After the Public Security officers left, Wang Chunhua and Lin Qiaofeng still wanted to make a scene outside the Zhao family’s house, but the village chief started driving them away.
“Wang Chunhua, why aren’t you hurrying to the hospital? If you keep scratching like that, will your face still be worth looking at?”
Even Lin Dajun had never seen such a fierce old woman. She was already in this condition and still wanted to bully others.
Seeing that the village chief was angry, Wang Chunhua didn’t dare continue causing trouble.
She could only spit viciously in Lin Qiaoyun’s direction before leaving and having Lin Youde take her to the hospital.
Watching Wang Chunhua still able to run and jump around, Lin Qiaoyun felt that she had used the wrong medicine.
She should have given the old woman a laxative instead and made her suffer from diarrhea until she couldn’t even leave the house.
But it didn’t matter.
She had plenty of time.
She could play with them slowly.
Looking at Wang Chunhua’s retreating figure, Lin Qiaoyun revealed a devilish smile.
After Wang Chunhua left, Lin Qiaofeng still refused to go away.
She kept verbally attacking Lin Qiaoyun and demanding that she hand over the admission notice.
Lin Qiaoyun couldn’t do anything to the old one, but this younger one had delivered herself right to her door.
If she didn’t beat her into a pig’s head, then Lin Qiaofeng wouldn’t know why flowers were so red.
When Lin Qiaofeng called her a little bitch yet again, Lin Qiaoyun charged forward.
She grabbed Lin Qiaofeng by the hair and yanked hard.
Lin Qiaofeng was instantly pinned to the ground and couldn’t move.
Smack!
“Who gave you the courage to keep trying to steal my admission notice over and over again?”
Smack!
“You really think I’m afraid of you?”
Smack!
“Why can’t you remember?”
“I told you not to threaten me!”
Smack! Smack!
Lin Qiaoyun slapped her left and right without holding back.
After only a few hits, Lin Qiaofeng’s face had swollen into a pig’s head.
“Let me go, you little bitch! I won’t let you off!”
Bang!
Lin Qiaoyun kicked out with all her strength and sent Lin Qiaofeng flying straight out of the Zhao family’s courtyard.
Thud!
Lin Qiaofeng rolled onto the road and almost ended up in the drainage ditch.
“Get lost. If you don’t leave now, I’ll shave your head bald.”
Lin Qiaofeng was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet and ran.
The villagers watching the excitement couldn’t help laughing.
She was exactly the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
“Qiaoyun, aren’t you afraid your grandmother will come looking for trouble after beating your cousin like that? You’d better be careful.”
“Not afraid. They say that once a daughter is married, she’s like water that’s been poured out. If anyone’s going to discipline me, it should be the Zhao family. As for my grandmother, she can discipline her own granddaughter.”
“Lin Qiaoyun, just because you’re the Zhao family’s daughter-in-law doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want under the Zhao family’s name and bring shame to them.”
The speaker was a young woman from the village, around twenty years old.
Lin Qiaoyun remembered that her name seemed to be Wang Meifeng.
“Hmph. I can do whatever I like. My father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t care, so why do you? You’re worrying about things that have nothing to do with you.”
“You…”
“What about me? Hurry up and leave. Why are you hanging around my house?”
“Lin Qiaoyun, you’re a shrew!”
“Whether I’m a shrew or not is none of your business. You’re sticking your nose into things that don’t concern you. That’s ridiculous. Take a look at who you are first.”
“Hmph…”
Bang!
Lin Qiaoyun slammed the door shut.
Then she pulled her parents and her parents-in-law back into the house.
Once the main people involved were gone, the villagers no longer had anything to watch and gradually left the Zhao family’s courtyard.
As expected, it wouldn’t be long before rumors spread throughout Guyun Village that Lin Qiaoyun was a thief.
Xu Nian’en said worriedly, “Yun’er, your grandmother won’t be seriously hurt, will she?”
Just thinking about her mother-in-law’s terrifying face made Xu Nian’en afraid. She couldn’t help tightly holding her daughter’s hand.
“Wife, don’t be afraid. We didn’t do anything. They can’t just force the blame onto us.”
“That’s right, Mom. Don’t worry. Their family’s problems have nothing to do with us anymore.”
Father Zhao also comforted her.
“In-law, don’t be afraid. They wouldn’t dare do anything to people from the Zhao family.”
Xu Nian’en sighed.
“I’m just worried they’ll keep coming to the Zhao family and making trouble.”
“Mom, they won’t come again.”
Lin Qiaoyun had already made up her mind.
Tonight, she would knock the entire Lin family down and make them stay in bed for at least a month.
…
After Lin Qiaofeng ran home, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.
She had to find a way to get Lin Qiaoyun’s admission notice.
Even if she couldn’t get it, she would destroy it.
She absolutely would not allow Lin Qiaoyun to attend high school.
Some people’s hearts were simply that vicious.
If they couldn’t have something themselves, they wanted to destroy it.
Meanwhile, after Wang Chunhua arrived at the hospital, the itching on her face and hands disappeared before long.
However, her face was ruined.
Her old face had never been attractive to begin with, but now it was covered with pits and scars, making it look even more frightening.
The same was true for her hands.
When she stretched them out, they looked like a ghost’s claws.
“Mom, our family doesn’t have any money left now. How are we supposed to live from now on?”
Lin Youde was also broke.
His private savings had all been confiscated by his wife.
The money used to pay for his mother’s treatment had come from a secret pocket he had sewn into his underwear.
“Don’t worry. I have a way. If necessary, we’ll ask your second brother for money.”
“Take me to the post office later. I need to mail a letter.”
“Okay.”
Lin Youde took Wang Chunhua to the post office.
He watched as she wrote a letter and mailed it.
Only then did he realize that his mother was actually literate.
It really was strange.
If his mother could read and write, how had she ended up marrying his father?
Could it be…
Lin Youde’s thoughts wandered somewhere they shouldn’t have.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
Then he convinced himself that it probably wasn’t true.
Even so, he remained uneasy.
Wang Chunhua had no idea that simply mailing a letter to ask for money had frightened her eldest son so badly that he was now wondering whether she might be a spy.
“Boss, let’s go home. Don’t worry. Our family will have money.”
Seeing his troubled expression, Wang Chunhua assumed he was worried about the family’s future.
Lin Youde absentmindedly led Wang Chunhua home.
Aside from her disfigured face, Wang Chunhua was still energetic and lively.
But after returning home, Lin Youde collapsed onto the bed and couldn’t get up.
He actually became sick.
It really wasn’t entirely his fault.
In those days, spies were everywhere.
Village officials frequently educated people on how to identify spies and guard against infiltration.
The village chief and secretary of Guyun Village were especially enthusiastic about promoting this kind of awareness.
Of course, Lin Qiaoyun knew nothing about any of this.
…
After dinner that evening, she went to bed early.
At one o’clock in the morning, she quietly got up again.
The village patrol team had not yet been organized.
Tonight was the perfect opportunity.
She ran to the Lin family home.
Just like the night before, she drugged the entire family until they lost consciousness.
Then she dragged every one of them into the courtyard.
Lin Qiaofeng received special treatment.
Lin Qiaoyun threw her directly into the latrine pit.
After that, she gave all of them another medicine.
Twelve hours later, they would collectively start suffering from diarrhea.
After finishing everything, she ran off.
However, while passing through the small woods near the village, she overheard something she definitely shouldn’t have heard.
Originally, she had simply been curious about how people “fought a wild battle” and wanted to secretly take a look.
But she never expected that while enjoying the gossip…
The gossip would end up involving herself.
