you still want to enter my house?"

"I don't know who is so eager to send so many things to me. Bah, shameless people who are paying for it." He snorted at the end.

Xu's mother slapped the old woman in the face, pressing her hard to the ground, then she sat on her waist and slapped her a few more times.

"Damn it, bitch, I've tolerated you for a long time. Dare to scold my daughter, I'll tear your mouth off."

Xu's mother's eyes were wide open with anger, and like a lion protecting its cubs, she used all her strength to swing her fists violently, beating the other party without any chance of fighting back.

The incident happened so quickly that everyone at the table didn't even have time to react. They only saw the skinny Xu's mother riding on the fat Sheng's mother, her eyes red, scratching and clawing.

"You dare to hit me, you actually dare to hit me." Sheng's mother was extremely shocked, but when she came to her senses, she immediately wanted to fight back. After all, this old woman had a great advantage in size. She exerted force with her hands and instantly pressed Xu's mother under her, ready to fight back.

Seeing her mother at a disadvantage, Xu Jiaojiao stepped forward and said, "Mom...are you crazy? How dare you hit my mom?"

Then they joined the fight. A woman pounced on her opponent without hesitation and used all her strength to pin down Sheng's mother who had gotten up. She rode on her opponent and punched her violently until the opponent was unable to fight back. The scene was in chaos for a while.

Seeing that Jiaojiao had almost been beaten, Xie Zhi hurried forward to protect her, then threw Sheng's mother aside like a chicken, and looked at the girl's aggressive appearance with a smile on his face.

She murmured, "How cute."

When the three were pulled apart, Xu's mother's hair was disheveled and her clothes were a mess, but the old woman from the Sheng family looked even more miserable. There were obvious red marks and nail marks on her face, and she lay on the ground wailing.

In fact, she was beaten quite a lot by Xu Jiaojiao, but Xu Jiaojiao was very fat, so she was not seriously injured and only suffered some physical pain.

"Jiaojiao, does it hurt?" Xie Zhi held Jiaojiao in his arms. Looking at the several red marks on the girl's originally delicate hand, he felt so distressed that he wanted to touch it but was afraid of hurting her.

The fierce look was like a slash to Mother Sheng's heart, making her want to kill her. Mother Sheng, who was standing aside in a daze, trembled with fear at the look in his eyes. Then she remembered that Xu Jiaojiao didn't want him to stick to her son. She tilted her head back, snorted through her nose, and looked quite arrogant.

"Honey, I'm fine. That crazy woman is in a terrible state. I pinched and beat her so hard that I made sure she couldn't leave the house for the next few days." The girl spoke in a brisk tone with a sly expression on her face, like a cat stealing some fish.

Xie Zhi nodded blankly. This was the first time he saw Jiaojiao showing such a lively expression towards him. In the past, all these belonged to Sheng Jie.

Seeing that the family was busy caring for Xu's mother and Xu Jiaojiao, Mrs. Sheng became even angrier. She immediately lay down on the ground, slapped her thighs, cried and howled, and kept squirming on the ground like a greasy maggot.

"Oh, is there anyone to take care of this? Someone got beaten up in the village chief's house. Is there any law?"

"Keep yelling, keep yelling, I'll beat you up." Xu Jiaojiao shouted angrily.

Mother Sheng's greasy body trembled in fear, and her eyes were evasive. She was really afraid of this little hoof. It hurt so much when he hit her. She didn't know where she got the strength from, and her lower back still hurt.

"Get out of my house. If you dare to come in again, I'll beat you to death." Xu Jiaojiao put her hands on her hips, looking very arrogant.

Seeing that she would not get any benefit today, Mother Sheng dodged the gazes of these people, got up, and walked away embarrassedly.

"Little sister, was that really you?" Xu Chen couldn't believe his eyes. He was almost stunned. In the past, Jiaojiao tried her best to please the old woman and even surpassed her parents at home. But she changed so quickly. Could she be possessed by a ghost?

"Dad, please set up some chopsticks for my little sister." Xu Yan glanced at Xu Chen. The two of them were indeed twins.

Father Xu took Mother Xu inside to change clothes. He heard this as soon as he came out. Before he could agree, he heard his precious daughter say, "No, I'm not possessed. Xie Zhi and I will live peacefully in the future. I was blind before and misjudged that family."

Xu Jiaojiao said this like she was swearing, and then looked at Xie Zhi with determination and hidden tenderness in her eyes.
