Chapter 170: Aunt Qiao, Did You Just Beat Someone?

He learned that Qiao Sheng was going back.

Lan Yue Niang asked from beside, "Lianhua, do you know who did this?"

Qiao Sheng nodded.

Qiao Hushui spoke up and asked her, "Did your second aunt do it?"

Qiao Sheng shook his head.

She didn't hide it from them; she told them what had happened before.

Lan Yue Niang's hand clenched: "That Hu Cuicui! How can she be like this? They overstepped first, and she still holds a grudge against you! I'm pregnant now, otherwise I would have to sit down and reason with her properly."

If it were originally.

She must be turning big matters into small ones, and small matters into nothing.

Now having gone through so many things.

She knows that tolerance is useless.

Hearing that, Qiao Sheng looked at Lan Yue Niang and said, "Mother, I'm already very pleased that you think like this. But I can handle this myself, so you all need not worry."

This afternoon she took Xiao Shitou and the others back to the village, asking Qiao Xuehua and the others to help watch over them.

She went alone to ask the villagers.

After a round of questioning.

Isn't it that the rumor was spread by Hu Cuicui?

Qiao Sheng immediately went to the Qiao household to find Hu Cuicui, and once he caught her, gave her a beating.

Gao Shi, seeing Qiao Sheng beating continuously, dared not step forward to pull him away, only stood on the side shouting, "Qiao Lianhua, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone? Let go of your second aunt immediately!"

"Second aunt, does she deserve it?"

Qiao Sheng landed a few more punches on Hu Cuicui.

Hu Cuicui's wailing scream sent a chill through the onlookers.

They thought.

Never provoke Qiao Sheng again.

She beats people without regard for timing; she hits whenever she feels like it.

Qiao Shanshui and the others returned from the field and happened to see Qiao Sheng leaving their house; before they could say a word to him, he had already left.

Seeing their own daughter‑in‑law beaten black‑and‑blue, not to mention her front tooth knocked out.

Qiao Heshui immediately confronted Qiao Hushui and the others, saying, "Third brother, third sister‑in‑law, how can you discipline your daughter, letting her disrespect elders and treat my daughter‑in‑law like this!"

"Elder, does Hu Cuicui deserve it? Do you know what your daughter‑in‑law has been doing in the village? She slanders Lianhua; my Lianhua hasn't even had a child, yet she is being called a woman who bore several illegitimate children."

"She got beaten like this; it's all her own fault!"

Lan Yue Niang, with her five‑month‑pregnant belly, retorted.

Qiao Heshui pressed his lips together and said, "Even so, your Lianhua shouldn't be treated like that…"

"Yes, yes, shouldn't resort to violence, should report to the authorities."

Lan Yue Niang went on, following Qiao Heshui's words.

"You…"

Qiao Heshui, angry, didn't know what else to say.

Qiao Hushui said from the side, "Second brother, if you have time, keep a closer eye on your daughter‑in‑law; otherwise, if she harms the prospects of your two sons, they will definitely blame you later."

He wasn't truly concerned for Qiao Heshui's two sons; he was afraid his own daughter‑in‑law would get too angry and hurt him and the child in her womb.

Qiao Heshui tightened his grip and left without looking back.

Not long after he left, Qiao Xuehua, Qiao Lanhua, and Qiao Lihua returned.

Qiao Xuehua and the others felt no sympathy for Hu Cuicui; they thought she got what she deserved.

If it weren't for their own mother calling them back to the courtyard where they lived.

Qiao Xuehua was about to mock Hu Cuicui a few times, to make her babble and spout nonsense; now she knows how formidable her elder sister is, right?

Mountain God Temple.

After Qiao Xuehua and the others left, Shi Jin sized up the returning Qiao Sheng and said, "Aunt Qiao, did you just go and beat someone?"
