Meanwhile, Phoebe Huxley was giving Mandy York a one-sided beatdown. Mandy York had no strength to fight back at all, her face already swollen like a pig's head. But Phoebe Huxley wasn't done yet, landing a curse with every blow.
"My little girl has never been hit a day in her life, and you, you old bitch, dare to lecture her? Have maggots eaten your brain? I'll beat you to death and toss you in a cesspit to feed the maggots!"
"Your daughter was sticking her nose where it didn't belong! What we plant is none of her damn business! She's a wild, un-raised brat, and she deserved to be taught a lesson!"
Mandy York was still talking tough, but in truth, she just looked miserable. Her injuries weren't serious and would heal in a few days. Phoebe Huxley had been holding back. As fellow villagers, she couldn't possibly deal a fatal blow.
"Say that again if you dare! I'll smash your teeth in!"
