Eldest Chai was easy to bully, but Longyue was not easy to deal with.
“It has only been four hours, but she has already forgotten that she has just been threatened by me. Does she think that she now has people beside her, so she can behave atrociously?” Longyue thought.
“Ha, she needs a beating indeed!”
A vicious smile appeared on Longyue’s face as she rushed forward. Before Auntie Liu could react, she slapped her hard, causing half of her face to swell.
“Ah, little bitch, you hit me?”
Auntie Liu covered half of her face and said in a sharp voice. One of the women beside her frowned and said, “Longyue of the Li family, you’ve gone too far! Sister Liu merely spoke the truth. Why did you hit her?”
“The truth?”
Longyue looked over at the woman coldly. A chill ran down her spine when she saw Longyue’s gaze and she forgot what she wanted to say.
Seeing her falter, Longyue smiled.
This person was the second daughter-in-law of the Qian family. She was known to be a good person in the village. Her son attended the school in town and later became an official. As a result, she became arrogant, despotic, proud, and conceited, and even secretly helped her son to trip up her own husband.
Hence, Longyue did not think well of her.
“That’s right. Everyone knows that you had an affair with someone before you were chased out of your house. You’re shameless… Pa!”
Auntie Liu, who did not realize how precarious her situation was, had covered half of her face and continued to curse. In the end, she received another slap from Longyue.
“Ah, you hit me again! I’ll fight you to the death!”
After two slaps, even a pig would get angry. Auntie Liu couldn’t care less. She rushed forward to grab Longyue’s hair.
But how could she? With her lithe figure, Longyue slipped away like a fish. She grabbed Auntie Liu’s hair and raised her arm, slapping her several times.
After a while, Auntie Liu’s face swelled up like a pig.
“Li family, let go of Sister Liu immediately. If you continue to beat her up, she is going to die. Believe it or not, we will bring the matter to the attention of the authorities.”
Another woman spoke up, but she looked at Longyue a little evasively. Her tone was not as firm as Second Madam Qian’s, and she was not scolding like Auntie Liu.
This person was the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. A while ago, she had gossiped about Longyue with someone under a tree. Longyue happened to pass by and heard it, so she was beaten up. Even now, her arms and back hurt, causing her to be afraid of Longyue.
Longyue glanced at them disdainfully, then lowered her head to look at Auntie Liu, who looked like a pig. Without saying anything, she kicked her butt.
“Get lost!”
She shouted coldly. Second Madam Qian wanted to say something else, but she was afraid of her. Together with the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, they helped Auntie Liu down the mountain.
“Longyue is so amazing. The bad guys have all been chased away!”
Li Qingqiu watched as the bad guys were chased away and danced with joy.
Longyue only replied nonchalantly. They were just a few clowns, and she did not take them seriously.
Chai Tieniu did not know what to say. The rumors had it that the Li family’s Third Madam was shrewd and fierce. He had finally witnessed it today. He thought of the sickle that she had put away earlier. Chai Tieniu felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that the python was her intended prey?
“I… I snatched her prey?” he wondered.
The group of them went down the mountain. Longyue and Li Qingqiu brought the big yellow chicken and basket of harvests home. At the door, Madam Zhang was drying clothes. Her sharp eyes saw the big yellow chicken in Li Qingqiu’s hand and she came over happily.

“Yo, Ah Qiu, you’re amazing. You actually got a fat chicken. Cook it quickly so that I can give some to my elder sister to nourish her body.”
As she spoke, her hands reached out for the chicken. Longyue was quick to react and slapped her hands away. She said coldly, “If you want to eat chicken, go look for one in the bush. This is for my husband and parents to nourish their bodies. Your big sister has nothing to do with our family. Qingqiu, bring the chicken in!”
“Ah, alright!”
Ah Qiu looked at Madam Zhang timidly and went in with the chicken. However, Madam Zhang threw a tantrum and shouted, “Pfft, what are you talking about? She’s my elder sister, I’m the daughter-in-law of the Li family. My elder sister’s body is weak, so she needs to nourish herself more. Why can’t she eat? Ah Qiu, come over and give me the chicken!”
Ah Qiu instinctively fled to Longyue’s side. She sneered at Madam Zhang, “You already say that you’re the Li family’s wife. A married daughter is like spilled water. I’ve never seen a wife like you. Meihua, if you really care about your family, you can get out of the Li family! You haven’t laid an egg after marrying into the Li family for three years. If I were mom, I wouldn’t have allowed you to behave atrociously in the Li family.”
“Cough!”
Madam Li Zhou happened to hear the commotion and came out. When she heard Longyue, she coughed awkwardly.
Madam Zhang disliked Longyue to begin with. When she thought about how Longyue had already married into the family for a month but had yet to do any chores, she felt even more jealous.
Now that she had been exposed by Longyue, she became violent. She grabbed a bamboo pole beside her and tried to stab Longyue.
“You bitch! I’ll tear your mouth apart today!”
Longyue was expressionless as she restrained the bamboo pole easily with one hand. Madam Zhang tried her best to push the bamboo pole into her body. Just as she was exerting all her strength, Longyue suddenly let go.
“Bang!”
“Ah—”
Madam Zhang crashed into the stone wall opposite her. A big bump appeared on her forehead, and she grimaced in pain.
Fortunately, the bamboo pole helped her to deflect the force. Otherwise, this head would have been broken.
When the Li family saw this, they were all speechless. All of them looked at Longyue in fear. There was also the dumbfounded Chai Tieniu standing outside the door.
“Third Madam Li is really skilled. I must have snatched her prey earlier!” he thought.
But since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and enter.
“Is it… the Li family? Well… Third Madam, this is snake meat. Thank you for your help earlier…”
Longyue was worried that he would mention the lingzhi, so she quickly interrupted him with a chuckle. “Brother Chai, thank you for the snake meat! Ah, we have a small matter at home, so we won’t be entertaining you!”
She politely sent Chai Tieniu out the door. When she returned, she saw Li Zhou and Madam Zhang’s eyes light up as they stared at the snake meat.
Longyue was just about to say that no one should covet this snake meat when Li Qingmu, who had not appeared until now, suddenly said gently, “Wife, you must be tired from working so hard today. Go back to the room with your husband.”
“Hello…”
Before Longyue could react, she was pulled into the room by Li Qingmu.

She looked dumbfounded as she watched herself get pinned against the wall by this man. She was confused. “What are you doing… Uu…”
Before Longyue could say anything, Li Qingmu suddenly bent down and kissed her aggressively. He began to bite her.
“Li Qingmu, uh, you…”
She felt almost smothered. It was only for a short moment, but Longyue felt as if spring and autumn had passed. When she had the chance to breathe, she pushed him away and said irritably, “What are you doing?”
Li Qingmu lowered his eyes. There was a hint of panic in them after letting go, but it was immediately replaced by determination. His tone was still gentle. “You are mine. No one can share you with me. If I run into that Eldest Chai again, I will not be civil.”
