Aunt He screamed, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The scumbag father, He Donglai, said, "As expected, you are a heartless beast. You would throw water on your own aunt. What else wouldn't you dare to do?"
It's the off-season for farming in the village now, and as soon as everyone heard that Aunt He, who's like a little chili pepper, had returned, they all rushed over to see what was going on.
He Zifeng, carrying a basin, said casually, "Oh, I didn't see it."
This attitude enraged Aunt He: "I'm right here, a living, breathing person, and you dare say you didn't see it? It was clearly intentional. I didn't believe it when your father told me about you before. Now I've seen it for myself. Daring to hit your father and curse your mother, you'll go to the eighteenth level of hell even after you die." In the countryside, people are superstitious, and if someone says something like that, the person being said it will be considered taboo.
This is not the kind of thing an aunt should say; even an enemy would be more rude than this.
He Zifeng said to Aunt He, "It's not just me who's going to hell. Ask my father what he did, and maybe our family can be reunited in hell. But you, without even knowing the facts, just came out and started accusing me. You'll have your tongue pulled out after you die."
Aunt He could say anything about others, but others couldn't say anything about her. At this moment, she was both anxious and angry: "You've gone too far! You've gone too far! I've only said one sentence, and you're already waiting for me to say ten more!" She was always unreasonable, and seeing He Zifeng's completely indifferent attitude, she rushed over to hit him.
Several women from the village who had come to watch the commotion couldn't stand it anymore. They had always sympathized with He Zifeng and his wife's plight. He Donglai was wealthy and powerful, and giving He Zifeng only ten taels of silver was already considered stingy. Yet, he still complained and sent people to cause trouble. They couldn't bear to see it any longer and came out to stop him. As the crowd grew, someone secretly pinched Aunt He hard where no one could see. Aunt He screamed, "Ah! Who the hell pinched me! You heartless bastard!"
With so many people and so many hands, it's impossible to tell who did it.
"That's their business, it's none of your concern."
"You come to your nephew's house empty-handed, fine, but you come here shouting and threatening to kill him. He's from our village, what right do you have to hit him? The town mayor has already said that He Zifeng has nothing to do with your family anymore."
He Zifeng wasn't afraid of his aunt at all, but he was actually quite touched to be suddenly protected by his sisters-in-law.
He Zifeng said, "Thank you all for your help, sisters-in-law. Although I am no big shot, I will not let anyone step on my head and bully me. I am a reckless person and I don't know my own strength. If you bump into me or hurt me, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."
He Zifeng was the strongest man in the village. Hearing this, He Donglai's face darkened, as if he had remembered something.
Aunt He was surrounded by several people, yelling and screaming incoherently, making quite a scene. Everyone quickly separated them. The women, being numerous, were fine, but Aunt He, whose hair had been pulled and was now disheveled, slumped to the ground, slapping her legs and wailing, "Oh dear, my nephew doesn't treat me like a human being!" She had no shame, throwing a tantrum in front of someone else's doorstep.
He Zifeng said, "Aunt should also look in the mirror and see what you look like with your snot and tears all over your face. Even if you don't care about your reputation, you should at least give your two sons some face, so that you won't be pointed at and unable to hold your head up."
"Hey, isn't that Hongyan? We almost offered her to her family back then. Luckily, her grandma objected. The old folks are always right. Tsk tsk tsk." A plump woman in the crowd, always eager for drama, deliberately spoke loudly.
Everyone was looking at Hongmei. Hongmei had married the third son of Lai Sheng's family in the village. Although life was a bit tough, it was getting better and better.
Embarrassed by the stares of the crowd, Hongmei hurried away, afraid of getting entangled with such a person if she walked too slowly.
He Zifeng's words were truly hurtful, and Aunt He was furious. But Hongmei's actions seemed to confirm his words, her constant avoidance of the topic made Aunt He's lips tremble.
Seeing them so devastated by He Zifeng's few words, Village Chief Xu chimed in, "The town mayor never said you were disrespectful to your elders. You're practically dead." He was still angry about losing his coveted village chief position, and he felt too proud to argue with He Zifeng. Today, he was overjoyed to see his aunt causing a scene. Little did he know, she was just a paper tiger.
Village Chief Xu wanted to criticize He Zifeng from a moral high ground. But as soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Liu said, "Old Xu, this is a family matter. The mayor is against He Zifeng because his parents are not kind enough to divide the family property. Even the mayor can't stand their family's behavior. You're still speaking up for them. No wonder the mayor is angry with you."
Seeing that Liu Zi was still putting on airs as the village chief, Village Chief Xu got a little angry and stormed off with a heavy flick of his sleeve.
Now that their roles have reversed, people aren't going to be polite to him anymore: "Does he really think he's something?"
