Chapter 284: Confrontation between the Two Families
Unexpectedly, Wan Ersao only went home for a short while, while Guihua's mother was already rushing to her house with Guihua.
The two met on the road in the village.
Guihua's mother was bought by Guihua's father for one or two taels of silver. Her surname is Chen.
The Chen family didn't prepare lunch at noon, and the family was not full with two meals a day. They had only porridge in the morning, and they were already starving. When they saw Guihua coming back with scratches on her face, they immediately realized that their stepdaughter was causing trouble outside again.
But Chen was very hungry, and she was just planning to take advantage of this incident to blackmail someone for a meal, even just a steamed bun would do.
Chen immediately grabbed Guihua and questioned her, only to find out that Guihua was bullied by the little girl from the Wan family.
Chen's heart was filled with joy. Although others were afraid of the Wan family, they didn't care. After all, they didn't rely on the Wan family for food and drink.
The Wan family is the richest family in the surrounding villages. Maybe they can extort a few taels of silver this time.
Chen immediately pulled Guihua to go to Wan's house, but Guihua did not follow Chen obediently to Wan's house like she did in the past, but tried to escape.
But she was small and weak, how could she outrun Chen? Chen pushed her to the ground.
"You damn girl, why are you running away? Mommy took you to eat delicious food and you ran away. What should I say?"
Guihua cried out in resistance: "Aunt Wan is a good person. I also beat up Sister Fubao. We are even now. Don't blackmail her anymore. I will never fight again."
After hearing this, Chen became furious. She picked up a branch nearby and hit Guihua with it. Soon, blood oozed out of Guihua's body.
Guihua's father would go out to work in the winter, doing odd jobs for others and was not at home, so he had no idea that his daughter was bullied by her stepmother. Even if he knew, he would not care. After all, in Guihua's father's mind, he would not offend his daughter-in-law for a money-losing person.
Guihua was soon beaten to the point where she could not move. After Chen vented his anger, he threw away the branch in his hand.
He grabbed Guihua's withered hair, pulled her up from the ground, and slapped her in the face.
Guihua's face soon became swollen, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Guihua's tears had dried up and her voice was hoarse, but at this time, Chen's biological children were still cheering on the side.
"Mom, please let this money-loser go and blackmail people. I want to eat meat, rice, and white flour buns."
Chen immediately changed her attitude towards her children, and coaxed them patiently with a smile on her face: "Be good, just wait at home. I will definitely bring you some delicious food today, enough for us to eat for the whole winter."
Chen's two sons and a little daughter shouted "Mom, Mom" happily.
"Go away, you silly girl! If you dare to talk nonsense later, I will beat you to death."
Chen dragged Guihua out.
With every step Guihua took, the wounds on her body felt as if they were torn apart again. She endured the cold and pain as she was dragged by Chen to the Wan family. Because Chen was in a hurry, she could only jog behind her. Every step she took felt like she was being tortured.
But in order not to fall, she tried her best to endure the pain and tried to keep up with Chen's pace.
"Mom, that seems to be the little girl who bullied Xiao Fubao, but I think something is wrong. When we found them in the village just now, the girl was not injured so badly. Her face looked like it was swollen from being beaten." Wan Ersao saw the Chen mother and daughter coming towards her at a glance.
Old Mrs. Wan also looked over. She didn't know Guihua and Chen. She went out even less often than Second Sister-in-law Wan. She stayed at home all day looking after her grandchildren and occasionally helped with housework. She had no chance to go out and chat with the old ladies.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not know Chen, but Chen knew the Wan family. There was no one in the entire village who did not know the Wan family.
Chen had also seen the group of people from the Wan family a long time ago.
The two parties stopped on the road in the middle of the village.
"Are you Guihua's mother?" Old Mrs. Wan asked first.
Chen let go of Guihua's hand, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Old Lady Wan angrily.
"Yes, I am Guihua's mother, Chen. Your daughter hurt my daughter, and I was about to go to your house to ask for an explanation, but you took the initiative to fall into my trap. Are you going to come to my house to give me money?"
Chen didn't even bother to look at little Fubao, she just stared at Old Lady Wan with her triangular eyes.
"Bullshit, I'm giving you some silver. There's no mirror at home, but do you have a pee mirror? Take a piss and look at your own behavior. See how much silver you are worth."
Old Mrs. Wan cursed at Chen. She put one hand on her waist and pointed a finger at Chen's face. Her eyes were full of anger and her words were not polite at all.
Old Mrs. Wan now has an idea in her mind. It seems that she has become lazy after coming to the border and has not been walking around like this. If her aggressive temper is not spread out, all kinds of people will come and step on their faces.
As soon as Chen met the Wan family, she was scolded by Old Lady Wan. She was so embarrassed. Moreover, she was the one who scolded others every time. This was the first time she was pointed at and scolded, and the person at that was an old lady with dirt buried up to her neck.
Chen couldn't swallow this humiliation and directly pulled Guihua out from behind her.
"You still want to cheat? Look at what your bastard Fubao did to my daughter? You won't pay me back? Even if I sue you in the capital, you won't respond."
Chen pushed Guihua's face in front of Old Lady Wan. Chen's hand just happened to grab the wound on Guihua's back. Guihua screamed in pain, her voice trembling: "Mom, it hurts, it hurts!"
Chen took the opportunity to say to Old Lady Wan, "Did you hear that? My daughter is crying out in pain. Tell me, how much money are you prepared to pay?"
Old Mrs. Wan sneered, took a step forward, and grabbed Chen's right hand.
Chen was startled and tried to break free, but she didn't expect that although Mrs. Wan's hand was skinny, it was like a pair of iron clamps, tightly holding Chen's wrist and not letting go.
Chen was also anxious and asked sternly, "You old woman, what are you going to do? If you don't let go, I'm going to do it."
Chen was a little clever. Every time she went to someone's house to find fault, she never took action, but only used words, because once she took action, it would leave evidence that would be unfavorable to her. So she just relied on her mouth to scold the other party and return victorious.
This time she met someone like Old Lady Wan who didn't play by the rules, which made her panic for a moment. Normally, the two of them should be arguing about each other's faults at this time, but this old lady came up and started fighting directly.
"Huh, what am I doing? Put your hand on your daughter's face and compare it. Is this a big handprint from my little Fubao's hand?"
Old Lady Wan finally managed to pull Chen's hand out, but Chen knew that she would be exposed and quickly pulled it back, but Old Lady Wan was not willing to let her go.
"What? Are you scared? Don't dare to confront me? Wu Dalang jumped into the well. I think you are a coward. Even so, you dare to come out and blackmail me?"
Old Mrs. Wan shook Chen's hand away with all her strength, causing Chen to stagger back a few steps.
Old Mrs. Wan looked at Guihua's face for a long time. Because Chen slapped her several times, the red marks on Guihua's face left by Xiao Fubao were no longer visible. The marks left by Xiao Fubao on Guihua's face could not be used as evidence, but the bloodstains on Xiao Fubao's head were real.
