"Brother, the vegetables here are almost harvested. Go outside for a bit... Remember, don't do anything unless absolutely necessary."
Yu Chengyuan whispered in his elder brother's ear.
Yu Pingan nodded solemnly, asking his father and the village chief to help watch over the harvesting of vegetables, while he turned around and secretly left the courtyard.
At this time, it was just beginning to get light, and the thin morning light could only make out the scene within three meters in front of one's eyes. Anything beyond that was a blur.
Yu Pingan seemed to see a white figure, and upon closer inspection, the figure seemed to be Wang Chunyan.
His heart tightened, and he quickened his pace to catch up.
Li Hehua walked for a while, panting heavily, because she was carrying a basket of vegetables on her back, the heavy burden making it hard for her to straighten her back.
It's quite a long way from the old house to my home!
Thinking about how she had been slapped twice and hit with a stick, she became angrier and angrier. As she passed by the river, she decided to rest for a while before going back.
Li Hehua unloaded the vegetable basket, then squatted down by the river to wash her face. The movement of her hands pulled on the muscles in her back, causing a dull ache.
She spat into the river with a spit, then sat down on a large rock by the river to rest.
He started cursing, "That damned cripple thinks he's something special just because he has his aunt Pan Cuilian and his two bastards Yu Chengyuan and Yu Ping'an as his backers."
No matter how great those two idiots in the Yu family are, they can't compare to her son, Erbao, who's good with a pen.
Those two bastards, when my Da Bao and Er Bao come back, I'll make them avenge me.
"Who gave you permission to bully me?"
"And that wretched jinx Wang Chunyan, she thinks she's something special just because she's a little pretty."
No matter how beautiful she is, no man dares to marry her.
Only a cripple like Pan Qiufeng, who couldn't find a wife, would be interested in her.
At least she's a woman, so there's no problem with her carrying on the family line. It's better than not being able to find a wife at all.
And that village chief, he's blind, helping that jinxed, vixen-like woman.
Wang Chunyan stood behind listening to these words, wondering if the young man who saved her was lame. How come she didn't notice, or was she just not paying attention?
However, it's really unacceptable for Li Hehua to hide here and hurl insults without restraint.
She cursed almost all of them.
Yu Pingan, who followed, saw Wang Chunyan standing behind Li Hehua, seemingly listening attentively to something.
Puzzled, Chunyan had just told them not to make things difficult for Li Hehua, so why was she following Li Hehua herself?
Could it be that they didn't want the village chief to take action, fearing it would give them cause for gossip?
They didn't want to cause trouble for the village chief.
After all, making a big fuss about this wouldn't do Wang Chunyan any good for her reputation.
Whether the rumors spread by Li Hehua are true or not, some villagers will always believe them.
Not everyone takes the time to truly understand people; what they see is mostly superficial.
Wang Chunyan probably wanted to resolve the matter herself, believing it to be a matter between her and Li Hehua.
Yu Pingan thought that it was very likely that her guess was correct; she was indeed a strong and independent woman.
So he decided to observe first and not reveal himself.
Let the two women discover that they are being followed.
Li Hehua cursed at the air for several minutes before getting up to go home.
As she got up, she cursed again: "That heartless Yu Sanzhu, he hasn't been back for so long and didn't even bother to come looking for me. Doesn't he care if I get bullied?"
She turned around and saw Wang Chunyan standing behind her. Startled, she took a step back and almost fell into the river.
Wang Chunyan grabbed her, then pulled her by the hair and dragged her to a large lawn by the river.
"Li Hehua, you shrew, you never say a clean word!"
I'm going to teach you a lesson today!
Your mouth smells so bad, aren't you afraid of offending others?
Wang Chunyan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she increased the pressure on her hands.
Li Hehua's scalp ached from being pulled. "Ouch! You damned woman, you vixen, let go of me!"
She struggled as she tried to reach out and grab Wang Chunyan.
Wang Chunyan wasn't about to let her get away with it. She forcefully flung Li Hehua to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she straddled Li Hehua and slapped her repeatedly across the face.
"I'll let you curse, I'll let you spew filth!"
Li Hehua was so dizzy from the beating that she was still cursing under her breath.
Wang Chunyan simply took off her shoe and slapped Li Hehua's mouth hard with the sole, saying, "I'll teach you a lesson so that your stinking mouth will stop spouting nonsense!"
Let me tell you, just because I don't usually want to cause trouble doesn't mean I'm afraid of it.
“My family dislikes me, and the villagers dislike me, but I have nothing to say about it.”
But if you dare to slander me by accusing me of having affairs with other men and ruining my reputation, I cannot tolerate it.
"We are all women, why should women make things difficult for each other?"
Don't forget that you also have a married daughter. If you spread rumors about me again, I'll go outside and spread salacious rumors about your daughter.
Do you believe it or not?
"I'm all alone anyway, and I have nothing to lose. Your daughter, on the other hand, has a husband and children."
So listen up, if I hear any more of this nonsense...
I'll repay you double.
Wang Chunyan spoke each word carefully.
Li Hehua's mouth was bleeding from the blow, and she began to sob, "Miss Chunyan, Grandma Chunyan, I won't do it again, I won't do it again, please forgive me."
"Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, I'll be too ashamed to show my face in public!"
