Xing'er and her two brothers pricked up their ears and continued to listen.

It would have been better if they hadn't listened.

The three of them grew angrier the more they listened.

It turns out that what they heard at home and what they heard here were both simplified versions.

The eldest sister not only had to do her own housework, but also work for her mother-in-law's sister's family. Her hands were worn out from washing clothes, but no one cared. She was always hungry and cold.

They were frequently herded by the men to live in the cowshed.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Li Dashan was so angry that he was about to go forward and ask what was going on.

Xing'er quickly stopped him, "Brother, don't go."

"Third sister, they...they are really bullying us."

Both Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Xing'er calmed herself down and said nothing. Following the information she had received, she headed to her eldest sister's house. Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan followed closely behind her. The villagers noticed the stranger.

"Who are these people?"

"What are they doing in our village?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're a relative?"

"It's hard to say."

"Could they be a relative of Xuecai's wife?"

"That's impossible. If they were going to come, they would have come long ago. Otherwise, why haven't they come in three years?"

Xing'er ignored what they were saying. She had already drawn a map of the village at the foot of the mountain in her mind. Now she followed the map in her mind, turning left and right, and walking into the bamboo forest.

It took about 15 minutes to walk.

Walk along the back path of a house until you reach a tree, then turn right and you'll arrive.

Don't say it.

The economy of Shanshan Village is indeed better than that of Xinghua Village.

Most of the houses in the village are made of earthen walls, some of which are covered with small blue tiles, but Xinghua Village is mostly made of thatched houses and low earthen walls.

Autumn has arrived.

It's cool in the mornings and evenings, but the sun is strong during the day, yet it feels warm on your skin.

She walked quickly ahead, with her two older brothers following behind. Before they got close, a series of shouts and curses suddenly came from ahead.

"Get up right now, what are you pretending for?"

"Li Chunhua, let me tell you, if you don't get up and work, this thing I'm holding isn't something to be trifled with."

"Mother...it's me!"

"I...I really have no strength left."

Li Chunhua huddled in the northwest corner of the yard, feeling weak all over and without any strength. She felt hot all over, her lips were covered with a layer of white skin, and her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Xing'er's face turned cold upon hearing this.

really.

No one was exaggerating at all.

She ran over quickly, and as soon as she entered, she saw an old woman with triangular eyes pointing at the older sister with a stick about the size of a thumb.

The eldest sister huddled pitifully in the corner.

His eyes were filled with terror and helplessness.

Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan also ran inside.

Xing'er walked over and kicked over the pickled radishes on the winnowing basket in the yard.

"Bang!"

The loud noise startled everyone in the courtyard.

Granny Liu was taken aback at first, then turned to look at the three young men who had suddenly appeared in the yard. Her face hardened, and she began to shout and curse, brandishing a stick:

"Who are you?"

"How dare you come to my house and cause trouble in broad daylight? Do you have a death wish?"

Xing'er didn't waste any more words with her.

She walked over and slapped Granny Liu hard across the face.

"Snap!"

Granny Liu felt a sharp pain on her face and was completely stunned. She slumped to the ground, looking at the three bewildered people, and then began to shout:

"Oh no, the robbers are here!"

"Hurry! Robbers are killing people!"

"Help! Help!"

She screamed and yelled at the top of her lungs.

Xing'er quickly reached out and helped the older woman in the corner to her feet.

With this support, she felt as if her older sister was skin and bones. Looking up, she saw that her older sister's eyes were sunken, her face was sallow, her hands were like chicken claws, and her face was covered with wrinkles. She looked older than her mother-in-law.

"Big sister, come home with me."

Li Chunhua stood up shakily, looking at the girl and boy in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs:

"Third...Third Sister!"

"Eldest brother, second brother, you...you've finally arrived."

"I've been looking forward to your visits every day! My older sister can't take it anymore, she really can't take it anymore. She beats me every day, and your brother-in-law torments me every day too. I want to die...!"

Da Shan was heartbroken to see his sister so thin and frail. He was so angry that his lips trembled, and he pointed at Old Lady Liu, cursing:

"You old hag, you're not human! My eldest sister has been bullied like this by you all, do you really think the Li family has no one left?"

"We're taking her away today!"

Old Mrs. Liu was wailing when she heard the three of them talking and immediately understood that it was her daughter-in-law's family who had come.

Instead of feeling guilty when her family members arrived, she became even more arrogant.

She pointed at Li Xing'er and cursed:

"You little hussy, who is it? It turns out to be that jinx's sister."

She only managed to utter one curse.

Li Dashan had already slapped him across the face.

"Snap!"

"Damn old woman, we haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already cursing my third sister. If you curse her again, do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?"

Granny Liu had never been treated like this before. She charged towards Li Dashan like an ox, but unfortunately, Li Dashan was a young man and dodged quickly, avoiding being touched by her.

Xing'er called out to her second brother:

"Second brother, tear this house down!"

Li Xiaoshan nodded, and he first overturned all the persimmons and radishes drying in the yard.

They then entered the main room and started smashing things.

It slammed down with loud "bang, bang, bang".

Seeing this, Granny Liu became furious and shouted, then lunged at Li Xing'er again.

"You damn little bitch, I'll beat you to death!"

Xing'er, seeing Liu Pozi delivered herself to her doorstep, remained completely unfazed. She turned around and kicked Liu Pozi away, then helped her elder sister up and sat her down under the eaves. She then ran to the courtyard, grabbed Liu Pozi by the hair, and began to berate her:

"You shameless old man, don't think you're strong just because you bullied my sister. You'll see what happens when you meet me!"

"I'm going to pluck all your fur off today!"

After saying that, she frantically pulled on Old Lady Liu's hair, tugging it hard in handfuls, causing Old Lady Liu to scream in pain.

"Ouch, murder!"

"Help! Someone, please help!"

Granny Liu was being dragged by her hair and could barely stand. When Li Chunhua saw her third sister and two younger brothers standing up for her, her tears stopped instantly. "Third sister, she's the one who bullied me! Hit...hit her!"

Granny Liu was furious when she heard her daughter-in-law's words, and she shouted:

"Someone come here!"

"Help! Something terrible has happened! Chunhua's family is attacking someone!"

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

"Ouch....!"

The neighbors heard the howling coming from Aunt Liu's house and rushed over.

Xing'er only let go of her hand when she saw someone coming.

The villagers took a closer look.

It turned out that three young men had come to Aunt Liu's yard. As for Aunt Liu, a large bald patch had appeared on her scalp, her clothes had been torn, and there were obvious handprints on her face.

Someone with a mischievous streak deliberately asked:

"Xuecai's mother, what's wrong with you?"
