Chapter 35: Let Your Mouth Run Wild
Bai Erniu stood by, initially stunned, then approached.
Although Zhang was not particularly likable, she was after all his wife. Su Mulan, this widow, without saying a word, slapped someone in front of him, which made him lose face completely.
“You stay out of this,” Bai Kangyuan reached out to stop him. “Your wife runs her mouth all day long outside, spreading rumors so casually this time. Luckily, nothing serious happened. If it did, not only could I not tolerate it, but our village wouldn’t either!”
“Let the Shitang family vent their anger, and this matter will pass. Otherwise, if the Su causes any trouble in the future, I won’t intervene.”
Bai Erniu hesitated immediately.
Although Su Mulan wasn’t a good person, her recent change in attitude had started to improve others’ impressions of her. More importantly, she was Bai Shitang’s wife, and the Shitang family had a good reputation in the village. Many families owed them favors.
Moreover, Bai Kangyuan was the village head, and besides not wanting to offend him, many of Bai Erniu’s daily tasks were taken because of Bai Kangyuan’s influence. If he angered Bai Kangyuan…
At this moment, it was quite apparent that Bai Kangyuan, along with the people gathered in the courtyard, were clearly backing up Su Mulan. Zhang’s foul mouth had indeed caused trouble on numerous occasions before today’s incident, and if she isn’t taught a lesson today, she’ll continue stirring up trouble in the future.
After pondering for a while, Bai Erniu took two steps back and called for the three children in the courtyard to go back inside the house.
Seeing this, Su Mulan’s confidence grew a bit stronger.
*Pa!*”
Another slap followed, this time with Su Mulan using her left hand to strike Zhang’s right cheek. It left the right side swollen and marked with a clear palm print, perfectly symmetrical to the one on the left.
These two slaps stunned Zhang and infuriated her. She spat on the ground and rushed towards Su Mulan, cursing angrily, ‘You bitch, how dare you hit me!’
Zhang was fat and physically larger than Su Mulan, and when she attacked, her face muscles shook vigorously. Her hands aimed towards Su Mulan’s face, causing those nearby to sweat nervously.
Subconsciously, Bai Kangyuan was inclined to step in and intervene to prevent Su Mulan from suffering a major setback.
Before he could intervene, Su Mulan calmly rolled up her sleeves in another layer. Without waiting for Zhang to make a move, Su Mulan acted decisively. She grabbed Zhang’s hair and simultaneously delivered a heavy punch to her stomach.
Zhang instantly felt pain, broke out in cold sweat, and curled up like a shrimp in agony.
Su Mulan swiftly followed up with a sweeping leg kick, causing Zhang to collapse like a sandbag, unable to stand up.
Su Mulan took advantage of the situation and straddled Zhang. With both hands swinging, she delivered several blows while scolding angrily, “You gossip and stir up trouble, unjustly smearing others for no reason, spouting nonsense everywhere. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t understand why your actions have consequences!”
Su Mulan’s movements were lightning-fast. Others barely blinked before witnessing Su Mulan decisively overpowering Zhang.
Tsk, Su Mulan may look slender, but she’s much fiercer in a fight compared to Zhang.
Look at her stance, her strikes are precise and ruthless…
And look at Zhang now, not only does she lack the strength to retaliate, her face might swell up like a pig’s head.
So, don’t gossip and stir up trouble behind people’s backs for no reason, especially not around someone like Su Mulan. Otherwise, you’re just asking for trouble for yourself.
