The branches are long and thin; when they lash someone, they leave streaks.

Suti was frail from a young age, so her mother taught her many unconventional methods of protection.

She knew which parts of a man's body were most vulnerable to injury, and that was the key to catching him off guard.

He might not be able to deal with those professionally trained or strong men, but Suti was full of confidence in this man who looked like a girl.

"Ah, ah..." Jin Jianguo didn't expect her to make a move, and he covered his genitals while trying to avoid people.

"You little bitch, how dare you hit me! Oh, oh..." Jin Jianguo wanted to fight back, but his lower body was in too much pain, and he didn't dare to straighten up.

"I'm going to beat you up. It's better to cripple you. Keeping you around is just asking for trouble. Don't worry, I'll pray in my heart that you'll be infertile and have many children and grandchildren."

Suti wouldn't give him a chance to resist, and after a satisfying stroke, he quickly stopped when he heard someone approaching.

She quickly threw the branch away and sat down on the ground.

"Help! Help!" Suti pinched her leg, tears streaming down her face.

Jin Jianguo, who was still clutching his groin, stared in disbelief, wondering what trick she was up to.

"What the hell are you pretending for? Today I..." Jin Jianguo wanted to curse back; he was determined to show her what he was capable of.

"My goodness, what is going on here?" Some of the villagers who had large families and needed to go home early to cook lunch were startled when they saw Suti lying on the ground from a distance.

The one who spoke was the Party Secretary's wife. Ever since what happened with the Wei family, their family and Wei Lao Er's family had been in the same boat.

"Jianguo, how could you hit someone? What did Su Zhiqing do to you?" Several aunties didn't know what had happened, but when they saw Su Ti lying on the ground, they knew something was wrong.

"Auntie, I don't know what happened either. This comrade said that his brother dislikes me and wants to avenge him."

"I was just about to hand in my work points when he came up to me and tried to hit me." Suti wouldn't call it being a hooligan.

Otherwise, whether he admits it or not, she won't get any credit; people will just think she seduced someone.

If Jin Jianguo says anything more, the mud will be thrown at her. Rumors spread like wildfire, and who knows what will happen in the end?

"What brother? Jianguo, you don't mean... Oh right, Jianguo and Wei's third son are on good terms, but you can't be unreasonable."

"Can you blame Su, the educated youth, for what happened to the Wei family? How could you hit someone? Hurry up and tell the brigade leader. This is unacceptable. Our brigade can't have such an unreasonable person anymore."

The village secretary's family suddenly remembered something; they hadn't realized that the Jin family's son was such a loyal friend.

Even loyalty has its limits. Su, the educated youth, has already suffered enough. If anything else happens, their brigade will really lose face.

"I didn't, it's...it's..." Jin Jianguo bent over, unable to defend himself.

Can he say that this woman kicked him in the groin? Can he say that this woman beat him up? Or can he say that she tried to harass him? He can't say anything.

"What? What do you want to say? Let's wait for the brigade leader to come." The village secretary's family member looked at the Jin family's son and thought he was too stupid.

No one in the brigade wants to associate with the Wei family anymore, so he's the only one foolish enough to stand up for them.

Then she remembered that the Wei family hadn't given her family any money yet, and she started to dislike Jin Jianguo.

Anyone who gets close to the Wei family is considered to have a grudge against them. They've been to the Wei family several times, but that family is incredibly stubborn and refuses to give them any money.

Back when they were the brigade leader's family, they cared a lot about face; now, no one is more willing to go to such lengths than them.

They're all despicable bastards. They swindled so much money from Su Zhiqing and then kicked her out, yet their whole family is living a comfortable life.

The captain arrived quickly, but Wei Baichuan arrived even faster.

"Bang!" Wei Baichuan kicked the man away as soon as he saw him, and swung his hammer-like fist at him.

Wei Baichuan heard someone hitting his wife's head and his body went faster than his brain; he darted out in an instant.

"Old Wei, that's enough, that's enough. If you keep hitting him, you'll kill him." Several people from the brigade saw Jin Jianguo's bruised and swollen face and quickly came over to stop him.

Even though several people tried to pull and hug him, they couldn't get him down.

"Baichuan." Su Ti quickly stood up and called out, but Wei Baichuan stopped immediately when she tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Wife, were you scared? Are you hurt anywhere?" Wei Baichuan was still angry and wanted to kick her a couple more times.

He woke up instantly when he heard Suti's voice.

His wife would be scared; he couldn't really kill the person.

"I'm fine. He pushed me and was about to hit me when a few aunties arrived." Su Ti grabbed Wei Baichuan's arm, afraid that he would act impulsively again.

We can't keep fighting like this; at worst, we'll just secretly put a sack over their heads.

"That... Su Zhiqing, what a mess this is. Jian Guo is a kind-hearted person, he must have been fooled by those people from the Wei family."

"Look, you weren't hurt this time, and Wei got a good beating to vent his anger. I'll definitely do some serious ideological work on Jian Guo. How about we just let it go?"

The newly appointed brigade leader is also surnamed Wei. Most of the people in Yangliu Brigade are surnamed Wei, and most of them are surnamed Jin, with only a few households having other surnames.

When the brigade leader arrived, several women told him what had happened, and he also thought that Jin Jianguo had lost his mind.

"What do you mean 'let it go'? We can't let it go. Our Jianguo didn't hurt anyone; he's the one who got beaten up."

"My son, he's our only precious child. What will we do if something happens to him?"

Jin Jianguo's mother was very short, and it took her a long time to catch up. When she arrived, she saw her son beaten to the point of near death.

Hearing the captain's words, which implied he wasn't going to seek justice for their family, they refused to do anything more and started crying and wailing while holding their loved ones.

“He was the one who wanted to hit me. If it weren’t for the fact that a few aunties saw it, I, a woman, might have been beaten to death by him.”

"I've decided to reluctantly accept what the captain has said. If you're still insisting, why don't you call the police?"

Suti thought of herself as a sensible and well-behaved child, and that it was always right to go to the police if she needed anything.

“Jianguo’s mother, have you thought this through? It was Jianguo who started this whole thing, he just didn’t beat Wei Lao Er in the end.”

“You’re the ones who are wrong, and if you go to the Ministry of Public Security, your reputation will be ruined.”

Captain Wei is a fair and impartial person. At most, he felt that Wei Lao Er had gone a bit too far, but anyone would be anxious in this situation.

If your wife gets beaten by your husband, shouldn't you get revenge?

If they really went to the Ministry of Public Security, the Jin family would be overwhelmed just by the fact that they were dealing with educated youth. Besides, Su, the educated youth, had already made a name for herself in the Ministry of Public Security.

It's obvious they'll protect her. Not only will the Jin family suffer, but their reputation will also be further damaged.

Thinking that several incidents were caused by Wei Changgen's family, the team members were even more disgusted with them.
