Chapter 103 "Hmph"

Old Mrs. Liu jumped up from the ground, approached her daughter, and raised her voice: "What?!"

"What happened to the son-in-law?"

"How could my perfectly good job suddenly disappear?!"

Her son-in-law was her pride and joy, and Old Mrs. Liu cared about him terribly.

Those rough hands pressed down on her daughter's shoulders with great force; the deep lines on the back of her hands were clearly visible, and blood was almost seeping out.

"Tell me! I saw my son-in-law a few days ago, and he was perfectly fine. How come he lost his job so quickly? Did you get into trouble outside?!"

"You good-for-nothing, I'll beat you to death!"

She was so angry that she swung her arm as if to hit someone.

The Liu family's daughter wasn't dead; she couldn't just let her mother beat her like that. She took a few steps back to avoid it.

"What does this have to do with me? My man clearly said... it was you, you provoked the wrong person, that's why he was dismissed." Her words were full of resentment.

Grandma Liu refused to admit that it was her fault; her small frame belied a great deal of energy, and her voice became even louder.

“I’m in the brigade every day, who could I possibly offend? Don’t try to pin this on me. I think you’re the one who messed with them. I told you you were always so arrogant, you were bound to get your comeuppance sooner or later. See? Your retribution has come down on your family…”

The Liu family's daughter was so angry that she trembled all over.

"You talk about retribution? You're talking to me about retribution!"

"How did I end up with a mother like you?" Her voice trembled, choked with sobs. "You married me off to a divorced old man for a high dowry. His child is only a few years younger than me. How could you be so heartless? Ah, I ask you, how could you be so heartless? I'm your own child! I finally had a few good days, and you ruined them again. What do I owe you? You talk about retribution, but you're the one who should be punished!"

Old Mrs. Liu is quick-witted, but her words can be sharp.

"What did I stir up? What did I stir up!"

“What’s wrong with my son-in-law? He’s a bit older, but he has a job and a government-subsidized job. I went to great lengths to find you such a good son-in-law, and you’re complaining about me instead! You’re an ingrate! I think you’re the ingrate!”

The Liu family's daughter was full of resentment, her eyes bloodshot. "What's so good about it? What's so good about it!" she shouted hysterically.

"If your son-in-law is no good, I can't even have my own child!" As if to shout out all the resentment in her heart, Liu's daughter stopped pretending and revealed all the family's dirty laundry. "You knew he was no good, but for the sake of face and a high dowry, you pushed your own daughter into a fire pit. Are you even human?"

“Aunt Meihua is so good to Lin Zhao, and what about you? You don’t treat me like a human being. I’m not even as good as the chickens in the house. You always compare yourself to Aunt Meihua, so why don’t you learn from her and treat your daughter better?”

Old Mrs. Liu is incapable of self-reflection.

She was spitting and cursing loudly at her daughter.

"Haven't I been good to you? If I hadn't been good to you, I would have drowned you in a cesspool long ago. You're such an ungrateful wretch!"

The Liu family's daughter was suppressed since childhood. She would tremble all over if she raised her voice or argued with someone. Right now, she was trembling uncontrollably.

"Fine, I'm an ingrate! I'll be an ingrate then!" She was so angry that she was incoherent, only wanting to hurt Old Lady Liu. She even blurted out, "You still want to compare yourself to Aunt Meihua? Someone like you will never be as good as her in your entire life!"

After saying that, he turned and ran out of the house, wiping away his tears as he headed towards the county.

After this ordeal, she and her family were completely estranged, but life had to go on. She couldn't get a divorce, because she had nowhere to go anyway.

Old Mrs. Liu's thin body suddenly straightened up, and the fire in her eyes was almost bursting out.

Isn't it the pain in his heart caused by being stabbed in the heart by his own daughter?

She's been comparing herself to Song Meihua since she was young, and she still is. The heartbreaking thing is that no matter how strong she tries to appear, she knows that her life is inferior to the Lin family's in every way.

When her own daughter exposed her, Old Lady Liu felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

She chased after him, shouting sarcastically at the retreating figure, "Who do you think you are? You're as stupid as a pig and not even that good-looking. If it weren't for me looking out for you, would you have the good life you have now?"

"You worthless wretch who curses as soon as you put down your bowl, get out! I don't have a daughter like you, I'll be waiting to see you cry!"

The thin figure ahead paused slightly, then straightened its back and left with even greater determination.

The women who witnessed this scene all shook their heads.

The Liu family's daughter is pitiful. I heard that the man she married has a bad temper and often beats and scolds her. Her stepchildren are also difficult to get along with. Even though she married into a respectable apartment building in the city, everyone knows that she had a hard time in that family.

Did Old Lady Liu not know these things? Probably not entirely.

But her son-in-law with a job really made her proud; she was blind to his true nature.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, everyone left.

After that, the whole brigade was filled with gossip about the Liu family.

They say the Liu family is heartless, even cheating their own neighbors of decades; they also say that Old Lady Liu not only harmed her own family, but also caused her son-in-law in the city to lose his job…

Go for the worst possible sound.

