Tian Juhua was blocked in the yard and not allowed inside the room. Feeling a bit anxious at this moment, she had been unable to sit still at home ever since she heard those old women discussing yesterday that the little fool had recovered.
Standing in the yard, she shouted, “Xiaoya, I’m your second aunt! Came to see you with your second uncle!”
Tong Xiaoya and Lei Yihong walked out of the room.
Lei Wanqiang also hurriedly followed out.
Lei Yihong walked in front, stopping right near Tian Juhua. “What business do you have?”
Tian Juhua gave a self-deprecating laugh, “I heard Xiaoqian got better, so her second uncle and I…”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lei Yihong. “She hasn’t recovered yet. If you have anything to say, say it to me.”
As he spoke, he even took a step forward, as if attempting to drive them away.
Tian Juhua subconsciously gave him a push. “Didn’t everyone say she’s better… Oh my goodness, I, I didn’t mean to…”
She swore she had only given a light push, so why did this guy fall to the ground like a delicate flower!
Before she could react, she felt a figure streak over, followed immediately by a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She was kicked back several steps by a single kick and landed flat on her buttocks on the ground.
“I dare you to hit my man!”
Tong Xiaoqian walked over, grabbed her by the hair with one hand, and slapped her face with the other.
Everything happened so fast that everyone was left dumbfounded.
Only after receiving the slap did Tian Juhua clearly see that the person who hit her was that little fool who used to tremble whenever she saw her. She hurriedly covered her face and yelled, “Xiaoya, I am your second aunt!”
As if having heard nothing, the person opposite delivered another slap, making her instantly feel her vision go black.
Seeing their son fall to the ground with both eyes closed, the Lei couple instantly flew into a rage.
“Son!” Terrified to the point their souls almost flew away, Wang Yumei and Lei Wanqiang hurriedly went over to support their son.
Suddenly seeing their son open his eyes and wink at them, they instantly understood in their hearts.
Turns out this young couple was putting on a setup!
Wang Yumei was the first to react. Having long found this family disagreeable, the opportunity had finally arrived!
Wailing at the top of her lungs, she charged over, shoved Tong Xiaoqian aside with one hand, and reached out with both hands to claw and scratch furiously.
Never mind that the Lei couple were known as old good-natured folks in the village, but they were fiercely protective of their young; their child was their bottom line.
Tong Tieshan and his son Tong Dahai were also dumbfounded—this was freaking about to get pinned on them!
Wouldn’t this sickly guy of the Lei family extort them to death?
Over on the other side, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo had already clawed Tian Juhua to the point where she almost truly looked like a shredded chrysanthemum.
The Tong father and son wanted to run, but Lei Wanqiang, seeing his wife charge in, felt that as a man he couldn’t wimp out either. Grabbing a nearby firewood stick, he swung it down. “Bullying our family for having no one around, huh? Hitting my son!”
Scared out of his wits, Tong Tieshan dodged frantically. “In-law, a misunderstanding, mis… Ow!”
A sharp, severe pain suddenly shot through his buttocks as a yellow dog bit down firmly on his buttocks without letting go, glaring at him viciously.
Immediately after, a stick landed hard on his arm.
The stick then suddenly turned toward Tong Dahai, who hurriedly used his arm to block the stick. “Uncle, Uncle! It really is a misunderstanding… Oh my goodness!”
Wangcai had already released Tong Tieshan by now and bit down on his ankle in one gulp.
The yard was thrown into utter chaos.
Seeing her husband handling a two-on-one situation, Wang Yumei left Tian Juhua entirely to her daughter-in-law and joined the other battlefield.
Lei Yihong temporarily claimed his death scene, but he still had to continue playing dead. Squinting his eyes to watch, he thought that woman was far too fierce—when she first transmigrated that day, she had probably shown him mercy.
Hearing how lively the neighboring yard was, Auntie Liu next door ran out to take a look. The Lei family’s yard gate was wide open, and inside, a fight was already in total disarray.
She hurriedly ran to the village chief’s house.
Neighbors also gathered in greater and greater numbers.
