“Where’s that b*tch from the Pang family? Is she back? That little hussy beat up my sister. I’ll teach her a lesson today!”

With a bang, the door to the Li family’s residence was kicked open. Madam Zhang’s older sister, Zhang Guihua, rushed out with a stove poker in her hand.

“Longyue, her sister…”

‘Ah Qiu looked at the woman who had rushed out. His face was pale as he nervously grabbed Longyue.

“What are you afraid of?”

Longyue walked forward and looked at her coldly. “What do you want?”

Zhang Guihua’s forward momentum was stopped. She paused for a moment, then sized up Longyue. Seeing that she was a petite woman who looked easy to bully, she became even bolder. She asked with a dark expression, “You’re from the Pangs, the one who hit my sister?”

“Right, it’s me!”

“Ha, sure! I’ll beat you to death!”

Zhang Guihua laughed evilly, then waved the poker in her hand at Longyue. However, before the poker could land, she felt her body become a little unstable and fell forward.

“Ouch!”

She fell to the ground hard, and her mouth was full of mud.

Longyue turned to look at her with a disdainful smile on her face. “She thought that with her mediocre skills, she would be able to hurt me?” she thought. Before the poker could hit her, she had extended her leg and tripped her.

Stupid!

Zhang Guihua fell quite hard this time and felt a sharp pain around her waist. She got up with difficulty, spat on the ground, and cursed her bad luck. Then she grabbed the poker to hit Longyue.

Li Qingmu quickly went forward to stop her.

“Get lost, No. 3. Get out of my way. This little hussy hit my sister. I must beat the sh*t out of her today, or I won’t let her off!”

“Longyue is my wife. If you want to hit her, step over my dead body!”

Li Qingmu said with a dark expression, his eyes flashing with anger. At this moment, Longyue could sense coldness and murderous intent from him. She had never experienced such a feeling in her previous life!

“Yo, do you have to protect this little hussy? Alright, alright, I’ll fight you both!”

‘As she spoke, she rushed up again. However, Li Qingmu was tall and strong like a wall. How could Zhang Guihua get past him?

In addition, he had some fighting skills. Zhang Guihua struggled before she was restrained by Li Qingmu.

At this moment, Longyue said, “Meihua, you brought people to our house to cause trouble today. You said that I injured your younger sister, but do you know why I hit her?”

“Hmph, what reason could there be? You’re a wicked woman, a wicked woman who will die a horrible death! You hit my sister because you don’t like her…”

“pal”

As Zhang Guihua spoke, she was slapped by Longyue. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

“Watch your mouth. If your sister didn’t throw soup at my husband, I wouldn’t have bothered to teach her a lesson! Luckily, the soup was cold that day. If it was hot, I would have killed her. Don’t doubt me!”

“Aiyo, just for a bowl of soup? Villagers, look at how evil this person is. My sister just spilled a bowl of soup and she wants to split her head open. Isn’t she afraid of divine retribution for doing such a wicked thing?”

“Divine retribution? What is divine retribution? Women should abide by the three principles and four virtues. A woman should obey her father at home, her husband when she is married, and her son when her husband dies! My husband is my one and only, my world. Your younger sister actually dared to

bully my husband. If I don’t teach her a lesson, how can I live up to the expectations of women?”

“Huh?”

Zhang Guihua had wanted to throw a tantrum and shout a few times to gain the support of the villagers. This way, she could put pressure on the Li family. When the time came, she could obtain some benefits. Everything had been planned, but Longyue’s words planted doubts in everyone’s minds.

“That’s right. The man in a family is the sky and the ground. Aren’t women relying on men to live? If anyone dares to bully her man, she should absolutely not relent!”

“This… I think Third Madam Li did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would absolutely use a kitchen knife to fight someone who bullies my husband!”

“That’s right. Even if they’re relatives, they shouldn’t bully their own man. I wouldn’t tolerate it either.”

“…” Zhang Guihua was speechless.

Longyue looked at everyone’s reactions and smiled as if it was only right for her to do so. Obedience was a woman’s basic virtue. If anyone dared to doubt her words, they would be crossing the line. They might even be criticized.

“Who… Who bullied your man?”

Zhang Guihua had come to the Li family to cause trouble because she wanted to embarrass the Li family and gain some benefits. However, with just a few words from Longyue, her situation had deteriorated. When she thought of her younger sister’s temper, she felt a little guilty.

“If splashing soup on my man is not considered bullying, shall I go to your house later and try splashing soup on your man too? Don’t worry, it’ll definitely not be cold soup!”

If it was not cold soup, it had to be hot soup.

“Cough…”

Li Qingmu knew that his little wife had to pretend to be a lady and a little pitiful. Otherwise, she would not have thrown herself at him just now. But now, she had reverted to her original self with just two sentences. This was really awkward.

“Twas compelled to do it!” Longyue turned around and tried to smooth things over. She grabbed Li Qingmu’s hand and rubbed her eyes, pretending to be pitiful.

“Lalso want to be a good daughter-in-law, gentle and virtuous, loved by my parents, and praised by my neighbors. But this second sister-in-law of mine keeps going against me! It’s fine if she bullies me, but my husband was almost hurt by her in trying to protect me! Given the situation, was I not

allowed to be rough and assertive? Was I wrong to do this?”

“She was not wrong, but she was a little ruthless…”

One of the villagers muttered. Longyue immediately replied, “If I didn’t do this, Meihua would never learn!”

“Tl teach you a lesson, you b*tch! I’ll fight you to the death!”

As soon as Longyue finished speaking, the sound of Madam Zhang—cursing like a lunatic—could be heard from behind. She turned around and saw her head wrapped up like a dumpling as she charged at her with bared fangs and brandished claws!

“Hey, villagers, look! This is my second sister-in-law. She’s very fierce!”

As Longyue spoke, she scuttled behind Li Qingmu and hid there like a little lamb.

“Little hussy, why are you pretending? Don’t dodge. I’ll teach you a lesson today!”

Madam Zhang rushed forward to fight Longyue, while the villagers watched on with relish.

“Sigh, sister, that’s enough. Stop quickly!”

Zhang Guihua felt that something was not right. They were here to reason with the Li family for benefits, but now, in front of the whole village, they were messing around with their sister-in-law.

They were supposed to be the victims, but according to the way her younger sister was fighting, it looked as though they were the ones who were making things difficult for Longyue.

As the saying went, the older, the wiser. Having thought it through, Zhang Guihua immediately restrained Zhang Meihua.

Then Madam Li Zhou rushed out and said, “You children, these are all family affairs. Why are you making a din? Hurry up and come inside. Let’s talk slowly… Our in-law is still inside!”
