"Mom, what happened?"
When Zhou Ling heard someone tell her that her mother had gotten into a fight, she was very worried that something might have happened to her, so she rushed over.
Song Che has already gone to work. Zhou Ling only has so much time today because it's the weekend and school is closed.
Who knew that her mother would get into a fight with someone just by going out for a stroll and getting familiar with a residential compound?
Although Zhou Ling knew that her mother was practically invincible on Guangming Road back in their hometown, getting into a fight with her neighbor was still a bit too much for her to handle.
Chen Suwen grabbed He Yuxian's shoulder and looked at her daughter, whose face was full of worry.
"Zhou Ling, take your mother away right now!"
"I was just walking along the street when she came up and hit me. What do you mean by that? Are you and your daughter ganging up on me?"
"Who bullied you?" Chen Suwen slapped her shoulder hard and then let go of her.
"You were the one who rolled your eyes at me for no reason and even snorted at me. Was it wrong for me to ask you to apologize?"
"Did I offend you as soon as I arrived? I asked you to apologize, and you swore at me, and now it's all my fault?"
When Zhou Ling heard her mother say that, the way she looked at He Yuxian changed.
"He Yuxian, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
“I did nothing at home. I was very quiet and didn’t make any noise. I also kept my children from jumping around.”
"You're always picking on me, always saying I'm disturbing you."
"Now you're blaming my mom? She just came to the family compound and hasn't done anything, and you're already causing trouble for her."
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Zhou Ling was not weak either. Although she couldn't beat her mother, she was not afraid of He Yuxian.
"Who bullied you? It was clearly your mother who deliberately bullied you." He Yuxian wasn't afraid at all, perhaps because she thought Zhou Ling and Song Che were easy to talk to, and she wasn't afraid of being retaliated against.
"You say I bullied you? Fine, I'll show you how I bully you!"
Chen Suwen saw that He Yuxian was not guilty at all, did not think she had done anything wrong, and did not indulge her.
He slapped her across the face right away, and then, feeling it was asymmetrical, slapped her on the other side as well.
"Do you know what bullying is?"
"I was just walking along the street and you said those things to me. If I do nothing, wouldn't that just undermine your accusations?"
"Do you take me for someone easy to bully?"
"My daughter is easy to talk to, but do you think I'm easy to talk to too? Don't you even know what kind of good person I, Chen Suwen, am?"
She's a real character, the kind of old lady who'll make trouble no matter what. If He Yuxian dares to "exploit" her, she'll take action.
"Ah! You dare hit me! You actually dared to hit me!"
He Yuxian was stunned by the blow. When she came to her senses, she felt a burning pain on her face and couldn't help but scream.
"I'll hit you if I want to, do I need to discuss it with you? Didn't you say I was bullying you?"
"You say I'm bullying you? I'll bully you back then!" Chen Suwen raised her hand. "Do you want to hit me a few more times? Do you want me to beat your head into a pig's head?"
"Ah—I'll fight you to the death!"
He Yuxian was so angry that she rushed up to fight Chen Suwen, not expecting that Chen Suwen would actually hit her.
Chen Suwen's fighting ability was far superior to He Yuxian's; she took her down in no time, grabbed her arm, and pinned her to the ground.
"You little punk, you dare to lay a hand on me?"
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to kill you—"
He Yuxian was pinned to the ground and felt terrible. Originally, she didn't have much of a grudge and just wanted to annoy Zhou Ling, but now she wanted to kill Chen Suwen.
"Oh, murder? How could you say that? You're really vicious... You've killed someone?" Chen Suwen pressed her down hard again, pressing her face tightly against the ground.
"Judging from your shouting and threats against me, it seems you've killed quite a few people?"
"Aaaaaah—you old hag! Let go of me! My man won't let you get away with this!"
He Yuxian had never suffered such injustice or humiliation.
Although her family was from a small county, she hadn't experienced much hardship and had been pampered since childhood.
The man she later married was also from a county town. She looked down on people from rural backgrounds and envied and was jealous of people from big cities.
For example, Zhou Ling, who comes from Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, makes He Yuxian particularly envious and jealous.
I'm jealous of her background, jealous of her good marriage, and jealous that she got a teaching job in less than six months.
The man who was even more jealous of Zhou Ling was treating her so well.
That's why she was so nitpicky. Even though Zhou Ling hadn't made much noise or disturbed anyone, she would still frequently come to her house to accuse her family of making noise downstairs.
Now that Chen Suwen is bullying her like this, she hates Zhou Ling even more.
It's all Zhou Ling's fault for bringing her mother here, which led to her getting beaten up. She'll remember this grudge.
Neither Zhou Ling nor Tan Xiaojuan made Chen Suwen release He Yuxian, mainly because Chen Suwen's insults were too harsh.
Moreover, neither of them liked He Yuxian, so they were happy to see her get a lesson.
Actually, Zhou Ling sometimes couldn't help but want to slap her, but she was quite well-mannered and couldn't just lay a hand on her.
Now that she saw her mother directly start a fight and beat the person up, she felt much better.
He Yuxian cursed and swore, and even when Chen Suwen was hitting her, she didn't hold back, and her curses were particularly vulgar.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but frown as she listened; her mother was truly wronged to be insulted like that.
"Zhou Ling, you bitch—the capitalist's daughter—"
