No man can remain calm when accused of wearing a green hat, even if he is honest and not very talkative.
Song was startled by the furious Zhang Gaoliang: "What are you doing?"
"What's wrong with you? Don't slander people!" Zhang Wuliang was still trying to defend Li.
Song was amused by the timid Li behind him, thinking, "You shameless little wretch, how dare you call me Child's father, and there's also Young Lady Qingxi. Let's see how you end up today!"
Clearing her throat, raising her eyebrows, hands on her hips, and head held high, Song felt confident: "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? The whole village knows about it; you're the only one who doesn't realize you've been cuckolded!
A woman like Li deserves to be punished. Hmph, trying to slander my family while exposing your own disgrace! You deserve it!"
Li burst out from inside like a madwoman, extending her long-nailed hand to scratch: "Song, I'll let you be reckless; I'll show you!"
Li was on the verge of a breakdown; Song's words snapped the last thread of her composure, delivering a heavy blow to her already anxious heart.
What was Song doing? She wasn't a pushover!
Women in rural areas can argue just as fiercely as men; all sorts of fighting techniques were on display.
Li's sudden appearance caught Song off guard. After taking two hits, she reacted and grabbed Li's hair tightly. Her slightly dirty nails scratched across Li's face.
In an instant, several wounds appeared on Li's face, faintly oozing blood.
At the same time, Li used both hands and feet to claw at Song's waist and kicked her calves hard, causing Song to grimace in pain.
"You shameless woman! You think you have a reason to be angry? I've never seen such a pathetic woman like you; you can't even walk when you see a man. You're really embarrassing for women!"
"Song, you shameless person! You can't even manage your own man and yet come to others. I see you're just angry!" Li said angrily.
She completely forgot that Zhang Gao was right beside her. After a disastrous encounter at Liu Qingxi's place in the morning, coupled with being slandered, now being publicly humiliated by Song had her immersed in a sea of anger!
The village has never lacked gossipers, and the morning's drama was far from over. Another battle had the villagers entertained, and such explosive news stirred up another wave of gossip.
Word spread quickly; within no time at all, villagers rushed from all directions, afraid of missing the most exciting moment.
From start to finish, Zhang Gaoliang was in a daze. After coming to his senses, he suddenly found himself surrounded by layers of people, with Song and Li tangled in a fierce fight in the center.
Though the weather was cool, those accustomed to labor still wore thin clothing, and the two women looked utterly disheveled in everyone's eyes.
Song's hair was a mess, her clothes twisted into a ball full of wrinkles. Her waist ached from soft tissue pain, and her legs were tense from being kicked twice, causing her to grimace in pain.
Li was no better off; she looked more disheveled than Song. One of her shirt buttons had been torn off, there were several scratches on her face, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as Song pinned her to the ground.
It seemed they had deep-seated grudges against each other, determined to trample one another down.
Indeed, Song couldn't tolerate the slander against her man, while Li retaliated against Song by exposing rumors right in front of her husband. The animosity between them only intensified.
"Stop fighting!" A furious shout rang out like thunder.
The familiar voice made Li, who was pinned down, freeze. Zhang Wuliang was a hundred times scarier than usual when angry; even though she often acted bossy, she felt fear now.
"You shameless little wretch! If I hear you speaking about my family again, I won't let you off easily!"
Taking advantage of Li's momentary stillness, Song landed two hard slaps and kicked her twice before brushing off the dirt on her clothes and calmly standing up.
Although she was also injured in this fight, overall, she emerged victorious!
Like a triumphant general, Song straightened her clothes and confronted Zhang Wuliang, saying, "Mind your own wife; don't go around slandering others. Hmph! You haven't even cleaned your own backside!"
The villagers surrounding them pointed and whispered among themselves.
"Li is really shameless; she must be feeling guilty about her own infidelity and is looking for someone to blame!"
"Sorghum is truly pitiful, working so hard to support the whole family, only to be cuckolded without even knowing it. If it weren't for someone telling the truth today, we wouldn't have known!"
"Exactly! No wonder she dresses so provocatively. I've seen her visiting the Village Head's house several times!"
"Really? When did that happen?" Several people immediately gathered around.
At this moment, Zhang Gaoliang was filled with rage. He thought of his own hard work and dedication, recalling the sympathetic looks from neighbors along the way and the whispers of those around him.
His face burned with shame; the woman he had treated with all his heart had betrayed him so cruelly, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated.
But the gossip was not what crushed him the most; it was Li's cautious servitude and her weak resistance when faced with Song's accusations that broke him.
It turned out everything was true. Ha ha ha ha.
Zhang Gaoliang stood there foolishly, the figures around him becoming increasingly blurry, as if they were from a distant place, and the noisy voices faded away.
With such a commotion, Liu Qingxi heard about it. Although she usually didn't care about other people's affairs, she was dragged over by her sister Zhang Hongling, who insisted on coming.
"Sister Liu, since she's done that to you, of course we have to go see the excitement. Let's go!"
Reluctantly standing at the edge of the crowd, Liu Qingxi felt no sympathy for Li's situation. When she was slandering herself in the morning, why didn't she think about her own feelings?
"Hmph!" Liu Qingxi, observing coldly, felt no shame for the lies she had just uttered.
At that moment, she was unaware that her casually spoken lies had inadvertently struck at the truth of the matter, even though the male lead of this scandal was not the person she was referring to.
Li was terrified by Zhang Gaoliang's grim expression, her heart racing with guilt. Ignoring the piercing pain in her heart, she collapsed in front of her husband, pleading for forgiveness with snot and tears.
"Dear, I really didn't do it; it's all made up by the Song family!" The sticky mixture of snot and tears flowed into her mouth, completely unnoticed.
"No! It's that shameless girl Liu Qingxi! Dear, you have to believe me. I've been with you for so many years, raising children together. You can't trust an outsider!"
The man's gaze was too terrifying; her voice grew softer and softer.
Zhang Gaoliang turned around without a word and went back into the yard. Li cautiously followed behind him. The man slammed the door shut with a bang, leaving behind an intrigued crowd of onlookers.
Such explosive news, such astonishing neighborly battles and family conflicts—how could they bear to leave?
Even more audaciously, some sneaked around the yard to eavesdrop from behind Zhang Gaoliang's house.
Outside, curiosity ran rampant; inside, tension filled the air.
