Sheng Chunxiang smirked, a hint of wicked amusement in her eyes. “Alright then.”
Zhao Qingya was about to say, “You little vixen—”
But before she could finish, a shadow flashed before her eyes, and a fist landed squarely on her delicate face.
“Ah!”
Zhao Qingya screamed in pain as she staggered backward.
But just as she was about to fall, a hand grabbed her hair—and then a flurry of punches rained down on her like a storm.
“Vixen?! Have you ever seen such a kindhearted vixen?!”
“The Li family ate my food, drank my tea, and made me serve them—yet you call me shameless?!
If you’re so righteous, why did you accept meals bought with my money when Li Jianning took you out?!”
“And so what if I reported your mother?! She’s the real disgrace!
She killed your father, played the pitiful widow, seduced countless married men, and destroyed families!
Now she’s even forging marriage documents! I was being kind by not calling the police—you all should be kneeling to thank me!”
The original Sheng family was too honest and was bullied to the brink of destruction.
The original Sheng Chunxiang was deceived and exploited, giving everything to the Li family even in death!
Why should she keep enduring it? Just because she was too soft-hearted? Just because her fists weren’t strong enough?
Then she would make them stronger!
The more Sheng Chunxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. Her punches grew heavier.
Zhao Qingya was beaten so badly that she couldn’t even scream anymore—it felt like her soul was being knocked out of her body.
Pei Qingyuan folded his arms and watched the show, occasionally clapping and cheering.
“Nice hit!”
“People like her deserve it—otherwise, she’ll never learn!”
As he spoke, he scanned the crowd.
Everyone watching, all the courtyard residents, were completely terrified.
Zhao Qingya was the dream girl of many young men in the courtyard. Her brother’s fiancée was even the niece of the factory director of the towel mill.
With that connection, Zhao Qingya had always been arrogant, walking around like she owned the place.
And yet, Sheng Chunxiang dared to beat her up—and with such force!
What was even scarier was that Pei Qingyuan fully supported her.
Could they really be a couple?
That was horrifying.
One Pei Qingyuan in the courtyard was already too much to handle. Now there was a fierce Sheng Chunxiang, and they were together?!
Were they going to take over the entire courtyard?
Even Zhao Haitang, the neighborhood committee director, was shaken by Sheng Chunxiang’s sheer combat prowess.
No wonder Pei Qingyuan liked her—this girl had an incredible mentality.
If she had this kind of ability, she wouldn’t have suffered from breast pain for so many years.
Lü Bichi had been beaten up by Sheng Chunxiang before, so she knew firsthand how painful it was.
Now, seeing her cousin Zhao Qingya get beaten even worse, she actually forgot to be scared.
Instead, she felt delighted, relieved—justice had been served!
Her aunt had always been so proud of Zhao Qingya, constantly looking down on their family.
Now, her pride was getting thoroughly beaten, and her reputation was in ruins!
Zhao Guihua stood anxiously at the side, not daring to beg for mercy.
Sheng Chunxiang was completely unreasonable—what if she ended up getting beaten too?
Without her looks, how could she keep seducing Pei Guokang?
“Director Zhao, please do something! If this continues, someone’s going to die!” Zhao Guihua had no choice but to beg Zhao Haitang for help.
Zhao Haitang chuckled. “Zhao Guihua, are you saying that Comrade Sheng Chunxiang is a bad person who doesn’t know how to control herself?”
Zhao Guihua quickly denied it. “That’s not what I meant!”
Zhao Haitang: “So, you’re saying that everything your daughter said was right?”
Sheng Chunxiang paused her punching hand and turned to look at Zhao Guihua.
Zhao Guihua’s face turned pale with fear. “No, no… I already told Qingya to apologize!”
Zhao Haitang: “Since you know Zhao Qingya was wrong, but you can’t bear to discipline her yourself, Comrade Sheng Chunxiang is actually helping you. You should be grateful!”
Ha!
Back when she spread rumors about my daughter, she didn’t feel a bit of pity.
