Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Rolling Calves_1

“Zhao Lan, you venomous woman, I can’t believe those words would come out of your mouth. I know what kind of person my wife is—she may be young, but she’s the kindest and most honest person around. If you hadn’t pushed her too far, how could she possibly have laid a hand on you? Most likely, you struck too hard, and she had no choice but to fight back in self-defense.”

If Zhao Erhu had managed to contain his anger a moment ago, Zhao Lan’s words truly infuriated him now. It was bad enough that his little wife had been beaten seriously. Now, Zhao Lan was even trying to smear her reputation. In Zhao Erhu’s heart, just like most of the people present, they all believed Zhao Lan was the one bullying Lin Yue. No one ever considered the possibility of Lin Yue playing the innocent to strike unexpectedly. It must be said that Zhao Lan’s past deeds had left a deep negative impression in everyone’s minds, leading to the current situation.

“What do you mean by that, Zhao Erhu? I am your older aunt by blood, could I possibly deceive you? How can you not believe me, and instead trust that little wretch? It was clearly she who started the physical altercation. I have no idea how her family raised her, daring to lay hands on an elder with no manners at all. How is she fit to be a wife in our Zhao Family? I think you’d better divorce her soon, lest she leads Dalang and the others astray.”

Zhao Lan, after all, couldn’t change her true nature. Although she felt a momentary fear due to Zhao Erhu’s uncharacteristically fiery reaction, she immediately became infuriated when Zhao Erhu defended his wife and blamed her. In the heat of the moment, she vehemently denigrated Lin Yue, not realizing that such behavior only further confirmed the accusations made by Lin Yue and the children.

Erhu, who was standing aside, tugged at Sanlang’s sleeve, and Sanlang, who was quick-witted, immediately understood, and speaking through sobs, relayed Erhu’s message. “Wuwu, Mother fought with Aunt because she was protecting us. Don’t blame her; she’s the best mother in the world.”

Before, Sanlang’s naive understanding was free to interpret, but now with Erhu’s guidance and instructions, Sanlang’s performance had clearly improved by leaps and bounds. This crying plea timely explained why Lin Yue had come into conflict with Zhao Lan. The villagers’ gaze towards Zhao Lan grew increasingly disdainful. This shrew had not only caused chaos in her nephew’s home but had also beaten her own nephew’s wife bloody, and she was even cruel enough to strike the children. If that wasn’t a venomous woman, what was?

The village chief and the Great Uncle sat in the most honored seats with very displeased expressions. The Great Uncle, who spoke first, slammed his palm on the table, “This is outrageous! Zhao Lan, you come from the Zhao Family; how could you do such a thing? Such malice is simply infuriating. How did Erhu and his wife ever wrong you for you to act this way?”

Even if Zhao Lan was foolish, she realized at this moment that she had been framed by Lin Yue and the children. “Don’t you listen to their nonsense! I had thought that woman from the Lin Family was just a wretched person without blessings, but I didn’t expect her to be so cunning, instigating these ungrateful little wolves to gang up on me. Lin Family woman, come out here, you shameless thing!”

“Like hell!” Zhao Erhu bellowed.

“Ah! Zhao Erhu, what are you going to do!”

Zhao Erhu and Zhao Lan stood face-to-face in confrontation, not far apart from each other. Before the crowd could react, Zhao Erhu lunged at Zhao Lan and grabbed her by the throat. Zhao Lan let out a frightened scream, then her face turned red, and her neck swelled from being choked by Zhao Erhu; she couldn’t utter a single word, her gaze unfocused, and she helplessly flailed her arms and legs at Zhao Erhu. The village chief and the Great Uncle, fearing the worst, hurriedly stopped Zhao Erhu and called several strong young men to separate the two.
