When Zhang Chuncao saw Mrs. Lee's gaze scraping towards her like a knife, a cold shiver went down her spine. She quickly jumped out and hastily tried to defend herself:

"Mother, I didn't do anything. I really didn't do anything …"

Everyone looked at Zhang Chuncao, sizing her up. Even before Mrs. Lee said who she was, Zhang Chuncao had already jumped out. What was she doing … Everyone thought for a bit before falling into deep thought. When Zhang Chuncao was still in the field, she had often caused trouble for Yang Lili. Normally, she would be extremely harsh to the ears …

Mrs. Lee harrumphed coldly and ignored her. If Zhang Chuncao didn't take the blame, who else would? Furthermore, she had never hit Qimu, this grandson's daughter. At most, she would say something cold, and those injuries had nothing to do with her. It was most likely her eldest wife who did it … It wasn't that he wronged her.

Seeing Mrs. Lee ignore her, the surrounding villagers looked at her with unfriendly gazes. In a daze, she seemed to see Qimu smile at her with a gentle and weak expression. However, it made Zhang Chuncao's heart anxious and frightened.

"Mother, I did what you instructed me to do. Third Sister-in-Law, don't just stand there. You also have a share in this matter!" All of you speak … "

These words were like a clap of thunder that exploded within the group of people as they conversed and discussed endlessly.

"There must be a lot of dirty things behind Ye Family …"

"Auntie Li usually treats people the best. That third wife seems to be pretty good too. I've never heard of anything, so it shouldn't be …"

"This second house in Ye Family sure is suffering …"

"That kid Mu, she suffered this since she was young …"

Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Mrs. Lee was furious. She glared at Zhang Chuncao but was still unable to say a word. Her eyes started to blur as her body swayed. Seeing this, Lee Zhiqing hurriedly hugged Mrs. Lee and shouted at Zhang Chuncao.

"Sister-in-law, you have to behave yourself. Mother and I have never done anything shameful. Look at you, being unfilial is a great sin, even Bodhisattva will not forgive you!"

Once Lee Zhiqing opened her mouth, her responsibility was clear. She hinted at threatening Zhang Chuncao, implicating her and Mrs. Lee in the process.

Zhang Chuncao also knew that she had said the wrong thing. When she was working in the main house, she had secretly scolded Qimu. However, recently, she hadn't even touched that girl's finger. She couldn't bear it any longer.

Zhang Chuncao's face contorted in anger, becoming uglier and uglier. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she couldn't drag Mrs. Lee into this. Thus, she turned her spearhead to Qimu and said viciously like a shrew:

"Mu, do you think I have beaten you? Did I?! What do you think?! "

As she spoke, she got closer to Qimu, who followed her footsteps and retreated step by step with trembling steps. Shocked, she tried to hold back her tears as she sighed in her heart, 'This rotten wood, she hasn't even said it was her! If she jumped out on her own so quickly, it would just be Lee Zhiqing who is pulling her down! Mrs. Lee can't even protect herself, so she definitely can't care less about her!

"Aunt Zhang, you don't have to worry about what you did in private. Look at Mu."

Aunt Wang quickly stood in front of Zhang Chuncao. She pushed with her hand and pushed Zhang Chuncao to the ground. She looked down on her with disdain and mockery.

He dared to act like this in front of so many people, but the girl in front of him didn't even know what she was going to suffer for.

"Alright, stop messing around!"

Niu Chuxi's face was ashen as he spoke. He had been the village chief for so many years, but no one had ever dared to do anything to him. This Zhang Chuncao had set a precedent for him!

Zhang Chuncao sat on the ground in despair, looking around her, only to find that no one was there to help her. Her husband was not around, and her sister Qiao was standing next to Lee Zhiqing, looking at her with teary eyes and shivering body.

Suddenly, a wave of grief swept over her. It was as if she had returned to before her marriage, beaten and cursed by her parents and enslaved by her younger brother in those dark days … As the darkness enveloped her, she felt suffocated. Zhang Chuncao could not get up from the ground.

On the other hand, Qimu had gone over to help Zhang Chuncao up, smiling cautiously.

Everyone was dumbstruck. The Wang Family's Aunt was looking at Qimu as if she had thought of something. A look of gratification flashed across Niu Chuxi's eyes. Aunt Lin held Yangyang in her arms, tears streaming down her face. She thought to herself, Lili's life is so bitter …

Ye Dazhuang held Yang Lili who was still unconscious and remained silent.

Everyone was shocked by Qimu's action, but no one noticed Zhang Chuncao's expression changing again, her sleeves trembling slightly.

When Qimu helped her up, she forcefully stuffed the wooden hairpin that was stained with blood into Zhang Chuncao's sleeve. She felt it, she didn't want to take it, but she didn't have the strength to push it back. Under everyone's gazes, she didn't dare to desperately push Qimu away.

Qimu smiled innocently and said:

"Eldest Aunt, please do me a favor. For matters of the branch family, just say that if the second branch doesn't split up, then the main branch will be split up. If it's a success, then mother's injuries, I'll say it was Third Aunt who did it. If it's not …"

If that didn't happen, Mu would definitely tell everyone about it. If the Village Head knew that she treated her sister-in-law's family like this, she would definitely be divorced and thrown out. What would her two children do? What would her two younger sisters do?