Tian Juhua howled, “I’m your second aunt, if you hit me you will…”
She felt a burst of sour pain at the joint of her jaw, followed immediately by it acting up like it was malfunctioning. With her mouth half-open, she could neither close it nor shut it, only able to emit “wu-wu” sounds from her throat.
Pinch her chin with one hand, Tong Xiaoqian patted her cheek with the other, leaning close to her ear to whisper in a low voice, “In a little bit I’m going to repossess the house. Leave behind every single item you took from the Lei family.”
Looking at Tian Juhua, she smiled again. “Don’t forget I’m a fool; killing someone doesn’t pay with a life!”
Tian Juhua looked at her in horror—what fool, this was simply a lunatic!
Yet she actually believed these words completely.
Everyone said fools and lunatics didn’t break the law when killing people, and she couldn’t tell whether this little fool was actually cured or fake cured.
She grunted and hummed through her mouth, but unable to close her lips, what she said was completely illegible.
When Zhang Changhe stepped into the yard, his mouth twitched—it was far too gruesome. Tian Juhua’s hair was a disheveled mess, her face red and swollen, covered in streak after streak of scratches, and the clothes on her body were torn.
Tong Tieshan and his son Tong Dahai were also huddled together, trembling violently, their clothes torn as well under the joint attack of the Lei couple and a dog.
He hurriedly shouted, “Stop, everyone stop!”
The old village doctor also ran in from outside the yard, squatting down to feel Lei Yihong’s pulse.
The moment Tian Juhua saw Zhang Changhe, it was like seeing a savior. She grunted frantically wanting to say something, but aside from drool constantly flowing down, she couldn’t speak at all.
Anxious to the point that tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing Zhang Changhe, Tong Tieshan threw himself over. “Village Chief, we just wanted to come see Xiaoya today, but the moment we stepped through the door, we got beaten up by their whole family…”
“Village Chief, they were the ones who took action first! If anything happens to my son, I won’t live either!” Wang Yumei began to cry; she had genuinely been terrified just now.
Tong Tieshan hurriedly explained, “No, no, it’s a misunderstanding! The children’s mother only gave him a gentle push…”
Zhang Changhe’s eyes widened. “He just took a trip to death’s door; even dogs have to walk around him! How dare anyone from your family give him a push?!”
Even those old women in the village warned their own children to stay far away whenever they saw the Lei family’s son, fearing touching him would stick them with trouble.
Who knew if he would relapse in the future?
Tong Xiaoqian took a step forward and spoke up: “Let’s decide whether this matter is going to be handled officially or privately!”
“If it’s handled officially, we report it to the police and let the public security handle it. They barged into my home to cause trouble and even pushed down my husband. If anything happens to him, Tian Juhua will have to bear legal responsibility, plus an additional charge of forcibly occupying a private residence.”
“If it’s handled privately, we go to the hospital for an examination. My husband’s condition requires going to a big hospital in the provincial capital. During this period, travel expenses, accommodation fees, as well as necessary examinations, medical fees, hospitalization fees, and loss of working time fees cannot be missed by a single cent.”
The hearts of the three Tong family members sank—it was over, they were truly being extorted!
The old village doctor beside them suddenly let out a sigh. “The Lei family boy’s condition isn’t looking good. Better go to the hospital for an examination; I can’t treat this.”
Limping and hobbling, Tian Juhua moved in front of him, pointing at her mouth while grunting frantically. The old village doctor observed for a while, touched her jaw, held her head, and with a “crack” sound, Tian Juhua let out another howl.
Everyone heard the old village doctor calmly extend his hand and utter two words: “Five yuan!”
Tian Juhua shrieked, “Just like that and it costs five yuan?!”
With her jaw fixed, her speech was still a bit slurred, and her mouth was still swollen.
The old village doctor waved his hand, “Hey, don’t shout. If you shout too hard and it dislocates again, it’ll cost another five yuan.”
Tian Juhua closed her mouth immediately, pulling five yuan out of her pocket with deep heartache and slapping it into the village doctor’s hand.
The village doctor could not be offended; who could guarantee they would never get a headache or fever?
