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

"What kind of monstrosity is this? Is there no justice? Is there no law?"

"It's bad enough that people from outside the commune are bullying us, but even the police in our commune aren't helping us! Waaah!"

As soon as the two police officers from the police station left, Feng Cuilan couldn't help but start wailing again.

The patients' family members walking in the corridor all turned to look when they saw Feng Cuilan wailing there.

"Who is this person? What are they yelling about here? Can't a person get any rest? It's so noisy."

"I wonder who it is. I saw her outside the ward at the end of the corridor. Could she be a family member of the patient in that ward?"

"The ward at the end of the corridor? I remember it was for a young woman. The old lady who brought her to the clinic said that the young woman had been beaten bloody by her mother-in-law and husband; it was quite a horrible sight. So, the one sitting on the ground wailing is her mother-in-law, and the one standing is her husband?"

"The one sitting on the ground wailing is her mother-in-law, and the one standing is her husband. When the police came earlier, I went over to listen. It seems that the young woman's family traveled over a hundred miles through the night last night to get here. They left the health center for a while this morning. Look, that old bastard sitting on the ground wailing is the one who was beaten by the young woman's family. It's said that the old bastard was even thrown into the latrine."

"Oh my god, really? That girl's family really traveled over a hundred miles through the night to get here? They really beat that old bastard up and threw him in the latrine?"

"It's true. Yesterday, around dark, I saw an older woman bringing that young woman to the hospital. Her family arrived this morning."

"Traveling at night? Aren't they afraid of running into tigers and bears on the way? They're really brave."

"They came in a tractor. Besides the family members who stayed in the ward to take care of her, several brothers from the same village also came. It is said that they are all hunters in the village, and they carry two hunting rifles with them for self-defense. If they encounter tigers or bears, wouldn't that be sending them money?"

"It's so good to have such a family. Even if she marries far away and is bullied by her husband's family, her family will come to support her and stand up for her."

"The old lady who brought her here said that the young woman was a very good person, thrifty and hardworking. She could do all the chores around the house, but she was unlucky in love and apparently she was getting a divorce."

"I recognize that man standing there. He's the sales clerk at our commune's grocery store, what's his name again?"

"His name is Wang Yuanchao, and the one sitting on the ground is his mother, Feng Cuilan. Let me tell you, that Feng Cuilan is sharp-tongued, mean, and vicious. In the alley where they live, everyone hates her, even dogs shun her..."

Outside the corridor of Xinghuo Commune Health Center, more and more people gathered, including patients, family members accompanying patients, and nurses from the health center. They looked at Feng Cuilan, who was sitting on the ground wailing at the end of the corridor, and whispered among themselves.

People who know Feng Cuilan speak of her with a tone and manner of disdain.

"Feng Cuilan? Does she live in Kuanshi Lane?"

"Yes, it's Feng Cuilan from Kuanshi Lane."

"I've heard of this person. She's lazy, gluttonous, and vicious. Her husband couldn't stand her, so he went out to drink alone and ended up freezing to death outside."

Moreover, this person is difficult to get along with; he'll curse at anyone he doesn't like and has a bad relationship with the neighbors. That girl you mentioned earlier, marrying into such a family, has really suffered.”

"If this were my daughter, I wouldn't let her marry into a family like this, even if you gave me a mountain of gold."

"Perhaps when that young woman married into this family, she didn't know anything about their background, so she married into the family without fully understanding what was going on."

Some people also said.

In this day and age, if you're dating someone and you like each other, you'll usually get married in a month or two, or at most three to five months.

However, Feng Cuilan soon overheard the discussion.

She got up from the ground, stopped wailing, and rushed straight towards the people gathered together discussing the situation.

She grabbed a woman's hair and yanked her back sharply. The woman's head snapped back, and she cried out in pain, stumbling backward.

"I'll teach you to talk behind my back, I'll teach you to talk behind my back."

Feng Cuilan grabbed the woman's hair and slapped her across the face.

She was slapped hard across the face by Huang Zhifang and Li Yunmei that morning, and was even thrown into a latrine by Li Yunshan. After she called the police, the police from the local police station came and investigated the matter. They classified it as a domestic dispute and told her to go to the neighborhood committee to handle it. The outcome she expected, where Li Yunshan and the others were arrested and locked up by the police, did not happen.

Feng Cuilan was seething with anger, and she was furious at the moment.

I just overheard this woman revealing her secrets in front of so many people, and I just happened to walk right into her line of fire.

"How could you hit someone like that?"

Seeing this, an uncle nearby rushed over to pull Feng Cuilan away, but Feng Cuilan, enraged, slapped the uncle back.

"Well, you old hag, you dare to hit me? You really think I'm a pushover?"

