Chapter 4 I Hit My Own Woman (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xu Yuanlong hesitated about whether to divorce Wang Jing. After all, she was pretty and took good care of him, keeping his clothes and housework clean.
Wang Xiuzhi promised to find him a better wife, but looking around the surrounding villages, who could compare to Wang Jing from the city?
Before yesterday, Xu Yuanlong thought Wang Jing would die in the cowshed, so he didn't think much of it. But now, Wang Jing is standing in front of him again, still so beautiful, and he feels a little reluctant to let her go.
Unexpectedly, while he was hesitating, Wang Jing suddenly said she wanted to break up with him completely.
Xu Yuanlong, always a chauvinist, was enraged by these words. He pointed at Wang Jing and angrily said, "What right do you have to bring up breaking up with me first? Is it because I haven't beaten you lately that you're itching for a beating?"
Xu Yuanlong's finger was forcefully pried back by Shen Jiang, and with a crisp 'crack', his finger was broken.
Shen Jiang shielded Wang Jing and her daughter Xu Qingmo behind him.
His upright and indomitable image was deeply imprinted in Wang Jing's eyes.
Xu Qingmo saw all of this and, comparing the two, concluded that Shen Jiang was more suitable to be the original owner's father.
Xu Yuanlong is an absolute scumbag.
Shen Jiang angrily rebuked, "Men who hit women should be criticized and given ideological education."
Xu Yuanlong was used to beating people. No one had ever spoken to him like that before. Every married man in the village was beaten.
Adding to his anger was his broken finger. "What business is it of yours if I hit my own woman? Don't think that just because you're wearing a military uniform you can interfere in my family affairs. Get out, you're not welcome here!"
Xu Yuanlong raised his voice and shooed Shen Jiang out of the door.
Xu Yuanyuan stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "Big brother, please speak softly, it's not good to scare people."
Xu Yuanlong realized something: Xu Yuanyuan had developed feelings for Wang Jing's lover.
Wang Jing was too lazy to waste any more words with the Xu family and stated her thoughts directly, "We don't have a marriage certificate, nor do we need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate. I'm here today to tell you that I have absolutely no relation to your Xu family from today onwards."
Xu Yuanlong lost his temper. The more Wang Jing didn't want to have anything to do with this family, the more he insisted on keeping her here.
He remembered that Wang Jing had said some nonsense in her sleep, saying that she already had someone she liked. If he was right, it should be the man in front of him who was protecting her in every way.
Wang Jing continued, "I will ask the village chief for a certificate to completely sever ties with your Xu family."
Wang Xiuzhi was figuring out how to get the twelve yuan back when she heard Wang Jing mention the certificate, and an idea came to her.
“It’s not impossible for you to sever ties with our family, but you have to give our Yuanlong a hundred yuan as compensation. He’s worked so hard taking care of you and your daughter these past few years, he can’t have done all that for nothing.” Wang Xiuzhi became increasingly bold, taking advantage of the fact that they were in her own home.
Wang Jing had all her money swindled away by Wang Xiuzhi, and the nine yuan and thirty cents left in her pocket was taken by Xu Qingmo from Wang Xiuzhi.
Xu Qingmo looked at Wang Xiuzhi and asked, "Are you sure you want a hundred yuan?"
Her tone was calm and her voice was soft and gentle; to outsiders, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, having witnessed firsthand how terrifying Xu Qingmo was, Wang Xiuzhi didn't rush to answer. Instead, she first checked if her hands were on fire.
Wang Xiuzhi's body wasn't on fire, and her heart gradually calmed down, and she became bolder.
“Of course, Wang Jing and you have been eating, drinking and living in our house for free all these years, and my son Yuanlong has even helped take care of us. Asking for only one hundred is already more than enough. Once we take the money, we are willing to immediately sever ties with you.” Wang Xiuzhi raised her chin, her arrogance evident.
Over the past few years, Wang Jing has consistently been able to produce various valuable items, and she firmly believes that the other party still possesses something of great value.
This hundred yuan was no problem for Wang Jing.
Wang Xiuzhi was afraid that what happened last night would happen again, so she wanted to settle the matter with money and not keep Xu Qingmo and Wang Jing in the house.
Xu Qingmo glanced towards the kitchen and reminded her, "Is there something burning in your pot? I smell something burning."
At that moment, a burning piece of wood fell out of the boiler and ignited all the firewood in the kitchen.
Before long, the entire kitchen caught fire.
Wang Xiuzhi looked at the house that had suddenly burst into flames, and was both anxious and panicked. "Good heavens! How did the kitchen catch fire? What are you all looking at? Come and help put out the fire..."
The crowd gathered at the door dispersed in a panic. Wang Xiuzhi was usually stingy and unpopular, and everyone wanted to see her family make a fool of themselves.
Well, here comes the opportunity.
They all covered their mouths and left laughing.
The news spread like wildfire that Wang Xiuzhi's family had suffered a great misfortune.
Wang Xiuzhi asked Xu Yuanlong and Xu Yuanyuan to fetch water to put out the fire, while Xu Qingmo called Wang Jing into the main room.
Xu Qingmo could sense where things related to Wang Jing were placed. Wang Xiuzhi hid all the grain coupons, money, and gold and silver jewelry that she had swindled under her bed.
Others were hidden under Xu Yuanyuan's bed.
Xu Qingmo easily found all these things and had Wang Jing put them away.
Wang Jing closed her eyes, and with a thought, all those things were taken back into her spatial storage.
The mother and daughter walked out of the main room. Wang Xiuzhi looked up and saw them, and immediately stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Did you go into my room to steal something? I have to check."
The fire in the kitchen wasn't big, and Xu Yuanlong extinguished it with several buckets of water.
Xu Qingmo, her small body blocking Wang Xiuzhi's way, looked displeased. "Which eye of yours saw us stealing? Move aside, even a good dog knows not to block the way."
Wang Xiuzhi gave Xu Yuanyuan a look, signaling her to go find Xu Hai.
Xu Yuanyuan understood immediately and went next door to call Xu Hai over. Xu Hai's wife, Zhou Qinqin, also came with her.
Wang Xiuzhi asked Xu Yuanlong to keep an eye on the mother and daughter. She went to her room and pulled out a box from under the bed. She found it empty and her heart sank.
"Damn you, you wicked thing! What a misfortune for our family! All the things I've saved up through hard work and frugality for most of my life have been stolen by this heartless mother and daughter!" Wang Xiuzhi cried as she ran out of the main room and grabbed Wang Jing, trying to search her.
Xu Qingmo pushed Wang Xiuzhi to the ground, saying, "Don't... she laid a hand on me."
Xu Hai and Zhou Qinqin arrived just in time to see Wang Xiuzhi being pushed to the ground by five-year-old Xu Qingmo.
The two were stunned and stood there, thinking they had seen wrong. They rubbed their eyes and looked again, only to see Wang Xiuzhi sitting up, shouting that she wanted to ask the village chief to come and uphold justice.
After all, her second son, Xu Hai, was married to the village chief's cousin's daughter, and if this matter caused a stir, the village chief would definitely side with her.
The villagers, always eager for gossip, once again gathered around Xu Yuanlong's house to watch, and someone had already gone to invite the village chief.
A hint of panic flickered in Wang Jing's eyes. Shen Jiang, standing not far away, comforted her, "Don't be afraid, justice will prevail."
Xu Qingmo: "Don't panic, I'm here for you."
