Chapter 9: United as One

  Yang Lao Tou had just received a look from his wife, and he understood her intention. He quietly took a step back, picked up an object with his hand, and was ready to pounce into the fight at any moment, shouting insults as if to help his wife.

  "This cheap little thing, bought with two taels of silver, is useless and lazy. Two taels of silver are even too much for her. She loses face for Old Yang's family outside, and at home she dares to be so disrespectful to her mother-in-law. Even if you beat her to death, the Fang family wouldn't dare fart!"

  The Fang family, who can only make a living by selling their daughters, how dare they go against the Yang family for the sake of a worthless daughter?

  Yang Shoucai was fearless and unscrupulous.

  At this time, Jiuniang was pulled by Li so much that her scalp was numb, and her head was throbbing with pain. She also heard the old man Yang's scolding voice, anger and pain intertwined, feeling like she would have a mental breakdown in the next second.

  She no longer has any thoughts of seniority or inferiority in her mind, and she really wants to have a fierce battle with Li Shi, but at this moment, she finds that she is far from being Li Shi's opponent.

  Jiuniang's body was slender and weak, having been ill for several days, while Li Shi had a robust build and strong physique from years of farming, making her much stronger than Jiuniang.

  Hair was pulled back, head couldn't move, the whole person seemed to be pinched at the gate of life, completely in a state of being powerless and unable to fight back.

  Jiuniang clenched her teeth and thought resentfully: Li Shi, this dead old woman, unless you kill me here today, I will definitely take revenge on you!

  She took a deep breath, then gathered her strength in her right foot and, taking advantage of Li's unpreparedness, suddenly stomped on the back of her foot.

  Jiuniang was filled with anger and hatred at this moment. If possible, she really wanted to kick Li's foot and disable it.

  "Ahh——" The pain shooting up from the sole of her foot made Li shout out loud, and in a fit of rage, she was tempted to strangle Jiu Niang to death. But what happened next was beyond her expectation.

  Just as Jiuniang felt her ears buzzing and her head was about to split open, Li's hand, which had been tugging at her hair, loosened its grip.

  I thought it was my own foot that forced Li to let go, but apparently that's not what happened.

  "Chu Dongyang, you little beast, let go quickly!" Old Man Yang shouted loudly, pointing at Chu Dongyang as he saw the situation turn around.

  In response to Old Man Yang's not-so-threatening shout, Chu Dongyang didn't even raise an eyebrow, his pair of cold and stern eyes shot straight at Li Shi, with a fierce aura.

  Li was stronger than Jiu Niang, but at this moment, she was pinched by Chu Dongyang's wrist, just like being locked by an iron hoop, and couldn't struggle free. Moreover, the pain made her face pale.

  Jiuniang's appearance at this time was like a madman, her numb and dazed eyes opened to look back, only to see Li Shi's wrist being pinched by Chu Dongyang. With a "crack" sound, Li Shi let out a loud cry and was thrown to the ground.

  "You scoundrel, how dare you lay hands on your mother! This is utterly unfilial and will bring heavenly wrath upon you!" Old Man Yang was shocked, enraged, and furious as he saw Li being thrown to the ground, wailing in pain.

  I didn't expect Chu Dongyang, this stinky brat, to actually dare to take action, it's really outrageous!

  Yang Lao took the things in his hand, wanting to rush over and teach him a lesson, but with Li's precedent, he didn't dare to rush over and fight with Chu Dongyang either. Even though Chu Dongyang was injured, Yang Lao still feared his intimidating aura, so he could only take the things in his hand and randomly smash them around, not sparing any of the pots, bowls, or plates nearby.

  A loud crash and clang, the kitchen was in a state of utter chaos.

  At this time, Guo's wife, who had been hiding outside, heard the commotion and could no longer bear it, rushing into the kitchen.

  "Oh no, how did Mother end up on the ground? Could it be that Big Brother hit her?" Guo Shi had already clearly heard what was going on from outside, but still intentionally asked this.

