"Oh dear, young master, we were blind to your greatness! Please forgive us, we're too kind to hold a grudge!" Guo Er muttered under his breath, his arms folded. He looked like a wronged wife, his previous haughty demeanor completely gone.
Wang Daniu stood in the crowd, completely stunned by Qin Sanniang! He had thought Guo Er was going to cause some trouble again, but it seemed he had bitten off more than he could chew—serves him right! This woman's skills were truly formidable, especially her whip-wielding, which was quite beautiful. However, remembering his past relationship with Guo Er, he mustered his courage and stepped forward to plead for him.
“Madam, Guo Er is indeed a scoundrel, and it’s right for you to hit and scold him! However, he has a blind old mother at home who has no one to take care of her, and although Guo Er has a foul mouth, he’s not beyond redemption. Please forgive him this time, considering that he is a filial son! If he offends you again next time, you can kill or beat him as you please!”
Wang Daniu looked at Qin Sanniang. Although he was somewhat afraid of this fierce woman, he was worried that she might kill him as well. However, no matter what, he and Guo Er were relatives. Guo Er was a good kid when he was young, but later his father passed away and his older brother married a shrew. He had no choice but to go out and make a living, which led him down this path!
This time, it's good to have a tough opponent to challenge, so he won't become arrogant!
A moment of silence...
Just as Wang Daniu was regretting stepping forward, he heard the woman's hearty laughter, "What this brother says makes sense. Even a thug has weaknesses!"
Upon hearing her words, Guo Er felt a chill run down his spine!
You, Wang Daniu, what are you doing here getting involved in this mess?! If I'd known you were so clueless, I should have just torn down your meat stall and ruined your business! Me, a jerk? Me, a scoundrel?? You're the jerk, your whole family is a scoundrel! But then again, that doesn't seem right, they're all one big family!
As expected, Guo Er's premonition was correct. In just a moment, he heard Qin San Niang's sinister voice.
“If you come looking for trouble again, as long as it’s on Willow Street, I’ll make your life miserable! You still have your mother, you can’t just run away!”
What? Not everything on Willow Street is under my jurisdiction. Am I supposed to just quit and come here every day to watch over her stall?! However, when she mentioned her mother, she lost her temper and pleaded in a gentle voice.
"Madam, don't worry. As long as you set up your stall on Willow Street for a day, no matter what happens, you can call out my name, Guo Er. If anyone opposes you, they are opposing me, Guo Er, and I'll break their legs! I guarantee that from now on, you can walk sideways on Willow Street!"
Hearing him say that, Qin Sanniang felt a strange sense of amusement. She had seen the changes in Guo Er's expression earlier, and his attitude softened noticeably when his mother was mentioned. This guy was a filial son! Wang Daniu's words were true!
At least it's not entirely useless!
"Alright, enough of this nonsense! Why would I walk sideways? I'm not a crab!" Qin San Niang scoffed, then gestured for him to come closer.
Guo Er, who hadn't even figured out what a crab was, rushed forward when he saw Qin San Niang calling him, ignoring the pain in his arm!
"Give me your hand!"
"Madam, you've crippled my arm, I can't even reach it now!" Guo Er said pitifully, already regretting his actions to the core! If he had known this woman was so difficult to deal with, he would never have come looking for trouble. It was just a matter of a few copper coins, right? Now look what happened, he's lost an arm, and it'll take a hundred days to recover. His mother will be worried about him now!
"Oh, that's right!" Qin Sanniang touched her nose and stepped forward. Ignoring Guo Er's resistance, she gently twisted and lifted his injured arm. With a crack, Guo Er let out a scream!
"Madam, spare me! I've already apologized, why are you still torturing me? Are you never going to stop?! Did you not check the almanac before you left home?! Are you trying to kill me?!"...
Wang Daniu knew that Qin Sanniang was setting his bones!
"Guo Er, move your arm! This lady is treating your injury! Don't shout like that!" Wang Daniu stepped forward and said, wishing he could cover his cousin's mouth. If he angered her, he'd be in for a world of trouble!
Ignoring Wang Daniu's scolding tone, Guo Er gently moved his arm and, feeling quite good, exclaimed with delight, "Hey, hahaha, I can move it! This arm isn't useless after all! Hahahaha..."
He started laughing and gesturing wildly, his comical appearance truly deserving of the description "crazy"!
Fortunately, Qin San Niang stopped his madness in time, saying, "Now that your arm is healed, get out of here and don't delay our business!"
Guo Er was speechless for a moment, nodding and bowing obsequiously, and led his brothers away in a sorry state!
Before leaving, he gave the eldest child a forced smile.
Seeing how powerful their mother was, Da Wa felt incredibly proud! Even Chun Hua and Liao Hong Ying happily put away the handicrafts they had just put away! As for Luo Huan, he was completely stunned! If he followed Madam Qin, could he learn kung fu and avenge his parents and clansmen?
The onlookers, who had been watching the spectacle, dispersed in twos and threes once the farce was over. Only a few women who wanted to buy gloves and earmuffs quickly gathered around.
They had been thinking of buying it, but seeing some hooligans causing trouble, they were afraid of getting involved, so they stood by and watched from the sidelines. Of course, they were also looking forward to seeing some excitement, since these days there are no cell phones, no televisions, and not even any street performers! All the gossip and chatter from relatives and friends couldn't compare to the excitement of watching a live show!
It's not that people are cold-hearted, it's just that times are tough, and it's good enough to be alive. Being able to watch some excitement is also a kind of fun!
Unexpectedly, not only did Qin San Niang not have her stall smashed by the hooligans, but she also taught those bullies a lesson. Everyone sighed in their hearts, as if they had glimpsed a corner of justice!
In a few days, the story of the mentally challenged woman defending justice and beating the scoundrels to a pulp might circulate on Willow Street!
In short, through this battle, Qin Sanniang has made a name for herself on Willow Street, and no one will dare to cause trouble easily! Unless they don't want to lose their arms!
Young women and married women alike, especially those wanting to buy ear warmers, disregarded all inhibitions and swarmed around. Among them was the plump woman who had opened the shop for them yesterday.
Although the plump woman hadn't witnessed what had just happened, she had heard about it, and she looked at Qin San Niang and the others with even greater respect! No wonder they were able to travel all the way from the capital to here, settle down properly, and start a small business; they really had real skills!