Now that her daughter is being beaten up, it’s just karma.
Sheng Chunxiang continued her relentless punches until Zhao Qingya was forced to kneel on the ground, crying out, “Sheng Chunxiang, stop! Stop! I was wrong! I apologize! It’s all my fault!”
It hurt too much.
She had never suffered such pain in her life. If this went on any longer, she felt like she might die.
Sheng Chunxiang finally stopped, stretched her hands a little, and turned to Zhao Guihua. “And you? Are you finally admitting that you forged the marriage certificate?”
Zhao Haitang held up the marriage certificate for everyone to see and explained all the evidence Sheng Chunxiang had told her.
Zhao Guihua was completely panicked. Sheng Chunxiang had actually figured it out—how was that possible?!
Pei Qingyuan seized the opportunity and stepped forward. “Zhao Guihua, you’ve been hiding deep, huh? After all these years, you must have worked really hard.”
“Such skilled forgery—you, a mere housewife, couldn’t possibly have done it alone. I suspect… you’re an enemy agent hiding among the people!”
With such a serious accusation, who would dare to take the blame? That was a death sentence!
“I’m not an enemy agent! You can’t say that! I… I don’t know anything!”
In her desperation, Zhao Guihua suddenly shoved Lü Bichi forward!
“The marriage certificate came from her grandmother! You should ask her!”
Now that things had escalated, someone had to take the fall. Lü Bichi’s grandmother was already old—if she died, then so be it!
Lü Bichi was so terrified her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She quickly shouted, “It wasn’t my grandmother! Zhao Guihua, don’t slander me! You were the one who gave me the marriage certificate and told me to bring it here!”
Pei Qingyuan: “Lü Bichi, don’t make things up. Zhao Guihua isn’t even related to you—why would she have the marriage certificate?”
Lü Bichi blurted out, “How is she not related? Zhao Guihua is my aunt!
She even gave my family five hundred yuan to keep quiet! She said that once it was done, you’d go home with me and become a live-in son-in-law!”
She wasn’t even her real aunt, and they hadn’t been in touch for years. If Zhao Guihua hadn’t wanted to use her family, she wouldn’t have even remembered having such a poor relative!
Sheng Chunxiang: “Zhao Guihua, I have to say, you’re not much to look at, but your schemes are deeper than a coal mine.
Pretending to be a good stepmother in public while scheming behind the scenes!”
Pei Qingyuan was furious. He swung a slap across Zhao Guihua’s face so hard that she fell to the ground!
“You old hag! I knew you had bad intentions, but I never imagined you were trying to wipe out the Pei family’s bloodline!”
“Director Zhao, I want to report her! Zhao Guihua is an enemy agent!”
Two lifetimes of hatred—all settled today!
Even if she didn’t die, she had to shed a layer of skin!
Zhao Guihua covered her face, shaking with anger. Pei Qingyuan had actually hit her! And now he wanted to call the police?! She hadn’t even called the police on him yet!
“I’m not an enemy agent! This is our family’s private matter, not a case for the police!”
Zhao Guihua shouted in protest.
Ever since she married into the family, Pei Qingyuan had always been at odds with her. But no matter what, he had never torn things apart completely or dared to hit her.
Now, he had done both—all because of that little tramp Sheng Chunxiang!
Sheng Chunxiang took a few quick steps forward and kicked Zhao Guihua, sending her flying straight to the courtyard gate!
“So annoying!”
“Director Zhao, no need to thank me. Take her away and investigate properly!”
There was no point in arguing—just send her away, plain and simple.
Pei Qingyuan: “Xiangxiang, I’m going too.”
Sheng Chunxiang nodded. “Alright, go ahead.”
Director Zhao led his people away, and Sheng Chunxiang clapped the dust off her hands. Ignoring the onlookers, she turned around and went home.
She packed up her things—tonight, she was taking the train back to her parents’ house!
But just as she was packing, someone arrived.
“Sheng Chunxiang, are you really going to keep making trouble like this?”
