Ma Fugui was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that his intimidation had worked, Chen Jingyan continued to fabricate lies with apparent conviction:
"Uncle, let me tell you, my uncle has a terrible temper. He was just holding back from hitting you. If he ever fights, someone's going to die! Do you know how ferocious wolves are? When my uncle was in the countryside, he could fight wolves bare-handed and he wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Nobody in the village dared to mess with him!"
The sound of sharpening the knife paused for a moment, then became even louder.
Ma Fugui was truly frightened.
Shen Honggang was tall and strong, and had built up a muscular physique from years of manual labor. The skinny guy, whose body had been ravaged by alcohol, was no match for Shen Honggang.
Just then, the sound of chopping meat came from the yard.
"That's my uncle testing how sharp the knife is! You'd better run!"
Ma Fugui believed it to be true and stumbled away.

Shen Jingyan looked at his disheveled figure and laughed contemptuously.
Shen Honggang was right; he was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
After Ma Fugui left, the courtyard returned to peace.
Shen Yulan peeked out of the kitchen window and exchanged a knowing smile with Shen Jingyan.
She was sharpening a knife in the kitchen just now, and she was deliberately sharpening it very loudly so that Ma Fugui could hear her.
Zhang Guizhi and Shen Honggang came out of the house.
Zhang Guizhi looked at Shen Jingyan with delight and laughed, "Jingya is really resourceful; she scared him away with just a few words."
Shen Honggang laughed along, "My niece is quite adept at dealing with scoundrels and ruffians."
“Aunt Zhang, don’t worry. Even if that old woman comes looking for trouble, I have a way to make her speechless.”
Shen Jingyan has already dealt with several shrewish women, whether it was Chen Feng and her daughter or Granny Ding and her daughter, they were all eventually subdued by her.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guizhi's prediction came true. Not long after the family finished dinner, there was a loud knocking on the door, accompanied by cursing.
This time it wasn't Ma Fugui, but an old woman in her sixties with gray hair. She was big and burly, with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, giving her a mean-spirited appearance.
"Zhang Guizhi, you shameless slut, you dare to seduce men behind Fugui's back? You think you can bully my Fugui just because you have a man backing you up? Come out here! Don't hide if you have the guts! You stupid hen that can't bear sons, come out here!"
Zhang Guizhi frowned, her hands clenched tightly, and her lips turned white with distress.
Granny Ma was outside the door, banging on it loudly. Her strength and demeanor made her seem nothing like a woman in her sixties.
Just now, Ma Fugui returned home with a black eye. When Ma's mother saw that her son had been beaten, she was furious. Without saying a word, she came to Sanfang Hutong to confront him.
She shared the same thoughts as Ma Fugui, refusing to acknowledge that Zhang Guizhi and Ma Fugui were divorced. In her mind, Zhang Guizhi was still the daughter-in-law she could beat and scold at will, whom she could bully however she wanted when she was in a bad mood.
Shen Jingyan said to everyone, "You all stay seated and don't move. I'll go and talk to this old lady."
Zhang Guizhi looked worried and tried to get up to grab Shen Jingyan's hand.
Gu Zhiyun smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, I've never seen anyone with a sharp tongue like Jingya. Just sit back and watch the show."

He was always very confident in his young wife when it came to dealing with the most despicable scoundrels.
Shen Jingyan walked to the front door and opened it.
Granny Ma didn't even glance at Shen Jingyan before striding inside.
Shen Jingyan stopped her and asked with a smile, "You don't live here, do you? You can talk at the door if you need to."
Granny Ma saw that Shen Jingyan was a young girl and didn't take her seriously at all.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours? I'm looking for my daughter-in-law!"
Shen Jingyan feigned confusion and asked, "Daughter-in-law? Who is your daughter-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Ma pointed at the inner gate and cursed, "That shameless Zhang Guizhi! She's over forty and still seducing men, does she really think she's still a virgin? A good-for-nothing who can't bear a son!"
Shen Jingyan's smile vanished, replaced by a sharp retort: "You're not a good-for-nothing, but you gave birth to a good-for-nothing son. He's over forty, and when he gets beaten, his mother has to step in to defend him. It's laughable!"
Granny Ma never imagined that such a pretty young girl would have such a sharp tongue.

She felt a lump in her throat, but didn't know how to refute it.
Zhang Guizhi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Shen Hong glanced towards the door, then turned back to Zhang Guizhi and smiled, "I told you my niece has a sharp tongue, didn't I?"
Seeing that Granny Ma was speechless after being choked, Shen Jingyan pointed to the door and said, "Grandma, you're so old, and you still come here to scold people. It must be hard for you. But I need to give you some legal advice. Aunt Zhang has already divorced your son. Legally speaking, the two have no relationship. She is not a daughter-in-law you can beat and scold at will. Your cursing is an insult to Aunt Zhang's character. Aunt Zhang can sue you in court. You should take advantage of your strength and go home!"
Granny Ma was so angry she could only stare helplessly.
"Who asked you to gossip? I just want to curse that bitch! She's only been divorced for a few years and she's already hooking up with men. Can't she live without a man?"
