Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Are you okay, Madame Du?
Back in the day, when Gan Siniu married Du Xiaohua, they needed to renovate and build their house.
And at that time, Gan Siniu had made quite a bit of money outside.
Because he was willing to take risks, he made a good amount of money and planned to build a large house once he returned home.
In those days, not many families could afford to build big houses.
So, during that period, the Gan Family was quite the spectacle.
They knocked down their own courtyard walls and even expanded their homestead by about ten meters.
If they had expanded on their own land, naturally, there would have been no problem, but Liu Zheng’s parents were still alive then.
Homesteads were not regulated as they are now, and because the Gan Family forcibly encroached on five meters of the Liu Family’s land, Liu Zheng’s parents naturally wouldn’t stand for it and went to the village to seek justice.
The two families caused an uproar.
The Liu Family was also an old household in the village, and at the time, Liu Zheng’s grandfather was still alive and held a high status there, so the village had no choice but to compensate the Liu Family with some farmland.
The issue was resolved, but the feud between the two families had been established.
Speaking of Du Xiaohua, she was not exactly a good person either.
With this trouble, she not only failed to persuade her husband to reconcile with the Liu Family, but she also joined him in bullying the Liu Family at the time.
Since Liu Zheng’s parents passed away early, the Liu Family’s compound was left with just two children, plus Liu Zheng’s grandfather, so they were bullied even more.
From their compound, they would often throw garbage and the like into the Liu’s yard.
Looking back, the situation didn’t improve until the Liu Zheng brothers grew up and reached around twenty years old; then the Gan Family didn’t dare to continue.
After all, there were two grown men on this side, and most of the Gan Family members were getting on in years. Even though their children had also grown up, they had gone out to work, and only the elderly were left at home, so naturally, they didn’t dare to mess with the Liu brothers.
But.
For the Liu brothers, they had been told by their elders long ago.
They said that Du Xiaohua was a tigress who would eat children.
As little boys, the brothers naturally believed it, but as they grew up, they stopped believing it.
However, they still kept their distance from the shrewish Du Xiaohua.
Despite her beauty, Du Xiaohua was a real shrew; whenever there was an issue, she would make a scene in the village.
As a result, she usually ended up winning more often than losing.
So, it’s not just the Liu brothers—nobody in the village wanted to provoke this woman.
Now she finally had a problem with her old hen and came knocking on their door.
This is why Liu Zheng, upon seeing her, felt a "thump" in his heart and sensed that today might not be a good day; there could be trouble.
"Alright! You’ve got guts, kid! Weren’t you just full of yourself a moment ago? Now come on, speak up! How dare you target our chicken, say it!"
Du Xiaohua, who was speaking, had already walked over, her finger nearly poking Liu Zheng’s forehead.
Liu Zheng was speechless.
He really felt unable to clear things up at the moment.
In his hand, he held a package of medicinal herbs wrapped in kraft paper.
And there lay kraft paper on the ground, exactly like the one in his hands.
Now it was already too late to say it wasn’t him or to try and pick up that piece of kraft paper, wasn’t it?
Only, at this time, things were developing in an unusual way.
Because suddenly, Du Xiaohua’s body staggered, her footing faltered, and then she lunged directly towards Liu Zheng.
She was going to fall, her feet unstable as she stumbled forward.
Liu Zheng saw this and instinctively reached out to try to steady her.
At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and then his arm just stayed outstretched.
But inside, he was experiencing a wave of joy, a surge of delight.
This time it wasn’t him reaching out, but her crashing into him; it had nothing to do with him, right?
Though Liu Zheng was indeed somewhat intimidated by Du Xiaohua, to say he didn’t harbor a desire to get back at the Gan Family would be nonsense.
At least regarding the Gan Family’s mistreatment of his parents, he had always held a grudge and had always wanted to take revenge on the Gan Family.
Now the opportunity had presented itself, and he was determined not to miss it.
As Du Xiaohua collided with him, Liu Zheng’s hands did not move, just remained in place, and then he felt a softness against his palms.
Yes, he’d caught her, and then he grasped even more firmly,
making Du Xiaohua wince in pain, and then she tried to pry Liu Zheng’s hands off with her own.
But.
She realized she couldn’t do it, because at that moment, she had fallen directly into Liu Zheng’s embrace.
Liu Zheng took action, wrapping his hands around Du Xiaohua’s back, his palms smacking directly onto Du Xiaohua’s prominently curved buttocks.
As for Du Xiaohua’s figure, it was beyond reproach, especially her pert behind, which gave Liu Zheng an exceptionally good feeling.
That pleasure was secondary, though; the most exhilarating part was the feeling of revenge.
Twenty years!
Throughout those twenty years, it had always been the Gan Family bullying the Liu Family.
But now things had changed; finally, it was his turn to bully their family.
In this moment, Liu Zheng, with Du Xiaohua in his arms, took advantage of her while saying, "Whoa! I say, Du Madame, are you okay there?"
While his mouth spoke, his hands did not cease their movement.
At this time, Du Xiaohua was being taken advantage of, but there was no change in the color of her face.
However, she was inwardly frantic, knowing she had to get out of this position quickly.
If someone saw her like this, especially being taken advantage of by a brat so much younger than her, it would sound too scandalous if word got out.
Besides, to be at a disadvantage to a brat she had watched grow up was irritating just to think about, right?
But at this moment, she found herself somewhat powerless to deal with the two large hands on her posterior.
Even though she was known to be a shrew, she was still very conscious of her public image and reputation.
Don’t think that just because she was a shrew, she was promiscuous; no matter how shrewish she might be, she paid close attention to matters of decency.
So she quickly broke free from Liu Zheng and hastily straightened her clothes.
As Du Xiaohua left his embrace, the smile on Liu Zheng’s face had vanished.
Because he had realized a problem; that was, he might have been too impulsive just now.
It was the desire for revenge that made him act without restraint.
And now, it seemed like big trouble was looming.
