Chapter 8: Entering Battle Mode

“Mom, what smells so good?”

“Oh my god, it’s meat, it’s meat! Are we having meat tonight?”

As soon as Fu Gui shouted, his younger sister Baozhu followed suit.

“I smell it too, it’s definitely meat, so fragrant!”

“Brother, go check the kitchen!”

With that, the siblings rushed towards the kitchen, their footsteps a blur.

The braised duck was indeed fragrant, and the mother and son had just finished eating, the aroma still lingering in the air.

But when the siblings reached the kitchen, they found the pot empty.

“Where’s the meat? Why isn’t there any? Where’s my meat, brother?”

Fu Gui, ten years old and the son of Chen Lao Da, had just returned from the village school and was starving.

His sister’s question made him glare. “It must have been eaten by Li Benlu and the others!”

“Mom, I want meat!”

Liu Xiulan walked in, sniffing the air. Her face darkened. “Fu Gui, quickly go call your grandma and the others back.”

But Fu Gui refused. He stomped his foot. “I’m not going, I want meat!”

Liu Xiulan glanced at the woodshed. “If you want meat, you have to call your grandma back, otherwise there won’t be any!”

Fu Gui didn’t believe her. “Really? If I call grandma back, we’ll have meat?”

You cunning Li Xinye, you dare to secretly eat meat, just wait and see how my mother-in-law deals with you!

You’re going to regret this!

Liu Xiulan’s face was grim. “Go, if your grandma doesn’t come back, there definitely won’t be any meat!”

For the sake of meat, Fu Gui ran off excitedly.

“Mom, they went to call grandma, I’m scared!”

Inside the woodshed, Chen Yiheng trembled.

Li Xinyue hugged her precious son and kissed him.

“Yi Yi, remember what mom said, mom is the invincible Ultraman, don’t be afraid of anyone!”

Ultraman?

Who is that?

Is he very powerful?

He must be very powerful!

Mom said he’s Ultraman, so he must be powerful!

With newfound confidence, Chen Yiheng felt reassured. “Mom, I’ll hide well, you don’t have to worry about me!”

So good!

Li Xinyue loved him so much!

Soon, a chaotic sound of footsteps echoed in the courtyard again.

“Li Benlu, get out here!”

Mrs. Chen, fifty-one years old, ate well and didn’t do any work, so she was full of energy.

Her roar almost shook the woodshed.

Li Xinyue gently patted Chen Yiheng twice.

Her voice was soft yet confident.

“Don’t be afraid, they’re no match for mom. No matter what happens, don’t come out, okay?”

Chen Yiheng nodded obediently. “Mom, I know.”

So good!

Li Xinyue kissed him again before getting off the bed, just as the door was kicked open.

Mrs. Chen stood at the doorway, her face fierce.

The moment the door opened, she pointed at Li Xinyue and started yelling. “You bitch, are you dead in there?”

“Tell me, did you steal the meat?”

Starting with insults?

If it’s a contest of insults, let’s go!

Li Xin Yue’s face darkened. “Old hag, you’re so old and still don’t know how to be polite, are you eating wind?”

“Do you have meat in your house?”

“Your family doesn’t have any meat, where would I steal it from?”

“You’re just putting a big hat on me, are you trying to make a mistake?”

What!

She’s trying to make a mistake?

Mrs. Chen looked at Li Xinyue with disbelief. “You bitch, you dare to scold me?”

Li Xinyue sneered. “Bitch, who are you calling a bitch?”

“Bitch, I’m calling you a bitch!”

“Okay, since you admit it, then I won’t hold it against you!”

What does she mean?

Finally, Mrs. Chen reacted.

This time, Li Xinyue had challenged her bottom line, and she was furious!

“You bitch, are you trying to rebel?”

“The eldest son’s wife and the second son’s wife, hurry up and go give her a good beating!”

“Just don’t kill her, I’ll take responsibility if she’s crippled!”

As these words fell, Liu Xiulan, who was watching the commotion from a distance, glanced at Wang Mei. Seeing her remain silent, she was furious!

This second son’s wife was always a shrinking violet, no wonder her mother-in-law didn’t like her!

Stepping forward, she reprimanded Li Xinyue.

“Third sister-in-law, this is your mother-in-law, an elder!”

“You’re being disrespectful by talking back like that!”

This eldest sister-in-law was a cunning woman, not a good person at all!

Li Xinyue looked at Liu Xiulan and coldly retorted, “Big sister-in-law, are you saying that she called you a (bitch), and you’re admitting you are a (bitch)?”

“You!”

One sentence directly angered Liu Xiulan, making her liver ache.

Immediately, her face darkened: “Third sister-in-law, I’m just kindly reminding you, being disrespectful will bring down thunder!”

Kindness?

Thunderbolt?

This kind of person, how dare she speak like that?

Li Xinyue sneered: “If Heaven really has eyes, you would have been struck by lightning long ago!”

“All these years, haven’t you done enough evil?”

“You!”

What evil have they done?

Liu Xiulan’s face turned black with anger, just about to retort, but Mrs. Chen couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Eldest son’s wife, what are you arguing with her for?”

“Go give her a few slaps, break her mouth, and make her shut up!”

Liu Xiulan felt this made sense.

Why should she argue with a good-for-nothing?

At this moment, she completely didn’t realize that Li Xinyue was different.

Raising her hand, she stepped forward…

But just as she took a step, her foot suddenly slipped…

“Bang…”

Liu Xiulan went sprawling face-first in the dirt…

“Ah… my nose… my nose… it hurts so much!”

Seeing Liu Xiulan howling, Li Xinyue almost burst out laughing: Was this Heaven’s retribution?

She deserved to break her nose!

“Oh my god, big sister-in-law, didn’t you break your nose?”

Ye Juan, the fourth daughter-in-law of Chen, who had just run in, saw Liu Xiulan’s face covered in blood and immediately screamed…

Seeing her eldest son’s wife wailing, Mrs. Chen was also scared.

“Quick, quick, go to the clinic, don’t let her break her nose!”

Wang Mei and Ye Juan immediately helped her up.

Mrs. Chen was even angrier.

She pointed at Li Xinyue viciously: “You wait for me, if your big sister-in-law is hurt, I’ll see how I deal with you!”

What kind of person was this?

She fell herself, what did it have to do with her?

Li Xinyue was truly angry!

This hateful old woman, why didn’t she fall instead?

Someone as heartless as you, your mouth should be broken!

“Old woman, be a little more conscientious, or Heaven will punish you!”

As soon as this thought crossed Li Xinyue’s mind, suddenly Mrs. Chen’s legs went weak, and she “plop” fell to the ground…

“Ah” she screamed, wailing, “My mouth, my hand… my hand is broken…”

“Mom!”

“Mother-in-law!”

Mrs. Chen, with blood on her mouth, covered her hand and cried out, scaring Ye Juan and Wang Mei into dropping Liu Xiulan and rushing over…

At this moment, no one noticed that Li Xinyue, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, grabbed the doorframe to support herself, her vision blacking out before she fainted…

“Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

After being woken up by her son, Li Xinyue realized she was sitting on the ground.

She touched her forehead: Just now… did she curse successfully?

Did she have a crow’s mouth?

But, she was backlashed?

“…”

Oh my god, what kind of strange ability is this?
