Wang Zhaodi carried the yoke on her shoulders.
Inside were baskets full of cow dung, emitting a soul-stirring odor.
Foul stench!!
Lin Tang originally thought that seeing Wang Zhaodi again, she would fly into a rage, wish she could kill her, and question her...
She had guessed countless scenarios, but the only one she didn't expect was calmness.
Yes, calmness.
A calmness where her heart lake had no ripples...
Hate is an emotion as heavy as a mountain; some people simply aren't worthy of it.
Wang Zhaodi accidentally killed her, and she, by misfortune, saw a different world.
She wouldn't kill Wang Zhaodi because she didn't want to dirty her hands.
However, if Wang Zhaodi dared to extend her claws again, she wouldn't hesitate to fight back.
Lin Tang ultimately underestimated Wang Zhaodi's thick-skinned nature.
Some people never look for problems within themselves.
"Lin Tang, you're satisfied now that you've ruined me like this?" Wang Zhaodi fiercely gripped the yoke on her shoulder, her Expression twisted.
Lin Tang smiled faintly.
She swept her gaze over Wang Zhaodi from top to bottom as if watching a good show.
She focused on the cow dung stuck to her, shook her head, and said with a smile:
"Mediocre. Not entirely satisfied. If you were a bit more miserable, I would be more satisfied."
Getting covered in filth to repay a life, to repay her head that was split open? She must be dreaming.
Wang Zhaodi was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting Lin Tang to dare to mock her.
She paused for a moment.
Then, she glanced around.
Once she realized there was no one nearby, her gaze became somewhat malicious.
A sinister smile hung on Wang Zhaodi's lips.
With a 'clatter,' she put down the yoke she was carrying.
She strode forward, intending to beat Lin Tang up.
"You little slut, you vixen! If I don't beat you until you beg for mercy today, my name isn't Wang Zhaodi."
As she spoke, she raised her dirty, dog-chewed-looking fingernails and lunged toward Lin Tang's face.
Lin Tang smelled the dizzying odor coming from her, and her head throbbed.
The thought of slapping her a couple of times instantly vanished.
So, her short legs swiftly and cleanly extended.
She kicked Wang Zhaodi in the stomach.
She held back her strength, using only about five parts of it.
But, she still kicked the person flying.
Only hearing a 'bang'—
Wang Zhaodi's body flew a distance and crashed right into the cow dung she had worked hard to collect.
Her body and face were smeared with dung, as if she had fallen into a dung pit.
"Aaaah..." Wang Zhaodi shrieked.
When she saw herself covered in cow dung, she went even crazier.
She glared hatefully at Lin Tang, gritting her teeth as she rolled around in the cow dung.
Then, she stood up and charged straight toward Lin Tang.
Resolved to share the cow dung with her.
Lin Tang looked surprised and quickly dodged, not forgetting to say:
"Oh my, Wang Zhaodi, you're too vicious! If you can't beat me, you want to stink me to death? You really dare to think that."
How disgusting, doesn't she even notice the smell herself?
Wang Zhaodi's face flushed red with anger, she stopped her feet, her eyes filled with malice.
"Lin Tang, shut up! Who is responsible for me being this smelly?
You just rely on the Brigade Leader being your Uncle to bully me. You stop right there.
Even if I have to carry cow dung for another year, I will kill you today."
When Lin Tang heard her dare to throw dirty water onto her Family, her eyes instantly turned cold.
The small stone she was holding turned to dust.
She... really wanted to crush the lump on Wang Zhaodi's neck.
So, when Wang Zhaodi rushed forward again like she was delivering herself up, Lin Tang didn't dodge anymore.
Instead... she took off her shoe.
Looking eager to try.
She wondered what the result would be if the sole of this home-stitched, thousand-layer cloth shoe landed on Wang Zhaodi's pancake face ten feet away.
However—
Before Lin Tang could make a move, Li Xiuli seemed to arrive in an instant.
She stood in front of her Daughter.
Her face was full of anger.
She slapped Wang Zhaodi's face twice.
"Wang Zhaodi, you're courting death! Why is this black-hearted girl bullying my Tangtang again?
Did my Daughter dig up your family's ancestral grave, or what did she do to you?"
"I'm telling you, if you have a grievance with your mother Wu Chunhua, tell her to come find me herself. Stop targeting my Daughter every day."
"Tangtang has seven older brothers above her; they aren't just for show. Your Wang family better consider carefully whether she is someone you can bully.
If I see you bullying my Daughter again, see if Old Mother here won't chop off your hands..."
Ever since Wang Zhaodi split open her Daughter's head, Li Xiuli had been holding in her anger.
When she heard the villagers say Tangtang was bullied by Wang Zhaodi again, she ran over like a flash.
Seeing Tangtang 'scared silly,'
she quickly pulled her Daughter aside and slapped Wang Zhaodi's big face 'slap, slap...' twice.
Wang Zhaodi was stunned by the beating.
Her head was shaking left and right while being hit; her mind was completely dazed.
When she came to her senses, she threw herself onto the ground and started wailing dramatically.
"Oh my heavens, oh my heavens! The Lin Family is trying to kill someone!
Why don't you send down lightning to strike these heartless people?
These people are bullying me, a young girl, why don't you open your eyes and look?
Father! Mother! You are not here, and the Lin family is bullying your Daughter.
The villagers are watching but not intervening; are their hearts made of iron..."
After a performance of singing, reciting, acting, crying, and shouting.
She sat on the ground, patting the ground, exactly like a shrew in the village.
The villagers who had just run over to watch the excitement: "..." Is this Wang Zhaodi so good at throwing tantrums?
"Zhaodi, get up quickly. You're a young girl, what are you doing lying on the ground? Can't you talk things over properly..." said an Auntie.
After she finished speaking, another person spoke up: "Yes, Zhaodi, what happened to your body? How did you get like this?"
Carrying dung and having it spill onto herself—that was something else.
Even if it spilled, the crucial point was that she was rolling around on the ground...
Did she think it wasn't disgusting enough?
Although people in the countryside aren't overly particular, it shouldn't be like this, right?
This Wang Zhaodi, when relatives look for a Wife for their sons in the future, they definitely shouldn't look for someone like her.
Wang Zhaodi didn't know that the impression the village Aunties had of her had plummeted; she was still crying out her grievances.
"The Lin Family is bullying me! Lin Tang's mother slapped my face, my face hurts so much.
You must compensate me! If you don't pay ten yuan, don't even think about leaving!"
When the villagers heard her making such an outrageous demand, the way they looked at her changed.
They hadn't realized this Wang Zhaodi was black-hearted!
There wasn't even a noticeable mark on her face, yet she wanted ten yuan in compensation.
This is a staged accident, right? Right.
Li Xiuli spat disdainfully.
"Forget ten yuan, we won't give you even a dime. I've never seen such a shameless young girl as you."
After Li Xiuli finished speaking, Wang Zhaodi looked at the surrounding villagers who had gathered to watch.
"Uncle, Aunties, you all saw it. This Lin Family is so domineering. They bullied me like this right in front of you. Before you arrived, they bullied me even worse..."
As soon as she said this, some of the less clear-headed people in the Production Brigade looked at the Lin family with suspicion.
Lin Tang's eyes flickered slightly as she walked into the crowd's line of sight.
