With a loud "bang", Li Yang crashed into the wall beside him. He seemed to collapse and slid down to the ground.
She covered her forehead with her hand, blood seeped out from between her fingers, staining her palms red, dripping from her hairline, along her left eye and onto her fair face, it was horrifying.
As blood flowed across her left eye, Li Yang felt a burning sensation deep within her eye. She tried to ignore the discomfort and stretched out her blood-stained hand towards Feng Mei, looking both pitiful and terrifying. "Mom...even if you beat me to death, I won't divorce Ji Huaizhi."
Then a cry of alarm came from the door: "Yin Gong, someone's been beaten to death!" Sister Qian rushed in from the doorway, helped Li Yang up, looked at the blood flowing from her head to her cheeks, and shouted towards the door again: "Hurry, someone, my own mother has beaten someone to death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman about the same age as Sister Qian rushed out from the door. She didn't go into the house, but stood in the yard and started yelling.
"Oh, what should I do? It's bleeding!"
It was the time when people went out to enjoy the cool air and chat after dinner. When the woman shouted, people nearby gathered around.
Feng Mei: “!”
Yang Chunhua: “!”
Yang Chunhua was stunned by this scene. With so many people watching and Li Yang bleeding, she was really afraid that Ji Huaizhi would come back and see them and come after them. "You... just shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? She bumped into herself!"
Feng Mei's face turned pale with fear: "I just slapped you, and it bled a little!"
Yue Hong was afraid that she would be blackmailed, so she stood up from the stool and stood aside: "It was her mother who beat her, it has nothing to do with me!"
At this moment, Li Yang seemed to slowly wake up from Sister Qian's arms and said weakly, "Sister Qian, I'm afraid I can't make it. Please tell Ji Huaizhi that my feelings for him are known to all, and I will never divorce him for money with my mother and the others."
After saying that, he tilted his head and fainted again.
In fact, Li Yang was really dizzy. She had just drunk some wine in the evening and then bumped into the wall. There was no need for her to pretend to be dizzy.
Seeing Li Yang like this, Sister Qian was so angry that she pointed at Yang Chunhua, Feng Mei and the other two and said, "You are such vicious women! Li Yang is your daughter and granddaughter after all. How could you do such a cruel thing for money?"
She said to the woman who followed in, "Xiao Zhao, call the police quickly and tell them they're beating someone up!"
Although Sister Qian likes to gossip, she is also kind-hearted. Although she and Feng Mei dislike each other, they have kept to themselves. After hearing what Li Yang said to her during the day, her contempt and hostility towards Feng Mei continued to rise. When she saw Feng Mei coming with Yang Chunhua and Yue Hong in the evening, she knew that something bad must be wrong, so she pulled Sister Zhao who lived nearby over to serve as a witness for Li Yang.
When Yang Chunhua heard they were going to call the police, she got anxious: "Why call the police? We're disciplining our own granddaughter, what does it have to do with you?" She winked at Yue Hong and Feng Mei, "This is our family affair, stay out of your own way!"
So what if someone was hurt? There is no law that says you can't discipline your own children. As the saying goes, "A filial son is made under the stick," it's just that the blow was a little too harsh.
Yang Chunhua had a gloomy face, looking extremely vicious, but Sister Qian was not afraid at all: "Bah, can't you discipline your child in a nice way? Why do you have to do such a cruel thing? Everyone knows that you sold your daughter for the betrothal money from the Fu family!"
She stretched her neck and said to the people outside the door, "Come and see, this is my own mother, grandmother, and aunt, and they actually forced someone to death for money!
They just got married this morning, and then in the evening, while Xiao Ji wasn't home, they rushed into her house and beat her up!"
News of what happened yesterday at the Li family's doorstep had already spread throughout Lie Village, but many people were skeptical. After all, Feng Mei was known for her authoritarianism and Li Yang was known for her timidity. It was impossible for her to be with Ji Huaizhi under Feng Mei's watch. But now, not only were they together, they were even married and living together. Even Pearl couldn't believe it!
Feng Mei had a great reputation, and Li Yang was beaten and bleeding. Anyone who saw such a scene would believe Sister Qian's words without hesitation. So everyone looked at Feng Mei, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law with contempt, and some even cursed them in front of them.
"I've seen vicious people, but I've never seen anyone this vicious. He beat his daughter like this just for money! She was even knocked unconscious!"
"It's such a sin to have such a mother and grandmother!"
"What era is it now? You're still doing the old society stuff, aren't you afraid of getting arrested?"
"It's really pitiful, with blood all over his head..."
Yang Chunhua and the other two sat in the house, listening to the discussions and scolding outside the door, their faces burning. They had originally thought that it would be easy to control Li Yang, but who could have imagined it would turn out like this?
She looked at Li Yang resentfully. It was all her fault. Not only had she married a dirt-poor scoundrel, but she had also ruined their reputation. After tonight's events, word would reach the Fu family before tomorrow. Not only would the marriage be off, but who knew how much criticism they would face.
Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still and stood up to leave.
She pretended to be sad and regretful: "I can't control your family's affairs anymore, you can handle it yourself!"
Yue Hong also hurriedly followed behind: "Yes, sister-in-law, you were the one who beat him up, but it has nothing to do with us."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other and tried to push through the crowd to leave.
Suddenly, the voices of the people who were talking stopped. The two looked up and saw a tall and extremely handsome man walking in.
The man saw Li Yang in Sister Qian's arms. His pupils shrank and he ran to Li Yang. He took Li Yang from Sister Qian and said in a terrifyingly deep voice, "Who hurt her?"
Sister Qian, Sister Zhao, and the other onlookers pointed at Feng Mei, Yang Chunhua, and the other two: "They were the ones who beat us up!"
Yang Chunhua: “!”
Yue Hong: “!”
Yang Chunhua also saw through Ji Huaizhi's identity. After panicking, she immediately put on the airs of an elder, cleared her throat and said, "Um... grandson-in-law, this matter really has nothing to do with us. We came here mainly to resolve the conflict between them."
Yue Hong couldn't help but nod: "Yes, yes, we really didn't beat him up."
Yue Hong was regretting it so much at this moment. She could have been staying at home just fine, so why did she have to join in all this fun?
Faced with Yang Chunhua and Yue Hong's betrayal, Feng Mei was horrified, but her pride still made her straighten her neck and said, "So what if I hit her? I can't hit my own daughter? Even if I beat her to death, she can't...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, a gust of cold wind blew over her. When she came to her senses, she had already fallen to the ground in the middle of the yard. Then her right hand, which was supporting her body, felt as if it was broken.
Her hand might be broken!
She opened her mouth and was about to cry out loud, but she met Ji Huaizhi's eyes full of anger, and all the words were choked by fear.
Ji Huaizhi shouted sternly, "Get out of here!"
