Chapter 211 -212: Old Fat Lady_1

Mrs. Chui gritted her teeth; today she would not let this wench escape unscathed.

Muniang, still with an innocent face, said, “Your family came to make trouble in our house earlier, and that’s bad enough. Now you’ve teamed up to slander me; by what right are you bullying us like this?”

Qingya too leapt up, “Exactly! Whatever you say goes? Everyone in our household can testify that our lady had no idea about any of this!”

Mrs. Chui, fuming with rage, said, “We’ve just come from your house. If it wasn’t you who drugged him, could it be that Laicai drank the aphrodisiac himself?”

Muniang had been prepared for this and her eyes were already brimming with tears. “You’ve come to our home to cause trouble over and over. Last time, you brought people from the underworld to our doorstep, nearly killing my husband and me. And now you’re here again, bringing a father and son, trying to match them with my mother and me, shaming us with tactics like this. My mother was so angry she almost fell ill. I had no choice but to drive you out. Suddenly, Chui Laicai turns up like this, and now you want to blame it on our family!”

As Muniang spoke, she began to dab at her tears. The villagers knew about Muniang’s home being targeted by gangsters last time—it had almost ended in death, and to think Mrs. Chui was behind it!

The villagers immediately became furious, “She looks respectable, but turns out to be an animal! Is she picking on Muniang’s family because they are doing well, committing such horrendous acts and still thinking she’s in the right!”

Cursing silently, Mrs. Chui pointed at Muniang and shouted, “It must’ve been your doing, poisoning the tea on purpose. Otherwise, why would he be like this? Stop playing innocent; who are you trying to fool?”

Mrs. Chui was really trying to pin the blame on Muniang.

Muniang, feigning surprise, exclaimed, “Aunt says it’s the tea’s problem? Could it really be—”

Mrs. Chui snorted coldly, “Can’t keep up the act, can you? Let everyone see, how cruel and scheming this woman is. It’s no wonder her own man had to run away—who could stand it!”

But Muniang ignored Mrs. Chui, wiping her tears as she spoke, “When you brought that father and son over trying to match them with us, I felt something was off. Chui Laicai was even eager to pour me tea. I intended to drink it, but as it reached my lips, I felt so angry I couldn’t swallow and set it aside. Then my mother nearly passed out from anger, and I was busy calming her down when I later noticed the cup was empty. I’m afraid someone else drank it by mistake—”

With those words, the entire room drew in a breath of cold air. Muniang’s statement was pointed and clear, suggesting that Mrs. Chui wanted to force her brother and nephew onto Muniang and her mother, even resorting to drugging. But alas, she had harmed the wrong person!

Mrs. Chui screeched at the top of her lungs, “You’re talking nonsense!”

Muniang pressed on, “So what you’re saying, Aunt, is that despite my reluctance to marry such scum, I still deliberately poisoned his tea to help him ruin my purity?!”

Qingya also burst into tears, “It’s because our lady and the old lady are too kind that we have to suffer like this. Now that they’ve committed such evil acts, they still want to put the blame on our lady. Poor thing, with no man in the house to defend us, to endure disdain is one thing, but to face such unconstrained bullying? There’s no justice!”

Mrs. Chui was at a loss, not knowing what to say at this point.

The villagers were also furious. Muniang might not have a notable reputation in the village, but her character was universally acknowledged as good. It was already pitiable that she was a widow and orphan, and just as she had finally started to have some good days, such a beast had set his sights on her!

The Village Head’s face darkened immediately, “Muniang, don’t you worry! I will definitely get you justice! Our Tupo Village may be small, but we won’t let outsiders bully us so easily! Today I’ll take charge and drag them directly to the authorities. We’ll accuse them of harboring ill intentions towards our village, of forcefully harassing women. Our County Chief of Chatu Town is famously upright. I want to see who can outmaneuver whom!”

Mrs. Chui’s face turned pale; taking this to the authorities could land her in prison. She quickly begged for mercy, but the Village Head didn’t even glance at her, snorted coldly, and instead started consoling Muniang.

Mrs. Ji just wanted money, she never cared about face. Now hearing this, she chimed in, “Then let’s take it to the authorities. If you don’t compensate me with twenty taels of silver, I really can’t let you off the hook!”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chui became furious, “Twenty taels! For you, an old fatty—just groped a couple of times and you have the audacity to demand twenty taels? If my nephew were conscious, even if you gave him twenty taels, he wouldn’t touch you with a ten-foot pole!”

Mrs. Ji’s temper erupted at this provocation. Her appearance was a sore spot for her and she couldn’t tolerate Mrs. Chui’s insult. With a roar, she lunged at Mrs. Chui, “You old harlot, daring to slander me like that, I’ll take your life!”

Seeing a fight was about to break out, the villagers hurriedly pulled them apart. Muniang, having no interest in watching the two shrews cause a ruckus, said a word to the Village Head and then slipped away.

Once they were a fair distance away, Qingya glanced back at the noisy crowd and snorted, “Mrs. Chui is truly disgusting, even in such a state, she still doesn’t forget to drag the Lady down with her. It’s lucky the Lady anticipated this early on; otherwise, Mrs. Chui would have had her way.”

Muniang wiped the tears from her face with her handkerchief, her tone very indifferent, “At most they will get a beating with planks at the authorities. We shouldn’t be too harsh on them; otherwise, I’m afraid I’d still feel sorry for them. After all the commotion today, ensuring they can’t cause future troubles is worth it.”

Qingya said resentfully, “Now whenever people curse that the Lady’s man ran away, it annoys me! When the master comes back one day, I will definitely curse those people back! Questioning the Lady’s character when their own conduct is questionable!”

Muniang was quite weary too, she could disregard what others thought, but it was still uncomfortable to be talked about like that, right? She sighed, “It shouldn’t be long now.”

Things had quieted down these past few days. The Chui family was too preoccupied with the lawsuit against Mrs. Ji over the indecency charges, leaving them with no time to bother Muniang. And even if they did, Muniang had already given instructions to the servants. The door needn’t be opened, especially since Mrs. Lin had now seen the true colors of that couple and had no intention of placating them anymore.

But Qingya was attentive to details, keeping an eye on the news from over there. After a few days, she came to Muniang, brimming with excitement, “Last time, Mrs. Ji asked Mrs. Chui for twenty taels, and Mrs. Chui was displeased. They fought, didn’t they? And the fight dragged on for ages without a clear outcome, so they ended up at the authorities. Of course, they couldn’t avoid getting the plank.”

But that’s not all. The scandal of Chui Laicai is now the talk of both Chatu Town and Jinyang Town, causing a huge uproar. He’ll probably get pointed at whenever he steps out in the future. And what’s more ridiculous is that when everyone sees Mrs. Ji’s size, they all secretly joke about Chui Laicai’s unusual tastes. There was even a widow in her forties who, when Chui Laicai was carried out after his beating, threw him a flirtatious look! I heard Chui Laicai’s face was as black as charcoal from start to finish.”
