Chapter 654: Showing off his power and beating up the Li family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
In Taoxi Village, some idle villagers sat under a tree at the entrance of the village and chatted about the gossip of the village. Someone suddenly said, "Did you hear that someone saw Yao Qingnian in Anding County yesterday. She was with a pretty boy!"
"Is it true? How come we haven't heard of it? Don't make it up!" Hearing her words, the villagers at the entrance of the village became interested.
"Of course it's true. I have a relative in the county town, and he saw it with his own eyes. He and that man were flirting with each other, and their behavior was very intimate."
"Yes, I've heard about this too, it's absolutely true!" At this time, Lin Meili walked over and said to everyone. She had always hated Yao Qingnian, and this was a rare opportunity to frame Yao Qingnian, so how could she be left out.
Someone came to her yesterday, gave her money, and asked her to spread news in the village to discredit Yao Qingnian. She agreed without saying a word. She was worrying about how to start the conversation, but unexpectedly, someone else took the lead. So, she just followed that person's words and started.
She thought, even if she didn't give the money, she would be happy to have the opportunity to cause trouble for the Lu family and Yao Qingnian, not to mention that she would get money! She didn't know who the vicious woman had offended, so who cares? As long as she could make her life difficult and ruin her reputation, she would be happy.
"Where did you hear the news? Didn't they say that Yao Qingnian went to visit relatives?" Everyone knew that Lin Meili and the Lu family didn't get along, so no one believed her words.
"Have you ever seen anyone who takes so long to visit relatives?" The women of the Li family and several people in the village who had a bad relationship with the Lu family gathered together and started talking at once. They also heard the news yesterday, but due to the Lu family's current status in the village, they only dared to discuss it in private. Today, when they saw Lu Huaijin coming back, they began to spread the news unscrupulously.
"Yeah, I haven't seen her for more than a year."
"Have you heard that two days ago, someone saw Yao Qingnian in the county town and said that she found a gigolo!" Lin Meili continued.
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true, someone saw it with their own eyes!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could Yao Qingnian be such a person!"
"Yes, you have forgotten that our village is now ranked among the best in the surrounding area. Thanks to the Lu family, we can live a well-fed and clothed life and don't have to fight for a wild vegetable. We don't remember their kindness, but the truth of the matter is still uncertain, and we can't jump to conclusions here. Who knows what the people who spread these rumors are thinking! I think someone is jealous of them and says this on purpose." There were also people who had received favors from the Lu family who stood up to speak for her.
"If Yao Qingnian didn't do anything out of the ordinary, why would she be afraid of us talking about it? Besides, there are so many people in the village, why don't you talk about others but her? I think this news is probably true. She ran off with a strange man."
"Yes, don't forget, she used to beat her parents-in-law and even abused her own son. How can you expect her to reform in such a short time? All she did before was just to confuse the villagers. In fact, she was just preparing to escape." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family said sarcastically. She was still brooding over the incident of stealing chickens. It was all because of that vicious woman Yao Qingnian. If it weren't for her, how could the villagers find out that they stole the chickens, causing their family to lose a large sum of money in compensation for the chickens? The matter also spread to her parents' home. She couldn't even raise her head when she returned to her parents' village. Her life was no longer as comfortable as before. She hadn't eaten chicken for a long time. Therefore, their Li family hated the Lu family, especially Yao Qingnian. On weekdays, she would get together with those people who were not on good terms with the Lu family and make up stories about the Lu family.
"You all, are you too full and have nothing to do, so you come here to talk nonsense? What happens to the Lu family is none of your business!" Widow Wang passed by and heard the criticism of the crowd, and scolded them. Although she didn't like Yao Qingnian, she had helped her mother cure her eyes and arranged things for her daughter to do. When she heard others talking about her, she couldn't help but defend her.
"Widow Wang, why are you here to join in the fun? We are talking about the Lu family, not you. Why are you so nervous?"
"I don't like it, what's the matter?"
"Even if we can't stand it, you have to let us watch. You're a widow, do you envy that vicious woman Yao Qingnian for finding a gigolo? That's right, after all, your husband has been dead for so many years, and you've been a widow for so many years. It's normal to be unable to stand the loneliness. We can all understand that! If it really doesn't work, I'll introduce you to a matchmaker. There's an old bachelor in my mother's village. He's determined to get married, and he has only one requirement, which is that she must be a woman. As long as you are willing, I guarantee you can marry her tomorrow." The Li family's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and giggled.
When Widow Wang heard this, she immediately flew into a rage. She rushed forward and grabbed Li's daughter-in-law and said, "You are such a jerk. You dare to say anything you want to say. If I don't show my power, you think I am a soft persimmon in Taoxi Village that you can bully at will. I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
"Ah! What are you crazy about! Let me go now, I'm telling the truth. If you don't let me go, my man will not let you go!"
"Even if the king of heaven comes today, I will first teach you a lesson, little bitch, and let you know what you can and cannot say! You are a bunch of lazy people in your family who do nothing but eat and work, and you still have the nerve to go out. If I were you, I would want to burrow underground to avoid coming out to embarrass our ancestors!" Widow Wang's bottom line was touched, and she was so angry that she slapped Li's daughter-in-law twice, making her scream.
"Ouch! Someone is hitting me! My waist, why are you just standing there? Pull her away!" The wife of the Li family was ridden by the fat widow Wang and could not move. She could only wail and ask for help from the people around her.
But they didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter and just watched the fun from the side. Although Lin Meili seemed to be on the same front with the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at ordinary times, she was unwilling to be the first to stand out for the sake of the Li family and provoke the evil woman Wang Guafu. So she hid in the crowd and pretended that she saw nothing.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and called the village chief and the Li family over.
"Widow Wang, you bastard, let my daughter-in-law go!" Old Lady Li came over and saw her daughter-in-law being pinned to the ground by Widow Wang. She was so angry that she cursed and immediately stepped forward to help. However, Widow Wang was very skilled. She didn't take Old Lady Li seriously at all. The two of them wrestled with each other. However, Widow Wang quickly pinned both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law to the ground.
It was not until the village chief came over that Widow Wang let the man go. She clapped her hands and got up from the ground.
