Chapter 124 A Woman's Face Is Hard to Hit
Chen Feng stood behind her eldest brother, holding the child, and said, "Brother, I didn't."
"Hmph, you still know how to call me 'brother,' which means you're not completely out of your mind." Chen Xiang looked at Chen Feng with a half-smile. "Come on, put the child down inside, and I'll forgive you."
"..." Chen Feng shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have come today.
Every time she went back to her parents' home, she would bring back good things, and her mother would give them to her eldest brother's family. Her mother would also ask her for money.
I didn't understand before, and I thought that since I got money from my eldest son, giving it to my parents was a way of being filial.
But seeing the look in her father's eyes today, she realized that even if she stood on her parents' side today, she would inevitably get a beating after the Jiang family left.
They would think he was a disgrace, and then find him a husband from a very, very far away family so that her brother could make money again.
"I'm going to get some water. I'll deal with you later." Chen Xiang gave her a cold look and slowly turned around.
The eldest brother glanced at Chen Feng and pulled her to the middle.
"What? Ah Feng's in-laws are here to cause trouble?"
"How ridiculous! Do you think we, the people of Chenjiazhuangzi, are easy to bully? Let's go, let's go take a look."
"Bring the shovels and hoes, and even the axes and machetes. I want to see if those Jiang family bastards will wet their pants."
"So what if they wet their pants? We'll scare them so much they'll cry 'Grandpa' and crawl between our legs!"
"Hahaha, that's right. How dare that family of orphans and widows come looking for trouble? They're really asking for trouble. Don't they know how many legs our Chen family has lost?"
"They're courting death. If I don't beat them to their knees and beg for mercy today, I'm not a Chen."
...
People arrived one after another, chatting and laughing, carrying their heavy loads from all directions.
The fourth son was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He tugged at Song Chunxue's sleeve and said, "Mother, what should we do? Why didn't you say that the Chen family was so numerous and powerful? We've stirred up a wolf's den!"
"Damn it, they're still carrying saws. They really don't want to leave us any way out." Seeing more and more people coming into the open space outside the courtyard gate, the fourth brother was so anxious that his voice started to cry.
Song Chunxue stood there, initially very frightened.
But as more and more people saw them, they suddenly stopped being afraid.
If three or five people came, it would be fine; they might get a beating and crawl back in a sorry state.
But they happened to send twenty or thirty people, all of whom were young and strong men.
Song Chunxue smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If they dare to lay a finger on us today, I'll make them regret it to the core."
"Huh?" The fourth brother looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Let's not be stubborn at this time. If it really comes down to it, let's run away. It's not shameful. Survival is the most important thing."
Sanwa chimed in, "We absolutely can't leave now. We shouldn't argue with them or invite a fight. In a situation like this, crying is wiser than running away."
"What?" The fourth brother's eyes widened. "How can I, a dignified man, cry? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. You might as well just kill me!"
Sanwa stood ramrod straight, his expression unchanged, and said, "I won't cry either."
"So, you two mean to make me cry?" Song Chunxue crossed her arms. "But I don't want to cry. I didn't cry when my parents died."
"..." The third brother and the fourth brother exchanged a glance.
Of course they wouldn't cry. They remembered their mother saying that she was less than two years old when her parents died.
Where is Chen Feng?
The eldest brother was extremely nervous, his palms were sweating, but when he turned around, he found that Chen Feng and the child were gone.
They were immediately startled and looked up at the group of Chen Guangcai and Chen Xiang, but Chen Feng was nowhere to be seen.
That woman wouldn't be stupid enough to take her child to the Chen family and turn the tables on them, would she?
"She's probably scared and hid. I didn't see her enter the yard, don't worry." Sanwa's calm voice still betrayed a hint of panic. "Mother, what should we do?"
Song Chunxue stood still, watching Chen Guangcai walk up to her.
With his hands behind his back and his neck stiff, Chen Guangcai sneered, "So, want to outnumber me?"
Song Chunxue met his gaze without flinching.
"Didn't you want to reason with me? There are so many people watching now. Go ahead and tell me what you have to say."
Song Chunxue touched her lower back.
Following her movements, Sanwa noticed that something seemed to be pinned under her wide, button-down jacket.
"You said it yourself. You had Chen Feng plant a harmful talisman in their room, making my eldest son like a puppet, doing whatever Chen Feng tells him to do..."
"Smack!"
Song Chunxue's cheeks burned.
Chen Guangcai laughed loudly, "Go on, keep going."
Overwhelmed with rage, she felt a surge of heat rising up her back and straight to the top of her head.
"You son of a bitch..."
Sanwa and Lao Si were about to rush forward.
Song Chunxue stretched out her arm to stop them, "Don't move!"
Sanwa and Lao Si, their faces red and necks thick, glared fiercely at Chen Guangcai.
"Chen Guangcai..." The eldest brother was also annoyed and stepped forward to curse.
"Shut up!" Song Chunxue shouted coldly, turning to look at the boss.
The eldest brother suddenly froze, a chill ran down his spine, and he stopped as if rooted to the spot.
A burst of snickers erupted from the crowd outside the Chen family's courtyard. They formed a circle, watching the farce from a distance, like a pack of wolves eyeing a lamb.
Song Chunxue smiled and said, "Sure, you hit me. Chen Guangcai, you just hit me."
"Yeah, I can slap you, believe it or not?" Chen Guangcai said, raising his hand to scare Song Chunxue.
Seeing the three children behind her about to attack, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.
The next moment, Song Chunxue kicked him in the groin with all her might, and quickly drew a short knife from her waist and held it to Chen Guangcai's neck.
This series of actions happened in an instant, so fast that the children didn't even have time to react.
They gasped in shock when Chen Guangcai clutched his groin and groaned in pain, and when a bloody gash appeared on its neck.
Sanwa: "Mother..."
Fourth brother: "How could this be..."
Boss: "..."
Those watching the spectacle suddenly realized something was wrong.
Someone shouted, "That widow has a knife!"
"Kill her!" someone shouted again.
A large group of people suddenly rushed over.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him!"
Song Chunxue grabbed Chen Guangcai by the neck. Because Chen Guangcai was in pain and half-kneeling on the ground, she also knelt down on one knee and stood behind him, pressing the short knife hard against his neck and increasing the force.
Her three sons standing behind her looked at each other in bewilderment.
I never expected my mother to bring a knife.
They even foolishly took sticks.
It turns out that Mother had been planning to burn her bridges all along.
"Don't come any closer!" Chen Guangcai exclaimed, stretching out his hands, his eyes bloodshot. "This woman really dares to attack."
"Ha, do you think a woman's face is so easy to slap?"
Song Chunxue glared menacingly at Chen Xiang, who was charging towards her. "If you dare to lay a hand on him, I'll finish him off today. I've been wanting to get rid of this old bastard for a long time."
"How dare you!" Chen Xiang's eyes turned bloodshot with rage. "Let go of my father."
At this moment, a person climbed up the slope and arrived at the entrance of the field.
"Song Chunxue, what's wrong with you?" A man in his forties asked anxiously, his legs bent over. "Lord Xie is here! Put the knife down at once!"
