The more Old Mrs. Chen listened, the more she felt something was amiss. She felt as if the voice was cursing at her, and her anger flared up instantly. She cursed loudly, "You old fool, who are you insulting with such veiled barbs? You've really given yourself a hard time."
Old Man Chen's pent-up anger burned ever brighter and ever brighter, completely unstoppable. He gritted his teeth and glared at Old Woman Chen, "Shut your stinking mouth! So what if I curse you? I'm going to beat you up today!"
"You, you, you really are a redhead! You dare to touch me?"
"So what if I touch you? You're not going to eat me, are you?" Old Chen felt his blood rushing to his head and his anger burning. He raised his hand and slapped Old Chen's wife hard across the face. "You old hag, I'm going to hit you today. What are you going to do about it?"
Grandma Chen was so badly hit that she saw stars, and her cheeks instantly burned with pain.
She covered her face, looking at Old Man Chen with an incredulous expression, "You, you really dared to lay a hand on me?"
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and pounced on him like a madwoman.
The elderly couple started arguing right outside the gate...
Hearing the shouting and cursing, the villagers all rushed out to see what was going on.
"Hey~~ Look, those two old guys from the Chen family are fighting."
"They're having quite a fight. Let's go check it out."
Before long, a crowd of villagers had gathered outside Old Chen's house to watch the spectacle...
Seeing that they were getting more and more into the fight, someone couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stepped in to break them up.
"Stop it! What's wrong with you two old folks? You were scared by a mouse crawling into your bed last night, and now you're fighting over it first thing in the morning?"
"Yeah, how old are you two? Why are you still fighting?"
"Old Chen, you're going too far. Let go of her and stop pulling her hair."
"Sister-in-law, calm down and let go of your brother's ears, or he'll really tear them off."
"......"
With a combination of pulling and persuasion, the crowd finally managed to separate the elderly couple.
"What exactly happened between you two? Why did you even start fighting?!"
Hearing someone ask this, Old Mrs. Chen angrily pointed at Old Mr. Chen and said, "You don't know, this damned old man is acting strangely. He started cursing at me as soon as he opened his mouth. If I said anything to him, he even hit me. I won't tolerate his bad behavior. You all let go, I'm going to beat him to a pulp today."
After the commotion, Old Man Chen was instantly sobered up. Recalling the crazy scene just now, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind!
Seeing his wife's disheveled appearance, his legs trembled, and he pretended to be confused, "Old man, old woman, what happened to you?"
"You heartless wretch, you're even pretending to be a grandson."
Old Mrs. Chen was furious and felt incredibly suffocated. She couldn't help but burst out cursing, "You old hag, you beat me and you're acting like nothing happened. You just wait, this isn't over."
"This, this, this is all a misunderstanding, old woman, please don't be angry."
Old Chen was terrified. He involuntarily shrank his neck, raised his hand, and slapped himself hard across the face, filled with remorse.
What just happened? He was like he was possessed, daring to hit his wife.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest and caused a huge disaster. What should we do?
No, it seems we can't blame him for this.
Old Chen suddenly remembered, and stomped his feet in anger. He was so confused; he almost forgot the important matter...
Thinking of this, he stamped his foot in frustration and hurriedly reminded her, "Old woman, stop fooling around. Think carefully about what we were going to do again."
Upon hearing his words, Old Mrs. Chen suddenly came to her senses, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, I was so busy getting angry with that old man that I completely forgot about catching him cheating.
Her expression changed instantly; just moments before she was baring her teeth and refusing to back down, but in the blink of an eye, she put on a smiling face and explained to the surrounding villagers.
"Don't get me wrong, everyone. My wife and I were just joking around!"
"Yes, yes, we put on this show to make everyone happy," Old Man Chen quickly chimed in.
The villagers were completely baffled by the old couple's words and exchanged bewildered glances.
"What's wrong with these two? They were just pulling hair and tugging ears, and now they're saying it was just a joke? Are they crazy?!"
"Who knows what's wrong with those two old guys? They're yelling and cursing first thing in the morning. They must be bored out of their minds."
"Maybe those two old folks have suffered some kind of brain trauma, which is why they're acting like silly monkeys."
"No matter what, these two are not normal."
Hearing the villagers' murmurs, Old Man Chen panicked, unsure what to do. He quickly went to Old Woman Chen and whispered,
"Old woman, what's next?"
"Look at you, you coward! Where did all your skills go? Now you're asking me what to do. After this is over, I'm going to kill you!" Old Mrs. Chen muttered.
Old Chen's heart tightened. "Oh no," he thought, "that old hag holds a grudge. I'd better hurry and figure out what to say, or he'll be in big trouble."
He had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea. "Old woman, you've wronged me this time. I was just acting. I only started fighting with you to make it look real."
"Bullshit, you're trying to fool me! That slap you gave me really hard, my cheek still hurts!"
"Look at you, still angry. Anyway, we've achieved our goal." Old Chen said, gesturing with his chin towards the crowd. "Look, everyone in our village is here now. It's up to you now!"
Grandma Chen glanced around and smiled with satisfaction. "I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'll beat you to death."
"Don't worry, I'll never dare to do it again." Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling smug and relieved. He had finally vented all the pent-up frustration he had endured over the years.
Just then, Wu Baoan hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to the front, "Uncle, Aunt, what are you two doing? Why are you fighting?"
Old Mrs. Chen composed herself for a moment, then feigned sadness, "Why are you hitting me? To tell you the truth, my husband and I were just angered by someone."
"What exactly happened? Who has offended you this time?"
"It's embarrassing to say this!" Old Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed.
Wu Baoan felt that she was acting strangely and said irritably, "Auntie, can't you speak properly? What's embarrassing about you? Who embarrassed you?"
"Alright, since you've asked, I won't hide anything from you. Come with me, all of you." Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand and led everyone to the neighboring courtyard.
Wu Baoan was a little confused. "Auntie, why are you taking us to Zhan Shan's house?"
"What are you doing, catching them in the act!"
Old Mrs. Chen spoke through gritted teeth...
