Shen Jingyan has never liked arguing with unreasonable people. If she can shut someone up with her fists, she will never say another word.

She has always been tolerant and patient with Gu Qing, but that's only because of Gu Zhiyun.

However, Gu Qing's actions have gone too far.

Just as she was about to pick up her high heels to go find Gu Qing, Gu Qing arrived at the bedroom door and shouted loudly:

"Auntie, what time is it? I'm starving! Why haven't you cooked yet!"

Shen Jingyan glanced at the clock; it was only 6:30.

Discussion group 563743675

At this time, Gu Zhiyun, Fang Ru, and Gu Huaiqian have not yet returned.

"I want to eat beef and shrimp. Auntie, the shrimp you bought last time were too small. Five shrimp could easily fit in one bite. Could you buy some bigger ones today?"

Gu Qing was making her requests about dinner when Shen Jingyan threw her badly damaged high heels at her feet.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment.

Shen Jingyan's face was as cold as an Antarctic iceberg, without a trace of a smile.

Gu Qing couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Why do I feel a chill running straight to the top of my head?

"What—what do you mean?"

Chen Jingyan raised an eyebrow, her tone sharp, and said, "What do you mean? Explain why my shoes are like this?"

Gu Qing's eyes darted around, and she took two small steps back, as if she felt that if she got further away from the shoes, she could become a suspect.

“No one in our family, except you, would be so inconsiderate.”

Gu Qing was not happy to hear this. She muttered with a dark face, "It's just a pair of shoes! I only wore them for a little while. Who knew these shoes were of such poor quality? The heel broke after I walked just a few steps!"

In the past, when educating Gu Qing, Shen Jingyan would always give her some face and always wear a gentle smile. But today, she had to let Gu Qing know where her bottom line was.

"Qingqing, you're fifteen, not five. Your IQ should be at a normal level, right? Don't you know that you should wear shoes the size of your feet? Your size 40 feet are squeezing into my size 36 heels. How can you even walk in them? Besides, those thin heels have to support your weight of over 150 pounds. I feel sorry for my shoes! It's no wonder the heels are going to break!"

"A chubby foot in her forties" and "weighing over 150 pounds"—these words hit the sore spots that Gu Qing least wanted to hear.

"What's so great about it! So what if I wore out a pair of your shoes? You're so rich, yet you're so stingy!"

Gu Qing started yelling and shouting, her eyebrows furrowed in anger.

Do you know how much these shoes cost?

Shen Jingyan raised her voice slightly, and with her sharp expression, she immediately suppressed Gu Qing's arrogant attitude.

"One hundred yuan! You make it sound so easy. Can you earn one hundred yuan to compensate me? I have money, but I earned it myself. Just because I have money doesn't mean you can waste things like that."

"You dare hit me, you filthy bitch!"

Just then, Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian came home from get off work, and the harsh and vicious curse clearly reached their ears.

Immediately following was a loud slap.

Gu Qing was beaten until she screamed and howled, spewing out all sorts of swear words.

Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian rushed into the room, trying to separate the two.

"Mom and Dad, I have to teach her a lesson today, so don't stop me!"

Angered, Chen Jingyan's eyes were sharp, like a newly sharpened knife.

Fang Ru saw the large bruises on Shen Jingyan's forehead and the corner of his mouth, and the broken shoe lying in the corner, and she understood what had happened.

"Qingqing, how could you hit your aunt? She's your elder!"

She couldn't bear to hear such vile insults as "stinking bitch," "vixen," and "little slut" coming from her scholarly family.

Her daughter-in-law was especially criticized!

"Seventh Grandma, you're not taking my side! She hit me and cursed at me! I hate her! She's a stinky—ahhhhhh!"

Gu Qing couldn't utter her curses before Shen Jingyan pinched her arm hard.

"Jingya, let go first. Hitting someone won't solve the problem. Let's treat the wound first!"

Fang Ru offered some words of advice.

Shen Jingyan knew that Fang Ru was in a difficult position and could not continue to side with her, but she did not want to let Gu Qing off the hook so easily.

"Mom, hitting her won't solve the problem, but it will teach her a lesson!"

As she spoke, she kicked Gu Qing's buttocks a few more times.

Gu Qing's crying grew louder.

Just then, Gu Zhiyun returned. Hearing the noise from the bedroom, he quickly went inside.

"Jingya, what's wrong with you!?"

The first thing he saw was the wound on his young wife's face.
