Xiao Yunying felt He Hua's hand was already at her face. She couldn't block it anymore, so she decided to just go for it.
She wanted to scratch her own face to pieces, and she felt she had to retaliate by hitting her a few times with just one hand.
It all comes down to who has the longer arms and who moves faster.
Her right arm was no longer used to shield her, and just as she was about to reach out to retaliate, she saw a large bowl fly past behind her and smash into He Hua's head. Immediately afterward, an even larger porcelain basin was slammed onto her face, followed by several pomegranates.
The blows left He Hua dizzy and disoriented, with blood streaming from her nose.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yunying kicked Liu Ge in the groin, and he cried out in pain as he clutched his private parts and fell to the ground.
A person suddenly rushed out from behind and slapped He Hua on the head as she bent over, covered her nose, and cursed. He Hua lost her balance and fell face-up to the ground.
The man sat directly on He Hua, raining blows of fists and slaps upon her.
"You worthless piece of trash, how dare you hit my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law has never been laid a finger on by my parents-in-law. Who do you think you are, daring to hit her!"
He Hua hurriedly retaliated, saying, "You shameless hussy, how dare you hit me!"
Xiao Yunying recognized the person who came; it was actually her second sister-in-law, Wang Shi!
Wang took the initiative and then sat on He Hua to suppress her. He Hua could only use one arm to protect her face and dodge left and right, while using one hand to resist.
Liu Ge realized something was wrong and struggled to kneel on the ground, but the indescribable area was too painful, and he couldn't lift his leg to get up after several attempts.
Xiao Yunying gave him a cold look, picked up the bucket, walked over, and kicked him in the butt.
Liu Ge fell to the ground, struggled to turn over, and stammered, "Miss Xiao... Miss Xiao, you can't be so rude..."
"No way!"
Xiao Yunying stepped on his chest, lifted the wooden bucket above her head, and swung it down hard towards his face.
Liu Ge's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "You can't!"
With a "bang," came the dull sound of a wooden bucket hitting flesh, but Liu Ge blocked it with his arm.
Liu Ge cried out in agony, "Miss Xiao, you..."
"Don't call me anymore, it's disgusting!"
Xiao Yunying didn't really intend to kill Liu Ge, so she didn't pay attention to his behavior of protecting his head with his arm.
Her goal was to teach him a lesson he would never forget, so that he would never dare to do it again, and to make others remember this moment so that they would not provoke her again.
He swung the wooden bucket around and smashed it down on Liu Ge again and again. The solid wood bucket was quite heavy, and each blow hit flesh squarely, the continuous "bang bang" sounding terrifying.
When the two brothers returned after emptying the buckets, they squeezed through the crowd and saw their stepmother's "brutal" behavior of repeatedly swinging the buckets at people, which actually put them at ease.
With the stepmother in control, there was nothing to worry about, so the two brothers chose to stand quietly to the side.
Liu Ge's calm and kind mask was shattered by the wooden buckets that Xiao Yunying kept swinging down. He rolled around to avoid them, crying out for help, "Help! Xiao Yunying has gone mad! She's going to kill someone!"
"My God, Xiao Yunying really wants to beat Liu Xiucai to death."
"Her second sister-in-law was the same; she wanted to scratch He Hua's face to pieces."
"Go quickly and call the village chief over."
Those around Xiao Yunying dared not step forward to stop her, fearing they might get hit themselves, as she was fighting as if she wanted to kill.
Even the young women who were on good terms with Wang didn't try to stop her, or rather, they didn't even think of doing so; they just stood by and offered words of advice.
"You can hit him a couple of times, but don't kill him. If you kill him, you'll have to pay with your life. It's such a loss."
He Hua is a gossip and likes to make up stories for no reason. She has made up stories about almost everyone in the village who is her age and has a say in them.
She's petty and can hold a grudge for years over the smallest thing. She'll remember it until she dies, unless she finds an opportunity to spread rumors or get revenge in other ways.
It's fair to say that few people in the village enjoyed being around her.
Seeing her being beaten, it was already a favor not to take the opportunity to go up and give her a few more whacks; no one specifically stopped Wang Shi.
If I get accidentally injured, it's not worth it for He Hua.
Someone must have sent word, because the person who received the message rushed to the well. The first to arrive was Liu Ge's mother.
Seeing her son being trampled and beaten by a woman, Liu Ge's mother picked up a stone bigger than her fist and threw it at Xiao Yunying's head.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit my son! I'll smash you to death!"
The moment Liu Ge's mother threw the stone, Mu Lianrong, who had already reached the fork in the road, felt her heart skip a beat: "My daughter!"
He was anxious, but couldn't utter a word; all he could do was call out to his daughter.
Xiao Yunying heard Mu Lianrong's shout, which was so shrill and piercing that she stopped swinging the wooden bucket and looked in the direction from which the sound came, which inadvertently gave Liu Ge's mother the opportunity to aim.
Luo Yang shouted urgently, "Stepmother, be careful!"
Luo Chen ran forward quickly, trying to push Xiao Yunying away, but a nearby figure was faster and knocked the stone off course with a carrying pole.
Fang Rou was a little dazed as she held up the carrying pole; she hadn't expected to hit it so accurately.
Hearing the sound of the stone hitting the carrying pole, Xiao Yunying turned around and glanced at Fang Rou, then looked back at the stone.
Liu Ge's thin body couldn't break free from Xiao Yunying's feet, so he could only plead for help with his mouth: "Mother, come and save me, this wicked woman is going to beat me to death."
Liu Ge's mother rushed forward and pushed Xiao Yunying, trying to rescue her son first.
Xiao Yunying anticipated the other party's actions, took a step back, turned around and made way, causing Liu Ge's mother to almost fall over, and in the process, she "accidentally" stepped on Liu Ge's face.
Now Liu Ge's nose has the same nosebleed bar as He Hua's.
