The matter of suing the Old Madam in court shocked Yun Gang and Yun Lin’s families.
When Yun Shan received the news, he quickly turned down his work and returned to his rural home.
When Yun Shan entered the house, he saw Yun Xi taking out some damp bedding and placing it in the courtyard to dry.
When Yun Shan saw Yun Xi, he became particularly agitated, and he quickly walked over to Yun Xi’s side.
“What are you doing? Let’s just settle the family matters at home. How can you still sue your grandmother in court? How old is your grandmother? Can she still withstand such torment? Moreover, how do you want the neighbors to view our family?” Yun Shan’s emotions were getting more and more agitated.
Yun Xi raised her head to look at the agitated Yun Shan.
“It’s not like I’m the one who did something wrong. I’m just using the weapon of the law to protect my own legitimate rights and interests! As for how others view it, that’s their business. As long as I have a clear conscience, that’s fine.” Yun Xi did not care about these rumors and slanders from the outside world.
This kind of case could have been tried in public. Even if it was not known by the villagers, it would have been known by some of the people watching from the sidelines. Yun Xi was a stranger to all sorts of people, so she did not care about the opinions of the outside world.
“You unfilial child!” Yun Shan’s emotions suddenly became especially agitated. He did not understand how he had raised such a cold-blooded and heartless daughter.
Yun Shan’s emotions became more and more agitated. Seeing Yun Xi standing there indifferently, he became even angrier.
Yun Shan, whose emotions were surging, immediately gave Yun Xi a slap.
Yun Xi had never thought that Yun Shan would treat her like this. She staggered a few steps back and reached out her hand to cover her slightly stinging cheek. She stared at Yun Shan in disbelief.
Yun Shan was also agitated. He did not notice the slight change in Yun Xi’s expression. Instead, he continued to shout. “Hurry up and go to the court to withdraw the lawsuit. We will slowly deal with your grandmother. She is already so old. How can she go to court or even go to jail?”
Yun Xi’s stubborn temper also rose. She completely disregarded any kinship.
“So what if I sue her today? This autumn harvest money belongs to you and your wife, and it has nothing to do with me. However, my mother supports me. I can withdraw your lawsuit, but I won’t withdraw my mother’s lawsuit no matter what.”
Chen Li also heard the argument outside from inside the house and hurriedly ran out.
“What are you father and daughter arguing about here? Our family should be working together to deal with this!”
Chen Li’s footsteps were a little slow. She did not see Yun Xi’s current state through the thick blanket and thought that the father and daughter were just quarreling.

Chen Li finally came to Yun Xi’s side. When she saw the red fingerprints on Yun Xi’s face that could not be covered by one of her slender hands, she immediately understood what had happened.
“Yun Shan! No matter what happened, how could you hit our daughter? Your mother was in the wrong to begin with. Our daughter was just trying to find a way to resolve this.”
“No matter what, you can’t hit our daughter!” Chen Li’s emotions began to stir. She carefully stretched out her hand, wanting to check on Yun Xi’s injuries.
“I’m fine! It’s just that today’s slap made me understand some things. Mother, you will stand on my side, right? No matter what happens today, I’ll file this lawsuit.”
“Hey, why is this family still fighting amongst themselves? Yun Xi, don’t mind me for saying this, but how can family matters be brought to court? Your actions are unfilial. In the past, you would have been kicked out of the house. Even now, you have to go to the ancestral hall to kneel before your ancestors.” Ma Yan began to add fuel to the fire.
Yun Shan became even more agitated when he heard this.
Just now, Yun Shan had suddenly become agitated, which was why he could not control himself and hit Yun Xi. Now, after Chen Li’s words, he came back to his senses. Just as he was worried about how to apologize to his daughter and resolve this knot in his heart, Ma Yan came to stir up trouble again.
