    Having obtained the signed confession, Yu Wanqing ransacked the three men, taking all their money. Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside. The original owner's mother, Li Xiulan, strode in. Upon seeing her mother, Yu Wanqing immediately threw herself into her arms, sobbing, "Mom, they tried to force me to my death!" She believed that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and felt that Yu Lao Er and his wife hadn't suffered enough; her mother needed to give them a good beating. Li Xiulan, working at the factory, suddenly felt a pang of sadness, tears welling in her eyes. Remembering her youngest daughter who was home alone that day, she quickly took leave to return home. Hearing her daughter's cries now, her heart broke. "Xiao Wu, don't cry. Tell Mom what happened." Yu Wanqing pointed at Yu Lao Er and said, "They drugged my egg drop soup, making me unconscious, then brought Hong Jianmin home, trying to force me into marriage. They actually wanted to use me to get a permanent position!" Yu Jiayi hadn't expected his sister to be so outspoken. He tried to explain, but was met with a slap from his mother. "Yu Lao Er, how dare you scheme against your own sister like this! You heartless beast, I'll beat you to death!" Li Xiulan kept hitting her second son. Yu Lao Er had just untied the ropes binding his feet when he was immediately subjected to a brutal beating. Screams rang out again. Li Xiulan was in the middle of her beating when she noticed her second daughter-in-law grabbing her hand. Without any politeness, she slapped her across the face: "You troublemaker, how dare you scheme against my daughter! I think you're tired of living!" After beating her son, she beat her daughter-in-law. Hong Jianmin, who was standing to the side, was so frightened by what he saw that he tried to run away, but a large broom blocked his way. He met Yu Wanqing's smiling eyes. At that moment, he didn't think Yu Wanqing was that beautiful; he only felt the pain in his groin was even more intense. "Yu Wanqing, are you going to oppose the Hong family?" He pretended to be calm, gritting his teeth: "Don't think that just because your father is an eighth-grade worker at the steel factory, I can't do anything to him." "His dad's the steel factory director." "I'll teach you what to do, I'll teach you to bark like a dog!" Hearing the commotion, Li Xiulan immediately shifted her attack to Hong Jianmin, snatching the large broom from her daughter and starting to beat him. Hong Jianmin fled in terror, covering his head.
