Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she remembered the door that had always been tightly closed.
Sure enough, the next second a hurried, hoarse voice came from outside the door, "Su Ruanruan, open the door, hurry, open the door."
Su Ruanruan leaned against the wall, listening to the increasingly urgent knocking outside the door, before leisurely going over and opening the back door.
Su Fangfang quickly squeezed in through the half-open door.
Su Ruanruan closed the door and then carefully examined her. She saw that her clothes were disheveled, her collar was half open, and even her hair was loose.
By the light of the two oil lamps, Su Ruanruan could see the red marks on her body when she got closer.
And the stench of blood and the alluring smell left by Butcher Zhou from years of slaughtering pigs.
Su Ruanruan took a few steps back and asked curiously, "Cousin, what's going on?"
Su Fangfang didn't want Su Ruanruan to see her like this, but just now in the woodshed of Zhou's butcher's house, when they were in the midst of their passion, they heard the commotion outside.
She didn't know what had happened, only that if she didn't come back soon, it would be troublesome if her family found out she wasn't there.
She suddenly wanted to leave, but Zhou the butcher, who was in the middle of a good time, wouldn't let her go and kept bothering her for a long time.
After leaving Butcher Zhou's house, she hid behind a tree and discovered that a large crowd had gathered in the yard next door.
Who else could it be but their own mother and grandmother, leading the clamor and trying to mediate?
If these people see that she came back from outside, it will be troublesome. Brother Zhou said that they cannot make their relationship public yet.
She couldn't get in through the main entrance, but remembering that Su Ruanruan had opened a back door for her to have fun with men, she immediately went around to the back entrance, which is how Su Ruanruan saw her in this state.
Seeing that Su Fangfang remained silent, Su Ruanruan sighed and gently bit her lip, "Cousin, do you have someone you like? I wonder who it is?"
"Oh, I haven't seen Brother Zhou for several days. A few days ago he came to tell me that he was busy with his shop and didn't have time to come back to see me. I've been staying at home to recuperate lately, and I don't know how he's doing."
"I haven't seen him in so long, I really miss him. I wonder when he'll come to propose..."
Su Fangfang tidied herself up and couldn't help but look up at Su Ruanruan after hearing her words.
He scoffed inwardly, "Who said Brother Zhou didn't come back? She just doesn't want you anymore."
Proposing marriage? Dream on! Brother Zhou was so enthusiastic just now, and he even promised to marry her.
Su Fangfang's face instantly turned cold as she looked at Su Ruanruan, who had a sorrowful expression. "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, or I'll skin you alive."
Before Su Ruanruan could answer, she hurriedly left the house, went back to change her clothes, yawned, and pretended to have just woken up before leaving the courtyard.
A crowd of onlookers had gathered around the gate of the neighboring courtyard, but there was still no movement inside.
Listening to Zheng's cursing, everyone figured out what was going on.
It turned out that this widow Wen had been having an affair with Su in the house late at night, but was caught red-handed by Zheng.
When Granny Wang saw everyone watching the spectacle unfold at her house, her face suddenly turned cold.
"Get out, all of you go back to sleep! What are you looking at? What's there to see!"
The villagers who had come to watch the commotion were not happy. "We haven't stepped onto your land, why should you drive us away?"
"That's right, we were enjoying a cozy time with our family and kids, and we were woken up by your family."
Granny Wang was furious, her face turning ashen. These people wouldn't leave; they clearly wanted to see her life in chaos and wanted her house in complete disarray.
A group of people had ill intentions.
She glared at Zheng Shi, who was staring intently at the door with a rolling pin in her hand, and her anger flared up. "You damned bastard, why are you yelling like that in the middle of the night? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
As he spoke, he punched Zheng's obese back several times.
Zheng was already short-tempered, and then her mother-in-law actually hit her in front of so many outsiders.
But because of their seniority, she couldn't just grab a rolling pin and beat her up. All she could do was glare at her and point tremblingly at the courtyard gate, "Mother, your son is having an affair with a widow inside. Are you going to do anything about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Pozi slapped him hard across the face again. "You stinking woman, get the hell out of here! If you keep yelling, I'll have Zheng'er divorce you!"
"Grandma, how could you let Dad divorce Mom?"
If her mother is divorced, it will definitely affect her marriage prospects. Brother Zhou said that once he's done with his work, he'll send a matchmaker to propose marriage.
"You little brat, get lost! It's none of your business how your grandma behaves."
As Wang Pozi spoke, she pushed Su Fangfang. Su Fangfang's body was already sore and weak from Zhou Tufu's antics, and she had no strength in her legs. With this push, she fell to the ground.
When Zheng saw Su Fangfang being pushed down, she could no longer suppress her anger. She pulled away the people trying to break up the fight and started wrestling with Granny Wang.
The commotion outside grew louder and louder, and Su Zheng inside could no longer sit still.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he slipped on his shoes and came out.
A collective sigh rippled through the crowd.
Everyone thought he would stay indoors and never come out.
Unexpectedly, he still came out after so long, completely confirming his reputation for meeting with Widow Wen at night.
Su Zheng didn't care what others were saying; he only saw Zheng Shi, who was as strong as an ox, pressing his old mother to the ground.
She's exactly like a shrew, not at all like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
In contrast, Widow Wen was gentle and tender, clinging to him like a little woman.
“My son, this woman actually hit me, she must not be let off lightly.”
Su Zheng gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Zheng, you have bullied your mother-in-law and disobeyed filial piety. Today I will divorce you!"
Zheng loosened her fist, raised her head, and looked at the man standing in front of her. Anger flashed in her eyes, and she flipped herself up with a somersault. "Su Zheng, you said you wanted to divorce me? I bore you children, and now that you've grown up, you look down on me? What does that Wen woman have besides her good skills in bed? You actually divorced me for that prostitute? You bastard, do you want to die? I'll beat you to death today."
As he spoke, he rushed forward, ready to fight Su Zheng to the death.
When Granny Wang saw her son being beaten, she no longer cared about crying on the ground.
He rushed up and fought Zheng Shi to the death, leaving Su Fangfang standing by, unsure of who to help.
The onlookers all stepped back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
On the contrary, there were hardly any people trying to mediate the fight.
Su Fangfang's heart sank to the bottom. Finally, her gaze fell on the family who had been made a fool of, and her face became increasingly pale and ugly.
She stormed back to her room, deciding to leave it at that.
The night was filled with chaos, escalating from an initial affair into a feud between the Su and Zheng families, even bringing up old, trivial matters.
Even Su Zheng was hit by Zheng's rolling pin several times.
The widow Wen was not spared either; although Su Zheng protected her, she still got two scratches on her face.
As dawn broke, a few birdsongs echoed through the woods. The group, in a grand procession, said they were going to the county town to ask the magistrate to settle their case.
