The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Mother Qin Xiuli did not want to get entangled with them any longer, so she stepped aside to walk past Wu Dazhu and continued walking back.

Seeing that Qin Xiuli was ignoring him, Wu Dazhu became anxious and reached out to grab her arm.

"Sister Qin, please wait a moment..."

Before he could finish speaking, another furious voice exploded: "You fucking want to die!"

Immediately afterward, before Wu Dazhu could even turn his head, he was sent flying.

Then, with a "bang," it crashed heavily to the ground.

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Li Kaixin had somehow appeared beside his mother, Qin Xiuli, his face terribly gloomy.

Seeing this, Qin Xiuli, the mother, quickly grabbed her eldest son's hand: "Kaixin, don't be impulsive!"

"Mother, I know," Li Kaixin gently patted her mother's hand to comfort her.

Chen Pandi, sitting opposite, froze for a few seconds before reacting and immediately rushing to her son who was lying on the ground: "My son, are you alright?"

On the other side, Wu Dazhu's wife also ran up, looking panicked.

Wu Dazhu lay on the ground, clutching his arm, his expression one of extreme pain: "Mother, I... I think my arm is ruined!"

He never expected that the Li family would actually take action.

"What!" Chen Pandi exclaimed in shock, then whirled around, her eyes glaring fiercely at Li Kaixin. "You little beast, how dare you hit your elder so hard!"

"Old woman, try swearing again!" Li Kaixin stared at her coldly and said slowly, "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're old."

Chen Pandi felt uneasy under his gaze, and her voice involuntarily lowered: "How can you be like this, kid? You think you're right to hit someone?"

"His beating was too lenient," Li Kaixin sneered, pointing at Wu Dazhu and saying each word clearly:

"If he dares to touch my mother again, do you think I'll cripple his arms and legs?"

As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

Over the course of that year, Li Kaixin had been to many black market trading sites and experienced several double-crosses, unknowingly cultivating this kind of imposing manner.

He just hasn't shown his true colors because no one usually bothers him.

Chen Pandi was immediately stunned by this aura, and her body trembled involuntarily.

"What...what do you want to do? You...don't come any closer!" she said, while backing away.

At the same time, my third grandfather, grandfather Li Hongtao, father Li Mingde, and third uncle Li Mingtian came over.

The two elderly men, Third Grandfather and Grandfather Li Hongtao, had both been through the battlefield and immediately saw the murderous intent in Li Kaixin's eyes, which made their hearts skip a beat.

They didn't dare delay and immediately stepped forward, grabbing Li Kaixin from both sides, fearing that he might kill Chen Pandi at the slightest provocation.

"Kaixin, calm down!" Grandpa Li Hongtao looked at him with concern.

"Yes, you mustn't do anything foolish!" Third Grandfather added, offering his advice.

Although his father and third uncle didn't know what was going on, they also helped to block Li Kaixin from entering.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin was both amused and exasperated, and her tone softened:

"Sir, you don't need to be so nervous. I was just trying to scare them; I didn't mean to actually do anything."

Upon hearing this and seeing that Li Kaixin's eyes had cleared again, Grandpa and Third Grandpa relaxed and let go of her.

At this moment, her father, Li Mingde, turned around and stared at Chen Pandi's face.

"Aunt Chen, the Li family isn't easy to bully. If you keep making trouble like this, don't blame us for being impolite."

He was furious when he saw his wife being bullied by Wu Dazhu.

Before he could make a move, his eldest son beat him to it.

Chen Pandi had calmed down a bit by now. Seeing that Li Kaixin had been stopped by his elders, her tone became firm.

"Young Master Li, what are we making a fuss about? We just wanted to borrow some grain from my son-in-law, what's wrong with that?"

As she spoke, she pointed to her son on the ground: "Look what your son has done to Dazhu! Your family must pay for our medical expenses today!"

"Losing money?"

The father, Li Mingde, snorted coldly and took another step closer to her: "Your son physically assaulted my wife, and before I've even settled accounts with you, you're already trying to extort money from me?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than her second uncle, Li Mingcai, walked up to Chen Pandi with a livid face.

"Mother, I'm making this clear today."

"From now on, I won't be giving you those ten catties of grain every month anymore. If you cause any more trouble today, we'll immediately sever ties with you."

"What did you say?"

Chen Pandi's eyes widened in disbelief, then she became furious. "Li Mingcai, do you have any conscience? Did you ever ask my daughter that question?"

"Mother, Mingcai's words mean the same thing."

Second Aunt Wu Li wiped away her tears and stood beside her husband:

"We have fulfilled our filial duties over the years. Today, you brought Dazhu to make a scene, making me feel ashamed in my husband's family. I don't blame you."

"But from this day forward, don't even think about taking a single grain of food from our house!"

"well......."

Chen Pandi pointed at her daughter, her lips trembling for a long time, before bursting into a tirade: "You unfilial brat! Are you trying to kill your old mother?!"

Second Aunt Wu Li pretended not to hear and turned her head away without looking at her again.

Just then, Li Kaixin took two steps forward, his tone leaving no room for argument:

"Aunt Chen, I'll give you two choices. Either take your son and leave now, and let this matter drop; or I'll go and ask the police to come and uphold justice."

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Chen Pandi and whispered a threat:

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I have some connections in the police force. It's not like I can't get your son sent to jail."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pandi's face turned pale.

Wu Dazhu, lying on the ground, no longer cared about crying out in pain; he had clearly heard what Li Kaixin had said.

He immediately panicked and said, "Mother, let's go! We don't need the food, I don't want to go to jail."

Wu Dazhu's wife, who was standing nearby, was also frightened and carefully tugged at her mother's clothes.

Chen Pandi's face turned pale and then red, but she was, after all, a rural woman, and in the end, she gave in.

She didn't say anything, but bent down and helped her son up.

Wu Dazhu's wife breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and took the hands of the two children.

Then, the family walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

After they left the courtyard, Aunt Wu Li could no longer hold back her tears.

Today, with her mother leading the disturbance, she not only lost face, but also doesn't know how to face her parents-in-law and elder brother and sister-in-law in the future.

Uncle Li Mingcai stood beside his wife, gently patting her back to comfort her.

At this moment, Qin Xiuli, the mother, sighed and stepped forward to pull Wu Li away, saying, "Lili, go inside and rest. Don't think about anything."

Third Aunt Wang Hongmei immediately came over, and then the three of them helped Wu Li into the house.
