"fiancé?"

Isn't Xiao Li's boyfriend Battalion Commander Gu? ; "Comrade, you can't just say things like that. You could easily ruin someone's reputation."

"Su Li, you think you can have a good reputation? You dare to seduce my fiancé. I'll tear you apart today."

"Miss, is the fiancé you're talking about Battalion Commander Gu?"

Aunt Li wanted to confirm it. She had clearly seen it from the beginning; it was obvious that Battalion Commander Gu had fallen for Xiao Li first.

Murong Xiao answered first, "Yes, my brother-in-law is Gu Huanian. Our two families have long agreed on my sister's marriage to him."

Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.

Could it be that Battalion Commander Gu really was already engaged? If so, why did he still provoke Xiao Li?

Does he want to have his cake and eat it too? If that's the case, then Battalion Commander Gu is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Several other villagers chimed in, "We never expected Su Zhiqing to be so beautiful, and to do something like stealing someone else's partner."

Zhang Cuilan said bitterly, "I think she's just relying on her looks to seduce men everywhere. She's a vixen!"

"To be honest, with Battalion Commander Gu looking so dashing, who wouldn't be confused? It's no wonder Su, the educated youth, made a mistake," said the village's pretty widow.

"Hmph, look at you, so slutty. I think you're obsessed with men. Even if you like someone, you can't mess around with women. I bet she's only after Battalion Commander Gu's family background and his money." Zhang Cuilan directly accused Su Li of messing around with men.

If it weren't for her, her family wouldn't be in such a miserable state now. She would never let go of any opportunity to kick them while they're down.

“Shut up, you believe whatever people say. She said she’s Battalion Commander Gu’s fiancée, so she is? I’d even say she’s his mother. Do you think I look like that? You’re just jumping to conclusions. Don’t spread rumors about me.”

The group dared not say anything more, after all, the brigade leader's wife had a lot of authority in the village.

What if they make things difficult for them and force them to do menial tasks like carrying manure? That kind of work would really make them spicier.

Seeing their disbelief, Murong Lan curled her lips into a smile; "Whether you take me to her or not, it will be perfectly clear."

Su Jiaojiao had planned to come out to think about how to deal with the baby in her belly, but then she heard Su Li's name.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Battalion Commander Gu actually had a fiancée, which was indeed good news for her.

She said that a man as outstanding as Gu Huanian could not possibly be interested in someone like Su Li.

It turns out they just treated her like a toy.

She wanted to see how Su Li would handle things when she saw someone's fiancée showing up.

"You're here to see Su Li? She's my sister. There must be some misunderstanding between you. Come on, I'll take you there."

Murong Lan looked Su Jiaojiao up and down. She was quite pretty. Since she was her sister, Su Li must be just as good-looking as her!

Judging from this, she must be far inferior to her in terms of looks. I really don't know what Hua Nian saw in that woman.

"Let's go! You lead the way."

Su Jiaojiao walked ahead and said, "Comrade, I just heard you say that Battalion Commander Gu is your fiancé. I really didn't expect that my sister would seduce your boyfriend for a little money. I apologize to you on her behalf. I will definitely try to persuade her later. What she did was immoral, and messing around with men and women can lead to jail time."

Su Jiaojiao said this in order to get Lan to step up her game, preferably to make sure that Su Li’s crime of having illicit relationships was proven in one go.

Gousheng was just passing by when he overheard Su Jiaojiao's words.

He was somewhat angry. Although he was still young, he understood what Su Jiaojiao was saying.

She keeps calling her "sister," but she keeps saying bad things about her.

Then I saw her leading a group of people toward Su Li's house.

He quickly took a shortcut and was the first to reach Su Li's house.

Su Li was a little surprised to see Gou Sheng; "Aren't you going to school today? Why are you running so fast?"

"Sister, there are a lot of people coming this way. Su Jiaojiao said you stole someone else's fiancé, and that person is coming this way with the villagers. Sister, shouldn't you hide for a bit? What if they make a move later?"

"You stole someone else's fiancé?"

"Yes! That's what I heard Su Jiaojiao say."

Su Li chuckled softly and immediately understood. It must be Gu Huanian's childhood sweetheart, the one Shi Yuan mentioned, who had come looking for them.

The woman his mother liked was just getting along too well, and now, trouble is brewing. "It's okay, I'm not afraid. If one comes, I'll take it on; if two come, we'll take them on. It's no big deal."

Seeing that Su Li was calm and even smiled, Gou Sheng felt relieved.

"It's cold outside, Gousheng, come inside and sit down."

While the two were having a cup of tea in the main room, Su Jiaojiao arrived at Su Li's house with a group of people.

Such a grand spectacle is thanks to Su Jiaojiao, who spread the word as she walked: her sister stole someone's fiancé and was having an affair.

Some of the gossipy aunties and older women in the village were attracted by her story.

When Murong Lan arrived at Su Li's courtyard, Zhou Yuting just came out of her room.

Mistaking Zhou Yuting for Su Li, she stepped forward and slapped her across the face without saying a word; "You slut, how dare you seduce my fiancé! I'll beat you to death today, you shameless hussy!"

Zhou Yuting looked completely bewildered; "What are you doing?"

The other villagers were also stunned by the slap. Weren't they looking for Su Li? Why did they hit Zhou Zhiqing?

Hearing the noise, Su Li and Gou Sheng came out of the main room.
