Chapter 37 The Cao family returned home in a pathetic state.
As everyone started laughing loudly, Mao Chun couldn't hold back his sobs and began to cry, cursing his sons and daughters-in-law as useless.
They came in arrogantly, but left in a cowardly manner.
As Cao Tian was leaving, he turned back and stared at Wang Yuqing with a gloomy expression, gritting his teeth in hatred.
The production team leader and the women's team leader arrived late, after everyone had left. By then, people had already scolded and beaten them. What good would it do for them to come now?
The Cao family suffered a setback today, but the Ji family rose to prominence. Some of them had witnessed Wang Yuqing's ruthlessness before, but they didn't expect her to be even more ruthless. She could both curse and fight, and was even given the nickname "Iron Woman".
She gained recognition by insulting He Ruhua, she gained fame by insulting Yuan Fang, and today she has brought down the entire Cao family, making her an overnight sensation.
Every household talked about her at night while lying in bed, eager to tell their relatives and other brigades.
When Lin Meili got home, she couldn't understand how Wang Yuqing, who used to be such a coward, had become so powerful. No, she had to find some time to go to Lin Xuemei's house and tell them about it.
Before leaving, Chen E gave Wang Yuqing a thumbs up: "Well done, Comrade Wang Yuqing."
Wang Yuqing thanked her: "Aunt Chen, thank you so much."
Aunt Chen smiled sheepishly, "Don't mention it, I didn't do anything." But she had decided to follow Wang Yuqing from now on.
On the way home, feeling proud that she was the only one who helped Wang Yuqing and had a part in taking down the Cao family, she walked with her head held high.
Wang Yuqing was exhausted. Her body was too thin, and she couldn't handle moving her arms and legs. Besides Ji Xiaoming and Ji Xiaomei praising her with admiration, there was also Grandma Ji's worried words: "Yuqing, after what happened today, the Cao family will definitely see you as a thorn in their side from now on."
Wang Yuqing smiled and said, "Which is better, being bullied or being a thorn in someone's side? Besides, it's not that they see me as a thorn in their side, it's that I see them as a thorn in my side!"
Grandma Ji: "..."
She sighed again: "You did this to stand up for us, but your reputation will be ruined from now on, and soon everyone in the surrounding villages will know."
Wang Yuqing rubbed his shoulders: "What's the use of a good reputation? Grandma, if I may say something unpleasant, you still get bullied even with a good reputation. Look at the Cao family, they have a bad reputation, but they still eat, drink, and work just like you, and people even try to curry favor with them. They've never been mistreated or bullied, but today they met me."
"A good or bad reputation is not important; what matters is a person's strength or weakness."
"And another thing is, let it spread, the farther the better. That way, everyone will know that I, Wang Yuqing, am not someone to be trifled with, and that the Ji family is not someone they dare to mess with."
Although what she said was a bit off-track, Grandma Ji found it reasonable. In fact, being tough and assertive does have many advantages.
She stopped thinking about it and smiled, "Yuqing, you are simply a treasure to our Ji family."
Recalling the scene just now, she straightened her back a bit and couldn't stop smiling. This granddaughter-in-law is really good; she can talk, she can fight, and she's hardworking.
Wang Yuqing was just about to go to sleep when someone suddenly rushed in and almost tripped and fell on top of her. She looked up and saw that it was Ji Xuening.
Ji Xuening was panting heavily, her eyes tense. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Yuqing, Grandma Ji, Ji Xiaoming, and Ji Meimei sitting safely in their chairs, their faces full of smiles.
"Hmph, if you come back any later, it'll be dawn already."
Grandma Ji sat in the chair, her hands folded on her cane, pouting, too lazy to even glance at Ji Xuening.
Ji Xuening: "..."
Wang Yuqing said with a laugh, "Grandma, it's okay. If he had come back earlier, I wouldn't have had the chance to become famous."
Ji Xuening: "..."
He asked, "Are you alright? Are you hurt? I heard from Da Ming that they attacked you?"
Wang Yuqing twisted her neck: "They did start fighting, three against one of them."
Ji Xuening's face darkened, his eyes seemed to burn with fire. He turned and left, leaving behind the words, "I'm going to settle accounts with them right now."
Cao Hao usually bullies Ji Daming and Ji Xiaoming, but since it's the children's business, he can't interfere. Besides, Grandma Ji always says, "We're all on the same team, so let's not hurt our harmony. Besides, the Cao family has a lot of members, so let's just put up with it and not provoke them."
But this time it's different!
"I beat them all to a pulp."
Wang Yuqing added another sentence.
Ji Xuening had just lifted her foot off the threshold when she pulled it back, her body frozen in place.
Wang Yuqing said, "What's wrong? Let's go..."
Ji Xuening's lips twitched. He turned to look at Wang Yuqing and coughed a few times: "Really beat them down?"
Before Wang Yuqing could speak, Ji Xiaoming and Ji Meimei started chattering about what had just happened, with Ji Xiaoming even mimicking the scene quite well.
Ji Xuening's expression changed in various ways, finally settling on shock.
Ji Daming didn't get back for a while, holding a shoe heel in his hand. Seeing that everyone in the family was alright, he wiped his sweat and said, "Dad... your shoe heel broke off."
The whole family burst into laughter.
Wang Yuqing had just lain down in her room when she heard Ji Xuening knock on the door. He then came in carrying a basin of warm water and said, "Soak your feet."
After saying that, he quickly walked out the door. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Thank you, but I won't let them bully you in the future."
Wang Yuqing chuckled. This guy had the air of a domineering CEO, a rural domineering CEO, no less.
She said, "Comrade Ji Xuening, I'm the one who bullies them, not the other way around. From now on, you stand behind me. If I'm hungry after a fight, you cook for me."
Ji Xuening: "..."
What does that mean? He didn't quite understand.
Wang Yuqing was too tired and sleepy to talk to him much, while Ji Xuening went to the door and continued working on his wooden stakes.
Almost everyone in the household had fallen asleep, but a few couples were still lying in bed, chatting animatedly about the day's events.
Early the next morning, with a few chimes, the commune members took their tools and started working. It was no surprise that today's topic was still Wang Yuqing, only now the Cao family was mentioned as well.
Wang Yuqing was awakened by the sound of a bell. The bell was very loud. She knew that in each production team, there was an iron bell hanging on a slanted branch, which the production team leader would ring every morning to signal the start of the work.
After getting up and having breakfast, she changed the water for the snails, and then chatted with the piglets for a while next to the pigpen.
Grandma Ji felt like she was dreaming when she thought about last night.
Wang Yuqing moved a stool and sat down next to Grandma Ji, asking, "Grandma, can you tell me about the personality traits of the people in our production team?"
She explained, "It's about how you are normally, or what happens at home, good things, bad things, ugly things..."
Although Grandma Ji didn't understand why she asked this, she was happy to tell her.
