That was the sound of an egg breaking.
A moment later, Shi Longlong's agonizing screams pierced the sky.
"Ah—ah—"
Li Zhen hit the target with her first strike, and a burning rage inexplicably ignited in her chest. She went up and hit Shi Longlong several more times with the baseball bat, striking his hands, feet, and ribs.
Shi Longlong was in so much pain that he couldn't scream anymore. How could this woman be so ruthless and strong!
Li Zhen put away her baseball bat and coldly stared at Shi Longlong, who looked like a dead dog, with the big yellow dog and the tabby cat blocking her way.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door. Shi Fengfeng pushed the door open and came in first, "Brother, brother, are you here?"
As she called out, she said to the aunt next to her, "My brother has had a bit too much to drink. I wonder if he came to my older brother's house..."
"ah--"
Before Shi Fengfeng could finish her sentence, she saw Shi Longlong lying on the ground, his body twisted and grotesque, along with a large yellow dog and a tabby cat standing nearby, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, and Li Zhen carrying a stick.
"You, how could you..."
Shi Fengfeng pointed a trembling finger at Li Zhen and questioned her.
Li Zhen forced a smile, her voice a little hoarse, "How am I still standing here sober? How come I'm still okay after eating the meat you drugged?"
She dragged a baseball bat in her hand, which scraped against the path paved with bark, making a harsh sound.
Li Zhen approached Shi Fengfeng step by step. She was no longer the gentle woman she used to be; she was like a dark version of Death.
She approached Shi Fengfeng, and the tall Li Zhen was a full head taller than Shi Fengfeng.
Li Zhen lowered her head and answered Shi Fengfeng's question seriously, "Because I spat out the meat after you left!"
"How...how do you know there's something wrong with the meat?"
Shi Fengfeng was horrified. She didn't bother to hide her true feelings and blurted out the question.
Of course, as soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to slap herself twice. Wasn't this just admitting guilt without being asked?
Li Zhen retorted, "Do you think you're the only smart person in the whole world?"
At this moment, Shi Longlong suddenly let out a soft groan.
Shi Fengfeng rushed anxiously to Shi Longlong's side, squatted down to check on him, and asked anxiously, "Big brother! Big brother! Are you alright?"
On the surface, there was no blood on Shi Longlong's body or face.
She turned back to Li Zhen and asked, "What exactly did you do to my brother? Why did he faint?!"
Li Zhen suddenly took a step back, looking troubled, and said, "A thief broke into my house. What could I do? It was just self-defense."
Following Shi Fengfeng in were Xiao Xiangzi's mother and grandmother from across the street, as well as Fu Ersao from the east neighbor and Xiuping, the eldest sister-in-law from the west neighbor.
When they saw a strange man appear in the brigade leader's yard, they quickly ran behind Li Zhen, afraid that he might get hurt.
Shi Fengfeng was also out of her mind. She had never lived in Lijiapo before, and she didn't know that the people in Lijiapo had become so shameless and openly fawned over Li Jin's family!
...
Shi Longlong was being treated at the hospital. Shi Fengfeng's mother, the brigade leader of Wulipu, and the elders of the Shi family all came over.
"Smack—"
As soon as Shi Fengfeng's mother saw her daughter, she slapped her across the face, "Didn't your brother go looking for you? How come you're in the hospital being rushed to the hospital!"
Shi Fengfeng's eyes were swollen from crying, just like Tao'er's, and she couldn't speak.
The brigade leader of Wulipu stopped Shi Fengfeng's mother, "Stop hitting her, find out what happened first!"
The Shi family was in a chaotic mess when, just then, the door to the emergency room opened and the doctor came out.
"Doctor, doctor, how is my son?"
Shi Fengfeng's mother grabbed the doctor's hand directly.
The doctor looked at her with infinite pity. "Family members, please calm down. Your son's testicles are completely shattered. To save his life, we have no choice but to remove them."
"Okay, okay, as long as I can live!"
When Shi Fengfeng's mother heard that her son could live, she wept with joy. Suddenly, she remembered something else: "What are testicles?"
"Testicles are a man's balls."
"What?!"
Shi Fengfeng's mother simply couldn't believe her ears. If her son's testicles were cut off, wouldn't her precious son become a eunuch?!
How are we supposed to have children in the future?!
Her husband only had one son, a single seed from a vast land!
"Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, Captain! This matter can't be left like this! You have to avenge Longlong!"
Shi Fengfeng's mother knelt down in front of the elders of the Shi family and begged them.
Second Master Shi, Third Master Shi, and Captain Shi Yongfu exchanged a glance. They couldn't let the people of Wulipu be bullied like this...
"You're right! How can we just let this go like this!"
An angry and authoritative male voice echoed down the hospital corridor.
Shi Fengfeng looked up and saw her brother-in-law, Li Jin, walking over, followed by two policemen...
"Hello comrade! I am Lu Yugen from Huichuan County Public Security Bureau. Shi Longlong is involved in multiple crimes, including burglary and rape. Is he currently fit for questioning?"
The doctor shook his head. "He is still in a coma."
The elders of the Shi family and the brigade leader were originally going to agree to Shi Fengfeng's mother's request to stand up for her and demand an explanation from Lijiapo.
Looking at the current situation, hurry home and don't let this get to me!
Leaving Shi Longlong aside for now, Li Jin disregarded the proper separation between men and women, grabbed Shi Fengfeng by the back of her collar, and dragged her away.
"Comrade, my daughter said that this woman is an accomplice; she's the one who drugged my daughter."
"Clatter—snap!"
A pair of gleaming silver bracelets were fastened to Shi Fengfeng's hands.
The Shi family mother and daughter collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
...
The matter was resolved quickly. As soon as Shi Longlong was discharged from the hospital, he was arrested and imprisoned. He was charged with burglary and attempted rape.
Shi Fengfeng was charged with rape and attempted instigation of a crime.
Don't assume that women are immune from rape. While the perpetrator of rape must be a natural person over the age of fourteen, a woman can also be considered an accomplice to rape if she assists the man in committing the act.
After the Shi siblings were imprisoned, Li Xiangdong comforted Li Zhen, saying, "Fourth Sister, you must not be distracted by such scum."
Li Zhen's expression was exceptionally gentle, and there was an indescribable radiance to it—a calmness and peace that came from the depths of her heart.
"For some reason, I felt exceptionally comfortable."
Li Zhen said this.
The past is over.
No one cared about Li Wanshi's tearful complaints about her youngest son's bad luck in finding a wife anymore; now everyone had to say that the old woman was blind and heartless.
And Li Song, he's already socially dead in the village.
Even though he wasn't convicted, how could you be completely unaware of what your partner did?
Pooh!
No matter what, time waits for no one, and the days still pass by one by one.
Soon, it was the day before Li Zhen's college entrance examination. Her whole family was on high alert, helping her prepare for the exam.
