Bai Zhi sighed and shook her head: “I’m not trying to do anything, and I don’t plan to do anything. I can cure Village Chief Li. I will not ask you to pay for the medical fee. I only hope that you will not make the same mistake again in the future. Especially, he is old, he cannot withstand this kind of stimulus again and again. “

Mrs. Li wanted to open her mouth again, but Wang Shugen, who was standing next to her, held her hand and looked at her with pleading eyes: “Don’t talk anymore, let’s go back.”

Hearing his words, Mrs. Li couldn’t help but slapped Wang Shugen, and then she shouted at him: “Wang Shugen, what do you mean? You don’t want me to speak? Who are you siding? Are you still a man? This wild girl is bullying your wife, can’t you see it?”

Wang Shugen has long been used to Mrs. Li’s character. He was scared by his old man today. When he heard Bai Zhi’s words that he can be cured, he felt relieved. This relief revealed his natural nature.

Wang Shugen felt a burning sensation and pain on his face. He also felt several eyes stared at him. Although these people didn’t say a word, he could seem to hear them laughing and scolding him for not being a man. He didn’t dare to fight. His father was almost killed by his evil wife, but he didn’t even dare to say a word. Is he still a man?

Mrs. Li’s scolding continued, she didn’t realize that her man’s facial expression had changed.

“Pa!” Another crisp sound of a slap sounded.

This time, Wang Shugen slapped Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was so shocked as she stared at Wang Shugen. She couldn’t say a word. Since she married Wang Shugen, she was the only one who does such a thing. Wang Shugen never fight back with words, nor in actions.

“I already gave you some face, but you still don’t want to stop? Do you really think that I, Wang Shugen is afraid of you?” Mrs. Li was beautiful when she married him, on the other hand, he was poor and ugly. He always felt that being able to marry her was because of the accumulated blessings he had done in his previous life. But who would have thought that his goodness, became cowardice in her eyes, and became her basis for bullying him and his parents?

Wang Shugen never thought that one day, he would slap Mrs. Li in the face. He thought it will be impossible to happen, but now that it happened, he felt refreshed. As if all the suffocating feelings he felt for many years have been released with this slap.

“You hit me? How dare you hit me?” Mrs. Li’s tears fall. She never thought that the man in front of her will slap her face.

Wang Shugen replied: “What about it? If you don’t want to live with me anymore, you can go back to your niang’s house and see if I will pick you up. Remember, if you still want to live with me, just give me a break and don’t make my father and mother angry again. Otherwise, I will not only slap you next time.”

Not only Mrs. Li was stupefied, but also all the spectators inside the house. The story reversed so quickly… …

After a while, Wang Shugen pushed the crying Mrs. Li outside the house and left, leaving without saying another word.

Bai Zhi turned and look at Old Lady An, who had tears in her eyes, then said with a smile: “Don’t be sad. Today, Shugen Bo quarreled with your daughter-in-law, she will stop causing trouble for a while. Don’t worry.”

Old Lady An nodded her head, then she raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears in her face. She embarrassedly said to Bai Zhi and Doctor Lu: “I made you see us as a joke.”

Bai Zhi slightly smiled: “Every family has its own difficulty. Aren’t our Bai Family also like this? Well, your life will also get better.”
