Chapter 27: Fighting

  Everyone pushed open the door and came in, Song Jie was shocked, had she been robbed?

  Mrs. Zhao came in first, followed by Zhao Juan and Zhao Tong. The two women had disheveled hair and their clothes were covered with wrinkles, with several red marks on their faces. Only Zhao Tong was a bit better off, still looking relatively tidy from head to toe.

  Even if it's a big gathering with many people, it's impossible to end up like this. Moreover, there are scars on her face, one look and you can tell she got into a fight. But Zhao Mu has only been here for a few days, who does she know? Besides, they're not the type of people to cause trouble either.

  Song Jie ran "patter patter" to the door, following several people back home, but everyone had their own worries and no one paid attention to her.

  How can this be? As a child, adults will definitely not tell you the whole story, what to do? This must be bullied, Song Jie is anxious.

  Ah, got it! Song Jie's big eyes rolled around and she had a good idea. She took advantage of no one noticing and secretly ran to Aunt Li's house to inform on someone.

  Although family ugliness should not be made public, Aunt Li is not an outsider either. With the close relationship between the two families, she will definitely find out sooner or later. Who knows, with the prestige of Aunt Li's family, they might even be able to help. The relationship won't go to waste, it'll expire if unused, but she wants to see who has eaten the guts of a leopard and dares to bully her loved ones.

  Mrs. Li, who was dragged all the way by Song Jie, was completely bewildered and followed her home to take a look, and she was also shocked. What kind of person is Zhao Juan? Doesn't she know that after so many years together, it's impossible for her to be the one who provoked the conflict?

  When Aunt Li arrived, several people felt a bit awkward, but since Aunt Li was kind-hearted, after asking around, Zhao Tong, who had nothing to do with the matter, began to describe his experience that morning in an indignant tone, it was really terrible.

  All of this was caused by that Wu Huahua again.

  Early in the morning, Wu Huahua also went to the market and had to take a tractor. Originally, she didn't get along with Zhao Juan, and after seeing that Zhao's mother came and their family life got better and better, she became even more furious.

  On the way, Wu Huaihua repeatedly provoked with words, Zhao Juan knew her temper, and she had been taken advantage of many times, how could she not remember to fight back? Zhao Juan didn't say a word either, letting her provoke with words there, even when Zhao Mu and Zhao Tong wanted to refute, they were pressed back by her. This kind of person is naturally the more you talk to her, the more energetic she becomes, if you don't talk to her, she will lose her voice herself.

  As expected, seeing that several people did not dare to retort, Wu Huaihua thought she had won the victory, and with her head held high, she let out a cold snort and ignored them.

  Zhao Juan hadn't even reacted, but Zhao Tong was already clenching his fists. If it weren't for his own sister holding him back, he would have beaten him up long ago. Young people are impulsive, and after getting out of the car, Zhao Juan had to persuade her younger brother to let things go and not make a big deal about it. She only mentioned some things about Wu Huaihua to their family members, but didn't mention how she was often bullied by that shrewish woman.

  I thought this matter was over, but Wu Huaihua still hasn't finished and is now being presumptuous.

  At the vegetable market, the two groups of people met again. Whatever Zhao Juan bought, she would rush to buy it too, even if it meant raising the price, truly harming others without benefiting herself.

  Zhao Juan was not without temper either and she also got angry for a moment. However, she is an educated person and cannot just go up and be rough. So Zhao Juan set a trap.

  She deliberately raised the price with Wu Huaihua when buying vegetables again, and as a result, the price was getting higher and higher, making the vegetable vendors laugh so hard that their mouths were crooked.

  Wu Huaihua was originally simple-minded, and after being stirred up like this, she followed suit and raised the price. Who knew that the price would get higher and higher? The price of cabbage had already risen from five cents to one yuan, but a big white cabbage only weighs about half a kilogram!

  Wu Huaihua was really getting a bit unbearable, but for the sake of face she wouldn't admit defeat, and instead called out an even harsher price. Zhao Juan saw that she was somewhat pretending to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and knew that she had already reached her limit. It's best to stop while you're ahead, or else it'll end up being a loss for yourself. If you don't kill the snake with one blow, adding more blows will only make things worse.

  Zhao Juan pretended to be in a state of having no choice but to give up, and stopped bidding with a resentful expression, as if to say "you've taken advantage of me, you win".

  Wu Huai Hua looked at herself and saw that she had won, her nostrils were pointing upwards, and her big pancake face was raised so high that only her chin could be seen. Humph, finally managed to suppress that cheap person's head.

  The vegetable vendor finally finished the dispute and benefited from it. He walked up to her and said, "Thank you for your patronage, sister. Your cabbage weighs four catties and two taels, which is six dollars at one dollar five per catty. I won't ask for more."

  "What? Six pieces? You're killing me!" Wu Huahua's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't believe it would cost so much money. How many catties of pork could this buy? She was really blinded by that fox spirit.

  This money can't be taken out, only Wu Huaihua earns from others, who has others earning from her?

  Wu Huahua wiped her face and sat on the ground, starting to wail: "Why am I so unlucky? You can really bully people. Who sells white cabbage for six yuan? Do you think it's gold? This is robbery, I'll report you."

  The vendor said helplessly, "Sister, you can't say that. You were the one who quoted this price yourself, it's not like we forced you to. Let everyone here be the judge, what do I have to do with this? Isn't paying for things you buy a matter of course?"

  The small vendor was also a bit greedy, thinking that since you're willing to give so much, I'll just take it. Don't refuse what's given, can't let her get the better of me, can a big man like me not even beat an old lady? This money must be taken from her.

  But he didn't know that this wasn't just any ordinary old lady, this was a fighting machine among old ladies! Taking her money is harder than taking her life.

  Wu Huaihua was so angry when she saw so much money, and after listening to the vendor's words, saying something about giving everyone a fair say, her eyes involuntarily swept to the side, seeing that the people surrounding them were all secretly laughing.

  She suddenly realized at this time that she had been fooled by that cheap person. How can this be? Dare to fool me!

  Wu Huahua suddenly exerted a burst of strength, scrambled to her feet from the ground, and without even noticing the mud on her buttocks, she grabbed Zhao Juan's collar with one hand and slapped her head with the other.

  When it comes to fighting strength, ten Zhao Juans are no match for her. With just one slap, she was stunned and a red palm print appeared on her forehead.

  Mrs. Zhao, who was standing by, saw that the woman dared to hit her own daughter and was furious. Mrs. Zhao, who had been a kind person all her life, actually went up to help.

  Wu Huahua grasped Zhao Juan's hair and refused to let go, so Zhao Juan struggled with all her might, kicking and stomping her feet, but it had little effect, as if scratching an itch on Wu Huahua's sturdy body.

  Zhao's mother saw Wu Huaihua beating her daughter, she had never fought before, so she could only hold her and not let her fight back, the two of them were no match for the other person.