The Liu family's affair had become a big deal, and naturally, it couldn't escape the notice of Lin Shichang, Lin Shisheng, and others.

When they learned that their family had almost been scammed, they secretly thought the Liu family deserved their fate.

“That family are all venomous scorpions. They don’t make a move unless they’re absolutely sure of it, and when they do, they want to crush their opponent without giving them even the slightest chance to recover.” Lin Shichang’s brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

Chen Yu never made enemies, but upon hearing about the Liu family's plans, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"The Liu family not only wants to harm my parents and us, but also Da Dan and the others."

She looked at Lin Shichang and said, "Honey, think about it. Once our family is divided into different groups... Da Dan and the others will be pointed at and talked about, unable to hold their heads up, and even bullied by the bad boys in the village."

How can a child grow up well in such a terrible environment? Big Egg's Dad, the Liu family is truly vicious; they want to completely destroy our family!

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Lin family: Lin Shichang is diligent and capable, while Chen Yu is meticulous and reserved, always thinking things through deeply.

After listening to his wife's analysis, Lin Shichang's breathing became disordered.

"Yes, that's really vicious." He said in a deep voice, "I couldn't understand why Mother attacked the Liu family, but after hearing what you said, I understand everything now."

"Don't worry about it, I'm going to find the second brother, this isn't over!"

Lin Shih-chang said a few words and walked out of the house.

Just as I was walking towards the second house, the courtyard gate creaked open.

"Big brother?" Lin Shisheng, who entered under the cover of night, was surprised that his brother was still awake.

Lin Shichang casually asked, "It's pitch black outside, what are you doing out there?"

Lin Shisheng grinned, revealing his white teeth. "It's all so dark, it's easier to put a sack on someone." He waved the sack in his hand, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

Lin Er was quick-witted and knew all too well the Liu family's ruthlessness. Without a word, he took a sack and went out, sacking two people in a row and venting his anger. He felt incredibly satisfied.

"The Liu family?" Lin Shichang guessed.

Lin Shih-sheng did not deny it.

The next second, disapproving words squeezed into his ears.

"Why didn't you call me?"

Lin Shisheng looked up abruptly, saw the seriousness on his brother's face, and said with a smile, "Next time, I'll definitely call you next time."

"Hmm." Lin Shichang walked into the house and said, "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to sleep."

Lin Shisheng washed his face and went back to his room to sleep.

The room was furnished like a bachelor’s house, and indeed, Qiulian’s belongings had been packed up when she sent him back to his parents’ home.

Thinking about the message Wu Guodong had given him, his eyes suddenly darkened.

For some reason, Qiu Lian was surprisingly well-behaved this time when she returned to her parents' home.

Lin Shisheng wasn't in a hurry. Once he sent the person away, he had no intention of bringing them back.

……

Lin Zhao heard about the Liu family's misfortune from her second brother the following afternoon.

Her face instantly turned icy cold. "What grudge could cause the Liu family to act so ruthlessly? Are they trying to push our family into a fire pit? Second brother, we absolutely cannot let them get away with this."

In the original story, Da Dan and his family suffered so much that they never held their heads high in their lives. They were so traumatized that they became as timid as mice, and Lin Zhao could not forgive the Liu family.

Lin Shisheng's gaze turned cold. "Of course not."

Anyone who dares to harm his family must pay the price.

The rewriting of this part of the original story made Lin Zhao happy again, and she turned to ask about another matter, as if asking casually, "Second brother, hasn't second sister-in-law returned from her parents' home yet?"

Lin Shisheng had a feeling that Zhao Zhao seemed to know something, and he looked at her probingly, "Zhao Zhao, are you..." But he swallowed the words back down, remembering his father's words.

"Is it something?" Lin Zhao blinked, feigning ignorance as she asked.

"It's nothing," Lin Shisheng shook his head.

……

foot of the mountain.

Under a large, lush tree, several children stood divided into two groups, the atmosphere tense.

"Cat Egg, stand behind me." Erzai pulled a thin, dark-skinned boy behind him, looked at the older child opposite him, and said righteously, "Wang Yaozu, Cat Egg is my brother, I won't allow you to bully him!"

Wang Yaozu looked to be seven or eight years old. His clothes had fewer patches than the other children's, and his face was a little rounder than theirs.

Just by hearing his name, you can tell that he is very pampered at home and has high expectations placed on him.

The boy, who was spoiled rotten by his whole family, was seven or eight years old, an age when he was domineering and lawless.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ning Maodan is not your good brother." Wang Yaozu retorted to Erzai's words, and waved the willow branch in his hand from time to time, warning, "Today is my business with him, it has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."

Erzai wasn't easily frightened; after being disciplined by his father for several days in a row, the little guy became incredibly arrogant.

He stood with one foot in front of the other, squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and beckoned to Wang Yaozu.

"come!"

"I learned a few moves from my dad. If you dare come any closer, I'll beat you into a pig's head!"

Wang Yaozu dared to hit Maodan'er, but he didn't dare to easily lay a hand on the twins. The former had no parents, only a sickly grandmother, who was easily manipulated; the latter had so many powerful backers, any one of whom could easily defeat him.

