Ye Xiaohan had just laughed too lewdly, causing Aunt Li to suspect that she was still harboring ill intentions towards Butcher Master. After a lengthy explanation, Ye Xiaohan finally managed to dissuade Aunt Li.
With the few coins left in her pocket, she headed to the apothecary to buy some herbs.
Panlong Grass, Schisandra... After mixing several herbs and grinding them into powder, Ye Xiaohan felt a pang of regret as she watched her eighty coins vanish just like that. However, thinking about her upcoming plans made her feel a surge of happiness.
Having waited for quite some time, she was convinced that Butcher Master must need to use the restroom.
The afternoon sun was scorching, and Ye Xiaohan nearly fainted from the heat before Butcher Master leisurely made his way toward the outhouse behind the trees.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xiaohan hurried past him and bumped into his arm. She glanced at his bare shoulder smeared with something before quickly running away amidst his curses.
What Ye Xiaohan didn’t know was that a man sitting nearby in a teahouse had witnessed her every move.
The young attendant beside him turned to the elegant man holding a teacup and asked, "Sir, should we set off now?"
They had been on the road for quite some time and were running short on time. Yet, for some reason, upon seeing that woman earlier, he felt an inexplicable urge to stay and watch the unfolding drama. Mo Yuncheng was not one to meddle in others' affairs, so this behavior struck him as peculiar. He waved his hand dismissively at the attendant and murmured, "Let’s rest a moment longer."
The attendant remained silent and obediently stood by.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaohan rushed toward the bun shop, grabbing Wang Feng, who was lounging in a chair and snacking on seeds. She anxiously exclaimed, "Sister Wang, it’s bad! Your brother is over there fighting with someone!"
Although Ye Xiaohan was somewhat plump, she paled in comparison to the burly Wang Feng. At her words, Wang Feng immediately became furious. Grabbing the large butcher's knife from the counter with both hands, he shouted angrily, "Hmph! That blind fool dares to bully my man!"
With that, he stormed off in a huff, prompting Ye Xiaohan to quickly follow behind him.
When they reached the area near the outhouse, they found it crowded with onlookers. Ye Xiaohan quickly found a spot to watch the spectacle.
There stood Butcher Master with his bare backside exposed, drooling as he passionately embraced a middle-aged woman. The sight was utterly scandalous as he continued to bend over and make lewd gestures.
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Feng's fury reached its peak. He flipped his knife around and swung it down towards Butcher Master with the blunt side aimed at him. The latter yelped in pain while Wang Feng unleashed a torrent of curses that echoed loudly.
Watching the miserable state of the Butcher Master, Ye Xiaohan sat to the side with her legs crossed, occasionally clapping her hands in delight as she chewed on a piece of grass.
After a while, the insults exchanged were just a few repetitive phrases. The Butcher Master was left bruised and battered by the fierce Wang Feng, and Ye Xiaohan, satisfied, clapped her hands and turned to leave.
Mo Yuncheng noticed the short, stout woman walking away and found it quite interesting. He beckoned to an attendant nearby, gesturing for him to lean down. In a low voice, he said, "Go find out about that woman's background."
The attendant was puzzled, staring at Ye Xiaohan's retreating figure in confusion. What was so noteworthy about that short and ugly woman? He couldn't understand why his master wanted him to waste time investigating her.
Feeling elated after dealing with the Butcher Master, Ye Xiaohan hummed a tune on her way home. Just as she reached her doorstep, she ran into Liu the Strong from next door. Upon seeing Ye Xiaohan, he scoffed and sarcastically remarked, "Hey, fatso, don’t follow me on purpose. Let me tell you, even if you were naked, I wouldn’t touch you!"
Insulted for no reason, Ye Xiaohan was furious and picked up a stone nearby to throw at Liu the Strong. "Why don’t you go eat shit!" she shouted.
Liu the Strong was enraged by the hit and kicked at Ye Xiaohan.
A loud clattering sound echoed!
It turned out that Ye Xiaohan had fallen over, and the remaining ten copper coins in her arms rolled out onto the ground.
Seeing the coins glimmering, Liu the Strong reached down to pick them up. "Let me tell you," he said smugly, "this little bit of money is your compensation for my medical expenses."
