Xia Manni had an impression of Zhang Lingzi because when she was chopping Daxiu with a machete that day, Zhang Lingzi praised her knife skills.
Later, when she heard someone next to her calling her Zhang Lingzi, she knew who this person was. Xia Manni had also heard rumors about Zhang Lingzi in the village.
The last time she had contact with her was when Ergouzi and his gang were fighting with Erwa. It was then that she learned that Zhang Lingzi had two children, and the one named Ergouzi was her child.
She didn't think it was a big deal. It was really difficult for a single woman to survive in ancient times. It would be difficult to gain a foothold without being tough.
"I'm here." Zhang Lingzi smiled symbolically and greeted Xia Manni.
Yan Zi saw this and jumped up in anger: "Okay, Zhang Lingzi, why don't you say that Xia Manni is blocking your way? Are you picking on the weak?"
"Yeah, yeah, Zhang Lingzi really went a bit too far."
"I don't think Yan Zi is blocking her."
…
"She is my teammate, who are you?" Zhang Lingzi registered with the teacher and went back with the stick.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to take advantage of this opportunity to seduce men and get more pork." Yan Zi was so angry that she started to talk to Xia Manni. But after she finished speaking, she didn't dare to stay where she was. Instead, she turned around and ran away.
Xia Manni ran a few steps to catch up with her, then reached out and slapped Yan Zi twice. "You're throwing mud at others for something you can't do yourself. Besides being a woman, I'm also a mother. Is it wrong for me to go hunting wild boars for my child? If I hear you spreading rumors about me again, I'll break your teeth."
When Xia Manni was beating Yan Zi, some villagers couldn't stand it and wanted to go up and persuade her, but after hearing what she said, they felt that Xia Manni had some reasons and stopped caring.
Xia Manni ignored Yan Zi and took Da Wa back.
"Mom, why are you holding me?" Da Wa was furious. That woman named Yan Zi was truly a piece of shit. It wasn't enough that she insulted his mother by the river last time, but now she was deliberately picking on him in front of so many people.
Da Wa was so angry that he tried to fight several times but was stopped by Xia Manni.
"Big Wa, she is older than you after all, and she is an unarmed woman. If you take action, public opinion may not be on your side. But it is natural for me to take action, and I am not afraid of what they say. I know you don't care what others say, but this may affect your future." Xia Manni didn't want Big Wa to get involved in these meaningless arguments.
"Mom, can I do it my own way?" Da Wa felt that doing nothing would be unmanly.
Xia Manni was stunned by Da Wa's words, then she smiled and said, "Okay, Da Wa, you've grown up now, you can do whatever you want, but you must remember not to get involved in wars between women."
Da Wa nodded as if he understood, but what his mother said did not affect his revenge. He must avenge his mother.
When the two returned home, Erwa, Sanwa and Sinier had already prepared dinner. The village chief had decided that they would gather at the village entrance to hunt wild boars after lunch.
Xia Manni told the news to Erwa, Sanwa and Sinier. None of them had any objections. What surprised Xia Manni was that Erwa didn't make a fuss about going with them this time.
"Erwa, where is your eldest brother?" After Xia Manni had packed up, she found that she couldn't find Dawa.
The eldest boy is usually punctual. Since he knows that he will go hunting wild boars soon, he will definitely not run around.
"Mom, I'm back." The eldest boy ran back panting, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
In this weather, I won’t sweat even if I cover myself with a thick blanket. I don’t know where this child has gone.
"Bang, bang, bang... Gather..." The sound of gongs could be heard at the village entrance. Xia Manni suppressed her doubts and said, "Let's go quickly. Grab your weapons."
Xia Manni had a machete on her waist and a stick in her hand.
"Erwa, you and Tudou, keep an eye on your brother and sister. Don't run around. We'll be back soon."
Erwa: How come I am on the same level as potatoes?
But Erwa didn't dare to say it out loud, and instead said obediently: "I know, mother, you can go without worry, I will take good care of Sanwa and Sinier."
Xia Manni took one last look at the three children and left with the eldest child.
"Ah, stop hitting me, stop hitting me... I don't know anything..."
"You still say you don't know, but you stole people into my house. How shameless!"
As Xia Manni and Dawa were walking, they heard the sound of a man beating a woman coming from a house. It sounded like the woman was cheating on the man.
"Big boy, whose house is this?"
Xia Manni felt that she seemed to have heard that woman's voice somewhere before, but the voice seemed to be trembling with fear, making it difficult for her to hear clearly.
"Mom, I don't know whose family this is. Let's go quickly." Da Wa pulled Xia Manni and kept persuading her to leave quickly.
"Who else could it be? That shameless Yan Zi. Have you forgotten that she scolded you just now?" At this time, Zhang Lingzi had already walked to Xia Manni's side, and she heard everything she said to Da Wa just now.
Xia Manni didn't say anything. She seemed to have thought of something and then looked at Da Wa, who was walking in front without looking back.
"Who said it wasn't true? Yan Zi still has the nerve to say that about you. Today her husband actually discovered that she was cheating on him. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's going to beat her half to death."
"Oh, now it's useless to give birth to a child."
Cui Yanzi is usually arrogant in the village. Relying on her family's property and the fact that she has given birth to a child, she keeps showing off and finding fault everywhere, thus offending many people.
This incident happened just as they were going up the mountain to hunt wild boars, and Cui Yanzi suddenly became a topic as important as hunting wild boars.
"Okay, okay, let's not discuss anything else. Now that everyone is here, let's set off." Xia Manni looked at the wild boar hunting team. There were six hunters in total, and the rest, except her and Zhang Lingzi, were all strong men.
Xia Manni deliberately lagged behind the crowd. She gently pulled Da Wa beside her and said, "Dada, don't you have anything to say to Mom?"
Da Wa had originally wanted to stay away from Xia Manni, fearing his mother would question him. But he couldn't avoid it, and what was coming finally came.
"Mom, I was wrong." Da Wa lowered his head and apologized as he walked.
It was indeed him.
Xia Manni did not have sufficient evidence. After all, Cui Yanzi's affair was not something that an ordinary person could plan.
I didn't expect that she just found a deserted place and tricked her out.
