Chapter 375 Chen Tangtang Beats People Up
Qi Xuan slapped her chest, and Zi Yisheng's mouth twitched. This person was truly reckless. Would Shengges's contact with her also make her reckless?
"Leave it to me. I'll scout during the day and work at night."
"Alright, I see you're very capable. Starting tomorrow, I won't have anyone follow you. But I can lend you a bicycle."
"No problem. Alang didn't help much today anyway. I can do it myself."
Alang quickly left. He'd rather sleep than waste his time. It was good that Young Master Zi was considerate, letting this wild girl go crazy.
When Ye Shengges woke up the next day, Qi Xuan was nowhere to be seen. No one knew where she had gone.
"Didn't we agree to scout the county today?"
Ye Shengges and Chen Tangtang went out to herd sheep again, their faces tense.
"Shengges, are you really planning to go?"
Chen Tangtang had heard from her Ouyang that anyone involved would be punished, and he had specifically told her not to go.
"Yes, Zi Yisheng already agreed. He wouldn't lie to me, right?"
Ye Shengges flicked her whip. As long as the leading sheep was controlled, the others wouldn't run around.
"Then you must be careful. Just do it once and it's fine. It's quite interesting staying at home too."
Ye Shengges never felt her current life was boring. She was just instigated by Qi Xuan and wanted to try. If it didn't work out, so be it.
"Mhm. By the way, I heard from my mom that someone has their eyes on your brother."
"Oh, I heard it from Aunt Xia too. So what if they have their eyes on him? Anyway, marrying my brother means working in the fields. I won't let Ouyang help."
This was the best part about Chen Tangtang. What belonged to someone was theirs. What her boyfriend gave her was hers, and it was also her own ability. She would help her older brother when he was in trouble, but she would never be a devoted sister-in-law.
This was something Shengges had taught her, telling her how tragic the endings of many devoted sisters-in-law or brothers-in-law were. In Chen Tangtang's opinion, those were people who weren't thinking clearly, neglecting their own families to care for others. It would be better to go back to her maiden home.
"Aren't you going to keep an eye on things? What if your brother is targeted by a girl with bad character? Then he'll be in debt forever. And you can't easily divorce after getting married now."
The main point was people's deeply ingrained ideas. In her past life, if a marriage felt wrong today, they could divorce the next day.
"That's true. Did Mother Ye say who it was? I hope it's not from Zhizhi."
"Actually, yes, there is. It's that woman who wanted to pounce on Zi Yisheng last time. What was her name?"
"What? That disgusting Wen Mei, I'm going to beat her up."
"Don't rush. There's also a girl from the village. I think her surname is Ji. I don't know which family she's from."
Ye Shengges quickly grabbed Tangtang, who was about to go beat someone up. This needed to be caught in the act.
"You should inquire first and then beat her up when you catch her. That way, we'll have a basis for our argument."
"Yes, you're right."
"I'll go with you then. I heard from my aunt that my cousins are also being pestered."
"Then what does your aunt mean? Are they not looking for wives in the countryside?"
"Not necessarily. It's just that the Bai family men get married very late. My eldest cousin is already 22, and the others are not even 20. The family's rule is that they can't be in a relationship before they are 22."
"There's such a rule."
"Perhaps they want them to mature a bit and have the ability to make sound judgments before choosing a partner. My fourth uncle is in his thirties and still not married."
Chen Tangtang was confused. She didn't know the Bai family had four brothers.
"Isn't your fourth uncle in the Bai Rong Brigade?"
"No, he went elsewhere to develop his career."
Hahaha, he was clearly a poor wretch dumped abroad and unwanted, but he still had to work hard to earn money for the Bai family.
"Then I don't think your eldest cousin will find a partner so quickly. Haven't you noticed that Bai Chufan is all scheming? You have to consider if it's a trap when you talk to him. Which girl in the village can match someone like him?"
The Bai family members were all good-looking. Shengges's appearance leaned towards the Bai family's. Everyone, young and old, was a handsome man or a beautiful woman. Chen Tangtang felt that just looking at them made her eat more.
"Hahaha, it's not as exaggerated as you say, but I don't think the possibility of finding a partner in the village is high."
After all, the Bai family was a deeply rooted clan. Sooner or later, they would make a comeback. Therefore, the marriage of the eldest son and grandson was crucial, as it related to the harmony and social skills of the entire family.
"Let's go. Let's send the sheep back and go on surveillance together. Let's see who's targeting our family."
Chen Tangtang was a person of action. As soon as she knew that Wen Mei, that troublemaker, was targeting her elder brother, she would regret it if she didn't stop it.
