Chapter 115: 106 Auntie: Cool and composed, sharp-tongued and ruthless. Chapter 115: 106 Auntie: Cool and composed, sharp-tongued and ruthless. The sky was slightly bright, with a crescent moon hanging in the east and few stars, only the morning star was particularly conspicuous.

An old man, with his hands clasped behind his back, dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit, walked through the lanes, followed by a young girl in her early twenties.

"It's been only a little over a year since I've been back, but Pingjiang has changed a lot. I remember there used to be vendors selling fried dough sticks and pancakes in the morning, but not anymore." "I also wanted to bring Wanwan sglutinous rice lotus root, but I can't find that store anywhere." "I'm old now; I've only walked a few steps, but look at the sweat on my hands." The old man continued as he walked forward, "Do you think we ctoo early? Their family hasn't gotten up yet." "No, Uncle Tang often gets up early with the birds for exercise; sometimes he's out by five," the girl's voice was clear and crisp.

"The moment I arrive in Pingjiang, I get so excited I can't sleep." The two bought sbreakfast and were walking toward the Tang Family's old house. When they nearly reached the door around a quarter past five, even before they got close, they saw someone loitering at the Tang Family's entrance from a distance.

There was a bit of fog in the morning, and from afar everything was a hazy gray, with only a vague silhouette visible. As they got closer, they could make out it was a man.

"Who is this? Who comes looking for someone so early in the morning?" the old man squinted.

They watched the man look around, not knocking directly but walking to one side, feeling the short wall with his hand, and then inexplicably dragging over a large flowerpot from somewhere, placing it under the wall.

The flower pot was only half a foot tall, and for his short and stout body, climbing the low wall was not an easy task.

The Tang Family's old house had an old-fashioned courtyard, with walls not too high that agile individuals could easily climb over.

However, for many years, the security in Pingjiang had been good. Incidents of climbing walls to commit burglary were rare. Besides, many families had dogs in their yards, and thieves risked being bitten before they could steal anything.

"This..." the old man narrowed his eyes.

The person beside him, however, took out a mobile phone, snapping two photos, with the lens zoomed in through the mist, fully capturing the man's face.

Before she could speak, the old man beside her had already stepped forward quickly, "Hey! What are you doing? Stealing?" "Get lost, old man, keep your nose out of my business!” the man shouted.

The old man, elderly and with poor eyesight, although close, could not recognize the person as the latter faced the wall.

"Is thievery so bold nowadays? Beware, I'll call the police!" The man, struggling to grip the top of the wall, perhaps agitated by the mention of the police, cursed violently, "Get lost! What I'm doing is none of your damn business; this isn't your home." "If you meddle further, be careful, I'll cdown and beat you up." "Damn unlucky, to encounter such a decrepit old thing so early in the morning!" Just as the old man, infuriated, was about to step forward, a figure faster than him dashed out, directly lifting a foot and kicking over the flower pot the man was standing on.

With no support under his feet and failing to grip the top of the wall, the man fell backward unexpectedly... Following the sound of the flower pot rolling, his body hit the ground with a loud “thump." Accompanied by a sharp scream, Hua Mei inside the door began to chirp noisily.

"Ow!" The old lane's ground was paved with hard, cold bluestone, painful enough to make him gnash his teeth.

Fortunately, it was cold, so he was dressed warmly; otherwise, this fall would have cracked his head open or severely bruised his bottom.

"Who the hell are you, playing hero and meddling? Today I'll make sure you know how tough I am!" he scrambled up from the ground, grabbing a broom leaned against the wall.

"Ah, this..." the old man frowned, somewhat worried.

The girl did not speak, but handed the breakfast she was carrying to the old man, “Dad, stay back a bit.” Before the old man could reply, the man with the broom handle lunged at the girl, swinging it towards her, yet due to his recent fall, he had little strength.

She slightly stepped to the side, smoothly dodging it! "You have to faceif you're brave enough," the man bellowed.

With a weapon in hand, he felt emboldened, swinging the broom, cursing relentlessly with phrases like “senile old fool" and "filthy girl"...

This tthe girl did not dodge, seizing the moment to deliver a powerful kick! The kick was fierce and ruthless.

