Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Too Much Bullying

“Ouch! You fat lump, what are you doing!”

The simpleton, without any care for the consequences, reflexively swept her away from himself with a slap, clearly disgusted.

“Owie! That hurts me to death.” The carriage itself was already bumpy, and as Lady Li was jostled about disorientedly, the simpleton’s push made her tumble into a pile of items, most of which were baskets woven from bamboo strips, very hard, making her grimace in pain and cry out.

Lady Li was usually so overbearing in the village, with her nagging mouth, always gossiping about the east owner and the west owner. The women had long grown tired of her and, seeing her in such a disgraceful state, not only did no one offer to help her, they even erupted in laughter…

“Lady Li, is your husband’s ‘thing’ not up to the task, eh? Seeing how desperate you look, throwing yourself at any handsome young man, you really have no shame, hahaha…!” A woman laughed so hard tears streamed down her face, not forgetting to throw in a taunt.

“Exactly, just now you were accusing Xuexue of slandering you, and now you can’t deny it, can you? With both eyewitnesses and physical evidence, you might as well admit it, hahaha…!”

Listening to everyone’s mockery, Lady Li’s face turned the color of pig liver. She struggled to her feet and moved to her own seat to sit down. This time, she didn’t dare try to squeeze in with her large behind but sat quietly without uttering a word.

“Lady Li, why aren’t you cursing at people now?” It was rare to see Lady Li at a disadvantage, and the woman who had previously lost to her sharp tongue felt extremely pleased.

“Don’t push people too far. It’s only because the carriage is too bumpy, and I bumped into this blockhead by accident. These kinds of things happen all the time in a bullock cart.” Not willing to suffer in silence, Lady Li retorted.

“Ordinarily, decent women might bump hands or feet, but I’ve never seen someone throw her entire body into another’s arms. Lady Li, you still won’t admit there’s something fishy, that you can’t control yourself at the sight of a handsome young man?” The woman’s mouth was vicious, and to add insult to injury, she said, “Does your husband even know you’re such a flirt?”

This huge accusation made Lady Li quiver with rage. Usually, she was the one making accusations, and she hadn’t expected to be on the receiving end one day. She stuttered in response, “You… you… you’re talking nonsense.”

“Hahaha…!”

The women inside the carriage, seeing Lady Li so enraged, couldn’t help but burst into another peal of laughter. Of course, they knew it was not true; they just wanted to teach her a lesson for her usually sharp and spiteful tongue.

“Wife, I don’t want to sit with this dead fat woman. I want to swap places with you.”

The simpleton, a little unhappy now that everyone was joking about him and the fat woman next to him, pouted and spoke.

“Alright!”

Country women, used to boundless freedom, spoke bluntly without filters, saying things that could be quite rough and unpleasant. Seeing his look of hurt, Xuexue swapped seats with him to spare him the embarrassment.

After this incident, Lady Li sat there like a turtle shrinking into its shell, not daring to make a sound.

Soon, the bullock cart arrived at Mo Family Village, and everyone got off one after another.

As Xuexue stood up, intending to bend down and move the loaded baskets out of the cart, a pair of large hands beat her to it, lifting a basket out of the carriage. When she looked up, to her surprise, it was the simpleton.

Unexpectedly, he possessed such strength. The load of baskets and goods must have weighed over a hundred pounds, yet he lifted one in each hand as if they were mere vegetable baskets, easily stepping down to the ground.

“Wow, Madam Xie, your son-in-law is something special, eh? Not only is he handsome, but he’s also so strong. I think from now on, no one in Mo Family Village will dare to bully you and your daughter anymore.” The women who were about to leave were all amazed.

“Hehe…, yes.” Madam Xie felt a bit guilty upon hearing the word ‘son-in-law’.
