nYu Feng held the IOU in his hand and was unable to return to his senses for a long time. He was truly unable to believe that the trouble he was powerless against had been resolved just like that. Earlier, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of the possibility of becoming rich all of a sudden, but it was merely a fantasy that was completely destroyed in the end. However, at this moment, he’d truly and thoroughly repaid his debt.

nTo be exact, Ah Wan paid off.

nAfter spending a few days together, he could tell that she did not have any ulterior motives towards them. The more she did so, the more he could not understand why she did it.

n“Take this.” It was one thing to think about it, but it was another to deal with it. Yu Feng gathered his thoughts and handed the IOU to Yu Wan.

nYu Wan took the IOU and tore it without a word.

nHe was dumbfounded. “You…”

nYu Wan blinked innocently. “Didn’t Big Brother ask me to tear up the IOU?”

nI asked you to keep it safe…

n“Do you have any good ginseng?” Yu Wan smiled and shifted her gaze away, asking the medicine boy behind the counter.

nThe medicine boy quickly said, “Yes, yes!”

nYu Feng turned around. “Why are you buying ginseng?”

nYu Wan replied, “My mother’s body needs to be nursed.”

n“Oh,” Yu Feng replied.

nYu Wan smiled gently. “Uncle needs it too.”

nYu Feng looked embarrassed. In the end, he did not stop her. After all, it was useless even if he did. No matter if it was in the past or now, this girl had never listened to others.

nYu Wan picked two decent ginseng and spent a total of five taels. After that, she wanted to buy something else for her uncle, but Yu Feng forcefully dragged her away.

nYu Feng wanted to return to the village and Yu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, if you don’t want to buy medicine, then don’t. Just buy some vegetables. The fish and bamboo shoots have all been sold out.”

nYu Feng could only accompany her to buy groceries.

nYu Wan bought three pounds of lean meat, two pounds of streaky pork, a pork knuckle, and half a pound of star anise and cinnamon. She still wanted to buy some side dishes. Yu Feng coughed lightly and said, “You don’t have to buy these vegetables. You have those in the fields.”

nNaturally, it was not her field but theirs. This meant that she was allowed to go to their place to pick vegetables.

nYu Wan’s lips curved. “Sure.”

nYu Wan bought another pound of soft tofu and ten pounds of second-grade salt.

n“Do you want to buy anything else?” Yu Feng took all her things and carried them on his back.

nYu Wan nodded. “Osmanthus cake.”

nThis time, she had some money on hand. Unlike before where a piece of osmanthus cake was cut in half. She asked for two boxes. After buying this, the two of them returned to the village.

nJust as they reached the village entrance, an auntie who was washing dried chili peppers by the door hurriedly ran towards them. She first looked at the two of them in surprise, then looked at Yu Wan and said, “Ah Wan, why are you only back now? Something happened to your family!”

n“What happened to my family?” Yu Wan didn’t know her, but her expression was definitely not fake.

n“Aunt Zhang, what happened to Ah Wan’s family?” Yu Feng asked. He remembered his mother taking care of Little Bruiser and Madam Jiang.

nAunt Zhang said, “The Zhao family’s daughter beat up Bruiser! Ah Wan’s mother rushed out to cause trouble for the Zhao family!” She looked at Ah Wan worriedly. “How is your mother a match for them? That…” Aunt Zhang wanted to call her a shrew, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that Ah Wan was Mrs. Zhao’s daughter-in-law. She swallowed the word ‘shrew’ angrily. “Anyway, you guys should hurry over and take a look! If you’re late, your mother might be beaten to death by her!”

nMadam Jiang was an extremely gentle woman in the village. It was said that she came from the city and had a good upbringing. She spoke in a soft voice and never got angry with others. On the other hand, Mrs. Zhao was much more domineering. Just because she had a scholar’s son, who in the village hadn’t been angered by her?

nYu Wan did not expect her mother to wake up at this critical juncture. Moreover, the moment she woke up, she had a conflict with the Zhao family. The Zhao Family was not a pushover. Her mother was a weak woman… Would she be able to withstand a slap from Mrs. Zhao?

