"Ouch... Oh my god..." Zhang San grimaced in pain. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently touched the corner of his mouth. He immediately gasped, "Hiss... It hurts so damn much!"
The surroundings were dead silent, a pin drop audible, with only Zhang San's breath being distinctly heard. Everyone was so stunned by Chen Xiaoru's sudden ferocity that they dared not even breathe.
The midday sun shone fiercely on the ground, as if it was going to burn everything to a crisp. The air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.
"Just you wait!" Zhang San struggled to his feet, pointing at Chen Xiaoru and Chen Laizi, and yelled in a timid manner. Blood still clung to the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Chen Xiaoru put her hands on her hips and glared back without showing any weakness, her voice rising eight octaves: "Come on! Who's afraid of who? You didn't even ask who I am when you were out in public, and you dared to come up and act wildly? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
Seeing this, a skinny lackey behind Zhang San quickly leaned over to his ear and whispered in a low voice with a hint of fear, "Boss, this... this woman is the town bully, Chen Xiaoru. No one dares to mess with her! Even our gambling house owner got beaten up by her. We have to avoid her when we see her! If the brothers had run into this woman when they were looking for Chen Laizi to collect debts, they would have run away immediately, otherwise... otherwise they would have been beaten to a pulp!"
Zhang San was furious when he heard this. He kicked the lackey on the butt and cursed, "You bastard! Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me get beaten up like this!"
In my mind: Damn, I really didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I've hit a brick wall! This bitch is so fucking ruthless! But a good man never suffers a loss in front of him, so it's better to run away first!
The surroundings were still quiet, and the sun made people's skin hot, as if it was going to roast them to death.
After Zhang San finished cursing, he turned around and walked away quickly without looking back. He was determined to fight and run away if he couldn't win, and he would never fight to the end.
When those lackeys saw Zhang San slipping away, they immediately reacted and ran away like rabbits, fearing that they would be caught by Chen Xiaoru and end up like Zhang San.
The crowd watching the excitement around gradually dispersed when they saw that there was nothing more to watch, and each went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
Chen Xiaoru didn't care about these things. She stared at Chen Laizi.
Chen Laizi felt his heart tremble at the look in his daughter's eyes. His legs retreated uncontrollably and he stammered, "My...my daughter, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't...don't use violence..."
He was really afraid of Chen Xiaoru. That fist was no joke. He loved and feared her.
Every time Chen Laizi took a step back, Chen Xiaoru took a step closer, pressing him harder and harder.
"Speak!" Chen Xiaoru spat out two words coldly, crossing her arms across her chest, looking like she was interrogating a prisoner.
The surroundings were completely quiet, with only the sound of Chen Laizi's heavy breathing, which sounded like a broken bellows.
"My...my daughter, what are you saying?" Chen Laizi's eyes were evasive, not daring to look directly at Chen Xiaoru. His voice became smaller and smaller, revealing a sense of guilt.
Chen Xiaoru snorted coldly and pressed forward step by step, forcing Chen Laizi's back almost to the wall.
"What do you think? Yesterday, mother said that you took all the money from home. Do you know what I ate when I got home yesterday? Huh?" Chen Xiaoru said this with an upward tone at the end, which was full of threat. At the same time, she moved her wrists, and the joints made a "cracking" sound.
The sunlight shining on Chen Xiaoru's face, which was slightly distorted by anger, made her look even more imposing.
Chen Laizi shuddered with fear. He knew his daughter too well. This was clearly a sign of violence! He quickly waved his hands, his voice trembling, "I... I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. My daughter... you... you let me go this time..."
Chen Xiaoru looked at Chen Laizi's terrified expression, and her originally tense face relaxed. She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to gamble away all the family money next time, you're done! I'll dig a hole for you in advance and bury you alive!"
She paused, her tone softening slightly, but still threatening: "Although you are my father, it is not right to do this, but if you do it again..."
"I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore!" Chen Laizi waved his hands without waiting for Chen Xiaoru to finish, shaking his head like a rattle, his voice filled with tears, "My girl, I promise, there will definitely not be a next time!" Are you kidding me? With your stubborn character, you are not joking when you say you will bury me. It might really be possible. How dare I disobey? I have to be timid!
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chen Xiaoru out of the corner of his eye, fearing that she would be unhappy and start fighting again.
Seeing how cowardly he was, Chen Xiaoru nodded with satisfaction, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.
Seeing this, Chen Laizi finally let go of his worries and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he had just walked through the gates of hell.
Chen Laizi looked at the large and small bags in his hands and immediately put on a fawning smile. He came forward and said in a flattering manner, "Hey, girl, why did you buy so many things? How much did it cost?"
My daughter bought so many things, and I don’t know what’s in them. I wonder if she bought any gifts for me, Chen Laizi was imagining in his mind.
Chen Xiaoru glanced at him and said unhappily, "There's nothing left at home. Are you going to starve to death if you don't buy something? I don't mind, but there are two people at home. I can't let them starve too!"
"Yes, yes, my daughter is right. It was Dad who was inconsiderate. Dad was wrong. Please don't be angry." Chen Laizi nodded and said in a flattering manner, fearing that Chen Xiaoru would be unhappy and give him another "love education".
