The crisp sound silenced the auntie who had been working nearby, the young men, and Liu Yinyin.
Aunties: ·0·
Young and middle-aged men: ·0·
Everyone watched this scene in silence, feeling utterly insane.
Jiang Ci actually slapped Liu Yinyin.
Although the two of them did have a long-standing feud, it's important to know that Jiang Ci never took advantage of Liu Yinyin after getting married.
It's been almost four years! Jiangci has always been the one being suppressed.
The women and young men of Shanding Brigade were shocked to see Liu Yinyin being beaten by Jiang Ci, and their mouths dropped open in disbelief.
Liu Yinyin's cheek was burning with pain, so she turned her head to the other side.
The sudden movement stirred up mud and water, which smeared on her lips, cheeks, nose, eyebrows, forehead, and even her pretty wispy hair.
Liu Yinyin's eyes were filled with disbelief. She straightened her head, and her almond-shaped eyes widened to the point of almost bulging out. She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "Jiang Ci!"
Jiang Ci smiled slightly, "Crisp, isn't it? A loud sound proves it's a good face."
"You dare hit me?" Liu Yinyin broke down instantly, unable to maintain her usual sweet and beautiful demeanor. Her gaze towards Jiang Ci was now filled with hatred and hostility.
"Do you remember what I told you? If you don't discipline your son properly, there will be plenty of others to do it for you later." Jiang Ci casually flicked the mud off her hands. "Your mother doesn't discipline you properly, so I'm doing it for her. The reason I don't let you call me 'Mom' is because I don't want to acknowledge such an unfilial daughter as you."
Jiang Ci looked at him with an expression that said, "You've received such a good education, you should thank me."
Liu Yinyin was absolutely furious. "How I use things is none of your business! Don't use these fallacies to justify your arbitrary beatings! This isn't the feudal society of the past, where you could beat people on your own whim and then have no grounds for complaint?"
Jiang Ci looked at her with great surprise, and said in a tone that made people angry and want to hit her, "Look at what you're saying. I thought you were the kind of person who could take a joke like this. What? You're allowed to talk nonsense, but you're not allowed to be slapped to teach your foul mouth a lesson?"
"Don't accuse me of such a serious crime, or if the 'red armbands' come, I'll really have a word with them about how you, Liu Yinyin, are promoting old ideas."
Hurting each other? Is she afraid of Liu Yinyin?
Having witnessed the biodiversity of the world, how could Jiang Ci possibly be afraid of Liu Yinyin?
That's hilarious!
Liu Yinyin was no match for Jiang Ci's eloquence. She secretly resented Jiang Ci for suddenly becoming so glib. She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes. Her snow-white chin trembled slightly, and her petite figure looked particularly pitiful.
Liu Yinyin: "Did I say something wrong? Was it that Widow Wang shouted that night that Zhou Lao Er raped her?"
Liu Yinyin: "Jiang Zhiqing, you want to protect Zhou Lao Er by beating me to scare others, and you want to shut up your mouth arbitrarily, but everyone has eyes and ears. They can see and hear. Your scheme will definitely not succeed."
"That's right, Jiang Zhiqing, you think you're right to hit someone? Widow Wang shouted that Zhou Lao Er raped her that day, that's an indisputable fact, how can you bully the weak?"
"You're the one who should be in jail! You hit people all the time! You're a real scoundrel!"
"That's right! Why didn't the captain arrest your whole family? They're all no good!"
As expected of the female lead, her ability to stir up trouble, shift the topic, and ignite public enthusiasm is truly remarkable.
With just a few words, she stirred up the surrounding young men and women who were watching the commotion, and they all looked at Jiang Ci with condemnation and resentment.
But then she let out a soft scoff.
She was still laughing!
The gazes directed at her grew increasingly hostile.
Jiang Ci said unhurriedly, "Liu Yinyin, you don't think I hit you because of Widow Wang's ambiguous claim that 'Zhou Lao Er raped me,' do you?"
Liu Yinyin's face tightened, and she suddenly realized something was wrong, but Jiang Ci did not let her off the hook.
"Liu Yinyin, who doesn't know that you are the most righteous, innocent and pure among the educated youth sent to the countryside? But what did you just say? You came here and said that my husband Zhou Mingli and Widow Wang were having an affair and were having illicit relations."
"You say my husband Zhou Mingli is sleeping with Widow Wang and having an affair, but do you have any evidence? Did you see them having an affair with your own eyes? Or did you hide under Widow Wang's bed and under my bed and overhear them having an affair?"
Jiang Ci's tone gradually turned cold and serious. She didn't shout or curse, but spoke clearly and explained the whole story in detail.
“From beginning to end, I never said that I hit you because of what Widow Wang said. The police will investigate what Widow Wang’s purpose was in framing Zhou Mingli. I hit you because you couldn’t produce any evidence and yet you slandered my man for having an affair with a martyr’s widow. I told you to watch your mouth.”
"It's your business who you want to pin on, but to slander my man for having affairs, ha..." Jiang Ci sneered, "I'm not afraid of you even if you take this to the brigade leader."
After listening to Jiang Ci's words, the middle-aged women and young adults suddenly realized that Jiang Ci was right.
As soon as Liu Yinyin arrived, she started making wild guesses that Zhou Lao Er and Widow Wang were having an affair. If you had real evidence, we would definitely believe you, but you have no proof. Isn't this slander?
Having illicit relationships is a serious crime, so you can't just say that!
"You can't just hit people like that!" a young man cried out, feeling sorry for Liu Yinyin's frail appearance.
Jiang Ci continued to sneer, "Fine, then Liu Yinyin said you and your neighbor's wife go into the woods at night. If your wife can tolerate it, then go ahead and do it."
The young man blushed with rage after being confronted by Jiang Ci.
His wife was in another group of seedlings not far away, and she looked at the young and strong men with hostility.
The other young men were also being watched by their wives, and fearing that the fire would spread to them, they hurriedly said, "It's also Liu Yinyin's fault. If you're going to gossip, just gossip. Why did you make up stories without any evidence?"
“That’s right, Liu Zhiqing, even if you have a grudge against Jiang Zhiqing, you can’t slander her.”
“Liu Zhiqing, you were really in the wrong in this matter.”
Liu Yinyin's face turned pale and then red.
Jiang Ci looked at her coldly, "Liu Yinyin, you should be glad I'm not Chunhua, otherwise, with your ability to make up lies, your face wouldn't have been so easily forgiven with just one slap."
Liu Yinyin was breathing rapidly. She stared at Jiang Ci, stammering for a long time before crying, "I never said that. You're the one slandering me."
Jiang Ci chuckled, "What did I accuse you of? Did I accuse you of saying my man was having an affair with Widow Wang?"
Liu Yinyin's mentality collapsed again. Before Jiang Ci could finish her harsh words, she ran away crying.
