Mei Zhifeng didn't know if she was frightened by Mei Zhijun's expression just now. Anyway, for a period of time afterwards, apart from her eyes looking around all the time, she didn't do anything else out of the ordinary.

Because there wasn't much stuff, Mei Zhijun and his team finished packing in a short time.

The men carried large and small bags, She Yufen carried her child on her back, the only hundred yuan in the family, and pushed the half-worn bicycle she brought from her mother's home. A group of people left the Mei family's yard in a mighty manner amid Zhao Huiying's curses.

The targets of Zhao Huiying's curses were mainly Mei Jinfeng who dared to decide on the division of the family property, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen who dared to resist her, and those gossipy women who deliberately came to make fun of her family. But while cursing these people, she did not forget to also include the Second Master Mei and the Sixth Master Mei, who in her opinion were just "meddling in other people's business".

Neither the Second Master Mei nor the Sixth Master Mei bothered with her. Amid Mei Zhijun's apology, the two old men left the Mei family's yard with gloomy faces.

When they reached the gate, a group of more than ten people met Li Guowen's eldest son, who had hurried back to Taizi Village with a doctor.

"Why did you come back so late?" Li Guowen asked while motioning his son to help Mei Zhijun get something.

"Doctor Wu went to Heishan Village for a medical consultation. We have been waiting for a long time." Li Guowen's eldest son wiped the sweat from his face.

Although it was the coldest time of the year, he was already sweating all over from the cotton-padded jacket he wore as he climbed up the mountain.

Li Guowen patted his son's arm, then walked towards Doctor Wu, who was a few steps behind him. "Brother Wu, thank you for your hard work in such a cold weather."

Doctor Wu smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, it's what I should do."

Li Guowen smiled and asked Doctor Wu to go back to his home. Doctor Wu was worldly-wise and did not ask what had happened.

The Second Master Mei and the Sixth Master Mei separated from everyone outside the Mei family's gate, then returned to their own homes, leaning on crutches and accompanied by their respective grandsons.

Those idle people who would rather be scolded by Zhao Huiying than not come over to watch the fun left the Mei family before them.

They didn't dare to criticize Zhao Huiying in front of her, so after they left the Mei family's yard together, they all went into the house diagonally opposite the Mei family.

After sitting down in the warm room, the group of women ate melon seeds and talked about the wonderful scenes that had just happened at the Mei family.

"I've never seen a mother like her. Isn't she trying to drive Zhijun and his family of three to death?"

"Who said it wasn't true? This old woman was so cruel to her own son."

"What's the use of having a biological son? She still has two sons. Even if Zhijun dies, her family will not be extinct."

"Oh my, now that you mention it, it reminds me again. What she said was too hurtful to the children. Just because she didn't share the things with Zhijun, she cursed her son to be in the way of bullets and be bombarded. There is no mother in the world who is more cruel than her."

"You can't say that Zhijun and his brother have had a hard life. Look at all the things in their family, the house, the mule, the cart, the tools, everything was brought back by Zhijun. If Zhijun hadn't sent money home during those years when he was in the army, what could their family afford?"
