Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 140: Lingering Stalemate

"Erhua! Sanhua! Sihua! All of you, get her! We’re going to the police! I refuse to believe there’s no law and order left in this world!"

Mr. Li was held back by his sons-in-law. Seeing his wife kowtowing for dear life, he stomped his feet in a rage.

Sheng Yueyue had, after all, spent several years training on the farm, so when the Li family’s daughters charged at her, none of them could catch her.

Li Erhua was furious and raised her hand to slap Sheng Yueyue. However, before her palm could even connect...

Sheng Yueyue grabbed her arm, kicked her in the leg, and sent her sprawling to eat dust. Then, she planted a foot on her back.

Sheng Yueyue’s face was as dark as a thundercloud. "Bitches," she snarled. "I’m telling you, if you dare try anything rough with me again, I’ll kill you."

Pinned to the ground, Li Erhua seethed with rage, her eyes as wide as saucers. "You... you’re using your status to bully us! Waaaah..."

Sheng Yueyue retorted arrogantly, "So what if I’m using my status to bully you? Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you try to grab me? Believe it or not, I can have my dad destroy you."

When Li Sanhua and Li Si Hua saw their second sister pinned to the ground, they didn’t dare rush forward. Instead, they stayed put, stomping their feet and shouting curses.

"You... If you’ve got the guts, then kill us..."

"Everyone, come and see! The official’s daughter is killing people!"

Sheng Yueyue gritted her teeth in fury. "Hitting you is nothing! Shout again, and I’ll hit you again! Second Brother, come over here and help me beat them to death!"

After her arrogant declaration, she aimed a kick at Li Sanhua, but Sanhua was a big, brawny woman herself.

There was no way Sheng Yueyue could send her flying. In fact, she nearly lost her balance and fell.

Li Sanhua actually stepped forward and grabbed her, keeping her from falling. To the surrounding crowd, however, it looked like Li Sanhua had tried and failed to push Sheng Yueyue over.

"Yueyue, just ignore them! Let’s go home and eat!" Song Zijin shouted from within the crowd, making no move to help her.

’If Sheng Yueyue hadn’t stuck her nose where it didn’t belong,’ he thought, ’none of this would be happening.’

At first, he hadn’t understood what was going on. But after listening for a while, he realized that this entire family was brutish and unreasonable.

Their main goal was to get their son out of jail, and it was Sheng Yueyue’s own fault for being stupid enough to get involved.

This whole mess had kept him from eating lunch. Song Zijin was starting to find Sheng Yueyue more and more irritating.

"I want to go home too, but they won’t let me leave! And they think they can pick a fight with me?"

Song Zijin: ...

’She’s a fool and doesn’t even know it!’

It was obvious they didn’t actually want to offend her; they just wanted to use her to get to her father.

The onlookers had figured it out, too. The Li family wasn’t going to actually hurt Sheng Yueyue, so they were content to just watch the drama unfold without getting involved.

Getting mixed up with that family was just asking for trouble. They were a bunch of shameless thugs.

Mrs. Sheng was so angry she could have fainted. Her daughter was clearly being blackmailed by this family and didn’t even realize it, still screaming about fighting and killing. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Sheng Shiwen supported his mother, making no move to join the fight. Ever since Gu Jiaojiao had chewed him out, he always thought about the consequences of his actions.

’Besides,’ he thought, ’this family is just trying to provoke Yueyue. They won’t actually hurt her. But getting away from them won’t be easy.’

"Your dad can destroy us? Is he really that powerful?" Mrs. Li was no longer kowtowing.

Sheng Yueyue’s voice, laced with curses, rang out. "Of course my dad is the most powerful person there is! You want him to save your son? In your dreams!"

In her past life, she had never left the family compound and had no idea how powerful her father truly was, but that didn’t stop her from bluffing.

"If you don’t save my little brother, we’ll report you and send you to jail! My brother assaulted someone on the street, and you’re doing the exact same thing!" Li Sanhua shouted, stamping her foot.

