CHAPTER 379: CHAPTER 313: LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

Madam Rong felt her fists harden, as if she was restraining herself from slapping the woman in front of her, all for the sake of the other being a young girl.

"My daughter is fine, and we don’t need the likes of you to come here preaching. And what’s more, you keep mentioning the Ming Family—just who are they to you? What relation do they have with you that necessitates your pleading on their behalf?"

Li Juan’s face uncontrollably reddened when she was asked about her relationship with the Ming Family.

"...We’re all neighbors here... I didn’t come to plead, I just want you to distinguish right from wrong. You can’t take out your anger on others just because of one person’s mistake. And Sister Liping, she’s about the same age as your daughter, how can you bear to ruin her life? Auntie, please let this matter go, let Sister Liping and Uncle Ming return home, don’t sue them anymore... What wrong could they have done?"

"...Even if they made no mistake, they were simply deceived by others. As long as they are human, this kind of failure to discern people’s true nature is certainly inevitable..."

The more Madam Rong listened, the more displeased she became, "Are you not right in the head, girl? Whether they’re in the wrong... that’s for the police to judge, do we have such capabilities?"

Li Juan, hearing her words, thought that what she had just said was having some effect.

Her eyes immediately brightened significantly.

"Auntie, as long as you don’t press charges and speak to the police station, they will definitely release Sister Liping... I think we should not delay, why don’t you go right now? The station has officers on duty at night too. For a young girl like Sister Liping to be kept there, it’s not right..."

"Mom, why bother talking so much with someone who doesn’t understand human language? You’re just wasting your saliva. Just tell her to get lost."

Rong Yan had seen this kind of people before... Weren’t there such people portrayed on TV? Speaking their own views without listening to others, this kind of people had their own set of ideologies.

She stepped forward, grabbed Li Juan by the collar of her clothes, and then began dragging her out.

Li Juan was stunned... She was being dragged away involuntarily.

This scenario was all too familiar; wasn’t Xu Ke’s mom dragged out in the same way that afternoon?

Instantly, her face turned beet red, of course, from anger.

"Rong Yan, how can you do this, let go of me immediately..."

Rong Yan couldn’t be bothered to say another word to her, dragged her outside, then dropped her onto the ground, and dusted off her hands.

Looking down from above at the person trying to get up from the ground, she said, "Don’t howl at my doorstep again. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might end up doing."

After dropping this remark, she closed the front door.

Li Juan had never been so humiliated in her life. She was furious and moved forward to pound on the door, "Rong Yan, come out, I haven’t finished speaking..."

Hearing the knocking outside, Madam Rong’s face turned even darker. Seeing her daughter return, she asked, "What happened this afternoon? Why did she come to our house?"

Because her mother came back late, Rong Yan hadn’t recounted the afternoon’s events.

"Let’s talk about it later. I’ll go and deal with that lunatic outside first."

Otherwise, with that lunatic’s perseverance, she might stand at their doorstep for hours on end.

Madam Rong hadn’t even begun to ask.

She then saw her daughter grab a basin of water and head out...

Seeing this, Madam Rong’s mouth twitched a bit. She wanted to intervene, opened her mouth, but ultimately, she said nothing.

Suddenly, Rong Yan opened the door.

Li Juan, still pounding on the door, almost stumbled in due to inertia, but she managed to steady herself just in time.

Seeing it was Rong Yan, she became extremely angry, "Rong Yan, how can you..."

The words following were immediately cut short as she was doused with the entire basin of water.

"...Ah...!"

Rong Yan looked coldly at the bedraggled figure: "Don’t show up at my doorstep again. If you come knocking once more, next time it won’t be clean water like this. I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be doused with footbath water and pot scrubbing water."

Having said that, she closed the door once more.

Li Juan was choked by the water she had just been splashed with and couldn’t catch her breath.

Her whole body was sopping wet from head to toe.

Ah ah ah... She was going insane.

She wanted to go forward and pound on the door again, but looking down, she realized her clothes were now clinging tightly due to being soaked.

Her body curves were embarrassingly outlined, making her face instantly flush as if on fire.

How could she stay any longer to settle the score with Rong Yan?

With an "Ah" sound, she quickly covered her chest with her hands, turned, and ran away...

Madam Rong, watching her daughter come back holding the now-empty basin, twitched her mouth.

"...In the future, you don’t have to be so..." She searched for the right words but couldn’t find any.

It seemed like her daughter might just be too ferocious.

Lucky she’s already married; otherwise, with her fierce demeanor, ready to fight at the drop of a hat, she probably wouldn’t have been able to get married.

Thank goodness for her son-in-law.

"This is the most effective method. See, it’s quiet now, isn’t it? If I hadn’t noticed just now, she wouldn’t have even been able to come in."

Who would have thought that someone could be so shameless, to just run straight into someone else’s home.

Madam Rong: ...

It sounded quite right.

That girl wouldn’t stop jabbering away, giving the impression that she couldn’t understand what others were saying.

"Tell me what happened this afternoon? What about this person?"

Rong Yan slowly began, "This afternoon it was Xu Ke’s mother who came, and then I dragged her to the police station..."

She gave a brief rundown of the events.

The angrier Madam Rong heard, the more she regretted not being at home that afternoon.

If she had been home, she should have surely torn that Xu woman’s mouth apart.

How dare she come to her house and create a scene?

"Well done!"

When Rong Yan heard her mother’s comment, the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly.

Madam Rong: "That Li Juan, does she live at the entrance of the alley?"

Rong Yan: "I suppose so! I don’t really know..."

Madam Rong took off her apron and handed a bowl that hadn’t been washed yet to Rong Yan.

"You wait at home, I’ll be right back."

She had to pay a visit to the Li Family. If she didn’t take the initiative to raise a query... no, she was going to seek explanations.

If she didn’t approach the Li Family to question what kind of person they were raising, it was likely that they would come to her house to seek trouble.

Rong Yan holding the bowl: ...

When she came to, her mother had already left.

So the question was, should she follow her mother now, or should she not?

Forget it, better to follow. What if all the people in the Li Family were heavy-handed? Then her mother would be at a disadvantage.

She motioned to Qin Mei, "Meimei, stay at home, I’ll be back soon."
