Chapter 76 Sparring Sandbag
Just as he opened his arms to pounce on Xie Wanniang, Xie Wanniang swung a wooden stick and struck him hard on the temple.
In desperation, Wang Sanhu also tried to dodge, but Xie Wanniang still knocked his head until it was ringing.
The pain made Wang Sanhu sway twice, but it relieved his lustful state.
Once he regained his footing, Wang Sanhu, seeing stars, was about to teach Xie Wanniang a lesson when Xie Wanniang struck first, delivering three powerful blows to his vital areas—neck, groin, and knees.
Wang Sanhu's arms were shorter than the stick, so it was impossible for him to turn around and beat Xie Wanniang. So he dodged while trying to snatch the stick from Xie Wanniang's hand.
However, Xie Wanniang was very agile, and he not only failed to dodge properly, but also failed to catch the stick even once.
Wang Sanhu was so angry that he jumped up and down. If he wasn't afraid that his cursing would disturb Chen Lizheng's second son next door, he would have sworn that he would have used every foul language he knew to curse Xie Wanniang, that wicked woman.
Xie Wanniang didn't care what he thought. She always kept the pig-slaughtering knife in her sleeve in her left hand for emergencies, and the stick in her right hand became her only weapon for hitting people.
It was a good opportunity for her to test the results of her learning over the past six months and see how much progress and achievements her hard work in training during the hottest and coldest days of summer and winter had made in martial arts.
Xie Wanniang was having a good time beating people, while Wang Sanhu, whom she was using as a sparring partner, lost his mind in pain after about fifteen minutes. He started howling in pain and cursing Xie Wanniang with foul language.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Moqin, the second son of Chen Lizheng next door, moved a ladder and climbed over the wall to find out what was going on. He then saw Xie Wanniang, whom he remembered as a delicate and frail girl, chasing after Wang Sanhu with great energy.
"Hiss—" He gasped. No, this girl wasn't this fierce before.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, his wife Zheng Xiaoyan, who was helping him hold the ladder, asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Moqin leaned against the wall and said, "That bastard Wang Sanhu ran to Uncle Hao's house and is being chased and beaten by Miss Xie with a long wooden stick right now."
Deng Xiaoyan: ? ? ?
Deng Xiaoyan: !!!
"He must have climbed over the wall to get in!" Deng Xiaoyan said anxiously. "That bastard, I heard before that he planned to take Miss Xie to his house and force her to stay and be his wife."
She looked up at her husband and said, "You climb over the wall and help Miss Xie tie this bastard up. I'll go call our father right now."
Chen Moqin nodded, "Then you can hold the ladder up for me."
He climbed up the wall, sat down, and then stretched out his arms to pull the ladder up.
With Deng Xiaoyan exerting force on the ground, the two of them easily moved the ladder up the wall into Hao Yu's yard.
Chen Moqin set up the ladder and climbed down the wall, while Deng Xiaoyan hurried off to call her father-in-law.
Knowing that Wang Xiaozhi's in-laws were dividing their property today, she naturally guessed that Chen Lizheng must be at Chen Zhao's house at this time.
The young wife ran out angrily to look for someone, but unexpectedly, Wang Sanhu's parents and brothers lined up and blocked the road completely.
None of them ever dreamed that Wang Sanhu couldn't even handle Xie Wanniang.
They were waiting for him to steal Hao Yu and Jiang Yuan's money first, and then open the door to carry out their next plan. However, Wang Sanhu was discovered by Xie Wanniang while he was stealing the money.
Before he went in, didn't they all tell him to be careful and to make his move when Xie Wanniang wasn't paying attention? How could he still be discovered by Xie Wanniang?
They didn't want Deng Xiaoyan to go to Chen Lizheng, but they didn't dare to lay a hand on Chen Lizheng's daughter-in-law, otherwise they wouldn't have just blocked the road.
Seeing them blocking her way, Deng Xiaoyan understood everything. It turned out that their family wasn't just full of scoundrels like Wang Sanhu, but the whole family were scoundrels!
Deng Xiaoyan shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"
The three remained motionless. Although they were panicking and unsure of what to do next, they instinctively knew that it was best not to escalate the situation.
Deng Xiaoyan was so angry that she was panting heavily. "Can't you understand human language? Get out of my way right now, or don't blame me for saying some harsh words."
She was also a girl who grew up in the countryside, and she knows how to swear.
Tan Xinghua, Wang Sanhu's mother, forced a stiff smile. "Xiao Yan, why are you so angry? We..."
Deng Xiaoyan didn't give her a chance to stall for time, "Stop talking nonsense to me, just tell me if you're going to let me pass or not!"
The three remained silent, but in their hearts they all thought the same thing: Of course, they couldn't give in.
Deng Xiaoyan was furious. After thinking for a moment, she decided to simply not take the village road. She refused to believe that these people would chase after her and try to stop her if she crossed the field ridge.
However, she had only turned around and run a few steps when other villagers who heard the noise came out to see what had happened and started asking her questions one after another.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Yan, what did you just shout?"
Upon spotting Wang Sanhu's parents and brothers, someone instinctively asked them, "Why are you all at the end of the village? Did you bully Xiaoyan?"
This is the village head's daughter-in-law! How dare they offend even her? Does this family not want to live in the village anymore?
Tan Xinghua dared not take the blame. She waved her hand forcefully, "Don't talk nonsense, we haven't offended her."
Deng Xiaoyan stopped and turned around, saying to the villagers standing behind the Wang family, "Whoever runs fast, go to my fifth uncle's house and call my father and Jiang Yuan. Tell them that Wang Sanhu climbed over the wall into Uncle Hao's house to steal money and was beaten by Miss Xie."
Wang Er instinctively retorted, "My Sanhu didn't steal any money!"
Deng Xiaoyan rolled her eyes. "Then what was he doing climbing over the wall to Uncle Hao's house? Don't tell me he went there to bully Miss Xie. If he really had that kind of intention, then our Mingfu Village won't tolerate him."
Apart from a very small number of elderly people living alone, every household in their village has daughters or daughters-in-law who are teenagers or in their twenties.
If Wang Sanhu can climb over the wall and bully Xie Wanniang today, he will naturally be able to climb over the wall and bully their eldest daughter and young wife in the future.
Deng Xiaoyan believed that the villagers would not want such a rotten scoundrel to stay in the village any longer.
Wang Eryou was clearly aware of this as well, and he hurriedly waved his hands vigorously, "No, no, Sanhu, he..."
After much deliberation, Wang Eryou still couldn't come up with a plausible reason for climbing over the wall that would prevent Wang Sanhu from being severely punished by the village head.
His wife, Tan Xinghua, was extremely anxious. After racking her brains for a long time, she finally managed to say, "Sanhu suspects that Jiang Yuan stole our Wang family's things back then, so he was thinking of searching his house to see if he could find any evidence."
