Chapter 54: Children Speak Without fear

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Chunmei nodded with a stiff smile. Then she asked, "Battalion Commander Si, Fenghua, are you looking for me for something?"

"Of course." Sheng Fenghua smiled and said, "We don't visit the three treasures palace for no reason. Why would we look for you if there's nothing?"

"Wh-what is it?" Li Chunmei stammered and asked. She already had a guess in her heart and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

When she spread those rumors, she didn't think that Sheng Fenghua would come to her house directly. She thought that she would be too angry to go out after hearing those words.

But unexpectedly, she once again didn't follow the rules and caught her off guard.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Fenghua sneered, turned to look at the onlookers in the corridor, and said, "I just heard a rumor that said I was only slightly injured. However, I pretended to be seriously injured in order to extort money from Sister-in-law Chunmei. I wonder who spread this rumor?"

Hearing this, Li Chunmei's face turned tense again, and she said awkwardly, "There... there's such a thing? Why don't I know about it?"

"Well, Sister-in-law Chunmei is a good person, so this rumor must not have been spread by you. It must be someone else."

"Of... of course."

"In that case, please find that person with me, Sister-in-law Chunmei. I'd like to see who is badmouthing me."

Hearing Sheng Fenghua's words, Li Chunmei panicked and said, "This... this is not very good, is it?"

"What's so bad about this? Since the other party suspects me, I have to let her experience the feeling of falling from the second floor. Let her see for herself whether it is a serious injury or a light injury."

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the onlookers changed. They had contributed a lot to this rumor. If Sheng Fenghua really did what she said, then wouldn't they all be miserable?

Of course, the adults were only shocked for a moment because they thought that Sheng Fenghua was probably just saying it for intimidation. After all, she was new here, so she couldn't offend everyone.

However, children were different, especially those who were caught by Sheng Fenghua. When they heard this, their faces turned pale, and they cried out, "No, I don't want to be pushed down the stairs, I'll fall to my death."

"Mom, she wants to push us! I don't want to die!"

"Bad woman, bad woman, she's a bad woman. She wants us to fall to our death."

"Mom, tell her, tell her that the rumor was started by Aunt Li."

The children shouted as they spoke, especially the last child, who pointed directly at Li Chunmei.

The child's mother looked at her child crying and making a scene and even pointing directly at Li Chunmei. She became angry and embarrassed.

This person was none other than Zou Ju, the wife of Wang Shan, the Vice Battalion Commander of the second battalion who had a good relationship with Li Chunmei.

She glanced at Sheng Fenghua and then at Li Chunmei, reached out, and slapped her son, berating him, "Child, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Although she had told the truth, only was she beaten, but she was also scolded. Naturally, the child was unwilling. She said loudly, "I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm telling the truth. Aunt Li came to our house and said that she wanted to teach that country bumpkin a lesson. She also said that she was a liar. She said that it was a light injury, but the bumpkin told everyone it was not. She said that she cheated her of a lot of money."

"You!" Zou Ju was angry and anxious. She raised her hand and was about to hit the child again, but Sheng Fenghua stopped her. She held Zou Ju's hand and said, "Zou, the child is not wrong. Why did you hit him? Don't tell me you have a guilty conscience?"
