Chapter 884: Chapter 194: Pulling the Logs from under the Cauldron

Suddenly, Pei Qin’s voice broke through, and Fang Hui, who was in the midst of crying and shouting, quickly turned her head to see Pei Qin still wearing a smile, immediately feeling uneasy.

"It’s this hand, isn’t it!" Pei Qin grabbed her right wrist with an undeniable grip.

Since eating something in the morning, she had been busy outside until now, and her hands were very cold. As soon as Pei Qin grabbed her, a chill ran through Fang Hui’s heart. It felt like something was coiling around her hand, and with a shiver, she quickly yanked back, "What do you want to do!? Are you trying to hit me!?"

Pei Qin held onto her wrist tightly without letting go, her other hand joining in.

A cracking sound was heard immediately after.

Then came Fang Hui’s sharp, agonized scream, "Ahhhhh—"

Grandma Feng saw Fang Hui’s hand droop as if it was broken and cried out in alarm, "It’s broken! Broken! You..." She pointed at Pei Qin, speechless. Fang Hui was her younger aunt, and she always spoke kindly; could it be that she had twisted Fang Hui’s wrist off right before everyone’s eyes!?

The reason they were here today was because they were hoping to bump into some scattered groups of people on the streets, along with small vendors, after the market had closed. Pei Qin cared about her reputation, and she also had to consider Pei Qian’s upcoming marriage, so even if she scolded indirectly, she wouldn’t dare to actually hit someone in public.

Yet, Pei Qin showed no regard and twisted Fang Hui’s hand upon arriving.

The crowd gathered around gasped in shock at the sight of Pei Qin and Fang Hui.

"Ahh! It hurts so much! It’s killing me!" Fang Hui held up her arm and howled in pain, the entire arm and half her body feeling as if it were being drilled into.

Feng Shouxing was also furious and yelled loudly, "Pei Qin! You actually hit your own aunt!?"

Pei Qin nonchalantly said, "I heard her right hand was sick. After she touched Pei Qian, she left a scar on my sister’s face. I wanted to see what was so strange about this hand. Where did I hit her?"

Pei Qian was standing on the other side with a bandage on her left cheek.

Upon hearing she was scarred and seeing her face wrapped, the crowd’s view of Fang Hui changed. Even though Pei Qian sometimes spoke harshly, she wouldn’t snub you as long as you didn’t offend her. Fang Hui had actually scarred someone’s face; such an act did not befit an aunt!

Fang Hui’s tears were real as she cried out without needing to fake them, streaming down as she sobbed, "She came over with a group of people asking for money. Without a proper conversation, they smashed my house to smithereens! I pulled her arm slightly, and it just happened to touch a bit. She kicked me, and it almost destroyed my belly, turning it blue and swollen. It hurt so much I couldn’t even sleep!"

Pei Qin asked, "So you’re saying, you two are even now?" She didn’t bother to argue about how a ’touch’ turned into scratches.

"She’s a junior, and yet she dares to beat up her own aunt. Who has ever seen such a niece!?" Grandma Feng angrily exclaimed.

"It was her who first cursed our missy as a bastard born without a mother’s teaching!" Hong Xia, who had also been beaten, glared angrily and retorted.

Instantly, Grandma Feng pointed at her and scolded, "You vile girl! Instead of properly serving as a servant, all you do is cause trouble! The incident with the broken white jade cabbages is also your fault. As a servant, you stir up mischief in the middle; who has bribed you!?"

Hong Xia, her face turning green with anger, retorted, "You blame me for the things you broke, so are you also going to blame me for selling the kimchi recipe!?"

"Nonsense! What selling kimchi recipe? We have no idea about that at all!" Grandma Feng’s eyes flitted about nervously as she shouted angrily.

The onlookers finally understood why the two families were feuding. The Kimchi Workshop not receiving cabbages and having their supply cut off was something everyone in town knew about. There were guesses that maybe Fang Hui’s house had bought them out. But it turned out they had sold the kimchi recipe.

"The recipe belongs to someone else; teaching it to you for profit was a matter of relationship. How dare you secretly sell someone else’s recipe; is this how you sever family ties!?"

"To make such a fuss, with relatives like these, better off without them!"

"The siblings were so pitiable before, and now the aunt dares curse her niece as an ill-bred bastard. How can she call herself an aunt!"

"If she had really been hit, she would have made a scene yesterday. I think she’s faking it!"

"Shameless hag! She never socialized before, but has taken so many advantages over the past few years, and now she’s still causing harm! Sold the recipe on the sly, let others come after her niece, what kind of aunt is this!"

Standing on the side of the crowd, Grandma Sun also spoke, "She wanted to take over all the kimchi, leaving no room for another family to make it. When she couldn’t monopolize it, she opened a noodle shop. She also wanted to open a Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, but since it didn’t work out, she’s now taking her revenge!"
