Chapter 591: Chapter 616: Getting Ruthless and Aggressive
“Do you really think you’ve married a treasure? You don’t even know how many people have slept with this worn-out trash,” Li Erhua said more and more excitedly, not caring whether it was appropriate or not, vividly claiming, “Who doesn’t know that Sheng Laosan’s wife has abandoned her husband and child? If the beam above is crooked, the one below follows, just like the mother, so is the daughter—all of the same sort…”
“Slap…” Before Li Erhua could finish speaking, Zhao Lanzhi forcefully slapped her, silencing the last half of her sentence.
“I’m going to fight you!” Losing face in front of her daughter-in-law after getting hit, Li Erhua immediately scuffled with Zhao Lanzhi. The two of them immediately started tearing at each other, biting, scratching, choking… using eighteen types of martial arts on each other. Rolling into a ball on the ground, Zhao Lanzhi was mentally prepared when she struck, gripping Li Erhua’s hair tightly, causing her so much pain that she cried for her parents.
“Eldest brother’s wife, second brother’s wife… Are you dead? Don’t you see you need to come help?” Li Erhua screamed at the top of her lungs, but Sheng Ning blocked the two daughters-in-law who were about to rush over and help.
She took out a kitchen knife from the basket she was carrying, which she was supposed to return, and smoothly twirled it. Seeing her wielding the knife as if she might throw it at any moment frightened everyone else three steps back.
“I advise you not to meddle,” Sheng Ning said expressionlessly. “Elders will settle a minor dispute themselves; as juniors, we should pretend not to see.”
She was nearly driven mad with anger. Otherwise, she reckoned she couldn’t be too disgraceful, as it was only her first day of marriage, and she was prepared to join her mother-in-law. Being insulted was one thing, but to dare slander the Living Yama? Was that person sick in the head?
Out of nowhere, a verbal argument was one thing, but to be cursed so vilely in front of others? They really thought they were pushovers.
“Aren’t you going to come help me?” Li Erhua, though plump, exerted control over her daughters-in-law for years and hardly did any labor; she simply had no strength and wasn’t agile, finding herself pinned down and beaten by Zhao Lanzhi.
Unable to withstand the beating, she hurled vulgar insults.
“I curse your grandmother… Zhao Lanzhi, you heartless wretch, I curse you to be childless and die without heirs…”
Sheng Ning, her eyes filled with rage, could no longer hold back, and with the kitchen knife in hand, she stepped toward Li Erhua. Others, who were initially watching from a distance, were now terrified by Sheng Ning’s demeanor.
This… this looks like she’s going to kill someone…
Li Erhua, while verbally lashing out in enjoyment, suddenly saw the shiny kitchen knife in front of her eyes. The shock made her scream obscenities, spewing even more offensive words uncontrollably.
With Sheng Ning’s hand holding the knife as stable as a mountain, and getting closer to Li Erhua, she said, “I respect you as an elder and do not want to make a fuss, but since you have disrespected your old age by cursing in front of me and my mother-in-law, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“What… what do you want to do?”
Sheng Ning ignored her and turned to Zhao Lanzhi, “Mom, come over here. Dealing with this kind of person, just one knife is enough, why go to the trouble of fighting?”
“That’s right! You’re right!” Zhao Lanzhi said, continuing to pin Li Erhua beneath her without moving.
“You… you’re crazy… Murder… Murder! Someone come save me!” As the knife drew closer, Li Erhua was so frightened that she no longer dared to throw a tantrum or curse, screaming loudly instead, but no one around dared to intervene.
“Apologize!” Sheng Ning said coldly, “If you don’t apologize now, when my husband comes, it won’t be as simple as just a knife.”
