Chapter 10: Xiaozhen Beats Up the Shameless Villains

Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.

“Father-in-law, father-in-law, open the gate.”

Ye Xiaozhen heard Sun Qing’s voice and a cold smile curled up at the corner of her lips.

She thought they were coming to pick a fight, perfect, her chance for revenge had arrived.

She silently turned around and went back to the house, remembering the stick she had seen for beating clothes yesterday, where was it?

It was probably behind the kitchen door.

She reached for it, but it felt too short.

No, she had to go to the woodshed and find a longer, thicker, sturdier oak branch.

Lin Xinghua opened the courtyard gate and asked unhappily, “What are you doing here?”

Sun Qing smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and said, “Father-in-law, didn’t you forget something?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you get the marriage certificate for the two children yesterday? You took our household registration booklet and disability certificate, right?”

“Yes, didn’t my Lin’an return them to you last night?”

“Xie Lin’an came back last night and only returned the household registration booklet, he said he forgot to bring the disability certificate, and said he would return it today. I see he hasn’t come yet, so I came to ask.”

Ye Zhengguo tugged at her sleeve, giving her an encouraging look.

He thought to himself, this woman is still smart, she speaks so nicely.

Lin Xinghua remembered what his grandson had said before leaving this morning, he felt a little strange, “He said he would return it to you this morning, didn’t he?”

“Ah?”

Both of them were stunned.

“He hasn’t returned it?”

Lin Xinghua thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he forgot? Or maybe he couldn’t find anyone when he went?”

“Impossible, we’ve been at home all day.”

“Then maybe he forgot, the things are with him. Okay, I’ll ask him when he comes back tonight.”

Their faces both changed.

This damn Xie Lin’an, the things are in his hands?

He’ll return them?

He’ll return them, his ass! He said yesterday that he wouldn’t return them.

Ye Zhengguo said, “Father-in-law, you’re not trying to trick us, are you?”

“Why would I trick you? The certificate is really with Lin’an.”

“No, you can’t keep the certificate from us, we went through a lot of trouble to get it.”

Lin Xinghua said impatiently, “It’s no use telling me all this, the thing is really not with me, Lin’an said this morning that it’s with him, if you want it, go ask him for it.”

“This… it’s not…”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s Xiaozhen’s disability certificate, what would I do with it?” He patted his leg and said, “I have a disability certificate too.”

The two thought, how can your disability be the same? You’re just lame, you don’t get subsidies.

They had gone through a lot of trouble to get Ye Xiaozhen a second-level mental disability certificate, which came with subsidies.

Sun Qing was about to say something, but Ye Zhengguo behind her said, “I think Father-in-law is telling the truth, forget it, let’s talk about something else.”

The subsidy was only ten yuan a month, it was fine to miss one month, the main thing was the nine hundred yuan dowry.

Sun Qing also thought it made sense, she said, “Father-in-law, we’ll talk about the certificate when Xie Lin’an comes back. But you have to give us the dowry.”

Lin Xinghua was startled, “Dowry? What dowry?”

“Well, the dowry for your family marrying Xiaozhen, we agreed on one thousand yuan. You only gave one hundred yuan as a deposit yesterday, you still owe nine hundred.”

“What? Still owe nine hundred?” Lin Xinghua was furious, “Are you trying to kill me? It’s written in black and white, it’s one hundred.”

“That’s impossible, how can it be one hundred? Such a big, beautiful girl, even if she’s a fool, she can’t be worth only one hundred.”

“That’s right, it can’t be. Father-in-law, you must be getting old and senile, you’ve forgotten.”

“Yes, yes, you’ve forgotten, it’s one thousand, you only gave one hundred, you still owe us nine hundred.”

The two of them sang in unison, making Lin Xinghua tremble with anger.

“You… you… you get out of here.”

“Hey, Father-in-law, what are you saying? If you do this, we’ll take Xiaozhen back.”

Just then, Ye Xiaozhen came out, holding an oak branch, shouting “Beat up the bad guys!” as she swung it at Ye Zhengguo and Sun Qing.

The two were caught off guard, their faces changed, and they cried out in pain.

“Little beast.”

“Dead girl.”

“Oh my god, stop it.”

“Don’t hit, don’t hit…”

“Xiaozhen, I’m your father…”

Ye Xiaozhen didn’t care, she kept shouting “Beat up the bad guys!” as she swung her arm wildly at them.

She beat them so badly that they ran away in a panic.

They ran out of the Xie family’s courtyard and into the village, cursing as they ran.

Ye Xiaozhen chased after them relentlessly.

Ye Zhengguo cursed.

Sun Qing cried.

Ye Xiaozhen laughed.

She kept beating them until she was exhausted, until the villagers came out to stop the fight, and only then did Ye Xiaozhen stop.

“What happened, what happened? Why are they fighting?”

The villagers heard the commotion and came to watch the show.

Sun Qing cried to the neighbors, “Oh, this heartless, dead girl, little beast, I don’t know what’s wrong with her, she beats us whenever she sees us, look at what she did to us.”

Ye Zhengguo also said, “Look, here, here, it’s all from her beating.”

At this time, Ye Zhengguo’s face was swollen, Sun Qing had a big bump on her head, and they both had bruises all over their bodies.

Especially their arms, because Ye Xiaozhen had swung at them, so they instinctively raised their arms to block, so their arms were the most injured.

They couldn’t even lift their arms without pain.

The villagers were confused.

Everyone knew that Ye Xiaozhen was mentally unstable, but she was always like a poor little thing, someone everyone could bully.

This was the first time they had seen her beat someone.

“Xiaozhen, why are you hitting your parents?”

Ye Xiaozhen looked at the injuries on the two of them and was satisfied, she had finally gotten some revenge.

There was plenty of time, she wasn’t in a hurry, one day she would get her revenge with interest.

“Bad guys, Xiaozhen is beating the bad guys.” She answered foolishly.

The villagers were dumbfounded.

Sun Qing cried and cursed, “You heard that, you heard that, is she crazy? What bad guys, we’re her parents!”

An old lady walked towards Ye Xiaozhen, but when she saw the oak branch in her hand, she didn’t dare to get too close.

“Xiaozhen, these are your parents, how can they be bad guys?”

Heh, but everyone who can be called parents in the world are good people.

She wouldn’t say much with her fool persona, she just insisted that they were bad guys, and she was going to beat up the bad guys.

“Bad guys, they’re bad guys. Xiaozhen is beating, beating…”

As she spoke, she swung the oak branch, scaring the old lady back, the villagers spontaneously backed away, Sun Qing instinctively hid behind Ye Zhengguo, and Ye Zhengguo quickly raised his arm to block.
