"Why are you dragging your feet? It doesn't matter when we get married, does it? If you really want to be with me, you won't care about your reputation!"
Zhu Shengping looked like a mad dog from the village. Bai Shiqing was scared, but she didn't hold back: "Bullshit! What are you? Do you think you're more important than my reputation?"
If Zhu Shengping had spoken in a gentle tone, Bai Shiqing would have simply made a lighthearted joke and let it go.
But now, Zhu Shengping is pointing fingers at her and criticizing her. Even if it were her own father, who is so unreasonable, Bai Shiqing wouldn't let him off easily, let alone someone she only sees a few times a year.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Bai Shiqing's words, Zhu Shengping took a step forward and grabbed Bai Shiqing by the neck.
"Cough cough...you..."
Bai Shiqing immediately felt difficulty breathing. Zhu Shengping's bloodshot eyes and the strength in his hands seemed to be about to snap her neck.
Bai Shiqing was plunged into complete darkness. Under the suppression of absolute power, she was unable to break free.
Her fingernails dug blood from the back of Zhu Shengping's hand, but Zhu Shengping seemed not to notice and did not loosen his grip on her neck at all.
He said fiercely, "Go back and tell your father that if my family says we'll get married before the Mid-Autumn Festival, then we'll get married before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Otherwise, you just wait!"
Bai Shiqing was too incapable to answer at this moment. Fear gripped her heart. She was afraid that Zhu Shengping would strangle her here and throw her into the reservoir, tie a stone to her so she wouldn't float and no one would be able to find her.
"Bai Shiqing!"
Suddenly a shout came from behind. Bai Shiqing heard her own name and her survival instinct made her wave her hands.
"Um...uh..."
The scene before him made Li Shuxian drop the basin in his hand and rush over. Without thinking, he punched Zhu Shengping in the arm, and Zhu Shengping immediately lost his grip.
Seeing that he had lost his grip, Zhu Shengping roared at Li Shuxian, "Mind your own business!"
Li Shuxian grabbed Zhu Shengping by the collar: "You dare touch her and see what happens!"
The two men started fighting. Zhu Shengping, who had been trained in the army, was now in a frenzy, and Li Shuxian was no match for him and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Bai Shiqing was still seeing stars when she staggered to her feet. She opened her mouth to shout, but found herself unable to speak. She clutched her neck in pain and coughed twice.
Bai Shiqing had barely taken two steps after getting up when she tripped and fell—her legs went weak with fright!
She turned around and looked at Li Shuxian, who was gritting his teeth, wiped the sweat from her face, and stood up again.
"Uncle Chunsheng, fight... fight... fight..."
Bai Shiqing ran more than ten steps before she saw a villager.
Although she spoke in a breathy voice, Liu Chunsheng immediately saw the two people wrestling in the direction she pointed.
He exclaimed in panic, "Why are they fighting in broad daylight?!"
Li Shuxian and Zhu Shengping, these two are both good young men in Shili Village!
Liu Chunsheng rushed over to help, but even he and Li Shuxian couldn't pull Zhu Shengping away.
Bai Shiqing was so anxious that she paced back and forth, beads of sweat dripping down her face. She quickly ran to find more help.
As you walk further into the village, the number of people increases.
It was right after work, and the laborers who didn't have to cook were all chatting and boasting under the shade of the trees. Bai Shiqing went straight over there:
"Murder! Zhu Shengping tried to kill me!"
Bai Shiqing's voice wasn't loud, but her disheveled appearance startled everyone.
Bai Shiqing used to be so charming and energetic, with a beautiful face and her neck held high. Anyone who saw her would feel invigorated.
But now Bai Shiqing was pale and covered in sweat, her clothes were covered in mud, it was unknown whether she had fallen several times on the road.
"Zhu Shengping? Where is he?!"
"Reservoir! Everyone hurry over there! Li Shuxian is about to be killed!"
Li Shiqing and his two sons were among this group of people. Upon hearing that Li Shuxian was also involved, they quickly swarmed towards the reservoir.
Bai Shiqing collapsed to the ground, panting. After a while, she burst into tears, feeling both frightened and aggrieved.
By the time the group arrived, Li Shuxian and Liu Chunsheng had already subdued Zhu Shengping.
"What's going on?!"
When Li Shiqing saw Li Shuxian with a bruised and swollen face, his first thought was that he wouldn't be able to explain this to his wife.
Li Shuxian wiped the blood from under his nose: "Dad, this bastard tried to strangle Bai Shiqing. Luckily I arrived just in time!"
Li Shiqing's eldest daughter had no mother-in-law, so she brought her son to her parents' home to be raised.
The boy suddenly became very wet today and peed on all the rings he had prepared. Seeing that he didn't have enough to change, Li Shuxian braved the scorching sun to go to the reservoir to wash his nephew's urine rings.
Who knew, he actually did it.
"Fuck you."
Li Shiqing cursed, took off his belt, and together with the others, tied Zhu Shengping up.
The village was small, and it was lunchtime, so the news spread quickly.
Since the matter involved Bai Shiqing, a kind person came and knocked on Bai Jiaojiao's door. Upon hearing the news, Bai Jiaojiao immediately put down her chopsticks and ran outside.
Shen Heng reluctantly followed.
"Second sister, second sister!"
When Bai Jiaojiao ran over, Bai Shiqing was still sitting slumped under the banyan tree.
Bai Jiaojiao called her back to reality: "Jiaojiao, Zhu Shengping has lost his mind! He's gone mad! He's going to kill someone!"
The marks on Bai Shiqing's neck had become red and swollen, looking quite alarming.
Bai Jiaojiao regretted that she still couldn't protect her second sister in this lifetime.
Her voice trembled with tears as she said, "Second sister, it's alright, I'll help you home first!"
"good."
