Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Our mother-in-lawdoesn’t knowhow to keep her mouth shut, and she’s been tricked into saying all sorts of things all this while.

If this goes on, our mother-in-law will spill all of the Gu family’s secrets!

The sisters-in-law exchanged glances and made a decision in their hearts. They could not let them quarrel anymore, they had to quickly pull their mother-in-law back.

“Mother! Let’s not lower ourselves to her level! Let’s go back first!” Madam Zhou went forward and grabbed Madam Wu’s arm.

Madam Liu also walked over and grabbed Madam Wu’s other arm. “That’s right, Mother. Let’s not argue with this crazy woman!”

If they had said that at the beginning, the villagers might have believed them. However, after their spat, Madam Wu and her two wives had been completely riled up, but the old lady was still calm and composed. If they had to say who was the crazy one, it would be Madam Wu.

The villagers’ delighted expressions infuriated Madam Wu.

Madam Wu rolled up her sleeves and spat, “Old fart! Do you know who I am? I’m the village administrator’s wife!”

“Ha.” The old lady rolled her eyes. “And I’m the emperor’s mother!”

The people around them all burst out laughing.

This old lady was quite the character. She did not hold back at all, and was not afraid that she would be beheaded if word got out.

Madam Wu was an unreasonable person, but she had finally met someone who was more than her match. She could not win with her words, so she planned to attack her directly. “I swear I’ll chase you out of the village today—”

Before she could finish her sentence, the old lady splashed a basin of cold water on Madam Wu, causing her to be petrified on the spot.

Then, ignoring everything else, the old lady turned around and entered the house. She did not want the stool, nor did she care for Gu Xiaoshun. She slammed the door and bolted it shut!

She slipped away real quick!

Everyone’s stomachs hurt from laughing.

Just now, this old lady’s true abilities had been completely unleashed. They had thought that she would fight Madam Wu to the bitter end, but it turned out that she was not blinded by anger at all. Knowing that she could not defeat Madam Wu and the other two, she first insulted Madam Wu, then took the opportunity to lock Madam Wu and her daughters-in-law outside!

When had Madam Wu ever suffered such humiliation? She found a rock on the ground and rushed forward in a rage to smash the door.

However, the rock did not reach the door. Instead, a bright sickle flew over with a whoosh, chopping into the door!

Madam Wu was shocked, and her hand that was holding the rock instantly froze.

If the sickle had been half an inch higher, it would have slashed her hand.

Madam Wu was so shocked that she let go. The rock fell to the ground and smashed her foot.

“Ah—” Madam Wu screamed.

How could a rock for smashing a door be small? Of course she had to specially pick the largest one! Madam Wu was in so much pain that she cried when such a huge rock landed on her foot!

The scythe flying over, and Madam Wu dropping the rock on her own foot—this all happened too quickly, and the commotion was simply too much for everyone to take in.

It had been a long time since such a huge commotion had happened in the village.

Everyone turned around and saw Gu Jiao walking forward calmly.

She carried a small basket on her back. Her thin figure looked harmless, but her cold eyes emitted a murderous aura.

Everyone involuntarily shrunk their necks and automatically made way for her.

Heavens know how she threw that scythe. If it didn’t hit the door, wouldn’t it be sticking out of someone’s head right now?

Thinking of this, everyone could not help but feel a chill run down their spines…

Madam Liu was the first to react and yelled at her, “Miss Jiao, you came back at the right time! Hurry up and get that crazy woman to open the door! Look at how she hit your grandmother with that stone!”
