Qin Zhenzhenâs anger flared, and she let out a curse. âOne more word of nonsense, and Iâll silence your filthy mouth with a slap!â
Ms. Linâs hand was raised, ready to strike, but before she could act, Qin Zhenzhen swiftly retaliated with another forceful blow. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qian Dashan and Qian Erhuâs expressions turned grim.
Recalling the traumatizing incident when in Zhenzhen had beaten her with a stick while attempting to steal the wild boar, Ms. Lin was filled with fear, hesitating to approach and ask for a beating herself.
Unable to control her emotions, Ms. Lin threw herself onto the ground, throwing a tantrum.
âI canât bear to live anymore. I want to die!â
âMarrying into this family has made me weak. I canât even defend myself when
Iâm being bulliedâ¦â âYouâre their uncle!â
âAll of them are ungrateful!â âFetch the village chief to seek justice!â
âOtherwise, Iâd rather dieâ¦â
âI might as well put an end to it myself instead of being beaten to deathâ¦â Ms. Linâs words served as a reminder to her husband.
Despite being unable to physically defeat Qin Zhenzhen, they still had the village chief and the rules on their side!
Ms. Lin was determined to punish both Qian Shanmin and Qin Zhenzhen in accordance with the village rules.
Upon hearing Ms. Linâs distress, Qian Dashan kicked his son and instructed him, âGo fetch the village chief immediately and inform him that someoneâs life is in danger!â
âAlright, Iâll go right away!â Qian Erhu hurriedly rushed to call the village chief. Alarmed by the news of someoneâs imminent demise, the village chief swiftly made his way from another hill.
Upon witnessing Ms. Lin causing trouble once again, the village chief couldnât help but inwardly curse her; she was such a troublesome woman! There was a saying that a troublesome wife would bring misfortune to three generations!
He wondered why she couldnât get along harmoniously with the Su Family. After all, the Su Familyâs status had drastically improved.
Su Bin had risen to the rank of Cultivated Talent, and Qin Zhenzhen had become the successor of the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital. Her exceptional cooking skills had earned her fame and fortune.
The village chief knew that clashing with such influential individuals would only lead to trouble for Ms. Lin and her family.
They had hoped to strike it rich by associating with the Su Family, but Ms. Lin had severed all ties with them.
The village chief felt the urge to leave as the yams required his attention, and he needed to dig them up before evening. However, with so many people watching, he couldnât ignore the problem at hand; otherwise, he risked being reported to the town.
He decided to address the issue promptly and avoid offending the influential Su Family.
âWhat happened?â the village chief inquired, as Ms. Lin was assisted to sit on the ground by her husband.
Su Lan and others from the Su Family were present, along with an increasing number of curious villagers who had gathered to witness the unfolding drama.
âI was just trying to be kindâ¦â Ms. Lin attempted to explain but was interrupted by the village chief. âAs the person involved, your words may be biased and could affect my judgment. We need to hear from an impartial bystander.â This remark prompted laughter from the onlookers.
Ms. Linâs annoyance was evident, and her face had turned a shade of red resembling liver color.
However, she continued shamelessly, âLet my niece tell you the whole story. She knows best. She is an honest girl and never lies!â
All eyes turned to Feng, but she was so frightened that she could barely speak coherently. âIâ¦â
Ms. Lin glared at her, urging, âWhat are you afraid of? Just tell the truth!â The onlookers couldnât help but chuckle.
Feng Lianâer blushed intensely, unable to utter a word. Sensing her distress, the village chief decided not to press her further. âNever mind, she seems too overwhelmed to speak. Letâs not make things difficult for her.â
He then turned to Qin Zhenzhen and asked, âSu Binâs wife, did you witness what happened just now?â
Qin Zhenzhen nodded, affirming, âI saw the entire incident..â
