Their mother-in-law was not someone to guard her tongue. It hadn’t been long since they started to quarrel, but the other party had already wormed some facts out of her. Both things that should be said and shouldn't be said had been blurted out.

If this went on, all the little secrets of their Gu Family would be exposed by their mother-in-law.

The two sisters-in-law exchanged glances, and both of them made a decision in their hearts. They couldn't quarrel any more. They had to pull their mother-in-law back quickly.

"Mother! Let’s not lower ourselves to her level! Let’s go back first!" Zhou shi stepped forward, took Wu shi's arm and said.

Liu shi also came over and grabbed Wu shi's other arm, saying, "That’s right, mother. Let's not argue with this crazy old woman!!"

If they had said that at first, the villagers might still have believed them, but it was clear that Wu shi and her two daughters-in-law were angered after a round of argument. On the other hand, the elderly woman was calm and composed, without the slightest sign of fluster. If there was really a crazy woman here, it had to be Wu shi.

The expression of schadenfreude in the villagers’ faces completely enraged Wu shi.

Wu shi smoothed out her sleeves and said with her saliva splattering everywhere, "You're simply not afraid of death, are you?! Do you know who I am? I am the Village Chief’s wife!"

"Oh." The elderly woman rolled her eyes at her, "Then I'm the Emperor’s mother!"

All the people around them roared with laughter.

This elderly woman was a bit interesting. She simply didn’t care about who she angered to death, nor was she afraid that her words would get out and she’d be beheaded.

Wu shi herself was an annoying and unreasonable troublemaker. Unfortunately, she met someone with deeper skills than her. Knowing she couldn’t win, she planned to get physical directly, "I will kick you out of the village today——"

Before she could finish speaking, however, the elderly woman splashed a basin of cold water onto her, which made Wu shi petrified on the spot.

Soon after, without caring about the consequences, the elderly woman turned around and went into the house. She didn't want the stool, and didn't want Gu Xiaoshun. She slammed the door and bolted it!

She slipped away pretty fast!

Everyone laughed till their belly ached.

Just now, this elderly woman still had an overwhelming aura around her. They thought that she would strongly confront Wu shi to the end, but she unexpectedly wasn’t carried away by anger. She knew that she couldn’t beat the three-man team of Wu shi, so she first threw Wu shi into a daze, and then took the opportunity to lock Wu shi and her daughters-in-law outside!

When did Wu shi ever suffer such frustration? She found a stone from the ground and rushed to smash the door.

But the stone had yet to touch the door when a bright sickle flew with a whoosh and stabbed the door panel!

Wu shi was given a fright. Her hand holding the stone instantly froze.

If the sickle had been half an inch higher, her hand would have been chopped off instead.

Wu shi was so scared that her hand lost its grip and the stone fell to the ground, smashing her own foot.

"Aiyo——" Wu Shi shrieked miserably.

Would the stone she found to smash the door be small? In fact, she even picked out the biggest one! Such a big stone fell on her foot that Wu shi could only burst into tears in pain!

That sickle suddenly flying over and Wu shi smashing her own foot all happened so fast. The scene was simply too much for people’s eyes to take in at once.

One must know that it had been a long time since there was such a big commotion in the village.

When they looked back, they saw Gu Jiao coming forward calmly and unperturbed.

She was carrying a back basket, and her thin figure looked harmless. However, her cold eyes were showing a murderous look for some reason.

The crowd could not help but shrink their necks and automatically make way for her.

God knew how she threw that sickle. Had she failed to throw it on the door, would it not have landed on the back of someone’s head instead?

At the thought of this, everyone felt a bout of chills on the back of their heads...

Liu shi was the first to react. She yelled, "Jiao girl, you came back just in time! Get that crazy old woman to open the door quickly! Look, she smashed your grandmother’s foot!"

Scoff. Gu Jiao smiled coldly and said, "It’s normal for the old woman to have bad vision, but how could Second Aunt have vision problems at her age? Who picked up this stone, and who smashed it on her foot, didn't you know very well in your heart?"

As soon as her words dropped, Liu shi was dumbfounded.

This, this, this... How could this girl attack people verbally like this?!

