"Of course not."
Lin Jingyu retorted without hesitation, "She hit me first, so my counterattack was self-defense. If I didn't know some martial arts, just imagine what would have happened to me today."
Why should you just let it go like that? Am I supposed to just put up with this kind of treatment?
"You~"
A hint of apprehension flashed in Zhang Tieguang's eyes as he suppressed his anger. "What do you want?"
"It's simple, just promise me two things."
"Two things? Go ahead and say them."
"The first thing is that your wife has to apologize to me."
Lin Jingyu said with a blank expression, "The second thing is that from now on, whenever I hear of anyone ruining my reputation, I will settle accounts with your wife."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Tieguang was stunned.
Wang Xuehua became even more displeased instantly. "If others gossip about you, will you blame me for it?"
"good."
Lin Jingyu's lips curled slightly, tinged with sarcasm, her eyes filled with coldness. "Everyone knows your capabilities, Wang Xuehua. As long as you don't gossip about me and ruin my reputation, no one else will dare to spread rumors."
Even if someone talks about me behind my back, I'm sure you can handle this.
Hearing this, Wang Xuehua's heart skipped a beat, and her anger began to rise rapidly. "You little brat..."
"Stop cursing. If you keep cursing me, we'll report it to the police and resolve the issue."
"You brat, don't go too far!"
"Report it to the police!"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Zhang Tieguang's face was grim as he directly interrupted their angry rebuttal.
So they asked the village chief, who had been watching the show without saying a word, "Village chief, what do you think should be done about this?"
"What's the solution?"
The village chief slowly spoke up, "Didn't you agree that you'd handle it officially, report it to the police, or settle it privately? You could negotiate, and we'd be your witnesses."
"no……"
Upon meeting the village chief's displeased gaze, Zhang Tieguang knew that he would not side with him and his wife.
With nowhere to vent his anger, he could only yell at his wife, "Hurry up and apologize to Lin Zhiqing!"
"I don't……"
"Apologize, don't make me angry."
"I……"
Wang Xuehua's face twisted slightly. She glared at Lin Jingyu and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"I didn't hear it."
Lin Jingyu's lips curled up slightly, her smile somewhat casual. "Louder."
"sorry!"
Wang Xuehua shouted at the top of her lungs.
Feeling angry, resentful, wronged, and ashamed, he turned and ran away.
Zhang Tieguang's face was extremely ugly, and he quickly left.
The couple left very decisively.
Now only Zhao Qiaoyan remains as a 'victim'.
All eyes then fell on her.
“Village chief, if you don’t stand up for me, I’ll have no choice but to report this to the police.”
Zhao Qiaoyan discovered that the village chief didn't like villagers reporting cases to the police.
So they used this to threaten him.
"What case are you reporting?"
The village chief rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "You're following Wang Xuehua in slandering Lin Zhiqing. Do you want the police to convict you of defamation?"
"Me~"
Zhao Qiaoyan's face flushed with anger. "It's a fact that she hit me, but is the village chief going to side with her?"
"It was indeed wrong of Lin Zhiqing to hit someone."
The village chief said unhurriedly, "You provoked her first. Remember what it means to say something you shouldn't say.
Last time you injured Lin, the educated youth, you had to pay her thirty work points. I'll return those thirty work points to you later. Let's leave it at that.
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jingyu and asked, "Lin Zhijing, what do you think?"
"Okay, I'll listen to the village chief."
Lin Jingyu readily agreed.
She didn't care about the thirty work points at all.
The village chief nodded in satisfaction and said to the crowd who were watching the drama unfold, "Alright, it's getting late, everyone go home and make dinner."
...
What happened in the evening spread like wildfire, and the whole village knew about it.
Although Wang Xuehua and Zhao Qiaoyan deserved to be punished for their actions, many people still felt that Lin Jingyu's methods were a bit too ruthless.
Those who had a good impression of Lin Jingyu couldn't help but mutter to themselves that this girl was too cunning.
"Old man, this child, Lin Zhiqing..."
The village chief's wife, Aunt Hongmei, frowned. "She's too stubborn and headstrong. When it comes time for her to propose marriage, I'm afraid no one will dare to ask for her hand in marriage."
"She's a smart person to do that."
The village chief's eyes gleamed with admiration. "Who would dare to mess with her in the future? She's using this opportunity to establish her authority and make sure no one dares to look at her."
"That being said, the methods used are a bit too much."
Aunt Hongmei looked disapproving. "Breaking someone's wrist like that, how can that give you a good reputation?"
The village chief raised his eyebrows. "Who said she broke Wang Xuehua's hand?"
"No?"
Aunt Hongmei asked in surprise, "Everyone says that Lin, the educated youth, broke Wang Xuehua's hand."
"Nonsense."
The village chief chuckled, "Old Niu already said that Wang Xuehua's hand was dislocated, but he just put it back in and it was fine. Wang Xuehua and her husband didn't spend a penny to get their wrists back in place."
"dislocation?"
Aunt Hongmei hadn't expected things to turn out this way. "It's been said that Lin, the educated youth, broke her hand."
“Lin, the educated youth, was deliberately trying to scare people.”
The village chief laughed and said, "If she weren't so assertive, do you think Wang Xuehua and her husband would have been willing to suffer this loss?"
"Speaking of which, this couple is becoming more and more outrageous."
"Both of them are envious and can't stand seeing others do well. They're really getting worse as they get older."
