Chapter 299: Hu Family Plots and Seeks Help from Mo Wu’s Family (1)_1
Lizhong, although old and less agile, was still much better off than the equally old and corpulent member of the Hu family. Seeing her recklessly charging at him, he didn’t brace himself against her but rather stepped aside, feeling only regret that the broom he had swung hadn’t struck the face of that beast, Zhang Ming.
The member of the Hu family wasn’t so lucky. Her brute force failing to hit its target, she fell straight toward the ground, making intimate contact with the cold, hard floor with a "thump" that made the onlookers wince with empathic pain.
"Good heavens, brawling in the street, is there no law left! This old woman only wished to bring her daughter-in-law home for a family reunion, but that wretched scoundrel just would not allow it, wuuu, my life is so miserable——"
The member of the Hu family simply lay on the ground, refusing to get up, weeping and lamenting her grievances with a face awash in tears, which indeed looked pitiable to some extent.
The more the onlookers pointed and gossiped about her, the louder her wailing grew, and hearing some criticize Lizhong for not letting go of his daughter, her heart blossomed with joy.
Lizhong watched with cold indifference as the member of the Hu family put on a show, paying her no mind. He walked straight to the back of the crowd, pulled out the hiding Zhang Ming, and looking at the welts the broom had left on his face, felt waves of satisfaction and an urge to strike him a few more times.
"Hurry up and take your shameless father and mother out of here, or don’t blame me for beating her too! And you, you shameless wretch, since you couldn’t control your lower half and ran off to dally with a young widow, even divorcing my daughter, don’t come here now posing as a saint. I won’t fall for your act! If you dare make trouble again, I’ll take a knife to your house and butcher your whole despicable family, sparing myself from your vile disgust."