A loud "SMACK!" echoed as a slap landed across Li Sanhua’s face, making her see stars and knocking her hair into disarray.

"That’s for being so arrogant... I’ll beat you to a pulp~" Sheng Yueyue had been stomping mad this whole time.

"I..." Li Sanhua started to say something, but then felt it was pointless.

She couldn’t help but smile bitterly. ’Go on, hit me,’ she thought. ’It would be even better if you crippled me. That would give us a better chance of saving my brother.’

Had the slap dazed her?

Of course not. She was doing it on purpose. Their only goal was to get Li Huangya out.

Seeing that Li Sanhua had stopped shouting, Sheng Yueyue assumed she was scared and felt a secret thrill of delight.

"Pah! A bunch of worthless nobodies acting like you’re so important. I’ll take all of you down."

Cursing, she walked over to Li Si Hua. Li Si Hua had already closed her eyes. ’Go on, hit me.’

Sheng Yueyue grabbed Li Si Hua’s chin and asked viciously, "Who were you cursing just now?"

Li Si Hua snorted. "I was cursing you. You hit my mother and my sisters, and now you’re trying to coerce my father."

"SMACK!"

The blow left Li Si Hua dizzy. The corner of her mouth started to bleed and her lip began to swell, but she didn’t fight back.

"You... Let go of me... Everyone, look! This rich young lady is killing people in broad daylight!" Li Si Hua struggled, but to no avail.

"Ahhh—" she suddenly shrieked, her body going limp as she fell backward.

"What’s wrong?" Li Si Hua’s husband rushed forward to catch his wife around the waist.

He knew his wife was just putting on an act, but what if she fell so stiffly that she actually hurt her back?

Sheng Yueyue lashed out with a vicious kick, and the couple went with the momentum, tumbling to the ground together.

"Hmph. Get up. You dare to fight me? Do you even know who I am?" Sheng Yueyue demanded arrogantly.

’What a joke,’ she thought. ’I’m the chosen one—invincible! See? I just knocked over a burly, grown man with a single kick.’

The members of the Li family on the ground wailed in agony, shouting over and over that Sheng Yueyue was using her power to bully them and that they were going to the police.

Meanwhile, Sheng Yueyue felt incredibly powerful, knocking down one person after another. ’I could probably take on ten of them,’ she thought.

She felt she had completely wasted her past life, letting the daughters of the He Family walk all over her.

Sheng Yueyue was at the height of her arrogance, while the Li family were a pack of bold scoundrels. No matter how Mrs. Sheng pleaded, neither side would back down.

Mrs. Sheng knew that if she just promised to have her husband get the Li family’s youngest son out of trouble, her own daughter would be fine.

But she didn’t dare make such a promise. Even the second son of the Dong Family, who was a deputy police chief, had been helpless in this matter. Her husband wouldn’t be able to get the Li family’s son out, either.

The two sides remained deadlocked for the entire afternoon, neither willing to give in.

Dong Qiming rushed back to school, but the bell for class rang the moment he arrived. He didn’t even get a chance to speak with his Cousin Jiaojiao.

After suffering through an entire class period, he finally pulled Gu Jiaojiao outside and recounted everything he had seen.

"You want to get your youngest uncle out of trouble, too?" Gu Jiaojiao asked, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Not at all! He’s in jail because he deserves it. He’s always throwing my dad’s weight around to bully people."

"So your dad knows about this? Then why doesn’t he control him?" Gu Jiaojiao was shocked. She had assumed Dong Qiming’s father didn’t know.

"He does try. When it gets bad, he’ll even lock him up for a few days. But when he’s released, he doesn’t change his ways—in fact, he gets even worse."

"Besides, all the women involved later claim it was consensual, so the matter is dropped after a payout."

"My sister and I were dreaming he’d finally mess with the wrong person, so he’d stop asking our mom for money to pay off his victims."

"I have no idea what big shot he provoked this time, but they’re actually looking to lock him up for life. They won’t even settle for money, hahaha..."

Gu Jiaojiao looked at the gloating Dong Qiming and, parting her red lips, said, "He provoked me~"
