"Wow!" Everyone gasped in shock; this woman really had the audacity to make such demands.
Liu Qingxi was extremely annoyed with this woman, feeling like she couldn't escape the presence of this disgusting person. If she could, she would have slapped her twice already.
But she didn't need to lift a finger; there were plenty of people willing to help.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in dark blue patterned cotton clothes rushed out from the crowd. She dashed up to Wang and began to scold her furiously, "People need dignity just like trees need bark. How have you lived this long as such a shameless shrew?"
"If I were you, I would have already thrown myself into a wall. Your existence is a waste of food and resources. You bully young girls for no reason, and I’ll tear your mouth apart."
As the woman ranted, her hands and feet were also in motion. Wang sat on the ground while the woman stood over her, clearly demonstrating the advantage of their positions.
Liu Qingxi was dumbfounded; what she had intended to say was completely overshadowed by this outburst.
The woman seemed like she had ignited a firecracker, and Wang was caught off guard, unable to fight back: "Let’s see if you dare to steal again, you shameless thing."
It was as if Wang had a personal vendetta against her.
Wang was completely bewildered throughout the ordeal. Where was the Ox Cart she had imagined? Where was the scene where Liu Qingxi obediently handed it over?
By the time she realized what was happening, she had already been pinned to the ground by the woman.
The villagers watching took their time before finally stepping forward to intervene: "Stone Child's mother, get up quickly and don’t waste your breath on this woman. After all, Kid is standing with Qingxi."
"Exactly! We can't let Qingxi be bullied."
Though they were trying to break up the fight, someone accidentally stepped on the wrong foot.
The wailing of Wang echoed through the sky, truly painful to the eardrums.
Speaking of that Aunt, you were supposed to mediate, but why didn’t you give Wang a good pinch?
And that Auntie, your elbow jabbed Wang's soft chest.
With a howl, Wang jolted, the pain penetrating to her bones made her shiver all over. Her chest was suddenly hit by an elbow—what a blow!
Liu Qingxi was once again dumbfounded, but why are these Aunts so adorable?
This mediation was exhausting for Wang. When the woman who had hit her was finally pulled away, a long tear appeared in her silk clothing, and her hair was in disarray, looking like a chicken coop.
Everywhere hurt; a golden hairpin fell to the ground, stained with the sticky residue she left behind, and there were red marks on her face, with a few spots even oozing red beads of blood.
“Liu Qingxi, you little brat, is this how you treat your elder?”
Wang had suffered a loss but showed no signs of remorse; she still dared to shout loudly. Liu Qingxi truly worried for her intelligence—couldn’t she use her brain? Wasn’t it obvious that this kid wanted to teach her a lesson?
At that moment, the woman who had rushed out like a madwoman suddenly began to struggle fiercely, trying to break free from those holding her back.
Wang shrank her neck sharply; the pain all over her body was unbearable. She swallowed hard and dared not be so arrogant anymore.
Slowly standing up, gritting her teeth in discomfort.
Seeing Liu Qingxi standing aside watching the spectacle without moving at all, Wang shot her a fierce glare.
Liu Qingxi smiled slightly and stepped forward: “Aunt, look at how dirty you are; this isn’t good. It really affects your image, doesn’t it? Shall I help you?”
The girl extended her delicate, tender hands, resembling green onions, and gently patted the dirt off Wang's clothes.
From an angle that others couldn't see, she softly spoke, "Why are you being so arrogant? Wouldn't it be better for us to keep our distance and not interfere with each other? But you..."
Wang shot her a fierce glare, wanting to push the girl away. However, with the villagers' eyes upon her, she lacked the courage to continue being arrogant.
But was Liu Qingxi someone who could be easily bullied? She could ignore it once or twice, but it would become annoying after repeated instances.
This woman needed to be dealt with. Liu Qingxi continued, "Do you know what your daughter is going through right now? Your arrogance is all because of Wandehai, right? What if that man stops favoring Liu Qingzhi?"
Wang's eyes widened in shock, her panda-like eyes bruised from being beaten. The pain jolted her awake, but what was even more terrifying were Liu Qingxi's words: "What do you mean? Impossible! Zhi'er is carrying a son."
She knew that her current arrogance and regaining control of the household were all due to Liu Qingzhi's favor. What would she do if that favor disappeared?
"Impossible! When I returned, it was your son-in-law who personally sent someone to escort me. You're just a shameless little wretch."
"Haha, I'm not the one who's delusional. Not only is Liu Qingzhi no longer favored, but even your son-in-law is in deep trouble. He might not last long before going out of business."
Liu Qingxi knew all this because Yang Yichen had informed her. The catalyst for all this was Wandehai's secret kidnapping.
Things could have remained peaceful, but Wandehai instigated this incident. If she didn't fight back, wouldn't that be letting herself down?
Yang Yichen understood Liu Qingxi's character; he knew she wasn't a completely protected woman or a passive flower. After uncovering the truth, he immediately informed her.
Liu Qingxi felt very angry inside; however, she wouldn't show it on her face. Instead, she would gradually wear down Wang's hopes.
But Wang's obvious disbelief made Liu Qingxi very unhappy—indeed, very unhappy.
"I know you don't believe it, but what can you do? You can go to town and ask about the current situation in Wandehai. Your son-in-law is too busy to take care of you. So..."
The prolonged tone made Wang's heart tremble. Could it be that this despicable girl was telling the truth?
Wang suddenly felt a bit timid; Liu Qingxi's words seemed to hold some weight.
No longer able to maintain her arrogance, she dragged her injured legs and stumbled away.
The villagers burst into laughter: "Qingxi, what did you say to her? Why is she so scared?"
The one who spoke was none other than Song, who usually had a good relationship with Liu Qingxi and would casually ask anything.
"Aunt, it's nothing. I just said a few casual words to her. Liu Qingzhi is probably going to lose favor."
"Really? That's wonderful news!"
The villagers of Ten Li Pu clapped their hands in delight; it was simply the best news ever.
"Exactly! Let's see how arrogant Wang will be in the future. This woman really deserves a lesson. It felt so good when Stone Child's mother beat her up."
"Hahaha, when I was breaking up the fight earlier, I secretly twisted her a few times. Oh, and I saw someone step on her foot twice. Next time, we should do it like that."
