As soon as Sister-in-law Shen spoke, Xu Qinghe realized the danger and turned around to push the two children into the house.
"Go inside quickly, lock the door, and don't let anyone open it unless I call you."
Shen Chengyue also sensed the danger, glanced at Xu Qinghe with concern, and was then pushed into the house.
Xu Qinghe steadied herself before saying to the door, "Sister-in-law! Shen Zhi isn't home. Please come back this afternoon."
Sister-in-law Shen's face stiffened, and she continued, "I'm not looking for him, I'm here to see you. Open the door for me first."
Xu Qinghe refused again, "No, it's inconvenient for me to be home alone."
Wang Mingliang, dressed smartly, saw that Xu Qinghe was slow to open the door and became anxious. "Sister, why are you wasting your breath talking to her? I'll just kick the door open." He then went to kick the door.
Because it's an old house, the door was already flimsy, and it started to loosen after being kicked like that.
Wang Mingliang quickly followed up with a second kick, and with a bang, the door slammed to the ground.
Xu Qinghe had picked up a hoe from the corner when they kicked down the door. She was now looking at the group outside with a tense expression and shouted sharply, "What are you trying to do!"
Sister-in-law Shen immediately gave a forced smile, "What else can I do? Pick you up and take you home!"
"Look at you, a mere maidservant bought by Shen Zhi, how dare you act like a big shot in our family."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were really our second son's wife!"
"Alright, anyway, the money the second brother used was saved for my brother's wedding. Since we've bought you, we'll reluctantly make you my sister-in-law!"
"What? Are you going to leave on your own, or are we going to kidnap you?"
Xu Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that she had said in front of everyone that morning that she was a maid.
She meant well, fearing that taking up Shen Zhi's position as his wife would delay his marriage, but she never expected to be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
"I am indeed a maid that Shen Zhi bought, but I have nothing to do with you. You'd better stay away from me, or don't blame me for not recognizing people with this hoe."
Upon hearing this, Wang Mingliang immediately grinned slyly, "Quite feisty."
"Then let me see just how indiscriminate your hoe can be." After saying that, he winked at his companions and began to approach Xu Qinghe step by step.
Xu Qinghe gripped the hoe tightly and swung it without hesitation the moment Wang Mingliang approached. But she was alone, while Wang Mingliang had four big men on his side. In no time, Xu Qinghe was pinned down.
Wang Mingliang looked at Xu Qinghe, who was struggling in his arms, and said contemptuously, "Pretty feisty, huh? When we get back, I'll show you what I'm capable of." As he spoke, he leaned close to Xu Qinghe's ear to sniff.
Xu Qinghe struggled with disgust, her eyes filled with resentment.
Just then, Shen Chengyue suddenly ran out of the house, went up and shoved Wang Mingliang, "Let go of my aunt."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Mingliang kicked him away, yelling, "Get out of here, you blind fool!"
Sister-in-law Shen, standing to the side, also showed a hint of disdain. Then she took a liking to the clothes Shen Chengyue was wearing. "This little brat, when did he get such nice clothes? Hurry up and take them off so Jinbao can wear them."
Shen Chengyue clung tightly to his clothes, refusing to let his sister-in-law take them off, and was even slapped twice by her. Xu Qinghe was so angry that her eyes widened in fury.
"Let him go! Come at me if you dare."
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen not only refused to let go, but also kept beating Shen Chengyue while Xu Qinghe was watching. At that moment, Xu Qinghe felt like biting Sister-in-law Shen to death.
Seeing her struggle, Wang Mingliang simply had someone cover her mouth with a cloth.
As the suona horn sounded, more and more people gathered at the entrance to watch the spectacle. The moment Aunt Shen saw Old Wang's house, she began to instruct her grandson to go to the garrison to call for help.
She herself stepped forward immediately, saying, "Hey, eldest sister, what are you doing?"
When Sister-in-law Shen saw that it was Aunt Shen who stepped forward, a hint of disdain flashed across her lips. "Auntie! Isn't she here to help my brother find a wife?"
"What's wrong? Are you going to give a gift and drink?"
Aunt Shen said, "Why would I drink alcohol? This woman is your brother's wife, so just marry her."
Sister-in-law Shen said dismissively, "What's wrong with it? Is it wrong for my brother-in-law to use my money to get a wife for my brother?"
"Besides, our two families have been separated for so long, and my mother doesn't care about us at all. Why are you worrying about this?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen immediately turned her gloomy gaze toward Shen's mother, only to see Shen's mother simply turn her head away, refusing to even look at her.
Shen's mother: She must be crazy to take the lead like that. Didn't she see how many family members her eldest daughter-in-law brought?
Seeing that Mrs. Shen wasn't taking any action, Aunt Shen could only continue, "Whether I worry about it or not, these are Shen Zhi's people after all. You should ask him, shouldn't you?"
Sister-in-law Shen said, "I've asked him, and he agreed yesterday." After saying that, she started winking at her brother.
Upon seeing this, Wang Mingliang grabbed Xu Qinghe and headed out of the courtyard. As they left, he bumped into Aunt Shen and threatened her, "Old woman, mind your own business." Then he pulled Xu Qinghe away without looking back.
As soon as Sister-in-law Shen saw them, she immediately followed with a smile. The once noisy courtyard became quiet after they left.
Shen Chengyue was stripped naked by his sister-in-law and curled up on the ground. Shen's mother felt heartbroken and rushed over to pick him up, crying, "Silly child, why did you run out?"
Even so, Shen Chengyue didn't forget to beg her, "Grandma, please save my aunt."
Aunt Shen's tears fell like rain, "Help, help, I've sent your brother to call your father."
"I'll carry you inside." He said, and carried her inside.
But she was getting on in years, and she walked very slowly with each step.
Just then, Shen's mother, who had been hiding like a turtle, suddenly rushed in from outside, saying as she rushed into the house, "Has the second son struck it rich these past few days? He's dressing the little brat in such nice clothes. I'll see what else he has in there." After saying that, she went into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Shen beamed with joy. "This second son has really struck it rich! Such a nice quilt was given to that little slut to use. No way, I have to take it all back." With that, she started packing her things.
As soon as Aunt Shen entered the door, her face darkened. "Aren't you afraid of getting retribution for doing this?"
Shen's mother remained unmoved, saying, "He's my own son, what retribution am I afraid of?" With that, she ransacked their house.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhigang, who was in the garrison, had repelled a wave of enemies outside the border and was resting against the wall.
Then his friend Chen Feng said, "You're in great shape lately! You're holding your own against so many people."
"I've noticed our commander is looking at you differently now. Tell me, have you been secretly practicing?"
Shen Zhi: "No, maybe it's because I've been eating too much lately."
Chen Feng glanced at Shen Zhi and asked curiously, "Are you full? What happened? A few days ago you were borrowing food everywhere."
