Liu Cuier, lying in the mud, didn't even flinch.

In her bloodshot almond-shaped eyes, only bone-chilling coldness and disgust remained.

Watching her own father grovel like a lapdog, she didn't even bother to glance at him again, instead spitting out a mouthful of bloody mud from between her teeth.

"A pair of beasts."

"You jinx! Who are you calling a jinx?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Changgui immediately became agitated.

With two hundred yuan in cash, meat, noodles, cigarettes, alcohol, and a lifetime of happiness all tied to this marriage certificate, how dare this brat still cause trouble in front of everyone?

If I anger my rich husband again and he goes back on his word, where will he find such immense wealth again?!

Liu Changgui leaped to his feet, raised his uninjured hand, and with a ferocious expression, prepared to slap Liu Cuier hard across the head.

"You shameless bastard! I'll beat you to a pulp today—"

*Smack!*

A crisp sound, even louder than before, echoed through the main room.

Before Liu Changgui's slap could even touch a single hair on Liu Cuier's head, he was slapped hard across the face by Ma Santuzi, which sent him spinning halfway through the air before his back slammed heavily against the edge of the earthen bed, making him groan in pain.

"Are you fucking itching to do it again?!"

Ma Santuzi rubbed his sore palm and glared fiercely at Liu Changgui, who was covering his face in a daze:

"What did I just tell you? This is my wife now! If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll chop off your hand first!"

Liu Changgui trembled with fear, covered his burning face, and dared not utter another word, only nodding frantically.

After teaching Liu Changgui a lesson, Ma Santuzi slowly turned around and squatted down in front of Liu Cuier again.

He looked at Liu Cuier's unyielding, lifeless eyes, sneered, and reached out to lift her blood-stained chin:

"Little wild horse, are you trying to fool me here?"

"I know you're ruthless. You'd even dare to chop up your own father with a knife. You don't care about this old bastard's life or death at all."

As Ma Santuzi finished speaking, a sinister smile crept across his face.

He didn't continue looking at Liu Cuier, but instead turned his head slightly, his sinister triangular eyes falling almost imperceptibly on Liu Da Niang, who was slumped over the Eight Immortals table and still unconscious.

"You don't care about this good-for-nothing old man..."

Ma San the Bald deliberately dragged out the sound:

"As a daughter, you can't just abandon your own mother to the point of not caring whether she lives or dies, can you?"

Liu Cuier's eyes, which had been as cold as death, suddenly narrowed.

The next second, she started struggling violently again, pushing her shoulders upwards so hard that the two burly men behind her swayed.

"You dare touch my mother?!"

Liu Cuier glared at Ma Santuzi, her voice already hoarse from shouting, but every word still carried a fierce intensity that seemed to want to bite someone to death.

"Ma Laosan! If you dare touch a single hair on her head, even if I become a ghost, I will come back and chop your whole family up one by one!"

"Why--"

Not only was Ma Santuzi not angry, but he also smiled and waved his hand.

"Look at your temper, why do you always talk about murder?"

He reached out and patted Liu Cuier's blood-stained face. Seeing her open her mouth to bite again, he immediately withdrew his hand, grinning with his yellow teeth as he smiled even more happily.

"Who told you I was going to lay a hand on your mother?"

"Although I'm not a good person, since you're about to become my wife, then the person lying on the ground is my mother-in-law."

"Even if I'm a scoundrel, there's no reason for me to go and mess with my mother-in-law for no reason, is there?"

Liu Cuier stared intently at him without saying a word.

The smile on Ma Santuzi's face gradually turned gloomy.

He raised his hand and pointed at the unconscious Granny Liu.

"I'm talking about—you."

"Weren't you being pretty arrogant just now?"

"So you're not going to just chop anyone who gets in your way?"

"Okay."

Keep up the good work today.

"Break free from them, pick up the knife on the ground, and come at me again."

