Second Update
Lady Wang whispered the gist of the matter to Old woman Qian, and the old lady was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Seizing a feather duster, she began to beat Lady Tang about the head and face, scolding as she went, “I’ll beat you to death, you greedy wretch blinded by crap, fancying Yixiu for your grandson just because she’s smart. Don’t even bother to look at what kind of household your son-in-law comes from…”
Lady Tang didn’t dare to fight back, and she shouted while dodging, “Ouch, ouch, the third branch is so poor it clinks, I meant well, wanted Yixiu to have enough to eat, to save the third branch from spending on food…”
Qian Manhe hurried to hug Old woman Qian and said, “Granny, please don’t beat her anymore; watch out for your health.” Then he said to Lady Tang, “Mother, stop talking nonsense; Dad and I have long said that idea won’t work…”
Qian Mandua pushed Qian Manhe several times and scolded him, “You’re my own brother, why are you taking an outsider’s side over your own family? Your brother-in-law and nephew got beaten up like this, and you don’t help but instead blame Mother for it. Are you still my own brother?”
“I side with reason, not simply with relatives! Besides, Jinwa and Yixiu are also our nephew and niece. Now that the Manjiang Brothers are gone, we should treat their children even better, so how can you scheme against them?” Qian Manhe yelled.
“Nonsense, a backstabber. I was just helping the third branch save on food…” Lady Tang stubbornly retorted.
Lady Wu hated Lady Tang to the extreme. Hearing her talking nonsense, she handed Qian Yeejin from her arms to Qian Mandie and went to grab Lady Tang’s hair to scratch her face, scolding, “I’ll kill you, whore; my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter, how dare you scheme against them. If you like money so much, why don’t you sell your daughter-in-law, sell your granddaughter, and save food for your own family…”
Lady Wu, usually gentle and good-tempered, was now so angry she lost her senses and vented all her previous anger on Lady Tang, scratching until she screamed repeatedly.
As the two sisters-in-law fought, Qian Dagui and Qian Ergui, unable to intervene, could only shout, while Old woman Qian cleverly held back Qian Manhe, who wanted to break up the fight.
Seeing her mother getting beaten, Qian Mandua wanted to help Lady Tang, but was held back by Lady Xu next to her, who chided, “You’ve done something shameful, and now you want to hit your elder too?”
Li Shuanzi was just a coward, overwhelmed by Qian Manchuan’s beating and terrified by Dashan, he lay on the stone table pretending to be dead. Li Ahcai had more guts than his father; he rushed over to help Lady Tang but got stopped and beaten by Qian Yishan. Qian Yeejin no longer pretended to be ill, slid off Qian Mandie’s body, and joined Qian Yishan to hit Li Ahcai.
Lady Wang was also angry at Lady Tang and her daughter’s insatiable greed, and she exclaimed from the side, “Good! Beat the greedy wretch who only knows how to do shameless things to death!”
Lady Wong, who had just arrived, hurried over to shield Lady Tang from Lady Wu’s blows.
After a while, Qian Dagui saw that enough trouble had been caused and ordered Lady Wang to separate Lady Wu and Lady Tang; everyone else stopped as well.
Qian Dagui, not wanting to directly scold his siblings, reprimanded Qian Mandua, “Marriage affairs should be a matter of mutual consent. If they’re not willing, then let it be, especially since we’re all relatives. And you fed Cai Wa those ideas. What does such a young kid understand? And Shuanzi, you’re a grown man, how could you be so ruthless to Jinwa?”
Li Ahcai even cried with righteous indignation, “Yixiu is my little wife, how is it wrong for me to hit her a couple of times, what right do you have to hit us?”
Qian Dagui and Qian Ergui scolded, “Don’t talk nonsense! Yixiu is no one’s wife, her family hasn’t promised her to anyone yet.”
Qian Yijin and Qian Yishan were so angry that they pushed Li Ah Cai again, “Keep talking nonsense, and we’ll beat you to death.” They had only shoved him a couple of times before they were pulled apart by the adults.
