Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Causing Trouble (1)_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Causing Trouble (1)_1 She didnât even dare raise her head, fearing to see contempt and revulsion in the eyes of those in the know.
She was so ashamed she wished she could crawl into a hole and disappear.
Auntie Wu didnât care about all that; just the thought of the Ruan Family getting two wild chickens, weighing over a dozen pounds each, while her family only had two tiny quails made her feel like her family had suffered a great loss.
She could stomach anything but a loss.
She didnât care how ashamed Wa Yiting felt at the moment, she pushed her towards Ruan Jianguo, and, as if afraid others wouldnât hear her, shouted at the top of her lungs, âRuan Jianguo, your family is really something, arenât they? How is it that after all these years among fellow villagers, no one realized how greedy you are? The children all went to the same hill; why does your family get two large wild chickens, and mine gets two skinny birds?â
âYou better explain this to me, or donât even think about getting away with it! I want to see if the Ruan Family still has any shame left!â
âSpeak up, in front of all the villagers, letâs have a good talk about this!!â
âThese wild chickens were hunted by my sister, naturally they belong to our family,â Ruan Jianguo hadnât yet had the chance to speak when Little Fatty urgently cried out, his neck turning red.
âTsk.â Auntie Wu snorted with a disdainful laugh, bending over as if she had heard a huge joke, and said to the onlookers while pointing at Little Fatty, âFolks, did you hear that? He actually says these chickens were hunted by his sister. What a preposterous lie, isnât it hilarious?â
âXiaoba is not lying; the chickens were indeed hunted by my sister,â Ruan Jie frowned, appearing calmer than Little Fatty but was also very angry.
âExactly, many of us saw it back then,â Ruan Qun chimed in.
âHahahaâŠâ Auntie Wu broke into another round of loud laughter, ridiculing them, âYouâre all family, of course, youâd speak in each otherâs favor. How big is your sister, huh? Capable of hunting wild chickens now, is she? Why not say she can fly to the sky?!â She continued with a burst of laughter, âDoesnât everyone know that she was nearly dying from illness not long ago? And now in such a short time, she can hunt wild chickens?â
âYou say she was nearly dying from illness?â Ruan Jianguoâs eyes widened, his voice going cold, and his expression turned menacing.
Normally, because Auntie Wu was a woman, Ruan Jianguo wouldnât stoop to argue with her, but that didnât mean he could tolerate her speaking about his daughter like that. At this point, he didnât care that she was a woman anymore.
Auntie Wu dared to babble on so incessantly precisely because she knew that Ruan Jianguo wouldnât stoop to argue with her.
But she hadnât anticipated his sudden change of demeanor and was startled.
Once she recovered, she began to bluster, âRuan Jianguo, are you trying to bully a woman? Are you still a man or not?!â
âWhether heâs a man or not doesnât need verification from a wretched hag like you. You just need to be sure whether your own man is a man; of course, if youâre unsure, you can just go back to your bed and find out right now,â Ruanlinâs wife came out holding Ruan Jiaojiao, scoffing with sarcasm.
âPfftâŠâ
âHahahaâŠâ
âPupuâŠâ
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter immediately, with some more outspoken ones even egging Auntie Wu on to hurry back and try it out, making sure to report back to them afterward.
Even with her thick skin, Auntie Wu was now blushing all over.
With her face flushed red, she cursed Ruanlinâs wife inwardly as an indecent old hag, yet outwardly she maintained a serious demeanor as if she were demanding justice, âAuntie Ruan, I give you the respect due to an auntie, but that doesnât mean todayâs issue can just be forgotten.â
