Exile at the beginning: I rule the world by drawing cards

Chapter 22 Is your wife so mean at home?
Qin Mengshang finished her scolding in one breath and felt much better, except for the fact that her good upbringing prevented her from spitting on the ground.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that her chest was heaving, and she glared at her angrily: "You little whore! How dare you challenge me? Let me see if I don't strip you of your naughty skin today!"

He cursed and rushed forward to fight.

Being pointed at and scolded for no apparent reason, Qin Mengshang became angry, grabbed the kitchen knife from Ji's hand and threw it in front of Xu.The throw was quite accurate, barely grazing Xu's skirt.

Mr. Xu is usually very capable in fights, but where has he ever used a knife?Seeing the kitchen knife stained with meat foam being thrown towards him, he was immediately frightened.

Before he could react, he received a hard slap on the left side of his face, which was painful.

Xu covered her face and stared at Qin Mengshang in shock: "You, you dare to hit me?!"

"You're the one I'm going to beat," Qin Mengshang shook off his numb hand, "Old shrew, I'm going to tear your mouth off today so that you don't have to go around biting people!"

Mrs. Xu has lived for so many years and has never been slapped in the face. This little prostitute not only dares to hit her, but also dares to call her an old shrew? !If she doesn't regain her position, she won't be able to see anyone in the future!
"Little bitch! If I don't shed a layer of your skin today, my surname will not be Xu!"

Mrs. Xu waved her hands and rushed over. Before she could touch Qin Mengshang, she felt a sudden pain in her waist. She leaned to the side and fell into a small ditch, covering half of her face with mud.

Qin Mengshang's eyelids twitched. Why would he just do it if he couldn't afford it?

Mrs. Ji was dumbfounded. Meng Niang usually looked gentle and gentle, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful. Even Mrs. Xu was defeated!
The workers on the river embankment were deeply impressed by Qin Meng Shang. They couldn't help but look at Qin Meng Shang twice during their meals, but they never expected that this iconic man who was born like a fairy would be so fierce in a fight!

Someone recognized Zhou Lingqi and poked his hand with a smile: "Is your wife usually so mean at home?"

Zhou Lingqi threw the stone in his hand into the grass nearby and said lightly: "It's not evil."

At least I've never seen her do it.

Li Zhang, who was originally watching the fire from the other side, was counting on his wife to help him rub off the Zhou family's arrogance. Unexpectedly, Qin Mengshang also scolded him and called him an old rooster?
Look at his wife, covered in mud, covering her waist and lying on the ground howling like a butchered pig, not to mention how embarrassing!
Mrs. Xu lay on her back and howled, scolding her as much as she wanted.

Old Mrs. Chen couldn't stand it anymore and angrily shouted: "Why are you howling? You have no idea about the virtues of your own man? You have been making trouble for so long and you haven't seen him come to help you. If you have time to come here to make trouble, why don't you just take care of it?" Take care of your own business!"

Other people in the village respected Xu as having a father who was an errand in the county government and did not dare to provoke him easily, but Mrs. Chen was not afraid. Her man could also speak in front of the county magistrate.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Qin Mengshang bitterly, turned around and found that her man was really watching the fun. She immediately jumped up from the ground, twisted and threw towards the river embankment.

"You heartless thing! You let them bully your mother-in-law and you don't know how to help. I'll tell my father later!"

As soon as he heard that she was going to complain to her father-in-law, Li Zhang immediately dropped his things and ran over. After a while of coaxing, he coaxed her back.

There were many people working on the river embankment, and they looked at this scene with disdain on their faces.

The Li family also escaped when they first fled, and their family wealth is not rich.Li Zhang has been dishonest since he was a child. He used to peek at a girl in the village taking a bath, but his father caught him and beat him severely, and he calmed down for a while.

Later, for some reason, he hooked up with the daughter of the Xu family in the town, and the Xu family refused to marry him.

If Li Zhang hadn't gotten close to the Xu family, how could he have been the foreman of the river embankment?
After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed.

Qin Mengshang picked up the kitchen knife and looked up at Zhou Lingqi. His heart skipped a beat: "The meal is not ready yet. Why are you here?" Zhou Lingqi stared at her eyes and moved his eyes to hers. He held the kitchen knife in his hand for a long time before he said, "I'm thirsty, come here and ask for a bowl of water."

Just say it straight to Shui. Why were you staring at her for so long?
Qin Mengshang whispered and went into the kitchen to fill a bowl of water for him.

Zhou Lingqi didn't stay long after drinking the water. Before leaving, he glanced at the hand she hit with and said abruptly: "Next time your hand hurts, you can change it to something else."

Qin Mengshang didn't react for a moment. After understanding what he meant, he had already walked away.

She couldn't hold it back at that time. Xu's slap was about to fall on her face. How could she not fight back?
As a result, after the beating, I remembered that Zhou Lingqi was watching from a distance.

However, it seems suspicious that Xu fell into a ditch. Could someone be helping her?

Green willows are hanging by the river, and the sunshine is shallow.Qin Mengshang looked at the tall and thin figure. A ridiculous idea flashed through his mind, and then he threw it away and turned around and entered the kitchen.

Xu's family had made such an embarrassing scene for nothing, and Li Zhang was a little embarrassed. He turned around and saw Zhou Lingqi coming from the kitchen, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Then, Zhou Lingqi was ordered to follow them into the river and be responsible for throwing rocks underwater.

When the young man who had just spoken to Zhou Lingqi heard this, he complained: "Isn't this clearly aimed at you? His wife suffered a loss at the hands of your wife, so he used public favoritism to deliberately embarrass you!"

Underwater stone throwing sounds simple, but in fact, you need to find the correct position and throw stones weighing hundreds of kilograms to the bottom of the river.

There are no advanced lifting equipment on the river embankment. We only built a simple windlass on the bank with a toothed pulley on the top. A rope as thick as an arm hangs a stone weighing nearly a thousand kilograms. It requires manpower to move the winch and drive the small windlass. Turn and lift the stone.

Usually those who do these jobs are strong men doing hard labor. Three or five big men are not enough. Seven or eight strong men are needed together.

Although Zhou Lingqi also came to do corvée work, he looked as if he was about to collapse if the wind blew. How could he do such a job?

The young man patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice and said to him: "Although we have only known each other for a day, let me tell you the truth, that Foreman Li is not kind to your wife!"

Zhou Lingqi wanted to refute the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, he changed his mind and said, "How can you be uneasy about your good intentions?"

He glanced at the distance and whispered: "Before you came, Foreman Li would come to the kitchen from time to time. Who doesn't know that he is a little bit spoiled? But Sister-in-law Zhao and Mrs. Chen are both good people, and they didn't let him get close to him. Your wife."

"You don't know, when the Su family first came here, Foreman Li also liked to get in there! One time, Miss Su came back from the mountain and happened to meet him. Fortunately, Miss Su ran fast, otherwise he would have succeeded! But after a while, Xu Xu I insist that Miss Su seduced her man, are you angry? I have lived for 18 years, and I have never seen such a shameless person!"

This young man probably really wanted to make friends with Zhou Lingqi. Once he started talking, he didn't even take a breath in the middle of it.

At the end of the story, Zhou Lingqi also knew his name. His surname was Sun, his name was Dawang, and he lived in the village.

Sun Dawang sympathized with Zhou Lingqi and expressed his anger at Li Zhang's actions.

Finally, she patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Don't worry too much. You just have to help with the underwater stone throwing job. If you can't do it, no one will force you."

Zhou Lingqi felt some numbness in his shoulders. After a moment of silence, he said "Okay".
