The Xu Village.
Li Qingyin’s children, Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin, sold their dumpling leaves as usual and went home happily.
Just as they reached the door, they heard a commotion…
Xu Fangjun’s voice was fierce as he threatened, “Li Qingyin, hand over the money. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs!”
Li Qingyin said loudly, “We’ve already split up the Xu family. Why should we hand over the money to you?”
Xu Fangjun’s wife, Chen Ruifeng, said impatiently, “Li Qingyin, you can’t say that. Although you’ve split up from the family, Father and Mother are living with us now. Shouldn’t you contribute a little?”
Li Qingyin argued, “I can contribute some money to support Father in law and mother in law, but you can’t force me to take out all my money. Let me tell you, it’s not going to happen!”
Xu Fangjun said, “We’re only asking you for ten taels of silver. When did we ask you for all your money? Li Qingyin, your third sister is very rich. If you don’t want to fork out the money, go and ask her for it. She will definitely give it to you.”
Li Qingyin glared at Xu Fangjun. “Even if my third sister has money, why should she give it to me? Get out of my house, or I’ll hack you to death.”
Life had made her a shrew. If anyone dared to touch her money now, she would fight with her life.
Xu Fangjun acted like a rascal. “Alright, go ahead and chop me. If you chop me, I’ll chop your son. Try it.”
Chen Ruifeng snorted and threatened, “Li Qingyin, we’re just asking you for some money to support the elders. If you don’t give it to us, you’ll be unfilial. Being unfilial is a crime. You’ll be chased out of the village!”
Li Qingyin was very stubborn. “Alright, let’s go to the village chief and let him judge.”
Xu Fangjun did not expect Li Qingyin to be unafraid. In that case, he would use the hard way.
He gave Chen Ruifeng a look. Then, Chen Ruifeng pounced on Li Qingyin and restrained her while Xu Fangjun ran into the house to search for money.
They were really no different from bandits.
Li Qingyin struggled violently as she shouted, “Xu Fangjun, stop, stop!”
Xu Fangjun turned a deaf ear and kept rummaging through the room…
“Stop!” Xu Songnian rushed in with a sickle in his hand. “Let go of my mother, or I’ll kill you!”
Xu Wenlin rushed over, grabbed Chen Ruifeng’s arm with both hands, and bit her hard…
“Ouch…” Chen Ruifeng was in pain. She was furious and kicked Xu Wenlin in the stomach. The little girl was kicked to the side. Her temple hit the side of the stool and she fainted.
“Wenlin, Wenlin…” Li Qingyin almost went crazy when she saw this scene. She punched and kicked, and finally bit Chen Ruifeng’s hand…
Chen Ruifeng finally let go. “B*tch!”
Li Qingyin broke free and immediately rushed to Xu Wenlin, hugging her daughter. “Wenlin…”
“Sister, Sister…” Xu Songnian shouted.
Chen Ruifeng recovered from the pain. With a twisted expression, she picked up a stool from the side and walked towards Li Qingyin. Then, she smashed it heavily on Li Qingyin’s back.
“Mother!!!” Xu Songnian’s eyes widened with anger when he saw this scene. He was terrified and, on impulse, slashed the sickle in his hand at Chen Ruifeng.
When Chen Ruifeng saw the sickle, she stopped smashing the stool. Instead, she threw it at Xu Songnian to block the sickle. “Little bastard, how dare you attack me with a sickle.” She immediately rushed over and slapped Xu Songnian.
At the same time, Xu Fangjun rushed over and grabbed Xu Songnian’s neck. “Li Qingyin, hand over the money. Otherwise, I’ll strangle him to death.”
He exerted force, causing Xu Songnian’s face to turn red.
Li Qingyin held her daughter, whose head was covered in blood, in her arms. She turned around and looked at her son, who was about to suffocate to death. She was as angry as a crazy lioness.
She put her daughter down and stood up, glaring at Xu Fangjun. “Let go of Songnian, let go of him!!!”
Xu Fangjun grabbed Xu Songnian’s neck even harder. “Li Qingyin, it turns out that money is the most important thing in your heart.”
Li Qingyin looked at her son, whose face was turning purple, and finally compromised. If Xu Fangjun really strangled her son to death, no amount of money could make up for it. “Let go of Songnian. I’ll get you money.”
Xu Fangjun snorted. “That’s a smart chioce!”
Li Qingyin walked over and knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down her face. She dug up the mud in the corner and took out the five taels of silver hidden beneath it…
Xu Fangjun grabbed the money bag and pushed Xu Songnian to Li Qingyin. He left with Chen Ruifeng with a smile.
Li Qingyin caught Xu Songnian. “Songnian, how are you?”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Xu Songnian coughed violently. It took him a while to recover. There was a purple-red wound on his neck. At the sight of this, Li Qingyin couldn’t help but cry.
Xu Songnian quickly comforted Li Qingyin. “Mother, I’m fine. Sister is injured. Let’s take her to the doctor quickly.”
Li Qingyin hurriedly walked over and picked up her daughter with tears in her eyes. “Songnian, lock the door. Let’s go see a doctor.”
Xu Songnian hurriedly replied, “Yes, Mother.”
Chu Qingzhi took off her fortune teller attire and came out of the forest when she saw Li Qingyin and her son rushing towards the county.
“Auntie, what’s going on?”
Chu Qingzhi’s gaze swept across the three of them. They were in a sorry state.
Li Qingyin’s eyes were filled with tears, and her body was covered in mud, especially her knees. There was a pinch mark on Xu Songnian’s neck, and Xu Weniin’s forehead was covered with blood.
“Qingzhi.” Li Qingyin was stunned when she saw Chu Qingzhi. Then, she seemed to have found a savior. Out of excitement, her arms went weak, causing Xu Wenlin, who was in her arms, to fall to the ground.
Chu Qingzhi quickly took a step forward and caught Xu Wenlin.
Xu Songnian knelt in front of Chu Qingzhi. “Cousin, please save Sister. She’s bleeding a lot.”
Chu Qingzhi had already seen it. “Don’t worry. There are herbs here to stop the bleeding. I’ll pick some and apply them on her.”
As she spoke, she placed Xu Wenlin on the grass and went to pick herbs.
After taking a few steps, she saw a bush of cattails. This was a good hemostatic herb. She quickly picked some.
It would be bad if Xu Weniin’s face was disfigured. When Chu Qingzhi applied the herb on the young lady, she left a wisp of spiritual power to heal the wound. This way, there would not be a scar after she recovered.
Seeing that Xu Wenlin had stopped bleeding, Li Qingyin and Xu Songnian heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Qingzhi picked Xu Wenlin up and said, “Aunt, Songnian, let’s talk as we walk.”
“Thank you, cousin.” Xu Songnian helped Li Qingyin up and followed Chu Qingzhi to the Chu Village.
After walking for a while, Chu Qingzhi felt that Li Qingyin had calmed down a little and asked, “Aunt, what happened?”
Li Qingyin did not hide a word and told Chu Qingzhi everything. As she spoke, she cried.
Xu Songnian gritted his teeth in hatred.. “Cousin, Xu Fangjun and his wife are animals!”
