Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Too Scary Shen Qingju heard this and laughed with her eyes curved, "Alright, when you earn enough two hundred taels, the two of us can get married again." "Mm!" Shen Qinglan nodded. Actually, getting married now would be fine too. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 Everyone burst into laughter again. As they were talking, a sarcastic voice came from the side, "It’s easier said than done, and a hundred taels at that." The Shen Family looked over and saw a middle-aged woman looking at them with disdain. When Shen Qingju saw clearly who it was, her expression darkened instantly. She was about to say something when Shen Qinghe pulled her back. "No need to argue with someone like her, she’s just jealous that our Qinglan is successful." Shen Qinghe didn’t lower her voice deliberately, and everyone present heard it clearly. Shen Shan and Shen Tang shook their heads, signaling Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingzhu to leave with the cart and prepare to load a second one. Just as they left, the woman spat and said, "It’s just ten taels a month, who knows what she’s selling." "What did you say?" The woman sneered, "Can’t you tell what I’m saying? So young and already knows how to do that kind of business, tut tut!" Shen Qingju couldn’t hold back this time; she shook off Shen Qinghe’s hand and was about to rush up, but Shen Qinglan easily stopped her. Shen Qinglan said, "It’s not about you, why are you angry?" "You..." Just as Shen Qingju was upset with Shen Qinglan’s insensitivity, there was a yelp, and the woman fell into the pile of rice stalks. Shen Qingju was stunned, and by the time she came to her senses, Shen Qinglan was already standing next to the woman. "Oh, oh my waist!" "Pfft—" Someone couldn’t help but burst into laughter first, and everyone else turned their faces to snicker. As Shen Qinglan came back, Shen Qinghe pulled her aside to explain, "This woman is Wei’s aunt; she’s the one who instigated the Li family, saying that Wei will become an official in the future and that Qingju is just a farmer’s daughter, telling the Li family not to let Qingju in." Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan turned back, and Shen Qinghe couldn’t stop her in time. The woman barely stood up straight before Shen Qinglan kicked her back into the pile of rice. Not satisfied with just a kick, Shen Qinglan grabbed her hair and pulled her out of the rice pile. Ignoring the woman’s screams, Shen Qinglan coldly warned her, "If I hear any more foul words from your mouth again, I’ll tear that filthy mouth of yours apart." This Hong woman is known in Lishui Village for having a foul mouth, and most people have been gossiped about by her, so she doesn’t have many friends. No one came forward to stop Shen Qinglan from pulling her by the hair. Of course, what Shen Qinglan didn’t know, the reason why no one intervened wasn’t entirely because of Hong’s character, but because the incident of her beating up Zhou Bo had already spread throughout Lishui Village. Some people didn’t believe it before, but now most of them did. Even though Hong was strong and sturdy, she couldn’t land a single move in the hands of the petite Shen Qinglan, and could only let Shen Qinglan handle her as she wished. "Ah—let me go, let me go?" With her scalp being pulled, Hong was in so much pain it made her dizzy. Just as Shen Qinglan released her grip, she stumbled and fell onto the pile of rice. Shen Qingju almost couldn’t resist clapping, while Shen Qinghe stood by with a soft sigh. Hong dared not make another sound and sat there fixing her hair, quietly sobbing; it sounded somewhat pitiful. The others stole a glance at Shen Qinglan and dared not say anything, busily going back to their work. The children playing not far away saw this scene and were so frightened they hid to the side. "Shen Qingping, your third sister is amazing!" a kid shouted, not sure which one. Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an stood nearby, dumbfounded, suddenly feeling that their third sister was terrifying!
