Chapter 559: Chapter 546: Watching the Bustle

It was Widow Liu who got beaten up.

Not only beaten, she was held down on the ground, stripped of her clothes, and slapped multiple times continuously.

Even her house was smashed into pieces, not leaving anything intact. Even the iron pot she used for cooking and the jar she used for storing water were shattered.

As for the reason she was beaten, it was because Widow Liu had charmed a man named Guo Sanhuai from a neighboring village.

Guo Sanhuai was an honest man who worked in the county town on a daily basis. Due to his honesty, combined with his skilled carpentry work, many people sought out his services and paid him a fair wage.

Because of this, Guo Sanhuai managed to earn quite a bit of money throughout the year, leading a fairly prosperous life. Widow Liu set her sights on him. She found an opportunity to approach Guo Sanhuai, purposefully pressed her body against his and then screamed that Guo Sanhuai ogled her because she was attractive and wanted to take advantage of her. She made a scene on the spot.

Guo Sanhuai, being honest and straightforward, had never encountered such a situation and was scared to death. In the end, he was coerced and deceived by Widow Liu. He was forced to give her 150 coins each month in order to put the matter behind them.

Guo Sanhuai was intimidated by Widow Liu, he had to comply and took out the stipulated money from his wages every month to give to Widow Liu. He also begged her not to let word get out, for it would ruin his reputation.

150 coins were not a small sum and Guo Sanhuai gave his wages to his wife, Mrs. Fang, to manage. Suddenly losing such a large amount of money, Mrs. Fang naturally questioned him. After interrogating him several times, she learned of Widow Liu’s shameless behavior. In a fit of rage, she gathered her family members to seek out Widow Liu.

Mrs. Fang was known to be of a violent and resolute nature, and she had many family members. None of her family members were pushovers, and this matter was what married women feared and hated the most. So they were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could drown Widow Liu in a pig cage right away.

Unfortunately, they were outsiders in the village, and even though they were outraged, they couldn’t resort to such action. They could only beat up Widow Liu severely, humiliating her completely to vent their anger.

Thanks to the ruckus caused by Mrs. Fang, Widow Liu’s tactics were all exposed, and those who had been scammed by Widow Liu stood up one after another, denouncing her for her black-heartedness.

Widow Liu became the street mouse that everyone wanted to hit.

It was heard that Widow Liu could no longer stay in the village due to shame. She was getting ready to pack up and leave.

Originally, Mrs. He had been feeling depressed because of Zhuang Yonghe’s affairs. She sought out her sister-in-law for advice, but was told not to say or do anything for the time being.

Mrs. He initially wondered why Widow Liu should be let off so easily, but now she fully understood.

Widow Liu had committed so many evil deeds and naturally made quite a few enemies. There was no need for them to get involved. Someone else would definitely teach Widow Liu a lesson.

Mrs. He’s family was neither powerful nor influential. If the matter escalated, they might not be able to deal with Widow Liu, who was known to be as tough as a meat grinder. It would only stir up trouble. Furthermore, Zhuang Yonghe would not fall for this trap. So they might as well wait and watch the drama unfolding.

Now, the drama was exciting to watch.
