In Liu Qingxi's yard, two women dressed in coarse cloth were seriously rummaging through something, while the already dilapidated fence gate lay abandoned to one side.
In the yard, a pitiful backpack and several gourds were tossed aside.
Liu Qingxi hurried over, looking at the messy yard, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? On what grounds do you touch my things?"
To her surprise, the two women stood up leisurely and replied sarcastically, "On what grounds can't we? I am your Aunt, here to see what's going on. Everything here belongs to me."
The two were none other than Wang and the Jiang Clan.
"Aunt? Hmph! Don't forget that I have severed ties with the Liu Family. I have nothing to do with you, and you have no right to mess with my things here."
Liu Qingxi responded forcefully, having cut ties with the Liu Family; there was no need to endure Wang's bullying any longer.
"What? What can a dead girl like you do? Aren't all these things mine? Get lost!" Wang suddenly pushed Liu Qingxi.
The Jiang Clan member beside her cooperated seamlessly, ignoring Liu Qingxi as they continued to search.
Liu Qingxi straightened up and grabbed Wang's arm, trying to drag her out. "I don't have anything here; you need to leave quickly!" she yelled desperately.
She had never encountered someone as unreasonable as Wang before.
"I'm not leaving; all of this is ours, from the second branch! We’re taking everything!" Even a few old backpacks and gourds were not something Wang was willing to give up.
Liu Qingyan stood protectively over the few belongings they had left, her face filled with determination.
"No way!" Liu Qingxi fought back with all her might; she absolutely could not let Wang succeed.
Such a person, once they have done it once, will do it again, and in the future, it will become uncontrollable.
At that moment, a middle-aged man hurried over: "Wang, what are you doing!"
The angry shout left Wang of the Jiang Clan frozen in place; the newcomer was none other than Zhang Wuliang.
It turned out that when Zhang Dazhu saw that things were not going well, he quickly ran back to get help. With just a few children, they could not handle someone like Wang, who was so unruly.
"Is there no sense of decency left? You don't take my words seriously. What happened back then? Qingxi has already severed ties with you. Why are you still here causing a scene? Hurry up and leave!"
Zhang Wuliang had been the village chief for many years and had never seen such a shameless woman as Wang; she was truly one of a kind.
Wang, filled with anger, threw down the tattered basket she was holding: "If you don't want it, then fine! Who cares? Let's go, from the second family!"
She lifted her head high and strode away, but she gave off an air of forced calmness that felt insincere.
"Hahaha~~~" Laughter erupted around them as Wang and the Jiang Clan left like defeated dogs. Most people looked down on Wang's behavior.
As Wang left in such a straightforward manner, she muttered angrily: "Isn't she just a poor girl? I wouldn't want that piece of junk anyway!"
In fact, after rummaging through things, they found that Liu Qingxi really didn't have anything valuable. When Zhang Wuliang arrived, they simply took the opportunity to leave.
What right did that girl have to live better than her? However, seeing the tattered clothes of the siblings as they left made Wang feel a twisted sense of balance within herself.
"Yun Clan, did you see that? You're dead, and your children won't have it any better. You can't compare to me!" The smile curling at her lips was exceptionally cold under the warm sunlight.
The Jiang Clan nearby had no idea what was going on in Wang's mind or what deep-seated hatred existed between her and Liu Qingxi.
However, the Jiang Clan was known for being greedy and selfish, and bullying Liu Qingxi and her brother gave them an unusual sense of satisfaction.
Liu Qingxi, who remained in place, had no idea that there was this subplot in Wang's mind.
She simply felt that Wang was biased and did not like her and her brother.
However, she did not have time to think about it now and quickly thanked the hurried Zhang Wuliang, "Village Chief, thank you. If you hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have been able to handle them."
"It's nothing, Qingxi. If you have any issues in the future, just come to me. But Wang's behavior is really unacceptable; you need to keep your things hidden from now on!" Zhang Wuliang didn't know how to evaluate such a person.
But since the Liu Family had already taken them in, they couldn't just drive them away. That would be somewhat inhumane, and Wang only dared to bully Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan; she wouldn't dare act recklessly towards the villagers.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Alright, you all get back to work. Let Zhang Dazhu and Hong Ling help out here; I need to go back to my fieldwork." After seeing that there was nothing more to do, Zhang Wuliang decided to leave two kids behind to help.
"By the way, don't just stand around. If Wang comes causing trouble again, Big Kid should keep an eye on things; after all, these two kids have it tough!"
After Zhang Wuliang finished speaking, the villagers nodded in agreement and dispersed.
However, the affairs of the Liu Family became a hot topic of discussion among everyone. With little entertainment in the village, gossip became the most interesting thing for them.
"Qingxi, let's get started. Look at how your roof is like this; we need to fix it quickly. Otherwise, if it rains again, we won't be able to do anything!"
Zhang Dazhu was a simple-minded youth who rolled up his sleeves without any hesitation.
"Thank you, Brother Dazhu!" Liu Qingxi later learned that Zhang Dazhu was a few months older than her in this body, so calling him brother was a form of respect that she found easy to express.
Zhang Dazhu scratched his head and chuckled, "It's nothing, hehe!"
His silly demeanor made a few people laugh.
He didn't linger any longer, blushing as he picked up his tools to head up the mountain. He needed two pieces of wood to repair the roof, and they didn't have to be very thick since the original beams and rafters were still there; only some of the purlins were missing.
Liu Qingxi and Zhang Hongling exchanged glances and resignedly began to tidy up the mess created by Wang.
They secretly felt relieved that Wang hadn't gone inside to take a look; otherwise, they would surely have lost those grains.
It was also Liu Qingxi's lucky day. Wang saw that the inside of the house was muddy and waterlogged, and she never even considered going in, thinking that a dilapidated house like that couldn't possibly have anything good.
So she rummaged through the yard that Jiang Clan had tidied up thoroughly.
"Qingxi, does your Aunt usually treat you all like this?" Zhang Hongling couldn't hold back any longer and finally asked; having such a relative was truly frightening.
"We're used to it!" That one sentence encapsulated all the bitterness and helplessness.
"It'll be better from now on; as long as you’re not part of their family, she won't have any control over you!" Zhang Hongling sighed, feeling fortunate for Liu Qingxi. "By the way, have you sorted out your household registration?"
"What household registration?" Liu Qingxi was suddenly stunned by Zhang Hongling's words!
