"I'll fight you to the death!"

When Wu Yuzhen saw that her son had been beaten by Xu Yan, she immediately burst into tears and tried to rush to her side.

Xie Zhuo stopped her, and then Li Aihua and several other aunties seized the opportunity to rush over and block her.

"You little bitch," Wu Yuzhen cursed, "how dare you hit my son, my darling!"

son?

Xu Yan was still angry. When she was called out like that, she looked down at the chubby boy who was still crying loudly, and then looked at Wu Yuzhen.

This... a child born late in life?

But at this point, who cares if he's a child born late in life? Anyone who dares to push Xiaobao deserves to be hit.

Seeing that the chubby boy was crying and trying to shove Xiaobao again in revenge, Xu Yan slapped him again in the same spot she had just hit.

Fatty cried even louder.

"Xu Yan, you shameless slut! He's still a child! How could you hit him so hard? I'm going to the city to call the police and have you arrested!"

When Wu Yuzhen saw that she had slapped her son again, she broke free from the others' hands like a madwoman and rushed towards Xu Yan.

However, he couldn't get close to Xu Yan either, as Xie Zhuo was blocking her way.

Those around her also felt that Xu Yan had gone a bit too far.

"She's just a child, how could she hit her so hard?"

"Exactly, I think that was a deadly attack. What deep-seated hatred or grudge could they have?"

"He usually puts on a good act, but I never expected him to have such a bad temper."

"No matter what, hitting children is wrong."

"I think she just doesn't like children, that's why..."

"Speak louder," Xu Yan suddenly turned her head and glanced at the few people who were gossiping, finally fixing her gaze on Granny Tian and Granny Qian, who was about to speak. "What kind of skill is it to whisper and mutter?"

Granny Tian fell silent, like a chicken whose beak had been suddenly pinched.

Granny Qian didn't stop, and snorted coldly, "Who are you threatening? It's true, Jiabao is just a child. You hit him as soon as you saw him, and hit him so hard. What else can it be but that you hate children?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuzhen cursed even more fiercely.

The chubby boy is scared now, and he ran crying to his mother.

Xu Yan did not stop him.

"You're really blind," Xu Yan said. She rarely argued with such a rogue, or rather, she had never argued with him before. Her upbringing and education would never have allowed her to do such a thing in public.

Civilized people should be reasonable.

But ever since she transmigrated into this book, her worldview has been constantly being challenged.

They're all so shameless.

You want to reason with them? Ha, that's like talking to a brick wall!

You really have to yell and curse directly.

"What's the point of having two big holes on your face?" Xu Yan said coldly. "Didn't you see that fatso pushed our little one first?"

Upon hearing her son being called "Fatty," Wu Yuzhen started calling him that again.

However, Xu Yan's voice was even louder than hers, "And you shameless thing, don't think I didn't hear how you cursed Xie Zhuo before. You still have the nerve to bring a bunch of brats to ride bicycles? You think you're worthy?"

"Pah!"

Of course, she didn't actually spit it out; spitting was just too disgusting, and she really couldn't do it.

"I'm making this clear here today," Xu Yan said, glancing around and seeing many surprised and bewildered faces.

You've never seen educated youth swearing, have you?

Do you think the educated youth are easy to bully?

She narrowed her eyes and continued, "Those who bullied our Da Bao and Xiao Bao before, and... those who bullied Xie Zhuo, and those who cursed them behind their backs, should leave as soon as possible. Don't even mention riding a bicycle with them, you can't even touch them!"

"Although I didn't remember some of the names, I can still remember most of their faces."

Not long after she finished speaking, a woman in the crowd spat and then pulled her child away.

As he left, he couldn't help but mutter a few curses, "Who cares? It's just a bicycle. Who knows if it was bought with borrowed money to show off?"

She spoke quite loudly, and her expression was full of disdain, but her child was different.

Knowing he could no longer ride a bicycle, he immediately started yelling.

"Mom! I want to ride a bicycle too!"

He had barely finished shouting when his mother slapped him on the back, yelling, "You little brat, try howling again!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the child's arm and walked away.

Xu Yan watched their figures and sneered, "Oh, I just slapped that fat kid twice, and she said I shouldn't have hit a child so hard, and that I have a bad temper."

"I thought she had a great temper, and this is all she is?"

"She must have picked up their child from the roadside. How could she hurt him so badly? What deep-seated grudge could she have against her?"

Her tone was exactly mimicking those people from before, causing the faces of the aunties to change repeatedly.

But once Xu Yan made her statement, it wouldn't be so easy to change her mind. They also couldn't bring themselves to apologize to Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo, so in the end, they all forcibly dragged their children away.

The surroundings were finally quiet.

There aren't many people left.

Wu Yuzhen hadn't left yet; she was holding her chubby son and coaxing him for a long time. The other three stood timidly by, sniffling, watching without daring to say a word.

Li Aihua was usually quick-witted. She winked at the other women in her auntie and then prepared to leave.

“Little Xu, the educated youth,” Li Aihua now knew who to talk to about the bicycle ride, and she looked at Xu Yan warmly.

"We have some things to take care of at home, so we'll leave now. We'll come back this afternoon when Mr. Xie... Xie Zhuo returns."

This was the first time she had ever called Xie Zhuo by his full name, and she almost bit her tongue because she couldn't understand it.

Her attitude was good, so Xu Yan responded with a smile, "Okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and get busy. I'll have Da Bao and Xiao Bao call you when Xie Zhuo comes back this afternoon."

After Li Aihua and the others left, the area in front of the Xie family's house became even emptier.

Xu Yan glanced indifferently at Wu Yuzhen, then turned his gaze to Da Bao and Xiao Bao, who were hiding next to Xie Zhuo and clinging to his leg.

"Are you scared?" Xu Yan touched the two little ones' cheeks.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn't say anything for a long time before bursting into tears.

This crying left Xu Yan completely stunned.

She looked at Xie Zhuo somewhat helplessly, and then Da Bao and Xiao Bao moved from Xie Zhuo's lap to hers.

"Third Aunt," Da Bao said, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?" Xu Yan quickly squatted down and wiped away their tears.

Da Bao didn't say anything, he just cried.

Xiao Bao started crying too.

She hurriedly wiped away the tears from the two children's faces, then looked up at Xie Zhuo, "Quickly comfort them, they're crying like this."

"I almost cried," Xie Zhuo suddenly said, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked down at her.

Xu Yan paused, stared at him for a long time, and then smiled, "Then let him cry, and Third Aunt will comfort the Xie family's greatest treasure."
