Zhu Yueju's lips swelled rapidly, taking on a terrifying shade of red and purple.
"What's happening? What's going on?" Village chief Li Youcai, while preparing for the meeting, witnessed the fight and rushed over to intervene. "Stop, all of you, stop it!"
Su Wen halted and flung the stool to the ground, her piercing gaze shifting from Zhu Yueju's face to Li Youcai's, and finally to Sun Dahai and the Sun Dahe brothers, who had hurriedly approached to assist Zhu Yueju.
Despite their annoyance at Su Wen's stare, Sun Dahai and his brother approached Zhu Yueju and helped her up. Everyone in the courtyard had overheard Zhu Yueju berating Su Wen earlier, but the brothers had feigned ignorance, secretly revelling in her humiliation. No one anticipated Su Wen's sudden outburst, smashing the stool in retaliation.
Zhu Yueju screamed, knowing well that no one in the village dared to challenge her as they feared being targeted by a lunatic.
