"Because she's a monster!"
At that moment, a cursing voice came from outside the door, interrupting Xu Lai. A burly middle-aged man, clutching a bottle of liquor, staggered into the room. Behind him stood a plump woman. Shockingly, she was one of the people who had just been beating Wei Qing.
"Husband, it's this little wench who called the police," the plump woman said viciously, pointing at Ruan Tang.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged man, Zhu Liu, rubbed his eyes vigorously. In this remote village, he was a notorious bully. He'd been sponging off his parents since he was twenty and was still doing it into his forties. He spent his days getting drunk and demanding money from his elderly parents, who were nearly seventy. He was also no stranger to petty theft and was a regular at the town's police station.
Zhu Liu ogled Ruan Tang without restraint, clicking his tongue in admiration. "What a beautiful little lady."
"Brother Zhu, they're my friends. Please, cut us some slack…"
