Chapter 53 Beating up Shemanman
"Impossible!" Xie Manman's face turned pale, and she finally panicked.
"You're definitely covering for her. If she didn't steal this Ganoderma lucidum, who else could it be? Who else could it be?"
Xie Manman refused to accept this reality. Her face contorted with rage, she charged at Su Xiangwan, yelling, "Su Xiangwan, it's you! You must have stolen the Ganoderma lucidum! Hand it over! Hand it over!"
"Xiang Wan!" Gu's mother was terrified and her face changed drastically.
Her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she wouldn't bear to see her daughter-in-law get hurt, even if it were just a child like Liu Jiabao, let alone an adult like Xie Manman.
At the critical moment, Gu Yanxiao suddenly lunged forward, arriving directly in front of Su Xiangwan. With a swift movement, he kicked Xie Manman, who was about to bump into his wife, sending her flying backward.
"ah!"
Xie Manman screamed in agony, feeling as if Gu Yanxiao had kicked her internal organs out of place.
After landing heavily, he couldn't get up for a long time.
"Wife, are you scared?" Gu Yanxiao's face was slightly pale. He felt that his heart had almost stopped just now.
Even now, after protecting his wife, he still feels a tightness in his heart, as if something is pressing against it.
"You dare to ambush my sister-in-law? You've really got some nerve!"
Gu Yanfei roared and, like a little cheetah, leaped directly in front of Xie Manman, kneeling heavily on Xie Manman's chest.
Kneeling for so long, Xie Manman's vision went black, and she was about to faint.
However, at that moment, a sharp pain shot through her face, jolting her half-conscious awake!
"How dare you bully my sister-in-law! Do you really think the Gu family is easy to bully?!"
Gu Yanfei was so angry that her cheeks turned red. She punched Xie Manman hard in the face and body, making her nose bleed and tears fly everywhere.
"Ah! Ah! Help... Ah!"
Xie Manman's screams echoed throughout the Gu family courtyard.
Everyone shuddered as they watched Gu Yanfei throw punches that left afterimages, landed solidly, and created sonic booms.
Oh my god!
This youngest sister of the Gu family is really too fierce and too cruel!
Among the crowd, many people were also secretly eyeing Gu Yanfei.
After all, the Gu family is too conspicuous. If one could marry a daughter of the Gu family, one would benefit from their good fortune to some extent.
But now, seeing Gu Yanfei's fierce appearance, they couldn't help but wonder how many punches they could withstand from her.
Tong Liqun looked at Xie Manman, whose face had swelled up several times over in an instant, and felt a pang of toothache.
He took a few puffs of his pipe in exasperation to calm himself down before slowly saying, "Little sister Gu, put out the fire. If you keep fighting, someone could die!"
After all, Xie Manman started this whole thing, and now the Gu family's younger sister has started beating people up.
Even if he's the Party Secretary, it's not appropriate for him to interfere too much when female comrades fight each other.
"yes……"
Just then, Xu Yirou helplessly stepped forward to plead, "Little Sister Gu, Manman was just confused for a moment. You've already hit her and scolded her, can you forgive her this time and give her a chance..."
"Why should she?!" Gu Yanfei retorted without backing down. "Just because she's confused doesn't mean she can offend my pregnant sister-in-law. What if something happens to the baby in my sister-in-law's belly? Who will give them the chance?"
As she spoke, Gu Yanfei's hands did not stop, and she punched Xie Manman's face one after another with a series of "bang! bang! bang!"
"This..." Seeing Xie Manman gradually fall silent from the beating, Tong Liqun worried that someone might actually die, so he could only turn to Gu's father for help: "Brother Jianguo, if Gu's little sister keeps hitting her, I'm afraid Xie Zhiqing might..."
Gu's father also understood that the reason Gu Yanfei was able to suppress Xie Manman like this was because Tong Liqun was deliberately giving them a chance to vent their anger.
Otherwise, given Tong Liqun's influence in the village, a single word from him would have been enough to draw Gu Yanfei away.
Doing this now is actually a way to show the villagers of Bakushu Village, so that they will not dare to underestimate their family-oriented nature in the future.
Knowing this about human relationships well, Gu's father nodded to Tong Liqun, stepped forward, and pulled Gu Yanfei back, saying, "Alright, daughter, just give Secretary Tong some face. I believe he will handle this matter properly."
Upon hearing this, Tong Liqun glanced at Gu Yanfei, who was lying on the ground with blood flowing from her mouth and nose, her face swollen like an over-fermented dough, and his lips twitched.
They've already beaten someone up like this, and they still want to "deal with" them? The Gu family really won't suffer the slightest loss!
Su Xiangwan naturally wouldn't just let Gu's father and Gu Yanfei stand in front. She looked at Gu Yanxiao, whose face was a little pale, with heartache, and stepped forward, saying, "Secretary Tong, this matter is really too heinous. She clearly wants to kill me and the child in my womb. If you think this matter is difficult to handle today, then let's go to the town and ask the police to handle it!"
"Brother Jianguo, Su Zhiqing, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory solution to this matter."
Tong Liqun was also frightened by Xie Manman's viciousness.
Just like Gu's father said, Xie Manman clearly wanted to kill someone and their unborn child!
But if they hand it over to the town's police, they can forget about their village's status as an advanced collective.
It's not worth harming the whole village for Xie Manman's sake.
"Xie Manman, from today onwards, you will be responsible for carrying manure! And you are not allowed to go near the Gu family's yard or any of the Gu family members again. Otherwise, I will report this incident, along with today's events, to the police for handling."
"As for the grain you just promised to compensate the Gu family, I will start deducting it from your rations from this year, half of each ration, until the Gu family's rations are fully compensated."
When Gu's father heard what Tong Liqun said, he nodded and said nothing more.
He understood Tong Liqun's predicament. After all, as the village's Party Secretary, Tong Liqun had to prioritize the interests of the entire village in everything he did.
Since I will be living in Bakushu Village from now on, I cannot stand against the entire village.
Otherwise, even if the Gu family is powerful, they will ultimately be no match for the entire village.
Tong Liqun now believes that Xie Manman probably didn't steal that large Ganoderma lucidum.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so foolish as to agree to search the Gu family's courtyard in exchange for a hundred catties of grain.
But if that's the case, who picked that large Ganoderma lucidum?
Xie Manman's face turned pale. Her food rations were already scarce enough. If she had to give half of them to the Gu family, would she still be able to eat her fill?
