âThatâs rightâ¦â Among the onlookers was Liu Xianglian, who had been hoping for someone to stir up trouble. Luckily for her, the opportunity came, and she didnât have to step forward herself. She glanced at Xiao Yuchuan and said, âBrother Chuan, I just want to speak a fair word, donât be blinded by your wife. Thereâs no land belonging to the Xiao family or the Li Family by the river in the south of the village, but there are many cornfields. You said your wife and Li Gui were there early in the morningâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuanâs face turned cold, âWe just happened to run into each other.â
âI saw the two of them muddling about, and judging by Li Guiâs looks, it definitely wasnât as simple as just running into each otherâ¦â Aunt Wang Qigu said while covering her leaky mouth.
Everyone was convinced that Su Qingyue had cheated on her husband. Ding Er said, âChuan, Li Gui is even more handsome than you, has a family fortune, and is educated. Which woman in the village doesnât want to be with him?â
âAh, once the scabs on Su Qingyueâs face have fallen off and she has a somewhat average-looking face, she had no beauty to speak of, but still managed to seduce Li Guiâ¦â
âSo much for the virtuous wife of the Xiao Familyâ¦â
âYou all want to die, huh!â Xiao Yuchuan said fiercely, âIâll put my life on the line today!â
Everyone wanted to hide, and Su Qingyue tried to stop him. âThird brother, since everyone wants to reason with me, I donât refuse to listen to reason. Donât take matters into your hands.â
Liu Xianglian thought to herself that Su Qingyue was really courting death. If Chuan had fought, maybe it could have delayed her death a little. However, she only had herself to blame for seeking death, so it couldnât be any better.
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with a pained expression. âWife, I canât let people slander youâ¦â
Aunt Wang Qi said, âChuan, I really feel sorry for youâ¦Your big sister said, the day before yesterday, your second brother was in Su Qingyueâs room, and yesterday, you were⦠She was sleeping with the both of you in rotation and still not satisfied, wanting to cheat⦠Youâre still helping this kind of womanâ¦â
Xiao Ailiu felt depressed and wondered how the matter ended up involving her, âI mean⦠what does it have to do with meâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuanâs fist creaked as he clenched it, and Xiao Ailiu was so scared she hid behind Yishan. âThird brother, why are you angry? I just saw second brother and you coming out of Su Qingyueâs room early in the morning⦠I didnât make it upâ¦â
Upon hearing this, everyone whispered that Su Qingyue could not live without a man.
Liu Xianglian kept examining the common face of Su Qingyue; though her figure was better, her face was far less beautiful than her own. She overheard Aunt Zhang telling others that Brother Chuanâs health was better now, and Su Qingyue, a promiscuous woman stealing men, would either be soaked in a pig cage or sold off. As long as Su Qingyue was gone, Brother Chuan would be hers, âBrother Chuan, donât make things difficult for Big Sister, sheâs telling the truthâ¦â
âOh!â Ding Er glanced at Liu Xianglian, âSister Liu, when did Xiao Ailiu become your big sister? Youâre calling her so intimately, donât tell me you still fancy marrying Chuan?â
âIâ¦â Liu Xianglian blushed and was too shy to speak.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âStammering⦠you really have that intention, huhâ¦â Ding Er laughed.
Someone said, âHey, donât say, sister Liu is quite pretty, and Chuan is so handsome, they do make a good match.â
âI think the two of them are quite well-suited. As for Su Qingyue, even if her face is healed, with all those spots and just an ordinary appearance, she doesnât deserve Chuan at allâ¦â
âIf Su Qingyue knew to cherish her blessings, it would be fine. But the fact she hooked up with Li Guiâ¦â
Almost everyone looked at Su Qingyue with contempt and shook their heads.
