This is absolutely intolerable!
"Stand back!"
Song Hanyan quickly left the doorway; his wife was throwing a tantrum, so he decided to stand back and watch the show.
Nan Zhi took a step forward. "Don't bother. I wouldn't even look at someone like you, let alone Song Hanyan."
"You can go," Chen Yan realized something and quickly changed her words, "Don't worry, I won't fight you. Now that my family is destroyed, I have nothing left to fight with my sister for."
Nan Zhi retorted without hesitation, "What does your family's ruin have to do with me? That's their own fault. What, are you trying to play the victim and get sympathy for yourself now? You looked down on Song Hanyan back then, but now that he's good-looking, you're practically throwing yourself at him. You're shameless. Why don't you go back and look in the mirror and see if you're a bastard or a tortoise?"
"Nan Zhi, you! Shameless!"
Nan Zhi scoffed, "No way, I can't compare to you. You're so shameless that you chased after him and offered yourself up. You even acted pitiful to gain sympathy. You're both despicable and shameless. Why don't you just call yourself the epitome of despicable?"
Nan Zhi looked around, and Nan Chun Gu found a kitchen knife and handed it to her.
Nanzhi: "..."
Actually, all you need is a stick.
However, a kitchen knife would be more intimidating.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yan backed away step by step. "Murder is a crime, Nan Zhi, how dare you!"
Nan Zhi swung her knife at her, but Chen Yan managed to dodge it.
A strand of hair brushed past the cleaver, was cut in two, and fell to the ground.
Nan Zhi casually chopped her hand, saying, "Let's see if I dare."
Chen Yan took a few deep breaths, turned around and ran away.
Nanzhi picked up a stone and threw it at the woman's buttocks.
"Ah!" Chen Yan cried out in pain.
Nan Zhi laughed and said, "Don't come again, or I'll throw razor blades next time."
Startled, Chen Yan's steps faltered even further.
The whole family laughed.
Qian Lanfang: "I thought that girl was alright before, but I didn't expect that after going to the city, she would learn to act like a concubine in a wealthy family. We can't keep her, Zhizhi, you have to keep your man in check."
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. He doesn't need me to interfere. If he dares to marry someone else, I'll chop him up with that knife."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Song Hanyan's lower body.
Song Hanyan immediately stood up straight, feeling a cool sensation between her legs.
"Coward!" Zhou Chang said with disdain.
The apprentice he taught was now being controlled by his wife.
Nan Zhi was washing her hands and about to cook when Nan Chun Gu quietly slipped into the kitchen.
"Sister, look what this is!"
She pulled a few lively shrimp out of her pocket.
Nanzhi asked excitedly, "Mantis shrimp? Where did you catch it?"
Nan Chungu leaned close to Nan Zhi's ear and said, "There are many in the Tai Le River, but I only caught a few."
Nanzhi checked the time. The Taile River was quite close to her home, so she could catch more fish.
"Come on, let me show you how to catch shrimp."
"Sister, Grandma won't let us go to the river." Otherwise, what would he be doing sneaking around like that?
Nan Zhi: "Then let's go secretly."
While the Nan family members were chatting in the next room, Nan Zhi grabbed a basket and quickly ran to the riverbank with Nan Chungu.
She took out the prepared meat, threaded it onto a rope, and tied the other end to a wooden stick.
"Sister, will this work?"
They always go down into the river to catch them, that's the only way the mantis shrimp won't escape.
Nan Zhi: "Don't worry, watch me."
When the meat is put into the river, the shrimp smell the meat and immediately crawl over.
Nan Chungu leaned over the table and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, I've got it! I've got it!"
As one shrimp came over, more crawled onto the meat.
They looked almost the same, so Nanzhi picked them up with a stick.
"Crayfish!" Nan Zhi's mouth was watering.
It's hard to see clearly underwater, but you can see it clearly once you've fished it up in Nanchun Valley.
"Sister, you can't eat these shrimp, they bite."
A child from the next village once caught a red shrimp and got bitten on the hand; the scar is still there.
"Nonsense, as long as you don't touch his two front pincers, he won't pinch you."
Besides, this thing is a good one.
That's priceless!
Spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, five-spice crayfish—just thinking about them makes my mouth water.
"Come on, keep hoisting, keep hoisting."
Nan Chungu looked at Nan Zhi, wondering if his sister was alright. It was terrifying.
If the basket weren't too big to hold, Nanzhi would have liked to hang even more.
They came back the same way they came out.
I didn't expect to be caught as soon as I entered the courtyard.
"Nanchun Valley!"
"Old Mrs. Nan roared."
Nan Chungu thought to himself: It's over, I've been caught.
"Grandma, I didn't go to the river."
Well, he's confessed without being asked.
Nanzhi originally had a chance to fool them, but this little guy exposed her true colors.
Grandma Nan flew into a rage, "You actually took your sister to the Taile River! I'll beat you to death!"
Old Mrs. Nan grabbed a stick from the doorway and chased after him.
Nan Chungu ran away crying, "Grandma, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Qian Lanfang felt sorry for her son, but she could only endure it for the moment. Nanzhi had her accident at the Taile River, and ever since then, the old lady had forbidden anyone from the family from going there.
Chun Gu is knowingly breaking the law.
She simply went inside and started hitting him; since she couldn't see it, she didn't care.
Nanzhi reached out her hand, trying to stop her.
"Grandma, I dragged Chun Gu there by force."
"Zhizhi, don't speak up for him. Let Grandma stand up for you."
In front of his granddaughter, his grandson was completely unimportant; he could hit him without hesitation.
"Grandma, it really is me."
Grandma Nan: "Zhizhi, don't worry about it."
Nanzhi had no choice but to give up. "Fine, fine, go ahead and fight."
Chun Gu went to the riverbank alone and even went into the river to catch shrimp; he really deserved to be beaten.
