The moment the carriage entered the village, they saw many people running toward the west side with excited expressions. Clearly, there was some new commotion to watch.
The family members of the hired hands stopped when they saw Ji Huan. After greeting her, they couldn't help but chat for a moment.
Ji Huan stepped down from the carriage and asked what was going on. "What's everyone rushing to see?"
"What else? A good show!"
"Whose show? The Ji family's!"
"You have no idea! I heard your fourth... that Ji the Fourth was beaten by his wife!"
"My daughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes! She came back and told me the beating was so bad, he stopped breathing..."
'Stopped breathing?' Ji Huan was genuinely shocked. 'Is Du Baozhu that ferocious?'
A passerby overheard and chimed in, "What do you mean, stopped breathing? Stop spouting nonsense. They called for a doctor, and he was revived."
The smile that had just begun to form on Ji Huan's lips immediately faded.
