A ragged cub at the beginning

Chapter 72: Hit Me If I Hit You

Tang Xu paused for a moment, "Sister Xingzi, take Wang Chunhua to the back to clean up. Come on." She called out, heavy at the front and light at the back, "Come on, go play with the brothers and sisters, Qiyue! Take this little sister to play."

"Here I come." July ran out of the mushroom house happily and reached out to hold Zhao Laier's hand.

Zhao Laier retracted his hand in fear, took a step back and looked at his mother. Wang Chunhua looked around and saw that they were all children, so she comforted them, "Go play, don't be naughty."

"Okay." Zhao Laier then put her little hand into July's palm. This brother's hands were so white and clean, unlike her hands which were black and dirty, but her brother did not despise her.

My brother is so nice, she thought.

"My name is July."

"I'll call her."

"Come on, come on, it sounds like come on, come on, I'm calling you come on sister."

"Okay, Brother July."

Zhao Laier smiled for the first time since arriving here.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chunhua’s matter was not over yet. The next day, Tang Xu was waiting in the shop to be recruited.

A large group of men with carrying poles and hoes came to the door, led by Wang Chunhua's abusive husband. His arms were slung with a cloth strip, and because the injuries were concentrated on his back and legs, they could not be seen on his face. As soon as he came over, he pointed at Tang Xu and said, "That's the woman."

After being trained by Tang Ling, Tang Xu's martial arts improved. She was a little arrogant after beating up the domestic violence man yesterday, but now more than ten or twenty people surrounded her with weapons, she was still a little scared. She didn't bring any hidden weapons, otherwise she would have knocked them all down.

"Are you the one who beat up Zhao Dagou from our village? And you also took away his wife and children?" An old man came out with a cane, his face serious.

Wang Chunhua's wounds could not be covered up, and it was impossible that no one in the village knew about it. This old man should be the elder or the village chief. If he wanted to take care of it, he might be able to do so. They were all accomplices, and yet he dared to come and demand her return.

Tang Xu sneered, "It was me. Yesterday, it was me who broke the hand of such a strong man in your village. He came to my shop to make trouble, and I beat him up. What do you think? I don't know how many hands of the men in your village can stand up for others. But I didn't rob anyone. Don't slander me in broad daylight."

The few people who followed frowned uncomfortably when they heard this, and then quietly took a step back. They were just trying to get out, and getting hurt was not an option.

"You insolent boy!" The old man slammed his cane, "Hand over Wang Chunhua, her mother and her two daughters."

Tang Xu was furious and shouted, "You guys should beat her to death? Zhao Lai'er was only four years old, and she was beaten all over. Wang Chunhua has countless scars on her body. Tell us which village you are from, so that everyone will remember. In the future, we must not marry into your village, otherwise we won't know how our daughter died."

Zhao Xiongbang's face froze, and he looked at the people watching on both sides, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't listen to her nonsense, there is no beating in our village."

Tang Xu sneered, "You know whether she was beaten or not, otherwise why would she run away? If she didn't run, she would be beaten to death. Only a fool wouldn't run. I hope she runs farther and faster."

"Just beat her! Every woman needs to be beaten! Hand over Wang Chunhua!" Zhao Dagou said, "Otherwise I will smash your shop."

"Why don't you try it?" Tang Xu sneered and spun his feet on the ground.

Zhao Dagou immediately shrank back, but when he thought of the large number of them, he was not afraid anymore. He stretched his neck and said, "You said that yourself! Uncles and brothers, you have to make the decision for me."

Zhao Xiongbang glared at Zhao Dagou fiercely and said nonchalantly, "Wang Chunhua was lazy and didn't work, and she couldn't give birth to a son. She was just beaten a few times, but she didn't kill her. It's not a big deal. But you, haven't you heard that it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage? What's the point of hiding someone else's wife and children? Don't you have any elders to teach you?"

"Listen, she didn't beat her to death, that's a small matter, the feeling is that she is not your daughter. Old man, your daughter married in your village?" After Tang Xu finished speaking, she remembered that if a man who treated women like this would love his daughter, would he love her? No. She laughed at herself, "Forget it, you people who don't treat women as human beings, you will not love your daughters either."

"Stop talking nonsense and hand the person over now." Zhao Xiongbang hit the crutch again, making a dull thud.

Like Wang Chunhua's resistance, dull and useless.

