Chapter 35 Su Xiaoxiao brutally beats up Liu Dazhuang
Unexpectedly, the shop owner pointed to the signature on the book and said, "See this? This signature is from our General Pei Yuan. It is said that this book was left behind when he was a child studying and writing."

The shop owner seemed to cherish it, and sure enough, he treated the book like a treasure.

"General Pei Yuan? Which General Pei Yuan?"

Unbeknownst to Su Xiaoxiao, the bookseller looked at her as if she were an alien.

"You don't even know our country's most powerful general, Pei Yuan? What dynasty are you from?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she teased, "Shopkeeper, you really are a bookstore owner. Your knowledge is indeed different. How did you know I don't belong to this dynasty?"

The bookseller shook his head and sighed, "Is this guy a fool?"

Su Xiaoxiao paid the money and left with Sanlang, Dabao, and Xiaobao.

"If you don't know, you don't know. Sanlang, have you ever heard of General Pei Yuan? Is he very famous?"

Saburo shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No, I've never heard of it."

Su Xiaoxiao bought pastries and vegetables for them, and then drove the oxcart back to the village together.

When she got home, the front door was fine, but the windows inside were open. Su Xiaoxiao remembered that the windows were closed when she left.

She felt a little scared, afraid that someone had come into the house again.

When the door was opened, the room was indeed ransacked. The remaining rice in the water vat had been taken away, along with the preserved chicken that Su Xiaoxiao had painstakingly prepared.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly went into the inner room to check, and found it ransacked. The quilts on the kang (a heated brick bed) were thrown on the floor, the wardrobe was open, and all the clothes inside had been turned over.

Startled, Su Xiaoxiao quickly reached into the bottom of the wardrobe and thankfully, none of the money she had hidden there had been taken.

Judging from the way she did it, it's no surprise that she went to Liu Dazhuang's house a few days ago, beat him and Li Dongmei up, and even took their preserved duck.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also knew that even if she didn't provoke them, those two would probably still come to steal things.

She was careless this time. She left no one at home and took her whole family out, even driving an oxcart. When they passed through the village, Liu Dazhuang and Li Dongmei must have seen them.

Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that her forehead was practically steaming, and Sanlang couldn't stop her in time.

She rushed out with a fire starter in her hand and arrived at Liu Dazhuang's door. Just then, Liu Dazhuang came back from outside carrying a hoe.

He saw Su Xiaoxiao standing in front of his house, frowned and asked, "Su Xiaoxiao, what are you doing at our house?"

"What did you say you were doing?"

"You and Li Dongmei broke into my house through my window and stole things! You two shameless thieves! Give our things back right now!"

Liu Dazhuang was frowning and gripping the hoe tightly.

"Su Xiaoxiao, don't make baseless accusations. Do you have any evidence?"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered, "You're still talking to me about evidence? Looks like I didn't beat you enough the other day, huh? Liu Dazhuang, I've been tolerating you again and again. You and Li Dongmei have come to steal from our house more than once or twice, haven't you?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes looked terrifying, and Liu Dazhuang involuntarily took a step back.

He was genuinely terrified. For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao's visit this time seemed a little unusual. "Let me tell you, Liu Dazhuang, you've gone too far this time. I don't offend others unless they offend me; that's always been my principle. Now, let me tell you, Liu Dazhuang, you've crossed me!"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she swung the fire stick in her hand at Liu Dazhuang and chopped it down at Liu Dazhuang's head.

There was a loud "snap," this time it was quick and accurate. Luckily, Liu Dazhuang dodged to the side and avoided hitting his head.

At that moment, Liu Dazhuang was hit hard on the shoulder, and the pain made him roll on the spot.

Seeing that he wouldn't resist, Su Xiaoxiao started hitting him with the fire stick.

He was in so much pain that he repeatedly begged Su Xiaoxiao for mercy. "Grandma, please, please stop hitting me, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao was practically going berserk at this point. She didn't care about anything else. "What's the use of yelling for help? Hurry up and return what you stole from my house, do you hear me?"

At this moment, Granny Liu ran out of her house, shouting for help and crying as she tried to grab the stick. But Su Xiaoxiao gave her a look, and she immediately stopped.

If it were before, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't have been so angry. "You, as a mother, don't you teach your son properly? This person came to our house to steal things. Let me tell you, hand over the things right now, or I'll beat your son to death!"

When Granny Liu heard this, she was quite frightened and immediately asked Liu Dazhuang.

"Hand it over now! What exactly did you take from them?"

Liu Dazhuang looked bewildered and said, "What? Mom, when did I take their things? I've been working in the fields all day, I haven't gone anywhere else."

By this time, Liu Dazhuang was covered in blood. He felt that if Su Xiaoxiao continued to beat him like this, he might really die.

In his panic, he suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to his mother, Granny Liu, "Mother, quickly go inside and ask Li Dongmei if she went to Su Xiaoxiao's house today?"

Grandma Liu suddenly realized that she had completely forgotten about Li Dongmei.

Grandma Liu thought to herself, "It's highly likely that Li Dongmei did it." Grandma Liu quickly rushed into the house and called Li Dongmei, who was preparing to cook, out.

"Did you go to Su Xiaoxiao's house to steal something today?"

Li Dongmei suddenly fell silent, and by this time, Granny Liu had already guessed most of what was going on.

It must have been Li Dongmei who did it; she was so angry that she almost raised her hand to hit Li Dongmei.

As a result, Li Dongmei retorted, as if to say, "You want to hit me? Then try it. I'll turn your family upside down, or I'll take my three children and go back to my parents' home."

"Alright, hurry up and go out and see what's going on outside. Your Liu Dazhuang is about to be beaten to death by Su Xiaoxiao."

At this moment, Liu Dazhuang was lying on the ground. The places where he had been injured by Su Xiaoxiao a few days ago had not yet healed. Now, he had been beaten by Su Xiaoxiao again, and his whole body was covered in injuries. He was lying on the ground howling in pain, and he looked miserable.

"Oh dear, husband, what's wrong with you?"

Li Dongmei rushed over and hugged Liu Dazhuang. When she saw Su Xiaoxiao next to her, she immediately understood that this must have been Su Xiaoxiao's doing.

Li Dongmei glared at Su Xiaoxiao and pointed at her, shouting, "Su Xiaoxiao, what right do you have to come over and beat up our boss without saying a word?"
