Gu Yundong snorted and punched him in the stomach.
Liangzi almost vomited. He widened his eyes and scolded with difficulty, “Stupid… girl.”
Liangzi’s family, who had just run over, looked up and saw this scene. They immediately rushed up to hit her. “Where did this bitch come from? She just came to our village and dares to deal with our village. Do you think there’s no one in our family?”
The person who scolded him was Liangzi’s mother, Jin Yuexiang. She was in her forties and was running on her feet.
The first to rush up and hit her was Liangzi’s father, Hu Qianlai. His large palm slapped her head like a bowl.
However, just as he arrived in front of Gu Yundong, he heard a sneer. Then, he felt a pain in his stomach and fell back two to three meters.
“Tsk.” Fortunately, Hu Qianlai was strong. Otherwise, he would not have fallen back, but would have flown back.
But even so, Gu Yundong’s kick still stunned all the onlookers present. Jin Yuexiang, who had been cursing and running over, suddenly stopped. Her voice was stuck in her throat like a duck that could not breathe, and her face was filled with shock.
The scene was dead silent.
Gu Yundong retracted his leg and patted the bottom of her pants. She then asked with a smile, “You rushed over to shout for a fight the moment you arrived. It was clearly your son who was caught stealing into my house. As parents, aren’t you ashamed and apologetic? Instead, you’re finding trouble with me, the victim. With parents like you, no wonder your son became a thief.”
Her voice finally made everyone react.
Jin Yuexiang hurriedly ran to Hu Qianlai’s side and helped him up.
Hu Qianlai was furious, but his stomach hurt too much. He didn’t expect this girl’s feet to be so strong, like an adult man.
The two of them immediately did not dare to go forward and attack anymore. However, when they saw their son tied up there, their hearts still ached and they were angry. They could only stand far away and curse, “Whose son is a thief? You’re the thief, woman. Don’t tell me you’re trying to blame my son for being a thief when you’ve stolen something? I see that you’re dressed alluringly and indecently at such a young age. You might have been caught by my son last night. Now, you’re a thief and you’re calling my son a thief.”
The pain in Liangzi’s stomach finally eased. He didn’t see his father being kicked away. When he came back to his senses, he heard his mother cursing. He hurriedly nodded and echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. We realized that she had an ambiguous relationship with someone, which ruined the reputation of our village. That’s why we couldn’t stand it and wanted to catch her in the act. I didn’t expect that man to know how to punch and kick. He knocked the four of us unconscious.”
As he spoke, he felt as if he had found the truth. He became even more excited as he spoke. “That man caught us the night before yesterday and locked us in the house for the entire day. Look at the injuries on our faces. This is how they came about. He wanted us to admit that we stole money.”
The more Liangzi spoke, the more he felt that this was the case. Otherwise, why would they faint the moment they entered the courtyard the night before? They had been hungry for the entire day yesterday and had been beaten up for the entire day.
He did not believe that a little girl like Gu Yundong could do this. She definitely had a lover.
However, what he said made sense. The surrounding villagers felt that it made sense and began to whisper to each other.
On the other hand, Liu Guihua spat out a melon seed shell on Liangzi’s face. “Are you shameless? Who in our village doesn’t know what kind of person you are? Everyone knows how sneaky you are. Aren’t you afraid of retribution for slandering a young lady?”
Liangzi glared at her fiercely. “How am 1 slandering her? I’m not the only one who saw it.. If you don’t believe me, ask Zhuangzi and the others, right?”
