The little figure on the screen changed into a Red Army uniform and saluted: "Host, you're amazing!"
Lin Cuiying didn't want to waste any more time talking to it, so she turned around and headed straight home.
The villagers who witnessed her outburst gasped in shock.
Who would have thought that Lin Cuiying, who usually seems so gentle and mild-mannered, could be so fierce!
However, after she was sent back by her husband's family, they suddenly felt it made sense.
Several villagers who were on good terms with Sister Zheng looked at Lin Cuiying with some hostility.
Lin Cuiying didn't care. She was too lazy to pay attention to these people and went straight home.
When I got home, I noticed that something was wrong with Chen.
"Mother, what happened to your face?"
Chen lowered her head in a flustered manner: "No, it's nothing, I just fell by accident."
Lin Cuiying didn't believe it. She grasped Chen's hand and looked earnestly into her eyes: "Mother, tell me the truth, who hit me?"
Chen's eyes darted around, and she stammered, "It's really nothing, I just accidentally fell."
Lin Cuiying's heart sank. She knew her mother wouldn't lie, but she wasn't stupid either; it was obvious she had been beaten.
"Mother, if you don't tell me, I'll go to the village and ask around to see who dares to bully our family!"
Upon hearing this, Chen was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Lin Cuiying's hand: "No, don't go! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
It turned out that Chen had gone to the river to wash clothes that day and encountered several gossipy women from the village.
Seeing that Chen was alone, they started making sarcastic remarks, saying that Lin Cuiying had been driven back by her husband's family, bringing shame to Luhua Village.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ms. Chen argued with them for a few moments.
Unexpectedly, the women started fighting, pushing Chen to the ground and punching her in the face.
Lin Cuiying was so angry that she trembled all over after hearing this.
She held Chen's hand tightly: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Madam Chen, however, was somewhat worried: "Yingzi, let's forget it. Given our family's current situation, it's better to avoid trouble."
"No way!" Lin Cuiying said firmly. "If we just swallow our anger when others bully us, they'll only think we're easy to bully! This matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"
The system donned Iron Man armor again, waving its little fist: "Yes! Host is right! We can't be pushovers!"
Lin Cuiying looked at the system's expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, she also knew in her heart that the system was right.
In this dog-eat-dog world, if you don't stand up for yourself, you'll only be bullied even more.
Lin Cuiying took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Mother, where are Father and the others?"
Chen said, "Your father took your younger brother to the mountains to collect firewood."
Lin Cuiying frowned slightly: "Didn't we tell them to rest at home? Why did they go out again?"
"Is your father the kind of person who can stay still?"
No sooner had Chen finished speaking than Lin Changgeng returned with Lin Tiandong, Da Ya, and Xiao Ya.
The men were all carrying a lot of firewood.
"Father, you're back." Lin Cuiying went to greet them and took the firewood from their hands. "Your legs are injured, why are you so disobedient?"
Lin Changgeng gave an awkward smile, "We were just doing some light exercise, it's nothing serious."
Lin Tiandong smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, we're really fine."
Daya and Xiaoya also gathered around, saying happily, "Mother, we collected so much firewood today!"
At this moment, Lin Tiandong also noticed the injury on Chen's face: "Mother, what happened to your face?"
Ms. Chen kept her head down and did not speak.
Lin Cuiying said directly, "Today, when I went to the river to wash clothes, I encountered some gossipy women. They were talking about me, and I couldn't stand it, so I argued with them. I never expected that they would actually attack me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tiandong was instantly enraged: "What? They dared to hit you? Sis, who are those gossipy women? I'm going to teach them a lesson!"
Lin Cuiying's eyes turned cold: "Mother, tell me, who exactly are those gossipy women?"
Mr. Chen stammered, clearly unwilling to speak.
Lin Cuiying recalled the two people she had met at the foot of the mountain on her way back. "Were they Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zheng?"
Chen glanced at Lin Cuiying with some surprise, then quickly lowered her head.
Seeing Chen's reaction, Lin Cuiying knew she had guessed correctly.
"Sis, I'm going to settle accounts with them!" Lin Tiandong was also furious, clenching his fists as he prepared to rush out.
"stop!"
Lin Changgeng gave a low shout and called out to Lin Tiandong.
He looked at Lin Tiandong with a stern face: "You come back here right now!"
Lin Tiandong stopped and said somewhat unwillingly, "Dad, are we just going to let this go?"
Lin Changgeng glared at him: "Who said we should just let it go like this? But will rushing over like this solve the problem?"
Lin Tiandong was speechless.
Lin Changgeng looked at Lin Cuiying: "Yingzi, what do you think we should do about this?"
Lin Cuiying took a deep breath: "Father, Mother, don't be anxious. We need to discuss this matter carefully."
"Let's discuss this further?" Lin Tiandong didn't understand. "Sis, how else can we discuss it?"
"Today, when I came down from the mountain, I already had a fight with Aunt Zheng. If we cause any more trouble, we'll be in the wrong."
Then, Lin Cuiying briefly recounted what had happened.
This made Lin Tiandong even angrier. "This is outrageous!"
Lin Cuiying pondered for a moment: "Father, Mother, I have an idea. Let's let the two of them fight it out!"
"You started this on your own?" The crowd looked at Lin Cuiying with some confusion.
Lin Cuiying explained, "Aunt Zheng and Aunt Zhao have always been fond of gossiping in the village, and they both love to take advantage of others. We can take advantage of that."
"How do we utilize it?" Lin Changgeng asked.
Lin Cuiying leaned closer to them and whispered a few words.
After hearing Lin Cuiying's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Great idea!" Lin Tiandong couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer. "This way, we can not only deal with those two gossipy women, but also make them fight each other."
Mrs. Chen was still somewhat worried: "Will this work?"
Lin Cuiying patted her hand: "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
In the following days, Lin Cuiying began to take action.
She first secretly inquired about the recent activities of Aunt Zheng and Aunt Zhao.
Soon, Lin Cuiying's plan was put into practice.
Aunt Zheng's family recently raised a few chickens, and she goes to the mountains every day to dig up insects to feed them.
That day, she went to the mountains to dig for insects as usual, but when she came back, one of the chickens in the coop was missing!
Aunt Zheng was furious and searched everywhere in the village, but she could not find the chicken anywhere.
