Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 38: Choking Qiu's Neck Again
Aunt Hua beside her flew up and told Du Wanwan: "I'll go to the front to find out."
Xiao Qi has always been in perfect harmony with Aunt Hua. As soon as Aunt Hua left, Xiao Qi followed closely: "I'm going too."
The mother and daughter flew to the place where the people of Dujia Village were making fire and cooking, and hid in the darkness quietly, listening to the men and women of Dujia Village chatting, laughing, and cursing.
Unfortunately, after listening for a long time, they didn't hear anything useful. The mother and daughter were very discouraged and decided to continue listening. They would never go home until they heard any news that was beneficial to their master.
The owner treated them very well, so how could he not help her find out the information she wanted?
Unfortunately, their luck was bad. By the time the people in Dujia Village had eaten and drunk their fill and went to sleep, they had not yet obtained any useful information.
Most people in Dujia Village had gone to bed, but sisters-in-law Chen and Qiu were still awake. They were discussing going to Yao Meixian to ask for one or two taels of silver as compensation.
Chen knew that Qiu was very strong, so she flattered him: "Sister-in-law! Yao has now relied on the people of Huojia Village and doesn't take us seriously at all. Don't you always hate her? Don't you hate that disaster star for pinching your neck and forcing you to give up your household registration?
How about we two sisters-in-law join forces tonight and beat that evil star half to death? If you can get a tael of silver, we can split it 50-50.”
Originally, Qiu didn't want to get involved in muddy water with Chen, but when she heard her mention that Du Wanwan almost strangled her to death in front of the whole village, she became furious.
That was the shame of her life, being choked by a junior and having to admit defeat was really humiliating. If not for the money, just to vent her anger, she had to find trouble with that evil star.
With the protection of the people of Huojia Village? That's because they don't know that there is a disaster star in Du Jiang's family. If they knew, they would definitely drive them all out.
By then, their family will be all alone, and they will wonder who will take them in.
"Okay, since my second sister-in-law sincerely invites you, I'll go with you."
The two reached a consensus and hit it off, and brought Du Wensha to visit Du Jiang's family for the second time.
Xiao Qi and Aunt Hua noticed it and reported it to Du Wanwan. Xiao Qi spoke first: "Master! That crazy woman is here again, and she brought another one with her."
Aunt Hua was very worried: "Master! Do you want Xiao Qi and I to deal with them?"
Du Wanwan touched Aunt Hua's feathers and shook her head: "No need, they are no match for me, you and Xiaoqi go pick up some pebbles nearby."
"Okay!"
"Okay! Go right away."
Xiao Qi talked a lot. He followed Aunt Hua, found stones, picked them up with his mouth, and placed them at Du Wanwan's feet.
As soon as Chen and Qiu left, Mei followed them stealthily. She wanted to see who would win or lose tonight's battle. Yao Meixian was their eldest sister-in-law, but she was also a stubborn person who didn't know how to be sneaky and cunning. She suffered a lot when getting along with the sisters-in-law.
But my mother-in-law loved the eldest wife when she was still alive. Every time the Yao family was bullied, my mother-in-law would point at them and scold them. Over time, the three of them became one and were not afraid even if my mother-in-law wanted to scold them.
It's not just one person being insulted, it's three people being insulted at the same time. Everyone is embarrassed together, and it's not necessarily that one person has a better reputation than the other.
After fleeing from famine for so long, she felt that Chen and Qiu were closer and she was left out. In events like tonight, Chen only called Qiu and not her.
It doesn’t matter. The brothers have separated long ago. It doesn’t matter who is good to whom or not. We are not eating from the same pot, so there is no need to consider each other’s face.
After the fight with the old lady last time, she had the feeling that Du Wanwan had become a different person. Tonight, the two of them were going to have another fight, and she really wanted to know how that disaster star would deal with them.
Mei lowered her head and analyzed the situation. She felt that Du Wanwan could not possibly lose. That girl was now very ruthless. She would not care about whoever offended her, regardless of whether they were elders or not.
Qiu was almost strangled to death by her, why didn’t she learn her lesson?
With the intention of watching the fun, Mei followed slowly, with her hands tucked into her sleeves, and her ears perked up to listen to the voices coming from not far ahead.
Chen was the first to shout, "Yao! Your son beat my son. Give me one tael of silver, or I will not let you off today."
Yu Hanyan heard someone making a noise and winked at Mrs. Qian: "Go, help your sister."
Mrs. Qian understood, got off the carriage, and walked over leisurely. She really wanted to see what this woman who came to her house to cause trouble again and again looked like.
With Miss Du's skills, it's impossible for her to be bullied by this ignorant woman.
Yao Meixian didn't even bother to pay attention to Chen and just stared at her coldly. Du Jiang didn't say anything either, his face was terribly gloomy.
They were separated and driven out of Dujia Village, so why did these two people come back? Couldn't they just let them go? Wouldn't it be better to just be strangers?
The kids blackmailed them for a tael of silver after a fight. They must be obsessed with money!
The three brothers Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan, and Du Wenhuo gathered around their parents, staring at Chen and Qiu with displeasure.
They have not forgotten how the two aunts had forced their family. They thought that they should keep to themselves when they were outside, but they didn't expect that they would come to their doorstep to bully them.
"Yao! Are you mute? I'm asking you a question." Qiu stared at Yao Meixian, her eyes full of provocation, "Hurry up and give my second sister-in-law a tael of silver, or we won't be polite."
Du Wanwan stood up from where she was sitting, crossed her arms, and came to Qiu, smiling, with cold eyes: "How do you want to be rude? You didn't learn your lesson after being strangled once? How about another time?"
Before she finished her words, she moved as fast as lightning, grabbed Qiu's neck, and gradually reduced her strength.
Qiu was having difficulty breathing because of Du Wanwan's choking. She kept pulling at Du Wanwan's hand that was pinching her neck, but she was too weak to pull it free.
She kept coughing: "Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough! ...!"
Finally, he used up all his strength and let out a death roar: "You, you, you, let me go."
Mrs. Qian was afraid that Du Wanwan might really cause a death, so she hurried over to pull her back: "Dalang! Let go, something bad will happen."
Yao Meixian and Du Jiang sat aside and watched, with no intention of persuading their daughter. They knew that their daughter was measured in her actions and would not do anything reckless.
Seeing Qiu's face turned blue after being pinched by Du Wanwan, Chen was terrified and shouted in a timid voice: "Du Wanwan! You are such a disaster! Let go of your fourth aunt."
Du Wanwan looked at Qiu coldly, then suddenly let go and threw her out: "Get lost!"
Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Du Jiang and his wife in surprise. She couldn't understand why they didn't say anything. Did they know that Miss Du had an idea? Did they have some considerations?
Thinking about it this way, I feel that I am meddling in other people's business. This Chen is really a weirdo. She came here to make trouble before but didn't get any advantage. She still dares to come here. Isn't she unwilling to force people into a corner?
This was the first time she had seen such a stupid woman. They didn't know how to push Miss Du into a corner, and they couldn't take any advantage.
