Shen Qingqiu looked at the woman in front of him, covering his aching forehead with his hands, and said with a pale face: "Thank you for saving me."
"Eat something first—" The woman wiped her tears, and saw the little girl next to her bringing a bowl of porridge over. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly handed the porridge in her hand to Shen Qingqiu's mouth.
But before Shen Qingqiu could eat it, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a woman with a ferocious face pointed at him and cursed, "Didn't you hang yourself with your belt? Didn't you say you couldn't breathe?" She glanced at the still hot white porridge, "You are the only one who can save people? You are pretending to be a Bodhisattva by using my family's food, you flatter me!"
Shen Qingqiu half-closed his eyes and saw the woman and the little girl hugging each other and crying.
The woman said fiercely, "Don't cry and make a scene here. I told you to marry a rich man and live a life of luxury. I have been supporting you, a freeloader, at home for so long. Now that you are married off, it will be of some use!"
Shen Qingqiu smiled coldly when he heard this, and then looked at the little girl who was trembling with fear beside him, "If you say that, then why don't you marry that old eunuch and enjoy your life?"
"Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?!"
"Not only do I dare to talk to you like this, I also dare to hit you!"
Under the woman's shocked eyes, Shen Qingqiu threw the porridge bowl beside him, and after the bowl broke, he picked up the broken porcelain pieces, took two steps instead of three, and jumped directly onto Lin Meihua.
Shen Qingqiu was good at martial arts and had such strength, so it was no problem for him to deal with a peasant woman.
Lin Meihua had been dominating the Fang family for so many years, she had never been beaten like this before. She wanted to fight back immediately, but she couldn't get up because the person was holding her head down.
Feeling both pain and anger, he yelled at the woman, Liu Ye'er, "Sister-in-law, why don't you pull her away!"
Liu Ye'er had been oppressed by Lin Meihua for so many years that she instinctively followed her instructions and tried to pull Shen Qing away. However, Shen Qingqiu glared at her and said, "You saved me, so I'm willing to help you. Are you willing to let your daughter marry a eunuch?"
Liu Ye'er gritted her teeth. Of course she didn't want to.
Liu Ye'er's daughter Fang Xiaoxiao was also pinching Liu Ye'er's arm, her round eyes full of fear.
"Then watch carefully."
The mother is such a jerk, no wonder both of them are bullied.
Each of Shen Qingqiu's punches was not light, and Lin Meihua couldn't even utter a complete scream.
The other people in the Fang family outside also heard the noise, but they didn't come in. In the past few days, Fang Xiaoxiao's family members were unwilling to come in, and Lin Meihua went to deal with them many times and beat the mother and daughter until they cried. This time was probably the same, and they thought that the people crying and begging for mercy were Fang Xiaoxiao and her daughter.
Outside, Old Lady Fang was feeding her grandson eggs. She frowned after listening for a long time and said, "Da Gen, go and take a look. Don't let your wife beat someone to death. They are getting married in less than two months."
Fang Dagen, Lin Meihua's husband, put down the hoe he was wiping and opened his niece's door.
However, it was not his wife beating his niece as he imagined, but the strange woman who was rescued by his niece and her friends that day was sitting on his wife's head, pulling her hair and slapping her back and forth!
"You little girl, you've gone too far!"
"I was just worried that you wouldn't come!" Shen Qingqiu raised his head and smiled. Without waiting for Fang Dagen to come over, he walked over and kicked him in the chest! Fang Dagen was kicked to the ground and couldn't get up. He tried to get up several times but couldn't. He just felt a burning pain in his chest, "You stinky girl...
Shen Qingqiu smiled coldly and lifted up Lin Meihua's hair. He put the broken porcelain pieces in his hand against her neck. Fang Dagen immediately became anxious, "You dare?"
Shen Qingqiu curled his lips and neatly cut a bloody mark on Lin Meihua's neck, causing Lin Meihua to gasp in pain. "Master, don't come over. This is a crazy girl. She must be a desperado. She had so many knife wounds on her body when I rescued her. Maybe she was a bandit. She can do anything!" Lin Meihua didn't want to die. Her eldest son had just passed the imperial examination and would enjoy his days of happiness in the future.
If I had known, why would I save her! When the mother and daughter saved people that day, she just saw Shen Qingqiu's good looks. If she had saved someone with such a good look, she would have made a lot of money if she sold him. If she had known that this would happen, Lin Meihua would never have asked the mother and daughter to save people. If she had known, why would she save people? She would have stabbed her first.
"Madman, yes, I am a madman, and it is not illegal for a madman to kill people," Shen Qingqiu held Lin Meihua tightly, "But you are right, I can really do anything now," and looked at Fang Dagen, "Call that old woman in!" She also heard these people during the days she was unconscious, and the mother and daughter were her saviors.
Since my savior has been bullied, I have to avenge them.
It took Fang Dagen a while to realize who she was talking about. "What are you going to do?"
"I'll say it again, let that old woman in!" As he said that, he pinched Lin Meihua's neck again.
Fang Dagen had no choice but to go and call.
Old Mrs. Fang, leaning on a cane and taking small steps, ran over quickly and started cursing before she even entered the door, "You jinx are causing trouble for me again--" Just as she was about to curse, she saw this strange woman holding her hostage on the slope.
Then Shen Qingqiu, who was holding Lin Meihua hostage at the door, pushed her away, and the broken porcelain hung on the old lady again, "Have you scolded enough, old woman?"
"How dare you, you little bitch——" Old Lady Fang had always been domineering at home, and she had never been scolded like this before. Before she could finish her words, Shen Qingqiu slapped her in the face.