"I'm afraid Wang Chunhua will be beaten to death by you when she goes back. Then you will roll up the mat and say she died of illness, or throw her into the water and say she drowned. Who in the world will remember this woman? I think about her two daughters. They were raised in a hurry. They worked from the age of four to thirteen or fourteen as long as they were fed. Then they were sold to a family that paid more and made another fortune. Who will remember whether she lived a good life or married a good person? Ha." Tang Xu said, feeling sad. "From the moment she was born, she started working until she could walk, and then she married and made a fortune. She served her husband and parents-in-law at her husband's house, and did all the housework by herself. If you give birth to a daughter, you are a sinner. If you give birth to a son, one is too few, two is not many, three or four is the best. And all of you were born from women's bellies. Who do you think you are degrading? Aren't you afraid of retribution? If there were no women in this world, would there be you? You look down on your wife and beat and scold her at every turn, and you look down on your daughters and abandon them at will?"

These words were like heavy drums, hitting every woman's ears. Those who had been beaten quietly stroked their wounds, tears welling up in their eyelashes.

Zhao Xiongbang was stunned for a moment by her sharp words, "Okay, okay, you are so sharp-tongued, you are just making trouble!"

"Grandpa." A young man came out, supported Zhao Xiongbang, and said, "This lady is putting such a big accusation on us. We can't afford it. We just want to get Uncle Zhao's wife and children back. Please don't make it difficult for us."

"You're talking as if I tied up Wang Chunhua. I don't know where they are." Tang Xu glanced at him, "Which village are you from? Do you dare to tell me?"

"That's right, tell us what you think."

"Especially those with girls should listen carefully."

"Why do you hit other people's daughters?"

"Once you marry someone, you belong to someone else's family. It's okay to hit them if they don't obey you."

"That's right, he didn't kill me."

"It's not okay to hide someone else's wife and children."

There are many different opinions. Some think that you should just hit her, while others think that men who hit women are incompetent.

"You are not married yet, right? Don't ruin your reputation because of other people's affairs. When running a shop and doing business, reputation is very important." The young man said with a smile again.

"Hand him over quickly."

"Hand it over!"

"Hurry up and hand it over!"

Seeing that the momentum was in their favor, the people brought by Zhao Dagou became restless.

If it was when she first came here, Tang Xu might have been afraid. Now she has confidence, not only because of her martial arts, but also because of her family. She glanced at Tang Ling, Tang Yao, and Tang Qing who were standing at the outermost edge, and said disdainfully to Zhao Dagou and his gang, "Such a large group of people bully a girl like me, they don't even care about their dignity. I said I don't know where she is. Does Wang Chunhua have legs or a mouth? Can I still lock her up?"

"You took away my wife and children, do you have any shame? How could such a thing happen in the world?" Zhao Dagou shouted.

"Your hand was broken by a woman, you are just a loser who dares to bully the people in the room." Tang Xu didn't even bother to look at him, and said lazily: "Whether you can understand what I say, I don't know where Wang Chunhua is."

"Hand over my daughter-in-law." A dark and fat woman rushed out from nowhere, "You are the one who beat my son?"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out and grab Tang Xu. Tang Xu dodged and kicked Zhao Dagou's ankle without leaving a trace. Zhao Dagou screamed in pain, her body tilted and fell to the ground, she began to cry and screamed that someone was murdering her and bullying an old woman who had no one to rely on.

Tang Xu raised his hands innocently, and after thinking for a moment, he began to change the subject, "What? I didn't touch you. A whole village of people came to me, could they be trying to extort money?"

Hearing about the money, Zhao Dagou's mother took the opportunity to say, "Of course you have to pay! You beat my son like this! Pay me!"

Tang Xu had an expression that said, "As expected, he is here to extort money, but didn't I pay for the medical expenses?"

"You are lying! When did you give it to me? I didn't receive it at all!" said Zhao Dagou.

Tang Xu picked at his nails and said, "I gave it to Wang Chunhua. Isn't she your wife? It's right to give it to her, right?"

The village chief's grandson signaled for someone to take Zhao Dagou and his mother away. "Don't say anything else, girl. We don't want money, we just want you to hand them over. If you insist on not handing them over, I will go to the county and sue you for trafficking."

"We dare not admit the crime of trafficking. You have so many people surrounding my fiancée, what do you want to do?" Du Yun pushed the crowd in and blocked Tang Xu behind him. "Do you have any evidence to prove that she hid the person?"

"Yesterday, Wang Chunhua came with her luggage and her child to find her!" said Zhao Dagou.

Du Yun looked at Tang Xu, who lied with his eyes open, saying, "She came to work, but her husband made trouble, so I beat him up and he ran away. I thought I had to pay for the medical expenses since his hand was broken, so I gave it to Wang Chunhua, and she took the money and left."

Anyway, few people in the town knew Wang Chunhua, so what if they recognized her? Would there be someone who was nosy enough to send her back?

"But you were speaking for Wang Chunhua just now. Just because you say you don't know, does that mean you don't know?" said the village chief's grandson.

Tang Xu said with compassion, "I am not speaking for Wang Chunhua, I am speaking for all the women who are not treated as human beings by you."
