"Look at this! Zhiyu and I are covered in bruises from being whipped by her! Those red marks are still on our bodies!"
After Zhu Xiuqin finished speaking, she lifted her clothes, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the mottled and crisscrossing scars on her arms and shoulders.
Then, she suddenly grabbed Shen Zhiyu, whose face was deathly pale, and roughly rolled up his sleeves and lifted the back of his shirt.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Daqiang frowned slightly, and his voice deepened.
Actually, he had just met his new wife, Su Qingzhi, a couple of days ago and had a good impression of her.
The girl was pretty and spoke softly.
After a moment's thought, Liu Daqiang decisively waved his hand and loudly ordered, "Go! Invite Shen Cunpu and his wife to come for a face-to-face confrontation immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately turned around and set off to call for help.
In no time at all, they brought the person over.
Shen Cunpu was seen walking unsteadily, his face was pale, and his back was slightly hunched.
But today he was actually wearing a Zhongshan suit, neatly and properly.
Although he was a bit weak, he was still holding on mentally.
Su Qingzhi changed into a blue floral print shirt.
Sunlight filtered through the thin mist and fell on her shoulders.
As she approached the crowd, her eyes swept over Zhu Xiuqin's pretentious expression, and she immediately understood.
This woman is planning to turn the tables on me!
Although I took action yesterday, it probably wasn't enough to make her completely submit.
Looks like yesterday's beating wasn't enough!
Su Qingzhi's lips curled into a cold smile, but she didn't show it on her face.
Instead, she looked completely bewildered and pitiful as she walked into the crowd.
She raised her bright eyes and turned to look at the village chief.
"Village chief, what brings you here?"
"Um."
Village chief Liu Daqiang nodded, his expression complex.
"Your mother-in-law said you hit her and Shen Zhiyu yesterday?"
He spoke with a somewhat hesitant tone, and in his heart he was still doubtful.
How could someone dare to hit a new bride with such delicate skin?
Especially those mothers-in-law and brothers-in-law with bad reputations, difficult and domineering nature?
"village head……"
Su Qingzhi blinked her long eyelashes slowly, tears already welling up in her eyes.
Her voice was soft and sad.
"I...I..."
She was filled with grievances but didn't know where to begin.
But this scene almost made Zhu Xiuqin, who was standing next to her, vomit blood.
She clenched her fists, silently snarling with hatred in her heart.
"That little bitch, what are you pretending to be innocent and pitiful for!"
Su Qingzhi seemed to have noticed the other person's gaze long ago and quickly shrank behind her husband, Shen Cunpu.
She then cautiously peeked out with half her face.
"Village chief, look how thin I am! I could be blown away by a gust of wind. How could I possibly have the energy to beat up my mother-in-law and brother-in-law?"
"It's you..."
The younger brother-in-law, Shen Zhiyu, finally couldn't help but criticize Su Qingzhi.
However, as soon as he began to speak, he met Su Qingzhi's gaze.
His eyes conveyed a warning and a threat.
Shen Zhiyu suddenly felt as if his wrist had been slapped again, and a burning pain shot through him.
He instinctively shrank his arm and turned his head away guiltily.
He dared not meet Su Qingzhi's gaze again, and swallowed back the accusations that were on his lips.
This person...
This woman is crazier than a madwoman!
He inwardly groaned in despair.
It looks delicate and harmless, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
But when it comes to actually fighting, they are more ruthless than anyone else!
If we keep arguing, we'll only embarrass ourselves.
With so many onlookers, the village chief was losing face.
Fortunately, Liu Yuelan wasn't there.
Otherwise, if this gets back to her, I'll lose face even more.
Su Qingzhi nodded in satisfaction, a slight smile playing on her lips, before slowly withdrawing her gaze.
It seems that Aunt Zhang does have some self-awareness.
She gently wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.
Her already watery eyes were red, and she looked pitiful as she choked out, "Village chief, I really didn't start what happened yesterday. You know, my mother-in-law meant well and asked me to go to the market to buy new clothes for Cunpu."
She paused, then added in a tearful voice.
"This was arranged by Aunt Zhang herself, and the aunties next door all saw it with their own eyes."
"We had just bought those clothes when my second brother suddenly became upset. He stormed over, grabbed the clothes without asking a single question, and wouldn't listen to our explanation at all!"
"As you know, my second brother is usually very strong, and this time he pushed Cunpu to the ground..."
"Then he actually started punching and beating Cunpu, without any restraint. Cunpu was beaten so badly that he vomited blood!"
"My mother-in-law couldn't stand it and tried to intervene, but my second brother got angry and didn't even recognize her, and started hitting her!"
"I was so scared at the time, my mind went blank, my legs went weak, and I couldn't even stand up... I could only stand there and cry..."
"How could I dare to confront them? Even if I had that thought, I'm no match for my second brother! Village chief, please do me justice! Please seek justice for me and Cunpu!"
When it comes to acting, Su Qingzhi has never been afraid of anyone.
She not only spoke eloquently, but even her eye contact and tone of voice were perfectly controlled.
She clearly stated the facts on the spot.
Despite being the perpetrator, she cried like a pitiful little victim who had suffered all sorts of injustice.
Her already delicate and charming face appeared even more fragile and helpless at this moment.
With her thin and frail figure, she looked exactly like a wronged and aggrieved young wife.
The surrounding villagers all gathered around, whispering and gossiping among themselves.
Discussions continued, and many people began to sympathize with Su Qingzhi.
"Yes, this new bride has only just entered the family. How could she possibly have the guts to hit her mother-in-law and brother-in-law? It's too abnormal."
"And I know about the clothes purchase. Aunt Zhang did take out some money. Twenty yuan, in paper bills. I was there at the time. She was probably just trying to make trouble because she was worried about the money."
"Where can you find such a sensible and filial daughter-in-law? The Zhang family has probably made a mistake this time. Aunt Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. You can't bully their child."
...
The villagers were talking all at once.
A series of harsh words reached Zhu Xiuqin's ears.
She was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode; her chest heaved violently, and she could barely breathe.
Her fingers trembled slightly with rage, her eyes blazing with fury as she pointed at Su Qingzhi's face. Finally, overcome with rage, she burst out, "You little bitch! What nonsense are you spouting? It was clearly you—"
"Shut up!"
Just as she was halfway through her sentence, a dignified voice suddenly rang out.
