This mother-daughter duo was living the high life and was unwilling to cook for themselves. When they saw that there was no good food in the kitchen, they immediately lost their appetites.
They would rather starve than eat coarse grain.
When the noise outside stopped, Gu Qingyao grunted coldly and went back to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she quietly got out of bed and changed into dark-colored clothing. She exited the courtyard and walked in the direction of the Zhang house.
She had no intention of letting the Zhang family off. In her previous life, her family had suffered greatly because of the Zhang family. She would certainly avenge herself in this lifetime.
For years, they had regularly come to their house, expecting to be fed. In particular, that bastard Zhang Jianguo, had even tried to take advantage of her sister-in-law in her previous life. Fortunately, he had been foiled, or her sister-in-law’s life would have been even more miserable. She would definitely make him pay for that.
She wanted to punch the Zhang family when they came to her house, asking for this and that. Unfortunately, the time was not right for her to act, so she had held her peace. Today, her chance had finally arrived.
She had recently been paying close attention to Zhang Jianguo’s movements. She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Zhang Jianguo had been beaten up around this time. At that time, everyone despised her, so she hid at home without daring to go out. But Chen Xiaocao and Chen Goudan had told her about it when they visited her!
Because her days seemed so long at that time, she practically counted each day. Now that she thought back carefully, she remembered the incident.
Zhang Jianguo had gone drinking with others and had gotten drunk. On his way back to the brigade, he devised an evil plan to take advantage of a widow from the brigade. However, the widow had a secret lover who lived nearby. When he heard the shouts for help, he had rushed over and given Zhang Jianguo a severe beating.
Everyone in Zhang Jianguo’s family spoiled him. He was greedy, lazy, and seldom worked. Now that he was drunk, he was no match for the other man. He had fainted after the brutal beating. It was not until the next day that someone found him by the roadside. His injuries kept him in bed for a month. After that, he avoided the widow whenever he saw her.
This time, she was going to give Zhang Jianguo a thrashing!
It was night and the wind was very cold. But Gu Qingyao felt great. She had tried to remain calm ever since she had been reborn and had a chance to start over again!
But she was ecstatic to pay that bastard back!
Zhang Jianguo had been drinking with some men from the neighboring brigade. He only returned around midnight. The Qing River Brigade and the Southern Lake Brigade shared the same commune. Several other brigades were also part of this commune. Zhang Jianguo was drinking with men from a brigade that was adjacent to the Qing River Brigade, but further away than the Southern Lake Brigade. The road by which he returned home was rather remote.
The widow also lived in a relatively isolated spot, and the road home passed by her place.
By the time Gu Qingyao hurried over, she saw that the fight had already begun.
The man was wildly punching Zhang Jianguo. There was a sack over Zhang Jianguo’s body, and the man was punching and kicking him violently.
He had been gagged, but Gu Qingyao had a keen sense of hearing and could hear a “Wu Wu” noise. This place was far from the most densely populated area of the brigade. It was late at night, and with a strong wind blowing, no one could hear him.
Zhang Jianguo had been drinking and he quickly fainted. The man dragged him away and the widow shut her door as if nothing had happened.
Gu Qingyao secretly followed them. At that moment, Zhang Jianguo was not badly injured. In these times, people were comparatively simple. Even though there were many bad people, there were few truly vicious ones.
Although the man had beaten Zhang Jianguo, he had not hit too hard. His injuries were all superficial!
But… she was different!
