A jinx, me? But I bring good fortune to my whole family!

Hearing the commotion, Old Mrs. Gu stormed in.

I just heard about it at the hospital; that little girl really is a jinx. The Su family just took her in, and now one misfortune after another has befallen them.

The old lady was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire. "I told you we couldn't pick up this jinx! You surnamed Su, you just wouldn't listen. Look at what's happened now, you've ruined me, ruined Jinbao, and ruined Lao San too."

"How could my Gu family have married such a useless thing like you! Do you want our Gu family line to end?"

When Su Xiulan heard the doctor say that her husband might not make it, she felt like the sky had fallen and her mind was in turmoil.

But the old lady's words instantly brought her to her senses.

When people are extremely disappointed, even rabbits will bite, let alone humans.

"Who said my Nuannuan is a jinx? She's clearly a lucky charm!"

"Don't you know how you and Jinbao got hurt? I've been very tolerant of you in the past because of the children and their father, but that doesn't give you the right to take advantage of your age and bully us, a widow and her orphan."

"We finally got a rabbit, and you won't even let us have a sip of soup! How can there be such a heartless mother and grandmother!"

"My son Jianguo's fate is unknown, have you even bothered to ask a single question? You didn't even inquire, you just hoped he'd die so your son could take his place, is that it? Do you act like his mother?"

Su Xiulan was also furious, her eyes bloodshot, like an enraged lion.

Xiao An, contrary to his previous timidity, bravely stood in front of his mother and said, "You have never treated us as your grandchildren."

Both men spoke words that were piercing to the heart, leaving the old lady stunned.

She never expected that her third son's wife, who was usually so quiet, would suddenly become so eloquent.

"You, you, you..."

The old woman's lips trembled with anger. She pointed a withered, tree-like finger at the two of them, her fingers trembling, "You've all gone too far! This is unfilial!"

"hehe……"

Su Xiulan laughed in anger again, "Unfilial? We're unfilial, then tell me, what exactly constitutes filial piety?"

"Your eldest brother's family moved away a long time ago. Have they ever cared for you for a single day? Have they ever given you a single penny? Your second brother's family is all in the village. Have they ever given you a single meal? You've been fed and cared for at my house, yet you still secretly take things from your second brother's house! Is this what you call being unfilial?"

"Life is tough for my family these days. Have you contributed a single penny to the household? Have you even given the children a bite to eat?"

"My Jianguo treats you like royalty. Whatever you wanted before, he always bought it for you. But what did you do after his accident? You actually told him to hurry up and die, to stop occupying the toilet without doing anything. You say we're unfilial, but have you ever treated my Jianguo well?"

With her own husband about to die, what is Su Xiulan still enduring?

A large crowd had gathered in the courtyard, all there to watch the spectacle.

"If you ask me, this old lady Gu is just spoiled by the third son's family. They feed her well and treat her well, but as a result, she never treats the third son's family like human beings!"

"It's only because Xiulan has a good temper; if it were someone else, they would have kicked her out long ago."

"Eating and drinking from the third brother's food, yet hoping for his death—how wicked!"

"Could the third child not be her biological son?"

Nuannuan, sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), was stunned. She had no idea that her new mother had suffered so much injustice.

I really want to help new mothers.

Nuannuan looked down at her unconscious father, blew on his face, and said, "Daddy, Mommy's being bullied! Get up and protect Mommy!"

The little guy's eyes were red with grievance, his nose was sore, and tears welled up in his eyes and fell straight onto Gu Jianguo's lips.

One drop, two drops...

No one was paying attention to what was happening here. The old lady was so embarrassed that she closed her eyes and pretended to faint.

However, before she could faint, a croaking sound suddenly came from above her head.

"What the heck...?"

pat!pat!

Several lumps of warm, unidentified substance were precisely smeared onto the old woman's face and head.

It was warm, freshly made crow droppings.

The old lady wiped her face, and the smell from her hands almost suffocated her.

Looking up, I saw several crows circling overhead, and one of them looked particularly familiar.

It had grayish-brown fur and a bald patch.

"It's you again, you wicked bird!"

The old lady was so angry that she started cursing, and the wounds on her wrist and ear still hurt.

She wanted to settle scores with the crow, but unexpectedly, it came to her on its own.

"Aaaaah, I'm going to kill you, you beast!"

The old woman grabbed her cane and hurled it at the crows in the air.

But the crows weren't afraid at all; the cane couldn't even reach them.

The lead crow swooped down, its sharp claws leaving a deep, bloody gash on the old woman's head.

Then, without lingering in the fight, it quickly took off, circled the old lady, and then seized another opportunity to swoop down.

This is simply a one-sided massacre!

The onlookers were stunned!

This isn't a crow; it's fiercer than an eagle.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, the crows had already vanished without a trace.

The old lady Gu, who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, had her hair disheveled, and her face and hands were covered in countless scratches, bloody and deep enough to expose the bone in some places.

The little girl had somehow slipped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and was leaning against the door, her big, dark eyes wide open, her mouth agape in shock.

Xiao An was also quite frightened.

Be nice!

Is this still the crow he knows?

When did crows become so powerful?

This is clearly... a fighting crow that punishes evil and promotes good!

He stole a glance at the little girl who was still peeking. It must have been his sister who did it!

So cool!

My little sister is amazing! If only she had the fighting power of a crow, she could protect Mom and our family so well.

Xiao An clenched his fists tightly; he wanted to become stronger too!
