Ugly girl only wants to farm

"Brother Zhang, don't be afraid. I'll risk my life to get you back. These bastards dared to bully you. I'll beat them to a pulp. They don't even know what's good for them to bully people in our area."

Several people grabbed their weapons and surrounded Zhang Xuyang, forcibly pulling him back from their grasp. They wiped the mud off him and the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xuyang was touched. Just now, these people were still somewhat hesitant, but after Xu Chaoyan arrived, they glared at them angrily.

When Li Dazhu suddenly saw so many people surrounding him, his aunts also became a little flustered.

"Zhu Zi, look at the mess this has made, why don't we just let it go and go back first? A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. As long as we bring your wife and daughter back, that's fine. We can exchange the daughter for some money when she grows up. Let's just forget about the others."

Aunt Li suddenly spat at the group of women: "You bunch of spineless cowards! Didn't you see how badly your nephew was bullied? And you still have the nerve to say it's over? You have to pay me back today! Smash this place! I don't believe these people can stop me from taking my wife home. Today they're ganging up on me, so smash everything in this yard! And they have to hand over the money they stole from the Li family. You'd better beat that pretty boy to death!"

Upon hearing the term "pretty boy," Li Dazhu's eyes blazed with fury. He glared fiercely at Meng Jiuhe, saying, "Pretty boy, let me tell you, don't think you're so great just because you're a scholar. Just because you're a scholar doesn't mean you can seduce married women and collude with that slut to swindle my family's money. I'm telling you, I'm not done with you today. Either hand over your money, or I'll break your legs and ruin your future."

Zhang Yueniang placed Yaya in Zhang Xuyang's hands, grabbed a large broom from the side, and started hitting Li Dazhu with it. She roared in a hoarse voice, "You beast, you dog, you son of a bitch! Where were you when your parents stuck a needle into my daughter's head? Where were you when they bullied me? How dare you say that here?"

“Your family is so poor that you don’t even have extra bowls. Why would I steal your money? Don’t frame an innocent person for no reason. Meng Xiucai’s wife is right there. How could I have an affair with someone? You’re just trying to cover up the fact that you’ve been seeing prostitutes. Let me tell you, with your parents’ character, you can forget about having a grandson. People are watching what you do. They’ve done so many bad things in their lives that they’re destined to be childless. And you, Li Dazhu, go to those shady brothels every day to see prostitutes. I see your face is dark and you’re covered in bruises. You won’t live past next year.”

Caught off guard, Li Dazhu was pinned down by Zhang Yueniang and beaten mercilessly. She slashed his face several times with a bamboo broom. A woman's strength is ultimately weaker. At first, Li Dazhu was somewhat restrained, but when he heard her cursing him and becoming increasingly outrageous, he slapped her across the face.

"You shameless slut, I'm going to drag you back and drown you in a pig cage. How dare you embarrass yourself here?"

After that slap, Xu Chaoyan was the first to rush up and kick him twice, making him stagger: "You coward, I'll kick you to death today, you dog!"

The scene became somewhat chaotic at this point, and the men that Li Dazhu brought were surrounded by these people and were being beaten and howling in pain.

In the end, Meng Jiuhe pulled Xu Chaoyan aside and gently advised, "Wife, that's enough. Just teach them a lesson. If you keep hitting them, someone will die. These people have ill intentions. Just beating them up won't do much good."

Seeing a dozen or so burly men surrounding him, all armed with weapons, Li Dazhu felt a little guilty. Holding his nose, which had been knocked crooked, he pointed at Zhang Yueniang and roared, "You slut, I'm giving you two choices today: either come back with me and we'll call it even, or I'll drag you to be drowned in a pig cage."

The old woman and Zhang Xuyang shook their heads and waved their hands at her, telling her not to go back, as the consequences of doing so were obvious.

Li Dazhu suffered a loss here today, and he will definitely take out his anger on his mother and daughter when he gets back. Since things have already escalated to this point, we might as well resolve the matter once and for all.

