“You wait and see if I dare.”

After saying this, she raised the rattan whip in her hand and stretched it toward a nearby hen. In no time, the old hen was snatched into her left hand.

Seeing that Old Zhang was now so enraged he was dumbstruck, Jian Xiu even coldly curled her lips.

She then slowly placed her right hand on the hen’s neck and gave a gentle twist…

“Crack…”

The hen met its fate right then and there.

“You cursed thing! There are only two egg-laying hens in the house, and you dare… dare… Just wait, I’ll kill you!”

After saying this, Old Liu began to look around, trying to find something to use as a weapon.

However, before she could find anything, she was struck by the rattan whip in Jian Xiu’s hand from behind.

This lash, Jian Xiu put all her strength into it.

If she weren’t so hungry and weak, this whip would have knocked Old Liu down instantly.

“Ow…”

At this moment, Old Zhang finally came to his senses and shouted at his three sons, “What are you still standing there for? Don’t you see her going mad?”

“Oh, oh, oh… Ah…”

Before the words were even finished, all three of his sons had fallen to the ground at the same time.

Not for any other reason, but because they themselves didn’t even know how Jian Xiu had gotten to them in an instant.

They had no idea how it happened, but her foot had already kicked them in the abdomen.

The three big men collapsed in sync.

“You want to pick on Xiu’er, come for me instead! Don’t bully her, come for me!” Zhang Zixuan shouted from inside.

Seeing this, Liutou immediately ran toward the house.

“Father, don’t worry, mother wasn’t bullied. She’s very tough!” Liutou said proudly, whispering into Zhang Zixuan’s ear.

Then, he told Zhang Zixuan everything that had happened outside.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zixuan didn’t feel relieved.

Instead, he grew more worried for himself.

He understood his own mother well, and would she really let this go so easily?

As expected, just as this thought crossed his mind, he saw his mother coming toward them with an axe.

She immediately grabbed Liutou, placed the axe at his neck, and shouted at Jian Xiu, “Jian Xiu, do you believe that I’ll chop him to death?”

At this, Jian Xiu indeed paused for a moment.

Of course, she didn’t stop because she was afraid.

After all, after crossing over and receiving the memories of her former self, the first thing she questioned was her husband Zhang Zixuan’s identity.

She had always been curious.

There were four sons in the Zhang family, and Zhang Zixuan was the youngest.

Isn’t it said that the youngest child is usually the favorite?

But Zhang Zixuan didn’t seem to enjoy that treatment at all.

On the contrary, among the four brothers, he was the one who suffered the most in the family.

His father didn’t love him, and his mother didn’t care for him.

This was the truth about him.

Looking at his appearance, he was completely different from the villagers.

There wasn’t even a trace of similarity between him and his three brothers.

If this were before, Jian Xiu might not have thought too much about it.

But today, as she saw Old Madam Liu holding an axe to Liutou’s neck, this thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Compared to the sons from the first, second, and third households, Old Liu had always treated them like treasures.

Yet her own two sons had never been treated as people.

“I’m telling you, Jian Xiu, in this house, it’s not your turn to act wildly!” Old Madam Liu said proudly, thinking she had Jian Xiu under control.

“I’ll count to three, and if you don’t let go of him, don’t blame me for the consequences.”

Saying this, Jian Xiu slowly squatted down and, in front of everyone, picked up a few small stones from the ground.

“Let go? You must be dreaming! Today, I won’t be able to teach you a lesson, but I can still teach this little beast a lesson. You don’t think I’ll be scared just because you say a few words, do you? Hahaha…”

“One…”

“Two…”

“I only ask you one thing: let go? Or not?” Jian Xiu asked again, her face expressionless.

As she spoke, Jian Xiu exuded a cold aura, as if she could freeze the surrounding air, making people involuntarily feel a sense of awe.

The killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable.

Even Old Zhang instinctively took two steps back.

But Old Madam Liu didn’t see any of this.

She still looked smug and raised the axe in her hand confidently.

“Mother, I’m scared… Wuwuwu…” Liutou, still a child, cried as the large axe was held to his neck.

Seeing this, Zhang Zixuan felt a sharp pain in his heart and said with sorrow, “Mother, are you really going to do this? No matter what, Liutou is your grandson, can you bear to do this to him?”

“Grandson? Bah! He’s just a little bastard! He’s just…”

At this point, Old Madam Liu seemed to remember something and quickly stopped herself from saying more.

She suddenly looked up at Jian Xiu with a savage expression and shouted, “You don’t think that after what you’ve done to me today, I’ll let you off so easily, do you?”

“Clang…”

Before she could finish her words, the axe in her hand dropped to the ground.

Immediately after, her knees felt numb for some reason, and with a “thud,” she fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jian Xiu quickly stepped forward, grabbed her chin with her right hand, and sternly said:

“I said I would count to three. That means three. I also gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you didn’t cherish it.”

After speaking, Jian Xiu tightened her grip on Old Madam Liu’s chin until there was a “crack…”

It was clearly the sound of her chin dislocating. Just hearing the sound made everyone feel pain.

At this moment, Old Madam Liu’s eyes widened in fear as she looked at Jian Xiu, full of disbelief and mixed with a trace of fear.

Because she really saw the murderous intent in Jian Xiu’s eyes.

She wanted to say something, but realized she couldn’t speak at all.

Her jaw was dislocated, and it hurt so much that she couldn’t move.

So, she turned her desperate gaze to Old Zhang.

But what she didn’t know was that Old Zhang himself was also in a daze.

When did the youngest daughter-in-law become so ruthless?

Looking utterly confused, Old Zhang didn’t notice the pleading look in Old Madam Liu’s eyes at all.

However, Jian Xiu didn’t give her any chance to react.

She lifted her right leg and kicked Old Madam Liu.

This kick, she used all her strength.

But even so, it only sent Old Madam Liu flying a distance of less than ten feet.
