010 Sparrow was no bigger than a thumb.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted them. Pointing at Qu Zhanyi, she cursed fiercely, “It’s all your fault, you wretched woman! If you hadn’t driven me mad with anger, I wouldn’t have exposed Huang Jincai’s shame in front of all these people.”

Qu Zhanyi shrugged innocently, a hint of amusement in her voice. “Your mouth is attached to you, auntie. Whatever you want to say, how could I possibly stop you?”

Everyone exchanged glances. Liu Jianhua’s tactic of shifting blame was nothing short of confirming Huang Jincai’s perversion — spying on others while they relieve themselves.

Realizing that no amount of denial would be believed, Huang Jincai stiffened his neck and, furious and desperate, began kicking and cursing at the few people beside him.

“What the hell are you all staring at? Get lost! I haven’t done anything illegal!”

His voice gradually weakened as he finished the sentence. His gaze locked onto Liu Jianhua, and a surge of rage boiled in his chest, wishing he could pounce on the gossipmonger and tear her apart.

“Liu Jianhua, you’ve ruined my reputation for no reason! If I can’t find a wife because of this, I swear I won’t let you off!”

Liu Jianhua was momentarily intimidated by his fierce expression, but having been brash and bold all her life, she wasn’t about to back down. She shot back fiercely.

“If you can’t find a wife, it’s because you’re useless. You shamelessly went spying on Zhang Cuilan while she was going to the bathroom, and now you’re trying to blame me? You’re a coward who can’t face the consequences of your own actions.”

“Liu Jianhua, damn your ancestors!”

“You diseased mutt with a rotten, festering ass! Quèquè isn’t even a thumb big compared to me, got it?”

Huang Jincai, unused to such harsh insults, instantly saw red. Clenching his fists, he lunged at Liu Jianhua without a word.

By his side, Huang Youcai was quick to intervene, stepping between them.

“Brother, brother, calm down first.”

“Listen to me…”

He pulled Huang Jincai back a few steps, speaking in a low voice.

“Don’t hit her directly. Liu Jianhua is a troublemaker. If you hit her once, she’ll make you pay through the nose. It’s not worth arguing with her.”

Huang Jincai shook off Huang Youcai’s hand, grinding his teeth and staring at the arrogant Liu Jianhua with murderous intent.

“I will definitely avenge this grudge!”

Huang Youcai thought he hadn’t come to his senses yet. Just as he was about to say more, Huang Jincai silently turned and walked out of the yard.

Huang Youcai called after him, “Brother,” and chased after him.

Seeing this, Liu Jianhua spat contemptuously at the two of them. “Pfft! You little bastards still not fully grown, daring to act tough in front of me? I’m not afraid of you at all.”

The other five or six people no longer wished to watch the drama unfold. They tacitly lifted their feet and left.

Mainly because none of them wanted to get bitten by this mad dog called Liu Jianhua.

Qu Zhanyi seemed to have anticipated their reactions and left the yard ahead of them.

Seeing Qu Zhanyi trying to flee, Liu Jianhua became more anxious than anyone to leave this stinking place.

There was no way she would let the ‘thirty thousand yuan’ slip away.

“Xu Xinyou, you stay right there!”

Liu Jianhua’s voice was loud; when she shouted, everyone within a hundred meters heard the commotion and came out of their homes.

Seeing Liu Jianhua with her pig-faced scowl, they were startled. Someone asked with concern, “Liu Jianhua, what’s wrong with your face?”

Liu Jianhua whimpered, playing the victim and repeating her old story about Xu Xinyou having hurt her.

The crowd’s initial reaction was similar to Huang Jincai’s.

They didn’t believe that timid, introverted Xu Xinyou — who never even dared to look anyone in the eye on the street — would attack someone.

“If you don’t believe me, ask her! Was it her who hit my face?” Liu Jianhua pointed at Qu Zhanyi, her eyes gleaming with greed and triumph.

Qu Zhanyi, not disappointing her, looked at the crowd and said, “Auntie’s face was hit by me…”
