When Granny Liu saw that the porridge had gone cold, she didn't drink it. Instead, she went to find the old man. There were still some pastries in the cupboard, and the two of them ate them in the room.

After Huang Lanhua finished taking care of Liu Yiyue, she remembered that Yu Guixiang hadn't eaten yet. The white rice porridge was still warm in the earthenware pot. She poured the porridge into a bowl and called for Laifu to take it to his mother.

"Laifu, Laifu, come here quickly, take the porridge to your mother and feed her."

Instead of calling for Laifu, Laicai ran over and said, "Grandma, don't call for Big Brother anymore, he's not home."

"It's already dark, and your older brother isn't home. Where did he go?"

"My older brother went to my maternal grandmother's house and won't be back tonight."

Hurry up and feed my mother, she's starving.

"What? You mean Laifu went to your grandma's house? Who let him go? He's got some nerve!"

Huang Lanhua carried the porridge to Yu Guixiang's room and placed the bowl heavily on the cabinet next to her. "Eldest daughter-in-law, did you send Laifu back to his maternal grandmother's house?"

Why are you making a scene when everything is in the past? Are you trying to ruin the family? Does nobody get to have a good life?

I'll take good care of you during your postpartum period and help you recover. Once Qingshan returns, you can have another child if you want. Holding onto this issue now is putting me in a difficult position.

Yu Guixiang was too tired to argue with her, so she closed her eyes and ignored her.

Huang Lanhua spoke with great enthusiasm, but Yu Guixiang ignored her and stormed off.

Lai Cai sat down beside his mother's bed and said, "Mother, I'll feed you some porridge."

Lai Cai spooned the warm porridge into Yu Guixiang's mouth.

With tears in her eyes, Huang Lanhua poured the medicine into a bowl and fed it to Liu Yiyue while murmuring, "My dear daughter, please get better soon. Why is my life so hard? There are so many things to do at home, and no one is helping."

The elderly only care about themselves, the young are useless, and both are sick and unable to get out of bed. Life is simply unbearable.

Exhausted from a long day, she lay down next to Liu Yiyue on an empty stomach. She no longer cared whether her children had returned home or not, and drifted off to sleep.

Lai Cai and his sister Daya fell asleep by Yu Guixiang's bed. Lai Gui and his sister were too scared to go back to the room, so the two siblings hid in the empty room, hugging each other and curling up all night.

Daylight finally broke, and Liu Yiyue's fever subsided, and she regained her energy. Huang Lanhua cooked and brewed medicine early in the morning, cursing Liu Yiyue a hundred times in her heart. But what she was more worried about was what to do when the Yu family came today.

When Liu Yiyue arrived at the kitchen, she saw her mother stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon. "Mother."

"Honey, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Much better."

"The meal is ready. Have a bowl of porridge in a bit. Your sister-in-law's medicine is simmering in the pot right now. We'll simmer your medicine in a little while."

"My dear daughter, look at your mother! Am I even alive anymore? Why is my life so miserable? There are so many people in this family, and I have to manage everything inside and outside by myself. I just can't hold on any longer!"

"I understand your suffering, Mother. I see it all and it pains me deeply. With my help, you'll get through this difficult time."

"In January, your sister-in-law sent Laifu back to her parents' home to call for help. What should I do if her family comes? Give me some advice."

"Mother, if my sister-in-law's family comes, we should apologize to them properly and ask for their forgiveness."

"If an apology can solve the problem, I'd kneel down for them. The Yu family is not to be trifled with, and I'm afraid this matter won't end well."

"Let's apologize sincerely. If they don't accept it, let them go find the person who hit them. This wasn't something I did; I'm also a victim."

"Mother, don't you see what time it is? You can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of them? Besides, your uncle's family has never treated you well. What use are they except for taking advantage of you?"

"How can it be useless? With your uncle around, your mother has a sense of security in this family."

My dear daughter, you don't understand the importance of your family. Without your family, who will support you?

Lai Gui and Er Ya woke up and ran to their room to check on their aunt. They found her gone, but since she was already awake, they knew everything was alright.

The two siblings wandered around the yard and heard their aunt and grandmother talking in the kitchen. They quickly opened the yard gate and ran out. They wanted to tell their younger aunt that their aunt had woken up and that she shouldn't worry.

When Laifu arrived at the Yu family's door, he banged on the door loudly, "Grandma, Grandpa, open the door quickly, it's me, Laifu."

Upon hearing the knocking, Boss Yu immediately went out of the house and heard Lai Fu's voice.

He quickly walked a few steps and opened the door. "Laifu, why did you come alone? Then I saw Yuchun standing behind me."

"Brother Changsheng, I came here with Laifu on the behalf of Sister Guixiang. If there's anything you need, let Laifu tell you. I'll head back now."

"Okay, thank you, Yuchun."

As soon as Laifu entered, he shouted, "Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, you must avenge my mother and brother!"

"Laifu, what's wrong? What happened? What's wrong with your mother and brother?"

Laifu recounted what had happened, and the Yu family members were furious. "Do they think the Yu family has no one to rely on?"

"Laifu, don't be afraid, your uncles will stand up for you."

After having dinner with the Yu family, they arranged for him to go to bed with his cousin.

The Yu family gathered together to discuss what to do. They weren't too worried about their daughter; on the contrary, they were quite excited.

Yu Changsheng said, "Father and Mother, this time we must not only avenge my sister, but also make the Liu and Huang families bleed profusely. We must tear a piece of flesh from both of them and not let up."

"Boss, what do you mean by this?"

"Father, Mother, this is a matter of life and death. If the Liu family wants to settle this peacefully, they have to compensate our family. Didn't Laifu say that his aunt is back? His aunt paid for his mother's medicine, and she gave us 20 taels of silver."

Lai Fu's eldest aunt lived with his second aunt, Liu Siyue. The two sisters had a very good relationship and should have given him a lot of money. Even if she didn't have any, she could ask her sister Siyue for it.

Laifu also said that his aunt gave 20 taels of silver as a dowry for his aunt, so those two items totaled 40 taels. He must have a lot of money on hand.

If the Liu family doesn't give it to us, we'll turn their house upside down. We're in the right, and even if they bring the village chief, we're not afraid.

"Big brother is right. The Liu family doesn't even have a decent man anymore. Even if they were to fight, they couldn't beat us."

Yu Changsheng continued, "After we deal with the Liu family, we'll deal with the Huang family. If they don't give us the money, we'll threaten to report them to the authorities. They did kill someone."

"Brother, how many do you think would be appropriate for us?"

"The fault this time lies mainly with the Huang family, but they are the maternal relatives of the Huang family. We want 50 taels from the Liu family and 100 taels from the Huang family."

"Brother, the Huang family isn't exactly wealthy. Could you possibly get 100 taels?"

"The Huang family may not have any, but isn't there Madam Huang? They can ask Madam Huang for it. If Madam Huang doesn't have any, isn't there her daughter? Her daughter is a rich person!"

"Big brother is so thoughtful. It seems our family is going to make a fortune this time. Once we get the money, we'll build a big brick house."

"Getting the money won't be easy. No matter what, even if they bargain, our ultimate goal is to get the money."

"Father, Mother, what's your opinion?"

"We think the same way. We need to ask a few brothers from our clan for help. I'm afraid those Huang brothers will be difficult to deal with."

"Okay, I'll go find someone now, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
