Yang Ruxin could eat now, and everyone in the Yang Family relaxed. However, since it was still early, they didn’t go to sleep. Instead, they sat together talking and telling stories. Yang Ruxin brought out one of the four great classical novels to entertain everyone, and they listened enraptured.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, Yang Ruxin suddenly heard what sounded like a quarrel coming from the village.
"Could my senses really be that sharp?" Yang Ruxin wondered in surprise, but then quickly dismissed the idea. The village was at least three or four miles away; that would make her have supersonic hearing! She guessed it was just an auditory illusion.
But just as she rejected her own thought, Chai Qin, who had gone to escort Madam Duan ho, returned: "Madam, it seems there’s a fight in the village."
"Oh?" Yang Ruxin was montarily surprised.
"What’s going on?" Sanni was excited, "Who’s fighting?"
"How can you get so thrilled about a fight, like it’s a little celebration?" Dong Wenxiu gave her third daughter a disapproving look. "How are you going to get married in the future?"
"Aunt Wenxiu, ngng will definitely get married," Zhou Xiao quickly chid in.
Dong Wenxiu and those around her were taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhou Xiao blushed deeply.
Sanni shot Zhou Xiao a look, then urged Chai Qin again, "Co on, tell us, who’s fighting?"
"I don’t know whose house it is. It’s a household on the west side of Xiaobudong Village. It seems like the man of the house got caught fooling around with a woman at ho when the wife ca back unexpectedly. A fight broke out...," Chai Qin shrugged, "But that woman seed quite defiant, directly arguing with the wife. And it seems the man even hit his own wife..."
Everyone couldn’t help but exchange glances. After the incident with Widow Lu in the past, everyone had been quite self-disciplined. Who knew another bad apple would show up.
"The west side of Xiaobudong Village? Isn’t that the Yang Family’s Daju’s house?" Dong Wenxiu suddenly exclaid, "That man Wang Liuzhi is a husband who married into the family."
"Wang Liuzhi?" Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, "I know this person. Uncle Zhong ntioned before; he was sneaky and lazy in construction work, so he got fired." She paused, "But I’m really curious who that fierce mistress is."
"I think her na is Wang Baozhu," Chai Qin added.
"Wang Baozhu?" Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Now I understand."
"That woman..." Dong Wenxiu sighed, "Forget it, it’s none of our business. That woman is no good, and neither is her whole family."
"Exactly, let’s not listen to such things. Everyone should go to sleep, it’s easy to get influenced negatively," Yang Ruxin stood up, "I have a baby in my belly; I shouldn’t be hearing such nonsense."
Everyone agreed, so they all got up and dispersed.
But even though they didn’t want to get involved in ssy affairs, those matters still ca knocking at their door.
Yang Ruxin had just lain down not long when soone knocked on the door outside.
"Madam, the village head is here, and he brought soone covered in blood," Chai Qin had to co in and report.
Yang Ruxin had already gotten dressed as the other spoke; if it weren’t serious, the village head wouldn’t have co to see her this late.
"Xinxin, there’s no other option. Li Yi went to the county today, and with this person hurt so badly, we can only co to you," The village head looked anxiously at Yang Ruxin, "Please take a look at her."
