2: To substitute for someone else in a marriage.
Second Aunt Xiao also spat out a mouthful of phlegm and said with a face full of smiles.
"Niannian, once you reach the Wang Family, you'll be living the high life. Don't forget Second Uncle and Second Aunt..."
You cheap slut! If it weren't for her, how would our Second Branch have become estranged from that Old Woman? She wanted to see where that Old Woman hid the remaining money now that Xiao Niannian wasn't home.
This was five hundred yuan. Villagers like them couldn't save a hundred yuan all year long. Five hundred yuan was just enough for their son to marry, with one or two hundred yuan left over. That two hundred yuan could then be used as a dowry for Xiao Yueyue. The Xu Family would definitely give ten or twenty times the bride price... Thinking about her daughter marrying a Military Unit Officer, and her becoming the Officer's mother-in-law, Second Aunt Xiao immediately felt her status was much higher than the women in the Commune.
She was a relative of a Martyr, and now the mother-in-law of an Officer.
Grandma Xiao trembled with rage upon hearing these words.
"Get out of here, Second Son and Second Daughter-in-law! You will face retribution."
Seeing her mother-in-law blocking the way, Second Aunt Xiao grew even angrier. This adopted girl was treated like a treasure by the Old Woman, but her own biological son, Grandson, and Granddaughter were treated like outsiders. In her fury, she reached out and pushed Grandma Xiao.
Grandma Xiao hadn't expected her second daughter-in-law to push her, and she stumbled toward the ground.
"Grandma."
Xiao Niannian quickly moved, catching Grandma Xiao before she fell completely.
"You are courting death." Xiao Niannian glared at these people, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Wang Dazhuang looked at Xiao Niannian's furious appearance and felt even more aroused. He wished he could take Xiao Niannian right then and there.
"Wife, your angry look really makes my heart itch."
Wang Dazhuang extended his Lecherous Hand toward Xiao Niannian's chest.
The next second, Wang Dazhuang yelled out.
"Ah!"
His hand was twisted by Xiao Niannian, and the pain made him scream.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch."
Xiao Niannian kicked Wang Dazhuang over a meter away, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.
"Bang."
Wang Dazhuang hit a chair, smashing the old chair apart.
All the people who had been laughing were stunned.
Second Uncle Xiao and Second Aunt Xiao stepped back in fright, and Second Aunt Xiao cursed.
"You wretched girl! How dare you kick your man? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Dazhuang, or tomorrow we'll have people from the Commune take you to the Public Security Bureau..."
Second Aunt Xiao used the Commune and the Public Security Bureau to threaten Xiao Niannian.
If it were the original owner, she might be scared, but who was Xiao Niannian? She was a Special Forces Soldier from 2025. She had returned decades into the past, and these people couldn't scare her.
"That's right, hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Dazhuang, otherwise you'll be locked up in the bureau, and maybe even sent off to a Farm or a Coal Mine. Don't ever expect to return alive in this lifetime..." Second Uncle Xiao also shouted menacingly.
Wang Dazhuang was dazed by the kick. Right now, he was grimacing in pain. He hadn't expected Xiao Niannian, who looked like a delicate woman, to be able to kick him flying.
Her temper was too fierce! But he liked it even more. Previous women either cried or flailed when they saw him, but no one had ever dared to hit him like this.
At the doorway, a somewhat plump girl wearing a red cotton coat was also stunned by the scene inside the house.
Was this still the Xiao Niannian she bullied and cursed every day? Could she really kick a fat man like Wang Dazhuang over a meter away?
"Xiao Niannian, you really opened my eyes. But I like it even more."
Wang Dazhuang laughed wickedly.
"The rest of you, help me pin her down. Today, I'm going to let her know what it means to be her man..."
Hearing Wang Dazhuang's shout, the others also rushed forward.
Xiao Niannian had just helped Grandma to the side when she saw these people charging forward. She didn't hold back, directly stepping forward to fight them.
Although these men looked intimidating, they were actually no match for her. Xiao Niannian knocked them down one by one with a punch or a kick.
"Ouch."
"Ouch, that hurts so much."
Some who were knocked down got back up, swinging their fists and rushing toward Xiao Niannian, but before they could even touch her, they were kicked back down to the ground.
"Ah!"
Wang Dazhuang saw his brothers surrounding Xiao Niannian, so he quietly grabbed a wooden stick and swung it toward Xiao Niannian's head. However, Xiao Niannian turned and kicked it, sending the stick back onto his own head. He immediately fell to the ground, completely dazed.
Second Uncle Xiao and Second Aunt Xiao were greatly startled. How was this wretched girl acting like she was possessed? Before, she struggled just to lift a bucket of water, but now she could fight five or six strong men alone.
They shivered inwardly, deciding it was best to flee first and discuss a new plan with Wang Dazhuang and the others later.
Seeing them about to escape, Xiao Niannian shouted loudly.
"Stop."
Second Uncle Xiao and Second Aunt Xiao immediately stopped and smiled toward Xiao Niannian.
"Niannian."
Xiao Niannian stepped forward and slapped them.
"Not calling me a wretched girl anymore?"
Second Uncle Xiao was stunned by the slap. Before, he was the only one who slapped Xiao Niannian, but today Xiao Niannian dared to slap him. He glared at Xiao Niannian, but when their eyes met, he immediately shrank back and forced a smile.
"Second Uncle misspoke just now."
Second Aunt Xiao also spoke up.
"That's right, Niannian, please let us go. We are your biological Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
"Slap."
Xiao Niannian delivered another slap, making Second Aunt Xiao nearly jump up.
"Return the things you stole."
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, Second Uncle Xiao and Second Aunt Xiao immediately darted their eyes around nervously.
"What... things? We didn't steal anything."
"The Xu Family's Jade Pendant, the things my parents left behind, and Grandma's money and Ration Coupons."
The things Xiao Niannian mentioned that her parents left behind referred to the Carved Wooden Bracelet found in Xiao Niannian's swaddling clothes. It looked dark and black, and she didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, but it was something left behind when Grandma Xiao found Xiao Niannian, sewn into the swaddling clothes.
It was only after Grandma Xiao took Xiao Niannian home that she discovered things sewn into the swaddling clothes, along with money and Ration Coupons.
"Xiao Niannian, are you crazy? How dare you hit my parents..."
Xiao Yueyue angrily walked out from the doorway.
Xiao Niannian looked at the bag Xiao Yueyue was carrying. The way she tightly clutched the bag and her nervous demeanor showed that the items were inside Xiao Yueyue's possession.
"You eat the Xiao Family's food, use the Xiao Family's things. The Xiao Family raised you for so many years, and yet you turned out to be such an Ingrate, daring to hit my parents. You really are a slut..."
Before Xiao Yueyue finished cursing, Xiao Niannian snatched the bag from her hand.
"You actually stole my things!" Xiao Yueyue panicked. Inside were the Letter of Introduction, the Xu Family's Jade Pendant, and Xiao Niannian's Wooden Bracelet.
