Chen Yifei had a cold face.
"You bullied someone you shouldn't have today, so I'm here to take you down."
"Next time, I'll take you straight to the underworld."
He said this in a deliberately low voice, unlike Chen Yifei's usual voice.
Zheng Fang kept crying, trying to lift the sack.
Surprisingly, there were no burlap sacks at all!
Aside from being covered in injuries, there was nothing around!
Zheng Fang was terrified. Could it be that she had encountered a ghost?
The person who shouldn't be bullied, is it because she bullied He Runqing today?
But Zheng Fang was also a victim! She didn't get away with it either; she was even beaten by He Runqing.
Zheng Fang was heartbroken!
Why do I have to encounter something like this at night?
This is terrible.
No one dared to go to the health center to find Wang Jianshe. When Zheng Fang got home, she cried and told her parents about the strange incident.
While applying medicine to Zheng Fang's body, her mother said, "You mean, you were beaten with a sack over your head, but in the end, there was no sack at all?"
"Yes, but I'm covered in wounds."
People their age naturally believe in these things. And then Zheng Fang said that.
Her mother said, "I think we should take a closer look."
"You might not even have anyone around you at all, and you did it yourself. You're acting like you're possessed."
"If it doesn't work tomorrow, find Aunt Liu, who treats widows, and ask her to take a look at you."
“Okay…” Zheng Fang trembled, hugging her mother with tears in her eyes. “I bullied He Runqing. Should I go and apologize to He Runqing?”
"I'm so scared right now. I feel like I'm going to get beaten to death if I go out. Waaah... Mom, I'm really miserable."
"When will we be able to live a peaceful life?"
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng felt sorry for each other, but what could they do now? Everyone was afraid of getting entangled in all sorts of messy situations.
"Go apologize tomorrow. Chen Yifei just wanted to live a peaceful life, but you insisted on interfering. Even ghosts and monsters can't stand it anymore and are coming to take you away."
"Sixth Aunt also came over to see what happened, and then we'll decide whether or not to apologize."
“Okay.” Zheng Fang nodded.
——
The next morning, Chen Yifei got up and took his wife out of bed. The two of them washed their faces with soap, and He Runqing even applied face cream to him.
"Chen Yifei, Chen Yifei~" She was so well-behaved this morning, "When can I watch the show today!"
Chen Yifei smiled and said, "I set up the stage last night, so we'll just wait. I guess it won't be long before you educated youth start working."
"Come on, let's just eat our food in peace."
The family sat together, and Zhang Cuizhi asked curiously, "Where are my goose eggs? And where did the brown sugar that I was going to give to your older sister, which I brought back, go?"
Chen Shuang has been at home these past few days, and she has just prepared a table full of breakfast.
He laughed and said, "It's okay, Mom, don't worry about it so much. I'll buy more later."
These kinds of things are usually lost by Chen Yifei.
This time is no exception.
Chen Yifei chuckled and said, "I took it. It's useful. I gave it away."
Zhang Cuizhi sighed, "I'm so afraid that you'll start spending money recklessly again, just like before. Your older sisters always let you have your way. Now Qingqing seems to be very easy to talk to."
He Runqing feigned a fierce look and said to Chen Yifei, "I'm very fierce!"
With her fair and tender little face revealing her adorable little tiger teeth, she even imitated a little tiger's "roar" twice.
The family couldn't help but laugh.
This place is starting to feel more and more like home; everyone's making a ruckus, it's so fun.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Old Chen's family! Come out and see what's going on. Aunt Liu is performing a shamanistic ritual over in the square!"
"They say it's Old Zheng's daughter who's been involved in some strange incident."
Chen Yifei turned his head and raised an eyebrow at his wife, He Runqing, who covered her mouth and laughed.
He's always been like this—a man of his word, and he's always been very funny and interesting.
The meeting place for the workers happened to be in the square.
So Chen Jianguo and the others went together.
The whole family stood together neatly, and then Aunt Liu, who was performing the shamanic ritual, suddenly knelt down and worshipped the heavens:
"Someone come quick! Get rid of Zheng Fang's bad luck, get rid of it!"
"Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person!"
"..."
After shouting twice, the people around Zheng Fang, who was covered in bruises, wondered if they should continue hitting her.
What will it be like then?!
No one around dared to make a move rashly.
Before Chen Yifei even got there, Aunt Liu started splashing water on him, yelling, "Go help! Go quickly! The young man is handsome and dashing..."
He was muttering something that no one could understand.
Then Chen Yifei became blunt and said helplessly, "Since you've invited me here, there's no reason not to make a move."
He ran over and started punching and kicking Zheng Fang without showing her any mercy.
Zheng Fang even got a new pair of glasses when she came back this time.
These glasses are expensive these days; I think they're from Hengdeli. Chen Yifei could tell at a glance that he wasn't nearsighted, but he just copied others and got a pair to wear.
He casually punched the glasses, shattering them and sending them flying a great distance.
She hit her daughter-in-law's watch, so what if her glasses are broken?
Finally, Zheng Fang couldn't hold back any longer.
He yelled, "That's enough! Can you please stop hitting me with your hands?!"
"Please..."
She was crying uncontrollably, but she was too terrified by what happened last night to say anything, and could only offer weak suggestions.
