"What are you doing?!"

Ling Jiang placed the remaining trinkets at home on the dining table one by one. Wei Qiaolan carefully selected each one. Suddenly, Zhu Hongping's angry roar came from behind them, which scared both of them.

When he saw it was Zhu Hongping, Ling Jiang quickly put down what he was holding and went out to greet her in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"

Zhu Hongping glared, "Why am I here? Are you blaming me for coming at the wrong time? Are you blaming me for ruining your good thing?"

Ling Jiang was originally a dull man. He did not understand Zhu Hongping's hidden meaning for a while. He thought Zhu Hongping was talking about business matters, so he hurriedly explained: "Mom, how can your coming here ruin anything? It won't hurt anything..."

Hearing his son-in-law say this, Zhu Hongping was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire.

"Well, Mr. Ling, your fox tail is finally exposed! My daughter has been working like a cow and a horse for you for so many years since she married you. She has been working hard and bearing children for you without complaint. We have finally paid off our debts and our life is a little better. But you want a divorce after a few quarrels. You also follow the example of those stinky men outside and have ulterior motives, bringing in women of questionable character to live at home.

"Ling, do you have any conscience? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"

After being pointed at and scolded by Zhu Hongping, Ling Jiang finally realized that his mother-in-law had misunderstood him and Wei Qiaolan, and he quickly explained: "Mom, this is Boss Wei, she came here with me to do business..."

"Bah! What a crap business! I think it's a sex trade!"

After scolding his son-in-law Ling Jiang, Zhu Hongping turned his attention to Wei Qiaolan who came out of the house, "You vixen, you shameless bitch, you can't find a man, right? So you come here to seduce other people's men, you bitch..."

Zhu Hongping's ability to curse in the streets was well-known in the surrounding area. The reason why people in Lijia Village were afraid of her was because of her mouth. She could curse for three days and three nights without stopping, and she would never repeat herself.

Wei Qiaolan was a boss after all, so how could she tolerate such groundless slander and insults?

"Oh, this is a butt growing on the face, it just sprays shit when it opens its mouth, it stinks..."

"You bastard, you dare to talk back? I will teach you a lesson today..."

Zhu Hongping was used to being aggressive and had never lost a fight in the village. When she heard Wei Qiaolan cursing back at her, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to fight with her.

Wei Qiaolan was a delicate and tender city woman, so she was no match for Zhu Hongping, a rural woman who had to work in the fields, and she soon fell behind.

Everything happened so fast that Ling Jiang had no time to get a word in before she saw her husband's mother and Boss Wei fighting.

He rushed forward to try to stop the fight, but couldn't do anything.

Women don't fight like men do, where you punch me and I punch you. Women pull each other's hair, clothes, and scratch their faces, just like they are entangled with vines.

Zhu Hongping was used to farming and had plenty of strength. He grasped Wei Qiaolan's hair with one hand and used the other hand to caress Wei Qiaolan's face and body.

Wei Qiaolan was beaten so badly that she had no strength to fight back and could only scream continuously.

The Ling family's movements soon attracted neighbors to come and watch the fun.

Finally, with the help of several neighbors, Ling Jiang was able to separate his mother-in-law and Wei Qiaolan.

Although both of them looked very embarrassed, Zhu Hongping only had his hair and clothes a little messy, and there was no injury on his body.

Wei Qiaolan was in a miserable state. A large amount of her hair was pulled out, her face and neck were covered with bloodstains, and the corners of her mouth were broken. It was a horrible sight.

Looking at the miserable Wei Qiaolan, Zhu Hongping was as proud as a victorious rooster, and kept cursing at her.

The police arrived quickly, but it was not Wei Qiaolan who called them, but some curious people who came to watch the fun and called the police.

As soon as she saw the police, Wei Qiaolan felt like she had seen a savior, and indignantly accused Zhu Hongping of beating people.

The fight was neither a minor nor a serious matter, and Wei Qiaolan had only suffered minor skin injuries. If she had maintained a positive attitude, accepted the criticism and education from the police, admitted their mistakes to each other, shook hands and made peace, the matter would have been over.

Unfortunately, Zhu Hongping is an uneducated person who is ignorant of the law. He does not realize that his behavior has crossed the legal red line. Instead, he is complacent about winning the fight.

"I'm going to hit you. Let's see if you dare to seduce other men again, you shameless slut..."

Wei Qiaolan was not an ignorant woman like Zhu Hongping who did not understand the law. She explained her identity and grievances to the police in a wronged manner.

“I’m a serious businessman and I opened a jewelry store on Wutong Street. I heard from my sister that Brother Ling had a batch of nice trinkets, so I came here to pick up the goods.

We were talking when this old woman came in and started yelling at me, calling me a vixen and a slut, and saying I seduced her son-in-law. She even beat me up like this. Police comrades, I want to report the case and sue her!"

After hearing what Wei Qiaolan said, Zhu Hongping was startled and immediately retorted stubbornly: "You have the mouth on your body, so of course you can say whatever you want. Public Security comrades, don't believe her. Look at the skirt she is wearing. No decent person would wear something so fancy. It's like she's afraid that others don't know she's a slut."

"What's wrong with me wearing a skirt? Who said you can't wear a skirt on the street?"

"You are shameless for following a man home in a skirt like this!"

The police stopped the quarrel between the two and turned to ask Ling Chuan.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Ling Chuan told the whole story without hiding anything, and it was basically the same as what Wei Qiaolan said.

Before Ling Jiang could finish his words, Zhu Hongping jumped up and down and yelled, "You're lying. You and that vixen are clearly having an affair. When I came in, you two were hugging each other and were about to take off your clothes!"

In fact, Zhu Hongping might not be unaware that she might have misunderstood her son-in-law, but she had already scolded him and beaten him. Now she was in a position of humiliation and could not get off the stage any more. She could only accuse her son-in-law of having an affair with this woman at home.

Hearing that Zhu Hongping had falsely accused him in public, the honest Ling Jiang was so angry that his face turned red.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm discussing business with Boss Wei at home, how can you talk nonsense?"

"Talk about business? Can't we talk about business outside? Why do you have to bring her home? You are a man and a woman, and who knows what dirty things you are doing behind closed doors!"

Ling Jiang was so angry that he was shaking all over.

He had been down-to-earth and hardworking for half his life, and had always respected Zhu Hongping as a relative and elder, but the other party deliberately put the blame on him.

This will not only ruin his reputation, but also cut off his livelihood. Who will dare to do business with him in the future?

At this time, Ling Jiang still had some hope for Zhu Hongping, and he advised earnestly: "Mom, it's okay for us to quarrel and say a few angry words among family members, but now in front of the police and outsiders, this is not a joke. You can't say nonsense to ruin someone's reputation."
