Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Acting Like a Hooligan
Zhao Nuanyueâs slender frame blocked the young menâs path, preventing them from entering the livestock teamâs area.
"Hey, miss, please step aside." One of the young menâs eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Nuanyue. He hadnât expected to find such a pretty girl in Nianqiao Village. âIf only this were the county seat,â he thought, âI could always find a way to get my hands on her.â
Seeing the lecherous look in the punkâs eyes, Zhao Nuanyue faced him head-on and said angrily, "Youâre not from Nianqiao Village. You canât go in."
He Qiang couldnât stand it and was about to rush out, but Zhao Nuanyue held him back.
"Get out of the way." The young man was displeased. They had just been blocked and taunted by the villagers at the village entrance. They couldnât lay a hand on the common folk; even if they did, theyâd probably be the ones to get the worst of it.
"You canât do this." The young man forced Zhao Nuanyue to keep backing away as the others behind him rushed forward.
Just at that critical moment, Hua Yusen sent the young man whose hand was about to touch Zhao Nuanyue flying with a kick, cursing, "Molesting someone in broad daylight!"
Hua Yusen had been running at the very front and saved Zhao Nuanyue.
âThat was his Nuanyue. He wouldnât allow anyoneâs filthy hands to touch her.â
"OWW!" The young man fell to the ground, howling in pain.
Seeing how formidable Hua Yusen was, the other young men didnât dare to advance. Instead, they clamored, "How dare you hit me!"
One of them, hot-headed, charged forward.
Hua Yusen dealt with them one by one. With a flurry of punches and kicks, he made quick work of the dozen or so men. They were no match for him at all and were soon lying on the ground, crying out in pain.
Li Guihua and Wu Dazhu had also rushed over. They happened to hear Hua Yusenâs shout of "Molesting someone!" Li Guihuaâs eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "This is a new society! We women can hold up half the sky! You canât just bully a woman and commit indecent assault!"
As Li Guihua spoke, she shot Zhao Nuanyue a meaningful look.
Zhao Nuanyue was still shaken. But when she saw Li Guihua winking at her, she immediately understood. âA direct confrontation wonât work, so I have to attack from the side.â She covered her face and began to wail, "I canât go on living! These bastards bullied me, they molested me! My reputation is ruined, I donât want to live anymore! Donât hold me back, Iâm going to jump in the river! Iâm better off dead than living in shame!"
And with that, Zhao Nuanyue covered her face and made to jump into the river.
Over on the side, Hua Yusen was still beating up the insolent young men. Hearing Zhao Nuanyueâs cries, his heart ached for her even more, and he put more force into his blows, beating them until they were crying for their mamas and papas.
Although Wu Dazhu had brought people to break up the fight, they only held back the young men, which made it even easier for Hua Yusen to beat them up.
"Ouch, youâre so audacious..."
"You..."
"Aah, it hurts, it hurts..."
Zhao Nuanyueâs shrill voice was hoarse as she shrieked, "I canât live anymore! My innocence is gone..."
At that moment, Zhao Nuanyue was just like a shrew!
But this was no time to worry about appearances.
"Youâre lying! I didnât do anything!" one of the young men protested, scrambling to defend himself.
Li Guihua turned and glared at him. "You didnât do anything? Then why is this young lady trying to kill herself?"
"I didnât even touch her hand..." a young man tried to explain, wanting to say he hadnât managed to touch her.
"Touch her hand? What else were you planning to touch?" Li Guihua berated him. "So young and already up to no good, learning to harass women. If your parents canât teach you how to behave, then weâll teach you a lesson, so you donât go on to harm more women in the future!"
These young city slickers had never encountered such formidable village women before!
They were young men from the city. The rural women theyâd met usually scurried away at the sight of them. Who would dare to confront them like this?
âThe young one is a little shrew, the older one is an old shrew, and now a whole flock of shrews from Nianqiao Village is gathering behind them.â
Meanwhile, Miao Dahai and Zheng Delin were in the village office, reviewing reports. As Director Zheng looked them over, he was pondering how he could complete his mission for the day.
But before Director Zheng could say anything, they heard someone running over in a hurry.
"Director Zheng, Liu Daliang was beaten up! A lot of us were beaten up!" one of the young men yelled as he ran over breathlessly.
Hearing the young manâs words, a villager from Nianqiao Village who had come to report was displeased and retorted, "Thatâs not what happened! Those snot-nosed brats tried to take liberties with Zhao Nuanyue. You know that girlâs temperament, sir. Sheâs fierce! She was about to jump into the river!"
"What?" Hearing this, Miao Dahai shot up from his seat. "In broad daylight! Theyâre barely out of their diapers and already know how to harass a decent woman. Zheng Delin, sigh, I donât even know what to say to you!"
Zheng Delin was even more displeased to hear this and retorted, "Miao Dahai, thatâs not right. Youâre always talking about evidence. Itâs the middle of the day. How could the men I brought with me possibly do something like that?"
