Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Zhao Youquan Finally Takes a Firm Stand

"So what if it’s a threat? I, Liu Xiulan, have no other skill but this sharp tongue. If you don’t believe me, just try me!"

Liu Xiulan was relentless, showing no signs of remorse with her provocative words.

"Fine, then I’ll call the county mayor right now and tell him that Zhao Youquan doesn’t have the money for the road construction in the village!"

Wang Hao turned around to call the county mayor.

Zhao Youquan’s face turned pale with fear at the side, and he hurriedly went after Wang Hao to stop him.

"Wang Hao, Wang Hao, I will definitely fix the road, I must fix it, please don’t tell the county mayor!"

Zhao Youquan clung desperately to Wang Hao. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"With your wife speaking to me like that, how can I dare let you work on the road?"

Wang Hao spoke with a strange tone.

"Whatever she says doesn’t count for shit. If I say the road will be fixed, it will definitely be fixed!"

Zhao Youquan was already sweating profusely with anxiety.

If Wang Hao were to inform the county mayor now, the mayor would surely send someone to investigate the village’s fund usage. When that happened, it wouldn’t just be a simple matter of Zhao Youquan losing his fortune—he would be thrown in jail.

"Fix your mother, if I say the road won’t be fixed, then it won’t be fixed!"

Liu Xiulan also came out and grabbed Zhao Youquan.

By now, Zhao Youquan was burning with rage, thinking about how this damned woman only considered her own comfortable life, completely disregarding his fate.

If he let Liu Xiulan continue with her tirade, Wang Hao might really go to the principal in anger to complain, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Slap!"

Angered, Zhao Youquan slapped Liu Xiulan across the face.

"If you interrupt again, I’ll kill you today!"

Zhao Youquan seemed truly enraged this time.

Liu Xiulan was stunned by the slap; in all their years of marriage, Zhao Youquan had never hit her before.

"You actually hit me!"

Liu Xiulan stood in shock for a while before she came to her senses. Pointing at Zhao Youquan’s nose, she cursed with grinding teeth.

"Damn you, Zhao Youquan, if I give you money to fix the road today, then I might as well take your surname today!"

Liu Xiulan stormed out as she spoke.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Youquan grabbed hold of Liu Xiulan.

"What am I going to do? I’m going to drive those road workers out of our village right now and see who else will fix the road for you!"

Liu Xiulan shook off Zhao Youquan’s hand with a furious shout.

Without that money, her good days were over, and she was not willing to return to her previous hardships.

"You’re getting feisty today, aren’t you? It seems you really don’t understand the situation until I deal with you properly!"

Zhao Youquan caught Liu Xiulan again, this time pinning her to the ground.

If he really let Liu Xiulan go on a rampage and drive away those working on the road, when the higher-ups came to investigate the whole incident, Zhao Youquan would truly end up in prison with just his bedroll.

The more Zhao Youquan thought about it, the angrier he became. All the money he had embezzled had been squandered by that woman, yet at a crucial moment, she was only thinking about her own luxury living, without any regard for his feelings.

"If you step out that door today, believe me, I will kill you!"

Under the menace of imprisonment, Zhao Youquan finally regained his authority.

"Zhao Youquan, dare to touch a hair on me today and see what happens!"

Liu Xiulan stood with her hands on her hips, her demeanor fierce and aggressive, showing no consideration for Zhao Youquan.

"Smack!"

Just as Liu Xiulan finished speaking, Zhao Youquan went up and slapped her mercilessly once again.

The slap was fierce, and Liu Xiulan’s face immediately bore five bloody marks.

"Zhao Youquan, I’m going to fight you with all I’ve got today!"

Liu Xiulan had never tolerated such humiliation before, and she got up, ready to brawl with Zhao Youquan.

After all, Zhao Youquan was a man and certainly stronger than Liu Xiulan.

Previously, he had let things slide because Liu Xiulan was young, pretty, and his wife, and he also wanted to cherish moments in her affectionate care.

Now, when they truly confronted each other, Liu Xiulan obviously couldn’t compete with Zhao Youquan.

At this point, with Zhao Youquan’s life on the line, and Liu Xiulan only having eyes for money, completely disregarding his life or death, Zhao Youquan could no longer tolerate it.

Liu Xiulan grabbed Zhao Youquan’s hair, but now he was determined, grabbed her hand like a yam and gave Liu Xiulan’s face two more slaps.

"Zhao Youquan, you damned brute..."

"Smack!"

"I will definitely..."

"Smack!"

Every time Liu Xiulan opened her mouth, Zhao Youquan followed with a slap, each one heavier than the last, quickly causing both sides of her face to swell and redden.

Enraged Liu Xiulan knew she was no match for Zhao Youquan empty-handed, so she grabbed a hoe and swung it at him, but as a woman, her reflexes and speed were not as fast as a man’s.

The hoe was quickly wrested away by Zhao Youquan, and seeing the woman aiming to seriously harm him, he didn’t pity her anymore and directly kicked her hard.

Liu Xiulan was kicked painfully, let go of the hoe, and collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.

Zhao Youquan had seen Liu Xiulan’s true face and cursed her as she lay on the ground.

"Still daring to make a scene now? If you dare utter a word about Wang Hao and Widow Zheng’s affair, I’ll beat you to death, you wretched woman."

Now that Wang Hao had the county mayor backing him, Zhao Youquan dared not offend him in the slightest. If he angered Wang Hao because of Liu Xiulan’s nonsense, he, Zhao Youquan, would die wrongfully.

So no matter what, Zhao Youquan had to find a way to seal this wretched woman Liu Xiulan’s mouth shut and not let her recklessly spread a single word.

"Zhao Youquan, you’re nothing but a complete bastard. After all, I’ve been with you for so many years, and this is how you treat me!"

Liu Xiulan sat on the ground and burst into loud sobs.

"And you, Wang Hao, all this trouble started because of you, I won’t let you go..."

"You still dare to scream, damn it!"

As soon as he heard Liu Xiulan hurling insults again, Zhao Youquan immediately charged over and started beating and kicking her, and before long, Liu Xiulan was bruised all over.

Zhao Youquan was still a man after all, how could Liu Xiulan stand a chance in a fight? She was already beaten to the point where she couldn’t stand up by Zhao Youquan.

But for the sake of self-preservation, Zhao Youquan didn’t stop, insisting on beating Liu Xiulan until she admitted her wrong.

Wang Hao stood aside watching with indifference. What kind of person was Zhao Youquan? Liu Xiulan even dared to threaten him, and this was the consequence.

Moreover, this Liu Xiulan had no shame. Despite having a husband, she carried on an affair with Li Guang, yet she had the audacity to speak of Zheng Cailian. She really deserved to be beaten to death!

But Liu Xiulan really was a standard shrew, refusing to submit to Zhao Youquan’s vicious beating.

It seemed that Zhao Youquan didn’t quite understand the woman by his side, so Wang Hao decided to help him out.

"Liu Xiulan, do you still remember this year, while we were gathering corn for your family, you and Li Guang were in the cornfield..."

Wang Hao stopped his sentence midway and then looked meaningfully at Zhao Youquan.