He only puts on a tough front.

The thought of the twins' father made her legs tremble uncontrollably.

That person has such fierce eyes!

His grandma said that the twins' father had definitely killed someone, how terrifying!!

"I will not bully the weak!" Wang Yaozu snorted, trying to defend himself.

His two little puppies cried out at just the right moment.

"Wow!" His face was full of bossy power!

The eldest son tilted his head and bluntly exposed Wang Yaozu, "Cat Egg is also younger than you. You bully him. Isn't that bullying the younger one?"

Enraged and humiliated, Wang Yaozu lost his temper and reached out to push Da Zai's shoulder.

Heavy.

The eldest son didn't expect him to be so uncivilized, attacking without warning. He was pushed back half a step and almost fell to the ground.

When Erzai saw his older brother being hit, he was furious. He sprang up like a firecracker, rushed over, snatched the willow branch from Wang Yaozu's hand, threw it aside, and punched Wang Yaozu on the bridge of his nose with his little fist.

"How dare you hit my brother!"

One punch wasn't enough, so he threw another.

A process is completed in an instant.

"!" Cat Egg was stunned, but its eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Second son is amazing, he can even beat older kids!
Wang Yaozu felt a sharp pain in his nose, and tears were about to well up in his eyes. He felt a wetness in his nostrils, and when he wiped his nose, he saw bright red blood.

"Wah—Milk—!" He saw that he was bleeding, his head was spinning, he covered his nose with his hand, and ran towards the village while calling out "Milk."

They disappeared in no time.

The young leader was beaten to tears, and Wang Yaozu's two lackeys quietly ran away.

"..."

Erzai curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Wang Yaozu is almost ten years old and he's still complaining to his family. He's such a coward, humph."

Cat Egg didn't say anything.

He has no family to rely on, and he has nowhere to complain if he wants to. Sometimes he envies the children who can complain.

The eldest son looked serious and said to the second son, "Second son, Wang Yaozu's grandma is really fierce. Let's go home quickly, or we'll get caught."

Kids can't beat adults.

Erzai was quick-witted and immediately said, "Let's go home."

Then he grabbed his brother and cat, and quickly ran home.

They ran into the Gu family's house, slammed the door shut, looked at each other, and burst out laughing.

The twins ate vegetable pancakes yesterday and said they really liked them. Lin Zhao promised the children she would make them for them herself today, so she started making them as soon as she got home, and they're finished now.

Hearing laughter from the courtyard, she went out of the kitchen.

"Big cub, second cub," Lin Zhao called out.

A quick glance revealed a skinny little boy between the twins.

I recognized the child immediately; I didn't know him.

"Mom!" Erzai called out, taking the initiative to introduce to his mother, "Mom, this is Maodan'er. My brother and I have made up with Maodan'er, and now we are good brothers."

He exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, just now my brother and I protected Cat Egg!"

The eldest son added from behind: "Yeah, Wang Yaozu wanted to steal the fish that Maodan had caught, but the second son and I stopped him and prevented him from bullying Maodan."

He kept calling the child "cat egg," as if he were very familiar with the kid, but in reality, they weren't that close.

"You two are great," Lin Zhao praised, then changed the subject, asking, "Did you suffer any losses?"

Erzai's eyes darted around, and he nervously fiddled with his fingers, saying, "We didn't lose out, Wang Yaozu did."

"Ok?"

The eldest son's slender fingers hooked around Lin Zhao's clothes, and he looked up at her with his little face, saying, "Mother, the second son hit Wang Yaozu because of me."

Lin Zhao knew Wang Yaozu, the only boy in the Wang family, who was spoiled and pampered by the whole family. He was domineering and bullied the weak while fearing the strong.

"Did Wang Yaozu hit you?" She patted her eldest son's head.

"He didn't hit me, he just pushed me." The eldest son saw that his mother wasn't angry with them, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Her small body pressed against Lin Zhao, as hot as a small furnace, radiating heat.

He continued, "Second son avenged me. He used such a big fist... to smash Wang Yaozu's nose, and smashed it open!"

Erzai said, "Serves him right! Let him bully the kids again!"

Lin Zhao was stunned.

Erzai made Wang Jia's golden egg's nose bleed?!

She gently squeezed Erzai's little hand, which was as soft as tofu. How could it have such great power? Was it his determination to avenge his brother?
At that moment, Lin Zhao couldn't say anything.

The child has just done a good deed and is feeling happy. Being lectured like this will definitely make them unhappy. We'll talk about it tonight.

She moved her lips, about to say something, when there was a knock on the door.

"Why is the door closed? Open the door! Is anyone home?"

That's Tie Dan's voice.

Da Zai hurriedly opened the door, let Tie Dan and the others in, and then clicked the plug back in.

Hammer asked innocently, "Hey kid, why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

"I punched Wang Yaozu in the nose and made him bleed. My brother and I need to lay low for a while," Erzai said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao was practically bursting with laughter inside.

Try to avoid the limelight; why are you making such a loud noise?

Iron Hammer's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his face was full of shock. "Huh...?! You're the one who made Wang Yaozu's nose bleed?"
