156: Chapter 156 Sending to Death?

“Bang—” After a loud crash, Wang Daxiu fell back stiffly onto the ground.

It seed she hit her face directly; Wang Daxiu’s nose collapsed inwards, and without even a grunt, she fainted.

The dining table, still careening from its previous montum, with the cleaver that Wang Daxiu had been brandishing, wobbled around for ages before finally, with a clatter, it landed on Wang Daxiu’s body.

“Hiss—” Wang Yongzhu winced for Wang Daxiu, wondering if that double hit from the dining table could cause a concussion.

By the ti the neighbors rushed over, they were greeted by a scene of chaos in the Wang Family Courtyard.

There were cries of won and children, the coughing of n, the screams of children, and the roars of n, all intertwined.

Food was scattered all over the ground, surrounded by fragnts of bowls and plates.

The massive dining table lay overturned on the ground, and it seed to be on top of a person—?

“Brother Laozhu, what in the world happened here?

We heard soone shouting about a murder in your house,” but this didn’t look like the scene of a murder, did it?

After all, there was no blood to be seen as the children cried and the won wailed.

Wang Laozhu, having just had the scare of his life courtesy of his daughter and wife, had forgotten to cough and took a mont to collect himself.

Hearing the neighbor’s question, he was about to answer when he started coughing again.

It was Old Granny Zhang who stepped forward, miraculously switching to a frightened expression, “Uncle, it scared us to death!

We were all sitting in the courtyard having dinner, when suddenly the gate was kicked in, and that woman, Wang Daxiu, charged in with a cleaver, slashing wildly—”

At that mont, Wang Yongping finally broke free from Jinguan, slapped him, and went forward to check on Wang Daxiu under the dining table.

With the help of so neighbors who lifted the table, they discovered indeed a woman lying unconscious underneath, her face covered in blood, her condition unknown.

Looking at the situation, was this an attempt to kill or an act of seeking death?

“What?

Wang Daxiu was attacking people?” The surrounding neighbors were startled.

Everyone knew about the grudge between the Wang and Li families; the two clans were sworn enemies.

But it wasn’t even dark yet, and here was Wang Daxiu, a woman, brandishing a knife at the Wang Family, acting as if she had gone mad?

Then those who were more timid began to gossip, “Aren’t the people from the Li Family too ruthless?

Always so quick to violence?

I always thought that Li Jinlong, that young man, seed decent enough, but how could he do such a thing?

Clearly, he was taught by his parents—”

At this point, Wang Laozhu had also stopped coughing and stepped forward to thank the neighbors for coming so quickly upon hearing the noise and cries for help, otherwise things might have gone very badly.

The neighbors felt a sense of relief upon hearing this and sobody asked, wasn’t Wang Daxiu here to attack soone?

How did she end up knocked out?

Wang Laozhu sighed, “Don’t even ntion it, Li Dagui’s wife has gone mad.

She started slashing as soon as she entered, targeting specifically Laosan’s House and my youngest grandson.

If it hadn’t been for my quick-thinking daughter, who saw that things were turning sour and promptly threw the bowl of hot porridge she had just served at her, I fear my daughter-in-law and grandson could have been injured by now.”

The crowd looked at Lady Jiang, who was still limp on the ground, shaking all over, holding onto Jinshao and crying, which tugged at their heartstrings.

So of the kind-hearted won went over to help Lady Jiang up and comforted her in soft, soothing tones.

Jinhua and Jinpan had long since broken free from Jinhoo’s grasp and run back, now holding onto Lady Jiang and their little brother, crying.

A family of four, the weak were weak, the young were young, crying most pitifully, especially Jinshao who was so small and could only cry in Lady Jiang’s arms, “Mom, scared—”

Those with shallow eye sockets started crying on the side.

At this mont, the voice of the Wang Family Patriarch ca from outside, “Move aside, quickly move aside!

Has anyone been killed?”

The crowd at the door parted, and Jinhoo, pulling the Wang Family Patriarch, rushed in.

The patriarch was no longer young and was both anxious and scared; running all the way here, he almost passed out.

Seeing so many people gathered at the Wang Family’s door, he imdiately panicked!

Could it be too late?

Had the Wang Family suffered a cruel fate?

Once inside the courtyard and seeing all the Wang Family mbers still intact, he visibly relaxed, and disregarding his image, he sat on the doorstep, desperately fanning himself.

It wasn’t long before the Li Family Patriarch also arrived with a group of the Li Family Clan mbers, hurrying over.

In the village, assaulting soone with a knife was a serious affair; if not handled well, it could lead to a large-scale brawl between the Wang and Li families.

How could the Li Family Patriarch not be anxious?

He cursed Li Dagui’s family hundreds of tis in his mind, and even those in the Li Family who had held reservations now felt that Li Dagui’s family was too prone to causing trouble.

Upon arriving at the Wang Family and seeing everyone there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Wang Family mbers were alright, what about Wang Daxiu?

After a quick search, they found her lying on the ground, face covered in blood, unconscious—Wang Daxiu.

The pitiful sight took even the experienced Li Family Patriarch by surprise, “What happened here?”

Wang Laozhu stepped forward, anger written all over his face, “What else could have happened?

Li Dagui’s wife entered our house and started slashing people.

My daughter threw a bowl at her, and she still wouldn’t let up, chasing after my son’s wife and my grandson with a knife.

We had no choice but to upend the table to block her; after all, she was ard, and we dared not get close.

But we never expected to use too much strength, causing the table to fly up and hit her face, knocking her out!

We never laid a finger on her—it was her own doing.”

Wang Laozhu, fearing that the others would doubt how two won could flip a table so far, hurriedly included himself in the account.

The Li Family Patriarch choked up; they may not have touched her, but they had knocked her out cold.

Still, the Li Family was in the wrong and couldn’t say much, just looked around the courtyard.

Thankfully, all the Wang Family mbers were there, limbs intact.

He imdiately felt at ease.

When he got the ssage from the Wang Family Patriarch’s people, he had almost passed out himself.

Racesing over, he feared arriving to find a scene of dead bodies; such a scenario would have caused utter chaos.

Seeing that everyone was unhard, as for Wang Daxiu lying unconscious?

To hell with her—better if she were dead!

She brought such trouble upon herself; he almost wanted to go up and finish her off.

After regaining his composure, the Li Family Patriarch gave a few instructions to his clansn and began to disperse the crowd, “Alright, that’s enough, everyone.

It’s getting late; those who should go ho to sleep, go ho.

Those who need to take care of their children, leave!”

Those eager for gossip retorted, “It’s still early.

When can you not sleep with your wife?

But this Li Dagui’s wife is so vicious; if she’s not dealt with, what if she goes crazy and attacks our hos?

Our families have the weak and the young, how could we fend off such a madwoman?”
