Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Splashing Dirty Water

Guiying suffered from premenstrual pain, her chest swelling and aching unbearably in the days leading up to her period. She never kept this private, often discussing it openly with the neighborhood women while chatting in the alleyways.

Chiang Xiao remembered that now were those few days.

Because a few days later Guiying had shamelessly used her period to disgust Chiang Songhai in the most vile way.

Chiang Xiaoʼs bump was delivered with vicious intent. Guiying screamed in pain, her face twisted with agony as she clutched her chest, nearly unable to stand upright.

Sucking in breaths, her voice quivered, ”Chiang Xiao, you, you dog spawn raised without parents...”

Such words were truly venomous when directed at a thirteen-year-old girl.

If Ge Liutao hadnʼt been holding him back, Chiang Songhai really would have lost control and struck her.

His daughter Little appeared stubborn, but she was incredibly sensitive at heart. She couldnʼt bear to hear someone say she lacked parents, and yet Guiying purposely jabbed at her sorest spot!

Chiang Songhai was worried that Chiang Xiao couldnʼt handle hearing such words, but then he saw her grab a nearby broom and strike Guiying with it again.

”My parents will come back sooner or later, and if they know how you cursed me, theyʼd surely tear your filthy mouth apart and dunk you in a cesspit, to match the stench of your mouth! Itʼs Ding Dani from your family whoʼs the dog spawn, with a heart so black itʼs charred, and you still have the audacity to come to my place asking for compensation? Iʼm going to sue her! Ding Dani pushed me into the creek, thatʼs attempted murder! How could some ordinary cloth suffice as compensation? I want her to soak in the water for half an hour, to suffer with burns for days! Otherwise, I wonʼt let this pass, neither with her nor with your family!”

Still feverish, Chiang Xiaoʼs complexion was flushed. She cursed while gasping for air, yet her words stunned the few people inside the house.

Guiying, while fending off the blows and dodging, seized the broom after hearing Chiang Xiaoʼs retort, glaring at her with fiery eyes.

”What nonsense are you spouting? How could Da Ni push you down? She was trying to save you! You little wretch, how dare you slander my Da Ni...”

”Let Ding Dani confront me! Weʼll take it to Secretary Uncle! If she doesnʼt dare to go, it means she has a guilty conscience!”

Chiang Xiao declared loudly, staring back at Guiying with eyes just as fiery.

To go to Secretaryʼs place?

The Secretary of Siyang Village, Yao Jubin, was a man who could not tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes and he loathed anyone who disturbed the peace and unity of Siyang Village. Moreover, he was known for his fairness, and everyone in the village was rather intimidated by him. Guiying and her husband Ding Daqiang had previously gotten into fights with others and were on Secretary Yaoʼs blacklist, deserving closer observation.

He held high expectations for the village youths, demanding much from them, especially those in middle and high school. To his eyes, they were the seeds that could bring honor to Siyang Village. Should any of them stray from studying well, they would inevitably receive a severe scolding from him. During meetings, he would even call out individuals for criticism, scolding with a face as stern as Justice Bao.

Therefore, these children feared him the most, referring to him behind his back as Black Yao.

The moment Guihua heard Chiang Xiao suggest going to Secretary Yao, she instinctively believed her a little, immediately feeling conflicted.

Could it really be that Da Ni pushed her?

No, she had to go home and ask that wretched girl properly.

Though doubt had crept into her mind, she still yelled fiercely, ”How busy do you think Secretary Yao is? Do you think you can bother him with just any little issue? Do you intend to go there and play the victim? Iʼll tell you, Chiang Xiao, Iʼve seen how you latch onto Deshengʼs hand, sobbing, then you make Desheng buy you treats! And Old Li from the front alley, every time you go to buy soy sauce, you smile like a blooming flower. Old Li, who has been widowed and yearning for years, has had his soul bewitched by you. Either he pours you an extra spoonful of soy sauce or he gives you a couple of sweets, hoping with these trifles to coax you into letting him touch your body to satisfy his cravings. Pah! Theyʼve all been fooled by your little act, but you canʼt fool me!”
