Chapter 657 Fighting

After the person left, Du Mingxian waited. After a while, another old woman came in. This woman came in cheerfully and didn't look for anyone else. She went straight to Du Mingxian in the courtyard and said, "I heard that your family paid interest on the money you borrowed yesterday? Was the interest paid at a high rate of usury?"

Du Mingxian understood; the old woman in front had already leaked the news. She nodded helplessly, "That's how it is."

"Do you need more money? I can lend you some more."

"Huh?" She thought the person had come to ask for money, but it turned out this person had come to help again. "I don't need it for now."

The old lady was still a little disappointed, but seeing that Du Mingxian answered seriously, she didn't say anything. "Never mind, never mind, what we lent you yesterday was enough."

Du Mingxian looked at the old lady with a smile, feeling somewhat helpless. Sure enough, people think differently.

Three days later, a few more people came intermittently. Three came to get their money back, and two came to ask for more money, afraid of missing such a good opportunity.

The last one was a bit too much.

As Du Mingxian listened to the other person speak, her expression gradually darkened, but she did not say anything to send them away. The other person was getting more and more excited as they talked.

"Si Lang's wife, what do you think of this? Anyway, your family is short of money, and my family has money that we can give you. But my niece can't be a concubine."

"This is not because you and Silang are already married, but because my niece can reluctantly be a secondary wife."

Listen to that shameless tone! When this person came, Du Mingxian thought she was there to ask for money and was about to settle the bill, but it turned out she wasn't...

The other party came to promote her niece from her maternal family. She heard that the girl was fourteen years old this year, liked scholars, but no one else in the surrounding area had taken a liking to her, so she chose Ling Silang.

But since Ling Silang was already married, there was nothing she could do. Now, thinking that her family had some money, she was willing to settle for being a concubine, which was a huge injustice for her.

Du Mingxian watched as the other person kept opening and closing their mouth and talking, but she didn't hear a word of what they were saying. She just stared at their mouth and really wanted to punch them.

In the end, she couldn't hold back any longer, and before she knew it, she did it, punching the woman who had spoken to her. The woman thought that if she came over to say that she was giving money to the Ling family, the Ling family would be very happy.

It's normal for a successful man to have multiple wives and concubines. Now, her niece has taken a liking to someone, she's just a step ahead of others.

There's nothing wrong with that.

She had considered many possibilities: the Ling family would ask for more money, and Ling Silang's wife would make a scene. But she never imagined that Ling Silang's wife would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

The pain in her mouth kept her in shock for a long time.

Just then, a figure rushed in, shouting, "You shameless thing, are you short of men? If you're short of men, go find beggars or widowers on the street. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Why do you have to target other people's men? It's disgusting!"

Du Mingxian saw Widow Chen rush in like a cannonball, and sat on the woman, pressing her down hard. The woman tried to fight back several times, but had no chance.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the courtyard, and Wang Shi and Ling's mother, who were inside the room, were the first to hear it.

Wang was very anxious about the situation in the courtyard, but seeing that Ling's mother was not doing well, she disregarded her own poor health and rushed over to hug Ling's mother, gently comforting her, "Mother, it's alright, it's alright."

Through the window, she saw Du Mingxian standing to one side. The two women fighting were not from her own family, so she felt a little relieved. She didn't go out to see what was happening and kept comforting Ling's mother.

After gossiping in the village, Xiao Zhou was about to come back to cook when she heard the sound of fighting in the distance. She ran back quickly, and Liu, who was in the yard, also ran over when she heard the commotion.

When Xiao Zhou and Liu came in, they saw that Du Mingxian was alright. The two people fighting in the courtyard were on top of each other, and the woman being ridden was also busy, tugging at the clothes of the woman on top of her.

Neither of them recognized the two people fighting at first.

Xiao Zhou approached Du Mingxian and asked, "What happened? Are they from the village? Why did they start fighting like this?"

“My father married her second wife, and the woman he was with was from our village.”

"Whose side are we helping?"

Seeing that Widow Chen had been beaten enough, Du Mingxian thought that even though the people who came had done bad things, she couldn't just kill them. "They've beaten her enough. Now pull my father's second wife away."

Without asking any questions, Xiao Zhou and Liu went straight forward and pulled the person apart.

Widow Chen was also tired from fighting, and when someone pulled her up, she stood up directly.

The woman who was beaten was a well-known figure in the village. Her husband was a bricklayer with some skills, so their family was well-off, and the woman's family was also well-off.

The woman's family lived near the town and ran a small business there, living better than most villagers. As a result, she had high standards and got engaged to a family in town who owned a shop when she was young.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. A month before their wedding, her fiancé, whom she was engaged to, went out on a business trip and died unexpectedly.

The woman was branded as a jinx, and for a time no one dared to marry into her family. As she grew older, she finally met her current husband when her family built a house.

The two hit it off after a while, but the man's family didn't agree to the marriage at the time, since she had a reputation for being a jinx to her husbands, and most families wouldn't dare to oppose it.

The man was willing, and he eventually married her. Fortunately, nothing bad happened after they got married, and the woman was able to clear her name of being a jinx to her husband.

She lived a good life with her husband, had three sons and a daughter, and her life was going well. She got by smoothly all these years.

Her family was well-off, so the woman always felt superior to the villagers.

When the woman came over, she never paid any attention to Du Mingxian. She knew that Du Mingxian's family was just an ordinary farming family, which was incomparable to her own.

The Ling family is in trouble again and needs money. Her eldest brother, who dotes on his daughter and has seen Ling Silang's potential, is willing to give money to the Ling family for free, which can be considered as fulfilling his daughter's wish.

The matter seemed quite simple to her, but no one expected that Du Mingxian was not someone to be trifled with.

With the weight off her, the woman felt dizzy and her face burned, even a little numb. She struggled to get up, glaring fiercely at Xiao Zhou and the others in the courtyard, finally pointing at Du Mingxian, "You... just wait... for me."

"Fine, I'll be waiting," Du Mingxian replied calmly, her eyes filled with cold light.
