Hearing Du Mingxian call him, Chen Ming hurriedly ran over, "Sister."

"Bring me a basin of water."

"it is good."

Chen Ming went inside, and Du Mingxian stood there waiting.

The villagers in the distance were terrified, whispering amongst themselves.

"Si Lang's wife has gone mad. She stabbed him twice first, and then whipped him directly. Zhang Er probably won't survive."

“I saw how Silang was carried back. If it were me… I might have the urge to kill him. I don’t even know if Silang can be saved. I think Zhang Er wouldn’t be enough even if he died a hundred times.”

"That's right. What is Zhang Er? A hundred Zhang Ers can't compare to one Si Lang. Si Lang is a scholar. He's a scholar."

“He is the hope of our village, the hope of our Ling family. How dare Zhang Er treat Si Lang like this? Everyone knows that Si Lang is in poor health. I saw Si Lang’s face back then… I’m afraid he won’t make it this time.”

"Even if Silang's wife beats him to death, I will support her."

"It's one thing for someone to die, but two? If Zhang Er makes another mistake, it's not something a woman like Si Lang's wife should do."

"Don't forget, your child is still studying in the ancestral hall. Think about who helped your child learn to read. Don't stand here like an ingrate."

"That's right, get out, get out, don't do it here."

Some people were angry at Zhang Er's actions, while others sympathized with Zhang Er for being beaten to death.

But most people are still rational; few sympathize with Zhang Er, and many feel that Zhang Er deserves to die.

No one knows who sent the message to Zhang Er's family, but when Chen Ming brought out the water and Du Mingxian splashed a basin of water on it, Zhang Er's mother arrived.

"Stop! Stop!" Zhang Erniang shouted from afar.

But it was no use; Du Mingxian didn't hear it, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

When Zhang Erniang saw her son hanging from the tree, her face turned pale. When she saw Du Mingxian holding a whip and splashing her son with a basin, she became even angrier.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Why are you hitting people and splashing our second son, eldest son, third son, and fourth son? You guys, put the second son down right now."

Du Mingxian lashed out with her whip, striking Zhang Er directly. Zhang Er was probably still unconscious from the pain, and even after being hit, he showed no signs of waking up.

"Let's see who dares."

Zhang Erniang felt sorry for her son. When she saw Du Mingxian stopping her, she immediately started cursing, "You little slut, it's one thing to hit my son, but now you won't let us put him down. What are you up to? Do you want my son to die?"

Du Mingxian didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Erniang with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person.

She was originally an assassin, and at this moment she made no attempt to conceal her murderous aura and coldness. Her attitude alone was enough to intimidate most people.

But Zhang Erniang was worried about her son and felt that Du Mingxian was terrifying, but she still forced herself to speak, "Si Lang's wife, you can't do this. My Zhang Er is a human being too. Look, you've already hit him and splashed water on him. Even if you're angry, can't we put him down first and then talk things out?"

"No."

“This won’t do. If we don’t put him down, my second son will die. Look at the blood, look at his condition. You’re a woman, you have no heart at all.”

Du Mingxian looked at Zhang Erniang as if she were a fool, "Why should I feel sorry for an animal?"

Zhang Erniang's fingers trembled as she pointed at Du Mingxian, her face turning ashen with anger. "You... how dare you speak like that? You... how could you swear at someone?"

Zhang Da couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to interject, "Si Lang's wife, you are of a later generation. My mother is an elder, after all. How can you speak to your elder like that?"

"An elder?" Du Mingxian pointed at Zhang Erniang with her whip, then coldly scoffed, "Does she deserve it? What kind of elder? What elder?"

“My mother and your mother-in-law are best friends. Our two families might even become in-laws. How can you talk like that?” Zhang Da’s eyes were full of disgust for Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian shook her head, "She doesn't deserve it, she isn't one, she's nothing in my eyes. Oh, if you insist on giving her a title, then it's..."

She smiled, her tone indifferent, "Beast Mother?"

Du Mingxian's arrogant attitude infuriated the Zhang family. Zhang Erniang immediately tried to hit Du Mingxian, but Du Mingxian kicked her ten meters away.

After Zhang Erniang fell to the ground, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Zhang family was shocked. The men didn't dare to utter another word and rushed forward to ask their mother if she was alright.

Du Mingxian frowned as she stared at the unconscious Zhang Er, without saying a word.

Zhang Erniang coughed up blood but didn't faint. She just stared at Du Mingxian with red eyes and said, "Eldest son, help your mother inside. I'm going to ask her properly if this is how your aunt disciplines her daughter-in-law."

"well."

Zhang Da and the others helped Zhang Erniang walk slowly forward.

Zhang San asked, "Mother, are we just going to watch Second Brother hang from the tree like this? I think Second Brother's leg injury is minor, but his arm injury is quite serious. His arm is still hanging there. If we don't get him down quickly, his arm might be ruined."

“Mother knows, but that woman is like a madwoman, Mother… Mother can’t do anything about it.”

Zhang San muttered to himself, "She's just a woman. If we all gang up on her, we'll find a way."

Zhang Da and Zhang Erniang listened to these words, but neither of them said a word.

The mother and her four children entered the Ling family's courtyard together.

Zhang Erniang still wanted to find Ling's mother, but when she entered the courtyard, she felt the oppressive atmosphere. Her entrance made quite a commotion, and a group of people in the courtyard turned to look at them.

The moment Zhang Erniang saw them, she saw only disgust in the eyes of the Ling family members.

Her breath caught in her throat. The messenger only said that Ling Silang was injured, and that it was the second son who did it, but didn't say anything more. Something seemed wrong.

Zhang Erniang was somewhat frightened by the way the Ling family members looked at them. She quickly glanced around and, before she could see Ling's mother, she made a decisive move and left the Ling family's courtyard.

Standing at the Ling family's gate, Zhang Erniang whispered, "Fourth brother, go and find out what your second brother did and how he offended the Ling family. You need to find out the whole story."

"Okay." Zhang Si ran off.

Zhang Erniang was caught in a dilemma. She wanted to retreat further away, but Du Mingxian was standing under the tree, which was less than ten meters away from the Ling family's gate.

And seeing the flesh that had fallen from her own body, now hanging there in a state of life or death, it felt as if her flesh was being ripped out.

She wanted to go into the Ling family's courtyard to ask them for advice, but seeing so many people in the Ling family, all showing expressions of disgust, she sensed that something was wrong.

He didn't dare say a word.
