Chapter 34: Dare You Hit Me
“Thank you, Uncle Village head,” Su Mulan expressed her gratitude.
Instructing Bai Lixia, Bai Zhuye, and Bai Midou to take care of Bai Shuiliu, Su Mulan strode purposefully towards Zhang’s house.
Those who had initially intended to assist or spectate, upon seeing Su Mulan’s fierce demeanor as if she was ready for a fight, hurriedly followed to see what would happen.
For a moment, nearly half the village marched towards Zhang’s house.
“Lixia, you and Midou go and watch. If anything happens, remember to protect Mom and don’t let her suffer,” Bai Shuiliu supported Bai Zhuye and hastily said, “I’m fine here. Zhuye will help me move back home.”
Feeling guilty for misunderstanding Su Mulan, Bai Lixia and Bai Midou quickly hurried towards Zhang’s house. Letting Bai Zhuye assist Bai Shuiliu.
Meanwhile, Su Mulan and Bai Kangyuan arrived at Zhang’s house ahead of them.
Zhang was in the yard, serving food to her three children.
Dumplings, although vegetarian, were filled with chives, eggs, and fried tofu, emitting a delightful fragrance.
It’s better off at her own home. Unlike Su Mulan, making her life miserable, she deserves it! Still pretending that she already changed, but like they say, a leopard can’t change its spots. She’s just waiting for trouble at home.
The more Zhang thought about it, the happier she felt. Holding the bowl, she stuffed the fragrant dumplings into her mouth. Before she could even chew, she heard the noisy commotion outside. When she looked up, she saw Su Mulan and Bai Kangyuan approaching.
Both of them were furious.
Su Mulan’s anger, Zhang naturally understood. She wasn’t afraid, but beside her was Bai Kangyuan…
Some of Bai Erniu’s work outside was done by Bai Kangyuan. If she offended him, the family would earn less money. Zhang knew which was more important.
“Uncle Village head, why have you come?” Zhang set down the bowl in her hand, smiling ingratiatingly, completely ignoring Su Mulan beside him.
“Why have I come? Don’t you know?”
Bai Kangyuan pointed at Zhang’s nose and scolded, “What nonsense were you talking to Lixia just now, fabricating things randomly? Afraid that others might have a comfortable life?”
“Village head, I was just joking,” Zhang narrowed her already small eyes and looked at Su Mulan, “It’s just joking with kids, isn’t it common? Is it necessary for you to make such a big fuss with the village head?”
“You…” Bai Kangyuan was instantly infuriated.
Zhang, this person, had real issues in her head and a very sharp tongue. She could turn black into white!
Was this a joking matter? This was instigating trouble, playing with people’s lives!
The rabbit will bite when it’s desperate. Bai Shuiliu’s siblings have such a good relationship. Previously, no matter how Su Mulan scolded them, as long as the four were together, everything was fine. But if Bai Shuiliu were to be sold, who knows what the remaining three would do?
*Pa!*
Su Mulan saw Zhang looking like a piece of meat ready to be cut, and she couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore. She directly reached out and slapped her.
The strike was precise and powerful, making Zhang see stars and leaving her stunned.
After coming to her senses, Zhang held her swollen and painful cheek, glaring angrily at Su Mulan, “How dare you hit me…”
