Shen Shu's face was full of anger. He was furious when he saw Shen Gang's useless daughter. He thought that they were the ones who had ruined his plan of getting married. He growled in a low voice, "Get lost!"
This slap stunned everyone present. No one had expected that Shen Shu would hit a 10-year-old girl in a fit of anger.
However, the one who reacted even faster was Shen Wan. Just as Shen Shu hit Shen Miao, Shen Wan picked up the metal stick that was used to start the fire and drove it toward his head, "How dare you hit my younger sister!"
She ruthlessly smacked Shen Shu's head, causing him to fall to the ground. Then, she lifted her leg and kicked him a few times, causing Shen Shu to cry even louder than Grandma Shen.
Everyone jumped in shock at Shen Wan's movements. Immediately after, Deng Ying, Shen Gang, and Grandma Shen rushed up to pull her back.
Deng Ying and Shen Gang were afraid that something would happen if Shen Wan beat the person badly, while Grandma Shen was eager to make the matter big so that she could use this opportunity to extort money from Shen Gang. She pretended to stop the fight, but in reality, she screamed, "Murder! She's killing people!"
This reminded Shen Wan of where she was. Only now did she remember that this was not a magical world where strength was respected, but a modern society where one had to go to jail for killing and give compensation for injuries.
She hurriedly held back a portion of her strength and chose to hit the areas where the wound could not be seen but would cause great pain.
In fact, Shen Wan had even secretly cast a few spells on Shen Shu that would not harm his life. They were silent and would only act up a few months later. They would not be able to blame her, and when the injuries acted up, Shen Shu's entire body would be covered in sores and pus. It was guaranteed that he would not be able to marry a wife for the rest of his life!
In the chaos, Shen Wan even took the opportunity to kick Grandma Shen a few times until Grandma Shen could not get up and no longer had the strength to scream.
When the storm finally calmed down, Shen Shu was already lying on the ground in pain, crying with tears and snot all over the floor. Grandma Shen was sitting against the wall, holding her waist and panting.
Coming back to her senses, Grandma Shen looked at Shen Shu, who had been beaten so badly by Shen Wan that it was unbearable to look at, and started to wail like a pig being slaughtered. "How dare you hit my grandson! You have to compensate us for this! He looks like he's in so much pain, hurry up and send him to the hospital!"
Shen Gang frowned. He looked suspiciously at Shen Shu on the ground. Even though Shen Wan's strength was a little strong, it definitely wasn't to the extent that she could casually beat an adult to tears, right?
He argued, "My Shen Wan only has so much strength, how could she beat someone up so much till they need to go to the hospital! Shen Shu, stop pretending!"
The surrounding neighbors were also used to Grandma Shen's usual unreasonable behavior. They were more or less unhappy and resentful in their hearts, so they also helped to speak up.
"That's right, Shen Wan has always been soft and weak. What strength can she muster to hit someone that badly?!"
"This young lady usually speaks softly. Today, she suddenly hit someone in the name of self-defense. Isn't it because Shen Shu hit her sister indiscriminately?"
"Well said! Even a rabbit would bite when forced into a corner! Shen Shu was the one who bullied Shen Miao first, you should be the ones apologizing!"
"Being beaten to the ground by a little girl, aren't you embarrassed to be in that position?"
The ridicule and taunting from the surroundings were endless. No matter how thick-skinned Grandma Shen was, she couldn't stand it any longer. However, when she thought about how she had come to Shen Gang to ask for money, she couldn't leave empty-handed, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Then she... She even hit me!"
As she spoke, Grandma Shen hurriedly lifted up her cotton-padded jacket and found the place that was still burning in pain from Shen Wan's vicious kick. She pointed and said, "Guys, look! This black-hearted girl even dared to kick her grandmother! My waist was almost broken by her kick!"
However, when everyone looked at Grandma Shen's clothes, they only saw a piece of undamaged dry skin. There were no traces of Shen Wan kicking her.
It was obvious that Grandma Shen was deliberately extorting money, and the crowd immediately booed.
Shen Wan's lips curved into a smile, and a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes. She walked with large strides to Shen Shu, who was lying on the ground and crying. She reached out and lifted his shirt. At the same time, she said to the people around her, "Heh, if you want my family to compensate you, you have to at least have some evidence! You said that I hit him, but I was just playing with him. I didn't hurt him! Everyone, please take a look. Where are the wounds on his body?"
Everyone stuck their heads out to take a look. It was just as expected!
Other than the fat on Shen Shu's upper body, there were no red marks at all. No one could tell that he got beaten by a girl!
The little girl was so gentle, but Shen Shu could still lie on the ground and cry. It was such an embarrassing sight to see!
Seeing Shen Shu's comical appearance, many people started to laugh as if Shen Wan had just told a joke.
