"What's going on? Why is it so lively?" Xia Chunmei walked in carrying a basket of eggs.

Upon seeing Xia Chunmei, Zheng Xiaolan and Li Yu rushed over and grabbed her, saying, "This must be your doing! You did it, didn't you?"

"Let go of me, and explain yourself what I did."

Li Yu lost her temper: "The person in bed should have been you! Why wasn't it you who was unconscious? You dare to say you didn't secretly sabotage this! Did you switch the soup?"

"What do you mean by that? What? The person in bed should be me? What? I changed the soup?" Then, Xia Chunmei feigned sudden realization, "Mung bean soup? You put drugs in that mung bean soup! You want to..."

Xia Chunmei burst into tears: "No wonder you kept urging me to drink mung bean soup, no wonder my aunt invited me to stay for lunch, it turns out..."

Waaaaah... I have no parents, and you all bully me like this!

I thought I had a good aunt, and I was worried about how hard it was for her as a widow, so I went next door to buy ten eggs to give her as a treat at lunchtime. I never expected this... *sobs*

“I can testify to this. This girl said her aunt was very hospitable and wanted her to stay for dinner, but she came empty-handed and felt embarrassed, so she came to me and bought ten eggs, saying it was to show her respect to Xia Honghua. I never expected this, tsk tsk…” Xia Honghua’s neighbor, Wu Cuihua, stepped forward and said.

"You're all scheming against such a sensible and generous niece? Are you even human?"

Wu Cuihua continued, "You may not know this, but this girl is really pitiful. Her father died, and her stepmother ran away with all the family's grain and bedding. She also has three younger sisters to support, the youngest of whom is not even two years old. Many relatives don't like the sisters and are afraid that she will come to their door to freeload."

She said this aunt was incredibly kind to her, and since she had recently earned a few dozen copper coins from her cooking business, she didn't hesitate to buy ten eggs as a token of her respect for her aunt. And then…”

Xia Chunmei knew they would turn around and bite her, so in order to create more favorable rumors for herself, she went next door and spent eighteen coins to buy ten eggs. She also told a story about her tragic life, which would further highlight Xia Honghua's wickedness!

It seems those eighteen coins weren't wasted.

Xia Chunmei cried uncontrollably: "Aunties, please tell me the truth, I really don't know anything!"

“Little girl, don’t be afraid, we can all testify for you.” Ma’s sense of justice erupted. “You’re all despicable! This young girl doesn’t earn money easily, and she was thinking of being filial to her aunt, but little did she know it was all a trap…”

Wu Cuihua: "Luckily, the young girl was lucky, otherwise she would have been tricked today. This kind of person does not deserve the respect of the younger generation."

"Trying to scheme against others, but ended up drinking the tampered mung bean soup himself. Now look what happened, he's ended up hurting himself."

Zheng Xiaolan and Li Yu looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"Xia Honghua doesn't deserve to be my aunt! She doesn't deserve to eat my eggs! I'm going back to tell my clansmen that you framed me!" Xia Chunmei stormed off, clutching the eggs.

Things had already achieved the result she wanted, and there was no need for her to stay any longer.

As for the ten eggs, she naturally took them to give to her own aunt.

"Come back! You brat, come back here!" Zheng Xiaolan tried to grab her again.

Lin grabbed the woman, saying, "What do you want to do? Let's talk about your mother-in-law's matter now. She's done such a shameful thing. Cuihua, go and call the village chief. Let's see if she's drowned or what."

Wu Cuihua ran away as fast as she could.

Zheng Xiaolan and Li Yu were furious.

However, Xia Honghua, the person involved, not only didn't wake up, but also snored loudly.

Wu Cuihua, Ma Shi, and Lin Shi were all tight-lipped. While Wu Cuihua was calling the village chief, she spread the word about it.

It quickly spread and became known to everyone.

A crowd of villagers, eager to watch the spectacle, surrounded Xia Honghua's house, making it impossible to move.

Some women even went to the bedside and lifted the quilt covering Xia Honghua.

