Zhu Yueju’s lips swelled rapidly, taking on a terrifying shade of red and purple.
“What’s happening? What’s going on?” Village chief Li Youcai, while preparing for the meeting, witnessed the fight and rushed over to intervene. “Stop, all of you, stop it!”
Su Wen halted and flung the stool to the ground, her piercing gaze shifting from Zhu Yueju’s face to Li Youcai’s, and finally to Sun Dahai and the Sun Dahe brothers, who had hurriedly approached to assist Zhu Yueju.
Despite their annoyance at Su Wen’s stare, Sun Dahai and his brother approached Zhu Yueju and helped her up. Everyone in the courtyard had overheard Zhu Yueju berating Su Wen earlier, but the brothers had feigned ignorance, secretly revelling in her humiliation. No one anticipated Su Wen’s sudden outburst, smashing the stool in retaliation.
Zhu Yueju screamed, knowing well that no one in the village dared to challenge her as they feared being targeted by a lunatic.
“You… You…” Sun Dahai hesitated, refraining from uttering his thoughts due to Zhou Hengyang’s piercing gaze.
Zhou Hengyang’s eyes, tinged with mockery, swept over Sun Dahai. He walked over to Su Wen, carefully holding her hand. Upon realizing that her fingers had left red marks due to her tight grip on the stool, his thick eyebrows furrowed in concern.
“Does it hurt?”
“What?” Su Wen was puzzled.
She had been the one to hit her, so why was he asking if she was hurt?
“Does your hand hurt?” Zhou Hengyang’s eyes softened with a touch of pity.
“No, it doesn’t hurt at all.”
Only then did Su Wen comprehend his concern. She felt embarrassed, she had displayed no dignity or manners, raising a stool to strike someone. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hengyang showed concern for her after what she had done.
The male protagonist was exceptional!
Feeling embarrassed, Su Wen replied, “It doesn’t hurt at all.” Despite the visible red mark, she denied the pain.
“Don’t do this in the future. No matter the situation, let others handle it. You don’t have to take matters into your own hands,” Zhou Hengyang quietly resolved to work harder, intending to provide Wenwen with a better life. She shouldn’t have to face such situations, including fights.
“But I prefer doing it myself. It helps me vent my anger,” Su Wen softly explained.
Zhou Hengyang was left speechless.
“As long as you’re happy,” he responded.
“Su Wen!” Li Youcai understood the situation and angrily rebuked, “How could you do this?” He felt disregarded as a village chief.
“I’ll handle the situation from here,” Zhou Hengyang said, pulling Su Wen behind him.
“Okay!” Su Wen readily assented. She appreciated having someone to clean up her messes, it made her life stress-free.
Apologizing to Li Youcai, Zhou Hengyang said, “I’m sorry, village chief. I’ve caused you trouble.”
Li Youcai choked, unable to express his frustration. The real troublemaker wasn’t Hengyang, so he couldn’t confront him.
“What do you suggest we do now?” Li Youcai asked.
“We’ll cover the medical expenses,” Zhou Hengyang replied with a graceful smile, addressing Old Man Sun. “How much do you need for compensation?”
For some reason, when Zhou Hengyang mentioned compensation with a smile, no one dared to object.