The force almost knocked out the old lady’s teeth. When she looked at Shen Qingqiu, Old Lady Fang was completely incredulous, “You, dare to hit me, my wife saved your life——”
"You said it was your wife who saved him. What does it have to do with you, a vicious old woman?" Although she had been unconscious these days, she had heard the old lady swearing a lot and had long wanted to slap her mouth to pieces.
Old Mrs. Fang wanted to curse, but her mouth was full of blood and she couldn't curse.
Especially since Shen Qingqiu's other hand was holding the broken porcelain pieces against his neck.
Liu Ye'er on the side was a little scared, but Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Qingqiu with shining eyes. Shen Qingqiu pressed the old lady's neck and said to the little girl: "Whatever you want to do, I will listen to you."
The little girl had a plan in mind. Seeing Shen Qingqiu looking at her, she gritted her teeth and said to her grandmother: "Now let Fang Dagen go to the village chief and tell him that our family wants to split up."
While Fang Dagen was out, Shen Qingqiu forced Old Lady Fang to go to the yard and start writing a letter about dividing the family property, but Old Lady Fang was illiterate.
Fang Yuan came back carrying a wooden barrel. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Meihua and Old Lady Fang, whose faces were red from being slapped. Old Lady Fang saw him coming back and said quickly, "A Yuan, please try to persuade Xiao Xiao. She has been bewitched by this crazy woman from outside. She insisted that you write a letter to separate the family. How can you separate the family when your father is gone? If this gets out, won't people criticize you?"
Fang Xiaoxiao's biological father died when he was building a house for someone five years ago. He was the one who helped Fang Dagen get married and built the house. Logically, Fang Dagen should help his deceased brother to support his wife and children, otherwise he would be laughed at by the villagers.
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at her brother, "You don't have to persuade me--"
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan put down the bucket and said, "Divide it. Grandma can't read, but I can. I'll write it." When his father was still alive, Fang Yuan also went to a private school, and his name was given by the teacher.
“What a sin! How could one or two of you be so unfilial!” Just as Old Lady Fang was about to howl in pain, she was kicked by Shen Qingqiu and immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
But the old lady was unwilling to give too many things to the Fang family, so Shen Qingqiu asked, "Just tell me what belongs to you at home."
Fang Xiaoxiao told him everything.
Shen Qingqiu said, "Okay, then I'll read it and you guys write it."
Fang Yuan glanced at the girl and naturally remembered that she was rescued from the bottom of the mountain by his mother and sister. Without thinking too much, he took out a pen from the house.
Shen Qingqiu didn't allow the trivial things to be written, mainly the family's dozen acres of land, house and family savings. The money earned over the years was in the hands of the old lady and Lin Meihua, no one knew how much it was, Fang Xiaoxiao said bluntly, "I don't want the money they earn, but give us the twenty taels of silver that Dad paid back then!"
Old Mrs. Fang glared at him and said, "You heartless person, your father died and we gave you that little compensation, and you're still thinking about it. Isn't it money that your family of three eat and drink at home?" When she said this, not to mention Liu Ye'er, Fang Yuan was so angry that he clenched his fists. When his father died, he left him twenty taels of pension.
But their family has never seen a penny, and now they have to contribute to the family. Not only does they have to pay the twenty taels of silver, they even have to sell their own sister!
"Is your skin itchy?" Shen Qingqiu asked softly.
Old Mrs. Fang calmed down instantly.
Soon Fang Dagen came back with the village chief and his men. To be honest, they didn't believe it at first when they heard that Fang Xiaoxiao had hired someone to beat up Old Lady Fang and Lin Meihua. After all, the girl was so skinny that she didn't even dare to speak loudly. But no matter how much they didn't believe it, the facts were in front of them! "The separation agreement has been written. You can all read it and sign it if there is no problem."
Shen Qingqiu stood in front of the two women who were beaten black and blue like a bandit. Old Mrs. Fang had a black eye from the beating.
At this moment, Shen Qingqiu did not use the porcelain shard to hold her back. He immediately sat on the ground and started crying, "What a sin! How could I raise such an unfilial thing? He actually used a knife to force me to separate the family. Village chief, I did not write this separation letter. I do not acknowledge it!"
The village chief glanced at the family division letter, on which was the handprint that Shen Qingqiu forced the old lady to press.
Fang Xiaoxiao had already heard Shen Qingqiu talk about the countermeasures a long time ago, and she didn't know when she let her hair down. She was weak to begin with, and now she was pretending to be pitiful, so she naturally looked more pitiful than Lin Meihua.
"I know that filial piety is the most important thing in our village. My eldest son and I didn't want to split up the family... but I can't survive if we don't split up the family," Fang Xiaoxiao said as she began to wipe her tears. "My father died early and left more than 20 taels of pension for us orphans and widows. Everyone knows this, right?"
The villagers naturally nodded.
"But now my grandma said that our eldest wife eats and drinks for free at home, so it would be better to use me to exchange for some money. I wouldn't say anything even if you sold me to someone else's maid, but this woman Lin Meihua actually wants to sell me to a eunuch as a concubine!" Fang Xiaoxiao pointed at Lin Meihua fiercely.
The villagers immediately started talking about it, "What a piece of shit! After all, it was his brother who built the house for him and married him to a daughter-in-law. How could he be so heartless..."
Seeing everyone looking at her like that, Lin Meihua immediately said, "I was telling you to live a good life. You are a dog biting Lu Dongbin, so what's wrong with being a eunuch? Who doesn't want to eat meat and wear new clothes every day?"
