    "You're worried about your second brother? You should worry about the person who offended him." I don't know why the second brother's family is so timid. It was just a glance at him. Although the big scar on his left cheek is indeed frightening, is it really necessary to be unconscious for two days? "Alright, go feed the chickens in the backyard. I'll go check on your sister-in-law." When Xi Qing woke up, she felt weak all over. She vaguely heard voices. Before she fainted, she knew she had been rescued, but why did the voices outside sound so unfamiliar? "Creak~" With the sound of the door opening, Xi Qing struggled to open her eyes and saw an old woman enter her room. Upon closer inspection, the old woman looked to be about sixty years old, with a thin frame and a sun-darkened face etched with wrinkles symbolizing the hardships of life. A few shrewd glints flashed in her small eyes, and her high cheekbones made her look somewhat mean.
