"This is a new era, and I advise you not to keep calling someone a 'vixen'!" Fu Wenwen looked at Zhu Xi and said coldly.
The village head was more direct than Fu Wenwen.
"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Zhu Xi's head was slapped to the side by the village head. She covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief.
"Dad! You actually hit me for this vixen! You never even laid a hand on me when I was little, and now you're hitting me for her!" Zhu Xi exclaimed incredulously.
Aunt Liu, who was picking vegetables with Wu Fang in the kitchen, heard the commotion and rushed out. As soon as Zhu Xi saw Aunt Liu, she found her backbone and pointed at Fu Wenwen and the village head. "Mom! Dad hit me, Dad actually hit me for this vixen..."
Aunt Liu looked up and saw the barely concealed anger on her husband's face. Hearing her daughter's words, she understood everything.
"Xi'er, watch what you say. Your father is already very angry." Aunt Liu knew her husband well. He doted on Zhu Xi immensely. If he had resorted to hitting Zhu Xi this time, it must mean Zhu Xi had crossed his bottom line.
"Mom! You're not going to help me either?" Zhu Xi looked at her mother in shock, tears streaming down her face. "Dad has been bewitched by that vixen, can't you see?"
"How can I help you? Do you even know the situation before you talk nonsense? What do you mean by 'vixen'? Your father and the educated youth Fu are innocent. Why are you calling her a vixen?" Aunt Liu said, getting angry as she saw Zhu Xi refuse to admit her mistake and continue to harp on it.
"Don't you know that people need face, and trees need bark? He's your own father, and you're pointing at him, saying he was seduced by the educated youth Fu? Do you know what that means? You're just spouting nonsense?" Aunt Liu also said angrily, being extremely sensitive to such words after experiencing that dark era.
Zhu De had only just become the village head, and his daughter was saying such heartbreaking things to him. If outsiders heard this, how could Zhu De continue to be the village head?
Worse yet, his daughter was oblivious to the seriousness of the matter, and was still complaining and saying irresponsible things.
For the first time, Aunt Liu felt that her daughter had been spoiled rotten by her and was truly insensible.
"I don't know! All I know is that my dad gave my job to the educated youth Fu! Why should my job be given to her! I don't agree!" Zhu Xi screamed, her hysterical state making everyone look at her with disappointment.
Wu Fang sighed. She couldn't say anything, so she turned and went back to her room.
Zhu Di, who was sleeping in the room, was woken up by Zhu Xi's shouting. Seeing Wu Fang enter, she immediately asked, "What did that darn girl do now?"
Wu Fang told Zhu Di what she had just heard. Zhu Di's face filled with anger, and she was about to rush out. "Do you think it's not chaotic enough out there! Don't go out!"
"I should tear her mouth apart! She talks nonsense all day long!" Zhu Di said angrily, pushing Wu Fang to the bedside. "Sit here and don't move. You're not suited to handle this. Don't come out, I'll go."
Wu Fang sighed helplessly as she watched Zhu Di rush out.
She knew her sister-in-law had been pampered since childhood, but to be so insensible was truly...
In the courtyard, Aunt Liu was grabbing Zhu Xi, urging her to shut up. "Why your job was given to the educated youth Fu? That was your father's decision. Didn't you always complain that the job wasn't good? Isn't this just perfect."
"I can give my job to anyone, but I can't give it to Fu Wenwen!" Zhu Xi gritted her teeth and said.
