Chapter 25 Beating the Old Man in the House

Before the family could even clear the table, Wu Hong entered the room and immediately saw the bones on the table, and could faintly smell the aroma of meat.

She helped Old Zhou up and said sarcastically, "That's right, Mother, I saw that brat buy so much food in town today! But she didn't give a single bit to you, her grandmother."

Old Mrs. Zhou flew into a rage, pointing at Wen Muchuan's nose and cursing, "I've wasted my life giving birth to such a thing! You deserve to be struck by lightning!" Then she raised her stick and pointed it at Wen Luozhi, "And you, you wretched girl! You have money but don't give it to your old lady, you just send it away! I don't know why that slut gave birth to you! And you treat her like a precious treasure every day!"

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't like her second son; he wasn't as obedient as her eldest son, nor as clever as her third son.

Because she disliked him, she disliked Xie He, whom he insisted on marrying, and she disliked even more the children that woman had given birth to! All these years, those little brats had never respected their old woman!

Especially that wretched girl, she actually laid a hand on her precious grandson, who is her eldest cousin! She's really gone too far! It's all because of the Wen family that they spoiled her!

Today, my younger daughter-in-law came back from town and said she saw that wretched girl had bought lots of things. She was still waiting at home for Wen Lao Er to bring them over to show her respect to her mother, but she couldn't sit still any longer until it got dark, so she came over from the old house.

I thought I could bring back some nice things, but this family of scoundrels has already eaten dinner!

Xie He was the first to disagree when she heard the old woman scolding her precious daughter. She stepped forward, grabbed the old woman's stick, and pushed her back, saying with disgust, "What do you mean by 'old mother' and 'old grandmother'? Aunt Zhou, have you forgotten that the children's father has long since severed ties with you?"

When she was in the old house, all the dirty and tiring work fell on her shoulders every day. Even during her postpartum period, she had to get out of bed to cook and wash clothes for the family.

Later, when she was eight months pregnant with Wen Luozhi, she was pushed into the icy river and almost died! I don't know if God took pity on her and let her live, but the child was born prematurely and she also went through the gates of hell.

Because they were starving at the time and she was born two months premature, Wen Luozhi was born weak and smaller than normal children. They doted on this little girl they had finally gotten, and her brothers also loved their little sister.

During her postpartum period, Old Zhou's wife continued to torment her, her second daughter-in-law. In a fit of anger, the child's father took the child and moved with her to a dilapidated thatched hut in the village that no one wanted, where they have remained ever since.

Old Zhou remained relentless, bullying the family every few days, until finally the matter was brought to the village chief's attention and the marriage was severed.

At that time, she couldn't work and her children were at the age where they ate a lot. Wen's eldest daughter-in-law actually stole the money they had worked so hard to save! Because there were no other witnesses, they were unable to get the money back.

That winter, his family had a very hard time and even had to eat tree roots. The children, who were old enough to understand, naturally hated the people in the old house.

She finally got through the tough times and stood up again, so people from the old house rarely dared to come over.

They're eyeing her family's meal just because they're having a nice time! They even try to bully them! She absolutely won't allow it!

Old Mrs. Zhou nearly fell over, and Qian Zhaodi, with her plump figure, stepped forward and scolded, "Look at what you're saying, second sister-in-law! There's an old saying that even if bones are broken, the tendons are still connected!"

Even if we sever ties, isn't Mom still Mom?

"Pah! This old hag isn't my father's mother!" Wen Zixun pulled Xie He behind him to shield the three of them.

He was almost sold out by this fat woman when he was a child, and he didn't believe for a second that the old hag had no part in it.

Wu Hong's eyes darted around, and he picked up the stick and handed it to Old Zhou. Sure enough, Old Zhou took the stick and was about to hit him with it.

Wen Luozhi was closest to Qian Zhaodi, and upon seeing this, she raised her foot and kicked her hard in the waist.

Qian Zhaodi was already fat, and when she was kicked like that, she lost her balance and slammed straight forward onto Old Zhou's body, and the two of them fell flat on their faces.

"Ouch! Ouch! This old woman is going to be crushed to death!" Qian Zhaodi's plump body pressed Old Zhou down hard on the ground, making her cry out.

Wu Hong was startled and quickly went forward to help Qian Zhaodi up with great effort. After she was up, she was panting heavily.

Old Mrs. Zhou picked up a stick from the side and stood up shakily. She looked at Wen Muchuan with a pair of slanted, triangular eyes that gleamed with a fierce light. "Wen the Second! You didn't even bother to help your old mother up! You'll get struck by lightning sooner or later!"

Wen Muchuan said coldly, "I've given you everything I was supposed to give you, and you've taken back everything I wasn't supposed to give you. What are you still making a fuss about?"

"Now I, Wen Muchuan, am a man of my own, no longer the pathetic wretch who can be beaten and scolded at will! Get out of my house now, or I'll go back to the old house and beat up Wen Dazhuang and Wen Zhuzi for what they did to my wife and children today!"

"How dare you!" Old Zhou screamed and raised her stick to hit someone again, but Wen Luozhi kicked her wrist and the stick flew away.

Old Mrs. Zhou was wincing in pain, while Wen Luozhi crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, waiting for her to go crazy.

"You little slut! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

She yelled at Wu Hong and Qian Zhaodi who were standing to the side, "Go and beat this brat to death! Let her know what's what!"

The two men rolled up their sleeves and charged forward menacingly, but before they could even touch a hair on Wen Luozhi's head, they were blocked in their path by several tall brothers.

Qian Zhaodi swallowed nervously as she looked at the exceptionally burly Wen Zi'an. Just as she was about to back away, Xie He grabbed her collar and pushed her back forcefully.

She fell again, but this time no one helped her up. Instead, Xie He sat on her and slapped her repeatedly across the face. "You still want to bully my daughter! I haven't even settled accounts with you for stealing my money and selling my Xiao Liu yet!"

Xie He poured all his strength into every punch and slap he landed on Qian Zhaodi, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered back then.

Qian Zhaodi tried to get up and fight back, but no matter how hard she struggled, it was no use. At this moment, all she wanted was to lose weight so that she could get up and fight back.

Wu Hong's condition was no better, even worse than Qian Zhaodi's. She was lying on the ground while Yang Guilan was riding on top of her.

Li Chunxing was timid and only dared to snatch the stick from Old Zhou and hit her. Da Ya and Er Ya only knew that this woman was going to bully their little aunt. The two girls grabbed Wu Hong's legs tightly from the left and right, making her unable to move.

Yang Guilan turned Wu Hong's hand over and held it tightly, while using one hand to continuously pinch the soft hands on Wu Hong's back and waist.

Wu Hong was pinned to the ground, at their mercy. She cried out in pain, "Mother! Mother! Please save me! They're going to beat me to death!"

"Waaaaah, Mother, quickly pull this crazy woman away! She's going to beat me to death too!" Qian Zhaodi finally managed to raise a hand and plead for help from Old Zhou, who was not far away.
