Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441: Chronicles of the Seventies (16)

”Going to my house?” Chuzheng asked Wun Sheng.

Wun Sheng shook his head and pointed in the direction of Uncle Da Zhuang’s home.

”You’re still going back? Wasn’t Da Zhuang’s son bullying you before? What are you going back for now, to get beaten?”

Wun Sheng nodded, a dark glint flashing deep in his eyes.

”Fine, suit yourself.”

Chuzheng had Ling Jun take him back.

Wun Sheng watched Chuzheng leave, took a couple of steps forward, seemingly wanting to call out to her.

But in the end, he just swallowed a few times without saying a word.

Ling Jun took him back and handed him everything Chuzheng had given him.

”Brother, these are clothes and food, take them.”

Wun Sheng nodded and accepted them.

Ling Jun gave some instructions and then rode off quickly on his bicycle.

When Chuzheng returned home, Ling Jiaojiao was doing laundry in the yard. Seeing her come back, she almost made a snide remark but then remembered Chuzheng’s recent actions and kept her mouth shut.

But when Zhang Xiaoping came back, the atmosphere wasn’t as quiet.

First, she asked Chuzheng where she had been these past few days, staying out all night and never showing up.

She had just returned with that group of village delinquents with Ling Jun.

Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to respond and simply slammed the door.

Zhang Xiaoping was so angry outside that she almost had a heart attack.

So many days had passed, and that matchmaker was still silent for some reason.

It seems she needs to find a time to talk to the matchmaker and hurry this matter along.

If she lets her stay at home causing mischief, she’ll be driven mad sooner or later.

Chuzheng only found out that her troublesome little brother, Ling Feifei, had returned in the evening.

Ling Feifei was ten years old that year, a total chubby kid.

Both dark and plump.

Just like Zhang Xiaoping, he had a loud voice.

The moment he returned, Chuzheng could hear his shouting.

”Mom, I just heard someone say Ling Daya is up to no good outside.” Ling Feifei shouted in the yard.

Ling Jiaojiao chimed in: ”Absolutely shameless, now the whole village knows, pointing fingers at our family.”

Chuzheng came out of the main room: ”Who saw me being indiscreet with someone?”

Ling Feifei never had been dealt with by Chuzheng, still thinking she was as easily bullied as before.

”The whole village says so, who needs to see?” Ling Feifei said, ”You’re nothing but a disgrace.”

The insults in rural areas were harsh, and Ling Feifei, having grown up there, had learned many insults.

”Mom... Ling Daya is going to kill me! Help, help!!”

Ling Feifei’s pitiful cries could be heard even a hundred meters away.

Zhang Xiaoping heard the commotion and rushed out.

Ling Feifei was the Ling family’s precious one, more treasured than Ling Jiaojiao. Now he was getting beaten by Chuzheng, making Zhang Xiaoping anxious.

”What are you doing, that’s your brother. Let him go!!”

Chuzheng ignored Zhang Xiaoping completely.

Zhang Xiaoping tried to drag him away but ended up falling herself.

”Quick, go call your father back!”

Ling Jiaojiao responded and went to the fields to fetch Ling Shu.

When Ling Shu returned, Chuzheng was no longer in the yard. Zhang Xiaoping was sitting there crying and cursing loudly.

Ling Feifei was bawling so loudly his cries were ear-popping.

”What’s going on here?”

Outside, villagers gathered to watch.

”Seems like Ling Daya beat up Ling Feifei and Zhang Xiaoping.”

”Really?”

”Zhang Xiaoping used to mistreat Ling Daya, now she’s getting what she deserves. Even rabbits bite when pushed too far.”

”I find Ling Daya a bit peculiar, her stare is...”

Cold enough to be frightening.

”Hasn’t she been hanging out with Ling Jun and the others lately...”

”I just saw them come back together, each riding a bike arrogantly.”

The onlookers all had something to say.

Some felt Zhang Xiaoping was asking for it, pushing someone too far.

Others felt that Chuzheng hanging out with Ling Jun was not ladylike.

”What are you looking at, what are you all looking at, get lost!!”

Zhang Xiaoping told Ling Jiaojiao to close the door.

These people were treating them like a joke, and Zhang Xiaoping couldn’t stand it.

Ling Shu, with a headache, had Ling Jiaojiao help Zhang Xiaoping inside for rest and then calmed down the still-crying Ling Feifei.

Ling Feifei’s butt was swollen from the beating. Being the Ling family’s pride, Ling Shu’s anger also rose uncontrollably.

Bang, bang, bang—

”Ling Chuzheng, open the door!”

Ling Shu’s shout was full of vigor.

Chuzheng opened the door: ”What do you want?”

Her gaze was chilling, and Ling Shu shivered involuntarily, his momentum weakening instantly.

”You... why did you beat your brother?”

”If they bother me again, I’ll beat him again.” Chuzheng folded her arms: ”Keep them in line, don’t provoke me, and we can live peacefully.”

Ling Shu glared: ”You...”

”Anyone who provokes me, I’ll beat Ling Feifei next time.” Chuzheng said maliciously: ”Don’t believe me, just try.”

Ling Feifei, that chubby kid, couldn’t even run away. Beating him was easy.

Someone had to pay for their mistakes, right?

Ling Feifei, being the family’s hope, ate the best, wore the best, used the best, and had to bear this duty.

Ling Shu seemed shaken by Chuzheng’s words, looking at her as if she were a monster.

Is this still his daughter?

Why... has she become like this?

”Dad, is there anything else?”

”...”

Ling Shu was so creeped out by Chuzheng calling him ’dad’ that he got goosebumps everywhere.

He, a grown man, felt fear at this moment.

With a wooden expression, Ling Shu returned to his room, where Zhang Xiaoping immediately started a string of unpleasant words.

”Shut up!”

Ling Shu scolded sharply.

”Why are you so fierce!! Ling Shu, do you think just because I’m like this now, you can do nothing to stop me?”

Ling Shu shot Zhang Xiaoping a fierce glare.

After all, Ling Shu was a man. At that moment, his vicious glare startled Zhang Xiaoping.

”Don’t provoke Daya again. Let her do whatever she wants.”

”Didn’t you see her beat Feifei? Look what she did to him... Does she look like a good sister?”

Zhang Xiaoping was dissatisfied.

”If you want her to beat Feifei again, keep doing it this way.”

After saying that, Ling Shu left the room to warn Ling Feifei and Ling Jiaojiao.

Ling Jiaojiao came over with a face full of displeasure to find Zhang Xiaoping.

”Mom, when are you finally going to marry her off?”

”Didn’t the matchmaker not get back yet?” Zhang Xiaoping was annoyed too: ”Once we get a response, we’ll handle it. That troublesome girl can’t stay here any longer.”

”Mom, do you think she’s possessed?”

She was never like this before.

Never fighting back when hit, never answering back when scolded.

And now suddenly changed like this...

Also, she even broke up with Xu Dawei.

Of course, Ling Jiaojiao was happy about this, but thinking of her actively breaking up with Xu Dawei, Ling Jiaojiao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

As if she was picking up something discarded by her...

”That troublesome girl is definitely weird.”

She had thought before that she might be possessed.

”Alright, Mom will urge the matchmaker. Once she’s gone, it’ll be better.”

Ling Jiaojiao thought about it and agreed: ”Then hurry, Mom. I’m going crazy with her around.”

Zhang Xiaoping acknowledged: ”Come rub my back.”
