Xiao Caohua was stunned by the blow. Before she could react, she pounced on her husband's face like a hungry tiger.
In an instant, Cao Dazhu's face turned into a bloody mess.
"You old hag, I've spent my whole life with you, raising children and taking care of the household chores, and you actually hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"
Xiao Caohua's fingernails were like iron brushes, leaving trails of blood wherever they went.
At first, Cao Dazhu could dodge, but later it hurt too much, and he flung his wife far away.
Wang Huaijing and his son, along with Wang Guangzu, and the Zhao family watched the play with their arms crossed.
Seeing the elderly couple fighting each other on the ground, and realizing that they were running out of strength and wanted to stop but were too proud to do so, Zhao Qianci spoke up.
"Oh dear, I really didn't know that there would be a juggling performance on someone else's happy occasion. It's just that the face paint is too ugly. Take him away and wash it off quickly."
Oh dear, I forgot, Huaijing, do you have a place to entertain these actors?
If there are no special preparations, the acrobatic performance is over, and you can just give them a few copper coins to send them away.
The bride and groom already have enough red on them today; there's no need for them to be covered in red all over their faces. It's so disrespectful and disgusting to look at.
"Does Huaijing need any help? Your brother and uncles are all very capable."
Wang Huaijing naturally went along with it, understanding the old man's meaning, and quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncles and brothers-in-law."
Inside the house, Zhao Qingyi and the others also came out.
Zhao Minggeng didn't need anyone else in the family to lift a finger. He grabbed Cao Dazhu by the waistband and carried him towards the gate.
Zhao Qingyi stood condescendingly in front of Xiao Caohua, a half-smile on her face.
"Madam, should I ask you to leave?"
Xiao Caohua endured the pain and scrambled to her feet. "I don't need you to invite me, you little slut. I'll go by myself."
Hmph, what a bunch of ingrates! What a waste of my ten eggs.
If I had known that your family was such a despicable bunch, I would have fed you those ten eggs even if I were feeding them to pigs or dogs.
"They bear the Wang family name, yet they don't respect us at all. I'll have to go to your father's grave and ask them why."
Under Zhao Qingyi's angry glare, Xiao Caohua and the others who had just been thrown out the door by Zhao Qingyi slunk away.
Wang Huaijing clasped his hands in a fist salute again.
"Fellow members of the Wang clan, Huaijing believes that his family is not ungrateful."
Since my stepfather passed away, I have never stopped burning incense and paying respects to him during festivals.
Moreover, my grandmother, as a widow, never set foot in any Wang clan household to seek any help whatsoever.
On the contrary, the clansmen, fearing being taken advantage of, said at their grandfather's grave that since their grandfather had passed away, they had no further connection with the Wang clan.
On the seventh day after my grandfather's death, you all used the excuse that my father was not a descendant of the Wang family to try to seize the family property.
Little did they know that the family property had already been transferred to the second uncle's name by the grandmother when the grandfather fell ill.
My grandmother then separated from my second uncle, while my father and grandmother moved back to the ancestral home left by my grandfather.
Have you all forgotten the scene when you were driven out by your second uncle and maternal grandparents' family when you went to seize the family property?
They keep saying I took the Wang family name from my father, but they don't know that my grandmother's surname was Wang, and my father took my mother's surname. What business is it of yours?
Don't say Huaijing is ungrateful anymore. In your Wang family, Huaijing only has one relative, Second Uncle.
As for the others, they severed all ties with Huaijing's family long ago, when you kicked them while they were down.
Today, since everyone has come, it's just a matter of adding a couple more chopsticks. Huaijing is not a stingy person. In the future, relatives should not visit under the guise of being relatives.
Since we've already said that if the roots are broken, where will the branches come from? So let's truly break it off from today onwards.
The meal has been going on for a while now, and I see that the dishes are almost empty. Please continue eating.
The Zhao brothers stepped forward one by one, each of them towering over the average person by half a head, which was quite intimidating.
One by one, the Wang clan members stood up dejectedly and left the Wang family home amidst the contemptuous or gloating expressions of the crowd.
After an awkward silence, the atmosphere instantly became lively again.
Xi Ge'er came over from the women's table, stood behind Wang Huaijing, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Little brother, you're amazing. But you're still too gentle. Remember when I beat up that Ma Wangcai?"
Sigh, only doing it that way can make me feel better. But my younger brother has achieved academic success, so it's better for his older sister to do this for him.
And that amazing woman just now, was she your sister-in-law? I love her, she's so impressive! Could you introduce us?
That ingratiating expression couldn't be more obvious.
Wang Huaijing frowned, unable to figure out what his stepsister was thinking, but Zhao Qingyi stepped forward.
"Are you Sister Pandi? I'm Zhao Qingyi, Huaijing's fiancée."
Xi Ge'er turned around,
"Oh my, sister-in-law, I've changed my name to Xige'er. Huaijing gave me this name. Does it sound nice?"
You were really amazing just now! You must have practiced kung fu, right? Can I learn from you?
Zhao Qingyi...
Wang Huaijing really wanted to get rid of Xi Ge'er, who was in his way.
Unfortunately, he wasn't even in her sights right now; she was gazing at Zhao Qingyi with eyes full of stars.
"Ahem, um. Why does sister want to learn kung fu? Girls should be virtuous and gentle. Someone like me, apart from Huaijing, probably no one can stand me."
Zhao Qingyi composed herself and asked.
Xi Ge'er twisted her fingers.
"Hey, I just want to learn more kung fu so that if I get married again and end up with a family like Ma Wangcai's, at least I'll have the ability to fight my way out."
Otherwise, do you think I wanted to stay in that crooked family's house? I really couldn't escape before.
Later, in order to become stronger, I chopped firewood every day.
It trains both strength and accuracy.
The whole family was watching you, afraid you'd go out and spread rumors. Even when my mother came to visit me, her family members were eavesdropping under the window.
They were so afraid I'd say anything too much; those days were truly awful.
Wang Huaijing and Zhao Qingyi exchanged a glance, which reminded Wang Huaijing of the time he broke Ma Wangcai's arm with a stick. It turned out that this was all thanks to his sister's wood-chopping skills.
Zhao Qingyi also admired Xi Ge'er quite a bit; she was adaptable and knew how to escape from the mire whenever she found an opportunity.
From a conventional perspective, it's considered unorthodox; from Zhao Qingyi's perspective, it's considered bold.
Zhao Qingyi thought about it for a moment,
“The girls in our family all need to learn some skills. If you want to learn, it’s not impossible, but you’ll need to ask your elders for permission first.”
