Chapter 115: One Versus Two
Everything they said revolved around her fertility, her hourglass figure, and how she had the perfect body for having baby boys.
There were too many of such incidents. Each time, Xiaoguo would run away in embarrassment.
Xiaoguo reached under her clothes and tightened her undergarment, which loosened during her sleep. The string was getting too short for her to secure the garment. After putting on her outer clothes, the chest area felt tight.
She had to either lose weight or make some new clothes.
Xiaoguo made a decision!
Make new clothes…
She could not even get out of bed in the morning. So she should forget about trying to lose weight. How could she give up fish and meat just for that bit of extra weight? It would be such a loss!
She would rather make more clothes, than go jogging to lose weight.
Besides, her weight gain was quite obedient. She had gained weight in all the right places. Hers was the type of figure that many would die for. Why should she make things difficult for herself?
When Xiaoguo got out of bed, there was no sign of Zhuang Zhuang waking up. Since there wasn’t much to do, Xiaoguo covered him with a blanket and let him continue sleeping.
She went to wash up.
She had just emptied the basin when there was a knock on the door.
Xiaoguo went to open the door.
“Sister-in-law?”
Xiaoguo looked at Mrs. Yang, who was outside the door, and felt a little curious. Ever since her husband, Yang Feng, returned, Mrs. Yang had not visited her for a long time. Not wanting to be intrusive, Xiaoguo did not visit Mrs. Yang either. She wondered why Mrs. Yang was free to come over today.
“Xiaoguo, I heard that something is happening at Li Zhaodi’s place!”
Mrs. Yang was gloating and asking Xiaoguo to go check out the commotion.
Ever since Li Zhaodi insulted Xiaoguo with the word widow, Mrs. Yang had regarded her as an enemy. She would mock Li Zhaodi whenever she had the chance. This morning, regardless of who she bumped into, she would tell them about what was happening at Li Zhaodi’s house.
She went straight to Xiaoguo without even going home.
“Hey, Sister-in-law…”
Mrs. Yang dragged Xiaoguo towards Li Zhaodi’s house, seemingly afraid of missing the show.
Xiaoguo was dragged out of the house. Fortunately, she managed to close the door when she left. Judging from Mrs. Yang’s enthusiasm, she wouldn’t be back anytime soon.
As they approached Li Zhaodi’s house, they saw that her door was surrounded by people watching the commotion. They were whispering to each other and looking into the house.
As the door was surrounded by people, Mrs. Yang had to bring Xiaoguo to a higher spot so that she could see the situation in the courtyard.
As soon as Xiaoguo got on an elevated spot, the first thing she saw was a dark mass of heads.
Xiaoguo’s lips twisted into a mirthless smile. It turned out that there were quite a number of residents in Peach Blossom Village. She had not seen all these people before. As soon as there was a commotion, everyone came to check things out.
“Hey, Auntie, what’s going on?”
Mrs. Yang stopped a woman who was walking out from the crowd. She looked like she knew what was going on in the house, so Mrs. Yang grabbed her arm and asked.
“Hey, Li Zhaodi’s man is back!” When the woman saw that it was her, she quickly stopped and told her everything she had heard.
It turned out that Li Zhaodi’s man had returned. However, he had brought back a woman. She was quite beautiful and people have heard that she was a prostitute from a brothel. The three people had been fighting since dawn.
When Xiaoguo heard this, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They were fighting? Li Zhaodi must be quite capable. To think that she could handle two people on her own!
So those screams that sounded earlier had come from her house?
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she wanted to ask more questions. However, before she could say anything, another loud shout came from the courtyard, followed by curses.
It was Li Zhaodi’s voice. She still sounded so energetic!
When the lady saw that something was happening again, she immediately ran into the crowd
Mrs. Yang was also very curious. Looking at Xiaoguo’s thin arms and legs, Mrs. Yang decided to squeeze in and take a look herself. She was strong and had a strong physique, so she would have no problems squeezing through the crowd. Xiaoguo would probably get stuck once she entered.
She instructed Xiaoguo to wait for her while she went in first. She would come out and tell her more when she had taken a good look.
Xiaoguo nodded and watched as Mrs. Yang disappeared.
Xiaoguo admired her spirit. She definitely could not do this. It was better for her to stand around and listen to the sounds.
“Li Dahai! You bastard, how can you let me down!”
Li Zhaodi grabbed the woman in Li Dahai’s arms and slapped her. The woman screamed and cursed.
The woman was released from Li Dahai’s arms and her face was revealed. Her face was covered in scratches. Li Zhaodi had left bloody scratch marks all over her face.
At first, the woman seemed submissive. She allowed Li Zhaodi to hit and scold her, it seemed like she was powerless to fight back.
Initially, this was her strategy to stir up Li Dahai’s desire to protect her. However, she slowly realized that Li Dahai was so afraid that he did not even dare to make a sound. He could only hide and tremble in a corner.
Sensing the woman’s gaze, Li Dahai lowered his head in shame. He is fearful of Li Zhaodi when she gets into a state of frenzy, he can forget about saving the damsel in distress. The red marks on his face were still burning.
The woman spat at him. How did such a useless thing become an official? He must have gotten lucky. If not for the fact that he still had some money, she would have left him long ago. To think that she even followed him back to this lousy village.
The woman sneered and grabbed Li Zhaodi’s hand off her hair with all her might. She pushed Li Zhaodi hard and the latter fell to the ground.
“You!”
Li Zhaodi looked at the woman in surprise. What was going on? She wasn’t fighting back just now. Why was she suddenly so strong?
It didn’t take long for her to react. She got back on her feet in an instant, and lunged at the woman. She then grabbed her hair with one hand and punched her chest with the other.
The woman also grabbed and hit her. However, how could she compare to Li Zhaodi, who often worked in the fields?
In a few moments, she was pressed to the ground. Li Zhaodi sat on top of her and beat her repeatedly.
She could only try her best to protect her face. There was nothing else she could do.
When Li Dahai saw his lover being beaten up by his vicious wife, he was driven by a rare stroke of courage. He took three steps forward and pulled Li Zhaodi up.
Li Dahai had been in the military camp for three years and had some strength. Li Zhaodi was a woman after all. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t compare against a man.
“Juan’er, are you alright?”
Li Dahai didn’t even look at Li Zhaodi, who had been thrown to the ground by him. His eyes were filled with pity as he helped the crying woman up on her feet.
“Brother Dahai… it hurts.”
The woman named Juan’er knew the way to arouse a man’s pity.
As soon as Li Dahai helped her up, her expression changed. She looked at Li Dahai with tears streaming down her face. Although she still despised his cowardly appearance, this was not the time to talk about it. The most important thing now was to pull Li Dahai into her camp and fight against Li Zhaodi with him.
Her mind raced as she thought about what to do next.
When Li Dahai saw that she was crying so pitifully, his heart ached. His masculinity instantly manifested.
He glared at Li Zhaodi and panted heavily. “Don’t f*cking embarrass yourself. Juan’er is mine. If you accept it, you can stay. If not, just get lost!”
With that, he carried the crying woman back into the house.