"Oh, I didn't realize this big fool had some skills. Xia Honghua, that old woman, is really enjoying herself."

"Haha, Wang, you shameless bastard, why don't you try finding that big idiot yourself?"

"I'm not as promiscuous as Xia Honghua. My man is very capable."

...

A group of married women were chattering away, saying all sorts of inappropriate things, leaving Zheng Xiaolan and Li Yu speechless with anger.

At this moment, Huang Shulin, the village chief of Jiujingwan, walked in with a dark face.

Li Yu quickly stepped forward to clarify: "Village Chief, my son is not thinking clearly. I don't know who tricked him into coming here. Village Chief, you have to help us."

Zheng Xiaolan was dumbfounded.

“Li, you didn’t say that before,” Wu Cuihua said. “You tried to frame that girl, but you slept with the wrong person.”

At this point, Wu Cuihua revealed that Xia Honghua and her mother-in-law had conspired with Li Yu to frame Xia Chunmei. In her words, Wu Cuihua naturally sided with Xia Chunmei, describing her as pitiful and kind, which aroused everyone's sympathy for Xia Chunmei and their disgust and contempt for Xia Honghua and Li Yu.

"You are all worse than animals, how important is a young woman's reputation to you!"

"Indeed, luckily the girl was blessed with good fortune and escaped this calamity."

"Village chief, what should we do with Xia Honghua and the idiot?"

"They should be drowned."

Upon hearing that she was to be drowned, Zheng Xiaolan panicked.

Li Yu knelt down before the village chief and said, "Village chief, my son is an idiot. He's not very bright. He doesn't know anything. He was probably seduced by Xia Honghua."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zheng Xiaolan was furious. "I was saying that you let your son sleep with my mother-in-law while she was unconscious. When we came in just now, it was just you and your son."

Xia Honghua, a widow, had consummated her marriage with a mentally challenged man; her reputation was doomed no matter what.

But Zheng Xiaolan knew she absolutely couldn't let anyone confirm that her mother-in-law had taken the initiative!

Otherwise, it would be hung up as a da

The label of "g woman" made his family ashamed to continue living in Jiujing Bay.

“My son is only in his twenties, while Xia Honghua is an old widow in her thirties. How could my son possibly be interested in her?”

"Who knows, maybe your son just has such unusual tastes?"

"Stop arguing! Aren't you ashamed?" Huang Shulin scolded with a dark face.

Li Yu and Zheng Xiaolan then shut up, neither willing to back down, glaring at each other.

Huang Shulin said with a serious expression, "Everyone must keep this matter to themselves. No one is allowed to talk about it outside. We can't ruin the reputation of Jiujing Bay! As for Xia Honghua, she'll be drowned!"

"Why is it that the big idiot is fine, but my mother-in-law has to be drowned?" Zheng Xiaolan jumped out to object. "Village chief, you have to be fair!"

Huang Shulin: "Huang Jinzi is an idiot!"

"Yes, my son is an idiot, he doesn't understand anything!" In the past, Li Yu hated it when people called her son an idiot, but now she calls him an idiot all the time because she knows this is her son's only chance to escape!

“I don’t care! If you’re going to punish someone, punish both of them. Why should only one be punished? Besides, my mother-in-law is still unconscious, while this idiot is at least conscious.”

Huang Shulin was also in a dilemma.

At this moment, a village woman, who loved watching the drama unfold, laughed and said, "Village chief, why don't we put Xia Honghua and the big idiot together?"

"Haha, that's a great idea."

"Since one of them has no man and the other has no woman, they're a perfect match."

"Hahaha……"

"No way! You're all talking nonsense, believe me or not I'll tear your mouths apart!" Li Yu was so angry she almost vomited blood. Xia Honghua was eight years older than her son!

"Then let's sink both of them in the pond."

"That's right, when something like this happens, it affects the reputation of the whole village."

The village chief thought carefully for a moment and said, "Either you let your son marry her and the two of you move to the foot of the mountain behind the village to live away from everyone else, so as not to lead the younger generation astray, or the two of you can drown in the pond together!"

