"Tsk tsk tsk, what a sight! I never thought that Feng Cuilan, who usually walks sideways like a crab in our alley, would be thrown into a latrine and covered in excrement today."

"What goes around comes around. No one escapes the wrath of Heaven. Her current situation is all retribution for her past evil deeds."

"Today is a good day, all my wishes will come true. Tonight, when we're eating, we must have a couple of drinks."

Seeing the disheveled state of old woman Feng Cuilan, I suddenly felt much better.

"..."

Seeing Feng Cuilan stagger out of the latrine, looking utterly dejected, the neighbors who had come to join the fun all wore expressions of glee and schadenfreude.

No one sympathized with Feng Cuilan.

When Li Yunlan saw that Feng Cuilan was covered in excrement, her mood, which had been depressed because of being bullied by Feng Cuilan and her son Wang Yuanchao, immediately improved.

She looked around at her eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and mother standing beside her. They were her family. Their love for her was unconditional and selfless.

Her older siblings have always protected her since she was little. Even though she has married far away now, they braved the freezing cold and rushed over from her parents' home, hundreds of miles away, just to support her and give her someone to rely on so that she wouldn't be bullied by others.

As for the Wang family, it sounds good—one is her mother-in-law, and the other is her husband—but they don't genuinely treat her as family.

The husband seems honest, but he lacks his own opinions and is blindly obedient to his parents; his mother is even more mean-spirited and vicious, treating her like a servant...

However, none of that matters anymore. With her older siblings and her mother backing her up, her divorce from Wang Yuanchao is inevitable.

Just then, Feng Cuilan, who had just climbed out of the latrine, suddenly collapsed to the ground, her hands covered in excrement, and she vomited violently onto the ground with a loud "whoosh".

She vomited violently, her forehead veins bulging, her face contorted in a grimace. The acidic, pungent digestive contents spilled from her mouth, scattering in the wind and making people instinctively cover their mouths and noses.

In no time, Feng Cuilan vomited up all the digested and semi-digested food in her stomach and intestines, but she still didn't stop.

After vomiting up the digested and semi-digested food, she continued to dry heave, until cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her eyes became bloodshot.

With tears and snot streaming down his face, mixed with the sticky excrement on his face and clothes, he looked utterly disheveled, not like a human being at all, but more like an old mudfish that had just crawled out of a mud pit.

Li Yunlan and the others stood at the entrance of the Wang family compound, watching her with no pity in their eyes, only the satisfaction of venting their anger.

Huang Zhifang looked at Feng Cuilan and said, "Feng Cuilan, listen to this."

Huang Zhifang pointed at Feng Cuilan, her voice a mix of warning and threat. Her voice wasn't loud, but after the earlier beating of Feng Cuilan and the subsequent throwing of her into the latrine, her words sounded incredibly intimidating to outsiders.

"The malted milk powder was for my daughter, why did you steal it and eat it? The scarf was knitted by my second daughter for her younger sister, why did you steal it and wear it? And the four hundred yuan of secret money my third son gave to Yunlan, why did you steal it?"

"You even dared to hit my daughter."

"Now tell me, where did you hide the money you stole from my daughter? If you dare to be dishonest, I'll have my two sons shove your dog's head into the latrine again. If you don't believe me, then keep your mouth shut."

As soon as Huang Zhifang finished speaking, the neighbors who had run to the Wang family's courtyard to watch the commotion all understood what was going on.

It turns out that Li Yunlan was bullied and beaten until her head bled by Wang Yuanchao and Feng Cuilan because Feng Cuilan tried to steal the malted milk powder her mother gave her and the scarf her sister knitted for her.

That's not all; Feng Cuilan also stole several hundred yuan of her secret stash of money from Li Yunlan's third brother.

Damn, I never expected that this old hag, who is not only sharp-tongued, but also truly black-hearted and greedy.

Li Yunlan's malted milk powder was given to her by her mother to nourish her body, and her scarf was knitted by her sister to keep her warm, but she snatched them both.

She even tried to steal the secret stash of money given to her by the other woman's third brother...

However, the neighbors present were not fools, and they quickly understood the meaning behind Huang Zhifang's words.

Malted milk powder and scarves are fine, but in this day and age, making money is not an easy thing. When a daughter who has married far away comes home to visit her family, it is considered good if her family can give her two catties of pork in return.

But Li Yunlan's family not only gave her malted milk powder and a scarf, but also gave her several hundred yuan as her private savings, which is something that ordinary families cannot do.

"When did Li Yunlan's family become so rich? Her brother gives her several hundred yuan of his own money every time. He's really generous."

"I don't know. I only remember her saying before that her family were hunters in the village, so maybe they made a lot of money hunting."

"However, her family was also generous. When she went back to her parents' home, they brought her back a can of malted milk powder and a scarf, and even gave her a few hundred yuan of their own money."

"Hehe, I think the Wang family is going to lose both their wife and their money this time. Feng Cuilan tried to steal Li Yunlan's private money and keep it for herself, but she didn't expect her family to arrive so quickly. Just you wait and see, Wang Yuanchao and Li Yunlan's marriage will have to end."

"Of course! Feng Cuilan was beaten like this, and Li Yunlan's family even threw her into the latrine and made her roll around. This feud is now set in stone. If she doesn't get a divorce, is she supposed to stay in the Wang family as a maidservant serving that old hag?"

"If she doesn't divorce him and continues to live with Wang Yuanchao and Feng Cuilan, who knows what might happen? Li Yunlan's family lives too far away. If she is bullied again and beaten until her head is bleeding, her family will have to travel a long way to support her."

