Upon hearing what his wife said, he was finally relieved.
Zhu Mei-shi was shaking with anger. âSu Qingyue, you are shameless! Your ugly faceâ¦â
Xiao Yishan interrupted her, âOld granny, have you said enough?â
âAm I wrong? Su Qingyue is as disgusting as mud! Itâs a high climb for her to marry my son! â Zhu Mei-shi disdainfully looked at Xiao Yishan, âAnd you, look at yourself, a rough man who canât even recognize words and has a disfigured face. Who doesnât know that Su Qingyue is so ugly because she resents you!â
Hitting a sore spot, Xiao Yishan was filled with anger in his eyes, âSay it again, and I wonât hesitate to do it!â
âIâm an elder, do you dare to beat me?â Seeing that someone was coming, Zhu Mei-shi immediately lay down on the ground and started to bluff, âOuch! Dashan is hitting people! Xiao Yishan is hitting people! Xiao Yishan is striking my old bones! Everyone, come and judge!â
Li Yibaoâs house was just nearby. Hearing the commotion, he and his wife Li Wang-shi came over.
Auntie Hua, who had just returned from the mountain, also stopped.
âHua Familyâs, youâre an honest person. Come and judge! I just mentioned that Xiao Yishan is illiterate, and he hit me!â Zhu Mei-shi was clutching her chest, wheezing, as if she was half dead from the beating.
Auntie Hua said, âZhu Familyâs, I didnât see Dashan do it.â
Zhu Mei-shiâs facial expression stiffened, âHe wanted to do it but hesitated when he saw you all coming.â
âScrew hesitation!â Xiao Yishan picked up his crutch and swung it at Zhu Mei-shi.
Li Yibao hurriedly stopped him, âDashan, sheâs an elder after all, we canât hit her. The villagers will gossip⦠â
âIâve been talked about by the villagers for years.â Xiao Yishanâs face turned pale, and he swung his crutch again.
Zhu Mei-shi was not stupid enough to just stand there and get hit. She jumped up and hid behind Li Yibao, âLi Familyâs, you must stop him! I canât be beaten for nothing.â
Zhu Mei-shi and Li Yibaoâs wife, Li Wang-shi, were around the same age and had a good relationship in their daily lives.
Li Wang-shi also hurriedly persuaded, âDashan, no matter what, you are wrong to hit her. If not for Zhu Mei-shiâs sake, at least give me some face for being neighbors for so many years. Calm down, calm down.â
Xiao Yishan finally stopped with a dark face.
Li Wang-shi quickly said to Zhu Mei-shi, âWhat are you waiting for? Looking for a beating? Hurry up and go!â
Zhu Mei-shi unwillingly glanced at Su Qingyue, thinking of getting her three hundred taels of silver. She knew she would only lose in a head-on conflict with Xiao Yishan right now, so she picked up the carrying pole and hurriedly left.
Just now, Zhu Mei-shi had been so arrogant in insulting her and her second brother. How could Su Qingyue let her go so easily?
Adding to that, her body had once been abused by the Zhu Family to the point of being a bag of bones, barely alive and in a mess.
She had accounts to settle with Zhu Mei-shi and the Zhu Family!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Judging from Zhu Mei-shiâs eyes when she left just now, she would not give up so easily.
She was just waiting for the fish to take the bait, then she would deal with the entire Zhu Family.
Auntie Hua took a look at Su Qingyue, âWife of the Xiao Family, are you holding the hatchet to cut firewood?â
She answered indifferently, âGoing to cut some grass to feed the horse.â
With that, she went towards the mountain.
With such a scene just now, Xiao Yishan felt even more uneasy and followed his wifeâs footsteps.
Li Wang-shi commented in place, âWhy has Zhu Mei-shi picked a fight with the Xiao Family?â
