The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The eldest and second daughters-in-law, who were watching the commotion while eating melon seeds, laughed. "Oh my, that little girl from the third branch is really bold; she actually pushed the old lady down."

This matter must be discussed in the village, and this unfilial daughter should be publicized so that the Fang family will quickly cancel the engagement.

Both families have daughters, so the young scholar could potentially become their son-in-law.

The two rushed to help the old lady up from the ground and then collectively denounced Su Qianqian.

The second son's wife had a long, thin face, thick eyebrows, and small, beady eyes. She looked quite shrewd, and her speech was more tactful than the eldest son's wife's: "Oh dear, Qian, you're too rude. Grandma, are you alright?"

The old lady had a sore back and rolled her eyes: Do I look like I'm fine?

I have something to do, a very important thing. Today I must beat that little slut from the third wife to death.

The eldest daughter-in-law was a relative of the old lady's family, so she naturally took the initiative to defend her. With her hands on her hips and her feet on the ground, she looked exactly like a shrew cursing in the street.

"You brat, someone like you who dares to disobey their elders deserves to go to jail. Aren't you afraid we'll drag you to the authorities?"

Su Qianqian was truly amazed to discover that she had transmigrated into such a bizarre family. "Very well, I'll wait and see if you have the ability to drag me to the county government."

The eldest son's wife and the second son's wife spent the whole night helping the old lady find gold earrings and silver hairpins. Today, they have such dark circles under their eyes that they look like giant pandas.

There was only one bronze mirror in the house, in the old lady's room, so neither the eldest son's wife nor the second son's wife knew how ridiculous they looked! Instead of catching up on sleep, these two had time to chat idly here!

Since that's the case, let's scare them a little.

Su Qianqian picked up a piece of wood from the ground and snapped it in two.

"Aunt, I advise you to shut your mouth. I've already been unfilial, so I don't care about hitting one more. Do you want to test how hard my fists are?"

The horrifying sight of breaking a stick with bare hands terrified the eldest son's wife, causing her to back away repeatedly, scattering the sunflower seeds she hadn't finished eating all over the ground.

It's terrifying. The old lady never lets this girl eat her fill. She's so thin and weak, I don't know where she gets her strength from.

Or perhaps this child was born strong, but because she never resisted before, people thought she was a pushover.

The second son's wife looked relieved. Luckily, she hadn't spoken harshly and had left room for maneuver, so they could meet again in the future.

I need to talk to the second son and the children later. They shouldn't be too harsh on the third branch of the family on the surface. They should just do bad things in secret. After all, Qianqian is a really troublesome girl.

Grandma Su hadn't noticed that her silver earrings were missing, but her second son's wife had. However, she was shrewd and didn't want to say anything, otherwise she would be ordered to look for the earrings again.

I might not be able to sleep tonight either.

Grandma Su was helped to sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard by her two daughters-in-law, and it took her a long time to recover.

The two daughters-in-law were afraid of this brat, but the old lady wasn't afraid at all. She didn't believe the girl would dare to lay a hand on her again.

A granddaughter hitting her own grandmother is a grave act of filial impiety; if reported to the authorities, she will be punished with a beating.

Moreover, she controls all the food and money in the family, giving her absolute authority within the Su family.

No matter how capable you are, your father and mother are submissive. If you dare to hit me, I'll get my revenge on your parents.

Grandma Su was very confident and raised her voice to scold, "You little slut, not only are you lazy and don't work, but you also dare to hit your elders. I'm punishing you by not letting you eat for three days. Go and dig wild vegetables for me right now. If you can't find any, I'll sell you to buy food."

Ignoring the old lady's curses, Su Qianqian carefully examined Xiao Bao's knee wound. Fortunately, it wasn't very deep, and the bleeding had stopped.

What kind of grandmother is this? How could she be so cruel to her own grandson? Even her enemies wouldn't be this ruthless.

At this time, Gu went to the river to wash clothes. She had to wash clothes for more than 20 people in the family, and her hands were already raw from washing.

Su Bing was assigned by the old lady to hoe the fields, working from dawn till dusk. After all, the eldest and second sons' families didn't do any work, and the whole family's fields depended on Su Bing to do it all.

The whole family is sucking the blood of the third wife.

Su Qianqian looked at her older brother, who was already twenty-two years old. His face was sallow, and he looked malnourished.

