alf the sky, continued to fall relentlessly. Wu Lianyi watched impassively at Zi Qingchen outside the range of the tribulation thunder. The triumphant expression on the other's face was not hidden in...Then Granny Liu wanted to wail aloud, trying to overwhelm Ripple with filial piety.

The ripples only brushed against her twice, and Old Willow was rendered motionless. After having her throat sealed, she couldn't even speak, which truly terrified her.

Ripples said calmly:

"Milk, I'm only five years old. Would people believe you, an old wicked woman, or would they believe me, a sweet and innocent little girl"

After finishing his questions, he turned and left the house, taking the young boys with him to chop wood at the foot of the mountain. On their way back home, they brought along some wild eggs they had found and a wild chicken that had flown into their trap. The whole group, their heads full of turnips, marched triumphantly back home.

After the ripples had cooked the chicken in the pot with Er Ya, she started tidying up the collapsed coop that Liuyu had pressed down.

When Lao Liu and his son, daughter-in-law returned from the fields, they saw a group of diligent grandchildren tidying up the chicken coop.

"Big Sister, what happened Why did the chicken coop collapse Are the chickens alright Where's your grandma"

Old Willow frowned and asked.

Chuang Sisi, Hehua, and Fengxu'er’s noses were already twitching with the savory smell wafting from the kitchen. Immediately, Chuang Sisi started counting the chickens scattered in the yard with her eyes, afraid that one would be missing, or else grandma would start making a fuss again.

Ripple finally put down the branch she had broken in her hand and stood before several small figures. She spoke clearly:

"Grandpa, when my younger brother and sisters and I came back with firewood, we saw Grandma lying in the chicken coop. She couldn't even speak. Because I am strong, I dragged her to the bed in the inner room. You guys go see if you should call a doctor."

Today we were lucky, while collecting firewood, we came across a wild chicken that had died on a rock. I brought it back. I originally wanted to let Mother cook it for the whole family, but she was unable to move, so I cooked the chicken myself.

When Lao Liu heard this, he went straight to the main room in three steps and two steps. In his heart, he mumbled again, "This old hag is causing trouble again! We were finally having a good time, and she starts making things difficult."

Then Zhuang Sisi carefully checked Lian Ri's body, and after making sure she was fine, she picked her up and asked with concern:

"Shan Gen, you saw it too Scared"

"Well, I see. Sister is right, and I'm not scared."

The mountain root immediately cooperated and said.

Several other children, Er Ya, San Shan, and Xiao Feng, all nodded vigorously, indicating that the eldest sister was telling the truth. Then they turned their attention to the chicken in the kitchen.

Because in the hearts of several children, grandma is not as attractive as a piece of chicken meat. It's no wonder that these children are unfilial and deliberately hide it from Rippling.

She's truly an odd woman. Before, she was constantly complaining because her two daughters-in-law hadn't given birth to sons, and then she fell ill a few times before finally calming down.

But when her sons one after another began to come out, she wasn't very happy either. She started complaining about having too many sons and worrying about how much money it would take to marry them off, complaining that there were just too many mouths to feed.

Then, using this excuse, he tried to extort money from his daughter-in-law. Fengxu found an opportunity and publicly exposed the matter in the village, making Liupo become a notorious bad mother-in-law who coveted her daughter-in-law's dowry. Her reputation was ruined overnight.

And Feng Xue'er gave birth to a son in her first pregnancy, leaving Liu Po with no excuse to mistreat her. She couldn't make things difficult for Feng Xue'er during her confinement since she had no family to support her.

But Feng Xuer didn't buy it. She might not have a family, but she had silver. So she hired two wet nurses to care for Zhuang Sisi and Hehua, as well as her own confinement period.

Zhuang Sisi and her mother-in-law were both delighted. Not only did they get to take care of their daughter during her confinement, but they also earned money. Where else could you find such a good deal After discussing it, the two of them readily agreed to the arrangement, leaving Liu Pozi fuming with anger but helpless. After all, she had claimed she wouldn't serve during confinement.

Old Man Liu was also somewhat dismissive of Old Madam Liu because of this incident. He directly pressured his wife to cook for the whole family while their three daughters-in-law were in confinement, leaving her no energy to stir up trouble. This finally quelled Old Madam Liu's arrogance.

Liupo's grandmother fell silent for a long time after this, which brought much peace to the entire Liu family. The several children grew up under Lianyi's care but were not very favored by Lipo's grandmother.

Liupao always wanted to bully the children when the adults were away. Lianyi naturally couldn't bear it, and she beat up Liupao several times, protecting all the children very well.

So, to some siblings, the eldest sister is their backbone and protector. Even grandma has to take a backseat; they unconditionally support their older sister.

Besides, she was the one who started trouble today for no reason. She intentionally picked a fight and wanted to hit someone. Getting beaten up is her own fault for not being skilled enough. She couldn't even beat a girl who was taller than her, barely reaching her thighs. It's pathetic.

Actually, there was a sense of satisfaction in their hearts when they saw the milk being tidied up.

Therefore, some people are born evil and will not become kind as they age.

When the old man returned home, Willow's Mother immediately opened her mouth and started "Ah ah ah"ing, complaining. But nobody understood a word she was saying.

Seeing this situation, Liu Dashan turned his head and said to Old Man Liu:

"Dad, Mom looks like she might have had a stroke. Maybe we should take her to the town for a checkup!"

“Alright, you go borrow a cart. Old Third, Old Third's wife, you two follow behind. If you're too late to come back, just stay at Pingping's place for the night.”

Old Liu was already very familiar with this process, so he calmly directed his son and daughter-in-law.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, you two go to the kitchen and prepare some simple meals. Let them eat something before they leave. Several children haven't eaten either, don't let them starve."

Old Liu turned to Zhuang Sisi and said, "Several grandchildren are well-behaved and obedient. He still cherishes them very much."

"Yes, Father, I'm going right now. Da Ya and the others have made chicken soup. I'll just stir up some dishes and put out a few steamed buns."

After Zhuang Sisi agreed, she took the lotus flower to the kitchen. Feng Xuer was tidying up for her mother-in-law because she had been lying in bed for a long time, and she had wet herself.

When Liu Da Shan and his two companions finished their meal and drove the ox-cart toward town, their neighbors knew that Old Madam Liu had gone to town for medical treatment again. They were used to it and sighed in sympathy that only the three sons of the Liu family could manage this; they had enough money at home, otherwise, with such frequent trips back and forth, no other family could have held up.

Ripples and little brother Shan Gen, after eating and drinking their fill, hand-in-hand went back to sleep, not worried about the old abuser's situation at all.

The next morning, when Liu Dashan, Liu Daohu, and Feng Xu'er dragged Grandmother Liu back after a dusty journey, Old Man Liu discovered that his youngest daughter, Liu Pingping, had already moved out.

It was said that Zhang Huolang went out to purchase goods and didn't trust leaving his young wife at home, so he took her along. As a result, they missed the boat. In the end, Feng Xu-er paid for a room at an inn near Puji Hall, where the four of them barely made do for one night.

Old Man Liu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, scolding Willow Pingping for being a rebellious daughter. How could she have kept such a big event from her family They wouldn't stop her anyway. Why did she leave without a word, as if afraid they would cling to her and take advantage of heruldn't get the tokens, he didn't want that batch of elite soldiers to join other forces. This would be a form of weakening him. Instead of that, it was better to keep them in his hands.Zhang Xuedao's...
