The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 348 Fighting
"That's right! So, with an adult mentally challenged younger brother, the eldest son and his wife already have minor arguments every three days and major fights every five days. How could they possibly raise a baby who's just a month old?"

"Pah~" Another auntie turned her head and spat out the sunflower seed shell in her mouth, then moved closer to Su Jiaojiao's position, lowered her voice and said with a disdainful look, "Don't think that Li Yong is pitiful just because we're saying this. He deserved it all himself."

At this point, she cautiously turned her head to look around the yard, and only continued after confirming that no one had come out: "It is said that when Li Yong was found, he was not wearing pants and his head was covered in blood. You don't even need to guess, he must have been hit on the head and made stupid while having an affair."

"Shufen, why are you telling this to the young comrade?" The aunt next to her tugged at her hem disapprovingly.

After all, this young man looks unmarried, so it's really inappropriate to tell him these things.

When someone interrupted him while he was sharing gossip, he immediately became unhappy and retorted, "Hey~ what's wrong with me saying what I want to say? Li Yong did such a thing, so I can't say anything?"

Su Jiaojiao: “…”

Through the conversations of the aunties, the reason for the argument became clear, but they still couldn't understand what it had to do with them.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and just rushed inside, leaving the auntie unable to stop him.

As soon as Su Jiaojiao rushed into the courtyard, before she could even see anything, a tightly wrapped quilt was aimed straight at her vital spot.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed it, followed by the sound of a baby crying from inside the blanket, along with gasps and curses from those around her.

When the old woman saw that the child who had been thrown out had been caught, her legs immediately went weak and she sat down on the ground with a thud, followed by a surge of anger.

"Ah~ You heartless bastard, no matter what, he is still a member of your Li family, how could you just throw him away like that? I'll fight you to the death, old woman..." Ignoring her legs, which were still weak from fright, the old woman got up from the ground and pounced on Li's sister-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family, who was being pointed at and cursed behind her back by several aunts outside the door, was no pushover. Immediately, with a ferocious and menacing expression, she ignored the fact that the other party was an elderly person with white hair and the pointing and whispering of the people around her, spat on the ground, and pounced on him as well.

"Pah! As soon as Li Lao Er went mad, your family couldn't wait to drag him back. Did you sell him again?" Saying this, he grabbed the other person's hair and pressed down, making her stagger. He originally wanted to press his advantage and hit her back a few times, but seeing that the dirt was up to her neck, he hesitated and instead scratched and pinched her back, making her cry and howl in pain.

"Ouch~ Ouch~ The Li family beat someone to death~ Ouch~" The old lady was old after all, how could she be a match for the young people? After being pinched several more times on her back, tears streamed down her somewhat cloudy eyes from the pain.

“I’d be lenient if I beat you to death. When Li Lao Er was still doing well, your granddaughter was treated like royalty in our Li family. But as soon as he got into trouble, you sent her back home. How dare you come here now?” Sister-in-law Li’s anger flared up as she spoke.

At the time, my brother-in-law was unemployed and idle all day. The eldest son's family spent their money to get him a wife. They thought that once they got him a wife, that would be the end of it, and that the two of them could handle any problems that might arise. But things turned out differently. He borrowed money from them to buy a job, but not long after, he got into trouble, and his wife ran away. He truly lost both his money and his wife.

Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Li's face trembled with hatred, her eyes filled with ferocity, and she hit harder and harder, saying hatefully, "Give us back our Li family's offspring? Families like yours that sell their daughters, are they just having affairs and can't hide it, so they come to us to take over?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the way people looked at the old lady changed, and they began to look at her with a meaningful expression. After all, they were neighbors, and Li Lao Er's wife was quite good-looking.

Whispers began to circulate around them, especially when men huddled together, occasionally letting out unsettling low laughter.

The old lady couldn't stand it. She was both anxious and angry. If this was true, who would dare to come to her house to propose marriage to her daughters?
Immediately forgetting her disadvantageous position, she opened her mouth and started cursing: "Ouch~ Bullshit! Liu Cuihua, your filthy mouth deserves to be torn to pieces... Ouch... Ouch~"

Before she could finish speaking, the soft flesh on her waist was twisted hard again.

"What, did I say something wrong? If you weren't feeling guilty, would you ever see a married daughter being taken back to her parents' home before her husband even died?" Liu Cuihua paused as she reached for the old lady's hand.

As if he had thought of a possibility, he lowered his eyes suspiciously and stared at the back of the old lady's head, asking with murderous intent, "Your granddaughter didn't really do something to betray Li Lao Er, did she? And then he found out, and then she teamed up with that adulterer to beat her brother-in-law senseless?"
Perhaps they wanted to kill him, but he was lucky enough to survive?

The more Liu Cuihua thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Thinking about the money she had lost and her life over the past few months, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she looked at the old woman who was still crying and cursing.

"Pah! You, Liu Cuihua, you've been feeding and caring for her so well. If I hadn't taken my poor granddaughter back with me, she would have been tormented to death by your family sooner or later." The old lady was so angry that she almost ground her few remaining teeth to powder.

She secretly regretted not bringing two more people with her, otherwise she wouldn't be being beaten like this.

He was also angry that so many onlookers didn't step in to break up the fight.

Ignoring the pain of her hair being pulled and grabbed, she plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing, "My poor granddaughter! Ever since she married into the Li family, she's been working like a slave, day and night, even when she was pregnant she didn't get a break!"

"It breaks my heart to see this old woman like me like this~" she said, pressing her fist against her chest and pounding it hard twice. With tears streaming down her white hair and the deep wrinkles on her face, she looked incredibly pitiful.

Those watching the commotion began to feel sorry for the spectators.

It wasn't that they were heartless and unwilling to break up the fight, but rather that neither of the two Li brothers was someone to be trifled with, and since everyone knew they lived in the courtyard, no one was willing to step forward for their own family matters.
