Chapter 1: Today, whoever dares to sell my daughter, I will take off one of their arms

“Slap!”

Shen Xuezhu felt a slap on her face.

Wasn’t it just that she saw her scumbag boyfriend cheating on a female colleague, heartbroken, and drank a bottle of wine? How could someone slap her?

No, she was sitting on the sofa drinking alone, and the doors of her house were tightly closed. Who could break into her house and slap her?

“Useless thing! I just pushed her lightly, and she fainted.”

A string of scolding came from her ear, and Shen Xuezhu suddenly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a thatched cottage.

Suddenly, she felt like she was being electrocuted, and a stream of unfamiliar memories surged into her brain.

It made her clearly understand that she had transmigrated!

She had transmigrated into an ancient rural woman with the same name as her.

Here, was a dynasty that had never existed in history.

— Nanye.

Not long ago, the original owner saw two strange men being led into the house by her mother-in-law.

When she went forward to ask, she learned that her mother-in-law was actually going to sell her eldest daughter.

Thinking that her eldest daughter would be sold and they would never see each other again in this lifetime.

She went crazy and tugged at her mother-in-law, and in a burst of intense pushing and shoving, her mother-in-law lost her balance and pushed her hard.

Her head hit the wall and she died on the spot.

…

Shen Xuezhu, through the original owner’s memories, heard that the person who had just scolded her was her mother-in-law, Song Guimiao.

Three years ago, the original owner’s husband, Lu Xiaoshan, went hunting in the mountains and never returned.

Some people in the village said that Lu Xiaoshan was eaten by the tigers in the mountains.

Some people also said that he was killed by bandits.

Three months after Lu Xiaoshan disappeared, Song Guimiao began to beat and scold the original owner.

She had to do all the housework by herself, and she also had to do the work in the fields.

When she was tired and wanted to rest for half a day.

Song Guimiao would lock her and her three daughters in the woodshed and not give them anything to eat or drink for a day.

Even the money that Lu Xiaoshan earned from hunting was all taken away by Song Guimiao.

The original owner had no money and, for the sake of her two daughters having something to eat, she could only work hard every day to finish the housework and work in the fields.

When she was too tired to get up in the morning, Song Guimiao would stand at her door and directly start scolding.

All sorts of vicious words, and nasty words were said.

After finally getting out of bed, she would still be beaten by Song Guimiao.

…

Shen Xuezhu sympathized with the original owner’s experience and hated the grandmother who sold her granddaughter.

Since she had come to this world, she would protect the two children!

She stood up from the ground and saw Song Guimiao standing next to a middle-aged man, watching him write something on a piece of paper.

Shen Xuezhu leaned in and saw the words “sale contract”.

While the middle-aged man wasn’t paying attention, she snatched the sale contract.

She smoothly tore the sale contract into four pieces and stuffed them into her clothes.

“You damned bitch! How could you tear up the sale contract? Why didn’t I beat you to death earlier?”

With that, Song Guimiao grabbed a bamboo stick at random and hit Shen Xuezhu.

Shen Xuezhu grabbed the bamboo stick, snatched it, and threw it away.

Her cold eyes looked at Song Guimiao, “You only know how to beat your daughter-in-law, what’s the use of selling your granddaughter? Today, whoever dares to sell my daughter, I will take off one of their arms!”

“What a big tone! Who are you threatening? Lu Xiaoyue is definitely going to be sold today, when will the house be up to you?”

Lu Xiaohe walked out of the bedroom, followed by his wife, Tian Zhixiang.

He was struck by Shen Xuezhui with a fatal blow. He was kneeling on one leg on the ground.

“Shen Xuezhui, you’re crazy! My leg is about to break! Let me go, or you’ll be sorry!”

Xie Zhigan was frightened and hid behind Song Guimiao.

Song Guimiao saw that Xie Zhigan was afraid and stood behind her, so she was angry with her.

“Second daughter-in-law, you’re hiding behind me, what’s the matter with you? I’d have given that scoundrel a beating!”

“I… I don’t dare,” Xie Zhigan whispered from behind Song Guimiao.

Just then, she saw a bamboo stick in the distance. She secretly picked it up and handed it to Song Guimiao.

“Mom, you’re much stronger than me. You can definitely calm down Mrs. Shen. This family can’t just let her go on like this.”

Song Guimiao thought, “I’m definitely stronger than you.”

Shen Xuezhui is a ruthless woman who doesn’t talk much. Since Xie Zhigan thinks she’s crazy, she’ll go ahead and “be crazy” then.

If she didn’t “go crazy”, she’d be locked up in the cowshed by now, and Small Moon would have been taken away by the men.

She wants to beat up Xie Zhigan, so she can’t let Xie Zhigan beat her back.

Immediately, the sound of screaming and wailing filled the air.

In her past life, she was a one-year black belt in martial arts. Although she’s been working hard all day, her physical strength still holds up on critical occasions.

Xie Zhigan is lying on the ground in pain, hissing and baring his teeth. He lifts his head and points at Shen Xuezhui with his finger.

“You… you… you witch…”

“You dare to insult me? I’ll give you another kick!” Shen Xuezhui raises her leg, threatening to kick him.

Xie Zhigan turns his head and looks at Song Guimiao. “Mom, please stop Shen Xuezhui, she’s crazy!”

Song Guimiao snaps out of her shock and grabs the bamboo stick from Xie Zhigan’s hand. “Let her have it!”

Shen Xuezhui quickly grabs the bamboo stick from Song Guimiao’s hand and tears it out of her grip.

Instantly, the bamboo stick falls into her hands.

She doesn’t want to hit Song Guimiao.

She raises her hand and snaps the bamboo stick in two.

She issues a warning, “Grandma, if you two continue to beat me, this bamboo stick will be your downfall!”

Small Moon, who has been tied up, sees this scene and cries.

Her mom has finally changed.

Her mom used to just swallow her anger and resentment.

Her son, Small Lily, stands next to her and yells at Shen Xuezhui, “Mom, quickly untie my sister!”

Shen Xuezhui nods at them.

One of the larger men, a henchman, gets impatient. “What’s going on here? Is this some kind of family dispute? I need to take them away!”

Song Guimiao gives a subtle signal to him to look at the bench. He immediately understands and picks up the bench, holding it behind Shen Xuezhui.

Small Moon accidentally sees his action and screams at the top of her lungs, “Mom, be careful behind you! The bench…!”

Shen Xuezhui turns around and kicks the bench away.

She then kicks the henchman twice.

The scene erupts into more screams and wailing.

Shen Xuezhui takes advantage of the situation to untie the henchman’s waistband and bind his hands neatly.

“You used the bench to attack me, don’t you dare hurt me? If you’re smart, call your brother to open the gate for you!”

The henchman is unhappy and yells at Shen Xuezhui, “You’re a wicked stepmother, you’re so cruel and ruthless!”

Shen Xuezhui remains calm, “What’s the point of yelling? If you just apologize to me, you can go free. Look at how you’ve beaten up Xie Zhigan over there!”

Shen Xuezhui points to Xie Zhigan, who is lying on the ground in agony.

The henchman is reluctant to open the gate, but Shen Xuezhui suggests that his brother go open it instead.

She didn’t want to go open the gate herself, but then what would happen to her children if the henchman’s brother threatened them?

In the end, she has no choice but to stand her ground and wait.

Not long after, the henchman suggests that the middle-aged man he brought with him go open the gate.

The gate is opened, and the villagers who were curious about the commotion come in to join in.

The two henchmen realize they can’t do business today and storm out.
