Chapter 483: Chapter 483
Chuchu held Mai Qiqi tightly, feeling her tremble. She was both angry and heartbroken, comforting her with the words, "Alright, let’s go back to Beijing. We won’t bother with the people or things here anymore."
After a while, Mai Qiqi calmed down. With a bitter expression and a forced smile, she said, "I’m sorry, it seems I’m really not suited for this place. I want to leave."
Chuchu nodded: "Don’t take the blame upon yourself. It’s just that there are too many bad people. Chen Ke has already called the police station in the county. The police will be here this afternoon. Zhang Gouzi will never get out in his life, and those three who sought death today will get a taste of their own medicine."
"If you want to leave, we’ll go pack our things and leave right now."
Mai Qiqi nodded sadly.
The two headed back to the family quarters, encountering Zhang Yuhuan and Lin Xiaozhi on the road, both of whom did not stop to greet them.
Watching the two cars whizz past, Lin Xiaozhi and Zhang Yuhuan flusteredly dodged the dust, exchanging glances.
Lin Xiaozhi asked puzzledly, "What happened? Was there some kind of incident?"
Just now, Chuchu’s car hurried towards Huangjiagou Gully, and not long after, both of them returned, still so indifferent.
Zhang Yuhuan thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Perhaps something happened. Let’s hurry home. We still have to cook and then teach in the afternoon." Find the newest release on ⓝovelFire.net
After hearing what Zhang Yuhuan said, Lin Xiaozhi shifted her focus back and laughed:
"We used to compete so much for a teaching position at Huangjiagou Primary School. Now that I am a teacher, I finally understand why Chuchu didn’t want this job. You have to get up at six or seven in the morning, walk back under the hot sun at noon, rush to cook and clean without much break, and then hurry back to the school. One person also has to teach two grades. Only those who do it know."
Between the lines, there was dissatisfaction with teaching at Huangjiagou School, as well as a hint of jealousy towards Chuchu.
Zhang Yuhuan looked at her, speaking indifferently, "I think it’s quite good, life has become much more fulfilling than before. Although one person is responsible for two grades, there are only forty or fifty students in those two grades."
Not receiving Zhang Yuhuan’s agreement, but rather this soft rebuttal, Lin Xiaozhi paused, forced a smile, and stopped talking. The two continued on their way.
After returning to the family quarters, Chuchu didn’t talk about picking up the twins from kindergarten, but instead pulled Mai Qiqi home to cook.
"People are iron, food is steel. No matter what happens, let’s eat first. It’s easier to handle things on a full stomach."
So, Mai Qiqi silently helped Chuchu cook, silently ate her meal, and halfway through suddenly raised her head, put down her chopsticks with a "snap," and said:
"I can’t leave without fighting back!"
A smile appeared on Chuchu’s lips as she asked, "What do you want to do?"
Mai Qiqi grabbed Chuchu’s hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fight back!"
"Alright." Chuchu immediately agreed, "After dinner, we’ll go to Huangjiagou Village."
Hearing Wan Chu’er’s response, Mai Qiqi finally perked up again and started eating seriously.
The two drove towards Huangjiagou once again, but this time they didn’t follow the usual path. Instead, they chose a longer, alternate route, and when they were about one kilometer away from Huangjiagou, they parked the car in some bushes and walked into the village on foot.
The Zhang Family lived on the west side of the village; the three brothers’ houses stood next to each other, quite a distance from other farmhouses, with dense trees in between which meant that even if something happened, it wouldn’t be easily spotted by the other families.
At that moment, in Zhang Gouzi’s house, besides Zhang Gouzi himself who had been taken to the county public security bureau, Zhang Gouzi’s wife, Zhang Laoer and his wife, and Zhang Laosan and his wife were all present.
Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan had swollen faces and bruises all over their bodies from being beaten by villagers at noon. Zhang Gouzi’s wife, because she was a woman, was less injured than her two brothers-in-law, but her face was also bruised, a mix of purple and red.
"Those sons of bitches, siding with outsiders to beat someone from their own village."
"Exactly, and who knows what benefits that old good-for-nothing village chief got from that slutty Mrs. Mai, siding with her like that. None of them are any good!"
Just after Zhang Laosan finished speaking, a slight noise came from outside the courtyard. The people inside exchanged glances and simultaneously suspected it was someone from the village coming over again.
Everyone tensed up, not daring to move for a while. As there was no further activity outside, Zhang Gouzi’s wife shouted loudly, "Who is it? What bastard is it?"
However, just as her voice faded, the door was kicked open with a "bang", and it slammed heavily against the wall and rebounded.
Everyone sitting inside was startled and immediately stood up, anxiously looking towards the door.
Then, they saw two figures appear at the entrance, it was Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi, looking displeased, each holding a short stick in their hands.
Seeing that it was two women, the Zhang Family’s people relaxed a bit. After all, they had two grown men and three wives; these two coming to their doorstep was like walking into a lion’s den.
Zhang Gouzi’s wife, suddenly regaining her courage, stepped forward and scolded, "You two bitches, you kicked our door. Pay for it, or don’t even think about settling this matter without RMB 100,000."
Since these two clearly had money, and there were neither the village chief nor other meddling villagers around today, they wouldn’t let the two leave until they got paid. Stealthily, Zhang Gouzi’s wife was even feeling a bit gleeful.
Wan Chu’er cast a cold glance at her, frightening Zhang Gouzi’s wife, who wanted to say more but was suddenly sent flying with a kick from Wan Chu’er, crashing straight into Zhang Laoer, and the two fell to the ground together.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Zhang Gouzi’s wife groaned in pain, holding her chest, with Zhang Laoer beneath her, both in pain and anger, having been physically attacked by a woman.
Why come and hit without saying anything!
He shoved his sister-in-law off and stood up, shouting at his bewildered brother and sister-in-law, "What are you waiting for? We are being attacked in our own home! Has the Zhang Family ever been so humiliated as to let two women challenge us ? Let’s give these two bitches a lesson today."
The Zhang Family snapped into action and charged towards Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi, all claws and teeth.
Mai Qiqi stepped back two steps, making room for Wan Chu’er.
Wan Chu’er remained calm and composed, her expression unchanged, holding the sticks in her hands. She kicked Zhang Laoer’s wife who was at the front, then quickly landed the sticks on Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan, sending all three to the ground in pain. Zhang Laosan’s wife barely managed to stand still, quickly withdrawing her own feet and hands.
"You, what do you think you’re doing? By what right do you come to our home to assault us!"
