Natural strategic partners, ideal strategic alliances? Liu Shuzhen sneered, wanting to spray this brainless person in the face! Damned idiot, no explanation needed! Let’s not even talk about how stupid it is for her to use her sweet mouth to persuade the Dai family’s old lady to wage war against Bai Jing; just where does she get the confidence from, thinking she’d abandon a good life on her own accord? Rather, it’s like she’s possessed by idiocy, pursuing revenge like fighting rocks with eggs, isn’t it? "You... don’t you hate her? If it wasn’t for Bai Jing interfering, you wouldn’t have gone from being a phoenix ready to fly high to a mess of a plucked mountain chicken. You missed out on being the wife of a regiment commander and ended up with a reputation for being the worst. Your son, born with a golden spoon, should have been above others, but now he’s a commoner, and you’re a commoner’s wife... With such deep-seated hatred, shouldn’t you hate Bai Jing to death?" Huang Wei eagerly looked at Liu Shuzhen, waiting for her to nod in agreement, then she would reveal her revenge plan. By then, relying on her brains plus Shuzhen’s past love with her brother-in-law, the mother-in-law’s nostalgia for her former daughter-in-law, and having Little Lian’en as a powerful weapon, even if they couldn’t kill Bai Jing, they’d tear a layer off her skin! Seeing the flames of hatred burning in this fool’s eyes, eager to reduce Bai Jing to ashes, Liu Shuzhen’s gossip-loving side was so active she wanted to know what Bai Jing did to make the usually cautious Huang Wei so crazy with hatred that she’d wish to perish with her. But now clearly isn’t the time for gossip; the crucial thing is to restrain this fool in front of her, so she doesn’t get herself and Lian En dragged into this. Although she’s annoyed by the little kid, regretting more than once that she didn’t have the heart to end him back then, at least when she dislikes him now, he’s still hugging her calling her "mom" with his clueless baby voice. Even after being reprimanded countless times, he forgets and sticks to her sweetly. When she wants to care for him, the image of him coldly following those traitorous creatures, recognizing them as family for some stupid ideal future, always surfaces. The conflict and frustration have made her almost split mentally. Yet, no matter how much she resents him, he’s still flesh and blood she bore. After nurturing him for over two years, it’s unreasonable to watch him become a tool for Huang Wei, and it’s impossible to just hand him over to those vile people, right? Liu Shuzhen sneered and slapped Huang Wei, who was still babbling ceaselessly, twice across the face: "I don’t care how big your enmity with Bai Jing is. Here’s the thing: you want to find death, fine, but don’t drag me along. It’s not easy coming round with good days like today, and whoever tries to ruin it, I’ll fight them to the end, risking my life! My son was born and raised by me; he carries my husband’s family name, calls Lianshan dad, and will be filial to us in the future. He has nothing to do with your Dai family. If you dare spew nonsense, ruining my family’s peaceful life, then you, Dai Weimin, and your whole Huang family won’t have it easy. After all, things are different now; I’m no longer that pitiable girl crying and begging for mercy as before. If you don’t believe it, try me today. If I shout loudly that you’re attempting to harm me and my unborn child out of provocation, let’s see if you can walk out of the Liu family village production team alive!" Huang Wei, who had just come out of postpartum confinement not long ago, was slapped into confusion and barely avoided embracing the concrete floor in an embarrassing manner. Holding her swollen face, she was about to keep persuading when she was met with a rapid fire of threats from Liu Shuzhen. Enraged beyond sanity, Huang Wei couldn’t care less about cooperation or strategies anymore. All she wanted was to give Shuzhen a couple of slaps back for her ungrateful threats and assaults. If she didn’t show some strength, everyone would think she, Huang Wei, was made of mud? Then, Lianshan, summoned by his second aunt who hurriedly brought him back from the fields saying a crazy woman had come to the house, rushed home to find this scene that chilled him to the core: the woman who should have been the Dai family’s second daughter-in-law was crazily lunging at his wife, with a fierce expression that seemed like she wanted to perish alongside her. His heart almost stopped from fright, and without another thought, he quickly stepped forward to shield his wife, then kicked back fiercely. Following him, out of breath and holding a child, his second aunt arrived just in time to witness Huang Wei’s scene of being sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string. That heavy kick and fall nearly knocked two and a half of Huang Wei’s three spirits out of her. Luckily, that gut-wrenching kick hit her chest; if it landed lower near her abdomen, she might not have survived directly. Even then, Lianshan, crazy enough to hit women, treated her like an old rag without even glancing at her. He only gently cradled Liu Shuzhen, the used goods, in his arms like a treasure, asking softly, "How are you, wife? Did this crazy woman touch you, did she scare you? Is your stomach okay, is the child alright?" Seeing her husband drenched in cold sweat, knowing he was equally frightened, Shuzhen naturally wouldn’t deepen his fear at this time. She quickly forced a smile, "I’m fine, I’m fine. Luckily you came in time, she didn’t touch even a strand of my hair!" "As long as you’re okay, as long as you’re okay! You’re carrying a child now, you can’t afford to be this impulsive and explosive again, alright? Leave rough stuff like fighting to me. If anyone makes you angry to the point where you feel you can’t be comfortable without a hit, just tell me. Whether they’re male or female, human or monster, I’ll handle it for you so don’t deal with it yourself anymore!" Lianshan patted his chest, putting on a gentle negotiating tone. Although she had positioned herself near a flower pot beforehand, even if her husband hadn’t appeared, she could have easily dealt with Huang Wei with ease and delight. But seeing Lianshan so serious, Shuzhen had to nod repeatedly. Taking on a good attitude of admitting wrongs first would give her a chance to avoid the ’gentle punishment’ of nagging later! The couple, with the second aunt accustomed to it and Huang Wei glaring with bitterness, spent a while comforting each other. Not until they glimpsed Liu Shouren, worried and coming over after the second aunt went to the field to find him from afar. Having heard his little sister explain the situation simply, Liu Shouren felt that mere threats and intimidation weren’t adequate. Huang Wei needed to taste real suffering, feel true torment, to teach her fear so she wouldn’t act recklessly. At once, accused of trespassing into the home of two seed experts, threatening and intimidating Shuzhen, the female expert, with an attempt to plunder more quality cabbage and radish seeds slapped onto her. Huang Wei was then detained by Captain Liu Shouren’s command, shut directly into an empty warehouse at the team headquarters. Even two militia members were stationed to guard it, claiming they needed to examine her thoroughly and see if there were any accomplices involved!