"Okay, the sheep seem to have eaten their fill. Have you cut enough grass?"
"Enough, enough. If not, I'll have my elder brother cut some on his way back."
The weather was still a bit cool, but the sun here was so strong that it made it hard to open one's eyes.
The two put on their straw hats and headed towards the fields. Ye Shengges first found out where her cousins were. Usually, their families would work together.
But today, Ye Shengges noticed that her cousins didn't have many girls around them, while Ahong had one, who was a Zhiqing. It seemed to be An Xia, who had wanted to be friends with her last time.
After being quiet for a while, she started again. But Ye Shengges didn't go over to get involved. After all, she didn't know if Zi Yisheng's subordinates were planning to find partners, and she didn't want to accidentally ruin a good relationship.
Soon, Chen Tangtang saw the woman following her elder brother. It was obvious that her elder brother was trying to avoid her.
"Tsk, you're so strict when you criticize me, but you become so hesitant when other girls bother you."
"Is that Wen Mei?"
"Mhm, and there's another one not far away, constantly looking at my elder brother. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect my elder brother to become popular in the countryside."
"Should I inquire about that girl? If she really likes your elder brother, you beat her up and scare away your future sister-in-law."
However, Chen Tangtang didn't dare to leave, for fear that the shameless Wen Mei would pounce on her elder brother on the spot.
"Shengges, can you go and find out for me? It's best to ask the gossipy team from Mother Ye's side."
Ye Shengges looked around and saw the village head's wife, who was the most authoritative gossip leader.
"Grandma Wang, are you busy right now?"
Wang Fengling's eyes lit up when she saw Ye family's girl. This was a good girl.
"Shengges, girl, are you looking for me?"
"Mhm, I was afraid I would disturb your work."
"Hey, my work now is just exercise. My Gong doesn't let me work in the fields. I'm just too restless and get itchy all over if I don't work."
Ye Shengges pursed her lips and smiled. This old lady was a bit boastful.
"Uncle Gong is very filial. He doesn't let you work because he cares about you."
"Hahahaha, I like hearing that. Girl, what do you need me for?"
Ye Shengges squatted beside Wang Fengling and carefully pointed towards Chen Tonghua.
"Grandma Wang, who is the girl squatting near Chen Tonghua? Tangtang heard that someone is bothering her elder brother and wants to find out who she is, so she doesn't get entangled with a bad girl, which would be a big problem."
Wang Fengling narrowed her eyes and looked, appearing to understand everything.
"The one closest to Tangtang's elder brother is the Zhiqing Wen Mei. This girl is no good. She's been involved with many young men in the village, and her reputation is already bad.
As for the other one, how should I put it? Not good, not bad, no way to evaluate."
Ye Shengges was curious. Not good, not bad, what was not good about her?
"That girl is Ji Changlu's third daughter, Ji Yan. She's seventeen this year. She's capable at home, but her family is not. Her two older daughters were bought by the men, and the family is a bottomless pit, with two younger brothers feeding off their three older sisters."
Ye Shengges immediately understood. A sister who doted on her brothers had arrived.
"I understand. So she's looking at Chen Tonghua because he's in good condition."
Wang Fengling nodded. There was nothing more to say. No one in the village dared to marry a girl from Ji Changlu's family.
"Okay, I'll tell Tangtang right away. Thank you, Grandma Wang. Here's some candy to sweeten your mouth."
Wang Fengling smiled at the few milk candies in her hand.
"This girl is really likable!"
Chen Tangtang could barely stand it anymore and was about to roll up her sleeves and beat Wen Mei when Ye Shengges's words set her off.
This firecracker was officially lit, and she rushed onto the field angrily.
"Comrade Tonghua, are you tired? Let's go to the side and rest."
"Rest your mother! How dare you pester my elder brother, I'll beat you to death, you shameless slut!"
Chen Tangtang had seen many village aunties fight and knew the crucial moves. The first step was to pull hair, and the second was to slap the face.
Before Wen Mei could turn around after hearing the angry shout, her hair was grabbed from behind.
Chen Tangtang was chubby and strong. Although she wasn't as tall as the other person, she could handle it by jumping.
Moreover, there was an assist from the side. When Chen Tangtang shouted angrily, Ye Shengges stuck her foot out at Wen Mei's heel.
The two cooperated perfectly, one jumping to pull, the other tripping from behind.
Wen Mei fell to the ground and was immediately ridden by Chen Tangtang, who slapped her twice across the face.
