"Little master, can't you just speak properly?
Couldn't you have generously gifted these bowls and chopsticks to Little Sweet Treasure, saying they were gifts for developing the waterwheel?
Fortunately, Little Xi Tian accepted the bone china.
'It's getting late, let's go back!' Xiao Jin Heng said expressionlessly.
Chen Xiao Ran felt reluctant to part with Little Xi Tian upon hearing this.
'Xi Tian sister, can you stay at my house tonight?'
She still had many beautiful dolls and toys to show Little Xi Tian.
Especially the vegetable garden her mother managed, the vegetables there grew no worse than those in Da Shui Village...
Little Xi Tian glanced at the sky and politely declined with a smile, 'No, my parents will worry!~'
Second brother had gone to Shuò Ān City to deliver a letter, and her family didn't know yet.
She had to go back and tell them.
So, under Chen Xiao Ran's reluctant gaze, Little Xi Tian got into Xiao Jin Heng's carriage and returned to the village.
Before leaving, Little Xi Tian glanced in the direction her second brother had departed, still feeling a little worried.
Many villagers were gathered in front of the Yun family's gate.
They were all there to watch the commotion.
Liu Cui Rong was kneeling outside the red lacquered gate, sobbing uncontrollably.
'Wuwuwu, Mother, your daughter-in-law knows she was wrong, please let your daughter-in-law in!~'
She had been kneeling there for most of the day without any response.
This troublesome woman, if she wasn't shown some color, she would think the Yun family's door was low and their family discipline was lax.
Forgiveness easily obtained was not enough to serve as a warning.
Even if Liu Cui Rong proposed a divorce and remarriage, the Yun family would lose nothing...
Yun Jin Shan and Yun Xiao Bao stood at the gate, trying to help Liu Cui Rong up.
'Mother, what are you doing? The villagers are all watching.' Yun Jin Shan was extremely ashamed.
Yun Xiao Bao also looked embarrassed.
'Let them watch, it's not like I willingly ran away from home, it's Mother and the whole family who didn't want me, wuwu!~'
The more Liu Cui Rong spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, covering her face and weeping.
'Where is Er Man? Tell him to come out and explain clearly, does he still want me or not? Don't be a turtle hiding its head!~'
Yun Jin Shan: '......'
Yun Xiao Bao: '......'
Aunt Zhang stood to the side, pursing her lips, 'Er Man's wife, why don't you reflect on your own mistakes?'
'Do you not know why Sister Gu kicked you out?'
The village head's wife, Liang Yue Shui, also looked disdainful, 'Yes, if you admit your mistakes and correct them, you won't give anyone a handle. You just angered your mother-in-law, that's why she refuses to forgive you.'
Lu Jin Ping, the daughter-in-law of Yun Wang Cai, happened to pass by.
Seeing Liu Cui Rong kneeling outside the Yun family's gate with tears streaming down her face, she covered her mouth and started laughing.
'Oh my, indeed, fortunes change. Some people were boasting a few days ago about becoming an official's wife.'
'Now she's become a stray dog, hey, do you think this is retribution? Haha!~'
Lu Jin Ping was so triumphant she almost jumped up, deliberately spitting sunflower seed shells towards Liu Cui Rong.
Yun Jin Shan was so angry his hair stood on end, he cursed, 'Shut up, you damned woman, you don't need to mind our family's business!'
Yun Xiao Bao also shouted fiercely, 'Get lost, or I'll beat you until your teeth are scattered on the ground!'
Liu Cui Rong was their biological mother after all.
No matter what mistakes she made, there was still a blood tie.
How the family scolded or hit her was an internal matter for the Old Yun family.
But for outsiders to come and scorn her was bullying.
'What, I'll curse you, curse all of you to die a terrible death, you deserve it!'
Lu Jin Ping shook her head, looking smug.
Yun Jin Shan and Yun Xiao Bao clenched their fists, about to rush over and teach her a lesson.
