CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 315: THE FEAR OF SUDDEN SILENCE

The other two also pushed their wives away.

The three brothers glared at Madam Rong with a menacing air.

"How did you treat my sister? At your age... how could you have the nerve to bully a young girl?"

"That’s right, you better explain yourself here and now. Why did you bully my sister? If you don’t make it clear, don’t even think of stepping out of this doorway."

"Why waste words with her? Since she splashed water on our little sister, it’s only fair we splash it back on her."

...

Li Family’s three sisters-in-law: ...

What kind of men did they marry?

How sinful.

All three were afraid their husbands would make a big fuss, something they couldn’t stop. If they couldn’t do anything about it here, couldn’t they at least bring Li Juan out?

So, the three went straight back to fetch Li Juan...

Meanwhile, Rong Yan had also arrived. As she stepped in, she happened to catch this conversation, and her eyes flashed dangerously, "I dare you to try."

Her emphatic statement took everyone in the courtyard by surprise.

Except for those who weren’t home that afternoon and hadn’t seen Rong Yan’s fierce demeanor, those at home had indeed seen it with their own eyes.

So, when those people saw Rong Yan walk in, they couldn’t help but recall the afternoon’s events.

Now... this was going to be a spectacle.

However, everyone was worried for the mother and daughter, after all, no matter how formidable they were, they were still women.

And the Li brothers... had been famous for getting into fights around here since they were little.

Some people with a sense of justice did stand up and came over, ready to intervene...

Madam Rong saw her daughter coming to her side and her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, "Why did you come?"

She signaled with her eyes for her daughter to leave.

If a fight really broke out... she was afraid her daughter would be at a disadvantage.

The Li brothers seemed a bit stout.

She didn’t believe these three men would dare to hit her?

But as for hitting her daughter, that was another matter.

Rong Yan pretended not to see her mother’s look and coldly faced the three men, "If you dare splash one drop, I’ll make you wish you were dead."

The brothers glared back at her.

"Do you really think we wouldn’t dare? My sister got splashed with water for no reason, so it’s only right that we repay the favor."

"Ptui! Your sister shamelessly came to our house, pleading for Ming Liping who got into the police station, preaching about morality and righteousness. She unfoundedly accused my daughter. Is her brain not working? Does she think it’s her place to plead for someone the police want to arrest? Not to mention her relation to the Ming Family, with her sense being so clouded, she shouldn’t be coming out causing trouble, especially when you can’t get rid of her."

"I’ve lived to this age and I’ve never seen someone with such thick skin. People who don’t know any better might think she was a Ming Family daughter-in-law!"

Everyone: ...

That was true—didn’t they all know that Ming Liping had a crush on that Ming Family boy? She probably fancied herself as his younger sister.

Both Ms. Li and the three Li brothers were furious.

"Don’t slander my daughter here. She just couldn’t stand to see you treating a young girl like that. What’s wrong with being kind-hearted?"

"That’s right, my sister just can’t bear to see you harm others."

Madam Rong: "Ptui, harm others? Are you implying you don’t accept the police’s decision? Then what are you muttering about here for? Go on, take it up with the police station."

"Also, with Li Juan acting the way she does... calling her kind-hearted? She’s nothing but a White Lotus Saint Mother. Pretending to be kind-hearted while doing disgusting, thick-skinned things. And she insists on clinging to our house without leaving. Why doesn’t she go to the police station to plead for the Ming Family if she’s so capable?"

"Let me lay it down right now, whatever she wants to do, she can go ahead, but if she talks nonsense and comes to our house again, don’t blame me if next time I really do splash her with something far worse."

What kind of thing does she think she is?

Kind-hearted... Well then, why doesn’t she give her food, clothing, and money to those poor people, huh?

The Li Family couldn’t understand the terms "White Lotus Saint Mother", but they did catch the meaning implied by the latter part of her address.

This really infuriated them.

Mother Li never laid a hand on anyone herself; instead, she routinely ordered her three sons around, and this time was no exception.

"Are you three brothers dead? She’s already questioned your sister this way, and you still haven’t thrown her out for me..."

The three sisters-in-law, who were in the process of dragging Li Juan out, felt sick at their mother-in-law’s words.

Hit her?

What if something goes wrong?

Was it to beat her into the hospital, or to death and face jail time?

However, they knew full well they had no way to stop the men, so they pushed Li Juan slightly, "A disaster is about to happen, and you’re still not rushing to stop your brothers..."

Li Juan had just changed out of her wet clothes when she was pulled out by her three sisters-in-law, which made her quite unhappy.

Now seeing her three brothers ready to teach the mother-daughter duo a lesson, she was too pleased to be delayed, so why stop them?

"My brothers know what they’re doing; don’t rush them... They’re just scaring them, that’s all."

The three sisters-in-law: "..."

The fight was about to break out; what kind of "scaring" was this?

Those people were not young; how could they withstand the punches of young, strong men?

But there was no time for the sisters-in-law to protest further.

Because, to their horror, they saw the three brothers really throwing punches...

It was over, completely over.

The Qin Family was not to be trifled with... they were practically courting death.

They also felt some displeasure towards the Rong mother and daughter... Were they this arrogant? They caused trouble without even understanding the situation properly.

The rest of the crowd thought roughly the same; it looked like injury was inevitable for the mother and daughter today.

Someone stepped forward trying to intervene, "Li Shi, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk this over calmly..."

"Get lost, this is our family’s business, it’s none of your concern," Li Hai immediately glared at the person who spoke.

Then the three brothers stopped feigning punches because, when they had been doing so, the mother and daughter pair didn’t back down, so they had to leave them with an unforgettable lesson.

They needed to let them know that there are some people they simply cannot provoke.

The three men planned to land a punch each... and that would be the end of today’s matter, they would control their strength to avoid causing serious injuries.

Madam Rong had never anticipated that these three men would actually dare to lay hands on women, and her expression turned very ugly in an instant.

Before she could even pull her daughter back, she saw her daughter sweep the legs from under the men... and then.

There was no "and then", for the three men were that weak that they just fell to the ground.

Madam Rong: ...

The crowd: ...

Mother Li: ...

Li Juan: ...

The three sisters-in-law from the Li Family: ...

Good heavens! What had they seen?

The three women thought they had seen incorrectly and couldn’t help but rub their eyes. Then... they confirmed that it wasn’t the mother and daughter who had fallen.

It was their men.

The air suddenly became eerily silent, even the two-legged beasts... chickens, hens, and chicks in the courtyard stood still.

After a long while, the three brothers broke the silence.

They quickly recovered from their disbelief, rapidly got up, and hastened to throw punches at Rong Yan...

Determined to reclaim their lost honor.
