Seeing that her son's arm had almost been cut off by that brat Wang Xiaojiang, Old Lady Huang looked at Wang Xiaojiang with vicious eyes and spoke angrily.
“Village chief, you saw it too. These two outsiders are bullying the people of Zhushan Village like this. They came to the Huang family and started attacking without saying a word. This brat not only pushed me down, causing me to break my head, but he also slashed Dachuan with a knife. You have to stand up for us…”
"You're talking nonsense! You're the old hag, the villain of your whole family! You bullied and beat my sister first, that's why I did it..."
"Pah! You little brat, how dare you talk back? Your sister is my Huang family's daughter-in-law. As her mother, I can beat her however I want. As long as she doesn't want to be divorced, she'll have to put up with it..."
"Then you deserve it, you deserve to be killed..."
Upon hearing Wang Xiaojiang's words, Old Lady Huang cursed, "You wretched brat, I think you're tired of living..." and raised her hand to slap Wang Xiaojiang across the face.
Han Yiyi, standing in the crowd, was furious when she saw this scene and heard Old Lady Huang's nonsense. Just as she was about to step forward, Aunt Zhang grabbed her arm and whispered something in her ear.
"Don't worry, the village chief will step in..."
Seeing this, Nangong Yuan, who was standing behind Han Yiyi, also darkened his eyes. He had already prepared the pebble in his hand. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a despicable person. He really regretted that he hadn't used more force when he hit her leg earlier, so as to cripple her leg.
Aunt Zhang was right. Seeing Old Lady Huang's actions, the village chief's eyes darkened, and he was about to speak to stop her. However, before he could utter a word, Old Lady Huang's raised hand was grasped by a slender hand.
That hand, with its slender wrist that seemed as if it would break with the slightest bend, held Old Lady Huang's hand with surprising strength.
When Old Lady Huang saw that Wang Yan'er had grabbed her hand, her eyes blazed with anger.
"You little whore, how dare you stop me..." After trying to pull his hand away several times, he realized he couldn't get it out, so he raised his other hand to slap Wang Yan'er's face. But before he could even raise his hand, he fell backward and landed on his buttocks, howling and grimacing.
It turned out that Wang Yan'er, who was holding her wrist, used her strength to push her. Seeing her howling on the ground, Wang Yan'er's eyes were blank. She turned around and knelt down in front of the village chief and said.
"Uncle Chen, please be my witness today. I want to divorce Huang Dachuan..." Her voice was weak but firm.
She didn't have the courage to get a divorce in the past because she was worried that it would make her mother worry, and she was also worried that her status as a divorced woman would affect her younger brother's future marriage prospects. Her family was already poor, and having a divorced older sister would make it even harder to find a husband for her.
But looking into her brother's eyes and hearing what he had just said, she knew that if she didn't get a divorce today, her brother might do something irreversible for her in the future.
Hearing Wang Yan'er's words, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "If I stay in a family like that any longer, I'm afraid I won't even survive."
Before he could even speak, he heard Old Lady Huang's howling voice ring out again.
"Pah! You little slut, you dare to mention divorce? You can't even lay an egg, you little whore, you have the nerve to mention divorce? You'll only be abandoned by my Huang family..."
"Shut up……".
The village chief's wife was thoroughly disgusted by Old Woman Huang's constant wailing of "little whore" and "slut," so she couldn't help but speak up before her husband could even say anything.
"Doctor Shi hasn't left yet. Why don't you ask why Yan'er's health has deteriorated to this extent? Besides, she just gave birth to a granddaughter for your Huang family not long ago. She caught a cold, but you wouldn't treat her, and you let her die. Now you're saying such things. I think you've really lost your conscience..."
Seeing his wife's indignant expression, the village chief felt helpless but did not stop her from speaking.
Because the speaker was the village chief's wife, Old Lady Huang didn't dare to retort, but she still spoke in a low voice.
"It's her own fault for not being able to take care of herself, how can she blame anyone else? Besides, she gave birth to such a worthless child, what's there to see? It's just a waste of money..."
Upon hearing Old Woman Huang's words, Han Yi felt an urge to kill for the first time. At that moment, she felt that Old Woman Huang was even more vicious than that old hag Fan.
When the village chief's wife heard what Old Lady Huang said, she really felt that this man was beyond saving. So she immediately gave her husband, the village chief, a wink, meaning that Wang Yan'er should quickly divorce Huang Dachuan and stay far away from this family of monsters.
When the village chief received a look from his wife, his eyes, besides showing helplessness, also contained a hint of doting.
The village chief looked at Wang Yan'er, who was weak but had a determined look in her eyes, and asked.
"You've made up your mind..."
“Hmm…” Wang Yan’er nodded emphatically, and Wang Xiaojiang, who was next to her, also knelt down in front of the village chief and echoed her.
"Please, Uncle Village Chief, help my sister. If she stays in this house any longer, she will surely be bullied to death by this family of bad people..."
"Pah! There's no way I'll divorce you. If you want to leave the Huang family, you can only be divorced. And my arm was cut like this by your little bastard brother. I'll definitely send him to jail..."
“Yes, my son is right. My son’s arm was slashed by her brother, and my head was also pushed by her brother. He still wants a divorce? No way! Not only that, if he doesn’t come up with twenty taels of silver as compensation, we’ll send this little bastard to the yamen. He injured someone with a knife, so he’ll be thrown in jail…”
Upon hearing that her younger brother was to be sent to prison, Wang Yan'er's face paled even more, and her eyes, as she looked up at the village chief, were filled with pleading for help.
Upon hearing the mother and son's words, the village chief also showed a troubled expression. Regardless of the reason, it was a fact that Wang Xiaojiang had injured someone with a knife.
At this moment, Shi Langzhong, who had been treating the Queen Mother on the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Oh dear, this woman has fallen quite hard. I need to go back and get my ginseng slices, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to save her..."
Upon hearing what Shi Langzhong said, Wang Xiaojiang and Wang Yan'er quickly got up and ran over. At this moment, the village chief, upon hearing what Shi Langzhong said, had a flicker in his eyes and spoke.
“It was you, Da Chuan, who pushed down the Queen Mother. Since that’s the case, you two should go to the yamen together. You can accuse him of assault, and he can accuse you of murder…”
