Su Bin vehemently rejected watching the show, asking Qin Zhenzhen to leave instead.
âDarling, letâs go to my sister,â he suggested.
âOkay,â Qin Zhenzhen replied, clearly not interested in the show either.
The couple turned around and left, paying no attention to the people around them.
Meanwhile, Feng, feeling shy, glanced at Qian Shanmin but didnât dare to approach him.
Ms. Lin, noticing Fengâs hesitation, pulled her forward and said, âWhat are you shy about? Itâs not the first time weâve met. Just ask Brother Shanmin if you have any questions!â
However, Qian Shanmin remained silent. He stopped digging and turned around, following Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen to where Su Lan was.
He couldnât help but recall a past encounter when Ms. Lin had tried to force Feng onto him, claiming that she should be his wife. Qian Shanmin had firmly declined, stating that he and Feng didnât have any romantic interest in each other.
Despite his rejection, Ms. Lin persisted and resorted to badmouthing Su Lan. She portrayed her as a divorced woman who had done something wrong, leading to her husbandâs family rejecting her. Ms. Lin even criticized the idea of raising children for free, trying to convince Qian Shanmin that Feng was a better choice because of her perceived diligence and virtue, because second-hand goods were not as good as virgin girls.
Angry and fed up, Qian Shanmin had eventually pushed them out of the door in the past, hoping they would leave him alone. However, todayâs encounter seemed even more ridiculous, with Ms. Lin raising her voice to publicly spread gossip about the situation.
Given their shameless behavior, Qian Shanmin decided that he didnât need to worry about them being humiliated, as they brought it upon themselves.
Ms. Lin grew visibly annoyed as she pointed at Qian Shanmin and snapped, âWhat do you mean? I introduced you to my niece out of kindness, and you are treating me like this?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qian Shanmin turned around and replied coldly, âI am handicapped, but I donât need your pity! If you think that I have not made myself clear before, then I will repeat myself â your niece and I are not a good match. She is not my type!â
The villagers watching the show couldnât help but laugh, finding the situation rather amusing.
Ms. Lin made hurtful remarks, and Feng didnât seem to be particularly intelligent either. She expressed that she wasnât a suitable match, yet still appeared to seek humiliation.
Even if she couldnât find a partner, there was no need for her to destroy herself.
Ms. Linâs irritation grew. âYouâre a cripple! You donât deserve to find a wife!â Qian Shanmin stopped and chose to ignore Ms. Lin.
He understood that engaging with her would only fuel her animosity.
However, Ms. Lin became even more determined to provoke him.
âYou donât want a pure girl; instead, you prefer someone whoâs been divorced, a piece of trash!â
âPerhaps her marriage was complicated, leading to her divorce by her husbandâs familyâ¦â
This was a personal attack on Su Lan.
Qian Shanmin couldnât bear it any longer. He turned around and rushed toward Ms. Lin.
Ms. Lin looked up fearlessly. âAre you trying to hit me? Do you dare?â
Qian Shanmin was an orphan, with no remaining relatives, whereas Ms. Linâs family was prosperous, and even the village chief worked for them.
If Qian Shanmin were to hit her, he would face severe punishment according to the village rules. However, Ms. Linâs words were so hurtful that he couldnât bear it anymore. He raised his hands and delivered two tight slaps to Ms. Linâs face.
Ms. Lin felt dizzy, and her face swelled up from the impact.
âYou cripple! How dare you hit me!â she shouted, coming back to her senses and launching herself at Qian Shanmin, attempting to retaliate fiercely.
Drawing from what he had learned during his time at the military camp, Qian Shanmin managed to push Ms. Lin to the ground, subduing her.
With a fierce warning, he told her, âIf you dare to repeat what you said just now, I wonât hesitate to take more drastic action!â
Feng wag left in shock witnessing the intense altercation
