Seeing Ding Aihua defeated, Tian Lifu said, "Jing girl, I came to see Li Min."
"In what capacity?"
"I..."
"Are you married?"
"Married, married."
"You, a man who took compensation from the Li family and got married, came to see my little sister-in-law? Where is your face? What do you take my little sister-in-law for?"
"I..."
"Don't speak. If you say another word, I'll make you feel the back pain again. This time, I'll make you hurt so much you can't sleep."
Tian Lifu fell silent.
It was Tian Ligui's turn to speak, "Little sister, I, I've come to propose to Miss Li."
"Little sister? Who are you calling little sister? Was the handprint on the deed of renunciation forced upon you by me? Did the person who tipped you off not tell you that my little sister-in-law is already engaged?"
"Engaged, can't she break it off? Didn't she break it off once? I didn't dislike her then."
Tian Ligui's condescending manner made Tian Jing sneer repeatedly.
"Heh, and I should thank you for not disliking her? But we dislike you, we dislike the Tian family."
"We are very satisfied with my little sister-in-law's fiancé. Your Tian family is not qualified to point fingers at the Li family."
"Don't come one by one. You've all come here, thinking that if words don't work, you'll resort to force?"
"Come out, all of you. The yard is big enough. Let's have a match in the yard. To convince you, I promise, I alone will deal with all of you."
Tian Jing scanned the people from the Tian family: Tian Liwen, Tian Liwu, Tian Lifu, Tian Ligui, the four strong young men from the Tian family, Ding Aihua, Chen Yun, Zhang Mei, and the three daughters-in-law of the Tian family.
Tian Jing looked at Tian Lixiang, "Tian Lixiang, why are you here? To fight or to eat?"
"Sister Jing," Tian Lixiang ran out, "I'm here to eat."
"Alright, wait aside. I'll cook after I finish fighting and drive these people away."
"Okay, okay, but how will I go back?"
"Go back for what?" Tian Jing gave him a sideways glance. "The Tian family is a heartless place. Don't go back. Follow me and eat well."
Tian Lixiang looked at his mother's livid face, thought for a moment, and turned his head, "Alright, I'm not going back. I'll go and be filial to my mother when I grow up."
"Good, you still have a conscience." Tian Jing patted his shoulder and pushed him towards Li Zhengguo.
Then, she said to the seven people still in the main hall of the Li family, "Come out, all seven of you. I promise to leave your legs intact so you can walk back to Zhangshan production team by yourselves."
"Jing girl," Ding Aihua stood up, "We didn't come to fight."
"Oh? Are you really here to seek justice, as Zhang Fangcao and Lin Er said? Do you think the method for making kudzu powder and sweet potato noodles belongs to your Tian family? Do you also think the method of growing vegetables in sheds outside belongs to your Tian family?"
"This..."
Ding Aihua's hesitation made Tian Jing laugh.
"Hahaha, you are so ridiculous. Your ignorance is so profound that it leaves me speechless."
"How did Tian Yongren do accounting? Doesn't he know basic common sense? Go back and ask someone educated. In which dynasty did the warm sheds in our country originate? When did modern warm sheds begin in our country?"
"A cultured and knowledgeable person knows the basic principle of warm sheds, and you claim it's from your Tian family. Did your Tian family's ancestors invent it?"
"How will you prove it? Do you want to dig up your Tian family's ancestral graves and have your ancestors come out to speak? Hahaha."
The mockery in Tian Jing's laughter made the Tian family members blush with shame.
The villagers watching from outside the courtyard, though they didn't understand why Tian Jing had such a bitter feud with the Tian family, didn't mind enjoying themselves.
"Tian Jing, don't forget, you are also surnamed Tian."
The laughter from outside the courtyard made Zhang Mei unable to resist retorting, puffing out her neck, "Surnamed Tian? Touch your heart and ask yourself, am I really surnamed Tian? Do you want me to explain to everyone outside why I am surnamed Tian?"
Zhang Mei... Her father-in-law was right, Tian Jing was stubborn and wouldn't yield to any pressure. They had underestimated her.
Seeing that her elder sister-in-law and younger sisters-in-law couldn't do anything about this brat, Chen Yun jumped out, "You say it. We are not afraid of you saying it. You say it."
Chen Yun was full of anger. Because of Jing girl's abnormal behavior, Pingping was drugged and became mute. Not only did she hate her, but she also often went back to her maiden home to show off.
And her maiden family, because of Pingping's elopement, kept trying to get money from her.
Because of Jing girl's abnormal behavior, her in-laws' suppressed resentment was all vented on her.
Because of Jing girl's abnormal behavior, she didn't plan to come today, but she was forced to. Fine, let's have a showdown.
Tian Jing observed the woman she had called mother for eighteen years. She looked haggard, helpless, dead inside, and manic, all present on her. She looked a bit like an ordinary person in the apocalypse, seeing no way out.
She figured that life in the Tian family must have been difficult. Seeing Chen Yun like this, she felt relieved.
"Alright, villagers outside the courtyard, listen up. My maiden name is..."
"Wait, wait, Jing girl, don't talk nonsense. You are surnamed Tian," Ding Aihua quickly interjected to stop her.
"Is that so? What if I changed my surname to Chen?" Tian Jing said sarcastically to Ding Aihua and looked at Chen Yun.
"Chen Yun, for eighteen years, I've called you mother for sixteen years. And yet, you've become a tool for me to take revenge on the Tian family. Eighteen years! Even livestock would develop some feelings by now, wouldn't they? Do you have any feelings?"
"Besides caring about the feelings of those three children, have you ever cared about my feelings? You taught Tian Ping how to get out of housework, you taught Tian Ping how to perform in front of Old Mrs. Tian, and you enslaved me like livestock."
"Now, you want to take revenge for the mistreatment you suffered from the Tian family and are using me. I don't care, but Ding Aihua won't let me speak." Su Dan Novel Network
"If you have the guts, say it out loud right now. Say everything the Tian family has done. Go to the commune now, and I guarantee someone will receive you, someone will vindicate you."
Chen Yun, whose mouth was covered by Zhang Mei, either because she was scared by Tian Jing's words or for some other reason, deflated like a balloon that had lost all its air, from being as full as a pumped-up balloon just moments ago.
Ding Aihua waved at the four strong young men in the hall, "Let's go home."
There were seven or eight of them, but just Tian Jing alone had defeated them all.
Zhang Mei kept her hand over Chen Yun's mouth, not daring to loosen it, but she also had to take her son with her. She could only look at Tian Lifu and Tian Ligui, "Lifu, Ligui, bring Lixiang along."
When Tian Lixiang heard this, he immediately threw off Li Zhengguo's hand and ran to Tian Jing, "Sister Jing, I'm not leaving."
Tian Jing took his hand, "I'll get you something delicious."
"Okay, okay."
"Lixiang," Tian Lifu roared and reached out to pull Tian Lixiang.
Tian Jing blocked him, pushed Tian Lixiang away, and with a pull and a yank, a bend and a throw, Tian Lifu was once again thrown to the ground by her with a shoulder throw.
"Tian Jing." Tian Lifu looked up at the blue sky, embarrassed and annoyed, "Was it wrong for me to take Lixiang away?"
