"Where are you running off to, you wretched woman, with my son?"
A stench that hit her head interrupted Xia Wenhua's question. The bearded man roared at Xia Wenhua and immediately tried to snatch the child from her arms.
Xia Wenhua stepped aside, frowning as she looked at the bearded man, while cautiously glancing around out of the corner of her eye.
She'd heard from the older generation that things were chaotic before the crackdown, but she never imagined it would be this chaotic. Pei Songbai had only been gone for ten minutes, and these people were openly trying to snatch children on the street?
Seeing that the bearded man's first attack had failed and he was about to try to snatch the item again, and noticing that there were two other people around who looked suspicious and were clearly related to the bearded man, Xia Wenhua took a deep breath, turned around, pulled out a stick from a pile of luggage, hid the two children behind the luggage, and used the stick to block in front of the children.
"My man is in the military, he's nearby and will be back soon. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise he will definitely not let you off the hook when he gets back!"
Xia Wenhua distracted the others by talking, and kept taking steps backward to make sure no one could pass by her and touch the child.
The bearded man and his men had been waiting here and had seen Pei Songbai leave, so Xia Wenhua's words had no effect on him whatsoever.
Instead, after Xia Wenhua finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he coldly shouted, "I bet you little wench just want to run off with my child and that pretty boy. I'll beat you to death, you stinking old woman!"
Almost the instant the bearded man charged forward, his two companions explained to the people around them that Xia Wenhua was the bearded man's wife and had been caught by him while trying to run away.
Even though Xia Wenhua knew that explaining was useless, she didn't sit idly by and let these people smear her. Instead, she fought with the bearded man while shouting to the people around her.
"I don't know them. They're just trying to take my child. Don't believe them!"
She could never out-argue three people. The bearded man and the other three had enough of an advantage to deter those who didn't know the situation from stepping forward, and they were even less restrained in attacking Xia Wenhua.
While the enthusiastic onlookers were still trying to figure out who was telling the truth, the bearded man had already reached Xia Wenhua.
A cold glint flashed in Xia Wenhua's eyes, and without hesitation, she raised the stick and smashed it into the bearded man's face amidst his sinister grin.
The bearded man didn't take Xia Wenhua, a mere slut, seriously at all. He casually stretched out his arm to stop her, but the next moment a shrill scream rang out from the open space in front of the station.
"ah!"
The bearded man's arm snapped, but Xia Wenhua showed no mercy and went straight up to him, giving him a good beating.
The bearded man's two companions were completely taken aback, never expecting that he was no match for Xia Wenhua. They were stunned and their voices immediately fell silent.
Xia Wenhua didn't let the two off the hook, raising an eyebrow at them provocatively: "Your partners have already fallen, why aren't you going up?"
Her goal was very clear, which immediately drew everyone's attention to the remaining two accomplices.
"Are they in cahoots?"
"It seems so. Just now, these two people kept saying that the bearded man was a good person."
"Oh no, could these people really be human traffickers?"
"..."
This kind of scam was rare before, and the media was not developed in this era, so people had never encountered similar scenes.
Now that Xia Wenhua had exposed them, the clever ones, connecting it to what had just happened, immediately sensed something was wrong and looked at the three of them with hostility.
After being thoroughly beaten by Xia Wenhua, the bearded man was no longer able to resist. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two immediately turned to run away.
Xia Wenhua had been watching the two of them for a while, and she wasn't going to give them a chance to escape.
"These two are human traffickers! Please help stop them!"
She shouted, and the onlookers who hadn't believed her before were now certain. They rushed forward indignantly and stopped her.
Xia Wenhua wielded a stick with great force, and many people didn't even see how she exerted her strength before the two people on the ground screamed in pain.
Human traffickers deserve to be punished by everyone. The fact that the two escaped made everyone realize that their identities were not right, and the anger of being deceived erupted instantly.
In the blink of an eye, a circle of people formed around the three human traffickers, and they started fighting them.
Pei Songbai had just returned from buying food when he heard that there were human traffickers near the station. His expression immediately changed, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd. He was almost shocked by what he saw.
In the very center of the crowd, his pampered wife, who came from a capitalist family, held a stick and aimed it at the human trafficker.
Everyone was beating up the human trafficker, but Xia Wenhua's actions weren't abrupt. With Pei Songbai's sharp eyes, he could tell that Xia Wenhua had definitely broken the man's leg with one blow.
Pei Songbai's pupils darkened, and he strode forward: "What happened?"
His voice snapped Xia Wenhua out of her daze. She gripped the stick tightly and glared fiercely at the three people lying on the ground: "Songbai, they tried to snatch the child!"
With Pei Songbai back, the child was taken care of. Xia Wenhua handed the child over to Pei Songbai with peace of mind. Without giving Pei Songbai a chance to speak, she threw down the stick and rushed back into the crowd to start a new round of beatings.
She was rescued from human traffickers when she was a child, but was later sent to an orphanage because no one wanted her.
Xia Wenhua hated human traffickers more than anything in her life, without exception. How dare some people provoke her and snatch a child from her hands! If she didn't teach these people a lesson they would never forget, she wouldn't have bothered coming into this world!
Using the crowd as cover, Xia Wenhua swiftly and decisively broke one of the legs of each of the three men, using a clever technique to ensure that their legs would never heal for the rest of their lives, before finally retreating from the crowd.
The legal system is imperfect, but everyone has the right to punish human traffickers. If these three people have actually committed crimes and abducted children before, they're definitely going to be punished.
Even if they hadn't succeeded before, this time they dared to abduct children and would be locked up for life. Xia Wenhua's henchmen had no mental qualms about it.
After she finished hitting the person, she calmly walked out of the crowd.
Meeting Pei Songbai's meaningful gaze, she met his eyes without any guilt.
At first, she gave Pei Songbai a chance. Pei Songbai said that his biggest wish was to live a good life. She agreed to stay and live a good life with Pei Songbai, but that doesn't mean that she has to live a miserable life.
Xia Wenhua's personality has never changed. Even in a different era, she will still seek revenge and settle scores. She cannot let grudges linger overnight.
When Pei Songbai mentioned how she had scared those two people so much, Xia Wenhua smiled gently and said, "Everyone knows I come from a capitalist family. Do you really think I'm a naive and innocent person? Rich people all know a few ways to protect themselves. It's just a broken leg, no big deal!"
