The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 676 The House and Land Are Taken Back
"Just because you have a little meat in your crotch, you think everyone revolves around you. Since you're using that meat to fight for things, you might as well castrate yourself. And why should Mingxiu fight with you? Why don't we send you to Mingxiu's parents to ask them? How dare you make such a fuss about bullying an orphan girl."

"Since you're so capable, why don't you go into the mountains and become a bandit, robbing whoever you don't like? You only dare to act arrogantly towards Mingxiu here."

Gu Taohua angrily cursed at her eldest cousin from the Li family, who was rolling on the ground.

Li's eldest aunt hugged her son and cried out that he was her darling, while his sister-in-law glared angrily at Gu Taohua and Li Mingxiu, and Li's eldest uncle was so angry that his lips trembled.

The head of the Li family stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Mingxiu, establishing a female household is a major event. You are a young woman who doesn't know how difficult the world is. Without the Li family to support you, wouldn't others bully you to death if they saw you all alone?"

Li Mingxiu pointed at her uncles and cousins ​​and said calmly, "Clan leader, you've misunderstood. After my parents died, they were the ones who bullied me the most. When I got outside, I realized that it was sunny outside, but it was raining in the Li family."

The clan chief is a man, so naturally he speaks for the men in the clan.

They are all birds of a feather.

When Li Mingxiu was bullied, he pretended not to know. Now that she has only taken back her parents' house and land, the clan chief couldn't wait to jump up and uphold justice for his eldest cousin.

The suffering Li Mingxiu endured in the Li family was inseparable from the patriarch's indulgence.

Su Qing sneered, "Since the clan leader loves to back up his cronies so much, why didn't you stand up for Mingxiu when she was bullied? Why didn't you stand up for Mingxiu when her house and land were seized? Why didn't you stand up for Mingxiu when they were about to sell her to an old widower? Now you suddenly want to back her up? Are you weak or blind?"

Gu Taohua said, "Since he has both kidney deficiency and blindness, the clan leader should stop causing trouble for others."

The curses were too dirty.

The Li family patriarch was so angry at Su Qing and Gu Taohua that he glared and puffed out his beard.

"Where did this little brat come from? What does it have to do with you what the Li family does? Be careful you don't meddle and get yourself killed." The Li family patriarch tapped the ground with his cane.

Gu Taohua said, "I am Li Mingxiu's employer. Li Mingxiu signed a work contract with my family. She is being bullied by the Li family. Do you think I should do something about it?"

The Li family patriarch fell silent.

It turns out she was Tong Dajiao's daughter, a legendary woman who no man has dared to marry to this day.

They are someone the entire Li family, even if they were to unite, would find difficult to offend.

The clan chief looked at Li Mingxiu with a sinister gaze. He should have stopped Li Mingxiu from working in the weaving workshop in the first place.

When Li Mingxiu was hired by the weaving workshop as a cotton carder, he was very happy, thinking that he could use this job to share Li Mingxiu's wages with the other members of the Li family.

Unexpectedly, Widow Tong was extremely vicious; only the person who made the payment could receive it.

To this day, he has not seen a single penny from Li Mingxiu. When asked, he was told that the money was temporarily held by the employer to earn interest.

Because of her own kindness, the orphan Li Mingxiu, relying on Tong Huaqiong in the weaving workshop, turned into a wolf cub and began to bite back at the Li family.

It would be too shameful for the Li family to have a daughter living in a female household if word got out.

The clan chief felt that the clan had not mistreated Li Mingxiu, and that her behavior was a sign of a loss of conscience.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family patriarch stood with her hands behind her back and said coldly, "Mingxiu, you are young and naive. You think others are standing up for you, but do you not know that you have fallen into their trap? Why are they standing up for you? Isn't it because they want to keep you busy making money by fluffing cotton for them?"

“We’re family. As the saying goes, you can’t write the same character as Li. We can settle things behind closed doors. It’s not a big deal. We’re family, and we would never harm you. If you leave the Li family to start your own family, even your parents in the underworld won’t agree. You’ll regret it sooner or later. Who would say that a daughter-in-law would marry an orphan with no family to support her? Listen to your fourth aunt, only our Li family truly cares about you.”

