Chapter 113 He's Hitting Someone!
On July 7, the first day of the college entrance examination, Deng Xiuzhen got up early and cooked a bowl of noodles for Wenjing, topped with a twisted dough stick and two eggs.
Wenjing smiled and said, "Mom, you're really going all out with this. I'd be letting you down if I didn't get a high score on the exam."
Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile, "This is just my blessing, not a request. Please don't feel pressured."
When the two arrived outside the examination hall, it was already packed with people, a truly spectacular sight. Those taking the exam and those seeing them off had completely blocked the area outside.
"Are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?" The sharp shout attracted everyone's attention. Deng Xiuzhen turned around and saw her former mother-in-law, Li Qiumei.
Standing next to her were Wen Xin and Wen Yu, and a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.
When Wenxin saw Deng Xiuzhen, she reflexively hid behind Li Qiumei. She had been wearing the dress and high heels that Tian Yutong had bought for her these past few days. Her grandmother and classmates all said she looked beautiful, but her mother was too old-fashioned and couldn't stand her dressing like that. She would definitely criticize her.
When Deng Xiuzhen saw Wenxin's outfit, she really wanted to say to her: How old is she? Why is she dressed so scantily and flamboyantly?
But by then, the students had already begun entering the examination hall. The college entrance examination is the biggest turning point in a child's life. Fearing that it would affect Wenjing's exam, she decided to endure it.
"Oh, isn't this my capable daughter-in-law?" Li Qiumei was furious after being stepped on, but couldn't find the person who stepped on her. She cursed, but it didn't quell her anger. When she looked up and saw Deng Xiuzhen, she finally found a scapegoat.
She walked up to Deng Xiuzhen with a cold smile, tugged at Deng Xiuzhen's sleeve and said, "You think you're so capable? You think you can't even afford to eat without my son?"
Look, she's gotten so thin, she's so pitiful!
"Look at what you're wearing! It's made of old fabric that's been there for years. How can you still have the nerve to wear it out like this?"
"What I wear is none of your business! Get out of the way!" Seeing that many students had already entered the examination hall, Deng Xiuzhen ignored Li Qiumei and urged Wenjing to hurry up and go in.
"My God, there are patches here! Did you pick it up from someone else who didn't want it?" Li Qiumei wouldn't let Deng Xiuzhen off the hook. She pointed at Deng Xiuzhen's sleeve with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and screamed exaggeratedly.
"Don't talk about my mom!" Wenjing turned around and glared angrily at Li Qiumei as she walked to the entrance of the examination hall.
"Wenjing, go inside!" Deng Xiuzhen said sternly.
"Look at you, poor, ugly, and unsophisticated. Nobody wants you. Luckily, my son woke up and divorced you, otherwise, how embarrassing would that be?" Li Qiumei continued to provoke her.
"Mom?" Wenjing stood beside Deng Xiuzhen with concern.
Seeing that most of the candidates had already entered the examination room and the exam time was approaching, even the boy next to Li Qiumei had gone in, Wenjing still refused to take a step forward.
Deng Xiuzhen whispered to her, "Go inside and focus on your exam. Once you're inside, I'll go back right away. I won't see her. After you finish your exam this afternoon, go home by yourself. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Wenjing looked at Li Qiumei, who was still babbling incessantly, her eyes blazing with anger.
Seeing that time was running out, Deng Xiuzhen got angry when Wenjing still didn't move. She pushed Wenjing and said, "Don't you remember what your mother said? If a dog tries to bite you, you should get out of its way, because you're not a dog! What can you do here? She has a foul mouth, and you can't gag her! Hurry up and go inside to take the exam!"
Wenjing reluctantly walked into the examination room.
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and waved to her. Once Wenjing went inside and was out of sight, Deng Xiuzhen turned and left without even glancing at Li Qiumei and the other two.
"So eager, are you going to meet some random guy? Look at you, only a beggar on the street would want you..." Li Qiumei followed behind Deng Xiuzhen, cursing and swearing.
Deng Xiuzhen ignored her and quickened her pace.
Li Qiumei quickened her pace and caught up, continuing to curse behind her.
She didn't get the better of anyone in the alley last time and was even laughed at, which made her so upset that she couldn't sleep for a long time after returning home.
After finally calming down, her son called her recently, saying he had divorced Deng Xiuzhen and wanted her to come to the city with Qin Guohui to enjoy a better life. Once in the city, she realized how much better life was than in the countryside. No need to farm, no need to work in the fields. No need to brave the wind or the sun; just cook two meals a day for the children.
My son gives me plenty of money, and after I finish cooking, I spend the rest of my time playing mahjong and chatting. It's like living the life of a god.
As it turned out, she heard that her son had long wanted to bring her to the city to enjoy a better life, but it had been delayed until now because Deng Xiuzhen had stopped him.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the resentment in her heart finally turned into hatred. She had long wanted to catch Deng Xiuzhen and teach her a lesson, but she couldn't find Deng Xiuzhen.
Today, she and her husband brought Wenxin, Wenyu, and their third son's family to send their grandson to take the college entrance examination. They ran into Deng Xiuzhen, who was sending Wenjing off.
She really couldn't help but want to teach Deng Xiuzhen a lesson, but she wasn't sure if she could handle Deng Xiuzhen by herself.
Moreover, she had no idea who Wenxin and Wenyu would help, so she didn't dare to take action and could only vent her anger by cursing.
"Stop following me! If you curse me again, I'll tear your mouth off!" Seeing that Li Qiumei was still following her even though they were far away from the examination room, Deng Xiuzhen suddenly turned around and said coldly.
Li Qiumei was startled. When she came to her senses, she grabbed Deng Xiuzhen's clothes and yelled, "Tear it! Tear it! Try tearing it!"
Deng Xiuzhen was furious and pushed Li Qiumei away.
"They're hitting people! They're hitting people!" Li Qiumei shouted.
Passersby, unaware of what had happened, watched from a distance.
Li Qiumei glanced around and suddenly saw Qin Guohui and his third son coming out of the breakfast shop next door. Instantly emboldened, she pounced on Deng Xiuzhen like a whirlwind, ready to tear her clothes off. She cursed, "You son of a bitch, you filthy old woman, I'll beat you to death!"
Deng Xiuzhen knew her former mother-in-law very well, so she dodged immediately and then kicked Li Qiumei.
That kick was hard; it hurt so much that Li Qiumei screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Even while screaming in pain, she still tried to tear at Deng Xiuzhen.
The commotion was quickly noticed by Qin Guohui and his group. He was already short-tempered, and when he saw that Deng Xiuzhen was fighting with his wife, he grabbed a stool and ran over to smash it at Deng Xiuzhen, who had her back to him.
"Watch out!" a bystander shouted as they ran over.
Deng Xiuzhen was struggling with Li Qiumei and didn't know what was happening. When she came to her senses, blood was dripping from her forehead. She staggered forward two steps due to the inertia and fell on top of Li Qiumei.
The third son, Qin Yanhua, arrived later and saw that the victim's head was covered in crimson blood and dripping with blood. He knew that things had gotten serious, so he quickly whispered to Qin Guohui, "Dad, run!"
