He Qiuhong will never forget that day...

That afternoon, she went to the fields to weed the rice as usual.

The temperature in July was not low, but He Qiuhong's family's field was right on the side of a mountain, and there was a row of big trees nearby that could provide her with shade, so it was not too hot when she was working in the field.

At her working speed, the weeds in the paddy field might be cleared by five or six in the afternoon. So when she went out at noon, she told her husband Zeng Jiejie that she would not be back until five or six in the afternoon, and asked him to stay at home by himself. If she came back late in the afternoon, she would cook porridge first and stir-fry the vegetables when she came back.

Zeng Jie had just finished his meal and was watching the news. He just nodded to indicate that he understood.

After explaining everything, He Qiuhong left.

But after working in the fields for about half an hour in the afternoon, she suddenly felt a little dizzy and worried that she had heatstroke.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go back and come back to weed the next morning.

Otherwise, if Makoto Tadari fainted, it would be troublesome.

She had originally planned to finish these things today and do other things the next day, but she didn't expect that she was getting older and her body was not as strong as before.

He Qiuhong shook her head and sighed as she walked towards home.

Because she was afraid that she would get seriously unwell if she walked under the scorching sun, He Qiuhong changed her route. Instead of taking the shortest ridge to her home, she took a detour to go back to the back mountain.

Going back to the back mountain, you will pass through a bamboo forest, which is quite cool.

When she came out of the bamboo forest, He Qiuhong was actually a little fatter, but since she was about to reach home, she didn't plan to take the risk of going to the fields again.

When they reached the door of the house closest to the mountain, He Qiuhong looked at the house with disdain as usual.

The house was a red brick bungalow without any tiles. It had only one floor and the second floor was never built for some reason.

The house may seem ordinary, but everyone in the village becomes terrified when they talk about it and they keep it a secret.

Because the person living there was a "romantic" widow.

The widow's name was Wang Lianxiang. She was not very old, only forty years old, but she had been a widow for twenty years.

She is not a local, but a young man from the village who went out to work when he was young and came back from hanging out with friends outside.

The young man brought her back to get married, and even held a wedding banquet. He also planned to renovate this house to make it their new home.

Unexpectedly, when he was repairing the second floor, the young man suddenly fell from the roof of the second floor. As soon as he fell, he hit a sharp stone below. The stone pierced the back of his head and the young man died on the spot.

The young man died, and his father cried and shouted, saying that Wang Lianxiang, the girl he brought back, was a jinx and that she was the one who killed his son.

Not only that, but we have to drive her away and make her leave here.

But Wang Lianxiang was not willing to agree. She and the young man had already obtained a marriage certificate and were already husband and wife. She also paid for the renovation of the house. Why should she leave?

In the end, after a big fight, the young man's father couldn't kick her out because Wang Lianxiang and the young man had their marriage certificate and it could prove that she paid for the house repairs.

After cursing and making a fuss, in the end there was really nothing the old couple could do. They could only announce in front of everyone that their family had nothing to do with Wang Lianxiang, and asked her not to look for them if she had any problems in the future!

At that time, everyone thought that what the old couple did was a bit too much.

After all, Wang Lianxiang had just lost her husband, and she was unfamiliar with this place and didn't even have any relatives. At least after marrying into their family, she would be considered a member of their family.

Besides, their son's death was not her fault, so why did they insist that it was all her fault?

But this was someone else's family affair after all. Moreover, Wang Lianxiang seemed to have no objection to the old couple's decision. She also told them not to come to her when they were old or sick, as there was nothing between them.

So both parties agreed to stop communicating with each other and severed all ties.

I originally thought that Wang Lianxiang, a woman with no land and little money in the village, would have a very difficult life.

But not long after, everyone noticed that she often went to the town, and every time she came back from the town, she was smiling and carrying a lot of things.

At first, everyone thought that she was spending the money she had earned from working outside. But gradually, when some villagers saw her walking together with a boss-like man in the town, holding hands intimately, everyone realized what was going on.

I'm afraid Wang Lianxiang got this money from that boss.

As for what kind of relationship she had with the boss, whether it was a serious relationship or some shameful one, no one knew.

But it was only two or three months since the young man died.

The villagers seemed to find it somewhat difficult to accept that she was with another man so soon.

What shocked them even more was that Wang Lianxiang and the boss did not end up together.

About half an hour later, someone in the town saw her walking with another man in an intimate manner. It was obvious that she had changed her partner.

The villagers' impression of her began to change slowly, and they felt that she might not be a "good woman".

Later, Wang Lianxiang didn't know whether it was because she had stayed in the village for a long time and became familiar with the people, or because she no longer cared about other people's opinions, but she started to bring men back and spend the night in her and the young man's house.

