Chapter 430: Chapter 420 Li Hongjun’s Revenge
After Li Hongjun returned home on the weekend, Shen Yunfang told him about the incident. Her goal was to find the best way to get revenge. She wanted to make Shen Yunxiu aware it was them retaliating while also ensuring that Yunxiu wouldn’t dare publicize it. The main point was to teach her a lesson so she wouldn’t dare to provoke their family members again.
Well, the requirements were plentiful, and the difficulty was high.
Having heard everything, Li Hongjun’s eyes narrowed, and an involuntary, menacing aura emanated from him.
"Alright, I’ll handle this. You don’t need to worry about it anymore," he said before turning and walking out.
"Hey, where are you going? Really, just explain things clearly," Shen Yunfang said, with a surge of irritation as she watched him walk away.
It wasn’t until past eight that evening when Li Hongjun returned home. He said to Shen Yunfang, "Those two scumbags are in the hospital now. If there’s a next time, just tell me. I’ll make sure they don’t survive it."
Shen Yunfang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "What happened? Tell me the details."
So, Li Hongjun lied on the bed, boasting about his heroic deeds to his wife.
Actually, his method of retaliation was quite crude. After leaving the house, he contacted Ma Liguo, and after a brief discussion, they headed straight to the Fang Family’s doorstep to lie in wait.
Just as the Fang Family members finished dinner and came out for a stroll to aid digestion, an accident occurred. Shen Yunxiu and Fang Chengjian suddenly both collapsed to the ground, accidentally knocking their legs against bricks placed nearby. Everyone present heard two distinct cracking sounds, followed by two heart-wrenching screams, which frightened everyone present and made their hair stand on end.
It took a while for everyone to realize what had happened, and they rushed over to check on Shen Yunxiu and her husband. Seeing that their legs were immobile, they hurriedly sent them off to the hospital.
Shen Yunfang was of course delighted to hear of such a fate befalling those bastards, but she was more worried about her own family member. "So many people were there, how did you guys make your move? Did anyone see you?" Things would be troublesome if someone had witnessed the act.
After all, it would be a case of intentional injury. If Li Hongjun was caught for this, he would have no future prospects. She hated Shen Yunxiu but didn’t want to implicate her own husband.
Li Hongjun looked at his wife as if to ask if she thought he was stupid, "I’ve completed many high-risk tasks before. If I got exposed over something like this, I might as well be dead."
As he spoke, he pulled a slingshot out of his pocket, "See this? This is what I used to take care of them."
Shen Yunfang couldn’t believe what she saw; that slingshot was hers. She snatched it, examining it front and back to confirm it was indeed the one she used to shoot sparrows back home. "When did you take this, and you’re learning from me now?"
After consuming Essence of Life, Shen Yunfang’s physical condition had improved significantly. Back in her hometown, she could guard an entire wheat field with just a slingshot, no sparrow dared to approach her territory.
However, compared with Li Hongjun, her combat experience was lacking. She had never once considered using this skill against people.
Li Hongjun pulled his wife into his arms, snatched the slingshot from her hand and threw it to the ground, then leaned in over her.
"Wife, don’t worry about who I’m learning from. Isn’t there that saying, ’It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat’?" he said as his hand began to wander over his wife’s soft flesh.
Seeing him become frivolous again, Shen Yunfang quickly grabbed his wandering hand, "What are you busy with? I haven’t finished asking yet."
"No need to ask anymore, by tomorrow you’ll know everything," he said. "Come on now, today your man has played the unsung hero for the stability and unity of our family. What you should be thinking about now is how to reward me. Otherwise, how can I be expected to keep up the energy to fight for our family and kick away the crap blocking our path to happiness?"
"Oh, I’ve noticed. That party school of yours really didn’t go to waste, did it? Your glib tongue has gotten quite impressive. What do they even teach you at school? Just how to wage verbal battles?" Shen Yunfang looked at him with no small irritation.
"You’re looking down on people, aren’t you? Alright, let me show you that it’s not just my glib tongue that’s impressive."
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, a certain someone got up, made breakfast, and affectionately bade farewell to the two little treasures before shooting his wife a knowing glance that only the two of them understood. Then he spiritedly headed back to school.
Leaning against the door, Shen Yunfang watched Li Hongjun strut away and couldn’t help but feel both annoyed and amused. Her man seemed to get younger as he aged.
Ah, the steady, earnest, and shy big boy she’d first met was long gone.
After tidying up and eating the lovingly prepared breakfast her husband made, Shen Yunfang took the kids out for a stroll.
Sure enough, after wandering around for a bit, she found that the incident of someone getting their leg broken on level ground in the Hongsheng Residential Area, after a night of fermenting, was the talk of the place.
There were many versions of the story, and Shen Yunfang heard three just by wandering around. The consensus was that the Fang Family had not accumulated enough good deeds, and that’s why they met with such a calamity.
Shen Yunfang was relieved that nothing concerning her husband Li Hongjun had come to light.
Ah, it was the concerns of an ordinary person’s heart. Although she hated Shen Yunxiu, she had never thought of taking revenge like this. It was only Li Hongjun who had the audacity, and if the police had noticed anything amiss, it wouldn’t have been playacting.
Once her mind was at ease, Shen Yunfang cheerfully took the kids out shopping.
Later, more gossip about the Fang Family circulated. It was said that the Fang Family’s son and daughter-in-law both broke their legs and, not having enough funds, the family chose to prioritize treatment for their son, who was about to take the college entrance exams. As for the daughter-in-law, they had no choice but to apologize. However, since she was already married into the Fang Family, even if her leg didn’t heal properly, it wouldn’t be a problem; the Fangs wouldn’t mind at all.
A few days later, new news emerged that Shen Yunxiu had been taken back by the Fang Family to recuperate at home, while Fang Chengjian was still hospitalized. Shen Yunxiu was furious that the Fang Family didn’t provide for her medical treatment and was causing quite a scene at home, making life for the Fangs rather lively these days.
A few more days passed and the word was that Shen Yunxiu had gotten some money from her parental home and checked back into the hospital. Somehow her leg had healed misaligned, so the doctors had no choice but to break it again and reset the bone properly. My goodness, they say that on that day, her screams could be heard throughout the entire hospital. It scared a perfectly good kid to tears.
After hearing this, Shen Yunfang, whether it was true or not, laughed quite unkindly and with great mirth. Look at that, they say that good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil; it’s not that there’s no retribution, just that the time hasn’t come yet.
On the eve of the new semester, Shen Yunfang received a letter from her hometown. It was from Uncle Shen.
Without even reading it, she guessed what was written inside, but she opened it anyway and went through it.
As expected, Uncle Shen wrote about Shen Yunxiu’s broken leg. The old couple was anxious but since the round-trip was costly, they couldn’t make the trip again. Although Uncle Shen didn’t explicitly ask for anything in the letter, it was clear from the lines that he wanted her to visit Shen Yunxiu. Regardless of everything, she should go and give Shen Yunxiu some support, to let the Fang Family see that Shen Yunxiu still had her own family to stand by her, so she wouldn’t be bullied.
After reading the letter, Shen Yunfang folded it neatly and put it into the drawer. She wasn’t going to visit; she could only apologize to Uncle Shen.
