Chapter 23: Furious Attack on Li Xiaocui’s Family

Lin Nuo said to Widow Li, “If you claim we’re bullying you, then show us the evidence. How do we know it’s not a scheme to extort us?”

Hearing Lin Nuo’s words, the crowd began to ask Li Xiaocui if she had any evidence. They thought that such a beautiful, ethereal girl could never bully anyone, and Lin Lei also looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

Li Xiaocui was adamant, insisting that Lin Lei hit someone and demanded compensation, but when pressed for reasons for the fight, she stuttered and couldn’t provide a clear answer.

Lin Nuo looked at them as if they were a group of shameless extortionists. Turning to Gouzi, she asked, “Could you go help me invite the village head and the head of the neighborhood?”

“Sure, Sister Lin.” Gouzi responded and ran off.

Seeing Gouzi run, Li Xiaocui cursed inwardly for meddling.

The mention of inviting the village head made Li Xiaocui feel a bit uneasy, knowing her son had started the insults first, causing her to get flustered.

Thinking it best to take the initiative, she lashed out at Lin Nuo, saying, “You shameless woman, how dare you invite the village head? Aren’t you afraid others will find out about your disgraceful deeds? And bringing a little illegitimate child with you, you still can’t behave.” As she spoke, she tried to grab Lin Nuo.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo was truly enraged. She stepped forward and kicked Li Xiaocui to the ground. Then she shouted at her, “What shameful deeds are you talking about? You better clarify your words, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

At that moment, a fierce murderous aura radiated from Lin Nuo, her eyes glaring at Li Xiaocui as if she were a debt collector, startling Li Xiaocui and leaving the crowd in shock. They never expected such a delicate beauty could be so fierce.

“You little shameless woman, how dare you hit me? I’ll fight you to the end,” Li Xiaocui retorted, lunging at Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo, clearly impatient, grabbed her by the collar and delivered two hard slaps. Then, with a strong kick, she sent Li Xiaocui flying several meters away.

The scene fell eerily silent, with only the terrified cries of Fat Li and the groans of Li Xiaocui breaking the quiet. Lin Nuo showed no mercy with that kick, so Li Xiaocui was seriously hurt.

When Li Xiaocui’s husband and her brother hurried over, they saw her lying on the ground, unable to get up, blood at the corner of her mouth, and Fat Li next to her nearly fainting from crying. Their eyes revealed a fierce intent.

“You little brat, I’ll kill you today!” With that, the two men rushed at Lin Nuo. She pulled Lin Lei aside and grabbed a firewood stick from beside the fence to strike at the two men.

The speed was so fast that the crowd didn’t react in time; the two men were already lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

“Ah, you little brat, I’m going to kill you!” they shouted, preparing to attack again. Lin Nuo was quick; she stepped on the chest of Li Xiaocui’s man with one foot and pointed the stick at Li Xiaocui’s brother, saying, “I’m just here to reason with everyone. If you keep harassing us, I don’t mind sending your whole family to reunite with the king of hell.”

At that moment, Lin Nuo seemed like a demon from hell, coming to collect debts, and the two men dared not act recklessly anymore.

On the side, Lin Lei watched his sister with excitement, unable to put his feelings into words, his heart racing as if it would leap out. His sister was amazing. Ever since she escaped from the mountain a few months ago after being framed, she had changed; she had become very powerful and cared for him even more. He liked this kind of sister because it meant he wouldn’t be bullied by others.

“Make way, make way!” The village head and the neighborhood head squeezed through the crowd.

Seeing the people on the ground, their mouths twitched; they had previously worried that the siblings would suffer losses, but now it was clear they had overthought it.

Before Lin Nuo could speak, Li Xiaocui, who had climbed up from the ground, wailed, “Village head, neighborhood head, please judge for us! Lin Nuo and her brother bullied my son, and we came to seek justice, but they refused to acknowledge it and beat us up like this.”

“Yes, village head, please judge for us!” At this moment, the two men on the ground also got up.

Hearing their words, both the village head and the neighborhood head felt a headache coming on. On the way here, someone had already explained the situation to them, and it was clear that Li Xiaocui’s family was in the wrong.

“Ahem,” the village head cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “I am a distant uncle of the Lin family. For this matter, I ask the neighborhood head to take charge; my involvement would be unfair.”

With that, he walked behind Lin Nuo and the others, as if he were their backing.
