This time was no different. After performing the sleepwalking scene, just as Old Mrs. Zheng was leaving arrogantly, someone splashed a large basin of water on her face.
No, as the smell spread, it was clear that what had been splashed on Old Mrs. Zheng was not water, but sewage from a rural latrine.
It smells so bad!
The villagers watching didn't seem to mind the smell at all; their faces showed obvious satisfaction, and they almost applauded.
The person who threw excrement at Old Mrs. Zheng was none other than Old Sun, the village chief's wife.
Throughout her life, she was cheated on countless times by Old Mrs. Zheng, which made Old Sun, the village chief, rarely touch her. Although she is now old and no longer has that need, she still harbors resentment.
It was all because of Old Mrs. Zheng that she didn't get to enjoy that kind of thing when she should have, and it also prevented her from having a daughter, whom she always wanted.
Old Mrs. Zheng, who had been splashed with excrement, was completely helpless against the "murderer," because the "murderer" was also acting like a sleepwalker.
This is called an eye for an eye!
Grandma Zheng was furious. She stomped her foot and ran towards the Zheng family's house at the west end of the village.
Jiang Moli was still holding the sleeping Zhenzhen in her arms, and with Old Mrs. Zheng just walking forward, she could only keep bowing to the crowd of onlookers.
She used her bow to apologize to the villagers on behalf of Old Mrs. Zheng.
The villagers originally intended to applaud and celebrate, but seeing how sensible Jiang Moli was, and fearing that Old Mrs. Zheng would take her anger out on her, they refrained from applauding.
Jiang Moli bowed several more times before carrying Zhenzhen and chasing after Old Madam Zheng.
Old Mrs. Zheng's voice was loud and very unpleasant when she scolded her.
Among the villagers who had not yet dispersed, some immediately took the lead in applauding because they could not stand Old Mrs. Zheng cursing Jiang Moli. Soon, other villagers also joined in.
Grandma Zheng knew perfectly well what the applause behind her meant. It wasn't a farewell, but rather a series of slaps, like each one hitting her face.
Grandma Zheng was a strong-willed person. That very night, she left her rural hometown and returned to City B. Zheng Heping had drunk quite a bit and couldn't drive, so he paid a high price to find a replacement in their county.
Jiang Moli thought that after what happened not long ago, Old Mrs. Zheng would at least think things through quietly, or at least remain still.
Little did she expect that from the moment she saw Zheng Heping return home, she would start talking badly about everyone in the village, saying how they bullied her while Zheng Heping was away.
His eyes inadvertently caught sight of Zhenzhen, who was still fast asleep in Jiang Moli's arms, and he said that the villagers were even bullying a three-year-old child like Zhenzhen.
Fearing that Zheng Heping wouldn't believe her, she forcibly pulled Zhenzhen over and made Zheng Heping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, look at the injury on Zhenzhen's forehead.
When she was pulled like that, Zhenzhen woke up. When she saw Zheng Heping looking at her forehead, the child burst into tears and told Zheng Heping that her grandmother had pushed her, that she had hit a rock, and that her grandmother had smeared cow dung on her wound and forbade her to cry, or she would be killed. She was in so much pain.
Zheng Heping drank quite a bit at the class reunion, but as the saying goes, "drunk on the wine, but clear-headed." He pulled Zhenzhen into his arms and looked at his daughter with a loving and tender gaze that he hadn't seen in a long time.
Grandma Zheng was so angry that she wished she could strangle Zhenzhen right then and there.
The person who angered her even more was not the three-year-old Zhenzhen, but Jiang Moli sitting next to her. In her opinion, the fact that the three-year-old child was threatened and intimidated by her and still dared to tell Zheng Heping the truth was all because Jiang Moli taught her to do so.
Jiang Moli didn't know where she got the courage this time. Perhaps it was the injury on Zhenzhen's forehead that made her completely despair of Old Mrs. Zheng. She didn't avoid it and dared to look Old Mrs. Zheng in the eye, which she wished she could tear apart.
She thought Zheng Heping would be the same as always, no matter what Old Mrs. Zheng did, she was never wrong, and the fault would always lie with her and Zhenzhen.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Heping suddenly said to his mother, "Mom, I could understand what you did before. After all, Dad passed away early, and it wasn't easy for you on your own. If you didn't find someone to rely on, you would easily be bullied. What I don't understand is... now that our lives have become so much better, why do you still want to do such things? Do you know that I... never want to come back again!"
Grandma Zheng quickly chimed in, "If you don't want to come back, then don't. Anyway, I don't want to come back. They're all a bunch of heartless ingrates. Back in the day..."
Back then, what were the next words? Fortunately, Old Mrs. Zheng stopped herself in time, otherwise she would definitely have said them. Back then, when they all wanted me to sleep with them, they wagged their tails and begged in front of me like lapdogs. Now that they think I'm too old, when the Sun family woman threw feces in my face, they actually applauded!
What a bunch of bastards who turn their backs on you as soon as they're done with their pants!
Zheng Heping clenched his teeth, veins bulging at his temples. He was genuinely angry. "Mom, I'm begging you, you're over fifty years old. Why don't you just stay home, watch TV, and take care of the kids? Why do you have to..."
After all, she was his own mother, and there were many things Zheng Heping couldn't bring himself to say.
Just last week, when Zheng Heping was on his way home from get off work, he passed by the gate and overheard two security guards inside whispering that an old lady from one of the buildings had come to the security room to seduce her son so that he could get a different parking space.
As for whether he succeeded in seducing her, Zheng Heping didn't know, because he couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to the garage, smashing the window of his own car.
When Old Mrs. Zheng heard Zheng Heping say that about her, she was stunned for a moment, then she slapped her thighs hard with both hands and began to wail loudly, "Why am I so unlucky? You dead ghost, if you hadn't died so young, I wouldn't have to live such a hard life..."
