Su Qiao turned around.

Then they saw Captain Lu Fugui standing at the door.

The captain's face was grim: "Zhang family, have you forgotten the lesson from back then?"

Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered what happened back then.

But she was unconvinced; this was the first time a young junior had dared to talk back to her like this.

"Captain, you're worrying too much. This young educated youth is being indecent. Can't I even say something to her?"

"Tell me what I've done wrong, and provide evidence. Don't just talk nonsense."

Seeing that Su Qiao looked upright and showed no sign of guilt, Aunt Zhang panicked a little.

Is it really true that nothing of the sort happened?

"Captain, how about you be the notary?"

Su Qiao, this educated youth, had a bit of a bad temper, but she always acted in a proper manner.

Lu Fugui was naturally willing to be the guarantor.

Aunt Zhang wanted to back out, after all, she only saw Su Qiao rushing out in the morning...

Her meetings with men were all in her imagination.

Standing at the doorway, cracking sunflower seeds and watching the commotion, Wu Chunhua certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity.

If it weren't for Su Qiao, her daughter-in-law could have earned another half a day's work points that day.

It's all Su Qiao's fault for not cooperating.

Since they've already done the work in the fields, why can't they attribute it to her daughter-in-law?

In her opinion, it's all Su Qiao's fault for being too stingy.

Today I heard Zhang Damei talk about Su Qiao.

I came all this way just to hear the excitement.

Wu Chunhua arrived early and heard everything.

“Sister Zhang, didn’t you say you saw Su Qiao this morning, disheveled and rushing into the village? Isn’t that obviously making her a slut? What are you afraid of? Just say it directly.”

With the support of others.

It seemed that the image had actually appeared in Aunt Zhang's mind.

People also became more self-righteous.

Su Qiao knew that Zhang Dama must have seen her when she passed by Zhang's house that morning.

But she was definitely not disheveled.

Su Qiao sneered.

"Now I know where you got your evidence. So you can just talk your way out of things and get away with it. I clearly went to see Lu Xiangze this morning. What, is he some kind of random guy?"

Here, couples who are engaged can have normal conversations as long as they don't live together.

Because it's rare for engaged couples to separate.

Going to see Lu Xiangze wouldn't really count as seeing a random man; he's a man with a proper title and status.

"Who knows if you're going to see that kid from the Lu family? Who can vouch for you?"

"Although I don't need to prove myself, I can tell you that I have witnesses. Send someone to ask them now; the old man at the factory gate probably still remembers me."

"Then why did you stay out of the village for so long?"

Of course, Su Qiao couldn't say that she went to the reed marshes.

He said confidently, "I'm just an educated youth sent to the countryside. I don't have an oxcart. The roads are slippery when it rains. What's wrong with me walking a little slower?"

Indeed, no.

Can……

Aunt Zhang couldn't think of a rebuttal.

All they could do was argue and accuse, "You're so rich, he must have been bribed by you, he can't be a witness!"

Aunt Zhang is such a stubborn person, she's inflexible and won't admit it even if she's wrong.

Su Qiao suddenly felt very bored.

She has a clear conscience, that's enough.

Why fall into the trap of self-justification?

Su Qiao was standing against the light, so they couldn't see her expression.

She gently tapped her umbrella.

"Auntie, why are you saying this to me today? Could it be that you did something wrong but are trying to pin it on me?"

Otherwise, why wouldn't others criticize me? Only you came up with such a despicable thing.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Then produce the evidence. Who can prove your innocence?"

Aunt Zhang was furious.

Lu Fugui also looked at Su Qiao.

That's a good move.

He's so quick-witted at such a young age.

I'm suddenly a little worried about my nephew. What if he can't even win an argument with his wife in the future?

Aunt Zhang tried desperately to recall, but she was washing dishes at the time and it seemed that no one saw her...

She began to think hard.

Finally, I'll name one person.

"My daughter-in-law."

Su Qiao mimicked her tone and said with certainty, "She's your daughter-in-law, how could she dare to disobey you? She can't be a witness!"

Aunt Zhang then realized what was going on.

Su Qiao was just playing with her.

He reached out to grab Su Qiao's hair.

She was confident that she could tear Su Qiao's scalp off.

But she had just reached out her hand.

Su Qiao held the umbrella horizontally in front of her chest.

Aunt Zhang is short, and with Su Qiao blocking her way, she couldn't grab anything with her hands.

It could only wave its arms wildly in the air.

"Pfft—" Someone burst out laughing first.

Aunt Zhang turned around and saw that all the girls were looking down.

His shoulders were shaking incessantly; he was clearly smirking.

She completely erupted.

He rushed toward Su Qiao, the culprit, intending to knock her down and pounce on her to beat her.

Su Qiao took a step back to the side.

Aunt Zhang's face slammed straight into the door.

Su Qiao then noticed that there were barbs on the door.

Just use an umbrella to block it.

It stopped her momentum.

Aunt Zhang fell to the ground, still shaken.

The ground was covered with wet footprints, but Aunt Zhang lay there obediently.

After realizing what had happened, he didn't thank her, but continued to berate Su Qiao.

"You—"

A tall figure blocked their way.

She recognized the person instantly and immediately perked up.

"Eldest son of the Lu family, you've been deceived! This Su educated youth is unfaithful and has been seeing someone else outside!"

The sound was sharp and piercing.

Lu Xiangze just ran over.

He witnessed that scene, but he trusted Su Qiao more.

He knew Su Qiao's character.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Qiao assumed that he believed her.

A nameless anger suddenly welled up inside me.

She glared at Lu Xiangze.

Aunt Zhang was extremely pleased to see that he didn't say anything.

"She just made me fall. Don't you think she should pay me back!" She completely forgot about the captain's presence.

At this moment, Lu Xiang didn't care that her own father was still present and started cursing.

"Are you blind? If it weren't for Sister Su, you would have been killed long ago. What bad luck!"

Aunt Zhang stubbornly refused to admit it, insisting that if it weren't for Su Qiao, she wouldn't have fallen, and that it was all her fault!

Lu Xiangze stared coldly at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang felt as if she were being targeted by a venomous snake.

"I...I didn't say anything wrong." She shrank back.

"I can pay for it. I'll take care of it."

Aunt Zhang immediately beamed with joy.

"I don't need much, just twenty yuan will do."

The next second, Lu Xiangze added, "But Su Zhiqing did nothing wrong, you're just being unreasonable. So, to prevent you from being labeled a liar, I'll punch you a few times, and I'll give you twenty yuan to the hospital. You can keep whatever's left, how about that?"

"Aren't you a soldier?" After saying that, Aunt Zhang was stunned.

Lu Xiangze has already retired from the military; there are no rules to govern him anymore...

Aunt Zhang fell silent, wondering if she could endure the beating and save the twenty yuan by not going to the hospital.

The temptation of money was too great, and she jumped up and took a few steps toward Lu Xiangze.
