Chapter 112: Struck by Lightning

Chapter 112: Struck by Lightning

Seeing Su Rouer stunned, Qian Shi thought she had been swayed and was secretly delighted. Just as she was about to add fuel to the fire, she saw Wei Pozi hurrying from the other end of the dirt road, with that wild girl Xingxing following closely behind—obviously, she had gone back to spread the news!

Qian Shi cursed inwardly; it was indeed the bastard child of some disreputable woman!

How truly annoying!

Before Qian Shi could speak, Wei Pozi launched into a tirade: "I knew something was off when I heard crows cawing earlier, so annoying! It turns out it was you! What now, here to cause trouble at our house again?!"

Qian Shi's face immediately changed.

Wei Pozi was pointing fingers and giving her no face at all!

Su Rouer's expression flickered slightly, but thinking of Qian Shi's previous actions, it would be a miracle if her mother-in-law still treated her like family!

One word for it: deserved.

So Su Rouer only cast a faint glance at Qian Shi, not uttering a single word.

Qian Shi gritted her teeth and sneered, "Fine, your attitude shows you don't want to acknowledge this marriage with the Su family! Su Rouer, are you just going to stand there and watch your in-laws bully your own family?!"

Su Rouer replied in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, respect is earned. The way you and your family acted when you came to our home, you didn't treat me like one of your own."

Qian Shi spat on the ground in anger, "I see marrying into such a filthy family has made you as shameless as them!"

Before Su Rouer could react, Wei Pozi stepped forward and yanked Qian Shi's hair, growling, "Who are you calling filthy, who are you calling shameless?!"

Qian Shi screamed and struggled, feeling as if her scalp was being torn off by Wei Pozi!

Wei Pozi stood firm, holding Qian Shi's hair tightly, letting Qian Shi flail her arms wildly—she couldn't hit her at all!

Many villagers gathered to watch the commotion. Seeing Wei Pozi finally get into a fight, they were excited and cheered her on.

Qian Shi's so-called dignity as a "city person" was crumbling, and she screamed and cursed, "Old hag, let go of me! Your whole family are thieves and prostitutes, stinking and shameless, unable to even bear children properly..."

Wei Pozi, still pulling Qian Shi's hair, raised her other hand and slapped Qian Shi hard twice!

These two slaps left Qian Shi dazed!

All her foul words were scattered!

The villagers watching were thrilled!

Someone even called out, laughing, "Aunt Wei, you're as fierce as ever!"

Wei Pozi ignored the cheering crowd, released Qian Shi's hair, and wiped her hands on her clothes in disgust.

Qian Shi's hair was disheveled, her cheeks swollen, and she looked utterly disheveled!

She never expected that despite all their previous disturbances at the Yu family, Wei Pozi hadn't laid a hand on them, and now suddenly, she was pulling hair and slapping, leaving Qian Shi dumbfounded!

Instinctively, Qian Shi felt a twinge of fear.

Wei Pozi, seeing the fear in Qian Shi's eyes, sneered mockingly.

Some people, when you treat them with respect, will only become more arrogant.

They just need a good beating!

As a sister-in-law, Su Rouer felt a bit reluctant to watch, so she turned away.

But... how to put it, after that initial reluctance passed, Su Rouer secretly felt that her mother-in-law's handling of the situation was rather satisfying!

Qian Shi, no longer daring to act tough with Wei Pozi, simply sat on the ground, pounding it and wailing loudly.

"Everyone, come and judge! Who has ever seen someone beat up their daughter-in-law's family like this?!"

The villagers watching were unmoved.

Firstly, most of them knew Wei Pozi's temperament.

Secondly, Su Rouer's family... had long been notorious in Nantuo Village!

After all, both Qian Shi and the Su family had come to Nantuo Village and caused a ruckus at the Yu family.

Their behavior had become a laughingstock in Nantuo Village.

The villagers of Nantuo Village felt that the Su family looked down on them, acting as if city people were so much nobler!

Coming to the Yu family demanding money, acting as if they were royalty!

Embarrassing and shameful!

Thus, when Qian Shi wailed on the ground, not only did she fail to gain sympathy from the villagers, but some even laughed, saying, "Oh, Mrs. Qian, aren't you a dignified city person? Why are you sitting on the ground, crying and making a fuss like a village hag?"

The crowd watching burst into laughter.

For Qian Shi, this was like being pierced by a thousand arrows!

Her face turned from green to white, then to purple, a kaleidoscope of colors.

She got up from the ground, glaring at Wei Pozi, "What are you so smug about?! I didn't lie, dare you say in front of everyone that the girl you adopted—"

She suddenly pointed at Xingxing, "isn't Yu Sanbao's illegitimate child with some woman outside?!"

Wei Pozi, hearing Qian Shi call Xingxing a "bastard," was so angry she wanted to slap her again. But when she heard what Qian Shi said next—that Xingxing was Yu Sanbao's child with some woman outside—she was in a state of disbelief.

—This was absurdity's mother opening the door to absurdity, reaching its peak!

Because it was too outrageous, Wei Pozi’s first reaction was to wonder if you were joking with her.

However, when Wei Pozi came to her senses and saw the villagers drawing in sharp breaths, she laughed out of anger.

“Pah!” Wei Pozi spat without hesitation, “Don’t use your filthy mouth to dirty others’ ears! I dare say that if Xingxing were my third son’s child, a bolt of lightning would strike me dead right now! Do you dare say the same?!”

People at the time still placed great importance on such oaths, and seeing Wei Pozi take such a serious vow, the villagers instinctively believed her.

Qian Shi, seeing Wei Pozi’s firm denial, felt a pang of panic and began to waver.

Could it really not be?

But… that didn’t make sense either. If it really wasn’t, why would Wei Pozi treat that wild girl like the apple of her eye?

A man like Yu Sanbao had never been seen holding Dabao or Xiaobao, yet he held that wild girl so affectionately—it couldn’t be faked!

Qian Shi stiffened her neck and forced herself to say, “...It’s broad daylight now, of course you’d dare to say that.”

Wei Pozi sneered, “Then do you dare to say that if Xingxing isn’t my third son’s child, you’ll be struck by lightning immediately?”

“I’ll say it—I’ll say it—” Qian Shi shouted, her voice trembling with bravado, “If that wild girl isn’t Yu Sanbao’s child, then I...”

Before she could finish, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the previously clear sky, rumbling with thunder!

Qian Shi’s face turned pale with fear!
