Xiao Yunying is usually too lazy to argue with people, feeling it's a waste of time, because she dislikes trouble, and the key word is laziness.
This doesn't mean she has a good temper. On the contrary, her temper is not as cold as she appears. In fact, she is particularly irritable, but it is suppressed by laziness.
They came to her door to bully her, verbally abused her, and even tried to hit her child in front of her. She had no reason to continue to tolerate it.
"I didn't do anything to you, did I? You suddenly showed up at my doorstep, started a tantrum, and even tried to hit my child! Who gave you the guts!"
He Hua let out two wails and shouted loudly, "Who said you didn't provoke me? Look at my son, his face has been scratched by your little bastard."
Luo Li rubbed her eyes red again behind Luo Chen and peeked out: "He grabbed my bubble solution first, so I fought back. Uncle Lin saw it!"
Lin Shi couldn't get into a fight with Xiao Yunying, so he could only stand aside anxiously: "You stupid woman, your son was beaten up because he stole someone's things, and you still have the nerve to come to us (to complain and demand an explanation)?"
Xiao Yunying's grip remained firm, and He Hua felt as if her fingers were about to be broken. She reached out her left hand to hit her.
After she was ten years old in her previous life, her health improved, and her father took her to learn self-defense. She couldn't say for sure about men, but dealing with a village woman was no problem. She quickly grabbed He Hua's left little finger again.
"Lin Shi, your son has been beaten up, and instead of helping him get justice, your wife is being bullied, and you don't even try to help. What kind of block of wood are you standing there like?!"
Lin Shi was both anxious and ashamed. Why was this woman being so unreasonable today? "I already said that it was the son who bullied Luo Li first. You too, the mother is right here. Who do you think you are to lecture someone else's child?"
Xiao Yunying put two fingers together in one hand and beckoned to Lin Shi's son, wanting to check on his injury.
The little boy was frightened by Xiao Yunying's behavior. Luo Li's stepmother was very fierce; if Luo Li could hit him, he would be even more terrified. Not only did he not approach her, but he also took two steps back, only daring to explain when he was further away.
“I didn’t tell my mother. She kept asking me what happened to my face, so I said I had a fight with Luo Li and my father saw it. My mother asked me where my father was, and I said he took Luo Li home. Then my mother insisted on dragging me along.”
The boys in the village are tough; they often get minor injuries from running around and getting into fights. As long as the injuries aren't serious, nobody cares.
Who knows what's wrong with his mother today? She had two small scratches on her face, just a few broken skin scabs that would heal later, but she insisted on dragging him to find Luo Li's stepmother.
This is so embarrassing. If word gets out, will anyone still want to hang out with him?
He Hua tried to pull her hand away, but Xiao Yunying didn't hesitate to add more force, prying her hand down until He Hua couldn't take it anymore.
"Lin Shi, are you dead? You just stand by and watch her bully me! My fingers are going to break!"
He Hua's voice was shrill, and she made quite a commotion, attracting a crowd of onlookers, both those with something to do and those without.
Even the most honest man like Lin Shi couldn't help but feel disgusted when his wife publicly berated him in front of so many people. Yet, he couldn't just ignore it, since she was his wife after all.
“Yun Ying, don’t bother with this woman. Let her go, and I’ll take her back right away.”
Xiao Yunying released her grip: "For Brother Lin's sake, I'll let her go this time. But if I hear her barking at my child again, I'll personally cut off her tongue and tear her mouth apart."
Although she had never done anything so bloody before, she didn't mind giving it a try for the first time.
Even if you don't dare cut off their tongue, knocking out a few teeth is fine.
She could ignore their gossip about her before, but now they dare to come right up to her. With her fiery temper, she can't stand it.
Xiao Yunying's tone and the coldness in her eyes made Lin Shi realize that she was serious and not just bluffing.
He Hua rubbed her hands and retreated behind Lin Shi: "Pah, you little slut, do you still remember that my family is your savior? How dare you lay a hand on your benefactor, be careful you don't get struck by lightning!"
"It was Brother Lin Shi who saved me, what does it have to do with you?"
"Lin Shi is my man, so the person he saved is the person I saved."
Xiao Yunying chuckled, she had never seen such a shameless person.
Lin Shi scolded He Hua: "Alright, shut up and go home."
Lin Shi's son was young and easily embarrassed. He felt he couldn't stand being surrounded and talked about by so many people, so he came up to his mother and said, "Mom, let's go home. Let's stop making a scene here."
He was still thinking of asking Luo Li for that bubble solution to play with, but with his mother making such a fuss, he was even less likely to get it.
Lin Shi was usually quiet and unassuming, and since He Hua married into the family, he had never said a harsh word to her. Today, however, he dared to yell at her, and even her son didn't help her. He Hua was furious.
She couldn't bear to scold her son, so she could only vent her anger on Lin Shi: "Your son and daughter-in-law were bullied by her, and instead of helping your own family, you're always taking the side of this young widow. Have you taken a liking to her, or are you two already having an affair!"
Lin Shi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say such things!"
Aunt Yang and Fang Rou returned from washing clothes by the river and saw a crowd gathered around Yun Ying's house. Sensing something was wrong, they squeezed into the crowd and overheard He Hua's words.
Fang Rou put the basin in Aunt Yang's hands and walked to Xiao Yunying's side: "He Hua, don't just blurt out whatever comes to mind. You're a grown woman, don't you know what you can and can't say?"
Aunt Yang wasn't prepared for the wooden basin her daughter-in-law suddenly placed over her shoulder, and almost strained her back from the weight. She steadied herself before walking over.
“He Hua, how can you talk about your child’s father in front of your own child? Do you even act like a mother?”
Fang Rou agreed, saying, "That's right. You may be shameless, but Yun Ying still has a sense of shame. Don't you see what kind of man you have? How could Yun Ying possibly be interested in him?"
Lin Shi: Although... but... what's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?
