Everyone was shocked by the hysterical roar. Oh no, they were about to start arguing, and they thought they might even start fighting!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
A large group of people rushed towards Chen Ahua's house, hoping to get there quickly and stop them!
Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Old Mrs. Chen wasn't very friendly to her third son's family. It was said that she was against her third son marrying Tao Shi, but her third son liked her very much and insisted on marrying her. Before the marriage even started, Tao Shi had already disliked Old Mrs. Chen. After entering the family, she was even more critical and found fault with everything! Especially since Tao Shi couldn't give birth to a son, she was even more of a nuisance!
Perhaps it's true that you don't need a reason to dislike someone. Anyway, Old Mrs. Chen just didn't like Tao Shi, and with her two daughters-in-law stirring up trouble, she was even less friendly to Tao Shi!
How much do you hate it?
The people in the neighborhood know very well because they live nearby and can hear Old Mrs. Chen's loud voice every day. They don't want to listen, but they can't help it; they can't shut their ears and are forced to listen to it several times a day!
What are you yelling about? It's just yelling at the third branch of the family to do their work, ordering them around, and if they don't do things to your liking, you'll get a scolding. If you're in a good mood, you might only yell a few times and then move on, but if you're in a bad mood, you can yell for half a day!
That's mild; if Old Mrs. Chen gets angry, she'll hit people!
But they specifically targeted Chen Ahua and her daughter, always blaming them for everything they did wrong, even if it was someone else's fault!
That's just so irrational!
Some villagers couldn't stand it anymore and came to mediate, but they were met with a barrage of insults from Old Mrs. Chen. She scolded them for meddling, saying it was her family matter and no one else had the right to interfere. She claimed she was teaching her children and grandchildren how to behave and hadn't done anything wrong! The villagers were so angry that they left immediately, and after that, no one came to intervene.
The village chief did go, and if things went too far, the village chief had the right to criticize and educate them. But clearly, Old Mrs. Chen knew that the village chief couldn't be offended, so she outwardly agreed that she would correct her mistakes, but once the village chief turned and left, everything went back to normal!
Most of the villagers knew about Old Mrs. Chen's character, but they couldn't reason with a rascal, so they ignored her.
But this time it's different. Chen Ahua absolutely refuses to marry, and has even attempted suicide. This is no small matter, and we can no longer sit idly by!
No matter what, it's a human life at stake; this is no longer just a simple family matter for Old Mrs. Chen!
Unfortunately, before the villagers could even get close, Old Mrs. Chen grabbed a wooden stick and started hitting Chen Ahua with all her might, cursing, "Whoever I tell you to marry, you have to marry! You brat, you dare to resist? I think you're just too full of yourself! Your useless mother taught you to be an unfilial daughter, may she be struck by lightning! It's not your place to make decisions, you better get ready, anyway, you're getting married! Ouch! You dare to run away, you brat! Stop right there!"
Chen Ahua's eyes were filled with resentment. She was exhausted from the ordeal, but for the sake of the future, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up, dodging Old Lady Chen's stick. "I'm not stupid! You can hit me and I won't run away! Don't talk to me about filial piety. What do you have that makes me want to be filial to you? Nothing! You wish I were dead. You knowingly pushed me into a pit of fire. You're such a good grandmother! I'll definitely take good care of you after I die! Bah! They're both your granddaughters. If it's a good thing, why don't you let those two cousins marry them off? You just can't stand me, you think I'm in your way! Fine! I'm leaving. I'm leaving the Chen family!"
Old Mrs. Chen was getting on in years, and she was panting heavily after running only a short distance. She hadn't expected Chen Ahua to dodge. In the past, when she wanted to hit someone, Chen Ahua couldn't dodge and could only stand there and let her hit her! She only needed to stand by and occasionally give her a few slaps to vent her anger!
Hearing Chen Ahua's words, Chen's wife became even more furious. "That brat thinks she can fly to the moon!"
Not only did they dare to dodge, but they also dared to talk back to her—they've gone too far!
So, Old Mrs. Chen called her daughter-in-law, who was watching the show nearby, over, determined to grab Chen Ahua and give her a good beating to vent her anger!
The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was also an obedient person. She immediately scattered and surrounded Chen Ahua to grab her. Chen Ahua was no match for these people. They outnumbered her and she was quickly captured.
"Go ahead and run!" Old Mrs. Chen said through gritted teeth, looking as if she wanted to devour Chen Ahua.
Chen Ahua wasn't afraid of being arrested. She felt that this wasn't the worst thing. At worst, she would just get beaten up. It wasn't like she hadn't been beaten before. She could grit her teeth and get through it. If she couldn't get through it, she could just be reincarnated!
Hmph! It's no big deal!
Old Mrs. Chen couldn't stand Chen Ahua's unruly demeanor. She immediately felt that she had been provoked and that her authority had been seriously challenged. She felt it was necessary to take appropriate measures to protect her interests!
As expected, the stick struck Chen Ahua hard. Chen Ahua gritted her teeth, didn't utter a sound, and even gave Old Woman Chen a cold look!
have to!
There's bound to be another few more blows!
"Stop!" a loud shout rang out!
Old Mrs. Chen was startled and almost hit her eldest daughter-in-law with her stick!
She turned around wanting to curse, but when she saw a large group of people, her momentum instantly weakened. Even the people holding Chen Ahua couldn't help but let go, as if distancing themselves from the situation, and retreated to the back, acting as if it was none of their business.
There was nothing they could do. A huge crowd of people had come, probably everyone in the village who could come. They were all menacing, their faces full of resentment, looking like they wanted to eat people alive. The villagers were terrified!
They are in the wrong to begin with, they only bully their own kind, but they cower when faced with a strong opponent. They are very guilty and dare not say a word!
Old Mrs. Chen, having lived off the family for several years, confidently declared that this was their family matter and that outsiders shouldn't interfere. She said they could watch, but not to speak, lest it interfere with her education of her granddaughter!
The village chief was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened in fury. This old woman was becoming increasingly arrogant, and she didn't even respect him, the village chief!
"Utterly foolish! Your granddaughter doesn't want to marry, you can't force her, yet you're pushing her to the brink! You're trying to kill her! Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're old you can't be dealt with. Don't be so naive! I'll go to the county government and file a complaint, and your entire Chen family will be living the high life in jail! You think this is just a family matter? No! This is going to result in someone's death! Old woman Chen, do you believe that the police will be coming for you soon? And you're still jumping around like this, oblivious to your own mortality!"
The village chief was furious and reprimanded Old Lady Chen severely. In any case, no one knew whether what he said was true or false, so he was right!
A white lie is necessary as long as it has a deterrent effect!
Old Mrs. Chen also thought the village chief was talking nonsense and didn't believe him, but when she turned her head and saw the two people walking over, her legs suddenly went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
"Chen Ahua, is there anything we can help you with?"
