Old Mrs. Song is reborn; get out of here, you scumbag husband and illegitimate child!

When the two ran to the two dilapidated wooden doors of the Tang family.

A crowd had already gathered in the courtyard.

The motorcycle was parked outside, which attracted a few children who tried to touch the seat, earning them a scolding from their parents: "If you break it, we couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sold you."

Nie Dahua, Chunxia, ​​and Nie Xiaochuan stood in the courtyard.

Xiuhong hid behind Tang Datian, keeping her head down and remaining silent.

Tang Datian, wearing a tattered vest, warily stared at the three uninvited guests.

"This place is really simple," Nie Dahua said, looking around.

Half of the courtyard wall had collapsed, and it was being propped up with peeled tree branches. A few tattered tarpaulins covered the kitchen roof. The chicken coop was simply surrounded by branches and covered with straw.

Really poor.

It was even more dilapidated than the poorest family in Niejiazhuang.

Chunxia scoffed from the side, "With conditions like these, it's no wonder Xiuhong was so desperate to send Brother Wentao back to our Nie Family Village. Two more mouths and the roof would collapse from all that eating."

Tang Datian's expression changed.

"What are you Nie family members doing here? If it weren't for supporting you Nie family members, our family wouldn't be so poor. Xiuhong went to see those two freeloaders off yesterday; wasn't the matter settled?"

"Who told you it was all taken care of?" Nie Xiaochuan took a step forward. "Brother Wentao is a member of the Nie family, so of course we'll stay. But we're not here today for Brother Wentao."

Da Hua looked at Xiu Hong.

"Xiuhong, where's Xiaoyan?"

Xiuhong trembled and lowered her head even further.

"Cutting pig feed in the field..."

"Call Xiaoyan back!" Dahua raised her voice. "We're here today to take Xiaoyan back to Nie Family Village."

These words caused an uproar in the courtyard.

The villagers who were watching the spectacle pointed and whispered.

Tang Datian was taken aback at first, then his face darkened and he glared fiercely at Xiuhong.

That wretched woman conspired with outsiders to get rid of Xiao Yan, the girl they were supposed to marry.

"Bullshit. Xiao Yan has been eating my Tang family's food until she was twenty-one. You think you can just take her away with a few words? No way."

Tang Datian stared wide-eyed.

"Want to take her away? Fine. Hand over the money. I've raised her for almost twenty years; even if I haven't done anything great, I've still put in the effort."

"How much money do you want?" Da Hua looked at him coldly.

"One thousand yuan." Tang Datian demanded an exorbitant sum. "Not a penny less, and you can't take her away. How much money and effort did I spend raising this girl?"

Ogawa laughed in exasperation.

"A thousand dollars? Go ask around in town, you can make money faster than robbing a bank."

"I don't have a thousand yuan." Chunxia put her hands on her hips. "My fifth brother died and left behind several children. Xiuhong receives a subsidy every month, plus the pension she received back then."

Xiao Yan and her two siblings have worked since they were little, don't talk to me about money to support them. We have to take Xiao Yan with us. If you want to use Xiao Yan as a bride price to build a house for your son, you're dreaming. You old bastard, don't push your luck.

Tang Datian was furious when he heard that his trump card had been exposed.

He turned around, grabbed Xiuhong's hair, and yanked it hard.

"You wretch! What nonsense did you spout when you went to Nie Family Village yesterday?"

Xiuhong screamed as she was pulled, covering her head with her hands, tears streaming down her face from the pain. "I didn't... Datian, don't hit me, I really didn't say anything. I'm in cahoots with you!"

Nie Dahua was furious.

He rushed up and shoved Tang Datian aside, even taking the opportunity to kick him.

She shielded Xiuhong behind her.

"You dare to beat your wife in front of the Nie family? You cowardly bully who's only brave at home!" Da Hua pointed at Tang Datian's nose. "I'm telling you, we have to take Xiao Yan away today. If you dare to lay a hand on her again, my fists won't be blind."

Nie Xiaochuan cooperated by clenching his fist, his knuckles cracking.

Tang Datian's three sons, Daping, Erping, and Sanping, rushed out of the house.

The three young men were holding wooden sticks and shovels.

"Who dares to take Xiaoyan away?" Da Ping pointed a shovel at Xiao Chuan. "This is Tang family territory. Who do you think you are?"

Ogawa didn't take these three skinny, weak-legged shrimp seriously at all.

He grabbed the handle of the shovel in Da Ping's hand and pulled hard.

