Then, they dealt with Aunt Chen.
It was even easier to handle Chen Jiu's wife.
She was already a nagging woman driven by jealousy, and after what happened yesterday, she went home and was found out by Chen Jiu, who then beat her up.
The beating was partly because Chen Jiu was a pretty upright person and lived near Qiu Mingyan's family, so he often helped them with work. The two families, apart from the wives, got along quite well.
The other part was because Chen Jiu thought Feng Chengyue was good-looking. What's wrong with liking to look at pretty girls? In this mountain village, there's nothing much to see. Don't people like looking at beautiful things? He didn't do anything; why did just glancing at Feng Chengyue a few more times make his wife cause trouble for her yesterday? She even accused her of being a seductress, trying to lure him away.
In the city, it's not common to hit women, but in the countryside, it's quite normal, even more so in mountain villages!
