This scene was witnessed by Aunt Chi, who had heard the news and was carrying Chi Tang.
"ah!"
Chi Tang's soft voice rang out like a bamboo whistle.
At the same time, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky!
"Boom!"
A thunderclap shook everyone to their core.
Even Zhou was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks.
Then Zhou watched helplessly as a large willow tree a few steps away from her was struck by a bolt of lightning!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the willow tree burst into flames, and even the fence next to it caught fire!
"Fire! Help!"
Someone suddenly realized what was happening and shouted.
Then one by one they ran to their own water tanks to fetch water and put out the fire!
The fire was extinguished in no time.
However, the thatched huts of the Li family next to the fence were all burned down, and the fence was gone too. Only a dark, hollow trunk of the willow tree remained, emitting billowing black smoke.
All of this seemed to be telling everyone what had just happened.
"Oh my god!"
Zhou's hair and clothes were partially burned off, and she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and urinated on the ground!
She was almost struck dead by lightning!
"I wonder what bad things the Li family did to attract heavenly lightning!"
Suddenly, a clear, slightly immature boy's voice rang out.
Chi Tang's ears twitched, and she perched on Aunt Chi's shoulder, looking around.
Sure enough, not far away, Meng Chenyi, with his handsome face and ethereal figure, stood there, aloof and detached from the world.
Chi Tang gave him a big smile.
Well done!
At this time, what is most needed is guidance of public opinion.
People tend to form preconceived notions, so even if someone mentions Old Man Chi's affairs later, everyone will think that the Li family has committed too many sins and that the Chi family has nothing to do with it.
"Is there any need to say anything more? Li Guangmao and Zhou Shi are a bunch of snakes and rats, constantly causing trouble for Old Man Chi's family. Even God couldn't stand it anymore, could he?"
"The Zhou family even called Chi Tang a jinx before! Let's see who the real jinx is now!"
"Oh my goodness, Zhou scolded Chi Tang just the day before yesterday, and today she's making things difficult for Chi Yongcai. She even threatened to commit suicide to Chi Yongcai, and now heaven has sent down a thunderbolt! The Chi family really does have heaven protecting them."
"Stop talking nonsense. If it weren't for the heavens sending down lightning, wouldn't the Zhou family have run into it? Maybe it was heaven protecting the Zhou family?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Even if God burned down their house, was He protecting them? Why don't you give it a try?"
Old Man Chi stood there, his expression cold and inscrutable: "Mother, as long as you are well, I will not fail to give you the filial piety you deserve during festivals. But I also have children and grandchildren, and I also need to live my own life."
"If you insist on forcing me and keep making a scene, then don't blame me for disowning you!"
After saying that, Old Man Chi took his daughter from Aunt Chi's arms, grabbed his wife's hand, and strode away.
Actually, Uncle Chi has a very soft heart.
Of course, although he resented Zhou for remarrying so quickly, he always thought about Zhou.
Otherwise, the three brothers wouldn't have ended up like this, but Zhou kept causing them trouble.
Even with his soft heart, Old Man Chi is still a man with a large family to support.
With his unreasonable mother on one side and his wife and children who had been patiently enduring him on the other, Old Man Chi's heart had long since turned away from his mother.
This time, Zhou dared not curse anymore.
The thunderclap just now had truly terrified the Zhou family and everyone in the Li family.
Especially Li Guangmao.
This is truly embarrassing!
Looking disheveled, Li Guangmao suddenly turned his head and stared down at Zhou Shi.
His eyes were cold and dark, sinister as if a venomous snake was about to devour Zhou Shi in an instant!
Even though Zhou was used to being beaten, she couldn't help but tremble.
"Listen to me, I... Ah!"
Before Zhou could finish speaking, Li Guangmao kicked her in the face!
With a "bang," Zhou fell to the ground.
One side of his face fell to the ground, while the other side was kicked and was in excruciating pain.
"Wow!"
Zhou lay on the cold ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Two teeth were mixed in with the blood.
Before Zhou could recover, she was hit hard by slaps and punches that left her dizzy.
"Li Guangmao, do you want to beat someone to death?"
"Alright, alright, she's still your wife, what are you doing?"
The villagers, of course, couldn't stand by and watch Li Guangmao beat someone to death, so they quickly stopped him.
But Li Guangmao's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth.
“Zhou, when did I tell you to go ask Chi Yongcai for money? If you think I’m useless, cowardly, and can’t support you, then get the hell out of here!”
"But one thing is certain: Cui Liu is my daughter, my child. If you try to corrupt her again, just you wait! I'll beat you to death."
Li Guangmao made a harsh statement and then dragged Cuiliu, who was so frightened her face turned pale, back into the house.
As for the Zhou family?
hehe.
Those who had come to watch the spectacle dispersed.
No one paid any attention to the Zhou family.
Is it pitiful to be beaten like this?
They are truly pitiful.
But considering what she's done, nobody wants to waste their feelings on her.
Mrs. Zhou lay sprawled on the ground, unable to get up due to the pain. Looking around, she saw no one willing to help her, and the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears.
How did things turn out like this?
——
Then, Old Man Chi angrily carried Chi Tang home.
After arriving home, the family gathered together and couldn't help but talk about the lightning that had just struck.
