Chapter 2 Trouble Comes Knocking



"Old Zhen's daughter, you can't keep spoiling her. If it were me, I would have kicked her out long ago."

"Now look what's happened! Not only have you lost face, but our entire village is too ashamed to show our faces in public!"

At this moment, the villager's door was completely surrounded, and the woman standing at the front was shouting in a shrill voice:

"My poor Er Gouzi, he finally found a good family, and the girl is also a good one. My family is very satisfied and was just about to go and propose marriage."

As a result, they were so scared when they heard that your Zhen Wanwan had cheated on you with another man and got pregnant with his child that they kicked us out!

The woman, with a sharp and mean face, was arrogantly cursing at Zhen's doorstep.

Zhen Wanwan knew who the woman in front of her was—the most gossipy person in the village, the most prone to causing trouble, and her son wasn't a good one either.

"Bullshit! Your Zhang Ergou only knows how to steal chickens and dogs, and does all sorts of despicable things. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Old Mrs. Li stood with her hands on her hips, angrily arguing with Zhang Ergou's mother.

"Which other good girls would want to marry into your family?"

"You old hag Li, how dare you frame my Er Gouzi! I'll fight you to the death!" Zhang Er Gou's mother used a retreating tactic.

Her mother retaliated, using a counter-attack tactic to force Zhang Ergou's mother to retreat. The two fought back and forth, unable to touch each other, yet still locked in a fierce battle.

The onlookers watched the two with great interest, unconcerned that they had been tanned dark and shiny by the sun.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Zhen Wanwan suppressed her laughter. It was exactly the same as the scene of middle-aged women arguing online, making people laugh.

“Your Zhen Wanwan isn’t even married yet, and she’s already pregnant with a bastard. She’s not a virtuous woman. I’m afraid she got pregnant by selling her body. She should be drowned in a pig cage.”

The fire was burning her, and Zhen Wanwan couldn't sit still any longer. She prepared to get up and leave, but she didn't expect that she had just stepped out of the bedroom.

Zhen Xiaohu blocked her way: "Auntie, Grandma said you can't go out. You're pregnant with your little brother."

Old Mrs. Li outside was enraged by Zhang Gouzi's mother's words and immediately started fighting. The two women were already engaged in a brawl.

"Oh my god, help! This is terrible! Zhen's family is going to kill someone!"

Zhang Ergou's mother was short and quite obese during the famine, so she was naturally not as tall as Old Lady Li, who was 1.7 meters tall.

At this moment, she was being slapped across the face by Old Lady Li, who was pinning her to the ground.

When Zhen Wanwan saw that her mother hadn't suffered any loss, she felt relieved. Her mother was really too weak right now; she was eight months pregnant, but her belly was only slightly protruding, and she was extremely thin.

The scene is very chaotic right now. If someone accidentally touches her, she could be in danger at any moment. It would be better for her to stay quietly in the house and not cause trouble for her family.

If the losses outweigh the gains, she will be the one who suffers.

Some of the more astute onlookers have already informed the Zhang family and the village chief, as they are also somewhat afraid of Old Lady Li's ferocity.

"You have no sense of propriety when it comes to talking about my Wanwan like that! I'll beat you to death!"

Because Er Gou's mother struggled so fiercely, Old Lady Li was somewhat exhausted and accidentally scratched her face, which frightened Wang Juhua, who had been standing by helplessly.

Hearing the commotion outside, Zhen Wanwan secretly took out a stun gun from her spatial storage. It was only the size of a palm, but it was incredibly powerful.

I haven't used this thing yet, so I don't know how effective it is.

Zhen Wanwan hesitated a bit about whether to take this thing out.

"Mother, I'm coming to save you!"

The Zhang family had already arrived at the scene, and Zhang Ergouzi was preparing to lift up Old Lady Li to rescue his mother.

Zhen Xiaohu couldn't sit still any longer. She climbed onto the tatami mat and nervously peered out through the broken window.

Hearing the commotion, Zhen Nini ran out from the backyard and hid frightened next to the woodpile. Zhen Wanwan quickly invited her in.

Right now, the men of the Zhen family are still out, leaving only her, the pregnant woman, her elderly mother, her sister-in-law, and her two nephews and nieces at home—the old, the young, and the frail.

Zhang Ergou is, after all, an adult male. If they were to actually fight, they would also be harmed.

She was pregnant.

Her sister-in-law, Wang Juhua, was trembling with fear, her eyes red-rimmed, as she bravely stood in front of Old Lady Li.

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Zhen Xiaohu ran out, and Zhen Nini, who had been playing quietly inside, was so frightened by the scene that she burst into tears.

In a second, she made up her mind. After briefly comforting Zhen Nini, she grabbed her stun gun and went outside.

Just then, they saw Zhang Ergouzi raise a piece of gravel, preparing to smash it onto Zhen Xiaohu. The force of that blow would at least leave him badly injured, if not killed!

This also made the onlookers realize Zhang Ergou's ruthlessness, but no one was willing to stand up and say a word, preparing to coldly watch this tragedy unfold.

"Zhang Ergouzi, stop right there! If you keep messing around, I won't be so polite!"

Perhaps because she hadn't left the house in a long time, Zhen Wanwan felt dizzy as soon as she came out, and her vision went black. It took her half a minute to regain her sight.

The weather was scorching hot, the sun was blinding, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

Zhen Wanwan gagged a few times as a physiological reflex, and when she saw Zhang Ergouzi's actions, she roared angrily.

She made a mental note of this person and would find an opportunity to make him pay the price later.

“A life for a life. If you’re not afraid of causing a death, then go ahead and smash it! My aunt’s family knows the county magistrate. Then your whole family will be dead.”

The onlookers, upon hearing the name of the county magistrate, also came to their senses. The Zhen family had a remarkable aunt who had married a prominent figure in the county years ago.

If something happens to the Zhen family and the officials investigate, those of us who were just watching the show will probably be arrested as well.

"Er Gouzi, why aren't you putting down the stone yet? Do you really want to go to jail?"

Several villagers, fearing punishment, quickly spoke up to remind Zhang Ergou.

"That's right, your mother came to their house herself, so you can't blame the Zhen family."

Zhen Wanwan had already walked in front of Wang Juhua, and she looked even smaller in the sunlight.

Her hair was frizzy and yellow, her body was so thin it was practically skin and bones, and her pregnant belly looked like it had a tumor. She looked weak and ridiculous.

"Er Gouzi, hurry up and teach that little bastard a lesson! Your mother is being bullied!"

Zhang Ergou's mother stood up shakily, feeling pain all over her body. That old woman Li was really ruthless.

At first, Zhang Ergou felt a little uneasy looking at Zhen Wanwan's confident expression.

Then, seeing how thin she was, like a monkey, yet still trying to appear calm, my fear subsided considerably.

"Fine, you've beaten my mother up like this, it's not unreasonable for me to ask for some medical expenses!"

His eyes gleamed with shrewdness, and his lewd manner and ugly appearance made him very unpleasant to behold.

"Ouch, I'm in pain all over my body. I'm afraid I won't be able to work anymore. If you don't pay me twenty taels, I'm not leaving!"

Twenty taels? Why don't you just rob someone!
