Chapter 136 New accounts and old accounts are calculated starting from 1
"Ye Xiaoxiao, if this matter isn't explained clearly today, I'll fight you to the death! You ungrateful little beast."
Seeing the red, swollen handprint on her daughter's face, Zhao Chunxiu immediately rolled up her sleeves, her face contorted in a ferocious expression, like a mother gorilla out of control. It looked as if she was about to rush over and tear Ye Xiaoxiao to pieces at any moment.
He Jing stared at the person who had entered, cursing and swearing, his gaze as cold as a thin blade, as if he would slit her throat at any moment. He also spoke coldly:
"If you continue to speak recklessly, I won't mind taking matters into my own hands."
When Zhao Chunxiu met He Jing's murderous gaze, her arrogance instantly diminished, and she only dared to stare fiercely at Ye Xiaoxiao sitting to the side.
That wretched hussy! That wretched hussy is just here to bring me bad luck! Humph!
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled, feeling quite pleased with herself for being protected.
She squeezed He Jing's hand, signaling him to calm down. After all, Zhao Chunxiu was his nominal mother-in-law, and she didn't want He Jing to be criticized by others because of this disgusting family.
The village was full of onlookers, and there were plenty of gossipy women who took pleasure in discussing other people's daily lives.
"Zhao Chunxiu, you're demanding an explanation from me? Why don't you ask your good daughter what she's done first?"
Ye Xiaoxiao stood up, walked up to the other person, and looked into her eyes.
Standing to the side, He Jing kept a close eye on Zhao Chunxiu and her daughter's every move, fearing that they might harm Xiao Xiao.
"No matter what she did, hitting someone is wrong!" Zhao Chunxiu spat as she spoke, her sharp and piercing words seeming to penetrate eardrums.
Ye Xiaoxiao subtly stepped back to avoid the other person's spittle landing on her face. Disgusting.
She scoffed, glancing at Zhao Chunxiu with disdain: "Really? I only slapped her a few times. Your daughter is something else; she almost killed someone."
Upon hearing the word "murder," Zhao Chunxiu's legs trembled, and she almost lost her balance. However, after a moment, she quickly recovered and continued:
"What! Don't make baseless accusations and keep spouting nonsense! My Yuemei would never do such a thing! Besides, you said she almost killed someone, but that doesn't mean she's still alive and well."
Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and sneered disdainfully: "According to you, your daughter has no responsibility at all?"
"of course!"
The sound seemed to be forced out of the nose, carrying a strong sense of disdain.
"What kind of noise are you making? I could hear you arguing from far away." Li Shanhai came back from outside carrying his pipe.
Upon entering, one immediately sensed a tense atmosphere in the courtyard.
"What's going on?" Li Shanhai narrowed his shrewd eyes. "Oh dear—Xiao Xiao and He Jing are here!"
He saw several slap marks on his daughter's face, and his wife looked like a ruffled old hen.
In contrast, Ye Xiaoxiao and her husband appeared calm and composed. For a moment, no one could figure out what was going on.
"Xiao Xiao, sit down, sit down. Would you like some tea? I'll get you some."
Looking at her husband's obsequious and spineless expression, Zhao Chunxiu wanted nothing more than to kick him over. She immediately roared, "Are you blind? Can't you see your daughter being bullied?"
Ye Xiaoxiao said coldly, "There's no need for tea. You don't need to be so polite. After all, I'm here today to settle accounts."
Li Shanhai took a drag of his cigarette, raising his eyebrows with obvious enjoyment. Upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, his eyes suddenly flashed: "Settle accounts? Settle what accounts?"
His shrewd gaze swept back and forth across the faces of the people in the courtyard, puzzled.
He Jing squinted at the shrewd and worldly-wise Li Shanhai, his expression carrying a faint scrutiny, and calmly replied, "Of course, we'll settle both the old and new scores together!"
Should we settle both old and new scores together?
Upon hearing this, Li Shanhai's hand holding the pipe trembled, and he coughed violently.
He panicked for a moment, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Old grievances?
Judging from the unfriendly looks in the eyes of the couple, could it be that He Jing knows about his past attempts to take advantage of Ye Xiaoxiao?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Only he knows about this; there won't be a third person.
Could it be that Xiao Xiao herself said it?
Thinking of this, his palms went cold. He looked up at Ye Xiaoxiao and saw that she had a cold expression with a hint of mockery, and she exuded an indescribable sense of intimidation.
