Hey!
I'm not easily scared.
Fang Yan didn't even turn her head once, and walked straight ahead.
Seeing that her threats had no effect, Zhang's wife secretly encouraged herself, closed her eyes, and rushed towards them, spreading her arms to block their path.
"Third brother, you probably don't know yet, do you? Your wife went to a small restaurant in the county town with an old man, and that man even followed her all the way to the village..."
This coward, out of fear of Zhang Jizhou, didn't even dare to open his eyes when he spoke.
Zhang Jizhou's eyes suddenly sharpened. "Do you know what crime it is to defame a military wife?"
Feeling the oppressive air pressure around her, Zhang's daughter-in-law had no choice but to open her eyes and look timidly at Zhang Jizhou. "I...I didn't...tell a lie."
She wasn't lying; she just omitted the beginning and the end.
"Yes, you're not lying, but you didn't say that my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, Xiaoyu and Qibei were also eating with that old man. You didn't say that the old man came all the way to the village just to buy my wife's braising sauce recipe."
Zhang Jizhou wasn't angry, but his cool tone was even more frightening.
Zhang's wife thought that no one had mentioned this to Zhang Jizhou, so she thought of using an ambiguous tone to plant the seeds of doubt in Zhang Jizhou's mind and sow discord between him and Fang Yan.
That's why some people are just rotten to the core.
The Zhang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had agreed beforehand that they would first try to extract money from Fang Yan.
If Fang Yan doesn't give it to her, then we'll spare no effort to sow discord between her and Zhang Jizhou.
Anyway, they just don't want her to have a good life.
However, they never expected that someone would talk to Zhang Jizhou about this while he was recovering from his serious injuries!
"If it were a man from the Zhang family standing here right now, I would definitely not let him leave so easily!"
Zhang Jizhou truly loathed the Zhang family.
If he really wanted to make a move, he was certain that Zhang's wife couldn't withstand a single punch or kick from him.
Thinking about how I had just been kicked and rolled around several times, my back, shoulders, and buttocks still hurt.
Zhang's wife often fights with the men in the family, and she knows how much force men use when they hit women.
Moreover, someone like Zhang Jizhou, who does physical training every day, is even stronger than the average man.
Zhang's wife knew very well that Zhang Jizhou had only used about 20-30% of his strength in that kick.
Otherwise, she would definitely be badly injured, instead of being unharmed like she is now.
Now, hearing Zhang Jizhou's words, she understood perfectly that what he meant was—if you dare to slander and curse my wife again, don't blame me for taking action.
If he were to get extremely angry and actually use seventy or eighty percent of his strength, Zhang's wife felt that she might have to spend the rest of her life lying in bed.
"You...you're being heartless and cruel because you're rich! Just you wait, you'll definitely get your comeuppance!"
In the end, Zhang's wife still dared not provoke Zhang Jizhou again.
However, she felt unwilling to leave like that, so she could only resort to her verbal skills.
Even the idiom "the rich are heartless" was something she learned from someone else. She had recited it countless times in private, but when she needed to use it, she almost forgot it and couldn't pronounce it.
As a result, she was glared at coldly by Zhang Jizhou, and she was so frightened that she turned and ran away, not daring to utter another word.
"Is it that woman from Old Zhang's family?"
Just as they reached their doorstep, they ran into Zhang Zongde, who had heard about Zhang's wife blocking Zhang Jizhou and Fang Yan and was rushing to "rescue" them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped outside, I bumped into them. "Is she trying to scam you again?"
This woman has been causing trouble ever since she brought her husband and father-in-law back today.
She first went to the village committee and asked the village chief and others to stand up for her.
This kind of thing...
You don't even know who hit you with a stick, how are you supposed to make decisions?
The woman from the Zhang family blurted out, "It was that man who came looking for the third son's family that day, he must have hit him!"
Zhang Zongde and the village chief immediately turned pale with anger, "Do you have any evidence to prove that he hit you?"
"Anyway... it's him." What evidence did Zhang's wife have?
The village chief was so angry he didn't want to look at her anymore. "If you have evidence, go to the police station and report him. If you don't have evidence, shut your mouth, go home, and don't embarrass yourself in public!"
Zhang's wife was furious. She threw a tantrum, accusing the village officials of not doing anything practical for the people.
Zhang Zongde also got angry, and unusually, he picked up a wooden stick and knocked on the door next to him, "Bang bang bang..."
That finally calmed down Zhang's wife, who was throwing a tantrum.
Then he looked at her coldly, "You keep saying that he beat your husband and father-in-law. There are so many people in the village, and people come and go from the county town every day. How come everyone else is fine, but only your men are in trouble?"
How could Zhang's wife dare to agree to such a thing?
In response, she deliberately spread rumors that the old man was Fang Yan's lover, and this matter had to be brought up.
Doesn't this mean that everything they're suffering now is their own doing?
After crying and fussing for a long time, they realized that this road was impassable.
"She wants the village committee to pay for the men in her family to recover from their injuries and get medical treatment. There's not a single good-for-nothing in this family!"
Zhang Zongde felt a headache coming on whenever he mentioned the Zhang family.
Every village has a few households that are impossible to help, and Gouzi Village is no exception. Old Zhang's family is one of them.
Zhang Jizhou nodded, "It was her. She was probably trying to extort money from Fang Yan, but she probably didn't dare to say anything because she saw me."
"If she dares to ask for anything, no matter how much she wants, throw her out. We won't tolerate this kind of person. She's poor, lazy, and wicked. She's a disgrace."
Zhang Zongde also knew that Zhang Jizhou's profession did not allow him to easily resort to violence, so he specifically told him, "If the Zhang family keeps causing trouble and dares to come looking for you again, just go ahead and do your thing. If someone gets hurt, the village will be your witness."
He also knew that Zhang Jizhou was a reliable person, which was why he dared to make such a promise.
He wouldn't dare do that to anyone else.
"They dare not come again."
Zhang Jizhou said.
Zhang's wife was very afraid of him; as long as he was home, they definitely wouldn't dare to come again.
This time, he can stay at home for the New Year.
After the New Year, I will take my wife and children and leave together to join the army.
Over here, Fang Yan and Zhang Jizhou are tidying up Zhang's wife.
Over there, upon learning that Zhang Jizhou had taken Fang Yan to Lion's Roar Ridge, Zhang Laowu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan...