Qian Sangui had already been carried back by Qian Manchuan. He had heard the whole story from Manchuan on the way, and his face turned livid with rage upon seeing his younger siblings in such a sorry state.
He pulled Qian Yixiu into his embrace and caressed Qian Yijin, saying guiltily, “Grandfather is incompetent, it’s unfair to you all. You’ve been starving and freezing since childhood, and now you’re being bullied by others, schemed against at such a young age to become someone else’s child bride…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence before he started choking up and couldn’t continue. He clenched his fist over his mouth, as if frightened he would cry out, his face flushed red, and his body slightly trembling.
Qian Ergui, his face flushed with anger, rushed over again and slapped Lady Tang several times, “You wicked woman, Sangui’s family is already struggling, and you still scheme against them…”

Lady Tang’s wails grew louder as she struggled with Qian Ergui. Qian Manjiang and Qian Mandua hurriedly intervened, while Old Woman Qian took the opportunity to hit Lady Tang a few times with her duster.
Qian Sangui steadied his emotions and coldly said to Qian Ergui, “Er Gui, Tang has repeatedly schemed against our family. Tell me, what should be done? If you do not strictly control her, Mother and Da Gui will bear witness, and we will have to sever ties with your household.”
Qian Dagui also said, “An unworthy wife is the root of family chaos; it’s time for Er Gui to truly take charge.”
Old Woman Qian, pointing at Lady Tang with the feather duster, said, “How to take charge? In my opinion, this woman is greedy, lazy, and lacks conscience; just divorce her.”
Qian Ergui, furious with Lady Tang for scheming blindly against relatives yet reluctant to let go of over two decades of marital affection, was so choked up that his face turned bright red. Qian Manhe quickly went down on his knees to plead with Old Woman Qian, Da Gui, and Qian Sangui, “Please, Grandma, Da Bo, San Shu, for the sake of your grandson, your nephew, forgive my mother this time. She has learned her lesson and will not dare again…”
Lady Wong quickly knelt down as well, Qian Mandua was also frightened and followed suit by kneeling down.
Lady Tang, who had been howling loudly, was now genuinely afraid, and knelt down to Old Woman Qian, saying, “Mother-in-law, I won’t dare again.” Then, softening her voice, she cried to Qian Ergui, “My husband, I wasn’t scheming but simply admired Yixiu’s intelligence, and I thought Cai Wa was capable, much better than his father, which is why I considered pairing them up. If San Shu and the others are unwilling, then let it be. I haven’t forced it…” She couldn’t finish before she broke down completely, “After today’s incident, I have lost my dignity, been scolded by the younger generations, beaten by my mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law… Now that the head of the family has also disapproved, I will never bring this up again. My husband, don’t be angry; if your health suffers, how can I go on living…”
Qian Mandua also said, “Dad, Cai Wa and his dad fighting with Yixiu and Jinwa has nothing to do with Mom. Dad, please don’t wrongly blame Mom.”
Lady Tang was not stupid in some ways; on the contrary, she was more adept than many women at handling men. She knew when to be tough and when to appear weak. Qian Ergui, being an honest man, had been held hostage by Lady Tang for so many years.
This tactic had indeed never failed, and Qian Ergui, seeing Lady Tang with her hair disheveled and her face covered with scratches, felt some reluctance again. In a fit of pique, he said, “What good does it do to tell me? The ones you’ve wronged are Sangui’s family.”
Reminded by him, Lady Tang quickly got up and said to Qian Sangui and Lady Wu, “San Shu, Di Mei, I just favored Yixiu and wanted to strengthen family ties. If you don’t want to, then let’s forget about it. I won’t bring it up again.”
Qian Manhe kowtowed to Qian Sangui and Lady Wu, begging, “Nephew apologizes on behalf of my mother to you both. She won’t dare to do it again.”
