Gao saw Chen Afu's eyes widened and her face flushed with anger, and knew she was going to fight. After hearing this, she quickly put down the basin and ran eastward. She knew that in a fight, only Chen Afu in the second house could fight a few times, and even if her husband and father-in-law were added, they would not be able to beat those people.

The three men were talking excitedly and continued their discussion without realizing that someone had come up behind them.

Chen Ahfu stood behind the three women. One of them was in her thirties and spoke reasonably, but the other two were just making fun of Wang.

Chen Ahfu cursed, "You two foul-mouthed women, how dare you slander others like this? I will beat you to death."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she eliminated the person who spoke "human words", and one less enemy was one less.

The other two women were both in their forties, and they liked to gossip about the people in the village. When the villagers heard that Chen Juren from the neighboring town had become the prefect, they were all very happy and felt proud. This was not only a happy event for Zhaojia Village in Fenglin Town, but also a happy event for the entire Sanqing County.

While people were proud that Mr. Chen had become the prefect, they felt that Wang Shi, who had let Mr. Chen down, was an eyesore. A woman, first she was jealous, then she married two husbands. Now everyone in the village was talking about this, and of course the gossipy women in the village were talking even more.

The two gossiping women were squatting by the stream washing clothes and talking loudly, when suddenly a vicious voice came from behind them. Before they could react, each of them was hit on the back with a stick. Then, they were pushed and shoved into the stream.

Chen Afu only pushed one person, and when she was about to push the second person, that person had been pushed into the stream by Zhuifeng.

This is a shallow part of the stream, where the water level is only above the knees, so there is no need to worry about them drowning.

The two women crawled in the water, the rocks at the bottom of the water made them feel excruciating pain, and the cold water made them feel even more uncomfortable. As soon as they screamed and tried to stand up, one of them was hit on the back by a wooden stick, and the other was pushed into the water by Zhuifeng and couldn't get up.

This sudden change frightened the other woman so much that she didn't dare to stop Chen Afu and screamed "Help".

Chen Ahfu took the initiative, swinging his stick up and down, hitting the wet flesh with a slapping sound. After this man hit a few times with the stick, he quickly hit the person who was pressed into the water by Zhuifeng, and then hit the two women so hard that they couldn't get up.

He cursed viciously, "I told you to talk nonsense and be immoral. I will beat you two stinky women to death..."

The two women were beaten and pushed by dogs. The water was slippery and they could not get up at all. In addition, they were in pain and cold, so they crawled in the water, crying and shouting, "I won't do it again."

People nearby came to watch the fun.

Because they were fighting so fiercely in the water, the women were unwilling to go into the water, and the men did not dare to separate them. They just stood by the stream and shouted things like "Stop fighting, someone is going to die."

After a while, Gao Lizheng came running over. He cursed, "No one is allowed to hit, stop it now." He pointed at a few older strong women and said, "Go, pull them all to the shore. This is not fair."

Chen Afu and two other people were forcibly dragged ashore by several women.

Chen Ahfu's shoes were filled with water, and her skirt below the knees was also wet, but her upper body was fine, with only some water splashing on it. She was extremely angry at the moment, and didn't feel the cold at all.

But the two women were in a miserable state. They were soaked, their curves were exposed, and one of them had her belt loosened, looking miserable. Not to mention the bruises that others couldn't see, and the wounds from being scratched by underwater rocks. They were in pain and shame, and sat on the ground crying loudly.

At this time, Chen's family and the families of the two women also came running over. There were at least thirty people from the two families, more than a dozen of whom were holding shovels, hoes, sticks and the like. They all looked at Chen Ahfu with cold brows, yelling and cursing, ready to rush forward to beat her and eat her up.

Except for Chen Ye and Chen Agui, all the Chen family members were old, weak, sick and disabled. Wang held Chen Afu tightly in her arms and did not allow her to rush out. Chen Ming used his arms to stop the two of them behind him. Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Ming stood together. Chen Alan was so scared that she covered her mouth and cried. Chen Ye and Chen Agui, holding hoes, stood at the front of the Chen family, ready to fight at any time.

Gao Li was standing in the middle, blocking the people from the two families, and shouting at the top of his voice, "Calm down, no fighting. If you hurt someone, no one will be in good shape..."

If a fight breaks out, the Chen family will be beaten down in less than half an hour.

He had to protect Chen Ahfu, not only because he had promised Manager Luo, but also because of the secret in his heart that he dared not tell.

He had met Chen Shiying in his early years. His wife, Zhao, was from Zhaojia Village. When Chen Afu was mentally retarded, she rarely saw her. When she occasionally saw her, her face was dark and gray. Later, when she was no longer mentally retarded, she met her several times and thought she looked familiar, but she didn't think much of it.

A few days ago, after hearing that Mr. Chen from Zhaojia Village had become the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture, he remembered that Chen Afu looked too much like Mr. Chen.

His wife also remembered it, and they both looked at each other and shouted "Oh—God—" at the same time.

Gao Lizheng told his wife not to tell anyone about this, and not to tell his son and daughter-in-law.

Therefore, we must not let the prefect's daughter get into trouble in our own village. Although Chen's mother did not recognize Wang, who knows whether Mr. Chen will recognize his daughter in the future?

He led a few villagers to stand between the families, shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to stop the two families from rushing forward.

Wu the Carpenter, Wu Changsheng and several members of the Chen family also came. They stood in the middle of the two groups with Gao Lizheng, trying to stop the fight. Even Wang Yingjun stood in the crowd, jumping up and down and shouting, "A gentleman should not fight with his hands. If you have something to say, talk it out nicely. It's not a skill for a man to hit a woman..."

When the two women saw their family members coming, they finally wanted to beat Chen Ahfu to vent their anger, but Gao Lizheng and the others stopped them from beating him. They were so angry that they sat on the ground and cried, "Oh, we don't want to live anymore. We were beaten like this by that evil woman raised by that young woman... It's so shameful... It's so embarrassing... Oh my God... Hang me with a rope..."

When they started making a fuss, their sons couldn't stand it anymore. Their eyes turned red and they rushed towards Chen Afu with hoes and sticks, pushing Gao Lizheng and others aside.

Chen Ye and Chen Agui blocked them with their eyes bulging and hoes in their hands. Zhuifeng also howled at them wildly. It seemed that an armed fight was about to begin.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar, "Stop it now."

Along with the shouting, several strong men with knives and guns came, followed by a dozen farmers with hoes and shovels. It was Manager Luo and his son who led the guards and tenants of Tangyuan.
