While Yun Qishi was still scooping rice and serving dishes, she kept talking incessantly. Yun Dazheng's face was already so dark it looked like it could drip water. He could no longer suppress his anger. He scooped several ladles of water into the wooden basin quickly and heavily, almost filling it to the brim, before throwing the ladles heavily into the water vat. He then picked up the basin and stormed outside.
Yun Qishi assumed he was going to wash his face and said from behind, "Old man, you just came back hot, don't wash with cold water, scoop half a ladle of hot water to rinse yourself."
Then, a short while later, Yun Qi heard two screams from outside: "Ah!" and "Ah!" followed by Zhang Juhua's loud shouting.
"Old man Yun, what are you doing? Why did you splash water all over me for no reason? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Do you really think your Yun family, as outsiders, can change the surname of this Lu Family Village?"
Zhang Juhua was furious. She saw Yun Qi preparing the rabbit and thought that if she brought her bowl over, she could get a meat meal. But instead of getting a tiny bit of meat, barely the size of a chopstick tip, she got a fight. And to make matters worse, she couldn't win!
Moreover, she'd been fighting outside for so long, and all the neighbors were just watching the spectacle; not a single one offered help, not even a verbal word of advice! And no one even thought to call her husband to help!
She was then doused with a bucket of cold water by Yun Dazheng. Although it wasn't cold, she was still quite embarrassed. Moreover, this Yun family, outsiders, lived better than the native locals. Instead of being humble and trying to please them, they dared to act arrogantly and domineeringly. What kind of logic was that?
"So what if we don't have the surname Lu? Did we eat your rice or drink your water? Zhang Juhua, you came to my door like a beggar with a bowl, and I've tolerated you, but you still don't know what's good for you?"
"This village is indeed inhabited by people with the surname Lu. Does this village belong to your family, who also have the surname Lu?"
"Besides, don't forget whose yard you're throwing a tantrum in front of right now!"
"What's wrong with us old men splashing a bucket of water on you? We're being kind by not splashing you with a ladle of manure! And you still want to throw a tantrum? Do you really think we're afraid of you?"
To be honest, Yun Qishi was not one to argue with people. Even though she disliked Zhang Juhua, she never really broke off relations with her.
Of course, this was because before she could even show her displeasure after hearing Yun Duo's words, Zhao Cuifen 'snatched' her chance. However, although she kept this in mind, she didn't intend to bring it up again and again.
Little did she know that she would overhear Zhang Juhua cursing her old man.
This won't do!
Just by looking at how Yun Qishi, a girl with bound feet, was willing to give up her comfortable life at her maternal home and elope with Yun Dazheng, it's clear that Yun Qishi cared about Yun Dazheng from the bottom of her heart.
So when she heard Zhang Juhua even cursing her own old man, she immediately lost her temper.
Then he called to Yunduo, "Yunduo, you're a child and quick on your feet. Go ask the village chief to help you break the bone. We've already settled in Lujia Village, and even the 'government' issued us household registrations there. Just because we don't have the surname Lu and are outsiders, does that mean we're inferior to those with the surname Lu? When people bully us at our doorstep, we should just hold our noses and accept it without saying a word?"
"Does splashing water in my own yard violate Zhang Juhua's laws?"
