Chapter Nine: Xixi Called Mom!
So, Rong Nanxi looked at Liu Shuhua, who had a sharp and sarcastic expression under the tree, and rushed straight over with a smile on her face.
"Oh, Aunt Liu, it's been so long!"
Liu Shuhua was somewhat frightened when she saw Rong Nanxi walking over so aggressively.
In the past, no matter how harsh her words were, this little bitch would just obediently endure them. What's wrong with her today?
"What, what are you going to do?"
Before she could finish thinking, Rong Nanxi was already close by, grabbed Liu Shuhua and, using the branches as cover, deftly grabbed Liu Shuhua's hair tie and tied it to the treetop.
"Aunt Liu has gotten even thinner these past few days!"
Liu Shuhua, who had no idea what Rong Nanxi was doing, was completely bewildered.
With their view obscured by the trees, the crowd, who were just about to watch the show, were also dumbfounded.
Why isn't this going according to plan?
Shouldn't they be hurling insults at each other, then tearing each other apart? What's going on here? Why are they reminiscing about the past?
However, some clever people, fearing something might go wrong, quickly sent someone to inform the Fu and Rong families.
Stunned, Liu Shuhua didn't even think to push Rong Nanxi away for a moment.
"Why are you standing so close to me?"
Rong Nanxi took a step back, smiling, "Smell what Auntie ate today, your breath smells so bad!"
"You little hussy, how dare you call me foul-mouthed! I'll teach you a lesson today!"
Liu Shuhua was furious. Being publicly scolded by a junior was incredibly humiliating!
Enraged, Liu Shuhua took a large step forward, when a sharp pain shot through her scalp, and a piercing scream erupted from her mouth, assaulting everyone's eardrums.
"ah--"
What happened?
Liu Shuhua was about to turn around to see who had attacked her from behind, but as soon as she turned her head, she felt a sharp pain on her scalp, which startled her so much that she dared not move easily. It was only thanks to the help of a kind villager that she was told that her hair was tangled in a tree branch.
"You little bitch! You unlucky thing! Did you do this?! I've been standing under this tree for years and my hair has never gotten tangled in it before!"
Liu Shuhua glared at Rong Nanxi fiercely, as if she wanted to devour her, remembering Rong Nanxi's inexplicable hug.
As Liu Shuhua cursed "bitch" and "vixen" under her breath, she tried to untie the hair tie, but for some reason it got tighter and tighter, and even a lot of her hair got tangled in it.
Although many of the older women disliked Liu Shuhua's habit of being sarcastic, stingy, and greedy, they couldn't help but take scissors and offer to cut off the tangled hair tie and hair.
However, as soon as they got close, they were met with a frenzied attack from Liu Shuhua.
"What are you trying to do? Do you even know how much my hair tie cost? A whole dime! Will you pay for it if you ruin it? You want to cut my hair too? What? Are you afraid I'm too pretty and will seduce your men?"
Upon hearing Liu Shuhua's words, the aunties who had intended to help turned completely pale.
Everyone is kind-hearted, but they don't want to be met with indifference.
Thus, the village of Bafang under the moonlight presented an extremely eerie scene.
Under a tree, a disheveled peasant woman, around thirty or forty years old, was hanging herself. A group of simply dressed people of all ages stood around, watching without offering any help.
The Fu family was stunned when they arrived.
Zhong Xiuniang rushed into the encirclement, shouting Rong Nanxi's name: "Xixi! Where are you? You can't be impulsive!"
Fu Zhongguo followed and ran into the encirclement.
Fu Qingyue was also stunned. She tugged at Fu Qingchen and asked, "Brother, is she really that ruthless? How could she dare to drive Aunt Liu to the point of hanging herself?"
From their perspective, Liu Shuhua had her head down and was constantly pulling at something behind her with both hands, which did indeed look like she was hanging herself.
Fu Qingchen said with a grim face, "Not a single person in the entire village dared to step forward to help! This woman, we underestimated her!"
"But that's perfect, I don't believe my brother would marry a murderer!"
Fu Qingchen snorted coldly and strode over.
As soon as the two squeezed in, they saw Fu Zhongguo and Zhong Xiuniang surrounding Rong Nanxi, asking her how she was doing.
When they came in, they had already heard everyone recount what had happened. Since no one had died, their own daughter-in-law was naturally the most important person.
The brother and sister originally came in to see the Fu family elders criticize Rong Nanxi for being ruthless, but they didn't expect that even after things had come to this point, the two elders were still concerned about Rong Nanxi, which made them angry!
Fu Qingyue said angrily, "Dad! Mom! Rong Nanxi has done such a thing, how can you still protect her! This could lead to a lawsuit!"
At this moment, Zhong Xiuniang only had eyes for Rong Nanxi: "Xixi, are you alright?"
Rong Nanxi smiled and shook her head: "It's okay! Mom, let's go back! There are too many mosquitoes outside, they're biting us!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiuniang felt extremely distressed.
Her daughter-in-law has always been pampered. I heard that when she was in the Lu family, she never stopped using imported mosquito coils in the summer. Now that she's in the Fu family, she can't be treated badly.
Thinking about it, Zhong Xiuniang suddenly froze.
Did Xixi just call her mom?
Zhong Xiuniang suddenly felt a little lost.
She was already very happy that Rong Nanxi, who had never liked her before, was now willing to greet her with a smile.
Unexpectedly, there was another surprise!
"Oh! Mom..." Zhong Xiuniang stammered with joy, "Mom will take you back right now!"
As soon as Rong Nanxi blurted out "Mom," she realized that she shouldn't have changed her address since she didn't have a formal title yet.
Thinking about it, perhaps it was because this name had been lingering in my mind for decades in my previous life that I blurted it out.
However, seeing Zhong Xiuniang so happy, Rong Nanxi didn't say anything and let Zhong Xiuniang take her hand and leave.
Just then, Liu Shuhua untied her hairband and saw Rong Nanxi trying to run away. She took a big step forward and grabbed Rong Nanxi's arm, her dark and rough fingers gripping Rong Nanxi's arm tightly.
"You little bitch! You made me lose so many hairs, and now you think you can run away? No way! Let me tell you, my brother works at the county public security bureau. If they find out, he'll definitely not let you get away with this!"
Rong Nanxi didn't care much. She was afraid that the Lu and Chen families wouldn't give up her kidney easily. So what did it matter if there was one more policeman?
Moreover, there are no witnesses or physical evidence in this case. Does a lowly policeman really think he can forcibly arrest someone?
"Unless, unless you give me five yuan, no, fifty yuan, I won't pursue this matter!" Liu Shuhua's eyes gleamed with calculation!
"Fifty?" Fu Qingyue laughed in exasperation. "Why don't you just rob someone?"
At this time, the brother and sister also learned the truth from the people around them, but even so, they still had a lot of opinions about Rong Nanxi!
Fifty yuan! That's half a month's enlistment allowance for his brother.
Even factory workers, who are now the envy of everyone for their good benefits, would have to save up for two months without eating or drinking to do so. What a joke!
That's outrageous!
Thinking this way, Fu Qingyue disliked Rong Nanxi even more.
She eats and drinks her brother's food every day, and now she's caused this trouble!
Fu Qingyue knew perfectly well that Rong Nanxi would not pay for this money; in the end, it would definitely be her brother who had to pay for it!
Rong Nanxi wasn't one to suffer injustice, so naturally she wouldn't pay: "Impossible!"
Fu Qingyue sneered, "I knew it!"
"Then you can wait for my brother to bring people to arrest you!" Liu Shuhua pulled Rong Nanxi's arm even tighter.
