Quick Transmigration: Leisure

She slumped to the ground and refused to get up.

She only looked into the distance, hoping someone would stand up for her.

Of the two newcomers in the village, Hu Xiaodan and Xia Youmi are undoubtedly better integrated.

The third son's wife had only been married into the family for a short time when she was diagnosed with pregnancy. She never gave anyone a second glance. On the contrary, Tao Lao Er's wife before she went crazy was well-behaved and polite.

Even after the incident escalated, most of the young wives privately sympathized with her plight.

Besides, they don't yell at outsiders; it's always whoever provokes them who gets scolded.

The crowd felt relieved.

"Third brother!" Hu Xiaodan cried out in a heart-wrenching voice. Everyone followed her gaze and saw several small figures rushing in this direction, dragging the doctor from the infirmary along with them.

Those with good eyesight also recognized them; it was Tao Laosan and his group.

Before I could even stand up straight, I was stunned by the sight.

It all looks like Ma the matchmaker and Hu Xiaodan fought to the bitter end, with their own mother standing by, clutching her chest.

Xia Youmi had already retreated into the courtyard, holding a broom and watching warily.

"Doctor, let me see my mother first." Tao Xiangcai made the decision, then walked over to Hu Xiaodan, grabbed her arms and easily lifted her up.

"Third brother..."

The matchmaker, Ma, had been helped to the foot of a tree by her acquaintances, groaning incessantly.

"Sister-in-law." Tao Guo'er greeted Xia Youmi after seeing her mother's condition.

Xia Youmi nodded without saying a word.

This sister-in-law is a sensible person, but she cannot resist the domineering ways of her parents, and her fate is full of twists and turns.

The other person was still whispering complaints, tears and blood mingling together.

Grandma Tao has already returned to the Tao family home with the help of her youngest daughter and eldest daughter-in-law.

She felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have brought people along. Although the matchmaker, Ma, was indeed in the village, she clearly hadn't gotten the second son's family any favors, as a neighbor had quietly informed her.

That old hag was kicked out of the house in the morning, supposedly because they were going to lay a hand on her grandson, and then the crazy widow chased her away.

Therefore, it seems that remarriage is simply out of the question.

Hu Xiaodan has suffered a loss, and she'll make a huge fuss about it. If that causes a stir and attracts unwanted attention, things could get messy. She needs to rush back and tell the old man that he can't just enjoy the good life for too long and forget he should keep a low profile.

After hearing the whole story, Tao Laosan was at a loss for words, unsure what expression to make.

He looked at the two people, one big and one small.

Qi Qi exuded a sense of aloofness and hostility, gripping their weapons tightly as if ready to fight at any moment.

"Sister-in-law..."

"What do you mean, 'sister-in-law'!" Hu Xiaodan protested. She twisted Tao Xiangcai's arm, forcing him to show his authority and teach the two a lesson.

"Hmph—" Xia Youmi delivered another sarcastic remark.

"You! Third brother, if you don't vent your anger today, I'll take Jinwa home tomorrow." Hu Xiaodan was blinded by pain and humiliation, unable to think of a solution.

I just want to retaliate immediately and reclaim my dignity tenfold.

She had been a tyrant in Hu Family Village since childhood, and because of her ancestors' connections, no one dared to say a bad word about her openly. Even her cousin, Hu Xiaoyu, was just a scheming girl and couldn't beat her at all.

They've been putting on an act for almost two years.

Now, I wish I could just tear their mouths apart.

“Sister-in-law, Xiaodan was just being unreasonable…” Tao Xiangcai’s words were like adding fuel to the fire.

Finally, that string was detonated.

Before anyone could react, and without making a sound before making a move, she swiftly lunged at Xia Youmi's face.

It was so sudden that those around them didn't have time to react.

In fact, Tao Xiangcai only managed to grasp a corner of his wife's clothes.

Some people covered their eyes, unable to witness it.

"what!"

"Boom!"

It was still that same sparse broom, but this time it didn't attack the lower part of the body; instead, it swept straight at the opponent's face.

With full force.

Hu Xiaodan couldn't dodge in time and ended up with a mouthful of thorns. She was knocked to the ground, but she didn't forget to retaliate, grabbing a handful of pebbles and throwing them towards Xia Youmi and Tao Pu.

She swung the large broom's tail like a tennis racket.

Many of the stones hit Hu Xiaodan back at her.

Tao Xiangcai had already stepped forward and subdued the man, but he himself had several scratches on his face.

In the chaos, only a loud clanging sound was heard.

Under Xia Youmi's cover, Tao Pu actually managed to slam the iron spoon into Hu Xiaodan's hand. His face turned bright red, and there were even scratches on it. It seemed he had been waiting for this fair and square counterattack for a long time.

"Still dare to lay a hand on me! Still throwing the child! Just like your great-aunt!" Seeing that Tao Xiangcai was protecting Hu Xiaodan, and that a grown man could handle it, Xia Youmi stopped holding back.

She swung her "weapon" and hit him again and again.

Tao Xiangcai endured the pain, hoping to take a few blows to atone for his sins to his second brother.

"Youmi, Matchmaker Ma is trying to run away." Upon hearing Niannian's report, Xia Youmi didn't linger. She grabbed a bamboo pole and ran towards the door.

They happened to run into Ma, who was trying to slip away.

Seeing that her nephew-in-law wasn't there to support his wife, the matchmaker tried to slip away.

The person who had asked her to sound out the situation.

The money has already been given to her; this sum is equivalent to three matchmaking fees, so she could have left long ago. At worst, she could say that Widow Xia disagreed and even insulted the woman; ideally, she could attract those menacing-looking people to retaliate.

She had such beautiful ideas.

but,

"Ouch! Who the hell hurt me!" Another sharp pain shot through his buttocks. He felt like he was cursed today; how could he have been injured in the same spot three times in a row?

thump--

Xia Youmi didn't give the other person time to react, first striking the middle, then aiming at her back of the knee.

Make the other person kneel down on the spot.

In the middle of summer, everyone is wearing thin clothes, and this bump on my old leg must be really uncomfortable.

Xia Youmi didn't stay in the same place to confront them; she turned around and went back to the courtyard to check the situation.

The two on the ground were still entwined like star-crossed lovers.

Hu Xiaodan's sobs gradually subsided.

Tao Pu kept a close watch from the side, and whenever there was any sign of someone raising their hand to grab a stone, he would knock it down with an iron spoon.

The onlookers outside the courtyard initially thought the child was just squatting and playing.

Xia Youmi pointed her toes at the two men and said, "Get lost."

He pulled Tao Pu to wash his hands, ignoring the wailing and lamenting outside.

Just as they realized they were too ashamed and slunk out the door, Xia Youmi slammed the door shut. A few seconds later, a loud thud was heard, followed by increasingly pitiful cries of pain.

Every year, the image of Hu Xiaodan kicking the door in frustration replays in her mind, her calf going numb from the force of her own kick.

A few neighbors who were still talking in the distance started laughing and joking.

They couldn't even wait until the next day to go to work; they went straight to each other's homes to tell their old friends the joke they had just heard.

Old Tao was so angry at home that he smashed his pipe.

He shouted at his youngest son as he entered the door to kneel down.

Hu Xiaodan was helped into the room by Tao Guo'er, who carefully treated her wounds.

She couldn't see that outside the door, the third son was being subjected to the Tao family's discipline. Its ferocity far surpassed anything Xia Youmi could do; the old lady simply handed her a bamboo sliver for her son to bite on.

You are not allowed to make a sound.

The specially made horsewhip was coated with a medicinal solution; it was painful to whip, but it also stopped the bleeding. (1)
