When Han Yiyi first heard Granny Fan tell her to stop, she thought she had been caught stealing her mushrooms. But after hearing what she said next, she realized that the old hag was trying to cause her trouble.
Of course, Han Yiyi didn't intend to indulge her. She put down the basket in her hand, rolled up her sleeves, and thought that since the two children weren't around and Fan's wife was alone, she was determined to teach this old hag a lesson today.
When Granny Fan got up and limped past Han Yiyi, Han Yiyi finally saw Granny Fan's appearance clearly. Not only was her face bruised and swollen, but a patch of hair on her forehead was also missing. Seeing Granny Fan like this, Han Yiyi burst out laughing.
Because the Fan family had just married a new bride yesterday, and considering the insults Fan's wife had given her earlier, Han Yiyi assumed that the old hag's injuries were from her fight with Ye Cuihua. Therefore, she couldn't help but think to herself, "She really deserves it..."
When Granny Fan saw that Han Yiyi dared to mock her, she became even angrier and raised her hand to slap Han Yiyi.
But as soon as he lifted her hand, Han Yiyi grabbed it and with a forceful pull, Fan's wife fell to the ground. The mountain was covered with loose rocks, and Fan's wife screamed in pain as she was thrown to the ground.
When Fan's wife saw that Han Yiyi not only didn't stand there and let her hit her, but even dared to push her back, she became even more furious. She wanted to get up and tear at Han Yiyi again, but after trying several times, she found that she had twisted her waist and couldn't get up for a while.
Seeing the person looking at her with a mocking expression, Mrs. Fan had no choice but to start cursing again.
"You little whore, how dare you push me! I'll get up and teach you a lesson..."
Han Yiyi listened to Granny Fan cursing at him again, but Han Yiyi was really not good at this kind of shrewish cursing, so he simply pulled a handful of weeds from the ground and stuffed them into her mouth when she opened her mouth again.
"You old hag, your mouth stinks, let me give you a good rinsing..."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Old Mrs. Fan had her mouth stuffed full of weeds, some of which were still covered in mud. She kept spitting them out. Perhaps because she was so angry, she suddenly found the strength and managed to stand up by holding onto a small tree.
Just as the person in front of her was about to regain his balance, Han Yiyi pushed him again, and he fell back down. Sure enough, she heard Granny Fan's screams and insults again.
When Han Yi heard Fan's wife's insults, she was no longer angry. Whenever Fan's wife started cursing again, Han Yi would pluck a handful of grass and stuff it into her mouth. Whenever Fan's wife stood up, Han Yi would push her up with her hand.
After several such incidents, he was already covered in bruises from fighting with Old Lady Huang. Now, with Han Yiyi's antics, he was even more disheveled and afraid that Han Yiyi would stuff more wild grass into his mouth, so he dared not curse anymore.
The commotion caused by the two attracted the attention of the mushroom pickers on the surrounding mountain, who gradually gathered around to see what had happened. Seeing Mrs. Fan's disheveled appearance, someone couldn't help but ask.
“Fan family, what’s wrong with you…”
When Mrs. Fan saw people gathering around and heard someone asking questions, her eyes lit up, and she started wailing again, pointing at Han Yiyi with a wronged expression.
"Everyone, come and help this old woman to judge this! This vicious little whore, because she was divorced by my scholar son, she held a grudge. When I was picking mushrooms and I wasn't paying attention, she pushed me to the ground and cruelly stuffed mud into my mouth..."
But now her face was covered in mud, and her hair was all askew and messy, so no one noticed the grievance on her face.
It was only when mushrooms were mentioned that Granny Fan remembered that she had spent half the morning picking mushrooms. She turned to look at her basket, but there wasn't a single mushroom left; all that remained were a few lonely weeds.
Seeing this, Granny Fan remembered that Han Yiyi had just walked past her basket and she had called out to him. Not far away, Han Yiyi's basket was clearly filled with something. So Granny Fan concluded that Han Yiyi had also stolen her mushrooms, and she spoke up to the people around her.
“This little whore, she not only beat me, but also took all the mushrooms I had painstakingly collected. You be the judge, it's because she's useless and unworthy of my scholar son that she was divorced. Now she treats me like this. It seems she was originally a vicious little whore…”
They were all from the same village, and most of them knew what kind of person Granny Fan was, and they also knew how she had tormented Han Yiyi in the past. Therefore, when they heard her accusations against Han Yiyi, most of them still did not believe it.
However, some people, seeing Granny Fan's disheveled appearance and her face covered in mud, couldn't help but have some doubts. They thought that perhaps she was really resentful because she had been divorced, and coupled with the past mistreatment she had suffered at Granny Fan's hands, she had taken the opportunity to attack her in order to vent her anger.
Han Yiyi also noticed the gazes of those around her. Actually, she didn't care much about what others thought of her, but she didn't want Granny Fan to get her way, so she started sobbing, looked at those around her with a wronged expression, and then whispered.
"Grandma, oh no, Aunt Fan, how could you accuse me like this for no reason? I just wanted to pick some mushrooms to add some vegetables for the two children. When I passed by here, I saw you accidentally fall and get your face all wet, so I thought I'd come over and help you up. But not only are you ungrateful, how could you slander me? Besides, I picked all the mushrooms myself, I didn't take any of yours..."
After Han Yi finished speaking, she wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve, perfectly portraying her aggrieved and bullied appearance.
No sooner had Han Yiyi finished speaking than someone couldn't help but say something to Granny Fan.
“Oh dear, it seems you’ve misunderstood. Han’s daughter saw you fall and wanted to help you up, not push you. Besides, Han’s daughter is gentle and kind; she wouldn’t do such a thing…”
When Han Yi heard someone speak up for her, she looked at Granny Fan, who had been staring at her incredulously ever since she finished speaking, and thought to herself, "Could it be that only you, you old hag, can act? I've watched palace dramas before."
Old Mrs. Fan never expected that Han Yiyi would lie so convincingly. She was so angry that she was a little dizzy. However, there was nothing she could do. After all, no one saw Han Yiyi push her just now. So she quickly pointed to her basket of only a few weeds left and said...
"You have to believe me, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, look at my basket. I spent half the morning picking mushrooms, and now there's not a single one left. This little whore stole them all..."
