Chapter 573: The Original Female Lead’s Counterattack 8
"Yuan Chun, it’s too chaotic here, let’s go. I’ll take you to the health clinic." Yan Hui moved to Yuan Chun’s side, looking at her disheveled hair, which had been pulled by the village chief’s wife, with both heartache and frustration. "It’s all because I’m useless, and you had to step out to protect me."
Yuan Chun grinned, "You also stood up for me, which is why the village chief’s wife cursed at you. Helping you is helping myself. If someone throws dirt on my name and I don’t come forward to clear it up, wouldn’t I end up carrying the stigma of a damaged reputation for life?"
Yan Hui said urgently, "I will step forward to prove your innocence."
"I know you’re good to me, but because we’re in a relationship, no one will believe what you say. People only like to listen to gossip and rumors. And with someone as troublesome as the village chief’s wife, speaking reasonably doesn’t work. We must fight fire with fire, an eye for an eye."
Yuan Chun smiled playfully, "And what I said about the village chief’s wife is true. I once accidentally discovered her with a man... and I heard their conversation. The four children she gave birth to, not one of them belongs to the village chief."
Yan Hui was utterly shocked, "I thought you were so desperate that you made it up randomly, but there really is such a thing."
"Hmph, I don’t talk nonsense."
Yuan Chun pulled Yan Hui away from the battleground and moved outside, then they saw Wang Shufang standing under a big tree in front of the brigade office.
Seeing Yuan Chun and Yan Hui come out, Wang Shufang walked over eagerly and asked with concern, "Yuan Chun, Yan Hui, what are you doing looking for the brigade leader? It’s so noisy inside. Did someone get into a fight?"
Yuan Chun grinned widely, feeling quite pleased, "It’s the village chief’s wife and a few village women who got into a fight. Shufang, do you want to go in to watch the excitement? Dozens are tangled up together, and the brigade leader couldn’t even pull them apart."
"Oh dear, what to do? The villagers have all gone to work. What if something happens inside?" Wang Shufang looked on the verge of panic, "No, we can’t let them keep fighting, I’ll go to the fields to call for people."
"Alright, you go ahead, I’ll get to work. I’ve been assigned to wash the bok choy again today. Oh, this cold weather, my hands are going to suffer."
"Yuan Chun, I’ll go with you."
Wang Shufang remembered the scheme she had arranged with the village chief’s wife. She glanced at the brigade office and then ran to catch up with Yuan Chun.
Doesn’t matter, her task was the most important. Besides, nobody would die in there, and even if someone did, it wouldn’t affect her task.
...
Inside the house, the brigade leader finally managed to pull apart the tangled crowd after much effort.
The brigade leader, furious and exasperated, said, "Alright, you guys don’t listen to my orders anymore, I’m no use to you, so keep fighting, just fight to death. I’ll send you all to the police station to eat peanuts if someone dies."
"Brigade leader, it’s not our fault, Daquan hit my mom, look, he made my mom’s nose bleed."
"Exactly, brigade leader, he even hit my wife’s nose crooked."
"And my mom’s hand was twisted by him too."
Daquan, in a fit of rage, retorted, "You say I hit your mom and your wife, but why don’t you talk about how they ganged up to hit my mom? Five against one, just look at how they beat my mom’s face."
"Daquan, we didn’t hit your mom’s face."
"Exactly, it was Xia Zhiqing who did it."
