Chai Da is easy to bully, but Long Yue is not someone to be trifled with.
It hasn't even been two hours, and have you already forgotten the incident where I scared you? Do you think just because there's someone next to you, you can act wild towards me?
Heh, you really need a good lesson!
A sinister smile appeared on Long Yue's face as she quickly stepped forward. Before Aunt Liu could react, "smack," a slap landed hard, immediately swelling half of Aunt Liu's face.
"Ah, you little bitch, did you hit me?"
Aunt Liu covered half of her face and shrieked, while a woman next to her frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law of the Li family, you're going too far! Sister Liu just spoke the truth, why do you have to hit people?"
"The truth?"
Long Yue's cold gaze looked over, and the woman was so intimidated by Long Yue's stare that she forgot what she wanted to say.
Seeing her weaken, Long Yue curled her lips into a smile.
This person is the second daughter-in-law of the Qian family, known as a kind-hearted person in the village. Her son attended the school in town and later became an official, revealing her true nature—arrogant, domineering, and proud. She even secretly helped her son plot against her own husband.
Therefore, Long Yue had no fondness for her.
"Yeah, who doesn't know you had an affair, which is why you got kicked out of your house, you shameless hussy... smack!"
Aunt Liu, oblivious to the imminent danger, continued to curse while clutching her face, only to receive another slap from Long Yue.
"Ah, you hit me again! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Having been slapped twice, even a pig would be angry. Aunt Liu, disregarding everything else, rushed forward, trying to grab Long Yue's hair with both hands.
But how could she catch Long Yue? Long Yue effortlessly dodged like a fish, grabbed Aunt Liu's hair with a swift motion, and delivered several more slaps.
In no time, Aunt Liu's cheeks were swollen high, resembling a pig's head.
"Li family, let Sister Liu go, if you continue beating her, you'll kill someone. Do you believe we'll take this matter to Mr. Li Zheng?"
The other woman spoke up, but she looked at Long Yue with some hesitation, her tone lacking the fierceness of Qian Erniang, and she didn't dare to curse like Aunt Liu.
This woman was the daughter-in-law next door from the Zhang family. A while back, she said something bad about Long Yue under a tree, and Long Yue happened to overhear it, resulting in a beating. To this day, her arm and back still hurt, so now she was afraid whenever she saw Long Yue.
Long Yue cast a disdainful glance at them, then looked down at Aunt Liu, who now resembled a pig head, and suddenly kicked her in the butt to send her rolling.
"Scram!"
She shouted coldly. Qian Erniang wanted to say something else but eventually became frightened too. Together with the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, they hurriedly helped Aunt Liu down the mountain.
"Third sister-in-law is amazing, the bad guys all ran away after being beaten!"
Li Qingqiu was overjoyed to see the bad guys run away, and he cheered happily.
Long Yue just said indifferently to go back; they were nothing but clowns to her, not worth her attention at all.
Chai Tieniu didn't know what to say. Rumor had it that the third sister-in-law of the Li family was fierce and tough; today, he witnessed it firsthand. He couldn't help but think about the sickle he had seen her put away before. Chai Tieniu felt a little embarrassed, could that python have been her prey?
Did I steal her prey?
As they descended the mountain, Long Yue and Li Qingqiu brought home a large yellow chicken and a basket of harvest. Right at the door, Second Sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang was hanging laundry, and with sharp eyes, she saw the big yellow chicken in Li Qingqiu's hands and happily approached them.
"Wow, A qiu is amazing! You actually got such a fat chicken. Cook it soon, so I can take some home for my sister to nourish her body."
As she spoke, a pair of hands reached out, but Long Yue quickly slapped them away, and she coldly said, "If you want to eat chicken, make it yourself. This is for my husband and parents to nourish their bodies. Your sister has nothing to do with us. Qing Qiu, take the chicken inside!"
"Ah, okay!"
A qiu glanced nervously at Mrs. Zhang, then took the chicken inside. However, Mrs. Zhang began to throw a tantrum, shouting, "Pfft, what nonsense are you talking about? She's my sister, and I'm a daughter-in-law of the Li family. My sister is weak and needs more nourishment, why can't she eat it? A qiu, come over here and give me the chicken!"
A qiu instinctively hid behind Long Yue, who sneered, "You said you're a daughter-in-law of the Li family; a married daughter is like water splashed out, never have I seen a daughter-in-law like you. Mrs. Zhang, if your heart truly belongs to that family, you can leave the Li family anytime! You haven't had a child even after three years of marriage. If I were the mother, I would've already kicked you out, instead of letting you act wildly here in the Li family!"
"Ahem!"
Mrs. Li Zhou happened to hear the commotion as she came out and caught Long Yue's words, coughing awkwardly.
Mrs. Zhang already disliked Long Yue, especially because Long Yue had been married into the family for a month and hadn't done any work, which made Mrs. Zhang extremely jealous.
Now being scolded just hit a nerve. She immediately went berserk, grabbing a bamboo stick from the side and thrusting it towards Long Yue.
"Pang, you bitch! Today I'm gonna tear your mouth apart!"
Long Yue remained expressionless as she effortlessly caught the bamboo stick with one hand. Mrs. Zhang tried hard to push the stick onto Long Yue, but just as she was putting all her strength into it, Long Yue suddenly let go of it.
"Bang!"
"Ah——"
Mrs. Zhang rammed straight into the stone wall opposite, her forehead swelling into a big bump, causing her to grimace in pain.
Luckily the bamboo stick helped reduce the impact, otherwise, her forehead might have split open.
Everyone in the Li family was speechless at the scene, looking at Long Yue with fear, and equally terrified was Chai Tieniu, who stood outside the door, stunned.
The third daughter-in-law from the Li family truly had great skills. I really did steal her prey earlier!
But since he was already here, he had no choice but to brace himself and enter.
"Is this... the Li family? Uh... third sister-in-law, this is snake meat, thank you for your earlier help..."
Long Yue worried this guy might mention Lingzhi, so she quickly interrupted with a cheerful smile: "Brother Chai, thank you for the snake meat! Ah, there's a bit of family business here, so we can't entertain you, okay!"
She diligently saw Chai Tieniu out the door, and after returning, she saw Li Zhou and Mrs. Zhang eyeing the snake meat, practically glowing with desire.
Long Yue was about to say that nobody should covet this snake meat when Li Qingmu, who had been absent the whole time, suddenly appeared with gentle eyes: "Wife, you've been busy all day, you must be tired. Shall we go back to the room together?"
"Hey..."
Before Long Yue could react, she was dragged into the room by Li Qingmu.
With a bewildered face, she found herself pushed against the wall by this man, confused: "What are you doing... um..."
Before Long Yue could speak, Li Qingmu suddenly leaned down and fiercely kissed her, biting her lips mercilessly.
"Li Qingmu, um, you..."
The feeling of suffocation washed over her for what felt like eternity. To her, it seemed like seasons had passed before she could catch her breath, angrily pushing the man in front of her away: "What are you doing?"
Li Qingmu lowered his eyes, a look of indulgent panic flashing briefly before it was replaced by determination. His tone remained gentle: "You are mine, no one else can touch you. If I see that Chai Da again, I won't be polite."
