Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Widow Wang had a good plan in mind, but the person standing in front of her looked like he was about to cry and die. She pushed and shoved him for a long time but couldn't get him into the courtyard.

"Why don't you let go of me? How can you treat your daughter-in-law like this? Do you want to be punished?"

Widow Wang had been struggling here for a long time. She had been exposed to the sun when she came here, and now she couldn't enter the yard. She was getting very angry, and sweat was dripping down her forehead.

She no longer controlled her voice, shouting to get in, and her hand that was pushing people around was threatening to slap Shi Yan in the face.

Shi Yan had already heard some noise coming from next door, and was wondering whether she should dodge the slap or take the loss by taking it.

In the end, Shi Yan chose a compromise, loosened her grip on the gate, and fell into the yard.

The Zhao family members who came later just happened to see Shi Yan being beaten to the ground by Widow Wang.

"Wang Qiuhong! Why did you come here? How dare you hit someone!"

Liu Cuimiao had long been fed up with Wang Qiuhong's behavior. Seeing her appear here today, she knew what she was planning. She rolled up her sleeves, walked up to Wang Qiuhong and slapped her in the face. The two of them started fighting in front of Shi Yan's courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay? Does it hurt? Let me help you sit over here for a while."

Zhao Ze was not worried at all that his mother was fighting with others. He walked around the two of them and entered the yard. The first thing he cared about was Shi Yan.

After helping the person to sit on the bench, Zhao Ze held up Shi Yan's face and looked left and right to make sure there was no injury. Instead, he found that the person in front of him had eyelashes as thick and curly as a small fan, a small and straight nose, which was both delicate and playful, and bright red lips... which were slightly open at the moment. Was she soft and sweet like those married men said?

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Shi Yan had already noticed that Zhao Ze's eyes were a little blurry. She originally wanted to push him away, but someone else noticed the abnormality between them first.

"What are you two doing shamelessly! I was wondering why you, a woman, were so protective of this little slut even though we are not related to her. It turns out that you were protecting her for your son. You have a good plan! I bought my daughter-in-law with a bag of rice, and now she is a bargain for your family!"

Widow Wang's words were very unpleasant. She did not care that her hair and clothes were torn by Liu Cuimiao. She kept shouting and yelling, obviously wanting to make a big deal out of it. Since she was not doing well, she also did not want Shi Yan to be well.

There were more than just Shi Yan and the village chief's family living nearby. Soon some villagers were woken up and stood not far away watching with confused expressions.

"Aunt Wang, why are you slandering me like this? Brother Zhi just left and you said these things. Do you want people who don't know the truth to drown me with their spit?"

"I just felt uncomfortable after going out today, so I couldn't invite you in. You can't do this. You said these things because you don't want me to live!"

"Aunt, what are you thinking? I have always admired you for teaching Zhige and the family tradition to be gentle and polite, but you can't use your status as an elder to torture me like this!"

The original owner's wish was to marry Zhao Ze, the little bully, so that those lazy guys in the village would not dare to bully her anymore.

Although Shi Yan could avoid being bullied by herself, she had to fulfill the original owner's wish. In addition, after getting along with Zhao Ze recently, she really didn't think that Zhao Ze was a bully. On the contrary, he was very caring and just a little awkward occasionally.

Therefore, in order for the two of them to really be together in the future, they cannot let any bad reputation spread during the short time since Liang Zhigang left.

When Shi Yan's aggrieved and humiliated look appeared, the onlookers, who had not seen Shi Yan's interaction with Zhao Ze just now, immediately helped Shi Yan to lecture Widow Wang.

Widow Wang's commotion was completely self-inflicted, and no one helped her.

She had worked so hard for a long time and ended up being beaten without getting any benefit. She wanted to act like a spoiled child and sat on the ground. She happened to sit on the cow dung that Zhao Zeqing had left in the corner. Now it was not just one lump, but a small pile.

Widow Wang's pants, clothes and hands were all stained with cow dung. Although cow dung was used by villagers as fertilizer for farming, the dung made by Widow Wang was really dirty. The onlookers all stepped back several steps to the side to prevent Widow Wang from getting the dirty stuff on them.

Just as they made way, they cleared the way. Widow Wang felt ashamed, so she quickly got up and ran away.

"Alright, alright, let's all go back. Xiaolian may not have grown up in our village, but since she married into our village, she is now a member of our village. Let's all relax a little. It's not like an elder to be concerned about an orphan girl!"

Zhao De had been standing nearby for quite a while. It was not right for him to get in between women's fights. Now that the troublemakers had left, he took the opportunity, with so many people present, to give them a beating to prevent anyone from getting jealous.

The villagers who were watching naturally nodded repeatedly, and then dispersed as it was not yet time to go to work in the afternoon.

"Xiao Lian, if you feel uncomfortable, just take a rest. We will go back too. If you have anything else, come knock on the door next door."

Liu Cuimiao's hair was a little messy at this moment, but it was much better than that of Widow Wang just now. She greeted Shi Yan, waved to Zhao Ze, and then pulled Village Chief Zhao back home.

"Bang! What happened? Tell me the truth! Don't even think about lying. I saw it. What were you trying to do by getting so close to Xiaolian?"

Of course, she saw clearly what Widow Wang had just seen, so when Widow Wang was shouting at the top of her voice, she was stunned and did not interrupt. She was also afraid that her own son, who was so unscrupulous, would take advantage of other people's girls by using the name of his family.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I just checked my sister-in-law's face to see if she was injured. I didn't do anything else. Do you also believe what that woman said just now?"

Zhao Ze felt a little guilty. After all, if Widow Wang hadn't shouted that just now, he really didn't know what he would have done. But he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise he would be beaten to death by his mother.

"Really? Zhao Ze! I'm telling you, don't have any bad thoughts about Xiaolian, such a good girl. Don't think of taking advantage of your father being a village official and do something to her! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"

"You're idle all day long anyway, so your father and I don't want to support you. At worst, we'll beat you to death. Your father and I will take Xiaolian back home and raise her as our own daughter!"

Zhao Ze: “No!”

Zhao Ze slammed the table and stood up immediately.

"What's wrong? Well, you really have evil intentions. You're making me so angry!"
