Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

When Zheng Erlian heard that, she realized they were insulting her daughter too. She wasn’t having any of it. Flinging open the courtyard gate, she spat at Li Xiaoju, ”You’re full of shit! Your daughter is the one nobody wants! Keep running your mouth and I’ll rip it right off your face.”

”Pah!” Seeing Zheng Erlian open the gate, Li Xiaoju immediately shot back, ”So the girls of your Old Su Family can shamelessly seduce men, but no one’s allowed to talk about it? If it weren’t for Su Qing, my husband and his brother, and my son and nephew, would never have been sent to the farm! You Old Su Family girls are nothing but a curse!”

”That’s right,” Zhang Shuoni, standing to the side with her hands on her hips, chimed in. ”This isn’t over. Your Old Su Family had better give us an explanation.”

”You have the nerve to say that? Don’t you know perfectly well why those men from your Niu family were taken to the police station?” Zheng Erlian said furiously. ”Besides, your problem is with Su Qing. What are you doing coming to our Old Su Family? We have nothing to do with Su Qing.”

”Pah! Isn’t Su Qing one of your Old Su Family? So what if she’s in a separate household? She still has the same last name,” Zhang Shuoni said quickly. ”Don’t even think about washing your hands of this. I’m telling you, the Old Su Family must give us an answer.”

”Bullshit! Go after whoever wronged you. Stop coming after us,” Zheng Erlian snapped, her hands on her hips.

”I don’t care! The Old Su Family must take responsibility! Your family’s girl caused this harm, so you have to compensate us,” Zhang Shuoni yelled. ”Otherwise, you’d better watch out, or none of your girls will ever get married! What decent family would want to marry a little harlot who seduces men?”

Su Mei, who had been listening to the commotion from inside the house, couldn’t hold back any longer when she heard Zhang Shuoni’s words. She stormed out of the house, grabbed a broom that was standing in the courtyard, and started swinging it wildly at Zhang Shuoni’s head and face. ”Your daughter is the one who won’t get married! Your daughter is the little harlot who seduces men! I’ll teach you to spout nonsense! I’ll beat you to death!”

”Ahhh!” Zhang Shuoni had been focused on arguing with Zheng Erlian and wasn’t expecting an attack from Su Mei at all, so she took the full force of the broom.

The broom, left out in the courtyard during the first month of the lunar year, was frozen hard as ice. It immediately raised several bloody welts on her face, some of which even started to bleed, making Zhang Shuoni grimace in pain.

When she saw clearly that it was Su Mei who had hit her, she flew into a rage. ”So it’s true! Not a single girl from your Old Su Family is any good! They’re either harlots who seduce men or violent shrews who attack people! No wonder the Old Su Family’s reputation is in the gutter! Pah!”

With that, Zhang Shuoni turned and smacked her own daughter hard. ”Your mother just got hit! Why are you just standing there like an idiot? Get in there and fight!”

Hearing her mother, Zhang Shuoni’s daughter, Niu Laidi, rushed forward and started scratching at Su Mei’s face. ”You dare hit my mom? I’ll kill you!”

Niu Laidi had done farm work since she was a child. Su Mei, who had been coddled at home her whole life, was no match for her. Niu Laidi immediately snatched the broom from her hands, then tackled her to the ground. With both hands, Niu Laidi went straight for Su Mei’s face, scratching wildly.

”Ah!” Su Mei was terrified. She had only attacked Zhang Shuoni in a fit of rage. Already worried about her future marriage prospects because of the scar on her face, she had been provoked by Zhang Shuoni’s words and rushed out impulsively. Now, pinned to the ground and being scratched by Niu Laidi, she was completely defenseless. ”Mom, save me! Mom! Aaaah! It hurts so much!” she couldn’t help but scream.

When Zheng Erlian saw her daughter thrown to the ground, she wasn’t about to stand for it. She rushed forward and kicked Niu Laidi hard.

”Oof!” Just as Zheng Erlian kicked Niu Laidi, Li Xiaoju’s daughter, Niu Sanmei, rammed into her, sending Zheng Erlian stumbling.

Enraged, Zheng Erlian slapped Niu Sanmei hard across the face. Niu Sanmei staggered back a few steps and bumped right into Zhang Shuoni. Furious, Zhang Shuoni lunged forward to grab and tear at Zheng Erlian.

Zheng Erlian refused to back down, and the two of them began brawling.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoju and Niu Sanmei also jumped in to help. In an instant, the women were all tangled in a chaotic fight. But with just the two of them, Zheng Erlian and her daughter were outnumbered and quickly started getting the worst of it.

Just then, Su Lifeng rushed out of the house, picked up the broom from the ground, and started swinging it at Li Xiaoju and the other women.

However, Su Lifeng was still young and had never been in a fight before. After just a few swings, Zhang Shuoni kicked him to the ground.

Seeing his son get kicked, Su Shengguo could no longer sit still. He charged out and started swinging at the Niu family women, not forgetting to shout back into the house, ”Third Brother, what are you waiting for? Get out here and help!”

Su Shengli dawdled out of the house, clutching his arm. ”Big Brother, my arm’s acting up, I can’t put any strength into it. I can’t help. I’ll just end up getting beaten instead of landing any hits. What a waste that would be.”

Su Shengli wasn’t worried anyway. ’I don’t have a daughter, so I don’t have to worry about whether she can get married or not. All that matters is that my son can find a wife.’

Hearing this, Su Shengguo shot Su Shengli a glare before throwing his fists at the Niu family women again. Su Lidong also rushed out to help.

In an instant, Su Shengguo’s family and the Niu family women were locked in a chaotic brawl. The villagers who had gathered to watch the commotion were dumbstruck. After a long moment, someone finally shouted, ”Hurry up and get the brigade leader!”

By the time Zhao Youcai was called over, he saw a tangled mess of people still fighting, not yet separated.

”What are you all standing around gawking for? Hurry up and pull them apart!” Zhao Youcai said angrily. It was the middle of the New Year, and these people were just watching the spectacle without a care for the severity of the situation.

Hearing Zhao Youcai’s command, a few people finally stepped forward to pull the fighters apart.

By now, both Su Shengguo’s family and the Niu family women were scraped and bruised. Even though Su Shengguo’s side had several men, the Niu women were all used to heavy farm labor, so neither side had come out on top. Even after being separated, they glared at each other like angry roosters, still spewing insults.

”Brigade Leader, you have to stand up for our family!” Old Su had Su Shengli help her out of the house. Wiping her tears, she said to Zhao Youcai, ”Our Old Su Family was just minding our own business at home, we didn’t bother anyone, and the Niu family came charging to our door! There’s no justice!”

”Pah! It’s because the girls from your Old Su Family are up to no good! The men in our family were sent to jail because of a girl from your Old Su Family! This isn’t over!” Li Xiaoju shouted, hopping mad.

”Pah! Our Old Su Family has nothing to do with Su Qing! If you have a problem, go to Beijing and find Su Qing! What are you doing coming after our family?” Zheng Erlian spat.

Zhao Youcai understood immediately. It was all because Su Qing had gotten the Niu family men sent to jail. He bellowed angrily, ”Wives of Niu Dashun and Niu Ershun! Don’t you have any idea what your husbands and sons did? They deserved to be sent to jail! They broke the law instead of doing honest work. Who else would be sent to jail if not them?”
