Chapter 42: I will teach you by setting myself as an example, it won’t go wrong
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xinghong didn’t realise that something was fishy.
She thought for a moment and asked Old Lady Xiao, “Old Lady, did that wretched girl mess up with you guys instead?”
Old Lady Xiao and the rest were even more unhappy.
What was she saying?
Did that wretched girl really hope that Xiao Hanzheng’s wife had messed up with them?!!
Old Lady Xiao’s face darkened. “Do we need a wretched maid to take care of our matters?”
She turned to look at the rest. “If a maid doesn’t respect her master in a big family, what should we do?”
Mdm Wu smiled and said, “Mother, I heard that if a maid doesn’t listen, we have to slap her mouth.”
Old Lady Xiao swept a cold glance at the muddled Xinghong. “Then slap her mouth. I’ll leave it to the two of you.”
Mdm Wang had been itching to hit someone for a long time.
She was still furious and displeased that Shi Qingluo hit her the previous time.
Now, she also knew that this wretched servant girl had stopped them from enjoying better lives in the capital.
And there was another shameless little hoof in the capital.
How dare an orphan girl look down on them.
Hence, with the new and old grudges, she pounced towards Xinghong.
She grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground.
Her entire body weight was on Xinghong’s body.
She slapped her left and right.
Xinghong did not expect that Old Lady Shi would let Mdm Wang and the rest to hit her.
Was her brain damaged?
Why did she come out of the courtyard and begin to target her?
Did that wretched girl instigate this?
“Ah!” The pain on her face stopped her from thinking further.
She screamed as Mdm Wang continued to slap her.
She kept resisting, but Mdm Wang, who often did manual chores, was much stronger.
As she continued to resist, Mdm Wu also went forward and grabbed her hair and kept pinching her body.
Xinghong’s face was in pain, and her entire body was hurting from the pinches.
She kept crying and shouting, “Old lady, I was wrong. Tell them to stop! Don’t listen to that wretched girl’s provocations. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly. “Spat, you little slut. If you are doing this for our own good, why did you lie and stop us from going to the capital?”
After she blurted, Xinghong was stunned.
Old Lady Shi was even more certain that Shi Qingluo was telling the truth.
This little slut had been toying with them all along.
This was too detestable.
“You still want to continue treating us as fools? In your dreams.”
Old Lady Shi could not hold it in any further.
She walked over and was about to kick Xinghong’s face, but was stopped by Eldest Grandson Xiao.
He pulled Old Lady Shi to the side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Grandma, don’t kick her face. Otherwise, she won’t fetch a good price.”
Old Lady Xiao also reacted. “Right, can’t hit her face.”
Then, she rushed over and kicked Xinghong’s stomach and waist a few times to vent her anger.
Then, she said to Mdm Wang, “Don’t hit her face. It won’t be good if she’s ugly.”
Mdm Wang was stunned at first.
Then, she saw her son making a “sell” mouth gesture to her.
She also thought of selling her to the brothel the next day.
If her face was damaged, they wouldn’t be able to fetch a high price.
Thus, she stopped slapping her face.
Instead, she pulled her hair and pinched her all over her body.
Mdm Wang and Mdm Wu were strong and were excellent at pinching others.
Xinghong was in so much pain that she kept struggling and crying as she begged for mercy.
On the other hand, Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang opened a crack in the door and looked towards them.
They were both excited to vent their anger.
Mother Xiao was also near the door.
When she heard that the domineering servant girl who often provoked Old Lady Shi and rest was being suppressed and beaten, she also found it very satisfying.
Just now, she was in the backyard with her two children.
When she heard the voices of Old Lady Shi and the rest, she was afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would be bullied and instinctively ran back to the front yard.
However, before she reached the yard, she saw her daughter-in-law, Old Lady Shi and the rest gathering together and using all kinds of tricks to deal with that scumbag and that slut.
She did not go forward. Instead, she pulled her children to hide by the wall.
She was afraid that she would affect her daughter-in-law’s performance if Old Lady Shi ended up scolding her.
She only brought these two children out after Old Lady Shi and the rest left.
Before she could sit down, she heard them beating and scolding outside.
Hence, she went to the door and listened, while the two children peeked through the door.
After a while, Mdm Wang and Mdm Wu were tired from beating.
Only then did they let go of Xinghong who was already covered in tears and snot.
Seeing this, Old Mdm Shi felt relieved. “Drag her back to the woodshed. Tonight, let her reflect on herself. A servant girl wants to be the master. What a joke.”
They could only properly discuss how to sell the house and land after locking her up.
Mdm Wang and Mdm Wu nodded. “Alright!”
Thus, the two of them grabbed Xinghong’s hair and dragged her back to the old residence.
After they left, Mother Xiao and her two younger children returned and sat down in the courtyard.
Xiao Erlang said excitedly, “That bad woman was beaten up so badly. It felt so good to watch.”
Previously, that bad woman had instigated his third and fourth cousins to hit him and let his eldest uncle and aunt beat his mother up.
Now, she deserved it.
Xiao Baili smiled and said, “It’s so satisfying!”
Although Mother Xiao did not say anything, she pursed her lips and smiled.
She was very happy.
“Sister-in-law, you’re really amazing!” Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang’s admiration for Shi Qingluo deepened.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, “To deal with these ultimate villains, we have to deal with them in a targeted manner.
“For our family’s ultimate villains, provocation is useless, so we have to use our fists to deal with them. Once they’re afraid, they won’t dare to come and act like demons anymore.”
The main reason was that their scumbag father hadn’t returned from the capital, so they were unable to reach an agreement to deal with them.
Therefore, they had to counter violence with greater violence.
She paused for a moment before saying, “To deal with the old residence’s villains, who have greedy hearts and want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of labour, and that scumbag father and that bad woman in the capital, we have to lead them into the dog-eat-dog world first.
“After they have bitten, fought and disgusted each other, we will then attack them.”
“I see.” Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang looked as if they were deep in thought. They were clearly thinking about Shi Qingluo’s words.
Mother Xiao also felt that it was very reasonable. She said to the two of them, “You should learn more from your sister-in-law in the future.”
Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang nodded. “Yes, we should be as powerful as our sister-in-law in the future.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and encouraged them. “You guys will definitely be able to do it. I will teach you by setting myself as an example, it won’t go wrong.”
Xiao Hanzheng stood at the side and looked at his mother, younger brother and sister who had already started to be led astray.
He was really impressed by his wife’s righteous behaviour.
However, he had to admit that her actions just now were indeed very satisfying and useful.
It was better to lead a family astray than to endure bullying like the past.
He asked Shi Qingluo curiously, “How did you know that that woman raised her younger siblings in the general’s residence, and my scumbag father even found a good job for her younger brother?”
Shi Qingluo blinked her eyes innocently. “I didn’t know that. I was just making it up.”
She added, “Anyway, as long as we stir up their emotions towards that woman and that scumbag father, that’s good enough.
“Furthermore, considering how much your scumbag father is prioritising that woman, isn’t it normal for him to raise her younger siblings and help them to arrange jobs and marriages?”
Xiao Hanzheng listened.
This nonsense actually sounded pretty reasonable.
The key point was that she had made the whole thing up.
His little wife was really amazing.
