Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Tch, you're ignoring me? I'll make you pay!"

Seeing that Granny Ma ignored her and walked into the yard without a word, Feng Cuilan sneered, spat the sunflower seed shells on the ground, and strode over to Granny Ma's gate with an air of indifference. She pounded on the gate, yelling, "Ma Guifen, what kind of good person are you pretending to be in front of me? What business is it of yours what I do with my family affairs? You old hag, where are you hiding my good-for-nothing? Hand it over right now..."

Feng Cuilan's cursing was so loud that most of the neighbors in the alley heard it. Some even opened their gates and peeked out towards Aunt Ma's house. When they saw Feng Cuilan standing with her hands on her hips, angrily cursing at Aunt Ma's house, many of them were still shaken.

Feng Cuilan's mouth was notoriously sharp and vicious in this alley. Relying on her son's job as the deputy store manager at Xinghuo Commune's grocery store, she often cursed people.

Many of the people in this alley had been "greeted" by Feng Cuilan.

However, most people couldn't out-argue Feng Cuilan, because this old woman was so mean and vicious that she could utter any kind of vulgar language. If you angered her, she could even curse your ancestors for eighteen generations. Some people would even avoid her when they saw her, and most people kept their distance from her.

But what's gotten into that old hag Feng Cuilan today? Why is she cursing at Aunt Ma?

Aunt Ma is usually easygoing and always has a smile on her face. She helps anyone in need and is known as a kind-hearted person in this alley.

"What's going on? Why is that old hag Feng even cursing Aunt Ma?"

"I don't know, that old hag must have taken the wrong medicine."

"I do know a little about it. Old Lady Feng's daughter-in-law, Li Yunlan, went back to her parents' home a few days ago to celebrate her mother's 60th birthday. It is said that she brought back some nice things, including malted milk powder and a scarf knitted by her second sister. Old Lady Feng wanted to take Li Yunlan's things for herself, and the two of them argued and even got into a fight. Later, Wang Yuanchao came back and beat Li Yunlan up again."

As a result, the fight didn't last long. Yesterday afternoon, they started fighting again. This time, it was said that the old woman found Li Yunlan's secret stash of money, which was said to be several hundred yuan. The old woman wanted to keep it for herself, and the two started fighting again.

This time it was serious. Li Yunlan had a gash, and blood was gushing out. It was kind-hearted Aunt Ma who took her to the hospital and even helped take care of little Qianqian. I guess that's why the old hag went to vent her anger on Aunt Ma.

A neighbor who knew the reason secretly glanced at Feng Cuilan, who was cursing loudly in the distance, and whispered to someone else.

"How do you know so much? I don't know anything about this."

"Yesterday, the county's film projection team came to our commune to show a movie. Everyone ate dinner early and went to watch the movie. Who was home? I happened to have a stomachache and had diarrhea when I got home, and that's when I heard the noise."

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this old hag to be so greedy. She even wants to take her own daughter-in-law's things. Not only does she want other people's things, but she also wants their money. She's a real scoundrel."

"Who says otherwise? Wang Yuanchao isn't a good person either. I thought he was an honest man. I didn't expect him to beat his wife."

"Li Yunlan suffered a lot after marrying into such a family."

"Hey, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Some people are two-faced. Nobody can see in front of others and behind their backs. How could Li Yunlan know what kind of person she was marrying before she got married? It wasn't until she lived with them for a long time that she realized the true colors of the Wang family mother and son."

"Hey, stop chirping, that old hag Feng Cuilan is looking over here."

Just then, a neighbor suddenly saw Feng Cuilan looking in their direction. He was so frightened that he shrank back and they all scattered like birds and beasts, hiding in their own houses.

"You little bastards, what are you looking at? Watch out, or I'll gouge your eyes out and stuff them up your asses! Bah! You little brats who sneer at me from behind, born of a mother but without a father to teach them, sons without an anus..."

Although the neighbors had all gone into their homes, Feng Cuilan took a few steps, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at the gate of a house, cursing.

"Mom, why don't we yell back? That old hag said some really nasty things just now, I almost wanted to grab a knife and chop her up."

At Aunt Ma's house, Wang Xiuzhi, a new bride who had been married for less than half a year, frowned as she listened to the unbearable cursing outside the courtyard gate.

"Xiuzhi, don't be impulsive. Evil people will be punished by heaven. It won't be long before Feng Cuilan gets what she deserves. Just you wait and see, it'll be over in a day or two."

Aunt Ma glanced at her pregnant daughter-in-law and said.

This daughter-in-law is kind and good-hearted. Yesterday, she was taking care of Li Yunlan at the commune health center, and it was this daughter-in-law who helped put Li Yunlan's daughter, Qianqian, to sleep.

