 Chapter 298: Beating is Just for You

"Moreover, those medicinal herbs on the mountain are grown in our Cao family's own fields. How are we taking advantage of Chu Heng?"


"Oh, come on! If those are medicinal herbs, why didn't you say so in previous years? I bet they were just rotting in the fields." Mrs. Liu argued not holding back and she took the opportunity to hit Mrs. Xu where it hurt the most.


People like Mrs. Xu, who had no shame, seemed to enjoy seeing her more enraged.


"Yeah, Mrs. Cao, what you said is not correct. Mrs. Ye kindly taught us to recognize medicinal herbs. You didn't come to express your gratitude or bring gifts. Now you're even speaking ill of Scholar Chu. This is a matter of character."


"I didn't expect this from the Cao family."


"I wonder if the main branch of the Chu family knows about this."


"What are you all talking about?" Mrs. Qian, as usual came to her son's new house. The yard wasn't fixed yet and the village had recently suffered from theft. The sand, wood, and other materials left on the side had not escaped theft.


So she came to check on things four or five times a day.


Today, she happened to hear people arguing as she approached, which was quite unusual.


It turned out to be a rare occurrence: a group of people arguing with one person. Usually, villagers just watched from the sides during disputes.


"Mrs. Qian, you finally came!" Mrs. Liu, upon seeing Mrs. Qian, expressed unexpected joy in her eyes. In a few words she told Mrs. Qian everything Mrs. Xu had just said.


"Mrs. Qian, do you think the Cao family's lady is slandering Scholar Chu's reputation? Do you, from the Chu family care about this?"


"What?" Mrs. Qian was furious upon hearing this and she sternly asked, "Did Mrs. Cao from the Cao family say something that tarnishes Chu Heng's reputation?"


Mrs. Xu was already extremely angry and being questioned by Mrs. Qian only fueled her anger. "So what if I said it? I dare to do it, but I don't dare to say it?" Driven to the extreme, she thought of a way. Since the Chu family was unwilling to help the Cao family, she would directly ruin Chu Heng's reputation. By the time the Chu family needed her, she would have the upper hand. She believed that to restore Chu Heng's reputation, they would have to make him apologize. She imagined Chu Heng begging her, and the thought made her even more delighted, adding to her arrogance.


However, Mrs. Xu didn't think or perhaps didn't want to believe that Chu Heng was much more important than she thought. If it really came to the point she imagined, the Chu family would force the Cao family to make her apologize, rather than Chu Heng begging her.


At this moment, Mrs. Xu's mind was not clear enough to understand this.


"Alright, alright, alright." Mrs. Qian, furious, uttered three 'alright's. "So it turns out the Cao family is such an ungrateful bunch. Even if it were someone else, I wouldn't allow you to tarnish the reputation of a scholar from my Chu family."


"Everyone, you're all watching. Should we beat someone like this?"


"We should beat her!" These villagers had just been irritated by Mrs. Xu and didn't like her.


Mrs. Liu was fanning the flames on the side.


So, the moment was right. Mrs. Xu, already leading the way with Mrs. Liu, was instantly pounced on by others and subjected to a beating.


"Ahhhh... Stop! You shrews!"


"Check if her mouth still stinks. If it does, I'll make her face swell."


"Quick, grab her hair."


"Hold down her legs."


In less than fifteen minutes, led by Mrs. Xu from a past life, assisted by Mrs. Liu, several villagers were beating Mrs. Xu from the Cao family and the news of her being assaulted spread throughout the village. The reasons were also spread in detail.


"Madam, something big happened."


Ye Muyu was in the kitchen, brewing a rich broth, and heard Zhang Cong's urgent voice.
