Chapter 119

“Why are you so mean? Why didn’t you say anything when Yun Girl was suffering?”

“Don’t forget that you are a Li, not a Xia. A Girl should mind her own business.”

Xia Muqing: “Hu Guqin, I’m standing right here, and you dare to bully my daughter? You think you’re the captain’s wife, so I’m afraid of you?”

“Does the captain not have any sense of justice? Can he allow his wife to beat people at will? If that’s the case, I’m going to the town leaders to ask if this is how things are done.”

“Heh, Xia Muqing, go ahead, go ahead. If you don’t go, you’re a coward. See if the leaders will listen to you. You think I’m being scared? You’re just an illiterate, you probably don’t even know which way the leader’s door faces.”

“A married daughter, you have nothing better to do, your hands are so long. Did Mrs. Wu not control you lately?”

Li Wenfang: “Auntie, what does it matter to you what we say about that little vixen? How much did she give you? Why are you sticking up for her?”

“Slap, slap, slap…”

Before everyone could react, Xia Yunxuan slapped her a few times. “Li Wenfang, if you can’t speak properly, I’ll cut your tongue off. It’s not much use anyway.”

“Ah…”

“You little vixen, I don’t know where you came from, you dare to hit me? I’m going to teach you a lesson today, let you know how powerful I am.”

Hu Guqin: “She’s gone wild, if you dare to touch Yun Girl, I guarantee you won’t be able to escape.”

Xia Yunxuan: Patted Hu Guqin’s hand and said, “Auntie, don’t worry, she’s so weak, she can’t hurt me. I’ll teach her a lesson and vent your anger for you. Her mouth is dirty, she needs to wash it. She must have eaten dung this morning.”

Li Wenfang: “Xia Yunxuan, you dare! If you dare to bully me, I’ll have my mother beat you to death. You think you’re great now that you’re with a city educated youth? Be careful, one day you’ll be dumped.”

Xia Yunxuan was quick to act, without saying a word, she slapped her two times. Li Wenfang didn’t even react.

Xia Yunxuan dug her ears and shook her hand. Damn, it hurt so much, she has such a thick face. “Li Wenfang, are you still breastfeeding? You’re always talking about your mother, your mother. Can’t you live without your mother? Since you’re still breastfeeding, stay at home, why are you out here making a fool of yourself?”

“Ah…” Li Wenfang’s shrill voice rang out, “You little vixen, you dare to hit me.”

Li Wenxi stood up softly and said, “Cousin, why are you like this now? Even if you’re not Xia’s biological daughter, it’s not too much to call my mother Auntie. She’s your elder after all. You’re treating her child like this in front of her? And why do you always hit people?”

“You’ve gone to school and read books, didn’t your teacher teach you to respect your elders? Even if my mother said something wrong, just listen, it won’t hurt you to say a few words.”

“Aren’t you afraid of making others feel cold? The Xia family raised you after all. Even if you don’t care about their upbringing, you shouldn’t be ungrateful.”

“Are you really going to cut off all ties with us, your relatives? Are you sure you won’t need everyone’s help in the future? You’re doing things so ruthlessly now, what are you going to do then? Haven’t you thought about it?”

“We women, before we get married, we still rely on our families. Unlike you, you have such a fierce temper, you can’t even be said a few words. It’s not that I’m saying this, you should change your temper. What will you do if the educated youth doesn’t want you one day?”

“ Girls should be gentle, love their younger generations, respect their elders, and they shouldn’t hit people. After marriage, they should serve their in-laws and be considerate and filial. They should be eager to do chores, then everyone will like them, don’t you think?”

Heh, Xia Yunxuan thought, what a big white lotus. She used to pretend to be weak and speak like this, always stepping on people’s sore spots. Now she was playing this trick on her. It seemed that she was living too comfortably.

Xia Yunxuan: “Li Wenxi, you really think I’m easy to bully, don’t you? You’re just bored and have nothing to do, you’re eager to be scolded. What I do is none of your business.”

“Stop pretending to be a white lotus in front of me. You don’t know that I specialize in dealing with white lotuses?”

“You want to teach me? You’re not qualified. What are your ulterior motives? Do you think everyone is blind and doesn’t know? You think you can treat others like fools.”

Li Wenxi: “Cousin, what’s wrong with you now? Have you been stimulated? Your temper has changed so much. I just said a few words, you don’t want to listen, I won’t say anything.

“I’m not doing this for your own good, I’m afraid you’ll go astray. Since you can’t tell right from wrong, I won’t say anything else, lest you get upset again.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Li Wenxi, since you’re deliberately trying to make things difficult for me today, you can’t blame me. If I say anything later, I hope you can still bear it, it’s very explosive.”

Li Wenxi thought, could this little vixen really know something? It’s impossible, she’s always been very careful. How did this little vixen know?

If she knew, she would have said it long ago. She must be bluffing her. She couldn’t mess up. If the villagers and her parents found out, they would definitely beat her to death. After all, they hadn’t come to her house to propose yet, and she had already given herself to him.

No one saw it, there was no evidence. She could just say that she was slandering her, she didn’t believe that she could produce any evidence. Could she strip her naked and inspect her in public?

Yun Chuyun, the Captain’s wife, looked gossipy and curious, she smiled and said, “Yun Girl, what did you find out? Tell us all so we can hear it too.”

Wang Hehua, the accountant’s wife, also said, “Yeah, Yun Girl, we work every day, it’s so boring. Auntie has been pretty good to you, right? If you have good news, you can’t keep it to yourself, you have to share it with everyone.”

Why were these aunties so gossipy? Their eagerness to watch the show was too obvious.

Xia Yunxuan patted her chest, pretending to be scared and said, “Aunties, I dare not. If I say it, they’ll beat me to death. I don’t have parents to support me, who can I blame for my bad luck?”

“Anyway, this matter, you’ll probably find out in a few months. You can all eat melon seeds and watch the show then.”

“After all, people do things, the heavens watch. Secrets can’t be kept forever. I don’t know if a certain person can bear the consequences. If I were her, I’d be so anxious now, I’d be afraid of others finding out something. Unlike her, she’s like a monkey jumping up and down.”

“Sigh, she has a big heart,” Xia Yunxuan shook her head sadly, as if she was thinking for others. “Aunties, I’m going to work now. You can wait to eat at the banquet in a few months, prepare your gift money.”

Xia Yunxuan was about to leave, but Li Wenfang grabbed her and said, “Xia Yunxuan, what are you talking about in a sarcastic tone? Tell me clearly, otherwise, you’re not allowed to leave.”
