“No, let’s go,” Gu Chaoyan insisted.

The second branch of the Yan Family glared at the determined Yan Danqiu with hostility.

“This is my brother’s house. My brother is dead. These things belong to us. It’s only right for us to take them. We can’t keep them for you guys to lose money, right?” Yan Tieniu shouted.

Gu Chaoyan stood her ground.

Yan Dandong couldn’t hold back her tears. “Mother has already fallen ill. There’s only a little food at home. If you take it away, we’ll have nothing. We won’t be able to survive.”

“What does it have to do with us if you guys can’t survive?” Yan Tieniu showed no empathy. He was on the brink of aggression.

The people from the second branch of the Yan Family were determined to force their way in.

Gu Chaoyan, brandishing a kitchen knife, swung it menacingly. “I’ll kill whoever snatches it!”

“…”

“My sister is right. Without this bit of food, mother and we will starve to death. We can’t live any longer, so we might as well take some people with us,” Gu Chaoyan declared with no trace of warmth in her eyes.

The individuals from the second branch of the Yan Family were left stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, they swiftly regained their composure.

“Who do you think you’re scaring?” Madam Jin retorted fearlessly, undeterred.

Leading the charge, she attempted to push her way inside.

Gu Chaoyan, without a hint of hesitation, swung the knife at her.

Seeing the swift attack, Madam Jin, who initially thought Yan Danqiu was bluffing, was startled as her hand narrowly avoided being cut. Although unharmed, there were visible wounds.

Shocked, she hastily retreated. “You… you’re a murderer!”

“…”

“He who is down need fear no fall. I am not going to live anyway, so I might as well drag you down with me. It is worth it. We are not doing well, and I am not going to let anyone live well,” Gu Chaoyan threatened.

The second branch of the Yan Family insisted on pressing forward, but Gu Chaoyan swiftly incapacitated them one by one. Yan Tieniu attempted to apprehend her, but she deftly evaded him.

Forced to retreat, the second branch of the Yan Family had no other option.

Only then did Yan Dandong’s family breathe a sigh of relief.

In particular, Yan Dandong regarded Danqiu with admiration. “Sister!”

In the past, her sister had protected them, but she hadn’t displayed such dominance and courage.

Now, Yan Dandong felt that, with her sister around, there was nothing to fear.

While Yan Dandong was reveling in happiness, Yan Danxia returned with a plethora of wild vegetables. She furrowed her brow and remarked, “I’ll cook wild vegetables for you. It can last for a few days. I hope Mother will recover soon.”

“Second Sister, there’s no need to eat wild vegetables. There’s still some rice at home,” Yan Dandong exclaimed joyfully.

“There’s still rice?” Yan Danxia felt a bit puzzled. Logically, there shouldn’t be anything left in the house; anything would have been stolen. “They didn’t come to snatch it?”

“They came, but my sister drove them away,” Yan Dandong assured.

Yan Danxia looked at Gu Chaoyan incredulously.

Although Yan Danqiu was protective, she was usually timid. Other than pleading, she didn’t know what else to do. With her in charge, things at home would be taken even more swiftly. How could she have driven them away?

Yan Danqiu found it hard to believe.

“It’s true,” Yan Dandong affirmed.

Gu Chaoyan did not wish to delve further into the conversation, so she redirected, saying, “Let’s go and cook first. We’ll skip the wild vegetables for now. We can have whatever we want. I’ll make sure Mother gets more. As for the rest, I’ll take care of it.”