Zheng Xiaolan never expected things to turn out this way again. She was filled with regret and thought that she might as well just drown Xia Honghua.

At least this matter will fade away in a year or two.

But if Xia Honghua marries the fool, things will be different.

"How about... we just drown her?" Zheng Xiaolan said.

Li Yu slapped her across the face: "Zheng Xiaolan, if you really want my son to die, should I beat you to death, you little bitch!"

Li Yu didn't want her son to marry Xia Honghua either, as it would be shameful if word got out, but Zheng Xiaolan insisted on drowning him in the pond; in her eyes, she just wanted her son dead!

"If your mother-in-law hadn't come to me and said she had a way to find a good wife for my son, how could I have conspired with you to harm someone? It was your family that started this whole thing, and now you want to drag my son down with you? No way!"

"That's because you're all useless! You didn't even realize you slept with the wrong person! If you hadn't been drowned, we, the living, would have been pointed at and gossiped about forever!"

Good grief, these two actually started fighting and even started exposing each other's shortcomings.

Xia Honghua finally woke up.

Seeing the room full of people, and then looking at herself completely naked, she screamed in terror.

"Oh, you're awake! If you ask me, Xia Honghua really knows how to enjoy life. How about it, isn't this virgin big fool amazing!"

"Hahaha……"

"Pah! You shameless bastard!"

...

Some of the women watching the spectacle were gloating, while others made sarcastic remarks.

Huang Shulin: "Now you have two choices: either remarry the big idiot and move to the foot of the back mountain to live far away from us, or drown yourself in the pond. The choice is yours."

"I was framed! Village chief, it has nothing to do with me, I was framed, it was that damned girl Xia Chunmei..."

"You still have the nerve to blame others? If you hadn't harbored malicious intentions, how could such a thing have happened? Xia Honghua couldn't have seen how vicious you are."

"That's right. From now on, everyone should keep their children away from her, so they don't get sold off by her."

"Yes, stay away from her, you vile woman!"

...

The villagers were filled with righteous indignation.

Xia Honghua burst into tears, pounding the wooden boards with her fists: "My God..."

"Xia, Li, have you made a decision?" Huang Shulin asked impatiently. "Drowning or marriage?"

"Getting married, I choose to get married!"

Xia Honghua didn't want to die. She wanted revenge, she wanted to get revenge on Xia Chenshi. If it weren't for Xia Chenshi, how could she have ended up in this situation!

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaolan panicked: "Mother, don't be foolish! Think of Tianbao and Nizi!"

"You bitch, you wish I were dead, don't you?" Xia Honghua roared. "I won't die! I will definitely take my revenge! That bitch Chen Sanhua has wronged me so much, I will expose her true colors! And that wretched girl Xia Chunmei too!"

Knowing exactly what she was about to do, she actually went along with it, stripping herself naked and putting herself on the bed; otherwise, she might have ended up having sex with this idiot.

She didn't want to let either Chen Sanhua or Xia Chunmei go!

Zheng Xiaolan absolutely refused to let Xia Honghua and Huang Jinzi get married, but she couldn't do anything about it, so the matter was settled. There were some dilapidated houses at the foot of the mountain that no one lived in, so Xia Honghua and Huang Jinzi moved there.

The village chief even threatened that Xia Honghua was not allowed to wander around the village center, or he would drown her in the pond.

Li Yu had no choice but to agree, and she hated Xia Honghua so much that she wished she were dead right then and there!

If she hadn't said she'd find him a good daughter-in-law, none of this would have happened.

The Huang family was all waiting for Li Yu to bring back a wife, but instead he brought back a widow, who was also a grandmother!

The Huang family beat and verbally abused Li, and were equally rude to Xia Honghua, hurling all sorts of vile insults at her.

Xia Honghua retorted angrily, "What's the use of you cursing me? Do you think I have no dignity or shame? Now we should sit down and discuss how to get revenge!"

She didn't want to let Xia Chunmei, Xia Changjiang, or Chen Sanhua get away with it!
