Chapter 25: The Crime of Gender 25
The main issue was that Old Chen was unhappy about being punished to pound rice. She had been the matriarch for so many years, and after raising her son and seeing him marry, she had not worked again, so she was naturally unwilling to lose face and suffer the burden of pounding rice!
Old Chen didn’t know that Mr. Qin had genuinely exhausted his efforts, crying and feigning fainting to plead for her, and only threw a tantrum. In the end, Mr. Qin got really angry and directly slapped Old Chen!
This slap landed right on Old Chen’s face in front of all the sons, grandsons, and daughters-in-law, with a crisp sound that made people feel the pain just by hearing it!
Old Chen’s face immediately swelled with a red mark, a clear handprint prominently appeared on her face that was no longer young. Old Chen was stunned by this slap from Mr. Qin!
She was dumbfounded for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but once she recovered, Old Chen exploded! She raised a roar, jumped up high, and pounced at Mr. Qin, stretching out her hands and fiercely scratching at Mr. Qin’s face!
The bystanders around were also shocked by this sudden change. It was only after Old Chen and Mr. Qin got into a scuffle that they reacted and immediately went to pull them apart, with some grabbing arms and others hugging legs. During this, Old Chen’s waving hands, like chicken claws with strong destructive power, accidentally injured many!
After finally separating the two, with Mr. Qin glaring furiously and Old Chen making a scene, not only was Mr. Qin’s face scratched up, but those who intervened weren’t spared either, with more or less marks on their faces!
In the chaos, one of Little Chen’s eyes got hit somehow, giving her a black eye, and Mr. Qin’s forehead was cut, with blood covering his whole face! Qin Laoer had his neck scratched to the point of bleeding, and Qin the Third’s face was the most amusing, with three scratches on one side, quite symmetrical!