A burning pain shot through her face, and the uncle, enraged, grabbed Feng Cuilan's hair and slapped her across the face several times.

"I'll fight you to the death."

Feng Cuilan touched her burning face, a surge of overwhelming hatred welling up in her eyes, and rushed over to tear into the man.

"Hey, hey, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"This is a hospital... Ouch, my face! Damn it, you old bastard, you dare scratch my face? I'll make you pay!"

An elderly woman nearby saw Feng Cuilan and the man fighting and tried to break them up, but Feng Cuilan scratched her face, which angered the woman so much that she immediately joined the fight.

Immediately afterwards, two more people were caught in the crossfire and, in a fit of rage, also lunged at Feng Cuilan.

All of this happened too fast. From Feng Cuilan's sudden attack to the accidental injury of those trying to break up the fight and bystanders, it only took a few seconds, but the hospital corridor had already descended into chaos in that short time.

When Wang Yuanchao saw his mother being beaten by several people, he rushed forward to rescue her, but he was also kicked twice.

The commotion drew many people out of the ward to see what was going on, and even Li Yunshan and others opened the ward door.

When they saw Feng Cuilan fighting with several people, Li Yunshan, Li Yunshi, Huang Zhifang and the others were also surprised.

However, when they saw Feng Cuilan being pulled by the hair, kicked in the buttocks, and punched in the eyes, and when they saw Wang Yuanchao being dragged into the mess and punched and kicked several times for trying to rescue Feng Cuilan, they felt very relieved.

Li Yunlan, in particular, was eager for Feng Cuilan and Wang Yuanchao to be punched and kicked a few more times by those people to vent her anger.

However, their hopes came to an abrupt end with the arrival of the two police officers.

"Stop it, all of you! Stop it!"

When the two police officers arrived, they saw the chaotic scene and immediately shouted to stop them. When Feng Cuilan and the others saw that they were police officers, they stopped and stood in a row obediently.

"Feng Cuilan, it's you again."

One of the police officers was very displeased when he saw Feng Cuilan, who was disheveled and had a swollen face.

They had barely left the commune health center, and hadn't even returned to their own quarters, when a nurse caught up with them and called them back, saying that someone was causing trouble and fighting at the commune health center.

Upon hearing this, the two police officers realized the gravity of the situation and immediately turned around and ran back towards the commune's health center.

When they arrived at the scene, they were surprised to find familiar faces: Feng Cuilan and Wang Yuanchao, who had recently reported the incident to the police station. This infuriated the two officers.

Not long ago, when Feng Cuilan came to the police station to report the crime, she described how miserable she was, how she was slapped hard across the face by her mother-in-law and thrown into the latrine by her daughter-in-law's brother. At that time, he was filled with sympathy.

As it turned out, when she went to the commune health center to find out, things were not as Feng Cuilan had imagined at all. She had been slapped in the face by her own in-laws and thrown into the latrine by her daughter-in-law's brother, which was entirely her own fault.

As a result, just a few minutes after they left the commune clinic, Feng Cuilan got into a fight with someone else inside the clinic.

"Officers, you have to uphold justice for us! This old lady has gone crazy. She grabbed my hair and started slapping me across the face. This uncle tried to break it up, but she hit him too."

The woman whose hair was first grabbed by Feng Cuilan pointed at Feng Cuilan, tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, officer, I saw her hitting someone for no reason and thought I'd break it up, but she hit me instead. Look at my face, there are several cuts, all scratched by her, they sting and hurt."

The older man also said.

"Officer, we were also affected by her. This crazy old woman scratches people without any regard for their safety. She scratches and hits anyone she sees. Look at us, our faces are all scratched up."

Those affected were now pointing angrily at Feng Cuilan.

"Officers, don't listen to their nonsense. They were the ones gossiping about me behind my back, which is why I couldn't help but take action. You can investigate this matter thoroughly and give me justice!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Cuilan became anxious and quickly explained with a mournful face.

"I can make my own judgments; I don't need you to teach me."

Upon hearing this, the police officer immediately spoke in a deep voice.

When Feng Cuilan called the police before, she said that she had been bullied terribly by her daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law's family. However, after they investigated, they found that Feng Cuilan was distorting the truth.

Therefore, the two police officers at the local police station no longer quite believe Feng Cuilan's words.

What right do you have to hit someone just because others are gossiping about her?

"Come with us to the station to cooperate with our investigation."

The two police officers said.

"Okay, okay, we'll cooperate with the investigation. But officers, you really have to give us justice! This old woman is really outrageous. We didn't offend her, and she just started hitting us for no reason."

"That's what the uncle with the scratched face said."

"Okay, uncle, we will definitely uphold justice."

The police said.

Compared to their serious tone when speaking to Feng Cuilan, the two police officers were quite amiable when speaking to this uncle.