As the man rushed toward her unchecked, the sudden counter kick, using his own momentum against him, knocked him over to the ground once again, landing on the sspot as before. Coupled with new pains and old aches, it left him grimacing in pain.

His fingers twitched, unable to hold onto the broom.

The girl walked up to him, kicked the broom handle, hooked it with her foot, bent over, raised her hand, and grabbed the broom! "What the hell are you doing? What do you want to do..." The man was terrified and trembled as he got up from the ground, but immediately after, his back was smashed by a blunt stick.

"Ow-" The broom was made of solid wood, and each hit caused piercing pain.

"You stinky girl, have you lost your mind, huh—” "Stop hitting me, I'm begging for mercy, don't you stop, my lady, I'm begging you." The man's hoarse screams frightened Hua Mei, who also started yelling.

Inside and outside the door, one person and one bird, their voices rose and fell, strangely harmonic.

** At that moment, the Tang Family was also awakened, even Tang Wan jumped out of bed without putting on her coat, wrapped in her pajamas, and ran outside thinking something serious had happened.

As Jiang Jinsang went outside, he only saw the back of her in her pajamas heading outside. He frowned slightly, grabbed two coats, and after seeing Jiangjiang get out of bed too, he instructed Jiang Cuo to watch him before hurrying after her.

Tang Yunxian was the first to arrive. The old man was slow due to his age. He bumped into Jiang Jinsang, who then helped him out the door.

When they reached the doorstep, the sky was slightly bright.

Jiang Jinsang only saw a woman in a red coat, holding a broom, thrashing a man who was cowering and trying to flee.

The man, seeing Tang Yunxian, rushed towards him, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law-save me! This is a crazy woman!" That man was none other than Zhang Defu.

"Damn unlucky, I cto my brother-in-law's house; it's none of your business, you crazy woman." Zhang Defu, seeing the Tang Family members cout, thought he had backup and tried to hide behind Tang Yunxian, seeking protection.

"Your brother-in-law's house?" It was the first tthe girl spoke up, her voice clear and crisp.

"Otherwise! I'm telling you, I'm going to get a medical exam soon, and if you don't compensate me, you can't leave." Zhang Defu blustered.

The girl remained silent but looked at Tang Yunxian, "Is he your brother-in-law?" Tang Yunxian, still in his pajamas, glanced at Zhang Defu and simply said, “No.” "Tang Yunxian, don't talk nonsense, I and you..." At that moment, Zhang Defu looked utterly miserable, clutching his waist and hunching his back, with his nose and tears about to be beaten out of him.

"I've already divorced your sister; you and I naturally have no relationship." Tang Yunxian stated bluntly.

"Tang Yunxian, you damn..." Zhang Defu becfuriously enraged, while the girl stared intently at him, What fooking at? Even if the hell are you we're divorced, I still know him; it's none of your damn business if I cto see someone." "Seeing someone?" The girl scoffed.

"I've never seen anyone 'see someone' by not entering through the front door but climbing over the wall." "Anyone who climbs walls throughout history is either a thief or an adulterer." "Even if it's a misunderstanding, isn't it your fault if you can't bear being misunderstood?" Zhang Defu was raging, this damn girl popping out of nowhere had a fierce hand and a sharp tongue. "Climbing the wall?" Tang Yunxian frowned, "What are you doing at our house so early in the morning?" Sneighbors also started to be disturbed by the commotion, opening their doors and looking out.

By then the sky was quite bright, and the mist had cleared, making the figures and sceneries in the alley more visible.

The girl might have felt unfamiliar and didn't recognize anyone, but as m she glanced at the elderstanding O at behind her, someone exclaimed, "Isn't that Old Shen! Why have you cback?" Shen...

Zhang Defu squinted intently, initially without the dazed from the beaho. Now mind to o see who was who. Now seeing the old gentleman in the distance, his face turned pale. The neighbors started murmuring among themselves.

"What's going on here, have the in-laws run into each other? Ah, this is a bit awkward..." "Meeting at this tin the morning, that's too much of a coincidence." "Zhang Defu is not a good guy, shameless and rogue; I'm afraid it will soon cause quite a disturbance, and the girl might be at a disadvantage." "People from the Shen Family, who ends up in trouble, is not certain yet...”
