158 Protective Family (3)

Eldest Aunt brought Gu Qingming to seek justice from Shi Bangqing.

However, on the way, they were a little surprised.

First, it was the woman Shi Bangqing brought back. She was crying as she ran, carrying bags of things.

Other than hearing the cries, they also heard the woman scold, “Shi Bangqing, you bastard. Coward. It was such a good plan to frame that family and it was all destroyed by him. Hmph, with that cowardly appearance, he deserves to be bullied by those people.”

Her aunt’s eyes flashed as she listened to her.

What did this woman mean?

Who was she trying to frame?

If she didn’t guess it wrong, the people she was talking about were probably her mother-in-law and the others, right?

As the woman was muttering these words, she noticed that someone in front of her had heard her. She glared at her fiercely and said loudly, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen someone scold someone else?”

Li Hongmei had followed Shi Bangqing to Stoneback Village a few days ago.

After arriving at Stoneback Village, she was busy chasing away Shi Bangqing’s wife, Yuan Chunjiao. She was currying favor with the two old people, so she did not have the chance to walk around the village. She naturally did not know what status and prestige Gu Qingming’s external family had in the village.

The day before, she was busy framing Yuan Chunjiao, so she did not have the mood to observe the surrounding villagers. Therefore, other than knowing a few men and women who appeared, she did not know most of them.

Her aunt and Gu Qingming were in a range she did not know.

Being scolded for no reason, Eldest Aunt naturally retorted angrily.

“Are you a mad dog? You bite anyone you see! It’s none of your business where I look!”

Li Hongmei was scolded back. She was angry from being beaten up, but she had reached her peak.

She roared, “You old woman! How dare you say it’s none of my business when you are looking at me.”

When she scolded her aunt, she glanced at Gu Qingming, who was good-looking, and jealousy flashed across her eyes.

She suddenly pointed at Gu Qingming and roared, “An old woman with a little vixen. Which man are you trying to seduce?”

Hearing this, Eldest Aunt was so angry that her face turned ashen. This person was really a lunatic.

Eldest Aunt raised her hand and was about to slap her face.

However, someone was faster than her.

Gu Qingming was also angry.

In one day, she had provoked this unexpected calamity and was called a vixen twice. She was furious.

She, Gu Qingming, had been pampered since she was young. When had she been scolded as a vixen?

Gu Qingming’s aura was awe-inspiring. She shot a cold gaze at Li Hongmei and said coldly, “Who are you? What right do you have to scold my aunt and me? I’m warning you. If you dare to say anything bad about us again, I’ll tear your mouth apart right now. Do you believe me?”

Li Hongmei held her face that had been slapped again, her expression filled with shock and disbelief.

She stuttered, “You… you… you hit me?”

She had never expected this harmless-looking person to hit someone so fiercely.

“Your mouth is too foul. Why can’t I hit you?” Gu Qingming said coldly.

At this moment, Shi Bangqing chased over.

“Hong…”

When he arrived and saw Li Hongmei, he was stunned again.

Li Hongmei’s current appearance was really ugly.

She had been slapped twice by Third Aunt, by Shi Bangqing, and now by Gu Qingming, so her entire face was swollen like a pig’s head.

The most disgusting thing was that her makeup was all ruined.

Her eyeshadow was smudged, and the black eye shadow liquid was smudged into panda eyes. Then, tears flowed down her face like black lines. Her face was pink and rosy. Hehe, it was even worse.

Whether it was up close or from afar, hehe, she looked like a zombie that had appeared after hundreds of years. It was extremely terrifying. However, she was not aware of it.

Seeing Shi Bangqing’s arrival, Li Hongmei instantly felt wronged.

She cried as she wiped her tears. She pointed at Gu Qingming and said, “Boohoo… Brother Qing, this vixen… She bullied me. She hit me. Boohoo, no one has hit me since I was young, but after you came here, they all hit me. Boohoo…”

She thought that if she cried to Shi Bangqing in a pitiful manner, Shi Bangqing would comfort her like before and get back at the people who bullied her.

However, today, her zombie appearance had already frightened Shi Bangqing. If she continued to act pitiful and coquettish, Shi Bangqing would be disgusted.

It was too ugly!

Shi Bangqing was so shocked that he could not speak or respond.

However, before Shi Bangqing could react, Gu Qingming’s aunt looked at him and became angry.

She spat at him and shouted, “Shi Bangqing, why didn’t you keep the bitch you brought back at home properly and let it out to bite people everywhere? She scolded us for no reason! Let me tell you, slapping her is still considered light now. Once my mother-in-law and father-in-law know. Hmph, it’s not as simple as a slap!”

When Shi Bangqing heard this, his anger rose again.

Why did this troublemaker provoke this family again in such a short time?

Was his family at odds with this family?

In the beginning, his mother was still arguing with this family. Later, Li Hongmei provoked this family twice.

Shi Bangqing was not Li Hongmei. He knew the power of this family in the village.

He immediately smiled apologetically at his aunt. “I’m sorry, Sister-in-law. Hongmei is in a bad mood now…”

“Oh, can she flare up at us just because she’s in a bad mood?” Aunt said angrily. “How did my niece offend her? Why did she scold my Mingming like that?”

“Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I apologize to you on behalf of Hongmei. I’ll talk to her properly later.” Shi Bangqing apologized and continued, “Well, you’re magnanimous. Please forgive her this time.”

Her first aunt sneered and said, “Hehe, it’s not impossible to forgive her. Now, you have to apologize to my Mingming immediately! My niece came to our place to play, not to suffer.”

“Alright, alright.” Shi Bangqing nodded and said, “How about this? Sister-in-law, I’ll apologize to your niece on behalf of Hongmei. I’m sorry for making you suffer.”

Gu Qingming said coldly, “Uncle, ever since I was young, be it at home or outside, I’ve never been wronged. However, today, in one day, I was first scolded by your mother and now by your woman. Do you think I’m an outsider and easy to bully?”

“Hmph, let’s see who dares to bully her again!” Eldest Aunt put her hands on her hips and said fiercely and domineeringly, “Do you really think there’s no one in our family? Shi Bangqing, my mother-in-law is making a fuss at your front door. Hmph, your house will be torn down by my parents-in-law. Mingming, let’s go!”

Gu Qingming ignored the two of them and left with her aunt.
