Chapter 93 -090 A Merciless Kick (Part 1)
Heart racing?
Did Song Laosan’s heart race?
When he heard that Song Jiawen had become the provincial top scholar, not only was his heart racing, but both he and Xie Jingying nearly had heart attacks and keeled over.
“Wasn’t it said that this girl couldn’t compete with others in the city, and her grades had declined? How did she still manage to become the provincial top scholar?”
Xie Jingying, full of anxiety, couldn’t even be bothered with the villagers. She simply closed the front door and went back to her room to call Song Xiwen.
Just a few days ago when the scores had first become available, Song Xiwen already knew Song Jiawen’s scores were shielded, and it was Zhou Youming who had learned about it through a phone call from his uncle.
At that time, Zhou Youming had even remarked with emotion, “I knew Jiajia was a good student, but I never thought she could be this good—making it into the top fifty of the whole province.”
When the results came out, it was more than just the top fifty; she became the provincial top scholar.
Now, Zhou Youming’s school friends, colleagues, and leaders all knew his younger aunt had become the provincial top scholar, and they were clamoring for him and his wife to treat everyone.
Song Xiwen was initially quite pleased, as everyone has a sense of vanity, and she was practically becoming famous in the school’s family residence because of Song Jiawen. Whenever she went downstairs and ran into someone, familiar or not, they would ask, “Little Song, I heard your younger sister became the provincial top scholar? That’s incredible!”
The family residence was primarily occupied by intellectuals, and everyone truly expressed happiness and envy when they said those words.
But once she received a call from Xie Jingying, Song Xiwen’s pleasure felt as though it had been doused with a bucket of cold water, completely extinguished.
Because only her parents and she knew that Song Jiawen was not her biological sister.
Oh no, now it wasn’t only the three of them who knew; Jiajia knew as well.
“Did that girl really become the provincial top scholar?”
“Yes, uncle and grandma know too, and Youming is very happy. Mom, this is a joyous occasion for our family; don’t let everyone down.”
Song Xiwen was covertly reminding Xie Jingying that this was not the time for inappropriate words or actions.
“I understand what you’re saying, but… I heard the provincial top scholar has to be on TV, and there will be reporters coming for interviews. Xiaoxi, if she goes on TV and someone were to…”
“Mom,” Song Xiwen interrupted Xie Jingying, “what’s meant to come will come. I’ve already told Jiajia the truth. As for what happens next, we’ll take it one step at a time. I’m not afraid anymore.”
Because fear was futile.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Jingying sat frozen in her chair, unmoving.
That’s when Song Laosan walked in from outside, saying, “Shuqin came by, both she and her husband have lost their jobs, and Dean Chen has been arrested. Shuqin says… that it’s all because of that girl that Dean Chen got locked up.”
They all knew about the incident where Chen Yijie had gone to the city to find Song Jiawen and then was hit in the head with a brick by her, causing quite an uproar.
But hadn’t things calmed down in the past few days? So why was Dean Chen arrested?
“What exactly happened?”
Song Laosan shook his head, “I’m not sure about the specifics, but Shuqin was cursing that girl nonstop at mother’s place, and I’m afraid… it really might have something to do with her.”
“How is that possible? She’s just a student…”
Xie Jingying’s words came to an abrupt halt. She suddenly remembered Song Jiawen was not just any student now; she was also the top scholar.
In their eyes, as common folks, though they were unsure of the extent of the power and capability of a top scholar, they knew it was impressive.
But it was beyond their wildest dreams that such prestige could lead to the removal of the head of the county hospital.
Of course, what they couldn’t even imagine was that Zhou Youming and the Yang Family had a hand in the dismissal of Director Chen.
“So what do we do now? Now that she’s become famous, is it possible her family will come looking for her?”
Song Laosan pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, “If they come, they come; what can we do? Luckily, mom and Yanhai have been good to her, and Xiaoxi is fond of her, too. I hope she’ll consider their feelings and not let her family hold a grudge against Xiaoxi for hiding her back then.”
Could they really not hold a grudge?

Xie Jingying wasn’t comforted at all. She was on edge all day. In the afternoon, as she was carrying a basket to pick vegetables in the field, she passed by her mother-in-law’s house and heard her sister-in-law Song Shuqin cursing in the yard. To her shock, Shuqin spared no one her wrath, not just Song Jiawen but also Song Xiwen and Song Laosan and his wife. She even cursed her own brother, saying he “deserved to die without an heir.”
Had Xie Jingying not heard it, all might have been well, but having heard it, how could she let Shuqin off the hook?
Immediately, she kicked the gate open and charged in, grabbed Song Shuqin by the hair, and slapped her twice, “I’ll teach you to curse, I’ll teach you to curse, you thought I was easy…”
Neighbors who enjoyed a good spectacle had already gone to find Song Laosan, “Laosan, you’d better hurry up and see; your wife and your sister are fighting. It’s not right for Shuqin to lose her job and take it out on your daughter. She’s been cursing for half the day and still hasn’t stopped.”
“Indeed, who could bear that? Your wife is right to hit her.”
“But with the old lady taking sides, your wife is bound to suffer.”
Song Laosan dropped what he was holding and headed out, wondering when had his wife started to stand up for that girl?
Their homes were not far apart, and it only took Song Laosan a few steps to reach his mother’s house.
By then, quite a crowd had gathered at the door, but there were few trying to mediate or break up the fight, each one seemingly wishing they had a handful of sunflower seeds to sit down, eat, and watch the scene unfold.
As Song Shuqin had Song Laotai’s help, and Xie Jingying didn’t dare to touch the old lady, the situation was different from the start, with the disheveled woman looking quite pitiable.
As soon as Song Laosan arrived, he heard his wife retaliating and cursing, “Even if your brother is a loser with no descendants, he’s a hundred times better than your good-for-nothing man. You lost your job because you’re incompetent and come here to vent your anger… I’ll teach you to curse…”
Song Laosan’s face darkened instantly, and in two strides, he grabbed Song Shuqin by the collar of her clothes and yanked her over before flinging her aside. Immediately following with a kick, there was a loud thump as Song Shuqin’s body flew into the wall behind her.
The inside and outside of the courtyard fell silent in an instant, everyone’s mouths agape in shock at the scene.
Song Laotai looked at Song Laosan and then at her little daughter lying motionless on the ground, and plopped herself down on the ground, raising her arms, “Oh my heavens…”
“Shut up!”
Song Laotai’s scream was stifled by an even louder roar from Song Laosan, making her choke, her face turning beet red, which seemed especially comical.
“Laosan, what on earth are you doing?”
Song Laosan’s older brothers had been called over from their homes and arrived just in time to witness his vicious kick.
That kick from Song Laosan had indeed been fierce; even now, Song Shuqin hadn’t recovered, her mouth agape without emitting a sound, from the pain and the shock alike.
As the only daughter in the family, although not overly pampered, none of her four brothers had laid a finger on her since they were young, and even the sisters-in-law had been polite to her.
But today was different, with her sister-in-law pulling her hair and slapping her, followed by a worse beating from her brother…
Did the couple intend to beat her to death?