  "Ah yo, ah yo! This murderous wolf cub is going to beat his poor mother to death!" Li Shi wailed loudly, rolling on the ground.

  The Guo family was often scolded by the Li family, but now seeing her so disheveled, he suddenly felt relieved in his heart, but on the surface, he made a tragic and indignant expression as if he wanted to help the Li family peel off the Chu Dongyang couple.

  She rushed over to help Mrs. Li up, scolding: "Old lady, you've really raised a white-eyed wolf! Poor you still pity him for hurting his leg and having no one to take care of him, spending money to buy him a wife, and he treats you like this! This ungrateful and treacherous person should die and go to hell!"

  Jiuniang was protected by Chudongyang on one side, and after recovering a bit, she heard Guoshi's words and really laughed with anger.

  It's really not a family that doesn't enter one door, this extreme also likes to gather in groups, and the brain circuit is all the same. Normal people can't communicate with them at all, because they will use their powerful and ridiculous arguments to defeat you!

  Jiuniang watched these three people performing with all their might like a trio of clowns, and she was extremely frustrated.

  This is really awesome!

  If every day in the future is going to be oppressed by such a scumbag, then it's really too unhappy to live!

  Suddenly, the table next to them was lifted up and smashed towards the three of them. With a loud crash, the table was smashed to pieces, leaving the three people stunned.

  Although Chu Dongyang was angry, he still had a sense of proportion and didn't intend to kill them. He just wanted to scare them and warn them.

  The kitchen finally calmed down, Chu Dongyang's cold eyes swept over their shocked and terrified faces, and he said in a low voice: "I'm not a bad person, but I'm also not someone who can be bullied by anyone. If you continue to make trouble like this, this table will be your fate. Don't try to use worldly morals to pressure me, I don't follow that rule!"

  "How dare you!" Yang Lao and Guo Shi stared at the shattered table, suddenly speechless and afraid to make another sound, only Li Shi let out a series of angry hums.

  "Why not dare? If you don't believe it, you can try again!" Chu Dongyang sneered and glanced at Li sideways, saying coldly.

  Li had never been insulted like this before. But as soon as she got angry, the severe pain in her hand made her break out in a cold sweat on her back.

  Chu Dongyang is really daring, he actually did it!

  At this time, a hurried and disorderly footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

  It was the neighbor who heard the noise in their house and ran to call the village chief.

  The head of a village, speaking with authority, even Li's family was somewhat intimidated by the village chief.

  "What are you doing?" The village chief was surrounded by more than a dozen people and walked in, seeing this scene, he also frowned.

  "Head of the village, you've finally arrived, quickly take charge for us! The son I raised wants to beat his old mother to death—" Li cried out again, hugging her legs.

  "Shut up!" The village chief scolded loudly with a dark face, "All the neighbors have told me, do you still want to make things up? Dongyang is such a good child, how can you treat him like this, you are the one who is cruel and heartless!"

  The village head pointed at Yang Shoucai, saying angrily: "And you, it's one thing if you can't even manage your own wife and let her cause trouble, but you're actually helping her make a scene, what a shame to the Yang family!"

  Yang Shoucai was scolded by the village head, rubbing his hands and unable to say a word, his face flushed with shame.

  "Who gave the silver for the good field your family bought two years ago? Who gave the silver for the new house you moved into this year? The high-priced private school that Xiaoxian attends, who gave the silver for the fine brushes and inkstones? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" The village head turned around to glance at Chudong Yang before continuing, "With the way you treat him, this favor of raising him has become light and insignificant. He doesn't owe you anything now."

  Li and Old Man Yang grumbled, unwilling to accept it. But with the village chief standing in front of them, plus the neighbors echoing the chief's words and even blaming them, they didn't dare make a fuss. They grumbled for a while before saying, "How can we not owe? This house is still ours! Unless they move out from here!"
