After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 169, Episode 0176: The Li Dazhu Family Feud Over Division (Part Two)
"Just before the workday ended, Donkey Egg [Li Dagen's youngest son] ran back covered in blood. A little while later, his eldest and second daughters-in-law started fighting."

Grandma Niu's son, Chen Zhirong, followed his father's last wish and became a glorious soldier. He is now a level 12 cadre and married the daughter of his old squad leader. The two have two sons and one daughter together.

Chen Zhirong wasn't unfilial for only taking his wife and children with him to the army and not taking Grandma Niu. On the contrary, he was very filial, his wife was a good person, and the children were very close to their grandmother. It was Grandma Niu who didn't want to cause trouble for the children.

How could a son argue with his parents? Old Mrs. Niu insisted, and Chen Zhirong had no choice but to compromise.

However, Chen Zhirong also made a condition: he would send money and tickets back to support his wife in her old age, but she was not allowed to go to the fields to earn work points anymore, since she was already in her sixties or seventies.

They even asked villagers to help take care of it.

So, Grandma Niu lived a much more comfortable life than the other old ladies in the village. The other old ladies didn't even have to work in the fields to earn work points, and they had a lot of things to do at home. She only needed to take care of herself, and she had money and ration coupons so she could eat whatever she wanted.

But the life in Versailles, while comfortable, was also very boring, and the old lady often felt lonely.

Fortunately, there was a neighbor across the hall who would make noise every three days, adding a lot of spice to her otherwise dull old age.

Whenever something happens across the street, the old lady with her short legs moves quickly, sits on the stone bench by the door, and watches her daily episode.

Knowing that their family's existence meant this much to Old Lady Niu, one wonders if Old Lady Hua across the street can still maintain her pride.

Grandma Niu pulled Lin Yuexi to sit on the reserved stone bench for watching movies. He was handsome and pretty, quiet and gentle, and had the patience to talk to these old ladies. She liked him the most.

Without her invitation, Aunt Zheng and the others followed and sat down, crowding together and all perking up their ears.

"Didn't Donkey Egg get a sore throat before the New Year? You don't know, Donkey Egg is a bad kid. Da Gen's wife, relying on being the eldest daughter-in-law and having given birth to the eldest grandson, always thinks that everything in the house belongs to her. If her nephews and nieces have anything, she instigates Donkey Egg to snatch it. That time, he went to snatch Qi Ya's things and was pushed away by Stinky Egg."

Chou Dan is Li Ergen's eldest son, who is eleven years old, while Qi Ya is Li Ergen's youngest daughter, who is only two years old.

Stinky Egg found a bird's nest in the grass by the river, secretly roasted and ate some outside, and because he loved his sister, he brought two back for her.

When Qi Ya was sitting at the door of her house peeling and eating bird eggs, Donkey Egg saw her and snatched them away without saying a word.

When the bird eggs were stolen, what did a two-year-old like Qi Ya know? She immediately burst into tears.

When Stinky Egg heard this, he rushed out of the house and saw Donkey Egg putting the bird egg into its mouth. He was furious and pushed Donkey Egg.

Grandma Hua refused to give him money and used soot from the bottom of a pot to stop the bleeding of Donkey Egg. Now Donkey Egg has a hideous scar on his face.

Regardless of whether Dagen's wife resented Old Lady Hua or not, she truly hated Ergen's family.

"Today, Chou Dan brought Qi Ya back first. That Chou Dan is quite capable; he got his sister some food again. I saw what it was, and I noticed that the little girl's mouth was puffing out when she came in."

Lin Yuexi noticed that Grandma Niu didn't seem to dislike the whole family across the street.

She spoke of Grandma Hua with disgust, and of Li Dagen's family with disgust, but when she spoke of Li Ergen and Li Wugen's families, she not only didn't sound disgusted, but also seemed to feel a sense of disappointment.

Lin Yuexi didn't know much about Li Dazhu's family, so she didn't make wild guesses and continued to listen patiently.

