Chapter 41 Zhou's Power
After more than a month of sun and wind, I've gotten tanned, my hands are rough, and my skin has peeled off. I don't look like a city person at all anymore.
Anyway, they'll be going back to town in a few days. She just dealt with the second son's family the other day, so today she's going to teach that brat from the fourth wife a lesson and vent her anger!
Zhou took a deep breath, turned around, lifted the curtain, and went back into her room.
How should she deal with this brat?
Zhou frowned, a sinister glint in her eyes. She paced around the room twice, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind—
That's it! These past few days, that brat has been going to Zheng Yongchun's house all the time, apparently saying she wants to drag his Peach Blossom along to set up a stall at the docks...
That damned brat, that traitor! She never thinks of helping her own family, always siding with outsiders.
If we really make money, we have to give half of it to that drunkard's family. What about the tuition fees for our own Xiangming Academy?
Zhou made up her mind; she would first deal with Zheng Yongchun's daughter, Taohua, to make an example of her.
After much thought, she turned her attention to the widow of the Li family in the village, whose reputation was terrible.
Didn't Widow Li get involved with Zheng Yongchun?
Perfect timing! Let Widow Li whisper in Zheng Yongchun's ear and tell him to keep a close eye on his daughter and stop her from coveting other people's money all the time!
Zhou gritted her teeth, rummaged through the house and found half a string of coins. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she sneaked towards Widow Li's residence.
Although Zhou usually despised widows who were unfaithful and liked to flirt, always thinking that she was of low status and frivolous, she couldn't care less about that now in order to deal with Su Li.
Upon knocking on Widow Li's door, Zhou quickly concealed the disgust on her face, forced a smile, and without thinking twice, stuffed the heavy purse into Widow Li's hands.
Widow Li looked at her in surprise. Why would the daughter-in-law of the Su family come to find her?
She had no recollection of ever flirting with the eldest son of the Su family.
Widow Li subconsciously tightened her grip on the cloth bag in her hand. This tightening had an unexpected effect; she could actually feel the shape of copper coins through the bag. She immediately smiled and welcomed Zhou Shi into the door.
"Isn't this Sister-in-law Su? You're quite a rare guest! Please come in and have a seat. I'll make you some tea..."
What does it matter? It's a fool not to take money when it's readily available. They've already stuffed the money into her hand, so why wouldn't she accept it?
Zhou quickly stopped the person, and seeing that no one was around, she whispered her intentions.
"Oh, no need. I came to see you today because I have something to ask you to do. My fourth son's daughter, Su Li, is insisting on taking Tao Hua with her to set up a stall at the docks to do business..."
Zhou lowered her eyes, adopting the considerate demeanor of an elder worried about a younger member of the family, and sighed.
"To be honest, my fourth son is still bedridden and can't move. The old man also fell ill from exhaustion a few days ago. The family really can't take any more trouble. As his aunt, I really can't just watch my niece risk her life at the dock. Sister, please help me persuade Peach Blossom's father not to let Peach Blossom go with him. If Peach Blossom doesn't go, my niece will probably give up the idea."
Widow Li tucked the purse into her bosom, a sly glint in her eyes, and the smile on her lips seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
"Sister-in-law Su, don't worry, I'll take care of this..."
It seems the Su family isn't as peaceful as it appears.
However, saying a few words was nothing to Widow Li.
Moreover, seeing that Tao Hua had been running around all day lately, busy digging up medicinal herbs to sell for money, Zheng Yongchun was reluctant to lay a hand on Tao Hua, saying that he was afraid that if he hurt her, no one would earn money for him.
If Peach Blossom really made a lot of money with the Su family's little girl, what will happen to our dog?
Would Zheng Yongchun still be willing to marry Tao Hua to his own dog?
Widow Li stood there, watching Zhou's departing figure, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
Su Li was unaware that she had been targeted by Zhou Shi for a long time. The next morning, she was about to invite Tao Hua to come to her house to try the freshly made tofu rice when she heard a series of curses coming from the Zheng family's courtyard.
"You shameless brat, you want to do business among the men at the docks? Are you trying to defy the heavens?"
"Stay home and behave yourself. If I find out you have that thought again, I'll break your legs!"
Zheng Yongchun grabbed Tao Hua's hair and slapped her twice hard across the face, making her head buzz. Then he kicked her.
Su Li knew something was wrong as soon as she heard that, and she quickly ran over.
"Peach blossoms—"
She rushed into the courtyard and saw that the house and yard were in a mess. Peach Blossom was slumped on the ground, her hair disheveled, her face covered in tears, and her body was trembling uncontrollably. She couldn't even move, let alone beg for mercy.
Zheng Yongchun stood to the side. He was burly and had a face full of scars. He was glaring at Tao Hua with a fierce look, as if the delicate girl in front of him was not his daughter, but a heinous monster.
"You actually attacked Peach Blossom again..."
With red eyes, Su Li glared at the indifferent man. The next moment, she rushed towards him without hesitation, using all her strength to slam her shoulder into Zheng Yongchun.
That reckless drive actually made even a strong and muscular man stumble!
"If you dare to touch Peach Blossom again, believe me, I'll call a bunch of people to deal with you right now!"
Zheng Yongchun was completely enraged by the sudden impact and warning. He clenched his fist and swung it viciously at Su Li, gritting his teeth as he said:
"You little brat, how dare you meddle in other people's business! Your elders in the Su family don't teach you a lesson, but today I'll give you a good talking to. You ignorant and arrogant brat, it's all your fault for corrupting my Peach Blossom!"
Su Li was not afraid at all. She stared straight at him and even stuck her neck out and put her head in front of Zheng Yongchun.
"If you don't beat me to death today, you're a coward!"
Zheng Yongchun's fist stopped in mid-air.
Looking into the girl's resolute eyes, he felt a little scared.
Has this girl gone mad? With those skinny arms and legs, how dare she go against me? Isn't she afraid of being beaten to death?
His eyes flickered, he lowered his hand, and muttered, "Hmph, you're lucky today, I won't bother with a crazy girl like you..."
He then muttered a few more curses, turned around, and slunk away.
Su Li stepped forward with heartache and hugged Tao Hua in her arms, tears streaming down her face. But before she could investigate why Zheng Yongchun had gone mad and started beating people again, gossip about her quietly began to circulate in the village.
She's an unmarried girl, always thinking about showing her face in public. I wonder who she's trying to seduce. Don't the elders of the Su family have any intention of doing anything about it?
The rumors intensified and soon reached the ears of the Su family. Upon seeing this, the family refused to let Su Li go to the dock to set up a stall and do business anymore.
Even Madam He was somewhat uneasy and privately advised Su Li to give up the idea.
Su Li realized she had been caught in a malicious media storm, and the culprits behind it all were definitely the monsters and demons in her family…
