Xiao Mandong frowned slightly and subconsciously reached out to grab the corner of Wang Yuanyuan's clothes, but her hand missed. Before she could keep an eye on her, Wang Yuanyuan slipped in.
"Wang Yuanyuan, is your face as thick as a city wall? After all that has happened, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Manxue blocked Wang Yuanyuan's way. Wang Yuanyuan was running in a hurry and almost bumped right into Xiao Manxue.
"Manxue, I have a stomachache. I really can't hold it in anymore. I just need to use the toilet. Even if you don't let me into the house, please, I really can't bear it."
Wang Yuanyuan said she was in urgent need of the toilet in front of so many people, and her face turned red with shame. The people in the yard thought she was really desperate for a pee or a poop, and their eyes turned to Xiao Mandong.
With so many people in the house, it would really be unreasonable for Xiao Mandong to not let her use the toilet.
"After you finish using the toilet, please leave immediately. Our family doesn't welcome you."
After saying that, Xiao Mandong invited the others into the house.
Wang Yuanyuan rushed into the toilet in one breath.
She waited in the toilet for quite a while. When she saw that Xiao Mandong didn't come after her, she let out a sigh of relief. She knew that if she didn't rush in like this, with Xiao Mandong's temper, she would definitely be left outside the gate alone.
Wang Yuanyuan took a look around the toilet. The walls were made of bricks and plastered with lime. There was no place to hide the bracelet. There were ventilation gaps where the roof met the wall, but the wall was so high that she couldn't reach them. Once she got out of the toilet, Xiao Mandong would surely drive her out of the yard. What could she do?
Wang Yuanyuan gently pushed open the toilet door and poked her head out to look around. The whole yard was empty. There wasn't even a haystack, just the walls. Her hand clutching the bracelet was sweating. If she wasted more time, Xiao Mandong would surely come looking for her.
Suddenly, she thought of a way. She quickly ran to the window, squatted down, and started digging the soil at the base of the wall with her hands. The soil was very dry and hard. Soon, Wang Yuanyuan's fingernails were filled with mud. She didn't care about the pain in her fingers and kept digging until she finally dug out a small pit. She stuffed the bracelet into it with all her might, then covered the pit with the soil she had just dug out and patted it down with her palm. After observing it, she grabbed a handful of dry loose soil from the side and covered it on top, smoothing it back and forth to make it as level as the surrounding ground. Then she stood up and wiped the mud on her hands against the wall.
After finishing everything, Wang Yuanyuan let out a deep breath. She tried to calm her pounding heart before walking towards the front yard. Just as she reached the corner of the eaves, she saw a yellow puppy staring straight at her. Wang Yuanyuan was startled and subconsciously picked up a stone from the ground, trying to scare Diandian. Diandian growled and bared its teeth at her.
"So many people have come to the house, and Diandian wags its tail at everyone. Why does it just dislike you? You're so annoying that even the dog can't stand you."
The sudden voice startled Wang Yuanyuan. Only then did she see Xiao Manxue not far away. Her heart skipped a beat. She wondered how long Xiao Manxue had been standing there and whether she had seen what she had just done.
But she quickly calmed down. If Xiao Manxue had seen it, she wouldn't have pretended not to know. She would have surely rushed over to question her.
Wang Yuanyuan was only afraid of Xiao Mandong and never took Xiao Manxue seriously. Naturally, she spoke without any scruples.
"Xiao Manxue, anyway, I'm your elder sister. Watch your mouth. Food is so precious these days that even people don't have enough to eat, yet you're keeping a dog. This is just a waste of food. You need to change this capitalist way of doing things. I think this dog is quite fat. It would be just right for dog meat."
After saying that, Wang Yuanyuan even gave Xiao Manxue a provocative smile.
As soon as the words left her mouth, there was a loud "slap". Xiao Manxue slapped Wang Yuanyuan hard across the face.
Wang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Xiao Manxue to strike directly after just a couple of words. She wasn't prepared at all and lost her balance. Her back hit the wall, and her cheek went numb.
"Xiao Manxue, how dare you hit me?"
"I'm hitting you because you deserve it." Xiao Manxue's eyes were slightly red at the corners. As soon as she heard the words "dog meat", she thought of the rooster from her childhood. Her stomach churned, and all her anger welled up. She reached out and grabbed Wang Yuanyuan's hair, pulling her forward. Her slaps landed one after another on Wang Yuanyuan's face. Her fingernails even scratched Wang Yuanyuan's cheeks. Wang Yuanyuan was in so much pain and so angry that she reached out and grabbed wildly. The two of them quickly got into a fight, pulling each other's hair, pinching, and biting. Xiao Manxue was like a crazy woman. Moreover, she had been drinking spiritual spring water for the past two months, and Wang Yuanyuan was no match for her.
"How could there be such a vicious person in the world? Your Wang family is rotten to the core, with sores on the head and pus oozing from the feet. You came here asking for a beating, so I'll give you what you deserve. Why are you so cheap? Are we very familiar with you? Why do you come to our house again? And you even want to kill my dog. You're really being insolent."
Xiao Manxue kept scolding while her hands kept hitting Wang Yuanyuan.
Xiao Manxue remembered that when she was a child, her grandma gave her a little chick. She had raised it for more than three years, and it had grown into a big rooster. The rooster followed her everywhere she went every day. But one day, her rooster disappeared. She looked for it for two days but couldn't find it. Wang Meixia also said she hadn't seen it. Who would have thought that when Wang Yuanyuan came to her house on a Sunday and asked her if the chicken smelled good.
Wang Yuanyuan said that the chicken on the dinner table on Old Lady Wang's birthday was her rooster. Xiao Manxue was devastated at that time. Her companion of three years, and she had even eaten the chicken and the comb that day. Xiao Manxue immediately started retching. She went to Wang Meixia to make a fuss, but Wang Meixia said that chickens were raised to be eaten. It was so fat, so why not eat it? If she liked it, she could just raise another one. Why was she being so fussy.
Because of this, Xiao Manxue was seriously ill for a long time. Since then, she had never eaten chicken again. Just thinking about the picture of the rooster waiting for her at the door every day made her heart ache. The angrier she got, the more it seemed like she was venting her dissatisfaction with her childhood and her anger towards Wang Meixia. She hit even harder. Xiao Manxue was almost out of her mind with rage.
"Help... Murderer, help... Woo, help."
"Manxue, stop hitting. Quickly stop."
When Xiao Mandong and the others ran over, they saw Xiao Manxue straddling Wang Yuanyuan and slapping her non - stop.
It took them a lot of effort to pull Xiao Manxue away.
Xiao Manxue had scratch marks on her face and was gasping for breath. Wang Yuanyuan was in a much worse state. Her face was covered with blood marks, her hair was in a mess, one side of her face was swollen badly, and her hair was scattered all over the ground.
"I'm going to call the police. Woo... Xiao Manxue wants to kill me." Wang Yuanyuan lay on the ground wailing.
Xiao Mandong said coldly, "Go ahead and call the police. After all, the case of you instigating Lu Jianguo to kidnap last time was just put on hold, not closed. If it really gets to the police station, you'll be the one going to jail first."
Wang Yuanyuan's wailing suddenly got stuck in her throat. How could she have forgotten about that?
She cast a glance in the direction where she had just buried something and thought viciously. Once she sent Xiao Mandong to the Revolutionary Committee, she would be out of all troubles. By then, she would surely teach that little bitch Xiao Manxue a good lesson.
For now, she had to keep them calm for the time being. The most important thing was to let Sun Wenbin report to the Revolutionary Committee and have them come for a search.
