Chapter 23: He Has Someone to Protect Him

Moreover, cooking porridge at night is also very convenient. With a burning honeycomb briquette, wash the rice and put it in a crock pot, and you can go to sleep.

When Aunt Wang came, she heard that someone had poured feces into the porridge in the pot last night, and she also cursed a few times.

After cursing, she asked Shen Mingzhi, “Who is so wicked, disgusting us like this for several days in a row?”

“Who else could it be? I’ll go out and buy a new pot, you help me watch the porridge in the rice cooker.” Shen Mingzhi said to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and whispered, “This Jiang Yinyin is too much… What’s the grudge? Didn’t she bully you first?”

Shen Mingzhi didn’t answer.

She didn’t go to buy a pot immediately, but went to find a blacksmith shop.

After asking many people, she finally found a blacksmith and bought a few wild boar traps to take home.

After placing the wild boar traps under the wall, she finished all this, then cooked half a pot of porridge, and went back to her room to rest.

In the middle of the night, she heard a scream outside, but ignored it.

She slept soundly.

But early the next morning, the door of the courtyard house was being knocked on vigorously.

Wang Wu put on his slippers and went to open the door. As soon as he pulled open the latch, a woman in a cheongsam let her younger brothers rush in.

“Who is Shen Mingzhi! Call her out for me!” The woman asked loudly as soon as she came in.

Wang Wu didn’t know why, but turned around to find Shen Mingzhi.

Shen Mingzhi was already waiting in her room.

When Wang Wu came over, the woman also came along. Seeing Shen Mingzhi, she immediately directed her younger brothers.

Four or five people rushed up, twisted Shen Mingzhi’s hands, and then kicked her in the back of the knee.

Shen Mingzhi knelt on the ground, raised her eyes to look at the woman, and asked innocently, “What did I do that you treat me like this?”

The woman came forward, slapped Shen Mingzhi hard, then grabbed her hair and cursed, “You slut who steals everywhere when you don’t have a man, you tricked my son into climbing the wall to come here to be with you at night, and put wild boar traps under the wall, almost breaking his leg, and you’re still pretending?! If I don’t beat you to death today, I’ll be a fool!”

“Wang Wu!” Shen Mingzhi shouted to the young man who was still stunned.

Wang Wu thought that when Shen Xiuzhu left, he told him to take good care of Shen Mingzhi, so he quickly turned around to find someone.

“Catch him back!” the woman shouted immediately.

Hearing this, Wang Wu ran very fast.

Shen Mingzhi shouted behind him, “Go to the police station first!”

Wang Wu was so scared that he ran out of the courtyard house and ran into Aunt Wang. He grabbed her and ran, “You go to the police station and say someone is being beaten to death here, I’ll go find Young Master Shen, hurry up! If it’s too late, Miss Shen will die!”

Aunt Wang didn’t know why, but carried her basket and ran to the police station.

Seeing Wang Wu running away, the woman said to her younger brothers, “Smash her face for me! Hurry up, beat her and leave!”

Shen Mingzhi was grabbed, and slap after slap hit her face.

She didn’t know how many slaps she had taken… The two children in the room were crying non-stop. Her face hurt so much that she couldn’t move, and her head was buzzing.

“Sister!”

The commotion here attracted Wang Xinian, who was preparing for the exam in another courtyard.

Seeing Shen Mingzhi being slapped constantly, he ran over anxiously and raised his fist to hit someone.

Shen Mingzhi struggled to raise her eyes, saw the gloom in his eyes, and reminded him while enduring the severe pain in her cheeks, “Don’t do it… You still have to take the exam, don’t let the police station catch your fault.”

Wang Xinian’s fist stopped in mid-air. In this moment of stunnedness, the person brought by the woman kicked him in the stomach.

He took several steps back and sat down on the ground.

Before he could get up, a man with a fierce face grabbed his hair and pressed him to the ground.

He struggled desperately and was slapped.

A sharp pain came from his ear, and the familiar sharp tinnitus rang in his mind.

Seeing him being beaten, Shen Mingzhi’s anger surged in her chest, and she was extremely angry, “Why are you beating him?! He doesn’t know anything, I’m the one who put the wild boar traps, direct your anger at me!”

Seeing her like this, Wang Xinian thought of being beaten by his disliked biological father at home… The days of being thrown outside in the cold winter and shivering, and also thought of the days when his stepmother’s family, his stepfather pointed fingers at him, at that time his mother, and his stepmother, did not dare to stand up and say a word for him.

In the days of being scolded and beaten, the two women he wanted to rely on chose to be silent.

They were afraid of those two men…

Shen Mingzhi was slapped several times again for protecting him. She fell to the ground, gasping for breath because of the pain.

When the people from the police station came, Shen Mingzhi was taken to the health center.

Aunt Wang also brought Jiang Guofu.

She put the two children in a bamboo basket and carried them to the health center.

“Yinyin is really outrageous! Miss Shen is already like this, and she still makes things difficult for Miss Shen everywhere! A few days ago, she went to make ointment to sell in order to change houses for the children…” Aunt Wang cried while recounting Shen Mingzhi’s recent efforts for the children.

Speaking of the pot being filled with feces, she couldn’t help but choked up, “People climbed the wall and ran to our place, and their feet were caught by wild boar traps, but the woman who ran to beat her slandered her for stealing people. I don’t know if she stole people? She is busy from morning to night, either going to the mountains outside the city to dig medicine, or going to sell medicine, where does she have time to mess with men?! These people bully her as a widow and orphan, and pour dirty water on her!”

Jiang Guofu’s face was livid.

Seeing the nurse coming out of the ward, he quickly stepped forward and asked, “How are the children?”

“The flesh inside the mouth is rotten, it’s better to be hospitalized for drips recently, can’t eat anything.” After the nurse finished speaking, she went to get the liquid to be infused for Shen Mingzhi.

Jiang Guofu looked at Jiang Qing beside him, “Call that dead girl Jiang Yinyin over here for me!”

“How can it be sure that it’s her”

“Madam, I have been in the Jiang family for so many years, and I never say anything about your family’s gossip. But today, I have to offend you and say a fair word for Miss Shen. She was selling medicine well, why did Miss Jiang take four people to bully her and smash all her things? Is this intentional or unintentional?” Aunt Wang would never help Jiang Yinyin again.

Moreover, Shen Mingzhi treats her as an elder and is good to her, she recognizes Shen Mingzhi as her goddaughter!

“Find her over.” Jiang Guofu emphasized again with a sullen face.

“If Shen Mingzhi wakes up and pursues the matter, do you think she and that person who climbed the wall in the middle of the night to pour feces into the pot where people eat can escape? The mother broke into her residence and beat her half to death, and now it has even alarmed the police station, do you think she can run?!”

Jiang Guofu’s words made Jiang Qing nervous.

She quickly turned around to find someone.

When Shen Mingzhi woke up, Aunt Wang, who was guarding in the ward, quickly said, “The police station is already investigating, and with the help of Young Master Wang Wu, the police station now knows who beat you.”

Shen Mingzhi’s face was swollen, and she couldn’t speak, so she could only nod.

Aunt Wang looked at her like this, her eyes turned red, “Miss Jiang is so young, how can her mind be so vicious?”

Shen Mingzhi thought, she was originally a vicious person.

But Shen Mingzhi knew that something like this might happen when she put the wild boar traps, but she didn’t expect that the woman would really dare to rely on her family’s money to beat her to death.