"If you really have the ability, then chop me, Liu Changgui, and everyone else in this room up to pieces, and I'll admit defeat!"

Ma Santuzi paused suddenly at this point.

Those triangular eyes were fixed on Liu Cuier.

"But what if you die?"

The fierce look on Liu Cuier's face suddenly froze for a moment.

Ma Santuzi immediately grasped this point.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

He stood up with a cold laugh, slowly walked to Aunt Liu's side, and bent down to look at the woman who had not yet woken up.

"Take a look for yourself."

"Liu Changgui beat him so badly he didn't even know who he was anymore."

"His face is so swollen, his mouth is full of blood, and we don't even know if he has any broken bones."

"Even if you're lucky enough to wake up today, what about the future?"

Ma Santuzi suddenly turned around and pointed at Liu Changgui, who was huddled beside the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"You were still with that old bastard?"

"You just saw it with your own eyes."

"This old bastard would sell his own daughter for a mere two hundred yuan!"

"Just now, in order to please that idiot of yours, I almost smashed your head open with a stick again!"

"If you really ruin your life, who will protect your mother in the future?"

Liu Cuier suddenly pursed her lips.

The shoulders that had been struggling upwards, one after another, stopped for the first time.

Upon seeing this, Ma Santuzi's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Liu Changgui?"

"You're counting on him?"

"Once you're dead, if he dares to hit your mother today, he'll dare to kick her out of this house tomorrow!"

"Your mother is so old, and her health has deteriorated to this state. She can't do farm work, she can't carry timber, and she can't even earn enough to eat."

"How does she make a living?"

Who heats the kang (a traditional heated bed) for her in winter?

"Who will get her medicine when she's sick?"

"If Liu Changgui really kicks her out, will she sleep in a pile of firewood or beg for food on the street?"

One sentence after another.

Liu Cuier stopped cursing.

However, the blood vessels in his eyes, which were staring intently at Ma Santuzi, grew increasingly dense, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that his cheeks bulged slightly.

"Shut up……"

When Ma Santuzi heard this, he laughed even harder.

"I'm not going to shut up."

"You think you're so tough?"

"Then keep risking your life!"

"Anyway, once you're dead, I don't have to worry about anything anymore."

"At least you've gotten rid of everything."

"But what about your mother?"

"Who's in charge?"

"Who will raise it?!"

"I told you to shut up!!"

Liu Cuier suddenly let out a piercing scream, her eyes instantly turning a frightening red.

This time, however, she did not struggle desperately to climb higher.

Ma Santuzi looked at her and finally slowly grinned.

he knows.

I've got it.

"Isn't that right?"

Ma Santuzi walked back to her and squatted down.

"It's your own life, you can do whatever you want with it, it's none of my business."

"But can you really ignore your mother's life?"

Liu Cuier's chest heaved violently, and she remained silent.

Ma Santuzi didn't urge him either.

He simply bent down, picked up the crumpled marriage certificate from the ground, and shook it in front of her.

"What I just said still stands."

"Liu Changgui's debts have been settled."

"Two hundred yuan as a bride price, you shall still give it."

"After you married into my family, your mother didn't want to live with that old beast Liu Changgui—"

Ma Santuzi suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Liu Changgui.

"Then we won't!"

"I'll find her another place to stay!"

"I'll pay for her medical treatment now!"

"From now on, she won't have to worry about food, drink, firewood for the kang (heated brick bed), or the cost of medical treatment and medicine."

"If Liu Changgui ever dares to touch her again—"

Ma Santuzi's eyes suddenly hardened.

"I chopped off his claws with my own hands!"

Liu Changgui's face turned pale upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

Ma Santuzi looked at Liu Cuier again.

A sinister grin slowly resurfaced on his face.

"How's it going, little wild horse?"

"Aren't you the one who protects your mother the most?"

"Now I'm giving you a chance."

"You come with me."

"I'll raise her for you."

"This deal—"

Are you going to do it or not?