Ye Xiaohan valued money dearly as a Taurus; there was no way she would let Liu the Strong take her coins. She quickly rolled over and lunged forward to snatch them back.
At that moment, Ye Xiaohan regretted not bringing out her embroidery needle from the Bei family; otherwise, she would have surely stabbed this despicable man and left him half-paralyzed.
In terms of sheer strength, Ye Xiaohan was no match for Liu the Strong. Moreover, this man was not only sneaky but also deliberately pulled at her clothes to humiliate her.
"What are you doing?"
A loud shout made Liu the Strong stop his actions. Just when Ye Xiaohan thought she was saved, she turned to see Sister Liu glaring at her angrily.
Before she could react, Sister Liu lunged at her, ready to strike.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaohan was quick on her feet. She rolled away and dashed towards Liu Bei, shouting for help.
Hearing the commotion, Liu Bei rushed out of the room with Liu Yang and others, only to see the disheveled Ye Xiaohan being chased by Sister Liu wielding a stick.
Just as it seemed Ye Xiaohan would be caught, Liu Bei wasted no time. He grabbed Ye Xiaohan and pulled her into his embrace, using his back to shield her from the incoming blow.
"Thud..."
A mouthful of blood spurted out as Liu Bei staggered, nearly collapsing under the impact.
Seeing this, Sister Liu was so startled that she dropped her stick, while Liu Yang held her back to prevent her from fleeing.
A crowd had gathered around them, eager to witness the drama unfold, pointing fingers and whispering among themselves. Realizing the situation was turning against her, Sister Liu sat down on the ground and began wailing, "Why is my life so miserable? I encounter such heartless people from the Liu family! This shameless vixen is openly flirting with my husband! Someone come and judge this for me! Oh, my..."
The crowd's gaze shifted to Ye Xiaohan, who was in disarray, their expressions filled with disdain.
Even Liu Yang looked at her with anger, his eyes brimming with disgust.
Ye Xiaohan cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" but maintained a calm facade. She first helped Liu Bei sit down on the side and checked his pulse, relieved to find that he was not in immediate danger.
Liu Bei looked at Ye Xiaohan with a mix of emotions he couldn't quite articulate. The accusations from those around them were relentless, but the pain in his back paled in comparison to the hurt in his heart.
Ye Xiaohan quickly sensed Liu Bei's turmoil. She patted his shoulder reassuringly and said, "Trust me, I didn't do anything. Just rest; I'll handle this."
With that, Ye Xiaohan stood up and walked over to Liu Yang, crossing her arms as she glared down at Sister Liu on the ground.
Sister Liu felt a chill run down her spine under Ye Xiaohan's piercing gaze. She was bewildered by how this woman, who had always seemed timid and avoided eye contact before, now looked so fierce and intimidating.
Ye Xiaohan scanned the crowd for a moment before turning to Liu Yang. "Liu Yang, you need to go to the Government Office. I want to file a report."
The onlookers were silent, and even Liu Yang was confused by Ye Xiaohan's words, looking at her in bewilderment.
"Liu Yang, I was robbed on the way here. They took my money, and that thief even chased me back to our home and attacked your brother. Why are you just standing there? We need to report this!" Ye Xiaohan's expression darkened as she sternly reprimanded Liu Yang.
Liu Yang was taken aback by her outburst and obediently headed outside as instructed.
Liu the Strong grew anxious and stepped in front of Liu Yang, blocking his path. "What do you think you're doing?"
Seeing this unfold, Ye Xiaohan stepped forward without hesitation and pushed Liu the Strong aside. "What’s wrong? Are you a robber too, trying to stop us from reporting this?"
"You filthy woman, don’t slander me! You were the one who seduced me, and now you dare accuse me of robbery!" Liu the Strong glared fiercely, his teeth grinding together.
Sister Liu also got up from the ground, waving her arms as if to strike Ye Xiaohan.
But Ye Xiaohan was prepared; she swiftly dodged to avoid Sister Liu's attack, not giving her a chance.
Standing among the crowd, Ye Xiaohan recounted what had just happened. She explained how she had fallen, causing her money to spill out, and how Liu the Strong had rushed in to snatch it.
The people present began discussing among themselves. Sister Liu shouted loudly at Ye Xiaohan, hurling insults. She had a criminal record and had not changed her ways; how could the impoverished Liu family possibly have money worth stealing?