They could still take her actions of dragging Gu Dashun and kicking Gu Ershun before as her being a fool, but publicly criticizing her and Wu shi for having bad vision was simply shedding all pretense of cordiality with the Gu Family.

"You stinky girl! You dare to speak ill of your grandmother?!" Wu shi rolled up her sleeves and was about to move forward, but she nearly fell to the ground in pain after one step.

Zhou shi hurriedly supported her mother-in-law, "Mother, be careful!"

Wu shi was in pain and full of anger. She pointed to Gu Jiao's nose and cursed, "Little beast! Why didn't you just drown at that time?!"

At this moment, Xiao Liulang came over.

Recently, Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao had been seen going out together often. It had long been rumored in the village that they had finally gotten together, but Xiao Liulang had never responded positively, so many people guessed that everything was just Gu Jiao’s wishful thinking.

"Liulang, ah! Look at what your Grandaunt and Jiao girl have done! Your grandmother-in-law is already old..." Zhou shi turned to reproach Xiao Liulang.

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Xiao Liulang said, "Since she’s already old, don't let her come out to blindly wander around."

Zhou shi doubted if she heard him right!

"Are you all right?" Xiao Liulang walked up to Gu Jiao and asked.

"It’s nothing." Gu Jiao shook her head and took the sickle off the door.

Xiao Liulang turned to the door and said, "Grandaunt, we’re back."

The door creaked open.

Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao went in.

The crowd exchanged glances with one another. They weren’t dazzled just now, were they? Did Xiao Liulang really talk to Fool Gu? And even asked her if she was all right? Those two were really on intimate terms now?!

Xiao Liulang closed the door after entering the house. However, the door wasn’t tightly closed and people could still hear his unhurried voice saying, "If you encounter such a thing in the future, I will report it to the officials. I will personally go to the yamen to hand in the written complaint."

As soon as these words came out, Wu shi’s three-man group who intended to rush in were directly nailed on their spots.

You could actually report this kind of thing to the officials? But Xiao Liulang spoke so confidently... Then, it should be the truth?

This lame person was actually a black-hearted man!

"Mother, the things of the third branch..." Zhou shi reminded in a low voice.

It was true that there were some shenanigans behind the family division at that time. The farmland under the third branch’s name, as well as the dowry of the third wife were being withheld by them. If they really went to the yamen to report, they feared this secret would be uncovered.

Wu shi gritted her teeth and walked away with her two daughters-in-law.

All the people involved had left, of course people watching the show had also gone home.

Gu Ershun had also returned home. Only Gu Xiaoshun wandered around the village and then broke into his sister and brother-in-law's house.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang were sitting on the chairs in the main room, while the elderly woman was sitting on the wooden bench opposite them, still eating melon seeds with her legs crossed, without the slightest intention of explaining the commotion she stirred up.

In fact, it wasn’t just the villagers who had their eyes opened after seeing that Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang seemed different from what they imagined. Even Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang both think they were wrong about this elderly woman, okay?

Previously, she could do nothing and could answer nothing. Her reaction was dull. Gu Jiao really thought she had Alzheimer’s disease, but when she was arguing with Wu shi just now, she was basically a max-level pro player landing on a novice village, alright?

"Have you just been pretending these days?" Gu Jiao asked.

The elderly woman said angrily, "Is that how you talk to your grandaunt?"

So you’ve become addicted to acting now?

No. It didn't look like an act.

Gu Jiao said solemnly to Gu Xiaoshun, "Come with me."

Everyone But Me Is Reborn

Her father is a coward and senselessly filial. Her mother is weak and gullible. Her elder brother is a wastrel.

When she married into the Wangfu, she suffered and was coldly treated. And by the time she was in labour, she was fated to die with the unborn child in her belly.

This was supposed to be Ning Nuan's life.

However this time, everyone but her is reborn.

Ning Nuan is at a loss. She felt that her dad has suddenly become the pillar of the family, her mother’s temper became fierce, and even her elder brother, who would only walk the dogs and play with birds all day, has begun picking up books and reading them carefully.

There is also that juvenile that shows up at the wall of her courtyard everyday, calling her “Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan” with an honest face.