Now that Liu Zi has become the village chief, he naturally has his own people around him. He said, "That's right, he still thinks he's the village chief. He has no self-awareness at all."
"To have self-awareness and still get dismissed by the town mayor? That's the first case in the whole area, even people in other villages have heard about it."
Village Chief Xu heard all of this, and his anger flared so much that his face turned bright red.
Seeing his in-laws being bullied like this, the scumbag father, He Donglai, angrily shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!" Afraid of angering Village Chief Xu, he quickly followed. If it weren't for Village Chief Xu standing up for him, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Although Village Chief Xu was no longer the village chief, he was still a powerful figure, and he knew many influential people; he couldn't afford to ruin those relationships. At this moment, he couldn't care less about his sister and went over to apologize.
Village Chief Xu never gave him a friendly look, scolding his scumbag father He Donglai like he was scolding his third grandson.
Everyone saw that Aunt He's hair was all messy and she looked no different from a crazy woman. Even He Zifeng said to her, "Aren't you going back with her?" The main person has already left, what's the point of her standing up for others?
Aunt He was furious, but she had no choice but to leave. Before she could even get off, she heard someone in the crowd chuckle: "Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this the little firecracker from the He family? I say, you already have a grandson, and you're still throwing a tantrum at the younger generation. You're still as charming as ever!" It was Aunt Li who spoke.
The story of the two women fighting over a man was a topic of conversation among the older generation in the village, and in the end, Aunt He was defeated and left the village.
Aunt He, seeing that it was her nemesis, said, "Pah! This is my own family matter, what are you doing here? Look at your round face, covered in pockmarks, what, a sesame seed cake? Triangular eyes are one thing, but inverted triangles too. If I looked like you, I wouldn't even have the face to go out." Everyone in the He family was good-looking, and Aunt He was famous far and wide for her beauty back then.
Aunt Li: "What's the use of being so good-looking? People who don't like you will still not like you. There are so many younger people in the village. I'll tell them later the story of how you tried to get close to someone and got chased away with a broom."
Some of the young people around didn't know that part, and they all looked at Aunt He with surprise.
After being told a few words about Aunt He's messy affairs, she was both ashamed and angry, and said, "I'll fight you to the death, you old hag." After saying that, she really acted like a madwoman.
Aunt Li was no match for this madman, so she quickly ran to He Zifeng's backyard.
Seeing that she was scared, Aunt He suddenly became more energetic and chased after her. After all, the two of them were no longer little girls and didn't have that much stamina. Seeing that Aunt Li was running out of energy, Aunt He wanted to slap her nemesis twice, and her eyes flashed with a fierce light as she ran. As a result, she didn't pay attention to her footing, and as she ran past, there was a loud thud. She stepped on the manure pit covered by the straw curtain and fell straight into it.
The cesspool wasn't deep; it just reached up to Aunt He's shoulder.
She struggled to climb out of the latrine.
Then, the villagers who had come to watch the spectacle looked at her with eyes full of fear.
He Zifeng said, "Oh my. My farmyard manure." This is the raw material for burning as firewood. He had asked many people for it, and many people in the village had given it to him, including Aunt Li. He had saved up this half-jar, but Aunt He had completely wasted it.
That was incredibly potent; the taste was absolutely amazing.
Aunt He was completely devastated. All she wanted to do was wash herself; she had never lost so much face in her life. Right now, she just wanted to run to the river!
The villagers who were watching the spectacle couldn't stand it anymore. The stream was where they washed clothes, rinsed rice, and washed vegetables. They didn't care about their fear. Several men took a big tree branch and, to keep her away, herded her into the stream like pigs and cattle.
"Go back to your house and wash up."
"Get out, get out, get out!"
Aunt He didn't care about being angry. This time, she was standing up for her brother. She went to He Donglai's house to wash, and the villagers stopped caring when they heard that.
However, Aunt He scared eight children to tears as she walked along the road.
"Wow... Wow wow..."
"Aaaaaah! A ghost! A stinky ghost is here!"
Every household in the village kept their doors and windows tightly shut. They kept a distance from her, but kept a close eye on her, afraid that she would harm other families in the village.
He was relieved to see her enter He Donglai's house.
Then I heard Xiao Wan's sharp scream.
Xiao Wan couldn't believe that the person covered in excrement was actually her sister-in-law. Too horrified, she fainted. Less than fifteen minutes later, she was awakened by the stench, and then saw the entire yard covered in... well, you know. Xiao Wan's blood rushed to her head, and she fainted again.
"Auntie, did you fall into a cesspool?"
"Don't use this to wipe it, those are my mother's bed sheets!"
"Aaaaaah, stay away from me!"
"vomit……"
Xiao Wan fainted, but she could still vaguely hear those few words from her fourth brother, He Fan, before she lost consciousness completely.
