Chapter 431 - 365 Sorry, Can’t Be Magnanimous
As soon as Rong Yan heard her mother fighting with someone else, she understood everything... It must have been because of those rumors.
What’s the easiest and most intimidating way for a little fairy to fight?
It must be by grabbing a weapon.
Simple, efficient, and effortless.
"Stay at home."
As she left the house, she casually grabbed a broom.
Her pretty face darkened, more terrifying than the fierce momentum.
This time, Qin Mei didn’t listen to her sister-in-law’s words and followed her directly.
Because she also guessed the reason why her aunt was fighting... If it was really because of her, how could she still shrink inside this house?
She and her sister-in-law were family; she absolutely couldn’t let these people slander her sister-in-law.
Sun Xiaoyu, who had come to report the news, saw that they had all left, realized what was happening, and quickly followed them, jogging.
She thought the way Sister Rong carried the broom looked... particularly domineering.
Such a spectacle.
Maybe it was because Rong Yan’s expression was so cold while she carried the broom, which made her aura too powerful.
She didn’t know who first caught a glimpse and then uncontrollably shouted, "...Oh no, the Rong Family girl is coming to kill us..."
Upon hearing that, everyone turned back, only to see Rong Yan... and her broom that had shifted from her shoulder to being dragged on the ground.
The scene was too murderous, and on top of that, her somewhat notorious reputation.
People didn’t want to mess with her.
In just that instant, Rong Yan had already arrived.
The neighbors immediately stepped back, not wanting to get involved.
Generally, it was believed... she was the new tyrant of their area.
"Mom, step aside, I’ll handle this..."
It was Ms. Li who stopped first; seeing Rong Yan’s approach, she immediately turned cowardly.
She tried to run.
Rong Yan placed the broom right in front of her, immediately blocking her way.
Mother Li looked at the broom in front of her, her heart trembling with fear.
More than Madam Rong, she was frightened of this beautiful girl, a venomous-hearted beauty.
With a fierce expression, she glared at Rong Yan, "...You, what do you want to do?" Of course, if her voice hadn’t shaken so much, she might have been more persuasive.
Rong Yan gazed at her with slightly narrowed eyes, her expression devoid of emotion, yet looking particularly dangerous, "Running? Why not clear the air first before running?"
"...What, what should I say?"
Rong Yan coolly looked at her, "Have you forgotten how you slandered me? Or do you want me to remind you?"
Just meeting her gaze made Mother Li’s scalp tingle.
She didn’t understand how she could be intimidated by a girl who was around her daughter’s age.
Stiffening her neck, she responded, "...It wasn’t me who said it; it was Old Lady Zhao from the Zhao Family who said it. She claimed to have seen with her own eyes... you abusing your sister-in-law..."
"You dare do it but don’t let others talk about it? If you have the ability, then don’t do such things!"
"Looking so decent ... but always up to no good."
She kept muttering in her heart.
Of course, she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts ... if that little bitch hit her with a broom, let’s not even talk about whether it hurt or not.
The key issue was the embarrassment!
As she spoke up, Old Lady Zhao in the crowd was furious.
Especially when Old Lady Zhao saw the look that Rong Yan swept her way, she truly cursed Mother Li in her heart fiercely.
She exploded and jumped out, scolding Mother Li, "Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting? I just mentioned the fan-slapping incident, where did I say ... that it was abuse? It’s all your own speculation, what does it have to do with me?"
Anyone living in this alley knew ... the Rong Family girls were not to be messed with; they were fierce.
Mother Li speaking like this, wasn’t it just asking for the Rong Family members to hold a grudge against oneself?
Mother Li wouldn’t accept this. Was this trying to shirk responsibility?
She immediately shot back, "How is it not what you said? If you hadn’t blabbed about it outside, how would we know anything?"
"I ... I didn’t say that, I just ..." Old Lady Zhao felt she couldn’t explain herself clearly, especially seeing the look in the eyes of the Rong mother and daughter, "Rong girl, I really didn’t say it like that ..."
If she had another chance, she would definitely not gossip carelessly. She only mentioned it to one person, who knew it would spread so quickly.
At this moment, Qin Mei stepped forward. She was particularly angry, so much so that her voice was much louder than usual.
"My sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law in the world, the kindest person to me, she would never abuse me ... don’t talk nonsense, my sister-in-law is a good person ... Before my sister-in-law came to our house, not only could we not wear new clothes, we couldn’t even eat rice."
"Now, I not only have new clothes to wear, but I also have rice to eat, and my sister-in-law even supports our education. She is the best person in the world, and I won’t allow you to talk about my sister-in-law like that ..."
The little girl spoke so much for the first time, both angry and anxious, tears spurting out.
Madam Rong immediately felt heartbroken seeing her this way and stepped forward to wrap her arms around the little girl’s shoulders.
"There, there, don’t be angry, let them talk ..."
"No, my sister-in-law is so kind, they can’t slander her like that. That day, it was my sister-in-law lying there cooling off, and I willingly fanned her because my aunt and sister-in-law usually don’t let me do any chores, I just wanted to help out a little ..."
Who knew these people were so malicious, to slander my sister-in-law because of this.
The sincerity shown in the little girl’s expression immediately convinced everyone.
Taking a closer look at the clothes the little girl was wearing ... not only were they very new, but the fabric also looked expensive.
Even her shoes looked nice, resembling sandals sold at the Overseas Chinese Store, costing several dollars a pair.
If they weren’t really kind to her, most people wouldn’t spend that kind of money.
Let alone spending several dollars to buy such sandals, they definitely wouldn’t be willing to.
Someone came up to smooth things over, " ... Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s just forget about it ..."
Madam Rong didn’t make a sound, saying to let it go was the only option with so many people around, what else could she do to them?
But to really let it go ... left her feeling rather stifled.
It seems ruining someone’s reputation lightly was the way to go, she hadn’t forgotten how lively this group had been chatting earlier.
Just then, Rong Yan sneered coldly, "Is spreading rumors not illegal? Without verification, you dare to sensationalize in public. What, because it’s not a member of your own family?"
The aunt who made a scene, upon hearing her words, her expression stiffened.
"Come on! I’ll be generous today, everyone who spoke ill of me, come over and apologize, then we can put this behind us."
"Why are you holding onto this so tightly? Isn’t it all a misunderstanding?"
