Old cats sleep on the roof, one generation after another!
In Bai Jing’s opinion, the blood of these ingrates surely carries some selfish traits deep down.
Being a Beijing local, attending schools in Beijing, and later leveraging her influential father, doesn’t that beat living a back-breaking life in the countryside?
This huge difference makes Bai Jing think it won’t be difficult to tempt twelve-year-old Lian En to come with them to Beijing for a better life.
With her only son in her control, Dai Weiguo wouldn’t dare defy her anymore.
Snatching the son Liu Shuzhen raised for years, she can now vent all her previous frustrations on her completely!
Those calculations flashed in her mind loudly, thinking of how her past rival, Shuzhen, once smiled victoriously in her face stirred her fury.
Damn, that wretch in the past life’s values convinced her eldest son, and now she returns in this lifetime?
Heh, now Lian En is loyal, understands reason, and has clearly stated he only recognizes Lianshan and these parents of his; he would never involve himself with the Dai family. The Bai family is scattered, and Dai Weiguo is merely a lowly officer.
Without the capital to deter her, Shuzhen couldn’t allow these scumbags to be arrogant in her presence.
Raising her sleeves with a cold snort, she said, "My son’s future is for his father and me to worry about, not for Mrs. Dai to meddle! If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and leave my doorstep with your man, your brother-in-law, your sister-in-law, and whoever else. My temper isn’t great, and I prefer to solve problems by force. If you still view me as someone who would only cry silently, you’ll be the one inconvenienced!"
"You, why do you talk so unpleasantly?" Bai Jing furrowed her brow, never expecting Liu Shuzhen, who once pleaded tearfully like a dodder flower, could show such a fierce side.
"Leave now, or it’s more than just unpleasant words. Liu Shuzhen has learned to fight and will show you what suffering means. If you’re not afraid, just try me!" Shuzhen laughed coldly, turned back into the courtyard, and grabbed a wooden stick, displaying an aggressive posture ready for a fight.
Lianshan raised a hand to his forehead: "Wife, put it down! Fighting is a crude matter and shouldn’t dirty your hands. Let me handle it! Your husband promises to hit wherever you point, with no hesitation, and will ensure your anger is vented cleanly."
Awakened by the noise outside, Lian En, who had just tidied up his younger siblings, came rushing out from the courtyard with a small stick: "Yeah, mom just watch, your son will help dad!"
Father and son stood together, showing a certain solidarity in facing the battle.
"Me too, me too! Mom, we brothers are all united with you!" Chenchen followed quickly, carrying a matching stick to his brother, swiftly standing by his father’s side, vividly demonstrating what it means to have a family army.
Xinzhi, Xinyue, and Lian Xi all appeared with their own ’weapons,’ even the tiny Xinqing holding a little broom handle.
With a frown and a childish voice, he said, "Bad guys, bullying mom, beat them to pieces!"
Liu Shouyi arrived first to witness the utterly bewildering scene.
Seeing the entire family joining forces sounded quite unified in heart and effort.
But those little ones no taller than a bench, aren’t you really bringing dishes to the enemy?
Unaware of already being ridiculed, the little ones surrounded Shuzhen, insisting on protecting mom. That display of motherly love and filial piety was enough to make Bai Jing and Huang Wei, who could never be mothers, extremely jealous.
And Lian En calling Lianshan ’Dad’ while brandishing a stick at his biological father really pierced Dai Weiguo’s heart.
"Xiao En, how... how can you point a stick at your dad? That’s extremely unfilial, you’ll be punished by heaven! You are the most loyal child, listen to your aunt, put down the stick, and follow..."
"Dad, aunt? Dai Weijuan, after not seeing you for over a decade, you’re still as foolish and shameless as ever! You’re brazen enough to call yourself an aunt, your shamelessness is unparalleled." Liu Shouyi clicked his tongue, giving Dai Weijuan a disdainful glance: "Using shamelessness as reason, twisting the truth in front of children, doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
"Talking about foolishness, you’re not much better! The conscience is such a precious thing, hasn’t the Dai family long traded it for wealth and prosperity? To still have it now, incredible!" Wu Yinghong chimed in, immediately placing a huge hat of selfishness and lack of conscience on the Dai family.
Really, sowing hatred masterfully.
This, this is like calling a monk a bald thief, akin to giving the Dai family a metaphorical slap in the face.
One sentence nearly made Dai Weijuan furious, immediately her eyes fumed as she pointed at Wu Yinghong: "You, who the hell are you? Spewing nonsense the moment you arrive!"
"Living off others but speaking like that, I see you’re just begging for a beating!" Lian Yue came quickly to support her sister-in-law, stepping up and landing a sharp slap on Dai Weijuan’s face.
Though grateful for the Dai’s idiocy, allowing her brother to marry a good woman, and providing herself and Hai Zi a great sister-in-law, bringing prosperity to the whole Lian family, individually, the siblings were prosperous.
But feeling for the sister-in-law’s ordeal, wanting to help her vent anger, what to do?
Just hit the Dai people upon sight, creating opportunities to hit if none exist!
Dai Weijuan, struck dizzy, charged at Lian Yue, threatening a fight to the death.
"If you dare stir trouble, you’ll find no peace when leaving Liu Jia Village!" Ning Jianshe kicked Dai Weijuan, threatening protection for his wife.
Stunned by the sudden situation, several city leaders were bewildered: fighting so openly and threatening afterwards, do you really disregard us leaders?
Just thinking of persuading a little, being a peacemaker, the persuasion words not yet brewed, Wu Yinghong warmly smiled and said: "Hey, sister Lian Yue, brother-in-law Lian Yue, fighting is so crude, we should be civilized, know civility yes? Solve things with words, don’t waste energy on spears and poles.
For instance, if I were to expose how Dai Weiguo climbed up to marry into the Bai family, and how he ended up sterile in his prime.
Guarantee their couple would split internally, argue endlessly.
After losing both pride and dignity, they’d most likely avoid Liu Jia Village forever, never wanting to return this lifetime!"
"Wow, your sister-in-law knows the dirt behind this? Quick, enlighten us! I’m pondering, how a noble daughter suddenly fell for the married man!" Lian Hai laughed, fully delivering the punchline.
