Zhang Shufang snorted, "Their daughter-in-law is pregnant, so they'll probably just bring Wang Xiulan to town to take care of her."
"However..."
Zhang Shufang thought of last night and became gloating. "Last night, Dong Dafang left by himself carrying a bundle. I saw it. It was probably close to ten o'clock. He turned on a flashlight and left by himself."
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"Wang Xiulan doesn't care anymore? She's his own mother."
Zhang Shufang let out a disdainful laugh, "So what if she's your own mother? Wang Xiulan is so slovenly, she's disliked everywhere she goes. She leaves her excrement and urine in the ground for half a month before emptying it, and she leaves the bowls of food piled up for days before washing them."
"Who could stand this?"
Hearing the unabashed voices outside, Wang Xiulan opened the door, picked up a basin, and started splashing water outside.
"Zhang Shufang, try talking nonsense again!"
Perhaps she still remembered being splashed with excrement and urine; Zhang Shufang had already been splashed with it several times, and now she would dodge at the sight of the basin.
"Wang Xiulan, you damned bastard... I'll tear your mouth apart."
The two of them started fighting right outside Lin Yuxi's courtyard.
Originally, Wang Xiulan's house was only four or five meters away from Lin Yuxi's house; the two households were practically next to each other.
Wang Xiulan was opposite Zhang Shufang, and the two of them couldn't stand each other and were always arguing.
Lin Yuxi was standing in the courtyard watching them fight.
Rural women fights are much simpler; they mostly involve pinching flesh and pulling hair.
Both Zhang Shufang and Wang Xiulan had short hair. Zhang Shufang was obviously faster, grabbing Wang Xiulan's hair and not letting go, and even managing to pinch her breasts.
Wang Xiulan was beaten and cried incessantly on the ground.
Because she was no match for Zhang Shufang at all.
When Cao Wang arrived, he saw Lin Yuxi watching the play, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
“You guys, I spend all day dealing with these trivial matters. If you have all that energy left, use it in the fields instead of wasting it on this kind of thing.”
Zhang Shufang remained silent, while Wang Xiulan pulled Cao Wang aside and cried.
“Village Party Secretary, you have to stand up for me! Zhang Shufang, that gossip, was talking about me behind my back, that's why I couldn't stand it and took action.”
Cao Wang was exasperated, and looking at Lin Yuxi leisurely watching the play in the courtyard, his headache only worsened. Finally, he sighed.
The farce came to an end with Cao Wang's arrival. Just as Lin Yuxi turned to leave, Cao Wang spoke.
"Lin Yuxi, wait a minute... I need to talk to you."
Now that Lin Yuxi has been favored by higher-ups, and the little girl is naive, he has to remind her.
Inside the house, Cao Wang carefully instructed her, "Secretary Xu has been climbing the ladder of power for so many years, you have to be careful in everything you do, and never reveal your secrets."
"It's not that I don't want you to show off, but if you're too flashy, you'll easily become a target. You'd better keep a low profile."
"Otherwise, it will cause you and your family a lot of trouble."
