Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?
Fo...
As Zhen Wanwan listened to the explanations from those around her, she couldn't help but find them awful.
The foul language that Zhang Ergou's mother had just uttered was repeated verbatim by them, which made Old Lady Li so angry that she wanted to tear their mouths apart.
Zhen Wanwan didn't care much, but she felt a little wronged for the original owner.
She vaguely remembered that Zhen Wanwan was forced, and afterwards the man left behind silver and a jade pendant before leaving.
Because she had also accidentally ingested a sleeping potion, she couldn't see the man's face clearly at all. In addition, the original owner couldn't bear the shock, so her brain automatically filtered out those bad memories to protect her.
So after she took over this body, she only vaguely remembered the silver ingot and the jade pendant.
She had only just transmigrated and already had a portable supermarket; she hadn't even had time to look for the money her original owner had hidden away.
The more Chief Li listened, the more his head throbbed, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Looking at Zhen Wanwan, whose demeanor had changed from before, he couldn't quite tell which one was the real her.
At first, Zhang Ergou's mother was delighted that the people around her disliked Zhen Wanwan just like her. But who knew that in the end these people would also say that she was asking for twenty taels of silver!
She was so angry that she felt dizzy and had to pull herself together. Although she felt that she was in the right to scold Zhen Wanwan, she couldn't do anything about the village chief being the head of the Li family clan.
"Zhang Wangshi, what are you doing at Zhen's house for no reason?"
Clan Chief Li frowned and asked Zhang Ergou's mother, knowing full well what kind of people the Zhang family were.
Zhang Ergou's mother's eyes darted around, and when she saw Zhang Ergou lying on the ground, she instantly felt more confident.
"Waaaaah~ Village Chief, my life is so miserable! My son's life is even more miserable. My Er Gou was about to get engaged to the Yang family in Da Shi Tou Village, but who knew that they heard that Zhen Wanwan was pregnant with Ye's child before marriage."
Zhang Ergou's mother was frightened by Zhen Wanwan's look and stopped herself from blurting out the word "bastard child".
"The Yang family disliked our village's bad reputation, so they refused the engagement."
After explaining, Zhang Ergou's mother lay on Zhang Ergou's body and wept bitterly, repeatedly lamenting how unfortunate his life was.
When Zhen Wanwan heard Zhang Ergou's mother's words, she almost laughed out of anger. Wasn't this saying that she had harmed the whole village?
After all, every family has children, and their future marriages are extremely important. These words put her at odds with the entire village!
"Aunt Zhang, everything needs evidence. You can't just open your mouth and close it and throw mud at me!"
Clan Chief Li nodded upon hearing this, signaling Zhang Ergou's mother to produce the evidence.
Zhang Ergou's mother was a little confused. She had only come to Zhen's house to make a scene and gain some advantage, as her son had suggested. What excuse could she possibly have?
As for the daughter of Old Yang's family in Da Shitou Village, her family simply couldn't afford the bride price. They rolled their eyes at them and didn't even want to look at them, so the marriage naturally fell through.
"I...I'll wait until Er Gou wakes up, then I'll have him go to Big Stone Village to find witnesses!"
Zhang Ergou's mother felt a little guilty and thought she would discuss a solution after her son woke up. Now that she was all alone, she didn't know how to deal with this situation.
How could Zhen Wanwan possibly let them go?
Judging from Zhang Ergou's ruthless actions, it's clear he's no good, and we still don't know what their purpose is in coming to the Zhen family.
"Dad! Did you see that? Our Li family was bullied terribly! Your granddaughter almost had her head smashed with a stick. If that son of a bitch hadn't gone crazy, your granddaughter would have taken the child to see you!"
When Chief Li heard what Old Lady Li said, he understood that she wanted him to make a decision, after all, he had once been saved from death.
"Yushun, go to Dashitou Village and find out what's going on with Lao Yang's family. Try to come back as soon as possible; we still need to deal with things here!"
"Yes, Father, I'll go right away."
A middle-aged man with a stubble beard and a slightly muscular build quietly agreed to Chief Li's request, and then quickly walked towards the village entrance.
Zhen Wanwan remembered that this was Li Yushun, the second son of the village chief. The village chief's family was relatively small, with only two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was named Li Fengtiao, the second son was Li Yushun, and the daughter had already married and moved to the town to live before the Spring Festival last year.
Watching Li Yushun's retreating figure, Zhang Ergou's mother felt anxious. She knew he would be exposed when he returned. Looking at Zhang Ergou, who was still convulsing, she came up with a plan.
"Village chief, my Er Gou has always been very healthy and has a good appetite. I don't know why, but he suddenly collapsed when he was helping Zhen Wanwan."
Zhang Ergou's mother changed the subject and continued, "It must be Zhen Wanwan holding a grudge. My Ergou didn't want secondhand goods and helped raise someone else's son, and as a result, she held a grudge against him."
These words left Zhen Wanwan completely bewildered. How did this turn into Zhang Ergou rejecting her? How could she be so shameless? Even someone like Zhang Ergou, who would be looked down upon for carrying her shoes, was despised.
"Pah! You, Wang Zhaodi, if you don't want that mouth of yours anymore, I'll just take a pair of scissors and cut it off for you, so you won't get mouth ulcers and spout nonsense."
Old Lady Li rushed towards Zhang Ergou's mother, determined to tear her mouth apart. This was the first time Zhen Wanwan had ever seen someone spread rumors so openly in front of others.
To be honest, Zhen Wanwan was also angry. She regretted not knocking Wang Zhaodi unconscious with electricity earlier and ending the matter once and for all.
The villagers watching were enjoying the spectacle, pointing and gossiping about Zhang Ergou's mother after hearing her words, not caring whether the news was true or false, as long as their gossipy nature was satisfied.
Suppressing her anger, Zhen Wanwan said something shocking: "Aunt Zhang, last night I saw Uncle Zhang and Zhang Ergou go to Widow Wang's house at the village entrance one after the other. I don't know what they were doing in the middle of the night, it sounded like they were fighting. You should go home and ask Uncle Zhang if he was hurt."
That's true, but it wasn't last night. The original owner discovered it by chance when he got up in the middle of the night because he had an upset stomach. The father and son were really into it.
Zhang Ergou's mother was getting restless. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong with her husband, but unfortunately she couldn't find any evidence.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Wanwan exposed her in public, which made her somewhat annoyed, but even more so, she felt hatred towards Widow Wang.
Zhang Ergou's mother patted the dust off her clothes and wanted to hurry home, but how could she let Zhen Wanwan leave unscathed after offending her?
An accident occurred when Zhang Ergou's mother deliberately bumped into Zhen Wanwan.
"Mom, my stomach hurts so much..."
Zhen Wanwan seemed to have been hit by Zhang Ergou's mother. She was lying on the ground, her face pale and covered in sweat, looking as if she was about to ascend to paradise.
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you! Move aside... move aside..."
Her father and her two older brothers are back!
Zhen Wanwan looked at her eldest and second eldest brothers with some weakness. Her eldest brother, Zhen Fugui, was handsome but strong, probably from doing farm work.
Second Brother Zhenfu, who usually loves to joke around, now looks serious, his face turning black with anger.
Her father, Zhencai, was also very worried when he saw her in this state, but there were more important things to do now.
"Chieftain, there's chaos outside... Let's escape..."