"I'm afraid of a situation where I can't get help from anyone, and then it will be too late to say anything."

"..."

Cai Er and the others glanced at the people discussing the matter, but said nothing.

They were there to support Li Yunlan as her family, but it wasn't their place to take action against Feng Cuilan and Wang Yuanchao.

The people who took action included Aunt Huang, as well as Li Yunshi, Li Yunmei, and Li Yunshan. They were relatives of the Wang family, and even if the police came, it would only be a dispute between relatives.

They are standing here now to support Li Yunlan, to give her support, and to maintain order.

However, it seems that they don't need to maintain order. The Wang family's neighbors are all quite well-mannered, and even if they want to join in the fun, they won't push too far forward.

At this moment, Feng Cuilan was kneeling on the ground, her hands supporting her weight, her obese body trembling.

Despite being slapped hard across the face by Huang Zhifang and Li Yunmei, her cheeks swollen and red, and even being thrown into the latrine by Li Yunshan, she didn't dare raise her head, look at Li Yunshan and the others, or even retaliate with a curse.

Because she was already terrified of being beaten by Huang Zhifang and the others, and was also afraid of being thrown into the latrine again.

She is sixty years old this year. In her sixty years of life, she has never met anyone as ruthless as Huang Zhifang and others.

In the past, she would argue and fight with her neighbors. At most, the neighbors would argue with her, and if they couldn't win the argument, they would hide in their own homes. No one ever dared to lay a hand on her.

Therefore, she used to be unscrupulous, scolding anyone she could get her hands on.

But Huang Zhifang and the others were different. They didn't show her any mercy or argue with her. They just came up and started attacking her.

Moreover, he was extremely ruthless. When he slapped her across the face, he swung his arm in a wide arc, and the slap on her face really stung.

If she didn't reveal where she hid the money she had stolen from Li Yunlan, Feng Cuilan was certain that Huang Zhifang would dare to have her son throw her back into the latrine.

Upon realizing this, Feng Cuilan trembled all over. Forgetting that her neighbors were still present, she quickly revealed where she had hidden the money.

"I don't know which neighbors can help witness this, but my daughter Li Yunlan just wants to retrieve the money her brother gave her as a secret stash of money, and she needs a witness."

Huang Zhifang glanced at the neighbor who was there to join in the fun and said.

However, those who had come to join the fun looked at each other, and not one of them dared to step forward.

Li Yunshan couldn't help but sneer: "Tch, even with Feng Cuilan in this state, there's not a single person who stands up to help and bear witness. No wonder she's been able to bully you all for so many years."

"Who said that? We just don't want to mess with that old hag."

"Exactly, we're not pushovers either."

Li Yunshan's words really stung many people, and they lowered their heads in shame.

Several neighbors who had been bullied terribly by Feng Cuilan in the past stood up, their faces flushed, and sternly praised themselves.

Li Yunshan ignored them and, together with Li Yunshi, Li Yunmei, and Li Yunlan, went straight into the Wang family's house.

Seeing this, the neighbors, their faces flushed, glanced at Feng Cuilan, who looked as wretched as a dead dog, and then mustered their courage to follow Li Yunshan and the others into the Wang family's house.

"I didn't expect the Wang family's house to be so well-organized, with everything neatly arranged."

"This is all thanks to Li Yunlan. How could someone as lazy and gluttonous as Feng Cuilan possibly have managed to keep this house tidy?"

This was their first time entering the Wang family's house, and once inside, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

Ignoring the neighbors, Li Yunshan went straight to Feng Cuilan's room and, following Feng Cuilan's instructions, pried open a locked cabinet. He then pulled out a tin box from inside.

Opening the lid of the tin box revealed a box full of money, neatly stacked together.

There were ten-yuan notes, five-yuan notes, two-yuan notes, one-yuan notes, and many small bills and coins.

Among them, a stack of brand-new ten-yuan notes stood out conspicuously in the tin box.

Li Yunshan recognized it at a glance; it was the money he had given to Li Yunlan, because the hair tie that bound the money was the same hair tie that Lin Xiulan had used to tie her hair.

Li Yunlan recognized her as well.

With trembling hands, she took out the money, counted it, and only after confirming that it was forty ten-yuan bills did she finally put it into her inner pocket.

After doing all this, Li Yunlan, with the help of Li Yunmei, went to her room to pack her clothes and luggage.

"Don't bother with these old clothes. Your third brother will give you money to buy new ones later. Buy whatever you want."

Li Yunshan watched as Li Yunlan stuffed her and Qianqian's clothes, old and new, into the suitcase, and then spoke up.

In Li Yunshan's view, his fourth sister, Li Yunlan, had already made up her mind to divorce Wang Yuanchao and leave the Wang family, and was about to start a new chapter in her life, so why was she still wearing these old clothes?

As the older brother, he's not short of money. Since he's starting a new chapter in his life, he naturally wants to wear new clothes.

Li Yunlan hesitated for a moment.

Li Yunshi laughed and said, "Fourth Sister, let's not bother with those old clothes. Your Third Brother is rich, he won't let you suffer."

"But……"

Li Yunlan wanted to say that although these clothes were old and many were patched, she had washed them very clean and the patches were neat and tidy, so they were still wearable.

However, when she saw the unquestionable gazes of her eldest and third brothers, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care if you don't take these old clothes with you, but I won't leave them to that old slut outside."

As she spoke, Li Yunlan took out the old clothes she had just put in the suitcase, carried them all outside, and threw them on the ground under everyone's gaze.

Then, she went into the house and glanced around.