When the boy's father found out about this, he was so angry that he went to Wang Lianxiang and scolded her, calling her shameless and unashamed.

Wang Lianxiang said that she was still young and it was impossible for her to remain a widow for the rest of her life for the sake of the young man. Why couldn't she find another man? People should look to the future when they live.

Besides, they have severed ties with her, so what qualifications do they have to scold her or control her?

The old couple was so angry at her words that they almost fainted, and the villagers around them also sensed Wang Lianxiang's attitude from her words.

Some people wanted to scold her, but after this incident, everyone realized that scolding Wang Lianxiang was useless, as she didn't care at all.

After that, everyone could only point fingers at her behind her back, and then try every possible way to avoid her and not associate with her. Once they passed by her door, they would roll their eyes and quicken their pace, for fear of being affected by the "dirty" air in her house.

Wang Lianxiang probably knew that the villagers didn't like her, so she didn't interact with them much. She often went to the town and sometimes stayed there for a while before coming back. She didn't spend much time in the village.

Just a few months ago, she injured her leg for some reason and came back from town limping, and then she started spending more time at home.

Moreover, the time she spent at her home was beyond everyone's expectations. They thought that a man would come to her home to visit her or live with her as before.

As a result, for several months, no one saw any man in her house.

Everyone speculated whether she had changed her personality and wanted to "retire" and live a stable life?

Unfortunately, no one would really ask her.

Moreover, these months were also the busy season for spring plowing. By July, there was still a lot of work to do in the fields, and no one had the energy to keep an eye on her, so she gradually stopped paying attention to the matter.

If it wasn't shady here today, He Qiuhong wouldn't have thought of passing by her house.

There was another family between her house and Wang Lianxiang's, but that family had long been deserted and the whole family had moved to the town.

It was already late afternoon, and everyone was either resting at home or working in the fields like her. Not many people came over, so Wang Lianxiang's house was particularly quiet.

So, when He Qiuhong heard the voice of her man Zeng Jiejie coming from nearby, her first reaction was that she was hallucinating.

There is a house between Wang Lianxiang's house and hers, which is only dozens of meters away. How could she hear Zeng Jie's voice here?

But He Qiuhong was too familiar with Zeng Jie's voice. That voice was really Zeng Jie's voice.

She stood there in confusion, pricked up her ears and listened again, and she heard that the sound came from the house next to her, which was Wang Lianxiang's house.

At that moment, He Qiuhong was completely stunned, her heart was beating violently, and a feeling of panic swept through her body.

She didn't know why Zeng Xijie came to Wang Lianxiang's house. She wanted to tell herself that he might have gone there because he had something to do.

But as a grown man, why would he go to Wang Lianxiang for something?

They hadn't even spoken a word before!

Just as He Qiuhong was frantically trying to come up with excuses for Zeng Jie, another burst of laughter rang out from the room, mixed with some unpleasant noises...

He Qiuhong is an experienced person after all, how could she not recognize what that sound was!

Zeng Jie!

Her husband Zeng Jiejie was currently having sex with Wang Lianxiang in the room!

He Qiuhong's blood boiled, and she was dominated by emotions such as anger and discomfort. Without thinking, she ran to Wang Lianxiang's house and banged on the door!

After knocking twice, the noise in the house suddenly died down, and then Wang Lianxiang's impatient voice came: "Who is it! Are you crazy? Why are you knocking on the door?"

But He Qiuhong gritted her teeth and said nothing, refusing to let Wang Lianxiang know who the person outside was.

The person outside didn't say anything, but kept banging on the door.

In the end, Wang Lianxiang had no choice but to open the door angrily.

When the door opened and she saw He Qiuhong outside, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly pretended nothing happened and asked her why she was knocking on the door.

Seeing that she still wanted to hide the truth, He Qiuhong was so angry that she pushed her away and walked into the house.

Then, in Wang Lianxiang's room, he saw Zeng Jie lying on the bed and looking at his mobile phone.

After witnessing this scene, He Qiuhong felt as if her world had collapsed.

She never thought that her husband would actually cheat on her, and that he was having an affair with another woman in the village right under her nose!

She worked tirelessly in the fields, and considering that his health was not as good as hers, she let him go home to rest.

But he did this behind her back!

He Qiuhong collapsed and rushed forward to fight Zeng Jies.

Crying and scolding him.

"Zeng Jie, you are not a human being! Are you worthy of me? How could you treat me like this? How could you treat me like this?"

Originally, Zeng Jie was flustered and felt guilty when he saw her appear.

But He Qiuhong beat him so hard that he didn't even have a chance to fight back. He became angry because of the pain.
