Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The two sons of the Ruan family rushed forward and looked at Shu Yu with furrowed brows, “You’re Erya?”
“Erya, this is your grandmother. What are you doing with the axe? Even if you want to scare people, you shouldn’t do it . Listen to uncle, put that thing down, then come in and have a cup of water. Let’s have a good talk.”
Shu Yu looked at the two sons of the Ruan family, who thought they were kind. It was said that these two were younger than Madam Ruan. As the eldest daughter, Madam Ruan had to work since she was young to take care of her parents and brothers. She had brought up these two brothers by herself.
Yet, with such a sister, they could still become Old Lady Ruan’s accomplices just for some money and steal the child of their sister who had just given birth. Their conscience had really been eaten by dogs!
Shu Yu sneered, “Why am I holding an axe? You’ll find out soon enough.”
With that, she raised her hand and hacked the bamboo pole next to her with the axe, knocking it to the ground. The clothes and quilts hanging on the pole fell to the ground.
Shu Yu stepped on the fabrics and walked over.
Before the members of the Ruan family could react, Shu Yu swung the axe again, creating a big hole in the water tank in front. The water inside flowed out with a whoosh, wetting the ground and soaking the quilts.
“Ah!” Old Madam Ruan screamed and looked in disbelief at Shu Yu, who was walking into the house, “What are you doing? You’re crazy, you’re crazy!”
Shu Yu waved her axe as she walked. She knocked down the chair in the corner, stepped a hole in the dustpan in the corridor, and split the jar of pickles in the corner. Wherever she passed, the ground was in a mess.
“Erya!” Looking at the house that had been destroyed into a mess, the eyes of the Ruan family’s sons were filled with anger as they rushed over.
Shu Yu turned around and pointed the axe at them. Her eyes were cold, “I’d like to see who dares to come here!”
“You, you crazy girl! Put down the axe, put it down!”
Shu Yu asked, “Why should I? I heard that the year I was stolen, my grandma and uncle brought people to settle the score with you, but in the end, they only beat you up. I think they were wrong. How could they just give you one beating? They should have torn down your entire house. So that you don’t live off my misfortune and lead e a carefree life, raising yourself to be fat and strong like pigs, making people sick.”
She waved her axe, “It’s just nice that today, I’ll finish what they didn’t finish more than ten years ago.”
After Shu Yu finished speaking, she rushed into the kitchen and smashed the cupboard open with the axe.
Then, she hacked at the pots and pans inside.
The sounds of things being broken made people’s hearts tremble.
Old Lady Ruan immediately clutched her chest and sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling, “What a sin! This girl has gone mad! Someone come and catch her! Everything in our house is going to be smashed by her!”
The faces of the Ruan family’s sons were ashen. They rushed to the woodshed to get the hoes and shoulder poles, then ran to the kitchen to beat her.
Shu Yu’s movements were swift. In just a short while, not only did she smash all the pots, bowls, ladles, and wine jars, but she also split the dining table into two.
After being done in the kitchen, she walked out and saw the Ruan family’s sons running over angrily.
Lu Sanzhu, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, gasped, “Be careful!”
The next moment, he watched as Shu Yu grabbed the Ruan family’s eldest son’s shoulder pole with one hand and split it into two with the axe in her other hand.
Then, she turned to the side and dodged the hoe of the Ruan family’s second son. Following this, she kicked him in the knee and sent him to the ground..