Li Mingxiu rolled her eyes at her fourth aunt and said, "My employer never shortchanged me a penny when I was fluffing cotton. I've worked myself to the bone for my eldest and second uncles since I was a child, and they've never given me a single penny. Forget about money, I've barely had a full meal. Don't say I grew up on air; I've raised myself by farming."

"Fourth Aunt keeps saying that my parents won't agree to me establishing a female household. How does Fourth Aunt know that? After all, words are not enough. Why don't you go underground and ask my parents if they agree? Also, please ask them what they think, since my uncle took our house and land and gave it to my cousin. Go now, I'll wait here."

Fourth Aunt of the Li Family: "."

Is this a curse wishing her death?
How come she never realized this girl could be so hurtful? Li Mingxiu's expression suddenly changed, and she said sharply, "Fourth Aunt, since you say this is a family matter of the Li family, and you are clearly surnamed Wu, you have no right to interfere in our Li family's affairs. Don't act like you're all megaphones, each wanting to chime in."

Aunt Li was speechless.

Li Mingxiu glanced around at the group of Li family members, her eyes showing no fear.

"I deserve every bit of this house and land that is rightfully mine."

"Since my older cousin is unwilling to return it, I will take it back myself."

Li Mingxiu rolled up her sleeves, picked up a hoe from the corner of the yard, and smashed the lock. Gu Taohua and Su Qing went into the house and helped throw all of her cousin's family's belongings out.

Two constables with swords on their shoulders stood guard at the door, and none of the Li family members dared to approach.

Seeing that the house was gone, the eldest sister-in-law was unwilling to accept it. She burst into the house crying and cursed Li Mingxiu for being unlucky and bringing misfortune to her parents and the rest of the Li family.

"Then I'll show you how I can bring you down."

After Li Mingxiu finished speaking, she grabbed her eldest cousin's wife and slapped her left and right, then threw her out like a chick.

If she doesn't show her strength, does it mean the Li family has forgotten how strong she is?

Since arriving at the weaving workshop and working with Tong Huaqiong, he has been eating and sleeping well, and his arm strength has become amazing due to his constant cotton-fluffing. His eldest sister-in-law was lying in the courtyard in pain but couldn't even scream.

The house was cleaned up quickly.

If Li Mingxiu couldn't throw it away, she would smash it. Hearing the crackling sounds inside, the Li family members were terrified.

Since the household is now set up for women, Li Mingxiu won't be living in this house anymore. If her eldest cousin wants to live there, she doesn't mind; he can just buy it with money.

After tidying up the house, we started tidying up the land.

They summoned the village chief to the field and measured out the five mu of land.

The eldest cousin was still unwilling to give up and hand over the land deed. Li Mingxiu looked at the eldest cousin's two sons and said in a sinister tone, "You two brats, watch out."

Startled, the older cousin quickly handed the land deed to Li Mingxiu.

They're all lunatics. Who knows what this lunatic might do?

After all that fuss, they finally got the house and land back.

"Second Uncle, you took my mother's set of jewelry from back then. You either have to return it or give me one hundred taels of silver."

Uncle Li was suddenly called out by Li Mingxiu in public, which startled him.

He thought Li Mingxiu was too young to remember this back then, but he didn't expect her to remember it and come after him like a vengeful ghost.

Uncle Li said, "What kind of headwear? Don't make baseless accusations."

Li Mingxiu said to the yamen runner, "I am accusing my second uncle of stealing the jewelry left by my mother."

The constables were about to come up and arrest him.

Uncle Li was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

That set of jewelry was kept in a box by Li's second aunt. She always said that she would use this set of jewelry to control her daughter-in-law, so that her daughter-in-law could see it but not have it. With the jewelry hanging on her, her daughter-in-law would be at Li's mercy.

"Second Uncle, I'm asking you one last time: are you going to give it to me, or are you going to compensate me with one hundred taels of silver?"