"Everyone knows what kind of trash you are. How dare you pester my elder brother? Do you think I, Chen Tangtang, am dead? Today I'll let you taste my power."
Ye Shengges felt that Chen Tangtang's little chubby hands would swell up after a few more slaps, so she quickly took off one of her cloth shoes and handed it to her friend.
"Be careful with your hands. Use this, and your hands won't get hurt."
Chen Tonghua, who originally wanted to protect his little sister, now just stood by, realizing he probably wasn't needed.
Ye Shengges paid close attention to the girl named Ji Yan next to them. She noticed that when Wen Mei was being beaten, Ji Yan secretly smiled. The schadenfreude and relief in her eyes were too obvious.
"Chen Fatty, let go of me. So what if I like your brother? Be careful, I'll make you call me sister-in-law every day after I win over your brother."
"Sorry, I don't like you. Tangtang, hurry up and hit her. The village head will be here soon."
"Don't worry, I'll beat her until she's crippled."
Their families were not far away. Seeing Ye Shengges come to the fields, they paid attention. At this moment, a group of people rushed over.
"Why did you take off your shoes? It's still cold."
Bai Chufan directly squatted down and used the towel around his neck to wipe the dirt off Ye Shengges's feet. He also took off his jacket to wrap her feet. If there weren't so many people, he would have carried her on his back.
With more people present, Chen Tangtang felt more confident. She swung her shoes at Wen Mei even more vigorously. Wen Mei only got a few slaps on the face. The rest landed on Wen Mei's soft spots, making the young men around them feel embarrassed.
"Why are they fighting again? Stop!"
Chen Tangtang heard the village head's voice and quickly stood up from Wen Mei, handing her shoes back to Ye Shengges. She also tidied her messy hair.
"Village head, Wen Mei was acting like a hooligan, and I caught her."
"You're spouting nonsense."
As Wen Mei tried to get up, Chen Tangtang kicked her down again.
Seeing that it was Chen Tangtang, the village head cleared his throat.
"How was Wen Mei acting like a hooligan?"
Chen Tangtang's little chubby face was flushed red, looking very cute. But what she said made everyone present burst into laughter.
"I heard with my own ears this female hooligan inviting my elder brother to rest on the side. Rest for what? Go rest yourself! My elder brother ignored her, and she still tried to grab him. This is blatant hooliganism in broad daylight. If I hadn't arrived in time, my elder brother's purity would have been tainted!"
"Hahahaha, the female Zhiqing of our brigade is indeed brave. Village head, you must manage her properly. Otherwise, what if she invites me to rest on the side next time?"
Ye Shengges watched as Ji Yan slowly approached Chen Tonghua and immediately pointed at Ji Yan and said loudly.
"Look, another one is acting like a hooligan. She's almost leaning on Chen Tonghua's back."
"Where? I'll beat her to death."
Chen Tangtang immediately understood Ye Shengges's intention. She turned around and pounced on the woman who was already leaning against her elder brother.
"You're so slutty! There are so many people watching, and you still dare to lean on him. I'm telling you, you'll never enter the Chen family door in this life. I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Ji Yan actually wanted to comfort Chen Tonghua at this moment and let the villagers see their closeness, so that no one would doubt them when rumors spread.
But Ji Yan completely forgot about Chen Tangtang's ferocity. Now, not only was she beaten, but she also earned a reputation for being shameless. In a fit of anger, she reached out to grab Chen Tangtang's fair and tender face.
Ye Shengges quickly rushed forward and held down Ji Yan's arms, even poking her arms a few times.
"Hit her hard. My cousins will stop the village head. This person just tried to disfigure you."
After saying that, Ye Shengges deliberately kicked off her shoe. Using her hands was too tiring.
Bai Chufan helplessly wrapped his little sister's feet again. The village head was also being held back by the Bai family, arguing, thus preventing him from shouting to stop.
At this time, Mother Ye and a group of women also came, drawn by the commotion. Especially Xia Hong, who saw her daughter-in-law fighting so bravely, her eyes were full of stars. She wished she could squat on the side and cheer. Their Ouyang family finally had a fierce girl.
Mother Ye hugged her daughter and watched from the side, nodding at the little troublemakers.
"You girls started fighting as soon as I wasn't paying attention. You're really fierce now."
"Heh heh, I was actually here to observe my cousins today, but Tangtang found something first. I couldn't help but fight."
"Next time you fight, call more people, so you don't get accidentally injured."
Ye Shengges surveyed the scene of the fight. Were there not enough people? They could have a group fight.
