ITBBS Chapter 8

“You wretched jinx, you worthless girl—ah!”

Then everyone saw Li Zhaodi fall flat on her face, letting out a howl. She was stepped on and couldn’t even get up.

“Go on, keep cursing, you old hag. Sure enough, a cheap wretch born from a cheap wretch. Your whole family is a bunch of useless idiots.” Shen Yao stomped hard on the trash under her feet.

“Shen Yao, you idiot! It’s only right that you got used by me, you good-for-nothing girl. Let my mother go right now!” Ye Cailian was furious seeing her mother being hit. Her ugly face twisted as she glared at Shen Yao with venomous eyes. She raised her hand to slap her.

But Shen Yao was no longer afraid of such threats. Her phoenix eyes gleamed with cold light. Without a word, she dislocated both the right hand and the jaw of the white lotus on the spot.

“Hiss! Yao Girl really can strike hard!” The bystanders were all frightened by Shen Yao’s actions, and the murmuring grew louder.

“The team leader is here.” The crowd parted a little to the sides, and everyone saw Team Leader Shen Guoqing walking over with a worried expression.

Shen Guoqing looked at Shen Yao before him, his heart filled with both pity and relief. Ever since Guodong and his wife left, he had been afraid that this girl would suffer without anyone to back her up. Now seeing her stand on her own two feet, he felt at ease.

“Yao Yao, are you okay? Did they hurt you? Tell me, and I’ll beat those two bastards to death!” Xu Dani was extremely anxious. She had been at home making cotton shoes when her little grandson rushed back, saying that Aunt Yao had been beaten.

Xu Dani’s anger kept rising. Her eyes were fixed on Li Zhaodi. Today, she was determined to kill this wretched woman, who was always stirring up trouble and shrinking her duties. How dare she act as if the Shen family had no one left?

Shen Yao took a look at the pitiful state of Li Zhaodi and her daughter before saying, “Uncle, Auntie, I’m fine. They’re the ones in trouble.”

“Yao Yao, what exactly happened? Tell us, and we’ll stand up for you.”

Shen Guoqing’s intuition told him that something must have happened that they didn’t know about. Otherwise, given this girl’s temperament, she wouldn’t have just gone around hitting people.

“Uncle, here’s what happened—”

“Ye Cailian just asked me for the job quota again, and when I refused, she hit me.” Shen Yao then secretly pinched herself and started fake crying pitifully.

Heh! She detected with her spiritual power that the Ye family members were all watching from behind. Today, she was going to teach this whole family a harsh lesson. She didn’t want to drag this out overnight and make trouble for herself.

Ye Cailian was extremely anxious, but she couldn’t speak and could only howl and whimper. She sat on the ground with a pale face. She knew it was all over now.

“What? Yao Yao, are you saying Ye Cailian came to ask you for the job?” Shen Guoqing finally understood the reason for the conflict. He didn’t expect Ye Zhiguo’s family to be so shameless.

“Wow!”

The surrounding villagers all turned their eyes on the Ye family, unable to believe they could be so shameless.

More importantly, with such shameless behavior, anyone who married that Ye Girl would be asking for trouble!

Shen Guoqing was furious and cursed directly, “Ye Zhiguo, how much longer are you going to hide in the back like a turtle? Get over here and explain this to me right now!”

“Team Leader, you can’t just listen to Shen Girl’s nonsense. How can you talk about something that never happened?” Only then did Ye Zhiguo step out from the crowd. His temple was throbbing, and he felt extremely guilty.

He knew exactly what his youngest daughter had done. The whole family had discussed this job matter beforehand.

They thought that since the girl had no parents now and was weak and easy to fool and had always agreed to everything his youngest daughter asked for, they dared to let Cailian come and demand the job quota. Who knew that this wretched girl would learn to fight back?

“Enough, Ye Zhiguo, don’t make excuses here. None of us are fools. Yao Yao, tell us how you want to settle this.”

He had long been disgusted with the Ye family’s ways. They were always shirking work and stirring up trouble. Not a single good person in the whole family. It was about time someone dealt with them.

“Uncle, I don’t want to make things too ugly. As long as Ye Cailian returns everything she stole from me, including that new cotton-padded jacket she’s wearing, which she just stole from me. Plus, considering we’re from the same village, I’ll give her a thirty percent discount. Everything together comes to exactly thirty yuan in cash.” If she didn’t make the Ye family bleed, she wouldn’t be Tyrant Yao.

“You worthless girl, you’re dreaming! Ah! It hurts so much! Help!” Li Zhaodi shrieked as Shen Yao stepped on her.

Shen Yao looked at Li Zhaodi with a cold glint in her eyes. This old hag’s mouth still stank. Why couldn’t she ever learn her lesson? Couldn’t she speak nicely? Did she really have to resort to violence?

“Go on, keep cursing, you old coward.” Shen Yao couldn’t be bothered with more words. She dragged Li Zhaodi up and slapped her more than a dozen times, only stopping when her face was swollen like a pig’s head.

“Wuwu… I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Here’s the money!” Li Zhaodi’s head was spinning from the beating, and her spine was throbbing with pain. Panic began to set in. She didn’t dare act up anymore. She was really afraid that this girl would kill her, and even her voice was trembling a little.

She had been the bully in Shenjia Village for years and had never lost a fight. Yet today, she was taken down by this wretched girl, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Shen Yao looked at Li Zhaodi and smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile was chilling. “Then pay up now. Let the team leader and everyone here witness that this money is what your daughter owes me.”

“I hear you! Here! Take it all!” Li Zhaodi fumbled inside her waistband and pulled out thirty yuan, handing it to Shen Yao. Although her heart was bleeding, she really didn’t dare provoke this girl anymore. She was just too terrifying.

Shen Yao didn’t stand on ceremony. She tucked the money into her pocket and then looked at the Ye family and the people around her.

She knew that many of them had all sorts of schemes in mind, so she had to make an example of someone. Only then could she live in peace.

Her gaze sharp as she looked at the Ye family, her voice extremely cold: “Ye Cailian, I’m not the same Shen Yao who let anyone bully her. If you dare bully me again or try to take advantage of me in the future, I don’t care who you are. I’ll still cripple you, just like this!”

Shen Yao channeled her internal energy and kicked a stone at her feet with force. With a crack, a large stone three or four meters away from the yard shattered into pieces.

The people around were dumbfounded. The sound of gulping saliva could be heard constantly. Everyone couldn’t help but feel a tightening in their chests.

They all knew that Shen Yao’s words weren’t just meant for Ye Cailian. This was a warning shot aimed at all of them.

Everyone thought to themselves that as soon as they got home, they would tell their families to stay far away from Shen Yao and never provoke this evil spirit, or they would surely suffer.

Even Ye Cailian’s family was stunned. Seeing the shattered stone, they were terrified, afraid that Shen Yao would make their heads burst open.

From that day on, whenever the Ye family saw Shen Yao, they would take a detour.