The old lady had already asked someone to introduce several girls to Su Fugui, the 18-year-old second son of the eldest son's family. She heard that the dowry of 5 taels of silver had already been sent to the girl's family.

That five taels of silver was Gu's dowry. She used the money from the third branch of the family to help the eldest branch's son get married, but she ignored Su Ping'an, who was already twenty-two years old and still hadn't found a wife.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, a man who hadn't married by the age of twenty-two was considered old and would be ridiculed.

Su Qianqian was seven years younger than her older brother. In fact, before Su Ping'an and before Su Qianqian, Gu Shi had another child, but unfortunately, she slipped and fell by the river while washing clothes in winter, and the child died before it was full term.

Gu cried for a long time because of this, and the attempt to separate the family property failed.

But it's okay, with me here, this family will definitely be able to be divided.

After the family splits up, Dad and Mom will no longer have to work non-stop like robots.

When the government's reward money is received, the first thing to do is to help my elder brother find a wife, and then no one will dare to laugh at him for being an old bachelor.

At that moment, a scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from the Fang family's house on the north side of the village.

It was Mrs. Sun. She got up to feed the cows, but found that the cows were gone.

Those two big yellow oxen were worth more than twenty taels of silver together. Even if the poor villagers worked themselves to death their whole lives, they couldn't afford an ox. This shows how precious the big yellow oxen were in the village.

When Mrs. Sun went to the kitchen, she found it empty. All the pots, pans, and utensils were gone, and there was nothing left. It seemed she wouldn't be able to have breakfast.

What angered her even more was that the family heirloom hidden in the kitchen wall was gone. It was an inkstone made by a famous craftsman and had been passed down for several generations.

During the most difficult period, she only thought about swindling money from the third branch of the Su family to make ends meet, and she couldn't bear to sell the Fang family's heirloom.

They were only waiting for Fang Cheng to pass the imperial examination and need to bribe officials before using them to give away.

That damned bastard! Who stole the Fang family's treasure?!

Sun was so angry she was about to vomit blood. With her hair disheveled, she sat down at her doorstep and started cursing.

They curse east and west, curse heaven and earth, they curse whatever is most offensive.

"Damn it, who stole my cow and my family heirloom?!"

The village's shrew, Sister Orchid, was delighted to hear this and said to her husband, "You always say I'm shrewish, but I think Aunt Sun is the real deal. Look at her, she can curse for the duration of an incense stick burning without repeating herself, tsk tsk tsk..."

Su Qianqian could hear the distant wailing and howling of Madam Sun even while she was in the Su family's courtyard, which felt incredibly satisfying.

Before long, Fang Yingxue arrived at the Su family's residence.

Fang Yingxue's face was swollen like a steamed bun, but she didn't forget to wear fresh flowers in her hair, freshly picked today, looking delicate and beautiful, she was so vain.

The little girl's fingers were fair and slender, but unfortunately her movements were rough; her index finger was almost touching Su Qianqian's forehead. This gesture was completely inherited from her mother, Sun, and the hand gesture was exactly the same.

"You brat, both of my old oxen are gone, and my family heirloom is missing too. You must have stolen them."

Su Qianqian disliked having her forehead pointed at the most. "Fang Yingxue, if you don't want your fingers anymore, I'll break them off for you."

Fang Yingxue was still shaken by the beating she received last night and quickly withdrew her hand.

She felt that Su Qianqian was completely different from before; the current Su Qianqian was capable of anything.

Fang Yingxue came to the Su family because of something that had gone missing from her home.

She had already thought it through on her way here: the Fang family only had a grudge against Su Qianqian, and the two families had even fought yesterday.

It must be that Su Qianqian resented her brother for selling her to human traffickers, which is why she stole the Fang family's old ox and family heirloom. That must be it.

A single ox costs more than ten taels of silver, so two oxen would cost more than twenty taels.

Even family heirlooms are worth several hundred taels of silver.

Fang Yingxue's heart bled at the thought of the family heirloom worth several hundred taels of silver; it was enough to buy a lot of rouge, face powder, and beautiful clothes.

That Su Qianqian is so hateful! You're not good enough for my brother at all! Why didn't you just obediently let yourself be sold? Why did you have to come back? Why don't you just die!

The poor brother, fearing he would be implicated in the abduction, didn't even sleep and rushed back to the county town overnight to gather information.

My brother's new fiancée is the county magistrate's niece, so I'm sure my brother will be alright.
