When Lu Yongguo's wife couldn't beat him, she lay on the ground and threw a tantrum.
"God, I can't live anymore! The brigade leader's family is all-powerful and they're going to bully people to death."
Ye Zhiyu had lost her patience and shouted, "Shut up!"
With the support of her spiritual power, everyone was intimidated by her aura.
But no one thought it was wrong. They just thought that since the family was powerful and influential, Ye Zhiyu had been influenced by them from a young age, and his aura of authority was different from that of ordinary people.
"You've cried enough, you've made enough of a scene, let's solve the problem."
Turning to Lu Yongguo, her face was full of smiles, yet they gave off a chilling feeling.
"You're going to call the police? Okay."
"Can anyone explain how this happened?"
A young man who had witnessed the whole thing stepped forward and explained the whole story.
As for the foul language Lu Jianshe used against Ye Zhiyu, he didn't say it; he only said that Lu Jianshe had said some unclean things.
Lu Yongguo still wouldn't let go of Lu Chen: "My son only said a few words, and he beat him to death. He broke the law, and I want to sue him for intentional injury."
He didn't think his son was wrong; it was just a few words, nothing serious.
"A few words? Okay, starting tomorrow, I'll start spreading rumors that your wife is having an affair with Old Xie at the village entrance. It'll only be a few words."
Old Xie, who lived at the entrance of the village, was a widower. His wife had died long ago, and he spent his days harassing other people's wives. Everyone avoided him.
Everyone thought through all their sad memories before they stopped laughing. The whole family was shameless; their son had ruined the girl's reputation.
They just casually mentioned it in a few words; like father, like son.
Lu Yongguo's face turned ashen, and his wife's face turned even paler. She raised her voice and said, "You bitch, you're spewing filth, I'm going to kill you."
Her reaction was so strong that several older women quickly pulled her away.
No one thought much of it, assuming she just didn't want to be slandered. But that made it ridiculous; she cared about her own reputation while trampling on others.
Ye Zhiyu patted her chest and said calmly, "Oh my, that was scary."
Everyone: ...At least use an emoji.
"You can't even handle this? Didn't you say it would just be a few words?"
"I'm not going to argue with a woman like you who's all hair and no brains. I'm taking Lu Chen with me today."
The villagers didn't care, but Lu Yongguo had relatives there, so they couldn't not help him. Several men surrounded him.
“I’d like to see who dares to touch him. If you dare to take him away, I’ll report him to the police for being a hooligan.”
Lu Yongguo's expression changed. The reason he was able to stick to Lu Chen's story was that he was betting that Ye Zhiyu wouldn't dare to tell anyone what had happened to her, since a woman's reputation was the most important thing.
Lu Chen had also considered this point, "Let me go."
Ye Zhiyu glared at him, "I'll settle the score with you later."
She turned back and looked at Lu Yongguo with disdain: "Also, have you forgotten that my father is a soldier? What crime is it to insult a military family member? I can't remember for a moment."
"Squad Leader Lu knows about intentional injury, so this insult to a military family member... tsk, he should know even more. Why don't you give us a little lesson?"
Lu Yongguo's face turned deathly pale, and he trembled all over.
Yes, how could he forget that Ye Zhiyu was no ordinary educated youth?
"That's right. Ye Zhiqing is a military family member. If his son talks about her like that, she will definitely pursue the matter."
"How can Lu Yongguo's family be so brainless?"
"It's flooded."
Lu Yongguo's relatives didn't dare to make a move either. He could abandon his relatives, but he had to save his own life.
"Yongguo, I have things to do at home, so I can't help you with this. Don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."
After saying that, he took off running.
Once they got started, others followed suit, and soon only the three of them were left; all their daughters had been married off to earn money.
Ye Zhiyu put her hands on her hips and said, "If you won't explain, I will. The crime of hooliganism is judged according to the severity of the circumstances, and is punishable by imprisonment of up to seven years, detention or probation, and in serious cases, execution."
"Insulting military family members without causing substantial harm is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years."
In this era, people don't understand the law very well, but they have a natural awe for the police and the military.
Upon hearing Ye Zhiyu's words, they all covered their mouths and resolved to keep their mouths shut from now on.
Ye Zhiyu stared at the couple, who had turned deathly pale, and said casually, "How about this, you go and sue Lu Chen for intentional injury, and I'll sue Lu Jianshe for hooliganism and insulting military families. How about that? Fair enough, right?"
"Of course, I have to tell you that I will testify for Lu Chen that he acted bravely and righteously, and that his act of bravery and righteousness did not constitute excessive self-defense. When I bring Lu Chen back, you can watch your son be sentenced to more than ten years in prison for two crimes, how about that?"
The people at the educated youth settlement all stood behind Ye Zhiyu and Lu Chen, intending to tell them that they were also witnesses.
A man who spends all his time fooling around with Lu Jianshe can't stand Ye Zhiyu being so smug; he's nothing but a filthy bitch.
He asked her maliciously, "Why are you so protective of Lu Chen? Who is he to you?"
A fierce glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes as he lifted his foot and walked towards him, followed by the educated youth behind him.
The man was startled and quickly retreated a considerable distance.
Ye Zhiyu raised her hand to stop him, looking at him with disdain: "Who is he? I already said, he's the one who stood up for me when my reputation was damaged. As for you..."
Her gaze swept across the entire room, not missing a single person, whether they admired her, hated her, or regarded her as a whore.
She remembered who was guilty.
"As for you, and some others hidden in the crowd, they are scoundrels who smear women and verbally humiliate them."
"What, you want to experience what it's like to be the defendant?"
Before he could react, his mother grabbed his ear from behind.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
"You little brat, you still know pain? What nonsense are you spouting? Sorry, Ye Zhiqing, he has mental problems, don't take it to heart."
That little brat, is Ye Zhiqing someone you can mess with? He went up there and started babbling on and on, he deserves to be taught a lesson.
"No, no, no, I won't sue, I won't sue."
Lu Yongguo said tremblingly.
"Really? It would be such a shame not to sue. I'm really looking forward to it."
At this moment, Lu Yongguo's wife understood and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, we won't sue."
Her hair, which had just been torn by Tian Hongfang, was now disheveled and loose.
Ye Zhiyu snorted coldly. If she weren't unsure whether Lu Chen's actions constituted excessive self-defense and unfamiliar with the definition of acting bravely in this situation, she wouldn't have let Lu Jianshe off the hook.
However, if she can't do it openly, can't she also resort to underhanded methods?
With the matter mostly resolved, Lu Weimin calmly stepped forward to clean up the mess.
They sent Lu Jianshe home, dispersed the onlookers, and reorganized the group to catch fish.
The atmosphere became lively again, but no one dared to mention what had just happened; they were afraid.
