In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 179 Give Everyone an Explanation
When the villagers heard they were going to catch an adulterer, they immediately went wild.
"What did Old Mrs. Chen say? Catching an adulterer. Whose adulterer is she catching?"
"Who else could it be? Zhanshan lives in the sugar mill, and besides Qing Ya, there's only Lin in his family. Isn't this obvious?"
"You mean there's someone outside the Lin family?"
"That's what you said, I didn't say that."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense here. Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible. Lin is definitely not that kind of person."
"That's true, but you can only know a person's face but not his heart. No one can see into anyone else's heart. No one can say for sure whether Lin is such a person."
"That's impossible. I don't believe Lin would steal a wild man."
"What's impossible? If it wasn't Lin, who did Old Chen catch adultering?"
"You all should stop talking and just listen and you'll know."
When Wu Baoan heard the news, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he scolded her harshly, "Auntie, I'm warning you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Each family should live its own life. Don't look for trouble. If you dare to make trouble again, don't blame me, the head of the village, for not showing you any mercy."
Old Lady Chen squinted her eyes, her face full of sarcasm. "Security guard, don't be impatient. As the saying goes, you can't make rice dumplings without reed leaves. That damn girl hasn't gotten up yet. If you don't believe me, why don't you go inside and take a look?"
Wu Baoan waved his hand dismissively, "What are you looking at? This is simply impossible. I believe in Qing Yatou."
"It's no use trusting her."
Old Mrs. Chen sneered,
"I saw it with my own eyes. That damn girl's mean look is disgusting. She squeaked and squealed, just like a cat calling its lambs in the middle of the night, a dog wandering around, a sow being bred, or a donkey in heat..."
"Shut up!" Wu Baoan shouted as Old Lady Chen's words became increasingly outrageous. "Auntie, have some dignity. How can you treat your own granddaughter like this?"
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by indecent? Everything I said is true. That damn girl really did something shameful."
Old Mrs. Chen smiled maliciously.
"We've all been here before. Even though we're outside the courtyard, listen carefully to what's that noise in the house."
After hearing what he said, everyone calmed down and pricked up their ears.
The cowshed was already full of drafts, and as everyone quieted down, a series of face-blushing slapping sounds and the moans of a woman in pleasure could be heard from the room...
Wu Baoan's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists, a little bit unbelievable. There must be a misunderstanding here.
In order to protect Qing Yatou's innocence, these people must not be allowed in. He gritted his teeth and shouted to the villagers who were watching the excitement,
"Zhanshan is being affectionate with his wife, why are we standing here together? Let's all go."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then the village's big-tongued Yang laughed and said, "Village head, you must be mistaken. I just saw Chen Zhanshan packing things in the Wu family's old house. How could he be inside?"
Old Mrs. Chen knew that Wu Baoan was always defending Chen Qingqing, so she deliberately fanned the flames. "That's right, Baoan, I know you have a good relationship with Qing girl. The truth is right in front of us, and you still defend her. Could it be that she is also having an affair with you?"
Wu Baoan was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Shut up! You're not the type to insult others like that!"
"I'm slandering people. Since you have nothing to do with her, you should be fair and impartial and let everyone know the truth without bias, instead of stopping them."
Old Lady Chen said this, putting on a righteous look.
"Although Qing is my granddaughter, our Nanshan Village has always been a place of honest and simple people. How can we allow her to corrupt the morals? Since she has done such a shameful thing, our Chen family must give everyone an explanation."
Such a righteous act of sacrificing one's own relatives moved all the villagers present and they all spoke up.
"Village head, Old Lady Chen is right. If Qing girl has done something shameful, she must be put in a pig cage. Our village will not tolerate such shameful things!"
"That's right, she's corrupting public morals, so she deserves a taste of her own medicine. Throwing her in a pig cage wouldn't be the least of her worries!"
"That's right, such a slutty woman should be enslaved and suffer for the rest of her life!"
"Our village has always been a place of honesty and integrity. We can't let her ruin our reputation. Only by throwing her into a pig cage can we set things right!"
"Yes, if you really do such a shameless thing, you must follow the rules of our ancestors. Women will be thrown into a pig cage, and men will be beaten to death. Let's see who dares to do it again!"
"No matter what, let's catch them first. They'll either be thrown into a pig cage or enslaved. No matter what, they won't be spared. They must pay the price and never stand up again!"
......
Although Old Lady Chen spoke with great righteousness, she did not think so in her heart. As long as it was proven that the dead girl seduced the wild man, she would have to marry Fan Tong. Fan Tong was a wealthy man in Qingshui Town. Who would dare to put her in a pig cage if he liked her?
She waved her hands with a look of deep sorrow and grief, "Everyone, follow me and see which man this damn girl seduced."
When the villagers saw Old Lady Chen taking a step forward, they also rushed into the yard.
Wu Baoan was extremely anxious and tried to stop everyone, but was pushed aside by the crowd. He stamped his feet in anxiety.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded.
"What happened? What are you all doing around my house so early in the morning?"
Hearing the voice, everyone stopped and looked back, only to see Chen Qingqing standing behind the crowd, staring at them with a smile.
"You, you, you..." Old Mrs. Chen's eyes widened instantly, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and her mouth was wide open, unable to utter a word.
Old Man Chen was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, his face filled with horror and disbelief. He pointed at Chen Qingqing with a trembling finger, "You, why are you here?"
Chen Qingqing pretended to be confused. "If I'm not here, where should I be? And what are you doing bringing so many people to my house so early in the morning?"
Old Man Chen shook his head and looked at Old Lady Chen in disbelief. "Old lady, what on earth is going on?"
At this time, Old Mrs. Chen recovered from the fear that almost made her faint. It must be this dead girl who sneaked out.
Thinking of this, she shouted to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, you all heard it just now. This dead girl has been abused. She is now a complete piece of trash. We must drive her out of Nanshan Village."
"Okay, please be more polite! Qing girl clearly came from the sugar factory, why was she treated so badly? How can you put the blame on others like this?" Wu Baoan scolded impatiently.
Old Mrs. Chen shook her head vigorously, not believing it was true at all.
She saw Chen Qingqing being knocked unconscious with her own eyes last night, how could she not be in the room?
Who is the person in that room? Could it be Lin?
Lin is fine too, but as long as Fan Tong has slept with her, there is no way she can get her money back.
Old Lady Chen glared at Chen Qingqing fiercely, "Since you are not in the room, it must be that bitch Lin who is cheating on the wild man."