"After a while, Ergen's wife came back first. It was Ergen's turn to cook today; then Dagen's wife came back with Donkey Egg."

Grandma Niu pointed to a certain direction in the opposite courtyard, "Qiya was sitting there at the time, and she was the only one in the courtyard. Ergen's wife and Choudan were not there." "Dagen's wife and Lvdan suddenly came out of the house and went straight to find Qiya. I was a bit far away and didn't hear very clearly, but I vaguely heard Dagen's wife asking Qiya for something. I heard words like 'roasted bird' and 'take it out'."

"Qiya was so scared that she cried, and then Ergen's wife and Choudan ran out of the kitchen."

"Dagen's wife went too far; she threw Qiya on the ground."

What mother could possibly tolerate this?

Ergen's wife happened to be holding a rolling pin, so she rushed up and started swinging it at Dagen's wife.

But Da Gen's wife was no pushover either. Over the years, relying on being the eldest daughter-in-law and having a powerful family, she had certainly enjoyed many benefits in her husband's family, if not by swagger. She had become quite burly and had little energy for work, but she was a formidable fighter.

The second wife was the complete opposite. Her husband was dull-witted, and her family wasn't supportive. She had five children, but only had one son, Chou Dan. She felt even less confident. She basically endured whatever Grandma Hua and the others did to her. She was so thin and small that she looked like she could be blown away by the wind.

After the initial impulse subsided, Ergen's wife couldn't hold back and was overtaken by Dagen's wife. If it weren't for Choudan, who was already over ten years old, stopping her, Ergen's wife wouldn't have fared well.

By this time, everyone in the village had already finished work. Li Dazhu and Granny Hua, along with their four sons, two other daughters-in-law, and a bunch of kids, had already returned in a grand procession.

Li Ergen is usually a dullard, but he cares a lot about his wife and children. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as capable as Li Wugen, who was able to give birth to several daughters and raise them all.

Seeing that his wife was being bullied by his sister-in-law again, and this time his sister-in-law was even holding a rolling pin that could be used to hit people, Li Dagen got angry and turned around and punched the still stunned Li Dagen.

Li Dagen was naturally unhappy about being hit, so he went up and started fighting with Li Ergen.

"The scene became a bit chaotic afterward. My eyesight isn't good, so I didn't see clearly. Anyway, at the beginning, it was just Da Gen and Er Gen fighting. Old Man Li shouted for San Gen and Si Gen to pull them apart, but they couldn't, and they got involved too."

It was chaotic at the time. Everyone was yelling at each other, and it was hard to understand what they were yelling. Anyway, everyone's temper got louder and louder with each yell. Sons were fighting with their sons, daughters-in-law were fighting with their daughters-in-law, and even the little kids were fighting together.

Everyone stared silently at the other side, who still hadn't stopped, seemingly determined to get through it all.

Li Dazhu had disappeared without a trace. Old Lady Hua, unsure whether it was her own doing or someone else's, was sitting on the ground slapping her thigh and wailing.

Aunt Zheng: "Where's Li Dazhu?"

Where is he, the head of the family, at a time like this?
Grandma Niu pursed her lips dismissively, "No matter when their family makes a fuss, that old scoundrel Li Dazhu always hides away, and it's always Grandma Hua who takes the lead in everything."

"Everyone thinks that Grandma Hua is in charge of their family. If things are chaotic, it's because Grandma Hua didn't manage the family well, and if things are embarrassing, it's all Grandma Hua who is losing face."

"Actually, Grandma Hua listens to that old man in everything, and she's afraid of him too."

After she finished speaking, she looked around mysteriously, as if she had a big secret to tell.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on her, and all their ears perked up.

However, Grandma Niu didn't pay much attention to the others. She mainly focused on Lin, the educated youth next to her. When she saw Lin looking at her with shining eyes, she felt satisfied with her life.

He approached Lin Yuexi with a wide smile and said—
