Qin Xiaoxiao ignored that, rolled up her sleeves and stepped out the door, waving her hand behind her, "Go to the street office and find the director. I believe it now, no one can control this old woman anymore."
Su Lu glanced at the immobile old woman, told Qin Xiaoxiao to be careful, and stepped out the door, closing it behind him before leaving.
The two children were still sleeping inside, and he didn't want to wake them up, as that would ruin his and his wife's time together. But now it seemed there was no hope; it was all that old woman's fault.
Su Lu left and glared fiercely at the old woman.
Just as the old woman caught her breath, she looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao at the gate. Before she could speak, Su Lu glared at her, immediately silencing Qin Xiaoxiao. She stared at Su Lu with infatuation until his figure disappeared into the alley.
Qin Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused.
Even in this state, she's still leering at her husband. How lecherous must she be?
It seems she cheated on her husband quite a bit when she was younger.
If this is how it is when you get old, how could you control yourself when you were young?
"You old hag, you think you're so great? I didn't want to bother with you because you're old, so I told you to get lost. But instead of leaving, you dare to curse at me? Who gave you the guts?"
Do I know you? Why are you coming to my door to borrow something? Or maybe fish?
These days, it's so hard to get a piece of meat. Who's rich enough to lend out meat? Since you're so capable, can I borrow a piece of meat from you too? Not much, just ten pounds will do.
"It's one thing to insult me, but to dare curse my daughter and son? I think you're asking for trouble."
Before the old woman could recover from Su Lu, Qin Xiaoxiao slapped her several times.
Qin Xiaoxiao's hand was so heavy that Su Lu probably couldn't withstand it. One slap and the old woman's face swelled up. After several slaps, the old woman's face was so swollen that it was unrecognizable, and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Pooh!"
The old woman felt something in her mouth, and when she spat it out, a tooth came out along with blood.
The old woman was startled and sat down on the ground, wailing.
"Oh no! Murder! Murder! The new tenant has killed someone! Someone's trying to kill an old woman! Help! Help!"
Qin Xiaoxiao squinted, but didn't stop her. She just stood there and watched her cry and make a fuss.
It was lunchtime, and those who were at work or had gone home for lunch had just finished eating. Hearing the commotion outside, they all came out, opening all their doors and standing at their own doorways to watch the excitement.
"What happened? What's going on? Why is there such a commotion?"
"Isn't this Granny Wang? Why is she sitting on the ground? And her face is swollen."
"Isn't this the one that just moved in? Is the renovation finished? There are people home, and I can even smell the aroma of fish. It looks like they've moved back in."
"Old Wang was sitting at her door, yelling and cursing. It seems she went to her house to ask for fish, but they wouldn't give it to her, so she beat them up."
...
Everyone's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
Holy crap! After all these years, someone has finally managed to deal with this old hag.
Having been her neighbor for so many years, which house hasn't she visited? Which house hasn't she borrowed things from?
This old woman Wang not only borrows, but she's also dishonest. Whenever she goes to someone's house, something is always missing after she leaves. Now, people are afraid to open their doors even in broad daylight. They have to ask permission before opening the door if someone knocks, otherwise, as soon as she enters, something will be missing. They have to keep an eye on things, even a needle, or it will disappear in the blink of an eye.
These days, you need ration coupons to buy even a needle, and they're industrial coupons. Who's rich enough to let her steal like that?
If you go to her door to ask for it, this old woman Wang will immediately give you a show of what it means to throw a tantrum and curse your ancestors from eight generations to ten generations after you. Who can stand being cursed like that?
You should take her hand. She's old and could extort all your assets from you. Besides, her family are all troublesome people, so none of the neighbors want to deal with them.
It's fair to say that Granny Wang's reputation in this area is utterly infamous, and so are her family members.
Now that Qin Xiaoxiao has moved in, she's clashed with Granny Wang and even beat her up, much to the delight of all the neighbors.
Granny Wang's rant wasn't over yet; she slapped the ground and cursed Qin Xiaoxiao, saying she was inhuman and wouldn't even spare an old woman like herself, and that she should be arrested and tortured.
Qin Xiaoxiao ignored her. Listening to the neighbors whispering about what kind of family the Wang family was was better than listening to her nonsense. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. If she didn't understand her thoroughly, how could she deal with her next move?
With one tooth missing and her face swollen, Granny Wang's speech became less fluent, and she couldn't curse as quickly. Qin Xiaoxiao even had the mood to curse back at her while she swallowed.
Qin Xiaoxiao had also received the scolding education from the village aunties, and she had learned it properly. She was just as good at scolding as Wang Pozi, and she brought out all sorts of names, including her father, mother, and uncles. She even scolded Wang Pozi's grandfather's old sow as if it were Wang Pozi's own grandmother, otherwise she wouldn't be so fat.
Granny Wang wasn't as quick-witted as Qin Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't out-argue her, which made Granny Wang roll her eyes in anger.
Just then, Su Lu arrived with the people from the neighborhood. Pointing at Granny Wang, he said, "Director, it's this old lady. She came knocking on our door in the middle of the day to borrow fish. When we refused, she stood at our door and started cursing us. She even cursed at our newborn twins."
Su Lu's appearance caused a stir among the neighbors. Everyone stared intently at Su Lu's face. Some young wives even ignored the infatuated looks on their husbands' faces, while young girls blushed and looked at Su Lu shyly. Even the grown men stared at Su Lu with red faces, unwilling to look away.
This person is so good-looking!
Is this a celestial being?
Even the gods in heaven couldn't look more like this, could they?
Even the gods in New Year paintings aren't as handsome as him.
Clearly, Su Lu's first appearance caused a sensation. Although Qin Xiaoxiao was also beautiful, the most beautiful woman in their area at the moment, Su Lu was even more beautiful than Qin Xiaoxiao; she was simply inhuman...
The man looked like that, and the men around him didn't want to show their faces. They felt they weren't even worthy of being a supporting character, no, they weren't even worthy of kneeling down to carry his shoes. They thought he was ugly and ruined the beautiful scene of him standing there.
Everyone was so engrossed in watching that they didn't hear a word Su Lu said.
When Granny Wang heard Su Lu's voice, she suddenly turned around and looked at him, then lowered her head shyly.
Her expression disgusted Su Lu, who turned his head away with a look of revulsion, not even wanting Wang Pozi to see his profile.
The neighborhood director, surnamed Wang, was a woman in her forties. Upon seeing this, she twitched her lips and her eyes revealed a knowing look.
When Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao first arrived at the street office, they caused quite a stir. If Su Lu hadn't already been married, the older women working there with daughters would have devoured him whole. As a result, the people in the street office all liked Su Lu and would smile when they saw him, but they would give Qin Xiaoxiao the cold shoulder. After all, she was Su Lu's wife.
