Kill This Family

The second daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Zhao Bing, gloated as she handed over a wooden stick. Chen Qiulian received it in satisfaction and started to hit Qu Feng.

At this moment, many people came to watch the commotion outside the Xu family's courtyard.

"Yo, that old witch Chen Qiulian is here to hit her third daughter-in-law again." Someone in the crowd watched with amusement. They were used to the drama that the Xu family played out from time to time.

"This third wife is really pitiful. She has endless work all year round, and now, she's going to be beaten up by this evil woman…" A middle-aged woman had a look of pity.

"What are you all looking at? I'm lecturing my daughter-in-law. What has it got to do with you?" Chen Qiulian placed her hands on her hips and glared at the people outside with a fierce expression.

The crowd replied with disdain, but no one left. No one pitied her anymore and they continued to watch the commotion.

Xu Jiangxi returned from work and heard the cries in the yard. His tall body hurriedly rushed to Chen Qiulian's side. He hugged her and knelt down. "Mother, stop hitting her. What did she do wrong? You're hitting her again…"

"Let go of me, you unfilial son. How dare you stop your mother? How did I give birth to a piece of trash like you? I should have strangled you to death back then! Unfilial son!" Chen Qiulian was pulled back and could not hit Qu Feng anymore. She was even angrier.

"Mother…" Xu Jiangxi was most afraid of someone saying that he was unfilial. As a son, how could he not be filial to his parents? Now that he saw his wife being beaten up and he stopped her, he was scolded for being unfilial. Xu Jiangxi had no choice but to let go and kneel on the ground with a pained expression.

"I'll kill you, you unfilial son. How dare you stop me!" Chen Qiulian, who was no longer restrained, started to hit her son with a stick.

Xu Jiangxi didn't say a word, and his eyes were filled with pain. He really didn't understand why he had contributed more than the other five siblings but was still least liked by his parents. However, he thought about how as long as his family was fine, it didn't matter what happened to him.

"Chen Qiulian is really ruthless. She wants to kill her son and daughter-in-law. Xu Jiangxi is famous for being filial…"

"That's right. Perhaps Xu Jiangxi isn't her biological son? Otherwise, how could there be such a heartless mother?"

"Who knows…"

The people outside the yard whispered. But even so, no one went forward to stop her. Everyone knew that Chen Qiulian was the most unruly, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

The ten-year-old Xu Huai was young and had small steps. He returned from farming with his father, Xu Jiangxi. He was only a few steps behind when he saw his parents being beaten. He knelt in front of Chen Qiulian and cried, "Grandma, stop hitting them. If you want to hit someone, hit me…"

The five-year-old Xu Xiang also ran over. Because of her congenital deficiency, she had been weak since she was young. When she cried, she seemed like she would faint at any time, but she still cried and begged for mercy. "Grandma, stop hitting them. If you want to hit someone, hit me. Don't hit Daddy, Mommy, and Brother…"

The eight-year-old Xu Zhi was still in the straw hut at the foot of the mountain, accompanying Xu Qing to take care of the crying baby. Otherwise, he would also kneel and beg like this. This was because every time, only when their family begged miserably would Chen Qiulian stop.

"Wuwuwu…" The entire yard was filled with noisy cries. No matter how much the surrounding people's hearts ached, they could only sigh.

The other Xu family members watched this scene coldly. The Xu family's eldest son's wife, Mo Qiu, had a smug look on her face as she watched with the Xu family's second son's wife, Zhao Bing.

"You still dare to cry? Mother, you have to kill this family of ingrates. How dare you use my money to compensate that little slut Xu Qing!" The person who said this was Chen Qiulian's youngest daughter, Xu Yunqiao. Because she was the daughter Chen Qiulian finally had in old age, she was not much older than Xu Qing and was very pampered. She had always treated Chen Qiulian's money as her dowry in the future, so she naturally did not let anyone touch it.

Mo Qiu, who was at the side, looked at Xu Yunqiao with jealousy. This little sister of her husband's was not raised like a person in the village at all. She was like a young mistress of a wealthy family. She ate well, dressed well, and had a fair and youthful face. She had heard that Chen Qiulian wanted to marry her to a young master of a wealthy family. However, no matter how well she was raised, it could not change the fact that she was a village girl. Which wealthy family's young master would marry an unruly shrew who knew nothing?

At this moment, Chen Qiulian was still beating people up. This time, when she saw more people, she became even more excited and didn't realize that she was being ruthless.

"Stop!" A sudden angry shout frightened Chen Qiulian so much that her hand trembled…
