“Chuan, let’s go home. It’s fine if you don’t want such a woman. Even if you marry her, you won’t be at ease. Perhaps the children she gives birth to won’t be yours. Although our family isn’t rich, we’re still an innocent family. Not to mention marrying a rich young lady, you can still afford to marry an innocent girl.”

After Madam Liu finished speaking, she pulled Luo Chuan and turned to leave.

Not far away, she still felt unlucky and spat a mouthful of phlegm in the Su family’s courtyard.

The villagers hurriedly made way for her. Madam Liu was not someone to be trifled with. There were so many women in the Su family, but they could not even defeat her. Moreover, Madam Liu must be in a bad mood now. No one wanted to get into trouble.

Old Master Wang stretched out his hand and pointed at Old Master Su as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that there was no need to. Hence, Old Master Wang waved his hand and said coldly, “Fourth Dog Su, I don’t care what kind of business your family is up to, but this concerns the reputation of the entire village. I won’t allow you to mess around. If there’s a next time, your family will move out of the Southern Mountain Village.”

With that, Old Master Wang waved his hand and left.

Old Master Su’s body swayed.

The others in the village also looked at the Su family as if they were enemies.

They spat in disdain, their eyes filled with mockery.

Old Master Su’s face was burning hot. He had lived through most of his life. Now that he was old, he felt even more humiliated.

Since everyone had left, Madam Wang naturally had to take revenge. She pinched Madam Li a few times.

Madam Li hurriedly cried out in grievance. “Mother, this isn’t a matter of my family. Su Yufang isn’t my daughter. We are innocent.”

Madam Li was not stupid. If Madam Wang wanted to hit her, she could not fight back, but she could run and dodge.

Since Madam Wang could not catch her, she naturally had to find trouble with Madam Zhou.

As for Madam Wang, even without Madam Li saying anything, she was going to look for Madam Zhou.

Unable to catch up to Madam Li, Madam Wang turned around and went to the second branch’s house. She knocked on the door and said, “Madam Zhou, you rotten thing. Open the door quickly.”

Madam Zhou was in the house, hugging Su Yufang and crying.

Su Yufang’s eyes were swollen from crying. “Mother, what should we do? Grandmother will beat you to death.”

Madam Zhou was also crying, but she knew that she could not avoid Madam Wang.

When she did not open the door, Madam Wang was already cursing outside. “You good-for-nothing. I’ll ask Second Brother to divorce you now. You jinx, what have you done to our family?”

Madam Zhou hurriedly opened the door and knelt down. She hugged Madam Wang’s legs and apologized. “Mother, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Mother… Please spare me…”

Madam Wang hit her immediately.

Madam Zhou endured it all. She hugged Madam Wang, and Madam Wang could only hit her with her hands. If she hit her too much, her hands would also hurt. If she did not hug Madam Wang and Madam Wang went to get a stick, she would only be in an even worse state.

Madam Zhou cried and screamed.

Su Yufang curled up on the bed, not daring to go over. She was going to get married. If she was beaten until her entire body was bruised, how was she going to get married?

Madam Zhou was the only one who endured this beating and scolding.

Madam Liu left with Luo Chuan. When Madam Liu saw a few figures walking in front, she sighed and said, “That’s the child who told us the news just now, right? It’s all thanks to him. Otherwise, we would have been in the dark. If we went to the Su family, we would have been led by the nose.”

Luo Chuan nodded. “It’s that child.”

Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, “They look like they’re leaving the village? I wonder where their home is. We should thank him again.”

Luo Chuan nodded. “We should thank him.”

Seeing them return home from afar, Madam Liu prepared to knock on the door with Luo Chuan to thank him.

Chen Shi held Chen Daniu’s arm and talked happily all the way. He even proudly stuck out his chest and said how he had told Luo Chuan the truth.

Chen Daniu sighed and said helplessly, “Shi, I know you feel sorry for me. I’ve completely let go. Don’t do such a thing in the future. We have nothing to do with the Su family, understand?”

Chen Shi rubbed his head and nodded. “Yes, I’ve vented my anger today. I won’t find trouble with their family in the future.”

During this period of time, Chen Daniu was in a depressed mood. Chen Shi even saw her secretly crying. Chen Shi was so angry that he used mud to dirty the Su family’s clothes.

Now that Chen Daniu was feeling better, he naturally wouldn’t play any more pranks.

“Sister Xiaolu, can you teach me martial arts?”

Chen Shi wanted to become stronger. He knew that Su Xiaolu was very good at martial arts and wanted to learn too.

Be it the Su family or the Xu family, they bullied his sister like this because there was no one in their family who could protect her.

His parents were too kind. He and his brother were too young to be in charge.

He would grow up eventually, but if he wanted to be strong, he had to have the ability to make others fear him. Only then would others not bully him nonchalantly, casually, indifferently.

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Sure, as long as you’re not afraid of hard work.”

Chen Shi immediately patted his chest. “I’m not afraid. I’m a man. I can suffer anything.”

Su Xiaolu and Chen Daniu laughed.

Su Xiaolu said, “Alright, I’ll ask Master Gui You. Go home with your sister first.”

Chen Shi nodded obediently.

Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard and went straight to the main house. She wanted to teach Chen Shi some martial arts, so of course she had to ask Gui You.

Chen Shi held Chen Daniu’s arm and went home. He said to Chen Daniu, “Sis, don’t worry. In the future, you’ll definitely find someone ten or a hundred times stronger than Xu Bowen. When my brother and I grow up, we’ll always protect you and Second Sister. If you’re bullied, come back and tell me. My brother and I will definitely support you. If anyone dares to hit you and Second Sister, don’t be afraid. Tell us when you get home. At most, you’ll divorce them and come home.”

Chen Shi looked at Chen Daniu seriously. He had also become sensible. Perhaps his family thought that he was a child who knew nothing, but in fact, he knew everything.

His two sisters would always be the most precious. They were treasures.

Before he grew up, his two sisters would get married, but he would grow up eventually. There would be a time when he could support his family.

Chen Daniu’s eyes turned red.

“Thank you. I’m very happy to hear that.”

Chen Daniu was very touched. It was because she had seen too much coldness that she understood how precious such sincere emotions were.

Chen Shi smiled and said, “Sis, rest well. I’ll go feed the chickens.”

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Shi ran over to open the door. When he opened the door and saw Luo Chuan and Madam Liu, he frowned. “What’s the matter?”

Chen Shi was very vigilant. He was afraid that Luo Chuan and Madam Liu were here to cause trouble.

Chen Shi did not even open the door fully. If Luo Chuan and Madam Liu dared to barge in, he would immediately shout. Chen Hu and Madam Qian, who worked in the Su family, would immediately come over when they heard this.

Madam Liu smiled and said very gently, “Little brother, we’re here to thank you. Fortunately, you told us the truth. Otherwise, we would have been bullied.”

Before Chen Shi could answer, Chen Daniu walked over and asked, “Shi, who is it?”
