Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 344: It’s so exciting to close the door and beat the dog

"I guess you are the village chief. We have some family matters to deal with with the Fang family, so please don't interfere." Wen Yan saluted calmly and unhurriedly.

"You've beaten someone like this, how can you call it a family affair? I advise you to stop while you're ahead, otherwise if the matter gets out of hand, it will be bad for Mr. Juren's reputation."

"It's just a few broken bones. They'll be fine after some rest. Besides, I paid the compensation." Wen Yan smiled kindly. "Also, I advise you not to try to threaten Yingjuren. He's not someone a mere village chief like you can touch."

"Liu Wenyan! Don't refuse my toast and then drink the forfeit." The village chief glared at me and slapped the table.

The cups and bowls on the table collided with each other, making a crisp tinkling sound.

"I wonder what kind of punishment the village chief wants me to drink? Are you going to take the whole village and detain us here? Or do you want to beat us up to avenge the Fang family?

Since you can call out my name, I believe you have heard of my identity.

If you dare to touch even a hair of mine, do you think there are enough people in your village to bury with me?"

"You...you are so arrogant!" The village chief was shocked.

He didn't expect that he would show up himself.

She doesn't know what's good for her and even dares to challenge me.

Is she really not afraid of having to leave the village?

"Hehe..., so what if I'm arrogant? What can you do to me?" Wen Yan made a face at the village chief.

The village chief really didn't dare to do anything to Wen Yan, let alone Ying Zhilin, the scholar.

He was so angry that his mouth was twisted.

"What are you pretending to be doing here? My second sister was treated like a workhorse by the Fang family. She had to go around the streets selling goods during the day and come back to do housework at night. Didn't you see it?

Why didn't you come out to seek justice when my second sister was beaten and had three or four miscarriages?

My little niece is only three or four years old. How badly has she been abused by them? Why haven't you shown up?

I'm just settling old scores with the Fang family today, and you can't sit still?

Those who know you think you are fair and just as the village chief; those who don’t think you have some kind of affair with the Fang family.”

The village chief was so angry that his face turned red and he was speechless.

"I'm sure everyone has seen what kind of life my second sister led in the Fang family, so I don't need to say more.

You can say that my second sister married from outside and is not a member of the family.

But what about my little niece?

Look at this child, she's clearly three or four years old, but she's as skinny as if she were only one or two. It's obvious that the Fang family has never given her a proper meal."

Wen Yan held Xiao Fang He and showed her hands to everyone, "Look at the chilblains on her hands.

I dare to ask, which child in the village could have such rotten hands?"

When the village chief saw the frostbite, his eyes shrank.

He had heard that Liu Ruxing and her daughter were not living well in the Fang family and thought that the Fang family was just enslaving Liu Ruxing. He didn't expect that they would treat a little girl so harshly.

People say girls are worthless, but there is no need to torture them like this.

Wen Yan smiled and asked the village chief: "So, village chief, are you still going to continue helping them?"

The village chief looked at Wen Yan and then at Ying Zhilin, both of whom were people he couldn't afford to offend.

He gritted his teeth and finally walked away.

"Village chief...Village chief, please don't go..." Fang's mother chased after him.

The village chief was afraid of being involved with her, so he ran away.

The third sister-in-law pulled Fang's mother back.

Those villagers who came to watch the fun did not dare to stay any longer and all left in shame.

The eldest sister-in-law walked over and closed the gate.

As for what's left, it's time to close the door and beat the dog.

Soon, screams were heard one after another in the Fang family's yard.

After Wen Yan had spent all the silver, several main laborers of the Fang family lay on the ground screaming.

Liu Ruxing held Fang He and stood aside, watching the Fang family members lose their hands and feet one after another.

There was a mixture of indifference and excitement in her eyes.

It turned out that those Fang family members who beat and scolded her at every turn, and whom she thought she could never resist, were like paper tigers in the face of absolute power and were completely vulnerable.

She regrets it now.

She regretted being too cowardly and not being able to resist earlier. She should have used the money she earned to hire a few thugs to beat up the Fang family all at once.

My daughter and I would suffer less.

Watching them rolling on the ground and wailing, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and a hoarse, mocking laugh came from her throat.

Her expression was distorted because she was trying to suppress her emotions.

In the eyes of others, she was so sad that she couldn't control herself.

Wen Yan walked up to Liu Ruxing and said, "Second sister, are you okay?"

The second sister calmed down her distorted expression and said, "I'm fine. The bad temper I've been carrying for the past few years has finally been released."

Wen Yan held her hand and said distressedly, "Second sister, why don't you get a divorce and leave this den of wolves completely."

Hearing that they could divorce, tears welled up in Liu Ruxing's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head: "Since the situation is favorable to me now, why should I leave now?

All the injustices I have suffered in the past few years cannot be undone by just a beating.

For every insult, I will return it double!"

My second sister has been suffering for nearly ten years, and it won't be resolved overnight.

It would be better for her to stay and torture the Fang family. After she had gotten rid of all the anger in her heart, it would not be too late to take him home.

Anyway, none of the adults in the Fang family are healthy now, so they no longer pose a threat.

Wen Yan didn't persuade him anymore, "Then you protect yourself here, I will find two helpers for you."

Wen Yan walked towards the courtyard gate.

The courtyard was filled with the Fang family's curses. Wen Yan pressed her ears and said, "It's so noisy."

Ying Zhilin immediately took off their shoes and stuffed them into those people's mouths.

The world is finally quiet.

Wen Yan opened the gate.

A bunch of villagers who were eavesdropping rushed in.

The villagers looked embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Wen Yan glanced around at the villagers, pointed at the two aunts, and said with a smile, "I need your help with something. Of course, you will get some benefits."

The two aunts immediately pushed aside the others and squeezed in front of Wen Yan, smiling and saying, "Madam Liu, what do you want?"

Wen Yan called them aside, and after a whisper, the two aunts nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Madam Liu. One-on-one, we may not be as powerful as Fang the bitch, but if we work together, Fang the bitch will definitely not be her opponent.

We will definitely protect your second sister and niece."

"Then I'll trouble you two aunts." Wen Yan gave each of them a hundred coins.

Wen Yan called her family and said, "We have finished dealing with things here, let's go home too."

When the Liu family said goodbye to the second sister, Zhang Gan'niang suggested taking Xiao Fanghe home to live for a while, but Liu Ruxing refused.

Xiao Fanghe herself didn't want to be separated from her mother, and they didn't force her.

Liu Ruxing's eyes were red: "Little sister, thank you."

Wen Yan patted her hands: "We are all sisters, there is no need to be so formal."

"Yeah." Liu Ruxing wiped her tears and nodded.