Liu Cui Rong suddenly stood up, grabbed Lu Jin Ping by the collar, and slapped her twice...
'You cheap thing, who are you cursing to die a terrible death?'
Liu Cui Rong's inner rage surged like a furious lioness, and she directly pinned Lu Jin Ping to the ground.
'You're spewing filth, you even dare to curse my son, I'll rip your mouth open today!'
Even without eating for a day, Liu Cui Rong's combat power was still formidable.
After a few slaps, Lu Jin Ping's vision went blurry, and blood spurted from her nostrils.
'You... you're crazy?'
Lu Jin Ping raised her hands, 'It's just a few words, why are you fighting so hard?'
She felt a little scared.
When she fought with Liu Cui Rong before, she was no match.
Now, catching this lunatic at her peak anger, she was probably in for trouble today.
Liu Cui Rong glared with rage and roared, 'Who the hell is arguing with you? Are you worthy?'
As she spoke, she aimed at Lu Jin Ping's eyes and landed two more punches.
If Yun Gou Dan and Yun Wang Cai hadn't rushed over, Lu Jin Ping would have been crippled...
The villagers gathered outside the Yun family's gate also left with sighs of regret.
'Come here, let Mother hug you!~' Liu Cui Rong wiped her face.
Her earlobe had been scratched by Lu Jin Ping, and blood flowed down her neck, staining it red.
'Mother, you're bleeding.' Yun Jin Shan said.
Liu Cui Rong forced a dry smile, 'Mother is fine, are you two hurt?'
'No, no!' Yun Xiao Bao burrowed into his mother's arms.
The Old Yun family was currently empty, even Xue Ling and the four dogs had gone to the fields.
Jin Shan and Xiao Bao stayed behind to guard the house.
'Here, these are the steamed buns Mother bought back from the county town, you two eat!~'
Liu Cui Rong took out a cloth bundle from her embrace, and inside were several squashed vegetable-filled steamed buns.
Xiao Bao held back tears, 'Mother, your child is not hungry, your child will not eat!'
Yun Jin Shan turned his face away and wiped away a tear...
'Mother, you go inside first, don't kneel anymore.'
Jin Shan helped Liu Cui Rong up, 'When Grandma and Grandpa return from the fields, I'll go talk to them!'
As soon as he finished speaking, two carriages arrived.
One was the Yun family's, and the other was from the neighboring large house.
Yun Er Man had gone out to deliver a letter, so the carriage couldn't be left in the county town. Kong Xing Zhu helped the Yun family drive it back.
'Huh? Second sister-in-law, your ear is bleeding!'
Little Xi Tian ran over with her short legs, rummaged through her small satchel, and took out a bottle of hemostatic spray and bandages.
She helped Liu Cui Rong treat her wound.
Kong Xing Zhu carried her pile of bone china items inside. Seeing Liu Cui Rong's disheveled state, he sighed slightly and said nothing.
At dusk, Zhao Gui Hua returned with Huai Hua and Xi Er to cook.
Seeing her second sister-in-law sitting by the well with a white bandage wrapped around her earlobe, she asked curiously, 'What happened?'
Liu Cui Rong couldn't be bothered to explain, turning her back and not looking at her eldest sister-in-law.
Yun Jin Shan said, 'Lu Jin Ping cursed our family to die a terrible death, and my mother got into a fight with her!~'
Zhao Gui Hua's expression showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.
She said faintly, 'Since you're back, just settle down. I'll go ask Father and Mother for forgiveness later!'
After speaking, she instructed Huai Hua, 'Second sister-in-law is injured, use less chili in the dishes.'
'Ah ah!' Jin Huai Hua responded.
As the sky gradually darkened, the aroma of dishes wafted from the kitchen.
When the food was all laid out on the dining table, Old Man Yun and Yun Da Man returned home carrying their hoes...
Gu Shi also followed behind, carrying a basket of wild vegetables..."
