"Outrageous! What are you all yelling about? Are you trying to rebel?"
Cui Yong roared in anger, his fierce appearance so intimidating that many people dared not utter a word.
Ye Weiwei scoffed: "Rebellion? Rebellion against whom? This is a new society now, the people are the masters of the country, and we who are here are all the masters of the country. You say we are rebelling? Are we rebelling against ourselves?"
Ye Weiwei sized Cui Yong up and down, narrowed her eyes, and her gaze flashed with danger: "Cui Yong, is it? You're so presumptuous one minute and rebellious the next. I didn't expect you to still have such feudal remnants in your mind. Is this the kind of ideology the staff in your various committees have? Enjoying the power given to you by us, the masters who are in charge, you use your petty authority to turn against us. I think you're the one who's truly presumptuous!"
With her last words, Ye Weiwei subtly amplified her mental power, making her words resounding and deafening to everyone present!
Since Cui Yong joined the committees, he has been domineering and has done countless evil deeds. Wherever he goes, people are afraid of him and try to curry favor with him. He has never been treated like this before.
Having been repeatedly criticized by Ye Weiwei in front of so many people and losing face, he had been driven to the brink of irrationality.
"Ye Weiwei, how dare you incite the masses! You're asking for death!"
After Cui Yong finished speaking, he raised his gun and fired at Ye Weiwei.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire startled everyone, causing them to scream in terror!
"Cui Yong! Stop!"
Duan Yannian was shocked that Cui Yong dared to fire a gun in public and rushed forward to stop him, but it was too late.
Just as he was feeling angry, heartbroken, and guilty, unsure how to explain things to Old Master Qin, his vision blurred, and the blood-stained scene he had imagined did not appear.
He steadied himself and then realized that Ye Weiwei was standing unharmed in front of him, while Cui Yong's wrist, who had fired the gun, was broken, and the gun in his hand was being held by a slender, jade-like hand, pressed against his temple.
"Weiwei, are you alright?"
Duan Yannian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at Ye Weiwei with lingering shock in his eyes.
"Weiwei!" Aunt Hua was so frightened by the gunshot that her legs went weak. She rushed to Ye Weiwei's side and carefully examined her body. "Where were you shot? Are you alright?"
Ye Weiwei smiled and gently comforted Aunt Hua: "Aunt Hua, don't worry, that shot didn't hit me, I'm not hurt."
Aunt Hua looked at Ye Weiwei in disbelief: "Really? Don't lie to me. I know you're a strong-willed child, but you can't be stubborn about something like this."
Ye Weiwei: "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you."
Aunt Hua examined Ye Weiwei carefully again, and only after confirming that she found nothing unusual did she believe it, and then she burst into tears.
“These damned bastards! How can they bully us like this! Taking advantage of Qin Lao and Qin Xiao's absence, they come to our door and bully us women. Is there no justice? Is there no law? This is a new society, how can there still be such evil officials who oppress the good and do not distinguish right from wrong! How can we be the masters of our own homes? Waaah... This is too much! They dared to shoot and kill people in broad daylight without any evidence... Waaah... They are not leaving us any way to survive... The officials are unreasonable and bully ordinary people..."
Ye Weiwei held a gun to Cui Yong with one hand, and gently patted Aunt Hua's back with the other to comfort her: "Aunt Hua, don't be sad..."
Hearing Ye Weiwei's words, Aunt Hua felt even more aggrieved and cried even louder.
"How can my wife not be sad? How many wounds and how much blood did Old Qin suffer in the hail of bullets back then? In order to fight the war and support those soldiers, he contributed money and effort, and devoted himself to the cause. In order to raise money, he sold his property several times, and finally exhausted all his savings. Now that we have won the war, what has he gained?"
She suffered so much from being slandered last time, and she's only been back for a few months. She hasn't even fully recovered, and she's already starting to do physically demanding work again! And Qin Xiao, how many injuries has that kid suffered in the army over the years? When I saw all those scars on his body when he came back the other day, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken!
But what good are all those merits these father and son have accumulated? These beasts from various committees can come knocking on people's doors at any time, finding some excuse to cause trouble! It's so disheartening... Waaah... You heartless bastards, if you want to beat or kill me, come at this old woman! I'm a useless old woman, do whatever you want with me, I don't care if I live or die, just stop committing these atrocities against the loyal and good! Waaah..."
No one present expected that Aunt Hua's emotions would erupt after being provoked by Cui Yong's shot. Her words made the people in the surrounding compound sigh.
Some people started crying because of what she said.
Some of their relatives and friends had also been harmed by the various committees. They had been angry but dared not speak out, and even dared not contact or get involved with those people openly, for fear that the committees would find fault with them and implicate them as well.
Ye Weiwei put her arm around Aunt Hua's shoulder and hugged her tightly. "Aunt Hua, don't cry, don't cry! Whether it's my father-in-law or my husband, everything they did was for this country, for a peaceful and prosperous world. They did what they wanted to do. Even if there were some setbacks, I believe they have never had any regrets."
Because this China, this world at peace, is their shared belief. Besides, the vast majority of people in this world are good; a few stinking cockroaches are nothing to worry about, just crush them.
Aunt Hua wiped away her tears, "I just feel wronged on behalf of Old Master Qin and Qin Xiao. They are such good people..."
Ye Weiwei smiled like the sun after the rain, "Aunt Hua is also a very, very good person. With your words, everything they have done is worthwhile."
Aunt Hua said embarrassedly, "I'm just a cook, how can I compare to Old Master Qin and the others... Weiwei, be careful!"
When Aunt Hua saw Cui Yong take a dagger out of his body and stab Ye Weiwei in the heart while Ye Weiwei was distracted and comforting her, she was so frightened that she rushed over to block it for Ye Weiwei.
Ye Weiwei had deliberately exposed this opening, and was well prepared. She was not going to let Aunt Hua get hurt. She grabbed Aunt Hua and gently pulled her aside, then quickly dodged Cui Yong's attack. She then grabbed Cui Yong's wrist and twisted it. With a crack, Cui Yong's intact wrist was also ruined.
Reaching out to catch the dagger in Cui Yong's hand, Ye Weiwei twirled the blade, then with a cold glint in her eyes, she swiftly severed the tendons in both of Cui Yong's hands.
"ah……"
Cui Yong's shrill screams echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Ye Weiwei, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're dead! You're dead!"
Ye Weiwei looked at Cui Yong's twisted appearance, as if he wanted to skin her alive, and sneered, "You're wrong, even if you die, I won't die! So many eyes were watching just now, you were shooting and stabbing, you're quite capable, I was just acting in self-defense."
