Lu Wenfeng’s voice was so loud that the children felt their eardrums were broken and quickly covered their ears. While they were still blocking their ears to block her cries, Wang Muxiao rushed out of the house with a broom.
When she saw her daughter and Shitou being surrounded by a group of children, she rushed over and waved the broom, "Who dares to bully my children?!"
Wang Muxiao loved her daughter very much and couldn’t bear to let her suffer, so when she saw children bullying her daughter, she snapped. She beat the children with a broom regardless of what others thought.
The children felt pain all over their bodies and could only dodge and run around in the front yard while shouting, "Second aunt Lu, stop hitting! We didn’t bully your daughter!"
"My daughter is crying, and you still say you didn’t bully her? You are still young and have already learned to lie! Since your parents are unwilling to teach you, then I will teach you!" Wang Muxiao said and continued to beat them.
"We are going to hit Shitou!" one of the children shouted anxiously.
When Wang Muxiao heard this, she stopped and asked, "So, you are saying that you bully Shitou, not my daughter?"
Thinking that as long as they did not bully Lu Wenfeng, she would not beat them. The children nodded quickly, and one of them explained, "Second aunt Lu, Shitou’s mother is a criminal. Everyone said that because of her, the reputation of our village was ruined. So, even if we beat her son, we are not in the wrong."
After hearing what they said, Shitou’s eyes turned red and he said, "My mother is not a criminal."
"She is! We witnessed her being arrested by the police!" shouted a little boy.
"Then do you think it’s okay to bully him because of his mother?" Wang Muxiao asked through gritted teeth.
When Shitou heard this, he immediately lowered his head. He held the hem of his clothes in his small fists and didn’t even dare to cry.
He likes the Lu family, especially Lu Wenfeng who always plays with him. He doesn’t want them to hate him. However, his mother is a bad person. So, he didn’t know what to do to make them not hate him.
Just when he was feeling scared, Lu Wenfeng held his hand and said while sobbing, "Brother Shitou, don’t cry."
Shitou looked at her and said with reddened eyes, "You cried too."
Lu Wenfeng wiped away her tears and smiled, "Brother Shitou, don’t be afraid. My mother will protect us."
Wang Muxiao knew that these women only barked but did not bite, so she spat in her face and said, "Pei! Before you ask me to apologize and compensate, clean your mouth first. As an adult, you teach your children to bully others and still dare to talk big here. Believe it or not, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your dirty mouth apart!"
"Is there something wrong with what we said? Chen Lina is a criminal, and Shitou as her son will not be much different. You can see it from Gou Dan and Gao Shun!" one villager retorted.
Wang Muxiao laughed loudly after hearing her words and said, "You are such an idiot. Before taking them as an example, look at Chen Jianguo first. He is Gou Dan’s biological brother, but does he behave like his bad brother? No!"
"If even biological brothers who have the same mother and father can have different personalities, why do you think Shitou will eventually become a criminal like Chen Lina?" she asked and looked at them as if she was looking at an idiot.
After hearing what she said, the villagers were speechless and thought she was right. Although they feel embarrassed about their previous words and actions, they do not want to apologize.
"Ha! I don’t understand what you are talking about! Wang Muxiao, since you are pregnant, I won’t bother you today. You’d better not let us find you beating our children again, otherwise you can’t blame us for reporting you." a villager said before leaving in a hurry while dragging her son.
"Who is afraid of your bluff? If I find your children bullying other children again, I will still beat them!" Wang Muxiao pointed at them and said with a sneer.
Despite their anger, the women could only drag their children back home with their tails between their legs before Wang Muxiao went crazy and beat them.
