Pei Yao pulled Yunniang aside, then ignored Widow Xia and turned to find a stick in the yard.
Then, looking coldly at Widow Xia, he said, "Get off her."
Pei Yao was furious at this moment, and her gaze toward Widow Xia was sinister.
Widow Xia suddenly felt a chill.
He almost actually obeyed and got off Zhang Niangzi.
However, she quickly realized that no matter how sharp the other person's gaze was, she was still just a young girl.
Don't be afraid.
So Widow Xia quickly regained her composure, and when she saw Pei Yao's inexplicably hesitant look, she immediately became disdainful.
"I'm not coming down, what can you do about it...?"
But before Widow Xia could finish speaking, Pei Yao had already struck down with the stick in her hand.
"Ah!!!!" Widow Xia screamed and stood up abruptly.
Pei Yao's hand holding the stick didn't stop; instead, it continued to follow Widow Xia.
Wherever she tried to dodge, she would strike with her stick without holding back.
However, Pei Yao was also careful, only applying the ointment to areas that were not visible on the surface, trying to avoid those conspicuous spots.
The stick in Pei Yao's hand wasn't particularly thick. As long as it wasn't aimed at the spine or head, there wouldn't be any major problems. At most, she would feel uncomfortable for a while afterward.
However, compared to the injuries on Zhang Niangzi's body, Widow Xia was still able to jump and hop around, dodging Pei Yao's stick.
This means it still doesn't hurt enough.
Some people in the crowd couldn't stand it and thought it was inappropriate for a young girl like Pei Yao to chase after someone with a stick.
Granny Wang glared at the man who had said those words; he was the village's old widower.
This man was a womanizer and always made suggestive jokes with the young women in the village, which was very annoying.
This man usually gets along very well with Widow Xia.
Granny Wang glared at him irritably: "It's not like I'm beating your woman, it's none of your business to feel sorry for her, go cool off somewhere else."
Granny Wang is a difficult person, old and not easy to mess with.
Zhang the widower was timid and fearful. Although he loved to joke, he dared not do anything that would truly anger the public.
Normally, Zhang the widower would avoid Wang Pozi.
Hearing him say that, she immediately deflated and defended herself, saying, "Old Wang, you can't slander me like that. I have no relationship with that Widow Xia."
Nobody wants to be associated with a widow.
Widow Xia, enraged by the beating, fled in panic through the courtyard, covering her head.
However, she was not one to be trifled with. When she got desperate, she started looking for a stick to fight back.
However, Pei Yao immediately noticed her little scheme and used the stick to push away her hand that was trying to reach for the stick.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yunniang quickly pulled Zhang Niangzi out.
Although the villagers dared not confront her directly, since it wasn't their own business, they didn't feel comfortable offering to help.
However, it's still possible to take all the sticks away while things are in chaos.
So the villagers looted all the sticks in the Qi family's courtyard, except for the one in Pei Yao's hand.
Pei Yao continued to fight, and Widow Xia continued to run.
The entire courtyard was filled with constant wails of agony.
However, the stick in Pei Yao's hand seemed to have eyes, hitting her with perfect accuracy every time.
This stick won't kill you, but every hit it takes is extremely painful.
Yunniang was looking at Zhang Niangzi in her arms, who was still unconscious.
Zhang Niangzi's three children were all very well-behaved. When they saw Yunniang coming to help their mother, they immediately stopped crying.
They had previously accompanied Zhang Niangzi to the place where she worked.
So when Zhang Niangzi's eldest daughter, Qi Xiaochun, met Yunniang, she looked at Yunniang with tears in her eyes and asked, "Aunt Yun, is my mother alright?"
Qi Xiaochun's younger sister, Qi Xiaoxia, also looked worried.
Yunniang didn't know either, but seeing the three children's teary eyes, she could only comfort them, "It's okay, it will be okay."
Yunniang gently patted Xiaochun, Xiaxia, and Qiu's heads.
Zhang Niangzi has recovered a bit by now, but her face is still very swollen and there is blood at the corner of her mouth.
Shen Yu watched through the crowd as Pei Yao chased after Widow Xia with a stick.
To make sure she wouldn't suffer any losses, he quickly went over to Yunniang and the others.
Yunniang still had a woman unconscious in her arms.
Shen Yu quickly came over and squatted down.
"Aunt Yun, are you alright?" Shen Yu called out to Yun Niang.
When Yunniang looked up, she saw Shen Yu. Before she could ask him why he was there, she said anxiously, "Xiao Yu, quickly look at Madam Zhang. She seems to be seriously injured."
Shen Yu nodded: "Okay, but I'll trouble Aunt Yun to pull this lady's clothes a little open."
Since Shen Yu was a man, it was not appropriate for him to directly lift up Zhang Niangzi's clothes.
I had no choice but to ask Yunniang for help.
Yunniang pulled open the several layers of thin clothing that Zhang Niangzi was wearing on her wrists, leaving only the innermost layer of clothing unopened.
Shen Yu took her pulse through her clothes.
He quickly withdrew his hand and said to Yunniang and the three children standing around, "This aunt's pulse seems weak, but it's nothing serious. She'll be fine after resting for a while."
Shen Yu naturally couldn't directly examine the external injuries on Zhang Niangzi's body.
The only thing we can do is find a woman to come and see.
Finally, Widow Xia couldn't take it anymore. While dodging, she shouted at Qi Dayong, "Qi Dayong, are you dead?! Can't you see I'm being beaten by this brat... Ah!!!!!!!!!"
When Widow Xia called Pei Yao a "brat," Pei Yao hit her with even more force, causing Widow Xia to scream and run away before she could finish her sentence.
Qi Dayong originally didn't want to get involved. He was always useless; whether it was Zhang Niangzi or Widow Xia being beaten, his reaction was to hide and ignore it.
However, since Widow Xia had called him, he had no choice but to go forward and help.
Qi Dayong rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go forward to help.
However, Pei Yao was already in a frenzy, and Qi Dayong was suddenly hit several times by her as soon as he arrived.
Pei Yao stared at Qi Dayong angrily and said, "This woman certainly deserved to be beaten, but it was all your fault, so you deserve to be beaten even more."
Pei Yao then quickly transferred the stick in her hand to Qi Dayong.
When Pei Yao hit Widow Xia, she held back, but when it came to Qi Dayong, she put all her strength into every blow, making the grown man Qi Dayong howl in pain.
Widow Xia was still sore from the beating that brat had given her, and now that Pei Yao had finally shifted her target, she got up, grabbed a stick, and quickly handed it to Qi Dayong while Pei Yao wasn't looking.
"Dayong, here, take a stick and beat that brat."
Ouch!
When Pei Yao heard Widow Xia call her "you brat" again, she immediately swung the stick at Widow Xia again.
Widow Xia was immediately beaten and screamed.
Qi Dayong got away, and after a short while, he saw that everyone around him was laughing at him.
