In the blink of an eye, Zheng Jia and Zhang Yongzhen started fighting. Zhang Yongzhen grabbed Zheng Jia's hair, and the two of them fought fiercely, using their hands and feet without any regard for anything else. Zheng Jia was quickly kicked, but she endured the pain and kicked back. She desperately tried to scratch Zhang Yongzhen's face with one hand, and soon two very obvious marks were left on her face.
Zheng Jia couldn't help but laugh: "I'll scratch your face until you're bruised and battered, ruin your reputation, and then how will you help others with beauty treatments? I'll tear you apart, you slut."
Jiang Shuya was thinner and weaker than the other two. Seeing that she couldn't be separated from them, she was even pushed to the ground by Zhang Yongzhen, who still warned her, "When I have time, I'll slap you, you bitch, you just wait."
They've already entered someone else's yard.
At this moment, two people from the Cao family ran out. It was Cao Gang and his old man. Upon hearing this, the two quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.
Cao Gang pulled his wife aside, helped her fix her hair, glanced at the wound on her face, and said angrily, "What do you want to do? You've come to my house and beaten my wife like this."
Zheng Jia smoothed her hair, holding a roll of hair in her hand, which was still covered in blood: "Your wife has pulled all my hair out, and my scalp is still bleeding. What do you have to say for this?"
Old Cao, standing nearby, sternly rebuked and pointed, "This is outrageous! They came to my house to beat people up and commit violence. My wife defended herself. Is that wrong?"
Tsk tsk, the way he says that makes it sound like his wife is showing a sense of justice.
Jiang Shuya patted the dirt off her clothes, paused, and said slowly, "Uncle Cao, that's a bit too much. We don't have any weapons, yet you're framing us. We were just talking at the door, not bothering anyone, but your wife was eavesdropping behind the porch and spewing insults, full of foul language, arrogant and conceited, targeting us at every turn."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yongzhen continued to curse: "So what if I curse you, you shameless slut? You shameless woman who chases after men, relying on your looks, before seducing Huang Minghao, who knows how many men you've been with."
"shut up"
Old Cao, with a haughty look in his eyes, continued to ask, "In the end, it is an indisputable fact that you assaulted people in my yard. If I call the police and you come to my door to commit violence and injury, do you think you are in the right?"
"If Uncle Cao insists that we came to his door to commit violence, then let's call the police. I believe the law will treat this matter fairly. You heard what your daughter-in-law said to me just now. Compared to what she said before, it was slightly less offensive. I was insulted for no reason. Since we're talking about reason, I have no choice but to go through legal procedures. As far as I know, Articles 25 and 22 of the Public Security Administration Law state that publicly insulting others, fabricating facts, or defaming others, combined with obscenity, intimidation, or framing, constitutes a double crime and is punishable by detention for not less than 20 days and not more than 30 days, and a fine of not less than 2,000 yuan."
The group fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment, Cao Gang suddenly spoke up, a contemptuous smile on his face: "A local official is more powerful than a distant one. How about I call my uncle over and have him reason with you?"
Jiang Shuya understood that Cao Gang's uncle was the captain of Jiangdao Police Station, and Cao Gang had hinted to her that his family had powerful connections.
"Yes, call my uncle over to uphold justice. I want to see whose side he'll take." Zhang Yongzhen said, her face contorted with rage.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Shuya remained calm: "Just call your uncle over. I believe he understands your character better than I do. I can sue you anytime for what you just said. Do you want to try? Or maybe you can drag your uncle into this too? Are you so sure he would punish the villagers for your sake?"
In the end, this was just a trivial matter of bickering and fighting.
Jiang Shuya was certain that Uncle Cao could understand, and she believed he wouldn't needlessly cause trouble for her brother. Besides, her wife had said such nasty things, clearly without any justification. Huang Minghao had indeed said those things in her drunken state before, which even made this old man ashamed to hear. Now that her wife had exposed it, she was glad that Huang Minghao wasn't home, otherwise the couple would have had a fight sooner or later. However, she didn't want her own family to start this.
His expression changed slightly: "Haohao's wife, don't listen to my ignorant wife's nonsense. It's not true. When Haohao was eating at my house before, he only mentioned occasionally that you two hadn't known each other for long and that it was a whirlwind marriage. He didn't say anything else. I think today, we've already fought and scolded each other, and neither of us has gained an advantage. Let's just let it go! We're all neighbors."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Yongzhen objected: "Dad, she slapped me twice, and you're just going to let it go like that?" After saying that, she pointed at Jiang Shuya and reached out to hit her again.
Despite Jiang Shuya taking a step back, she still managed to scratch half of her face. Cao Gang only managed to hold half of her body, and Zhang Yongzhen was pushed by Zheng Jia.
Zhang Yongzhen became arrogant after hitting Jiang Shuya.
Old Cao loudly ordered Cao Gang to drag her home. As Zhang Yongzhen was being pushed and pulled, she turned around, her eyes flashing with a vicious expression, and said angrily, "Jiang Shuya, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this."
"Alright, you can all go home now! It's so late. I'll talk to my wife and tell her not to hold a grudge against you. Actually, she just has a sharp tongue, but she doesn't intentionally target anyone. You're all from out of town, so you'll run into each other all the time. Xixia Village isn't that big. It would be best if you could make peace with each other, but if not, just pretend you don't know each other!"
After finishing speaking, Old Man Cao stood with his hands behind his back and prepared to leave.
"Alright, if Uncle Cao can make the decision, then I won't beat around the bush. If there's another provocation like this, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am today. You have your Uncle Cao, and I have my legal weapons. I believe that in this peaceful and prosperous world, the news media will definitely be interested in people who despise village girls, are arrogant and conceited, and spew foul language."
After saying that, Jiang Shuya took Tangtang from Li Xiaohua's arms and prepared to leave.
Old Cao sighed inwardly. How could Hao Hao's wife be so sharp-tongued? She looked delicate but was actually very strong-willed. How could she be so different from Hao Hao's description?
As the three of them left the courtyard, they saw Wang Xi and Wang Hongjuan fleeing in panic. It seemed that the couple had come out to peek when they were fighting at the gate, and when they saw them come out, they hurriedly hid in their own yard.
"Two shameless gloating scoundrels, ptooey!" Zheng Jia said dismissively.
Jiang Shuya stared intently at the courtyard, at the people hiding there. The two people inside must have heard Zheng Jia's words, which were neither too loud nor too soft. She looked for a while before coming back to her senses and slowly said, "Zheng Jia, thank you for calling back for me."
Zheng Jia narrowed her eyes and waved her hand dismissively: "No need to be polite. I've disliked her for a long time. I have an impulsive personality, and she never dares to directly target me, but she loves to bully Xiao Hua. I see Xiao Hua always putting up with it, which is really frustrating. Those two slaps you gave me at the beginning today gave me courage."
