Hearing these words, Li Shu's fury skyrocketed . "You rotten woman, how dare you tell lies . " He wanted to rush forward and beat this woman to death .
Having gotten the audience that she wanted, Xing-niang looked at the spectators and pointed at herself, "Fellow villagers, you're all witnesses . Look at how inhumane Li family's third son is being . He's bullying me in broad daylight, ah . Look, even my clothes had been torn open . Seeing that I wouldn't comply with him, he even hit me, ah . Fellow villagers, you have help me and right this wrong . "
Hearing these words, Li Shu's fury skyrocketed . "You rotten woman, how dare you tell lies . " He wanted to rush forward and beat this woman to death .
Li Man desperately clung to his waist to stop him, but it was impossible for her strength to be a match against his . She almost fell over, but fortunately, Little Five came forward and helped her . "Third brother, oldest brother said before that it's not okay to fight . "
"That woman deserves to be beaten . I can't let her off . " Although Li Shu was still feeling very angry, Little Five's words had an effect . It was true that he liked to fight . But, after each satisfying brawl, he would be faced with a round of beating from his oldest brother once he returned home . It really wasn't worth it .
Still, that woman's rotten mouth was too maddening .
Just as the situation had reached a point where it couldn't be peacefully resolved, Li Mo returned home with a bamboo pole and two full buckets hanging from it . Seeing that there were several people surrounding his home and Xing-niang sitting on the ground while she cursed and cried, he quickly came to a rough understanding . He asked Li Shu, "Third brother, what happened?"

Before Li Shu had time to respond, Xing-niang had already hurriedly pushed herself up from the ground after seeing Li Mo . She tearfully shouted, "Aiyo, Li family's oldest son, you finally returned . Your family's third son is utterly devoid of conscience . He bullied me . Seeing that I wouldn't comply him, he even hit me..."
Li Mo stared at her with a severe gaze . Xing-niang's heart thumped for a beat . Feeling a bit guilty, she stopped speaking .
Li Mo turned his head and said to Li Shu, "Third brother, tell me what happened . " Everyone in the village knew exactly what type of person Second Shun's wife was . Although his younger brother was a short-tempered person, he wouldn't hit someone without a reason .
"Oldest brother, that rotten woman has been going around to spread lies about our wife," Li Shu angrily said .
"Who's telling lies? This old mother has only been saying the truth . Everyone, look at that girl . Look at her beautiful face and figure . Her skin looks young and tender enough to squeeze out water . Could an ordinary family have a daughter as fresh-looking as her?" Seeing that more and more people had come over to spectate, Xing-niang wasn't scared anymore . Instead, she wanted to make the situation worse . It wasn't fair the Li brothers were protecting that woman in every possible way while she had been married to that useless person and had to endure the villagers' supercilious looks .
"Shut your mouth!" Li Mo and Li Shu berated in unison .
Xing-niang felt that she had suffered a loss today . Even if she had to die, she would drag someone down with her too . Her eyes flickered to look at Li Man's body . With an insincere smile, she said, "Humph! I wonder, this girl is in the budding beauty stage of her life, and she looks so beautiful . How could they have been willing to sell her?"
