Those three men in the river were close by and were almost deafened by the sharp screams. One of them was Yang Youli, a villager in his forties who specialized in tanning animal skins and fur. Being very serious, he hated such shrewish shouting the most, “Have you finished howling? The water is only chest-deep, what’s the point of swimming like that!”

Liu Zhengshi stopped yelling and steadied herself, “How would I know the water only reaches my chest…”

“What’s not to know? Aren’t your eyes working? Can’t you see your daughter standing there?” Another man, Qian Youfa, also became impatient. He glanced displeasedly at Liu Zhengshi and looked at Liu Xianglian, who hadn’t stopped coughing. “I left my field work unfinished to come here. The water is only so deep, and I had to come to save someone. Now I am soaked and have to go back to change clothes. Your Liu Family should find someplace else to die instead of causing trouble where there are many people. You may have time to spare, but I am busy!”

The third man who went into the river also hummed discontentedly and the three wet men got ashore.

“Aiyo… My dear daughter, are you okay?” Liu Zhengshi went over to support

Liu Xianglian and patted her on the back, “Look how choked you are…”

Liu Xianglian coughed out a few mouthfuls of saliva and finally stopped. Tears filled her eyes, “Mom, Su Qingyue bullied me…”

Liu Zhengshi pointed at Su Qingyue on the shore and cursed, “You wretched girl, how dare you bully my daughter! I will fight you to the death!”

“Weren’t you just trying to fight me?” Su Qingyue laughed, “You ended up in the river, it seems even heaven isn’t on your side.”

“I’ll slap you to death, you ugly wretch!” Liu Zhengshi charged at her again.

Xiao Yuchuan grabbed Liu Zhengshi and raised his hand as if to slap her, “You old hag, watch your mouth! If you dare insult my wife again, I’ll give you a few slaps and throw you back into the river to feed the fish!”

Seeing his fierce face, Liu Zhengshi was a little scared and started howling on the spot, “Everyone, come see how Chuan is bullying us mother and daughter!

A disrespectful beast who dares to hit his elders! ”

“What elder?” Su Qingyue shook her head, “All I see is a shrew. Third brother, since she’s still acting up, throw her back in the river to sober up.” When Xiao Yuchuan heard her call him third brother, her voice was crisp like a songbird emerging from a valley, and it delighted his heart. Without any further words, he followed his wife’s instruction, swung his hand, and threw Liu Zhengshi back into the river.

“Aiyo!” Liu Zhengshi screamed, splashing a large water spray in the river.

“Hahaha…” All the villagers on the shore laughed.

Scared, Liu Xianglian shouted, “Mom!” and hurriedly tried to fish her out, squatting by the stone at the riverbank without going in.

Liu Zhengshi fell headfirst and gulped several mouthfuls of river water. Struggling, she stood up and cursed in the water, “Xiao Family, we’re not done yet!”

Xiao Yuchuan was not someone easy to deal with either, “I’m not done with you, either! If you, old hag, keep running your mouth, I’ll beat you into a pig head!”

Liu Zhengshi started acting like a shrew in the river, “Everyone, look! The Xiao Family is bullying people! They pushed my daughter into the river, then pushed me, this old granny, into the river… Ah… I’m dying! I’m dying! The Xiao Family is going to kill someone!”

In the village, Liu Zhengshi was actually a shrew. Relying on her daughter’s beauty, she not only asked for sixty taels of betrothal gifts from a few poor families who wanted to marry her daughter but also looked down on others. The villagers found it amusing to watch her like this and no one would help her.

PS: I had a fever yesterday, so I only posted one chapter. I’ll slowly make up for the five chapters I owe. There’s four more today, about one every forty minutes..
