What does it mean to lift a stone only to drop it on your own foot?

Shen Cuiping never expected that Xu Nuo would see her when she went out last night.

The reason she recounted the story of framing Xu Nuo so smoothly was because she had personally experienced it last night.

Terrified, Shen Cuiping suddenly remembered the stone from last night.

At the time, she and Gao Aimin thought someone was passing by, so they were so scared that they ran away without taking their things. After running for a while, they found that no one was chasing them, so they mustered up their courage and went back to get their things.

Gao Aimin said, "It must be the Mountain Eagles. Who would come at this time of year?"

Shen Cuiping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that only heaven, earth, and Gao Aimin knew about this matter. She went home and slept soundly, becoming increasingly dismissive of it.

Looking back now...

Shen Cuiping was so frightened that her teeth chattered. She turned her head and saw Xu Nuo staring at her with eyes as sharp as knives. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She was so scared that she was furious: "You, you are talking nonsense. I will tear your mouth apart."

As he spoke, he lunged at Xu Nuo.

Xu Yan screamed in fright and tried to rush over to block her, but she fell to the ground again as soon as she stood up. She couldn't bear to watch; Nuonuo, such a delicate person, being pounced on by this village woman, Chen Cuiping, was probably...

Who knew...

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Cuiping was kicked away like a small ball by Xu Nuo, flying a meter or two away.

Shen Cuiping cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face, "Ouch, my back! It's killing me! Xu Nuo is killing me!"

No matter how disliked Shen Cuiping was, she was still Chang Xiaohong's mother and Pan Yinhua's daughter-in-law. Pan Yinhua was furious and angry at the moment, and she also disliked Xu Nuo. She rushed to Shen Cuiping's side and helped her up, and scolded Xu Nuo: "Comrade Xu Nuo, we kindly invited you to teach in Lu County. Although the money was not much, we at least treated you with courtesy. How could you hurt someone like that?"

Xu Nuo never expected that the skill she had acquired just last night would come in handy now. She was overjoyed and just wanted Li Xian to bring Gao Aimin over so she could tear the adulterous couple apart.

Xu Yan said, "It was clearly Comrade Shen Cuiping who made the first move."

It doesn't matter who did it; what matters is Xu Nuo's innate superhuman strength, which made the originally aggressive villagers take several steps back, fearing that they would be unlucky enough to suffer the same fate as Shen Cuiping.

It's not a big deal if Shen Cuiping is injured, since she doesn't work anyway. But it's not good if they get injured. What will they eat if they don't work? They're not like Shen Cuiping, who has the brigade leader's family supporting her even if she doesn't work.

The reason everyone trusted Shen Cuiping so much was simply because she was the wife of the brigade leader. Seeing her lying on the ground wailing in pain, they hurriedly said, "Comrade Shen Cuiping, don't forget the important matter!"

Shen Cuiping was so angry at Xu Nuo after being kicked that she wanted to tear her apart. Anyway, Gao Aimin wasn't from Luxian Village, so Xu Nuo would never know who he was. She would just deny it and see if everyone would side with her or Xu Nuo.

Shen Cuiping said angrily, "She's spouting nonsense. I didn't go out at all last night, and I certainly wasn't wearing any green dress."

Xu Nuo's eyes flickered slightly as they landed on her, and she smiled, "Oh?"

The bystanders grew anxious: "Didn't you say you went out and followed her all the way?"

Shen Cuiping realized what was happening and stammered, "I... I remember now, I went out, it was her, it was her wearing a dress, she looked so beautiful, it's just..."

She was going to say it was the one Xu Nuo was wearing, but when she saw that Xu Nuo was wearing pants, she changed her mind: "I forgot the color, I only remember that she was wearing makeup, and it was really heavy."

Xu Nuo asked, "Didn't I use a flashlight?"

Shen Cuiping gritted her teeth: "Yes."

"It was a dark and windy night, so dark you couldn't see your own hand in front of your face. Shen Cuiping, do you have superhuman eyes? You could see I was wearing makeup even without a flashlight?"

Shen Cuiping wanted to sew Xu Nuo's eloquent mouth shut, but she couldn't beat him in a fight. The kick she had just received still made her feel lingering fear, so she stubbornly said, "I, I just saw it."

The more she said, the more mistakes she made. Shen Cuiping was unaware that her explanation had too many loopholes. Some people had already realized what was going on and were frowning with some doubt. Among them was Pan Yinhua, who had been standing by her side the whole time.

Xu Nuo calmly chatted with Shen Cuiping, but she was anxious. She wondered if Li Xian had brought Gao Aimin. If he hadn't, how long could she keep dragging this out?

His gaze casually swept across the crowd, when suddenly he spotted a familiar, tall figure.

His cold, menacing expression clearly indicated that he was suppressing immense anger.

He nodded to Xu Nuo.

Very good.

Xu Nuo turned to look at everyone and said, "I really saw Comrade Shen Cuiping go out last night. The reason I saw her clearly was because she was using a flashlight."

She looked at Chang Youxin: "If you don't believe me, the brigade leader can go back and check now to see if the flashlight is in Shen Cuiping's room."

In this era, a flashlight was considered a large item, and usually only one per household. Since Shen Cuiping did not work and had no need to go out at night, she did not have a flashlight.

Pan Yinhua kept all the flashlights.

Shen Cuiping screamed in fright, "Don't believe her, she's lying! I didn't use a flashlight, I didn't!"

Seeing Pan Yinhua hesitate, Xu Nuo turned to Li Hong and said something. Li Hong nodded and ran away quickly. Shen Cuiping mistakenly thought that Li Hong was going to her house to look at the flashlight, so she quickly turned to Pan Yinhua and said, "Mom, I remember now, it was Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong took the flashlight from home to play with yesterday, and then, and then she put it in the room."

Xu Yan sneered: "You just said you didn't bring a flashlight, but now you do. Comrade Shen Cuiping, do you think we're all fools?"

No one spoke. Shen Cuiping, growing anxious, pointed at Xu Nuo and said, "Weren't we here to arrest her? Arrest her! I really saw it! She went into the haystack with someone, and..."

Xu Nuo walked over and looked down at Shen Cuiping: "Shen Cuiping, I saw it too. Last night you were wearing a green dress and going out late at night..."

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Shen Cuiping stood up in a panic, her hand about to shove Xu Nuo.

Li Xian stood at the back, his eyes narrowed as he rushed forward, but Xu Nuo was faster, grabbing Shen Cuiping's collar and tugging hard.

With a "sizzle" sound.

Li Xian stopped and turned his head away.

"On...Chen Cuiping's body..."

What is that?

"That...that's not it?"

Amidst the uproar, Pan Yinhua felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

This time, Shen Cuiping reacted quickly, pulling her clothes up to cover the red marks. She cried and tried to bang her head against a pillar: "I don't want to live anymore! I'd rather be bullied to death! This bad woman wronged me. She's shameless and continues to humiliate me like this. I don't want to live anymore!"

"Cuiping, what's that on you?"

Pan Yinhua grabbed her and asked sternly.

"Yes, it was from insect bites."

There are many insects in the countryside, and bites often leave red spots, which can indeed be attributed to insect bites.

Just then, Li Hong returned, followed by Chang Xiaohong, who walked with a slight limp.
