Eighties Reborn: The Return of Yan Gui
When Jing Xiaoyue tumbled into the paddy field, she fell flat on her face, ending up with a mouthful of mud. It was with great difficulty that she managed to stand up, only to find herself surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. As a sixteen-year-old girl with a strong sense of pride, she immediately felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. She climbed out of the paddy field and ran towards Jing Yanguis side along the ridges, cursing as she went: 'Jing Yanguis, you cheap thing, you actually made me fall into the paddy field and eat mud, just you wait, Ill kill you!' In the countryside, there is no shortage of foul language, and Jing Xiaoyues crude words were all learned from Liu Chunhua. Jing Yanguis knew Jing Xiaoyues temperament all too well; it would be strange if she didnt fly into a rage over this incident. Of course, she wasnt going to just stand there foolishly and let Jing Xiaoyue hit her. So she let out a loud cry and ran forward along the small path beside the village canal, shouting loudly as she ran: 'Help, Xiaoyue is going to kill me!' 'Xiaoyue, it was you who fell into the paddy field yourself, why are you chasing me to hit me?' 'Wuwu, Xiaoyue, dont hit me anymore! I wont tell mom about this!'
After running along the canal, she continued along the main road of the village, screaming and crying bitterly, yet maintaining a proper distance from Jing Xiaoyue as she ran, preventing Jing Xiaoyue from catching up. Her pace also gave Jing Xiaoyue the illusion that with just a bit more effort, she could catch up and beat her severely. When Jing Xiaoyue fell into the paddy field earlier, her shoes were covered in mud, making it very inconvenient to walk. In order to chase after Jing Yangu, she simply took off her shoes, her hair came loose, her eyes were red, and she looked completely crazy. Jing Yangu, on the other hand, chose to walk on the road with more stones, the hard stones causing excruciating pain to Jing Xiaoyue's bare feet. The two sisters, one running ahead and the other chasing behind, were on the stone road in the middle of the village, creating a great commotion. The villagers busy in the fields were somewhat surprised to see this scene. Previously, Liu Chunhua always spread rumors in the village, claiming that Jing Yangu was domineering and unreasonable at home, while Jing Xiaoyue was knowledgeable and sensible. However, the situation before them now seemed completely different, with the unreasonable person appearing to be Jing Xiaoyue. Some villagers had already gone to find Liu Chunhua from the Jing family: 'The Jings' big house, something happened to your Xiaoyue, she fell into the paddy field, and now she's chasing after Yangu, beating her all over the village!' Upon hearing that Jing Xiaoyue had fallen into the paddy field, Liu Chunhua immediately felt extremely distressed, ignoring the last sentence. She stood up and said to Jiang Yilou, 'I'll go take a look!'
Afterwards, she hurriedly ran off. Jiang Yilou's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a brief thought, he followed as well. Liu Chunhua had just stepped out of her house and hadn't walked more than twenty steps when Jing Yangu came running and crying out, 'Mom, save me, Xiaoyue is going to kill me!' Liu Chunhua couldn't care less about her, seeing Jing Xiaoyue disheveled, covered in mud, and seemingly with blood on her feet, her heart cramped with pain. She pushed Jing Yangu aside and went up to Jing Xiaoyue, asking, 'Xiaoyue, what happened to you?' Jing Xiaoyue could no longer run at this point. She was fine when she didn't see Liu Chunhua, but as soon as she saw her mother, she felt an unbearable pain in her feet and collapsed into Liu Chunhua's arms, saying, 'Mom, Jing Yangu pushed me into the paddy field, making me swallow a bellyful of muddy water, I'm so ashamed!' 'She deliberately wanted to make me lose face today, Mom, help me beat her up!'
Liu Chunhua felt as if she was about to explode. Jing Yangu and Jing Xiaoyue had run back like this, causing such a commotion. It didn't matter if Jing Yangu lost face, but Jing Xiaoyue's behavior today, running around in this state, was probably a real disgrace! Furious, she no longer cared about pretending to be a virtuous wife and mother, and she swung her hand back towards Jing Yangu's face. Jing Yangu was not surprised by her reaction. While Jing Xiaoyue was speaking, she had quietly moved aside. When Liu Chunhua's palm struck, she simply squatted on the ground, clutching her head and crying out in pain. Then Liu Chunhua's palm hit the face of Jiang Yilou, who was just approaching. Jiang Yilou: '...' Jing Yangu was also surprised. She had only intended to dodge Liu Chunhua's slap, but she had not expected it to land on Jiang Yilou's face. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped turning. Liu Chunhua stood there stupefied, and after a while, she blurted out incoherently, 'Sister Jiang... I'm... I'm sorry! It wasn't intentional, it's all that wretched girl Jing Yangu's fault...' As she spoke, she seemed to find her backbone and immediately glared at Jing Yangu, saying, 'You wretched girl, you made a mistake and you still dare to dodge, causing me to accidentally hurt Sister Jiang. Just wait until I kill you!' After saying that, she was about to strike again, but Jiang Yilou grabbed her hand and said, 'You only heard one side of the story from Jing Xiaoyue, and you didn't even ask the full story before you started hitting people. Jing Yangu is your daughter too, and she has a head injury. I think you should ask clearly first.'
Jiang Yilou couldn't care less about the Jing family's troubles, but she couldn't just take Liu Chunhua's beating without responding. As a cultured person, she couldn't retaliate directly, so naturally, she had to stand up for Jing Yangu.
As soon as Jiang Yilou spoke, Liu Chunhua didn't dare to refute and only said, "Xiaoyue has always been sensible and well-behaved, she never lies, but Yangu is not like that, most of the things she says are not true..."
"I don't know whether Jing Xiaoyue is sensible or well-behaved," Jiang Yilou interrupted Liu Chunhua, "but we saw with our own eyes that Jing Xiaoyue chased and beat the injured Jing Yangu."
Her meaning was clear: Jing Xiaoyue, like a shrew, chased and beat Jing Yangu, how could she be sensible and well-behaved! Liu Chunhua was simply lying through her teeth!
As soon as she finished speaking, a nosy auntie who loved to watch dramas said, "That's right, Jing Xiaoyue chased Jing Yangu through half the village today! The second daughter of the Jing family is fierce! The eldest daughter is too timid, she only knows how to hide and doesn't fight back!"
Liu Chunhua's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Jing Xiaoyue actually chased Jing Yangu through half the village! It was all over, the image she had painstakingly created for Jing Xiaoyue was going to be completely ruined!
And that despicable Jing Yangu, who was usually taught to be submissive, actually dared to run when Jing Xiaoyue wanted to beat her! It was as if she wanted to fly to the heavens!
She was furious and immediately retorted, "What happens in my family is none of your damn business!"
After snapping at the auntie, she reached out and poked Jing Yangu's forehead while saying, "Say it yourself, did you push Xiaoyue into the paddy field? You're so big, how can you still be so careless! How can you be so bad!"
Jing Xiaoyue felt proud to have Liu Chunhua speak up for her, but she said with a grievance, "Exactly, my sister is so bad! Not only did she push me into the paddy field today, but she also made me lose face so horribly! She doesn't act like an elder sister at all!"
