"Clang!"
"Ouch!!"
The sound of the earthenware bowl shattering and the man's cry of pain rang out simultaneously.
Wang Jianhua was suddenly tackled on the head from behind by Ning Yuan, and caught off guard, he fell flat on his face.
However, the bowl in his hand smashed against the wall, and the flying shards grazed Rong Zhaonan's cheek.
Seeing blood seeping from his cheek, Ning Yuan turned around angrily and glared at the educated youths surrounding them: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? What right do you have to hit people!"
Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan, who was standing in front of him, her slender back carrying a basket looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Wang Jianhua scrambled to his feet with the help of those around him, glaring maliciously at Ning Yuan: "Ning Yuan, you married this backward man, and you've fallen into depravity along with him! How dare you protect him!"
"If I don't protect him, why would I protect you, you beast! What, your head injury is healed, and it doesn't hurt anymore?!" Ning Yuan felt nauseous and wanted to vomit as soon as she saw Wang Jianhua.
That bastard did such a beastly thing to her last time. If she hadn't lacked evidence, she would have called the police!
I never expected that he would dare to bark and retaliate so soon after recovering!
"Ning Yuan!" Wang Jianhua's face turned ashen, and he instinctively tried to cover his head, as his already healed wound began to ache again.
Tang Zhenzhen dusted off her nails and said hypocritically, "Ning Yuan, some people from the city came down to inspect today. We're just here to check on his ideological reform so he doesn't hold back the village's work. What's the rush? You're supposed to be an educated youth, don't you have any awareness at all?"
Ning Yuan glared angrily at Tang Zhenzhen, knowing full well that Tang Zhenzhen was involved in this whole affair!
She retorted angrily, "What right do you have to inspect him? Did the production team send you here? Did the commune send you here?"
Tang Zhenzhen sneered and pointed to the two commune cadres wearing red armbands standing next to her: "What, are you blind? Can't you see the commune cadres here?"
She had made ample preparations to get back at the couple.
The two commune cadres coughed and said, "Someone from above is coming down to inspect. Ning, since you are an educated youth, you should assist everyone in helping him reform his thinking, instead of blocking others from helping him make progress."
Ning Yuan glared at them: "What kind of reformation do you have? Is it to beat people up at will?"
The commune official was taken aback: "This..."
"What's wrong with hitting him? His report was so short and perfunctory, it's obvious he's dishonest!" Wang Jianhua said with a righteous expression, but a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Last time, I was ambushed near the cowshed, which is why I didn't get to deal with that little bitch Ning Yuan!
At that time, who else could be near the cowshed besides Rong Zhaonan!
A few years ago, he could have easily found a reason to kill that trashy guy Rong Zhaonan!
What a pity!
Ning Yuan felt utterly disgusted by the sight of Wang Jianhua, so she turned sharply to the two young commune cadres and raised her voice—
"Gentlemen, I just want to ask, when the inspection team came down today, did they say that my boyfriend had made a serious mistake and that he should be punished or disciplined?"
The commune officials exchanged bewildered glances: "No, but..."
One of them suddenly looked at Tang Zhenzhen: "This Tang educated youth said that the higher-level inspection team is very dissatisfied with the reformed elements in the village, and asked us to do a re-inspection so as not to affect their opinion of our work."
Tang Zhenzhen was completely taken aback when the other party revealed her identity directly, and she felt quite embarrassed.
Under Ning Yuan's angry gaze, she raised her chin and sneered, "That's right, I only notified the commune's cadres out of concern for the collective."
She deliberately hired people to deal with them; what can they do about it?
Seeing Tang Zhenzhen's provocative look, Ning Yuan took a few deep breaths, clenched her fists, and told herself to stay calm.
She's an elderly woman who's lived two lifetimes; she can't be easily provoked by such a despicable person.
She looked at the two commune cadres and suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, in our village, Deputy Party Secretary Li Yan is usually in charge of inspections and assistance. If an inspection team comes down today, he will accompany them, right?"
The two commune officials were taken aback, but both nodded: "Yes."
Ning Yuan: "I suggest you two go and ask Comrade Li Yan first what exactly the inspection team said. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if you rashly disrupted Comrade Li Yan's work arrangements, would it?"
If she wasn't mistaken, the reason Tang Zhenzhen didn't go to Li Yan was because the inspection team and Li Yan's side were actually completely uninvolved!
That's why Tang Zhenzhen tricked two relatively unfamiliar staff members into coming over; she had never even met them before!
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the two commune cadres changed.
They were all young and had just been transferred to the commune. That's why they came with Tang Zhenzhen, eager to show their enthusiasm for work, because of some ambiguous words she said.
But Ning Yuan's words made them realize their mistake, and they immediately became flustered: "This...this..."
To put it mildly, this was their own decision; to put it more seriously, it was their unauthorized interference in their superiors' work.
Ning Yuan then coldly looked at the educated youth around her: "Go ahead and do whatever you want. Believe me, I'll go back to the city and call the police right now. Do you think things are still the same as before? Try it and see."
It's almost the 1980s, and the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs have long since resumed operations, yet these people are still living in the past!
In a few years, there will be a crackdown!
The group's expressions changed, and then the two cadres immediately said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll go back to the commune now and report to Deputy Party Secretary Li Yan."
After saying that, they turned and left in a hurry.
"Hey, wait a minute..." Wang Jianhua endured the pain in his back and subconsciously tried to stop the person.
With those two clerks gone, he had no grounds to deal with Rong Zhaonan!
But the other person rolled their eyes at him irritably, rudely pushed him away, and left.
With that person gone, the remaining group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
Huang Xuehong looked at Ning Yuan and pouted angrily: "Ning Yuan, we are all educated youth, and we came to check on the ideological situation of this backward element for your own good. You don't even appreciate it."
Tang Zhenzhen also sneered: "Ning Yuan, when did your tongue become so sharp? When you used to fawn over me, you would even fetch me water to wash my feet. Now you're acting all different."
She was truly blind back then, underestimating this despicable woman who stole the person she liked and her things.
As Ning Yuan put down her basket, she casually tied her long braid behind her head with a hair tie and smiled, "Yes, how about I show you other looks of mine?"
Tang Zhenzhen was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
Ning Yuan suddenly rushed over, grabbed her hair, and slammed her to the ground.
Tang Zhenzhen felt a sharp pain in her scalp as she was pulled, and was thrown to the ground, screaming, "Ahhh—let go! It hurts!"
Ning Yuan grabbed handfuls of her hair forcefully: "You're addicted to bullying people, aren't you? I'm barefoot and have nothing to fear. You can go to the production team to complain, go to the commune to complain. We fought, so what?!"
