Caught off guard, Xu Ruantang stumbled as she was pushed.
She was new to the area and didn't want to bother anyone, especially not this kind of Chen Ji fangirl who looked like a reincarnation of a pure and innocent girl.
Getting involved with this kind of person will only bring you a lot of trouble.
She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she knew perfectly well why she married Chen Ji, so she didn't intend to overstep her bounds.
But she doesn't provoke others; if others provoke her first, then don't blame her for fighting back!
You've messed with me, kid. You've really bitten off more than you can chew.
Before falling, Xu Ruantang held Xiaobao tightly in her arms, and soon her hand felt a burning pain.
In front of Chen Ji’s house, there is a narrow stone-paved road, which looks newly built.
Unfortunately, her palm brushed against the gravel-paved road, and it hurt terribly.
Before Xu Ruantang could even look, Xiaobao started wailing, probably because he was frightened.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Bao, don't be afraid, don't cry."
Xu Ruantang comforted Xiaobao immediately, then turned to look at the culprit.
"You dare push me?" Xu Ruantang scrambled to her feet, carrying Xiaobao, and strode over to Yao Yulan like the wind. "I'm going to beat you so badly today that you'll be stuck to the wall and I won't be able to pry you off!"
Not seeking trouble, but not fearing trouble either, is Xu Ruantang's life motto.
She freed one hand, grabbed Yao Yulan by the collar, and lifted her up.
Yao Yulan was instantly thrown off the ground, her eyes wide with terror, before she could utter a sound and was flung against the wall.
Before she could recover from the shock, a sharp pain shot through her buttocks, making Yao Yulan cry out, "Ouch, my goodness! My butt! Help! Someone's hitting me! Brother Chen's new wife is hitting me!"
Yao Yulan's yellow dress was covered in mud, and she sat by the wall, covered in dirt, wailing and howling as she clutched her sore bottom.
Outside Chen Ji’s house are vast fields. It’s midday, and the villagers who were working in the fields are gradually returning home with their hoes.
Soon, many villagers gathered in this area.
Some people openly watched the spectacle, while others pretended to be passing by unintentionally.
In those days, there were no cell phones, and most families in the village couldn't afford televisions. There was no colorful and diverse entertainment life, so people preferred to watch the excitement.
Moreover, the household contract responsibility system had long been in place, so no one was urging people to start or finish work.
Xu Ruantang held Xiaobao and tried to soothe him for a long time before finally calming him down. Xiaobao stopped crying, but his little head was still twitching.
The little nose twitched every now and then, making Xu Ruantang feel both sorry for the baby and utterly charmed. If it weren't for the big problem she still had to solve, she would have loved to hold the little one and give him a good sniff.
When she turned to look at Yao Yulan, her smile vanished. "Don't call me that. I can't accept that title. We're not that senior."
Yao Yulan realized that Xu Ruantang was taking advantage of her, and said something about her earlier comment, "My goodness."
I was so angry I almost twisted my tongue.
"Waaah, everyone be the judge! I just came to deliver something to Brother Chen on behalf of my dad. I didn't stay long; I was about to leave after putting the things down when my sister got angry."
Yao Yulan got up from the ground, her eyes red and tears hanging below her eyes, looking pitiful. She stood in the corner with a wronged expression, looking timidly at Xu Ruantang.
"Sister, Brother Chen and I really have nothing going on. If you're unhappy, you can scold me or hit me a few times, as long as you can calm down. Just please don't be angry with Brother Chen, his injuries haven't healed yet."
Yao Yulan wiped away her tears, glancing at the Chen family's courtyard out of the corner of her eye.
She figured Chen Ji would come out soon, or if he didn't, he'd definitely be listening.
As long as she uses the same tactics she usually employs at home to deal with her eldest sister, I don't believe Chen Ji won't be moved.
She had her parents completely under her thumb, and men were also very susceptible to her charms.
When Chen Ji sees this woman's furious and shrewish behavior, he might get angry and kick her out!
After Yao Yulan finished speaking, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
Xu Ruantang was amazed by her masterful acting skills; if she hadn't been holding Xiaobao, she would have applauded her.
Before she could speak, some of the villagers who were watching the commotion started talking.
"Is this the wife Chen Ji married for three thousand yuan?"
"It should be, Yao Yulan just said it."
"Tsk tsk, she even beat up the Party Secretary's daughter, what a shrew. She just arrived, and she doesn't even bother to put on an act."
"Who can argue with that? Why is Chen Ji's life so miserable?"
"That's not quite right. She was holding a child in her arms, so it seems like she's doing a decent job as a stepmother."
The crowd was talking loudly, one after another. It wasn't just whispering; they were talking to Xu Ruantang.
"What's going on?" The man's deep voice interrupted the crowd's discussion.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Chen Ji stood by the door, tall and upright.
Despite his leg injury, he stood ramrod straight, his deep, dark eyes gazing over with an air of authority and pressure.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Seeing that the time was right, Yao Yulan took a few steps past Xu Ruantang and walked to Chen Ji's side.
Her eyes were red, and her voice suddenly became strained: "Waaah, Brother Chen, I really didn't make my sister angry. I just came to deliver something, and she pushed me away."
"Sister, you didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
Yao Yulan wanted to show Chen Ji his wounds, only to find that she had no injuries at all, except for pain in her buttocks.
A middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd. "Chen Ji, look at the kind of woman you married! She's only just arrived in our village and she already dares to hit people."
The man spoke angrily, then gave Yao Yulan a fawning look after he finished speaking.
