Hearing the woman's heart-wrenching screams, Jiang Yuyan felt a pang of emotion and touched her heart.

Looking up at the two people kneeling on the ground, their rough, scarred hands were the result of years of hard work.

Looking at the middle-aged man standing casually behind Granny Jiang, and the people around him, they were all fatter and stronger than the two people on the ground.

Some villagers disapproved of Granny Jiang's actions.

"Who says otherwise? In the Jiang family, Jiang Gou Dan's family are always treated like slaves, doing all the dirty and hard work, yet they get the worst food. And even after all that, Grandma Jiang, you still want to kick them out?"

"Hahaha, if you kick them out, who will do the work for your family? Your son, Jiang Laoda, is a worker, but Jiang Laosan? He's a good-for-nothing."

Old Man Jiang objected, "Uncle, why do you say that so harshly? Jiang Gou Dan's family can do whatever they want; it's not like we're forcing them. Besides, this is their home too. What's wrong with them doing some work?"

Jiang Laosan's wife chimed in, "That's right, besides, Second Uncle's son, Mu Xuan, broke his leg and can't work or earn money. Are we supposed to have our whole family bleed money to pay for his treatment?"

"Also, my second uncle's son, Mu Yi, was arrested by the police at a young age for speculation and profiteering. He deserved it. Why should our Jiang family have to ruin our reputation and be destroyed along with him?"

Upon hearing this, the previously wavering Old Lady Jiang instantly became resolute and immediately shouted,

"Go, go and call the brigade leader right now. Our Jiang family is splitting up, and the second branch of the family is being separated."

"No need to call, I'm already here!" The captain looked at Old Lady Jiang with a complicated expression. "Are you sure you want to separate Gou Dan's family? Or are you going to leave with nothing?"

"Mother!!" Jiang Gou Dan cried out in anguish.

He never expected his mother to be so heartless. It only cost ten yuan to save Mu Xuan's life. Why wouldn't she give him the family's money?

Old Granny Jiang ignored her and said, "Yes, Captain, I want to separate the family now. Jiang Gou Dan's family should be separated. They did such a despicable thing, so it would be best if they left with nothing."

Captain: "....."

Seeing that he didn't move, Old Man Jiang's eyes darted around, and he said, feigning nonchalance.

"Captain, it's not that our Jiang family is heartless or that we'd rather see the third brother's family suffer than help them. But if outsiders find out that they have a son who committed a crime, who will dare to come to our village to arrange marriages in the future?"

The villagers initially thought their actions were too cruel, but upon reflection, they realized they made perfect sense.

Every family has children. If a criminal were to appear in their brigade, the brigade's reputation would be ruined.

Jiang Gou Dan and his wife collapsed to the ground in agony, their bodies vacant and lifeless, as if their souls had left their bodies and they could hear nothing.

The captain sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. He asked Old Lady Jiang again.

"Old Jiang family, are you sure you want to kick Gou Dan's whole family out with nothing?"

"Yes! Confirmed! We'll do it today!"

"Wait! I disagree!"

A clear voice interrupted their conversation, and everyone looked over to see a beautiful woman, unlike any of the villagers, standing out from the crowd.

Jiang Laosan's eyes lit up. Upon seeing the beautiful woman, he subconsciously drooled, wiped his hair, and struck a pose that he thought was very handsome.

"Excuse me, lady, who are you? You're not from the 'Shit-Smelling Brigade,' are you? Here to visit relatives? My name is—"

Jiang Yuyan ignored him completely, walked straight to Jiang Gou Dan's side, and helped the two people who were still kneeling on the ground up.

He carefully brushed the dust off their legs. "The ground is hard; kneeling will hurt you. Are you alright?"

Jiang Gou Dan was stunned. When his wife, Hu Ye, saw Jiang Yu Yan's familiar yet unfamiliar face, she couldn't hide her excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"You, you, could it be...?"

Jiang Yuyan smiled slightly at her and nodded, "Mother, if I'm not mistaken, I am your family's biological daughter. My name is Yuyan, Jiang Yuyan."

"Okay, good boy, how did you end up here? Weren't you just sitting there—"

Hu Ye, who was initially happy, suddenly changed her expression, thinking that her child had been rejected by the city people and had rushed back.

She wasn't the only one who thought this way.

"Oh, so that's who it is. It's the fake heiress who was switched at birth. Ha, now that she's back, she must have been kicked out by the rich people in the city, right?"

Old Granny Jiang was sarcastic and couldn't stand that a little girl dared to interrupt her and ignore her existence.

Jiang Yuyan patted Hu Ye's hand reassuringly, signaling with her eyes to keep quiet and let her handle it.

Ignoring Old Granny Jiang's sarcastic remarks, she looked at the brigade leader.

"Captain, I am Jiang Yuyan, the biological daughter of Jiang Gou Dan. The Jiang family wants to kick us out with nothing."

I have a few questions I'd like to ask. If I've offended you, please forgive me, Captain. I'm young and naive, and my words may have been harsh.

The captain nodded, wanting to hear what Jiang Gou Dan's suddenly appearing daughter had to say.

"Since ancient times, being forced to leave a family with nothing is only possible if one has committed a serious mistake within the family."

"Then, I would like to ask the brigade leader and the Jiang family, what serious mistake has my family made?"

Captain: "....."

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't care. "Hmph, I'm his mother. If I want him to leave with nothing, he has to leave with nothing. No one can stop me from doing so."

Jiang Yuyan raised an eyebrow. "So, even in the Shit-Smelling Brigade, feudal remnants have lingered for so long."

"Can I also report this to the police, saying that someone here is trying to restore feudalism and engage in authoritarianism?"

Old Lady Jiang: "!!!!!!!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They never expected that this woman would say something that would send them all away.

The captain quickly spoke up, "No, that's absolutely not what happened! Comrade Jiang, please don't act impulsively."

Old Granny Jiang's lips trembled, "You...you little brat, whew, I, ouch..."

"Hey, Mother, are you alright? Quick, help me inside—"

"Wait a minute!" Boss Jiang's wife was unwilling to let the matter drop.

She finally came back today, just to get the Jiang family to separate the second son's family, preferably leaving them with nothing, so that the money left would belong to the eldest son's family.

Unexpectedly, a brat suddenly appeared and disrupted all her plans.

Jiang Laoda's wife, Xia Hong, came to Jiang Laotaipo's side, whispered a few words in her ear, and instantly made Jiang Laotaipo, who was trying to pretend to be uncomfortable, stand up straight again.

"Ahem, no need, I'm fine. Ahem, Captain, we still need to separate the family, but let's forget about the parting with nothing that I just mentioned."

However, the second son's family has a son who committed a crime, and our Jiang family can't afford to take him in, so we've decided to sever ties with them.

"Hiss!" Everyone except Jiang Yuyan gasped.

They didn't understand why the Jiang family was being so ruthless.

Isn't Jiang Gou Dan her son? She's so biased.

Jiang Gou Dan and his wife gasped for breath, gripping each other's hands tightly for support.

Jiang Yuyan glanced at Xia Hong. It seemed that this woman held absolute power in the Jiang family.

"Okay! But I demand that you bring out the family account books and calculate my parents' family's accounts line by line. Only by calculating them clearly can we avoid future disputes."