nYu Wan’s expression instantly turned cold. She picked up a stone from the ground and rushed to the Zhao Family residence.

nBefore she arrived, she heard a heart-wrenching scream.

n“Ah—”

n“Ah—”

n“Ah—”

nIt was so painful that the voice broke!

nYu Wan was trembling with anger. She walked into the main room, turned around, and kicked open the door! She raised the stone and was about to smash it down when she was completely stunned by the scene before her.

nMrs. Zhao, who was said to have beaten her mother half to death, was lying on the messy floor, trembling. Her body was curled up, and one of her shoes had fallen off. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and her pants were torn.

nA thin woman was riding on her battered body roughly, one hand holding her hair, the other holding the thick soles of her shoes, slapping her hard. Mrs. Zhao’s forehead was bleeding and her face was swollen like a pig’s head. She screamed like a pig being slaughtered, each cry more miserable than the last.

nThe woman who had slapped her looked like she weighed no more than forty kilograms, but Yu Wan could feel the aura from her!

nUh…

nThis was her mother?

nWhat happened to being weak…

nYu Feng and Aunt Zhang were stunned.

nWas this really Third Aunt (Little Jiang)?

nWere they seeing things?!

nMadam Jiang was so engrossed in her beating that she didn’t even know that someone had come into the room. She started slapping left and right at Mrs. Zhao, “Return my daughter! Return my daughter to me! Let your son pay with his life!”

nSon??Aunt Zhang was stunned.

nIt turned out that Aunt Zhang had misunderstood the entire situation.

nIt was true that Zhao Baomei had bullied Little Bruiser today, but Madam Jiang didn’t know about this. She was still unconscious at that time. After Little Bruiser returned home, he didn’t complain to his aunt. After eating, he lay on the bed and took a nap.

nWhile he was taking a nap, Aunt Yu went back to the old mansion to cook something for her husband.

nMadam Jiang woke up at this time.

nMadam Jiang’s memories were still stuck at the moment when the doctor announced that Ah Wan couldn’t wake up. She opened her eyes and saw the sleeping Little Bruiser. When she didn’t see Ah Wan, she thought that her daughter’s corpse had already been buried. She was filled with anger, so she rushed into the Zhao family’s house, wanting to find Zhao Heng to pay with his life.

nEven if Zhao Heng had said that Ah Wan had fallen into the water and it was he who rescued Ah Wan, how could Madam Jiang believe him?

nAh Wan obviously knew how to swim!

nAt first, Mrs. Zhao had a grudge regarding the chicken soup and was too lazy to explain it to Madam Jiang. She kept on scolding Madam Jiang “crazy” and even said that her daughter deserved to die. After that, she was beaten up by Madam Jiang until she was looking for her teeth all over the ground. Then, she explained that her daughter actually didn’t die, but Madam Jiang didn’t buy it anymore.

n“Kill you! Kill you! You shameless b*tch!”

nYu Feng covered his eyes with his hands.

nMadam Jiang whipped Mrs. Zhao until she was on the verge of death. The soles of her shoe were broken, so she used her hands.

nYu Wan could not stand it anymore. Mrs. Zhao’s skin was so thick that her mother’s hand was swollen. It was better for her to deal with this kind of slut.

n“Mom.” She looked at the back of Madam Jiang and spoke softly.

nMadam Jiang, who didn’t even hear the sound of the door being kicked, came back to her senses after hearing this voice that was almost drowned out by Mrs. Zhao’s screams.

nMadam Jiang’s body suddenly stiffened, and her hand froze in midair. This strange posture lasted for three seconds.

nIn the next second, she stood up without looking sideways. She moved back her legs that were on Mrs. Zhao’s body and dusted off the train of her dress. She tucked her messy hair behind her ear with her fair fingers and turned around elegantly. Using her right toe, she silently pushed the broken shoe behind her.

nThen, she pressed her temples with one hand and covered her chest with the other. She said weakly, “Aiya, my head feels so dizzy…”
