222 An Existence on a Different Level
Tao Yinzhen did not expect Bai Wutong to fall out with her on the spot.
Did she not care about her reputation at all?
Wouldn’t she make people avoid her in future if she was so fierce?
Tao Yinzhen stood still in a daze. Qingfeng walked forward and pulled out the sword that was shining with a cold light.
The surrounding atmosphere instantly fell to subzero temperatures.
Everyone looked over. They did not know what Tao Yinzhen had done to anger Bai Wutong and make Qingfeng draw her sword.
Tao Yinzhen met the cold eyes of Bai Wutong and wanted to defend herself. However, the words were stuck in her throat, and she could not make a sound.
At this moment, she finally understood.
Bai Wutong had never been a woman to be trifled with.
Cui Lingyi ran over and looked at Tao Yinzhen warily.
Bai Wutong would definitely not target someone for no reason. If she did, it would definitely be that person’s fault.
More and more villagers surrounded them. Without asking for any reason, they stood uniformly on Bai Wutong’s side and looked at Tao Yinzhen coldly.
Tao Yinzhen felt a chill run down her spine. She had originally wanted to build a relationship with Bai Wutong, but she did not expect it to backfire.
What would happen to Little Cat then?
Tao Yinzhen thought of kneeling and begging for Bai Wutong’s forgiveness.
However, she did not think that she had done anything wrong. She even felt very aggrieved, thinking that she was targeted just because she took a look at Chu Tianbao.
But when she thought of the situation at home, she gave in.
She bent her knees, wanting to use this opportunity to gain the forgiveness from Bai Wutong and sympathy of everyone.
She was just a pitiful woman. It was too much for her to be targeted like this.
Unexpectedly, before she could kneel, Bai Wutong said coldly as if she could read minds, “If you kneel, I’ll get someone to carry you back.”
Tao Yinzhen’s legs stiffened. She deeply understood that the two of them were on completely different levels.
She was powerless and desperate.
She clearly wanted to tell Bai Wutong with utmost sincerity that she had no improper thoughts about Chu Tianbao.
Tao Yinzhen trembled and didn’t dare to speak. She was afraid to imagine that after offending Bai Wutong, Little Cat might not be treated well in Youjia Village in the future.
Tao Yinzhen revealed a terrified expression and muttered softly, “I really didn’t mean anything else.”
Bai Wutong sneered, like a queen in a high position looking down on all living beings. With a wave of her hand, Qingfeng’s sword returned to its sheath.
There was no need for her to teach such a person a lesson.
After Bai Wutong left, the villagers dispersed.
Tao Yinzhen, who felt that her body and mind had been humiliated, clenched her fists and looked hatefully in the direction where Bai Wutong had left. A powerful desire to become stronger broke out of the ground. As long as Little Cat became a scholar, one day, she would also become a respected existence like Bai Wutong.
At that time, no matter how respected Bai Wutong was by the villagers, she would only be a village woman!
Tao Yinzhen was fantasizing when two women suddenly appeared behind her.
Although the deal between Ren Shuixing and Village Chief Zhao did not succeed, the people from her maternal family had come.
Ren Shuixing had enough of Tao Yinzhen only feeding him two meals of porridge a day.
He ordered Tao Yinzhen to hand the silver to his maternal grandmother, Madam Chen, wanting her to supervise Tao Yinzhen to take good care of him.
Madam Chen was naturally happy to receive free money.
In order to make her granddaughter-in-law obedient, Madam Chen specially called her two daughters-in-law over to help.
The eldest daughter-in-law grabbed Tao Yinzhen’s arm and shouted, “Why didn’t you go home to serve your husband? Why did you come to the entrance of the academy? You’re even dressed so well. Are you trying to seduce a man?!”
Madam Chen’s second daughter-in-law said: “I pity your husband who is still waiting for you to come home. You haven’t done any work at home. Hurry up and go back with us!”
Tao Yinzhen pushed Madam Chen’s eldest daughter-in-law angrily. “You’re spouting feces. What nonsense!”
Madam Chen’s eldest daughter-in-law was more than 1.6 meters tall and weighe 75 kilograms. Her weight was a few times that of Tao Yinzhen.
If Tao Yinzhen did not listen and dared to retaliate, she would be asking for a beating.
Madam Chen’s eldest daughter-in-law grabbed her hair and pinched her flesh. “Am I wrong? Your husband has already pooped in his pants and hasn’t eaten anything. You aren’t returning to wash the diapers and only know to be flirtatious here. Let me tell you, as long as my mother-in-law is alive, no one will dare to treat him poorly!”
Tao Yinzhen resisted, and the second daughter-in-law came up to help. Tao Yinzhen could not fight against them with two fists, so she could only roar and shout, “Bullsh*t, why didn’t you take out a copper coin to help when Ren Shuixing was paralyzed? You just want to take advantage of us and take our family’s money! Let me tell you, I’ve used all the money on Little Cat’s tuition, so you won’t get a single cent. If you like to serve Ren Shuixing, then go serve him!”
The eldest daughter-in-law shouted even louder than her, “It’s only right to serve your husband. Did everyone hear that? Not only did this vicious woman spend all the money, but she also wants her husband to fend for himself. I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of my nephew today!”
Tao Yinzhen was restrained by them. Her wounds had yet to recover but she was gaining more injuries.
When Little Cat heard his mother’s cries, he rushed out of the examination hall before he could sit properly.
He went to stop Madam Chen’s eldest and second daughters-in-law. The other party did not take Little Cat seriously because of his size.
The Youjia villagers watched coldly and had no intention of helping.
Tao Yinzhen understood that it was all because she had angered Bai Wutong just now.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be no one to stand up for her.
Mr. Liu from Qinghe Academy came out when he heard the commotion. When he saw the few people stirring up trouble, he hurriedly stopped them. “Stop, stop quickly!”
The eldest daughter-in-law placed her hands on her hips. “It’s not your place to interfere in our family matters! So what if we start a fight here, we didn’t enter your territory to fight!”
Mr. Liu did not know the full situation. His face darkened. “But you can’t hit people.”
The eldest daughter-in-law could not be bothered to talk to the pedantic old man. She gave the second daughter-in-law a look. “Drag her back first.”
...
Tao Yinzhen’s face was swollen and she was still thinking about Little Cat who was about to enter the examination hall. She said anxiously, “Hurry up and go back for the exam. Mother will be fine. They won’t dare to do anything to me!”
Little Cat cried. “Nonsense! They’ve already beaten you up like this!”
Tao Yinzhen forced a smile and said, “It doesn’t hurt. Be good and go back for the exam. You’ll be able to see Mother when you get home.”
By the time he got home, no one knew how his mother would have been tortured by the old witches.
Little Cat knew that no one around would help them. He wiped his tears and did not enter the examination hall. Instead, he turned around and ran to Bai Wutong’s house.
Only the kind Madam Bai could help him protect his mother.
He had to run faster. If he ran faster, he might still have time to get into the examination hall.
Little Cat ran as fast as he could to the door of Bai Wutong’s house, only to find the door closed. Qingfeng was in the courtyard, but he could not enter.
He shouted anxiously, “Madam Bai! Madam Bai! Please save my mother!”
Qingfeng walked over coldly and said expressionlessly, “Madam Bai has something on. You should leave.”