Uncle Zhang happened to be returning from outside the yard. He had gone out to deliver tofu today and was a little late. He didn't expect such a commotion at home. He dropped the tofu basket, picked up the hoe next to him, and was about to hit Li Dazhu with it.

"You dog, you beast, how dare you bully my daughter! I'm not done with you today, Yue Niang! Today we'll divorce this bastard and he'll take care of you from now on."

After saying that, he leaned on the hoe, panting heavily.

Zhang Yueniang stared at her father in disbelief, tears streaming down her face. She had only planned to come back to hide for a while, but this man happened to come today, so she figured she could teach him a lesson. She had never thought of divorcing him.

She knew how difficult life was for a woman who had been divorced and left at home, and how it would jeopardize her younger brother's future. Looking at her parents and younger brother, she shook her head and choked out, "Father, Mother, Yue Niang doesn't want to be a burden to you."

Li Dazhu laughed smugly: "Hmph, these are your parents. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you'd better be sensible and not affect my brother-in-law's future. Of course, I have to take my wife back with me."

Although her parents wanted a grandson, and Yue Niang's health wasn't good, she could still stay home to do housework, odd jobs, and take care of her parents.

He supplemented his income by doing some needlework on weekdays. He had previously become involved with a widow in the village. The widow said that if he gave her ten taels of silver, she would give birth to a son for him, and he could just take him home.

Yue Niang's health has been somewhat weak these past few years. The doctor said it's because she has difficulty conceiving, which is why she's been fooling around outside and having an affair with a widow.

The widow had a son who was also studying at the school. She said that her son would have a bright future. As long as he paid for his studies now, she would support him by having another son later, relying on their blood relationship.

Li Dazhu was somewhat tempted. He had discussed with Yueniang several times about bringing the widow to his home to help with her pregnancy. Yueniang argued with him about this, saying that he had been cuckolded and that he didn't know that the widow had many men around her and that she didn't even know if the child in her belly was his. These words enraged Li Dazhu, and the two started arguing and got into a big fight.

Zhang Xuyang helped Yue Niang up and said firmly, "Sister, my future is not important. You and Ya Ya are the most important. We must divorce this scoundrel today. Do you want to keep him around for the New Year?"

Li Dazhu chuckled, a calculating glint in his eyes: "Fine, you want me to divorce my wife? Fine, but you'll have to hand over the ten taels of silver you stole from my house today. If you want me to divorce her, you'll have to compensate me with another thirty taels of silver, making it forty taels in total. Just hand it over."

He secretly thought that with this money, the widow could take good care of her pregnancy at home, and he could also enjoy a period of leisure.

Xu Chaoyan sneered at him: "You turtle-like bastard, you think you're worth money? Even if you were sold as meat, you wouldn't be worth that much. You're all water. Let me tell you, right now you either sign the divorce papers and we can part amicably, or we'll report you to the authorities."

"I haven't even bothered with you for trespassing. Let me tell you, my husband is a scholar who has connections with the town mayor and many local gentry. Zhang Xuyang and his ilk are also very talented and know people in the government. You'd better think carefully about whose territory this is. I've already sent someone to find someone."

Meng Jiuhe tugged at her sleeve from behind and whispered, "Wife, you're exaggerating a bit. When did we ever meet those powerful and influential people? At least make your bluff more believable."

Xu Chaoyan gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, you can fool these people. You are a scholar, you can't escape that. When you're out in the world, your status is something you give yourself."

Li Dazhu and several of his aunts and uncles were still discussing this matter. He had heard his two wives say that his younger brother was good at studying and knew classmates at school. If he really knew those powerful and influential people, they, as ordinary people, could not afford to offend him.

The two sides remained deadlocked, unable to reach an agreement.

Finally, Li Dazhu stared at them for a while before reluctantly saying, "Fine, I'll let it go for now. I'll settle the score with you before the New Year."

Before leaving, they took all of Zhang Xuyang's chickens and even some fruit from the trees.