However, he is a bit impatient.

In addition, she was pregnant, and hearing the vicious insults from that old hag Feng Cuilan might have made her a bit impulsive, wanting to vent her anger.

But that won't do. She's pregnant, and if anything goes wrong, it would be terrible.

"Mother, let it go. Who would dare to take in that old hag Feng Cuilan? Even God wouldn't dare to take her in, for fear of being cursed to death by her."

Wang Xiuzhi said sullenly.

Having such a vicious and eccentric neighbor, and having to endure their vicious curses, is bound to make anyone feel unhappy.

"Hehe, let me tell you, last night Li Yunlan asked me to help her call her family. You know what? Her family traveled over a hundred miles through the night and arrived at the commune clinic before dawn today."

"Not only her mother, brother, and sister came, but they also brought several men from her own village to support Li Yunlan. Just stay home and take good care of your pregnancy. Li Yunlan's family won't let that old hag Feng Cuilan be arrogant for long."

Aunt Ma comforted her daughter-in-law, Wang Xiuzhi, as she spoke.

At this moment, perhaps Feng Cuilan had finished scolding, or perhaps she was tired of scolding, and finally the area outside the courtyard gate quieted down.

……

Wang family.

After cursing enough and getting tired of it, Feng Cuilan finally took a deep breath, leaned on the open gate, and slowly walked into the courtyard.

Although the Wang family's gate was always open, few of the neighbors in the alley were willing to visit them. This was because Feng Cuilan had a notorious reputation; she would immediately say a few words to anyone she didn't like. Even stray dogs would get slapped twice if they passed by her. Nobody wanted to go to her door to get scolded; that would be degrading themselves.

Even the three-year-old in this alley knows that a wicked old woman lives in the courtyard where the gate is always open...

Back home, Feng Cuilan sat on the armchair in the main room for a while, then took out a can of malted milk powder with a chubby baby printed on it, scooped several spoonfuls into a ceramic cup, then picked up the thermos and poured the steaming hot water into the enamel cup, releasing a rich aroma.

Feng Cuilan picked up the enamel mug, blew into it for a while, then picked it up and sipped the water.

The glass was more than half full, and Feng Cuilan quickly drank it all up, leaving even the corners of her mouth white.

"This malted milk powder is really delicious, but there's only one can. That old bitch Huang Zhifang is really something. She has good stuff but didn't give that little bitch Li Yunlan a couple more cans. Now that I've finished this can, there's nothing left for me."

"And that little bitch's third brother, what was his name again? He only gave that little bitch four hundred yuan. Is that how you treat a beggar?"

Feng Cuilan put down her enamel cup and muttered maliciously to herself.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the main room door was kicked open from the outside with a loud bang. The force was so great that the thick door latch broke in two, scattering wood chips all over the floor.

This sudden turn of events startled Feng Cuilan so much that her heart skipped a beat and her whole body trembled.

She looked towards the entrance to the main room and saw a woman with half-white hair walk in from outside.

Beside the woman were two tall, burly young men. The three of them stepped silently into the main room.

Behind these three, several young men and two young women filed in. One of the young women had a bruised and swollen face and a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around her head. The other young woman was leading a girl who looked to be about three years old.

"Li Yunlan, you little bitch, you dare to come back? I thought you died at the commune clinic."

Feng Cuilan immediately recognized the young woman with the bandage wrapped around her head as her daughter-in-law, Li Yunlan, and her triangular eyes flashed with malice.

However, perhaps because the Li family hadn't visited for a long time, or perhaps because Feng Cuilan had never taken the Li family seriously, she didn't even recognize Huang Zhifang, Li Yunshi, and Li Yunshan.

"Who is this old slut calling a bitch?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunshan's eyes widened in anger, and he roared back like a tiger.

Upon hearing Li Yunshan's angry roar, Feng Cuilan's heart skipped a beat.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized the people as Li Yunlan's mother, Huang Zhifang, as well as Li Yunlan's two older brothers and sisters.

Upon seeing this, Feng Cuilan's lips finally trembled slightly, and a rare smile appeared on her sharp and mean old face, but it looked even uglier than if she hadn't smiled at all.

She never expected Li Yunlan's family to come, because she had actually tolerated it after they had given Li Yunlan a beating a few days ago.

Therefore, Feng Cuilan subconsciously assumed that Li Yunlan would continue to endure this time.

But what Feng Cuilan didn't expect was that Li Yunlan's family members not only came, but also came so quickly.

So, they traveled over a hundred miles through the night to get here?

Thinking about this, Feng Cuilan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Seeing Huang Zhifang's expression, as well as the expressions of Li Yunlan's two brothers and sisters, and the young men behind them, all filled with anger, her bad premonition intensified.
