CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 320: KNOCK ON THE DOOR, MAKE IT LOUD!

Qingping Town, although called a town, is much larger than the towns Yuan Bao had seen before.

Several official roads converge here in Qingping Town, eventually leaving a wide road that extends toward Qianyang City.

The favorable geographic location has made commerce in Qingping Town quite prosperous.

In any case, when Yuan Bao arrived in Qingping Town, if not for not seeing the city walls outside, he would have doubted whether he had entered a city. No, even Sanchuan City, which Yuan Bao had visited before, didn’t seem as crowded as Qingping Town.

The woman’s family name was Ba, and her husband’s family name was Wang.

According to the way people refer to married women at this time, the woman should be called Wang Ba Shi.

Yuan Bao almost burst into laughter upon learning that the woman’s husband’s family was named Ba.

In the end, Yuan Bao could only address her as Mrs. Ba.

Although a woman should take her husband’s surname after marriage, this custom is more particular among the wealthy families; ordinary folks usually do not adhere strictly to it.

When Mrs. Ba led the way, and the group appeared outside her family’s gate, Yuan Bao looked at the grand and spacious gate, puzzled. Did Mrs. Ba’s family have their brains crushed by the door panel?

A household like this is definitely not an ordinary poor family.

"Honorable one, this is my family’s home!"

Mrs. Ba stood outside the door, her body trembling slightly. Looking at the courtyard before her, her eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

"Sister Mei, could you please knock on the door?"

"Make it enthusiastic!"

Yuan Bao glanced sideways at Mei Jiu and smiled as he spoke.

Mei Jiu slightly paused upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, not fully understanding his meaning.

However, Nanny Xue immediately understood what Yuan Bao wanted, and she whispered a couple of words to Mei Jiu.

The next moment, Mei Jiu rushed forward and leaped into the air, delivering a powerful kick.

With a loud bang, Ba Family’s gate was kicked open by Mei Jiu and flew inward.

Meanwhile, Mei Jiu flipped in the air and returned to Yuan Bao’s side.

The loud noise alarmed the members of the Ba Family.

In just a moment, an elderly man led six brawny men out of the main hall, each holding some kind of weapon.

Be it a bench, a stick, or someone even holding a Bone Cutting Knife.

"Dad!"

Upon seeing the elderly man, Mrs. Ba timidly called out.

The elderly man was Mrs. Ba’s father, Ba Shuisheng.

The six brawny men following him were Mrs. Ba’s six brothers.

"Who did this?"

"Who dared to kick down the door of our old Ba Family?"

Ba Shuisheng looked at Mrs. Ba, "Daughter, tell me, who did it?"

"I did!"

Before Yuan Bao could speak, Mei Jiu had already stepped forward.

Seeing Mrs. Ba’s father and six brothers, Mei Jiu’s impression of her family plummeted instantly.

Mrs. Ba was very thin, with a small frame.

But Ba Shuisheng and his sons were all robust and muscular.

This stark contrast in physique made Mei Jiu realize that Mrs. Ba hadn’t led a good life at her family. Otherwise, how could siblings from the same mother differ so much in size?

Although Mei Jiu didn’t understand genetics, she knew that generally, siblings have common features, and their physiques should be quite similar unless there was a significant difference in living conditions.

"Young lass, are you looking for death!"

"I won’t tolerate your antics!"

Mrs. Ba’s eldest brother glared fiercely at Mei Jiu, directly raising the bench in his hand and throwing it over.
