Caidou unhappily grunted, “I did butter them up. They ignored me, what else can I do? I even told them I have candy for them. Still, they rejected my idea.”

Inside the room, Lady Ruan listened to this and was unspeakably mad, “This is all because of that b!tchy mother of theirs. Their entire family is trash.”

Just then, Lady Ruan’s voice echoed from outside, “Xie Daqiang, what’s up with your child hitting mine?”

Everyone inside the room heard the commotion and all turned to Caidou.

“You hit your cousin?”

Caidou angrily announced, “They declined me while I was being nice. I got angry so I slapped the Second Born. It was his fault for not listening to me. If this was before, would they dare to treat me this way?!”

Inside the room, the adults were half dead from anger. He was sent to make peace with the quadruplets but he ended up hitting someone?

Lady Ruan, however, didn’t think this was a big deal, “Whatever. He deserved it.”

Just then, the Xie family’s front door was kicked open.

The door was unlocked and not fully closed so it was easy to kick it open.

Lu Jiao walked in with the Second Born. Behind her was a group of villagers.

Lu Jiao went to Xie Daqiang and Chen Liu right away, “Brother, sister, what’s the meaning of this? You send Caidou to tell my children to defy their father. When my children declined, your child slapped my Second Born in the face.”

Just then, the First Born glanced at the Second Born, who immediately stretched out his lips and cried out, “My face hurts. It hurts! Mommy, I’m in so much pain!”

The villagers all stared. He hadn’t been crying at all while they walked. Why was he suddenly crying now?

His pitiful and teary face, however, garnered much sympathy from the villagers.

Xie Daqiang and Chen Liu looked at Lu Jiao in fury. Xie Daqiang in particular had the urge to beat up this woman.

With a huge frown, he said thickly, “The children get into a fight while playing, what can the adults do?”

Lu Jiao coldly snorted, “Your Caidou is an eight-year-old boy who came here to hit my four-year-olds. The audacity for you to speak to me like this.”

Before Xie Daqiang could answer, Lu Jiao turned to Caidou and said in a low voice, “Since you do not know how to educate your child, then I will do it for you. Young kids don’t know better. They’ll learn after they take a beating.”

Caidou was scared off by Lu Jiao’s serious expression and retreated.

Xie Daqiang gawked at Lu Jiao with fury, “You want to hit my Caidou?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “No, I want you to educate your child.”

Xie Daqiang honestly beat his son pretty frequently. However, Lu Jiao was obviously threatening him so there was no way he was going to agree. His expression was heavy.

“I know how to educate my children. You better hurry up and get the hell out of here.”

“Your child hit mine. I’m not going to let it go like that,” Lu Jiao responded sharply.

Xie Laogen stood up and sighed at Lu Jiao.

“Third daughter-in-law, don’t be angry. It’s normal for children to fight; children often fight in the village. This isn’t a big deal.”

“If it’s as simple as children fighting, then it’s no big deal. But Caidou came to my house asking my children to defy their father. This obviously means someone’s asked him to do that. So, I am not going to let this go.”

Xie Laogen’s eyes went dark as he too grew angry at Lu Jiao’s words.

This daughter-in-law of his was out of line. His third son should leave her. She was unreasonable.

As Xie Laogen thought about it, he said in an angry tone, “You are making a joke out of my family by making a scene right now. Enough. We will educate Caidou later.”

Xie Laogen yelled at Caidou, “Don’t hit your younger cousins in the future.”

The Second Born started to cry, “I don’t have such a cousin. He’s not my cousin!”

Xiao Laogen now felt like he’s been slapped in the face by both his daughter-in-law and his grandson, his expression grew extremely ugly.

Beside him, Lady Ruan jumped up, “You bastard! Even your father doesn’t dare to speak like this. You sure grew gutsy. You deserve to be hit! Or else you don’t even know to respect your elders!”

Lady Ruan then tried to hit the Second Born. Lady Tian hopped out and pointed at Lady Ruan, “Watch me kill you, you witch!”

Lady Ruan instantly remembered how Lady Tian dragged her across the yard and stopped. She knew she couldn’t win in a fight against Lady Tian.

Xie Daqiang heard Lady Tian and angrily screamed, “This is the Xie family, not yours! You dare to come on my turf to fight? You deserve a beating!”

Lu Jiao sarcastically laughed, “Look at how capable you make yourself sound. Come at me, test me and see if I am scared of you. You think I am afraid of you because you’re a man?”

Xie Daqiang’s eyes widened and he walked over to hit Lu Jiao. Beside him, Chen Liu stopped him.

Chen Liu then grabbed her younger son by the ear and started to hit his butt. As she hit him, she furiously yelled, “You should never hit your cousins! Your cousins are family! In the future, you and your cousins will need to help each other out!”

Chen Liu hit him rather hard and Caidou started to cry instantly. As he cried, he screeched towards Xie Laogen, “Grandma, save me.”

This time, Xie Laogen didn’t chime in. He knew that his third daughter-in-law wasn’t going to go away until her demand was answered.

This woman was still married to his son. If they fight, the villagers would see them as a joke. Though Xie Laogen’s heart ached for his grandson, he endured.

As for Chen Liu, she only hit her son for Lu Jiao to see.

She was different from Xie Daqiang. Xie Daqiang thought that Xie Yunjin was his brother and that no matter what happened, they would remain brothers.

Chen Liu, however, knew that their brothership was conditional. If Xie Daqiang continued to treat Xie Yunjin poorly, Xie Yunjin wouldn’t help them out once he was successful. This was why she was now hitting her son.

Lu Jiao watched as Chen Liu beat her own son and said coldly, “This is the first time and the last time this shall happen. If this happens again, I will teach your children a lesson on your behalf.”

She then walked away while holding onto the Second Born. Behind her, Lady Tian walked away with the other three children.

Inside the Xie family yard, Xie Laogen watched Lu Jiao leave then glared at Chen Liu, “Enough, enough, the child doesn’t know better.”

Lady Ruan cursed out Lu Jiao inside the yard. Her words were ugly enough that Xie Erzhu and his wife couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

“Mom, you need to improve your relationship with my third brother. You can’t do this.”

Lady Ruan stomped her feet, “If you are so capable, you go talk to your brother and have him move home. I’ll only admit you as capable then.”

Xie Erzhu’s face was sour, “I have no audacity to do that. You were the ones who forced him to move out before and now you want him back.”

“Your family is banned from eating tonight!”

Lady Ruan roared.
