The man, whose hand had been scratched, swung his fist and punched her, yelling, "You slut, you're even more despicable than those women in brothels! What are you pretending for?"
Xingping's wife was punched to the ground, and half of her face swelled up instantly.
"If you dare hit me, I'll call the police!"
"Go ahead and report it, you bitch, you scratched me first. So many people can testify, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Xingsong's wife was delighted; she didn't even have to lift a finger.
"Xingsong's wife, why is this woman looking for Xingping again?" someone asked.
Xingsong's wife pulled a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket. "Do you even need to ask? Nobody wants him anymore. He's had his fun. You can't just marry him, can you? Would you marry him as a wife or a mother?"
The people surrounding them burst into laughter.
“Nobody wants me, but I do. Come with me!” The old bachelor in the village grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.
"Silly Zhuzi, you dare to want someone like that? Aren't you afraid of being cuckolded?" someone standing next to him joked.
Silly Pillar wiped his nose. "Don't worry, it won't stop me from using it. It would be even better if I could earn some back, hehe."
"This silly Zhuzi, he's actually pretty smart. He sleeps for free and still has to go out and earn some money for you." Everyone burst into laughter again.
Xingping's wife got up; she hadn't come back to argue with these people. She jogged home.
Xingsong's wife quickly caught up, saying, "Don't go to my house! Don't make my doorway look like a fox den. It'll be so slutty, it'll be ten miles away!"
Xingping's wife, afraid of being caught, ran even faster, rushing upstairs and banging on the door. "Xingping, husband, are you home? I'm back, open the door for me!"
Xingsong's wife caught up, panting, and grabbed Xingping's wife by the hair, pulling her down the stairs. Xingping's wife clung tightly to the stair railing, screaming for her husband in a pitiful voice.
Xingsong's wife slapped her mouth twice. "You're quite old, calling her 'husband' all the time. How disgusting! Your fat pig husband is in jail. Go shout there. If you can't find that old man, go find the young man. Who are you trying to disgust in our house? We have nothing to do with you anymore. A slut like you, in this life and the next, never set foot in the Li family's door again."
"Xingping has forgiven me, and we're about to remarry. This is my home, why are you kicking me out?" Xingping's wife let go and started fighting with Xingsong's wife.
"Pah! Someone like you, a secondhand woman, my brother-in-law would rather stay single for life than marry you! Keep dreaming!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! It's none of your business how we manage things!"
The two men were fighting while spitting at each other.
Those watching the spectacle kept their distance; it was disgusting.
Finally, the village chief arrived and had several old women drive Xingping's wife out of the community.
Xingping's wife, her hair disheveled and her face scratched, sat at the entrance of the residential area, yelling at the top of her lungs, "This is too much!" She wiped away her tears, took a taxi back to her parents' home, knowing she couldn't handle this alone and needed her family's support.
At her parents' house, Xingping's wife knelt at the gate, pleading, "Mom and Dad, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I want to go back and live a good life with Xingping. Xingping has forgiven me, but his sister-in-law won't let me in. Mom and Dad, just look at your daughter being bullied like this! Mom and Dad~"
She cried so hard that snot and tears streamed down her face.
Inside, the two older brothers smoked silently, while the elderly couple wore dark expressions; they didn't want to see this disgraceful girl even once.
"Why don't we send her to the Li family? If Xingping still wants her, she can go back and live a good life." The eldest brother stomped out his cigarette butt.
