Xiaojun stood nearby watching. She still didn’t dare hit her father herself, but watching her mother beat him gave her a secret sense of satisfaction.
Every time she and her older sister were bullied by Yaowen and Yaowu, only their mother ever defended them.
Wang Fuyuan had never once stood on their side. All he ever did was tell them to give in to their “younger brothers,” or even beat them himself.
Qin Suian used all her strength, swinging the bamboo broom viciously at Wang Fuyuan.
After recovering a little, Wang Fuyuan tried to get up, but the moment he rose slightly, Qin Suian kicked him back down again—specifically targeting his most vulnerable area.
“Qin Suian, I already agreed to divorce! Why are you still acting crazy?” Wang Fuyuan struggled awkwardly, one moment shielding his head, the next protecting himself below.
He couldn’t understand the unusually fierce and savage Qin Suian today.
Normally, Qin Suian would argue back or even fight back a little, but never with this kind of desperate intensity.
Could she really be possessed?
“So beating people is called being crazy? Then doesn’t that mean you’ve been crazy every single day? Being crazy is great—being crazy gets you a divorce, being crazy gets your money back. I should’ve gone crazy much earlier.”
As Qin Suian beat him, she vented years of resentment.
Why hadn’t she gone crazy sooner?
She had truly been too stupid before!
The villagers watching all had different thoughts. Some were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, some were secretly stirred by it, while others were dissatisfied and thought it had gone too far.
One man went up to the brigade leader.
“Captain, aren’t you going to stop this? You’re just letting this lunatic Qin Suian beat someone? A wife beating her husband—are there no rules anymore?”
This man had some friendship with Wang Fuyuan and wanted to speak up for him.
A grown man being pinned down and beaten by a woman—it was too humiliating.
The brigade leader glanced at Wang San and inwardly rolled his eyes.
If you’ve got the guts, then you go stop her.
“This is their family business. If you want to interfere, go ahead yourself.”
Qin Suian had already made it clear: when she was beaten, nobody spoke up, nobody helped.
So what right did he have to stop her now?
As long as nobody died, that was enough. He was the brigade leader, not Wang Fuyuan’s father.
Even Wang Fuyuan’s actual father wasn’t interfering.
Wang San was silenced after being snapped at.
Why should he get involved?
Wang Fuyuan being useless had nothing to do with him.
So everyone continued standing around watching the excitement.
At that moment, Wang Fujiang and his son Wang Yaowen returned on bicycles.
Seeing crowds gathered inside and outside their house, they immediately sensed something was wrong and hurried people aside to get through.
“Fujiang’s back? Something big happened at your house! Qin Suian slashed your mother’s neck and wants to divorce your older brother!”
One gossip-loving villager deliberately exaggerated the story to sound more shocking.
Wang Fujiang’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly pushed through the crowd.
The moment he entered, he saw Qin Suian pressing Wang Fuyuan to the ground and beating him.
Jiang Yun stood nearby watching the show.
“Where’s Mom?” Wang Fujiang asked darkly as he pulled Jiang Yun aside.
Jiang Yun shrank back slightly. She was still somewhat afraid of Wang Fujiang.
“Mom’s resting in the room. Today Qin Suian suddenly went crazy, demanding to split the household and divorce. Big Brother refused, so Qin Suian held a knife to Mom’s neck and forced him to write divorce papers.”
Jiang Yun quickly explained everything that had happened.
“She also demanded three hundred seventy yuan, called the brigade leader over, got signatures and seals, and tomorrow they’re going to the county office to finalize it. And now she’s beating him too.”
Wang Fujiang frowned as he listened to the full story.
“Wasn’t today Xiaojun’s engagement day? How did things end up like this?”
“I’m telling you, the Lin family are frauds. That Lin Mao is an idiot, and it was his younger brother who came to arrange the marriage. So Qin Suian completely exploded. She even blamed Mom and me, saying we intentionally tried to marry Xiaojun off to a fool.”
Jiang Yun smacked her lips. Today really had been one hell of a show.
The moment Wang Fujiang heard about the Lin family situation, he understood why Qin Suian had exploded.
Qin Suian had always been hard-headed. This matter had touched her absolute bottom line.
Now that things had reached this point and Qin Suian was determined to leave, even Wang Fujiang couldn’t stop it.
Besides, since her heart had already left the Wang family, there was no point keeping her.
Just a woman. He wanted to see how she would survive outside after leaving the Wang family. The gossip alone would drown her.
And her natal family certainly wouldn’t support her wishes either.
The only annoying part was outsiders getting to laugh at them.
Judging from the brigade leader’s attitude, he clearly didn’t want to get involved either, so long as nobody died.
“Xiaojun, persuade your mother. Making such a scene—what kind of behavior is this? Do you still want to get married in the future?”
Wang Fujiang didn’t actually care about Wang Fuyuan’s situation. He just found the huge crowd watching annoying.
Xiaojun rolled her eyes internally.
That line again!
Was getting married the only thing anyone could think about when it came to her?
“Marriage, marriage, marriage! Marry my ass! Whoever brings up my future marriage again can test the knife in my hand!”
Xiaojun was about to go insane from hearing the word “marry” all day long.
Holding the cleaver with both hands, she viciously slashed through the air several times.
The crowd gasped.
Another one had gone crazy!
Even Wang Fujiang was startled and instinctively stepped back two paces.
Wang Yaowen had entered the courtyard a bit later while pushing his bicycle. Seeing Xiaojun wildly waving a knife around also startled him.
Xiaojun glared fiercely at Wang Yaowen.
Just because he was born male, every good thing in the family had gone to him.
And ever since childhood, he had constantly bullied her and her sister.
From now on, if he dared bully her again, she would use a knife too.
Seeing a mere little girl daring to glare at him like that, Wang Yaowen became furious and wanted to slap her.
But Wang Fujiang grabbed him.
With the situation already like this, did he really want to add fuel to the fire?
What an idiot with no brains!
Eventually, Qin Suian had beaten Wang Fuyuan to her satisfaction, and exhaustion finally set in. Only then did she stop.
At the very end, she grabbed the cleaver back from Xiaojun and brought it down viciously between Wang Fuyuan’s legs.
“AHHH!”
At the same time came Wang Fuyuan’s scream and the crowd’s horrified cries.
The strike scared Wang Fuyuan so badly that he instantly wet his pants.
“Qin Suian, you lunatic!”
Even Wang Fujiang was shocked. When he hurried over to look, he realized the blade had only struck right next to Wang Fuyuan’s crotch.
Still terrifying enough. Just a little higher, and Wang Fuyuan really would’ve lost the ability to father children forever.
“Come on, let’s go cook.”
After that single strike, the fire in Qin Suian’s heart was finally somewhat under control. She took Xiaojun into the kitchen, leaving everyone else staring at each other speechlessly.
This Qin Suian was truly ruthless.
She had scared the man so badly he peed himself. Who knew whether he’d even still function afterward?
The women secretly cheered inside.
The men silently felt chills down their spines.
The brigade leader also checked Wang Fuyuan. He was still breathing, and there was no blood below—he only looked miserable.
“Alright, alright, everyone go home and eat.”
As long as nobody died, it was fine. Though today’s humiliation had been truly spectacular.
With the entertainment over, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Holding his breath against the smell, Wang Fujiang helped Wang Fuyuan to his feet.
“Big Brother, are you alright?”
Without Qin Suian, the household labor would depend entirely on Wang Fuyuan from now on. He was still useful—they couldn’t afford for him to completely lose heart.
