At this moment, Qiaomei's maternal love, which she had been suppressing for a long time, erupted, and she started scratching him without any regard for anything else.
Although she had been bedridden for more than ten years, after working for the past few months, her strength had returned to normal, far surpassing that of Xu Qi, a young girl.
Seeing her daughter screaming in pain from being beaten, Wang Caixia quickly put down her things to help, but was stopped by the village chief's wife.
“I advise you not to go forward. If you don’t take care of this girl yourself, someone else will. It’s better to learn a lesson from this small loss than to suffer a big loss.”
Wang Caixia was furious. "Learn from small losses?" That's easy for her to say. It's not that her daughter doesn't care.
Wang Caixia tried to break through the encirclement to save Xu Qi, but no matter how hard she tried, the village chief's wife stood in her way like a wall.
Just as she was about to reach out and scratch the other person's face until it was covered in welts, Wang Dashan stood next to his mother, glaring at her menacingly. Her outstretched hand scurried back, and she broke down in tears. "Oh God! Look at these people! They're going to bully us to death! Why don't you just strike them dead with lightning!"
She shouted loudly, and these were words she would never normally say. In the past, this would usually intimidate people, but this time...
“Aunt, she promotes feudal superstition, praying to heaven and earth instead of relying on herself. This is inconsistent with the leaders’ thinking.”
Gu An'an said a few words lightly, which made Wang Caixia choke on half of her sentence and panic.
"No, I didn't!"
Wang Caixia quickly stood up, her eyes filled with venom as she looked at Gu An'an. This little bitch is really ruthless!
"No? My aunt treats us like we're deaf and stupid."
Gu An'an's lack of psychological pressure in filing the lawsuit delighted Xiao Yuheng.
The village chief's wife is very capable; she never lets Gu An'an's words fall to the ground.
"An'an, don't be angry! Just look at her daughter and you'll know she's not very bright. Why bother arguing with her?"
Despite saying that, the village chief's wife still stretched out her foot and "accidentally" kicked the other person's shin.
"Hey, what's wrong with you! Why did you kick my foot? I did tell you to promote feudal superstition, but I didn't force you to do it!"
Wang Caixia: ...... My calf kicks your foot? Do you even listen to human speech?
She wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, and even with Wang Dashan watching from the side, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"You bitch, I'll fight you to the death."
Wang Dashan tried to continue blocking his mother's way, but she pushed him aside and said, "Watch from the side."
The two immediately started fighting. Gu An'an had been observing the situation and felt pleased to see the village chief's wife dominating the other woman. She then turned to the people who had gathered around after hearing the commotion and said, "Everyone saw it. She started it. We were just fighting back."
When the village chief's wife attacked, she deliberately chose the angle, and the onlookers genuinely believed that Wang Caixia had gotten hit because she had acted recklessly, and they felt no sympathy for her.
"Do you think Wang Caixia is crazy? It was clearly her husband who did such a despicable thing, and she still has the nerve to cause trouble for others."
"That's just the kind of person she is. I used to argue with her all the time, and you all thought I had a bad temper, but you have no idea how despicable she is behind people's backs!"
"So what do we do now? Just watch them get beaten up?"
This suggestion was immediately rejected. "If you want to manage it, manage it yourself. It has nothing to do with us. Besides, they're not going to kill them."
It was just a suggestion, but most people are unwilling to take action. Those few who feel sorry for her don't want to be the first to step forward either, since the mother and daughter are just bad people.
"No, I didn't kick her, she's lying!"
"Someone please help us..."
After hearing Xu Nian recount the hardships the brother and sister had endured over the years, the village chief's wife wanted an opportunity to take action.
Now that the other party has come knocking on her door, she can't be blamed for being ruthless.
Of course, although she and Qiaomei were ruthless, they didn't target any fatal spots. Instead, they picked at the soft flesh that would hurt but wouldn't cause any serious injury, especially the two lumps in front. They really went all out, making Wang Caixia scream in pain.
Having vented her anger, the village chief's wife decisively stopped what she was doing and even pulled Qiaomei away as well.
At this moment, Xu Qi approached her mother, trembling and filled with anger.
"You wait! I will definitely not let you get away with this. I did nothing to provoke you, but you rushed over and hit me. I don't believe that no one will take care of this."
"Want to know why you were beaten?"
Xu Qi didn't nod, but she really wanted to know. Not only her, but the onlookers were also curious, since none of them looked familiar.
"These two are Xu Nian's biological parents. You know how you've treated Xu Nian and Xu Wan all these years. You've ruined other people's children and still call them bastards. The beating you just received was the least you could have gotten."
Gu An'an was telling the truth. If someone hadn't intervened, the old and new grudges would have combined to make things much worse.
"What? These are Xu Nian's biological parents?"
"You know what, you really do know, that child Xiao Nian looks quite a bit like this woman. If it weren't for the big age difference between them, people would believe they were siblings."
"Oh, that's great! Their biological parents have been found. Those two kids will have someone to rely on from now on."
Although Xu Nian was already seventeen or eighteen, he was thin and weak, and in many people's eyes he was still a teenager.
It must have been tough for an older child to raise a younger one, but now that their biological parents have come, things will definitely be better than before.
Compared to their joy, Wang Caixia and her daughter had already quietly broken up.
"Impossible! How could that little bastard possibly still have family!"
Moreover, these relatives seemed to be doing quite well. Apart from the elderly man whose face was weathered, the others, in terms of appearance and clothing, did not seem like the kind of people who were so poor they couldn't afford a penny.
Now that they've fallen to this state, barely having any money left, they certainly don't want to see the people they've always exploited turn their lives around.
"I think you still want to get slapped in the face!"
Just as Qiaomei was about to continue teaching the other party a lesson, Xu Nian and Xu Wan, who had heard the commotion, rushed over. After taking a closer look, they saw that Qiaomei had no injuries, only that her hair and clothes were messed up when she attacked, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, let's not stoop to their level."
"Yes, Aunt Wang, don't let them upset you, it's not worth it."
Seeing the pure worry in her child's eyes, Qiaomei took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Just thinking about what they've done to you over the years makes me so angry."
She was not only angry that the other party abused her child, but also angry at herself for being useless and not finding them sooner.
Xu Qing patted Qiao Mei on the back and said, "Mom, we have a better life ahead of us. Why waste our time on rotten people like them?"
Wang Caixia and her daughter, who were labeled as "bad people," really wanted to step forward and prove themselves, but they chickened out in the face of the menacing crowd.