Da Ping lost his footing and fell flat on his face.

"Get out of my way." Xiao Chuan glared at the group. "Want to fight? When I, Nie Xiao Chuan, was in this business, you weren't even fully grown up yet."

Xiao Yan and Yue Na, who had just run to the gate of the courtyard, saw this scene clearly.

Xiao Yan burst into tears.

In all these years, no one has ever protected her like this.

Even her own mother didn't dare say a word against these men, and she couldn't protect her own mother either.

Yuena gave Xiaoyan a push. "Go on. Your relatives are here to pick you up; you must leave with them today."

Xiao Yan turned to look at Yue Na.

Yuena smiled at her, her eyes full of encouragement and joy. It was a blessing and happiness for her good younger sister's future.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, pushed through the crowd, and rushed in.

"I am Xiaoyan, I will go with you." Xiaoyan stood in front of Nie Dahua and shouted loudly.

Tang Datian's eyes widened. "You dare take even half a step? I'll break your legs!"

Da Hua grabbed Xiao Yan's hand and pulled her behind her.

"With us here, let's see who dares to lay a finger on you today. We'll burn this dilapidated house down and leave your whole family to live in the wilderness."

"If you want to take her away, bring me a thousand yuan." Tang Datian held a shovel, his face full of roguishness.

Big Flower shielded Little Swallow behind her.

Chunxia stepped forward.

Chunxia suddenly had a handkerchief in her hand, containing a small handful of pumpkin seeds. She picked one up, popped it into her mouth, and cracked it open with a "crack," spitting the shell directly into the muddy ground at Tang Datian's feet. Her eyes were full of disgust, almost blinding Tang Datian.

"Tsk tsk tsk... baring your teeth, grinning, triangular head, bow legs." Chunxia pointed at Tang Datian's face, "You look like a stonefish nesting in a hole. Did you drink pesticide and not see tomorrow? With your resentment, you could be made into a horror movie even if you didn't die."

Tang Datian:......

Did this woman drink pesticide?

"You bunch of poor wretches, you're just hoping to make yourselves rich with this kid, aren't you?" Chunxia spat on the ground. "Money can't make the poor rich, and elixirs can't cure your jealousy. You're just as poor as Qianerdeng."

Tang Datian's face turned a deep shade of liver. "You woman, you're spewing filth."

"See, you're getting anxious now that I've hit the nail on the head?" Chunxia stuffed her handkerchief into her pocket, glanced disdainfully around the drafty, dilapidated courtyard, and said, "You're just an old widower who drove your first wife to her death and left behind four children. Only a fool like Xiuhong would be interested in you."

A murmur rippled through the crowd.

Everyone in the village knew about Tang Datian's wife jumping into the river.

Chunxia got more and more into her rant:

"Xiuhong has the pension from Lao Wu, and she also receives subsidies from the government every year to support her children. Those two sons are treated like slaves in your family, and they're as thin as sticks."

Even just standing here like that, he's better than your sons who only eat and do nothing.

You demanded subsidies and compensation from others, and now you want to extort child support from us too. Do you think you're the sun? The earth and moon revolve around you, and even the leaves on the trees outside your door don't flutter as much as you.

You've lost all conscience; even a dog wouldn't taste as good as shit. You check every fart to make sure there's no poop on it. Our family's wealth didn't come from thin air. We'd rather give to a beggar than to a dung beetle like you.

The villagers listened with great interest.

Some people chimed in, saying, "Datian, that's not fair of you. She brought money with her when she married into the family."

"Xiao Yan's life in your house is worse than that of a beggar."

"What did I get in return?" Tang Datian roared, slamming his shovel on the ground. "Those three kids have three mouths to feed, how much rice do they eat from me all year round? How much effort did I put in?"

Big Flower sneered:

"Wen Tao and Wen Qiang do the work in the fields, while Xiao Yan takes care of everything at home. What did you contribute? Did you even lift a finger?"

Tang Datian retorted, his neck stiff:

"I've raised three outsiders, and I'm still losing money. Besides, the pension and subsidies are all in Xiuhong's hands. If she has money to support the three Nie family members, at most she can subsidize the children she has later. Those three children aren't just my children."

That's a statement made with absolute certainty.

Even Xiuhong looked up, staring at Tang Datian in disbelief.

"Datian...how could you say that?" Xiuhong's tears fell. "Didn't all my money go to buying food for the family?"

"Shut up!" Tang Datian glared at her. "Useless spendthrift woman, getting people to block your house and yell at you."