She could not let anyone know. Zhang Chuncao's gaze gradually became resolute. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lee Zhiqing. Why was she the only one who was fine? She had done quite a lot of things to Second House in private!

"Dad, it doesn't matter if I get hurt, so don't blame me … Father, let's split up the family, a branch family is not an unpardonable crime, the government does not care about this, a branch family, we still have to treat grandpa and mother well, just that on the surface they are not in the same place, each family will go find their own way out.

Qimu then said bitterly to Ye Dazhuang. If this man firmly disagrees, then Yang Lili, who had a husband as her husband, would definitely not agree as well. Then her plans would be in vain.

As long as this man still had a little bit of conscience and knew how to care for his wife and children, she would have a certain amount of confidence to let this family go.

"Our family has been through so much, why should we drag on for so long? "If I were to leave home and live a good life, I would definitely be happy and I would be able to properly respect you."

Ye Dazhuang had a bitter taste in his mouth as he said with difficulty:

"Where are the parents in the village? Then our son will be separated from the family?!"

Qimu let out a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard what he said. As long as her father, Qimu, wasn't ungrateful, she turned to look at Aunt Wang with pleading eyes and said:

"Aunt Wang, say something fair?"

Aunt Wang stared blankly for a moment before sneering with her eyes as she leisurely said:

"So that's how it is."

This girl wanted to use her family as an example. Even though her family wasn't part of the branch family, their situation wasn't too bad either.

She originally had a parents-in-law and a sister-in-law. When the family made a fortune and went to town, the parents-in-law also went with them. The sister-in-law's entire family was petty, afraid that they would go for the autumn wind, so they forced the parents-in-law to divide the family.

Of course, when the family was divided, the parents-in-law was very biased and wanted to follow the eldest son to the town to enjoy her fortune. She gave all the valuable possessions to the family of her sister-in-law, leaving them only with one broken house to take with them. The rest of the family members in the village sympathized with her, so even if the family was divided, they never said anything unpleasant about it.

However, since the separation, her family life had become much more peaceful and amiable than before. Without her parents-in-law's toil and her sister-in-law's twaddle, she seemed much more energetic.

Wasn't Mu asking her to talk to her father to persuade him?

"Dazhuang, what your family's Mu said is reasonable. Look at my house, isn't it like this? "If you don't have the ability, then even if you don't want to split the family, you still want to implicate the old man. If you have the ability and the filial piety, why would the old man be afraid of losing the family?"

When the villagers heard these words, no one objected. Everyone knew a bit about the Wang Family's matters, and there was some truth in those words. Moreover, the women and children of Ye Family were going to be grinded to death.

"Divide!" If Mu really wants to split up the family, then we'll split up. If the second branch doesn't want to split up, then we'll split up the main branch! In any case, since I'm staying in the Ye Family, there won't be a single person that will fall either! "

Before Ye Dazhuang could say anything, Zhang Chuncao shouted crazily. She thought that since they were going to make a ruckus, they might as well start it. Nobody could be a good person.

Hearing that, Mrs. Lee pointed at Zhang Chuncao and roared:

"You! Are you trying to anger me to death?! "

Her favorite wife was usually her third wife, but what she valued the most was Ye Family's long room. Not to mention the long room and her little grandson who was supporting her in her studies in the town!

The long room couldn't be separated!

At this moment, Qimu also wiped her tears away and shouted angrily at Ye Dazhuang:

"Father, others can't tolerate us anymore, and you still want me to press my face against yours. If Father doesn't want to divide, then Mother and I will leave together, so that we don't need to use Ye Family to prepare a grass coffin for our mother and me."

As she spoke, she went to snatch Yang Lili's body. Of course, Qimu didn't insist on snatching her body away. She only used the time when the two of them were squeezing each other to show the wounds on Yang Lili's body to the villagers.

He had also made his cheap father make up his mind.

"..."

"Mu, stop, your mother is bleeding. Why are there so many wounds?!"

Aunt Wang was the closest and sharp-eyed, so she was the first to notice.

"I didn't do it. Third Sister-in-Law did it."

Zhang Chuncao didn't argue that Mrs. Lee was going to split up, but she was in a hurry to shirk her responsibilities.

Ye Dazhuang stared at the deep shallow and criss-crossing wounds on Yang Lili's arm without saying a word. He sat on the ground with Yang Lili in his arms. His body was trembling violently and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Father …"

Qimu suddenly knelt on the ground and wailed sorrowfully at Ye Dazhuang.

"It's not only on her arm, but on her mother's body as well …"

"Mother, living so arduously …"

"I'm scared, I'm scared. One day, my mother was toasted to death …"

"Father …"

Qimu cried for a while, while Yangyang, who was struggling in Aunt Lin's arms, also held Qimu. Qimu cried for a while, while Yangyang, who was struggling in Aunt Lin's arms, also hugged Qimu.

Ye Dazhuang remained silent for a while.

In the end, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Let's split up."
