"Waaah, Mother, if you don't come soon, your daughter will die here." Lin Zhaozhao was a natural beauty. Even with blood on her face, she had a cruel and broken beauty, like a white rose soaked in crimson. Plus, the angle was perfect, and her crying looked like a pear blossom in the rain.
“My husband’s body was barely cold when they came to steal the compensation money he had earned with his life. I was outnumbered and powerless. Even after I gave it to them, they were still not satisfied. They even tried to steal the jade stones my husband left me. When I refused, they grabbed me and slammed my head against the corner of the table.”
"Bullshit! It was clearly you, you little whore, who bumped into it yourself, and you're trying to pin this on me." Xu Juanzi was easily provoked and spoke without thinking. In just a few words, she confirmed the truth of what Lin Zhaozhao said, and Li Zhong couldn't stop her.
"Yangyang, protect your second sister." Li Xiujuan pushed Lin Zhaozhao into Lin Yangyang's arms, rolled up her sleeves, and kicked Xu Juanzi. "You two-faced old whore, you've eaten your conscience. You're all sweet talk to her, but behind her back you treat Zhaobao like this."
"You're greedy for Li Jue's pension. Back then, it was Li Zhong who was conscripted. If it weren't for Li Jue taking his place, Li Zhong would be the one dead now. They say a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, but you're the ones who eat from the bowl and then curse the cook. Not only are you stealing Li Jue's pension, but you also want to kill Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao is carrying Li Jue's child. Your Li family is doing this to harm Zhao Bao because you want Li Jue to have no successor."
"You ungrateful wretch! Today I'll get justice for Li Jue and Zhao Bao!" Li Xiujuan grabbed a large broom that was leaning against the wall and started hitting Li Zhong and Xu Juanzi. Faced with absolute force, nothing else mattered. Li Zhong and Xu Juanzi covered their heads and ran away, begging for mercy.
"Lin Zhaozhao is a very patient person. To force her to complain to her family, it seems that Li Zhong and Xu Juanzi really went too far this time."
“That’s for sure. The last time Li Jue’s mother-in-law made a move, Lin Zhaozhao didn’t step in to stop her.”
"Xu Juanzi is really biased to the extreme. For Li Zhong's sake, she is driving Lin Zhaozhao to her death."
“Xu Juanzi and Li Zhong are heartless. Li Jue was conscripted just half a year ago, and Lin Zhaozhao moved from the brick house to the thatched house. The brick house had four rooms.”
"Serves her right. She just picks on the weak. People are completely disheartened now. Let's see who Xu Juanzi can pick on next."
The villagers watching sighed in dismay. Some even brought a basin of hot water from their homes to wipe Lin Zhaozhao's face when she was in such a miserable state. Of course, most of them looked at Li Zhong and his mother, who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy with burning eyes.
In Lijia Village, everyone has suffered at Xu Juanzi's hands. She's brainless and difficult to deal with; you're lucky if you don't get skinned alive after being ripped out. Now that someone is helping to vent their anger, they'd rather go hungry than miss out on the outcome.
"Mother-in-law, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I will never dare to do it again."
"Stop! If you don't stop, I'll report you to the authorities."
"Go on, when the others come over I'll have a go at you two for robbing property and persecuting Zhao Bao." Li Xiujuan was about to catch her breath, but Li Zhong interrupted her like this, so she increased the force, aiming straight at his face. Li Zhong's nose bled, and there were chicken droppings left by the broom stick.
"What's going on? Everyone's gathered here having a fit. Go do what you're supposed to do." The commotion caused by the Li family was too big. Li Fuchong, the village head, who came after hearing the news, first dispersed the villagers who were watching the commotion, and then turned to Li Xiujuan. "Mother-in-law, it's really a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple. We're all family. What can't we talk about?"
Li Fuchong subtly accused Li Xiujuan of being barbaric, but Liu Xiujuan scoffed and showed no mercy, revealing everything that Xu Juanzi and Li Zhong had done.
Li Fuchong cursed the fool inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. "Mother-in-law, you can't just listen to one side of the story."
