"Fang Meng, stop!"

Fang Guoqiang roared and rushed forward.

At the same time, Bai Nuo flashed and steadily stopped the solid wood chair that was about to crash down.

If this thing really hits Mu Lian, the Fang family will probably have to hold a feast on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It wasn't that she was afraid to kill Mu Lian, but there was no need to ruin her and Fang Meng's careers for such a disgusting old hag. Besides, when Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang came back, they might not be able to handle such a big change in the family.

It's not that the elderly couple favored this daughter-in-law, but their grandson killed his stepmother. This incident will have a serious impact on the other family no matter what, and it might even implicate Brother Fang's side.

So, no matter how you look at it, it's an unprofitable deal!

What are you doing?

Bai Nuo spoke softly, gently placing her hand on Fang Meng's hand. She didn't use much force, but easily stopped his movements.

"We're here to show our respect to our elders, not to prepare for a feast."

Fang Guoqiang tried to snatch the chair from his son's hands, but no matter how hard he pulled, the chair wouldn't budge.

"Little Meng, be a good boy and give the chair to Daddy!"

Fang Guoqiang suppressed his anger and tried his best to coax his second son patiently.

Ever since the child could walk, he knew that his second son was born rebellious and a tough nut to crack. He knew that you couldn't force him to do anything, or he would show you what real toughness was.

So the only way to deal with this child is to go along with him, otherwise he could blow up the whole family in no time.

Of course, this doesn't include the little girl from the Bai family. She hasn't even learned to walk yet, but she's already learned to cause trouble on her second brother's head.

His second son, who was rebellious by nature, always spoiled and indulged the little girl, never showing any temper in front of her.

"Get out of here!"

Fang Meng pulled the little girl into his arms, pressed his large hand against the back of her head, and turned to glare at Fang Guoqiang with a fierce expression, clearly telling his father: this time, no amount of persuasion will work.

"Fang Guoqiang, let me tell you, either you kick this woman and her little bastard out right now, or we're severing our father-son relationship. When my grandfather comes back, you'll take this old hag and her little bastard and get out of the Fang family genealogy!"

"Why should I? Fang Meng, you little beast, you even dare to control your father, you really are..." Mu Lian's sharp voice rang out.

The young woman, who had just been gently trying to dissuade her boyfriend, suddenly pushed away the man who was holding her when she heard Mu Lian start cursing Fang Meng in a frenzy. She turned around, squatted down, flipped him over, grabbed his hair, and slammed him hard against the ground.

"Bang!"

"Ugh!!!"

"Bai Nuo!"

Fang Guoqiang was shocked and was about to step forward to stop him when his own son kicked him hard in the stomach.

Although Fang Guoqiang was a soldier, he was engaged in ideological and political work. He had been on the battlefield in his early years and had been sitting in an office since he was transferred back to the rear. His combat skills were not high to begin with, and he was no match for his own "filial son's" kick.

He staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground.

"Fang Meng, I'm your father!"

"Nonsense, nobody said I'm your dad!" Fang Meng rolled his eyes, his arrogant and nonchalant attitude almost making his own father vomit blood.

At this moment, Bai Nuo slowly turned her head, her hand still holding the back of Mu Lian's head, and looked at Fang Guoqiang, who was clutching his stomach, with a half-smile. Her voice was low and gloomy: "Uncle Fang, what do you think would happen if my grandmother and Grandma Fang told what Aunt Mu just said to me..."

Fang Guoqiang's face froze instantly!

What will be the result?

If Old Lady Zhu hadn't stormed the Fang family's house with her big knife within five minutes, it would have been a sign of her slow pace.

As for his mother...

His mother could drive back in an excavator and dig up the whole yard, people and everything!

Before retiring, Grandma Fang was a well-known excavator expert at the Beijing No. 1 Machinery Factory. Those huge iron lumps were like toys in her hands, and she drove them more skillfully than most men.

The key point is that his grandmother was a tank driver on the battlefield when she was young. She once drove a tank that she had stolen from the enemy and charged straight into the enemy camp. She was never an ordinary old lady who would easily soften her heart.

Bai Nuo smiled slightly when he saw Fang Guoqiang fall silent instantly.

Undeniably, Uncle Fang used to treat her very well, like his own daughter. But everything changed after the Fang brothers, Fang Meng and Fang Zhou, left the Fang family.

Although she would be the Fang family's daughter-in-law in the future, she had no intention of acting as a peacemaker between her father-in-law and husband, foolishly trying to repair their father-son relationship, only to end up pleasing neither side.

That's something only a virtuous and kind daughter-in-law would do, but she's inherently immoral and lacks manners.

She adheres to only one principle: whoever her lover dislikes, she dislikes too. She always upholds the principle that when husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break even metal.

Fang Guoqiang understood his two children after all. Even though he was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs ached, he still tried to soften his tone and reason with them.

“You two calm down. Mu Lian was wrong, and I will definitely make her apologize properly. You are both soldiers now, and if this gets out, it will greatly affect your future promotions. Even if you don’t think about yourselves, you should think about each other.”

That makes sense. A soldier's character and professional ethics are important factors in promotion evaluation. If word got out that Bai Nuo and Fang Meng beat up their stepmother/future mother-in-law today, the instructor and Old Man Pang would probably be furious.

but……

Bai Nuo chuckled softly, tilted her head, and looked at Fang Guoqiang with a sweet smile. Her tone was gentle and innocent, but... it sounded a little irritating.

"Uncle Fang, what are you saying? Fang Meng and I came here today to see you. After all, it's the New Year. Our eldest brother isn't home, so as his younger siblings, we should come and show our respect to our elders."

After saying that, without paying attention to Fang Guoqiang's expression, she grabbed Mu Lian by the hair and lifted her up, turning her head to ask with a smile, "Don't you think so, Aunt Mu?"

Mu Lian felt dizzy and her face burned with pain. Her mouth tasted blood, and she glared fiercely at Bai Nuo: "You little bitch, I will never..."

"Bang!"

Her delicate, fair hands gripped the back of her head again, slamming it hard against the ground before pulling her up. Mu Lian's once pretty face was now a mess, a bloody stain, blood gushing from her nose and mouth.

"Look at you, Aunt Mu, you're so old, how come you can't speak properly to the younger generation?" Bai Nuo sighed, looking very troubled. "You always have to make me angry. You're putting me in a very difficult position."

Mu Lian was so angry that her eyes turned red and her whole body trembled. Just as she was about to open her mouth to curse, she heard the little girl say something that chilled her to the bone.

"Aunt Mu, I heard that your two precious younger brothers, one works at the county textile factory and the other at the city food factory. These jobs must have been hard-won, right? And your wives seem to be temporary workers. What if something unexpected happens, like... losing an arm or a leg, and your wives suddenly lose their jobs... wouldn't the sky fall down for this whole family?"
