Chapter 226 Examples

What frustrated Chen Xiaohua the most was that she had no way to express her grievances. If Granny Wang were to cause trouble, it would be better for her family to go to her door and confront her directly. However, the fact that Granny Wang kept apologizing and admitting her mistakes left the Chen family with no reason to complain.

The youngest son was a bit simple-minded, and Chen Xiaohua considered herself unlucky; how could she possibly argue with a simpleton?

"Is Granny Wang's youngest son really stupid?"

Lin Yuesha frowned, also full of anger. Granny Wang had a good plan this time. If her family really cared about their reputation, they would have no choice but to marry her second cousin into the Wang family.

In the end, it all comes down to money.

When you have no money, your relatives and friends won't come to visit. But when you finally have a little savings, people start eyeing your money.

Petty people are causing trouble in the shadows, and it's impossible to guard against them.

"I don't know either, but I'm probably not really stupid."

Wang Pozi's youngest son is a bit dim-witted, but he is dressed neatly, unlike those big idiots who drool and have snot running down their noses.

"Whether she's genuinely stupid or pretending, it must have been Wang Pozi who instigated it. That old hag is probably gloating over it!"

Lin Yuesha glanced at Chen Xiaohua and said, "Sister Xiaohua, if you're upset about this, you've fallen into her trap. It's not worth it."

Reputation and rumors can be harmful, but if a person's heart is strong enough, they don't need to pay any attention to them.

If they can't stay in the village, there's always the town. Those clansmen are rooted in Chenjia Village, so why would they go to the town to gossip?

Anyone who talks behind someone's back or speaks ill of them should be taught a lesson!

"But little sister, I can't swallow this insult."

As Chen Xiaohua spoke, she wiped away her tears again. She could bear to suffer a little grievance herself, but her parents were also worried about her, and her older brother felt extremely guilty for not accompanying her to collect firewood.

The whole family was in a slump, and she couldn't stay in Chenjia Village any longer, so she begged her father to take her to the town to hide.

Chen Xiaohua thought she didn't care about other people's opinions, but after going out twice, she saw people pointing and whispering about her from afar, and she started to avoid them.

"Sister Xiaohua, just stay in town and relax. In my opinion, this matter is not over yet."

Lin Yuesha drank three cups of water in a row before she could calm down her anger.

Old Granny Wang is cunning and calculating; she certainly won't let things pass like this. She might even try to cause trouble for the Chen family while the iron is hot.

If her youngest son marries Chen Xiaohua, there will be no trouble!

The Chen family was different from the villagers; they didn't favor sons over daughters and treated their daughters very well. The eldest aunt, Wang Jinhua, had already prepared her cousin Chen Xiaohua's dowry long ago.

"Isn't it over yet?"

Chen Xiaohua panicked. Could it be that she could only hide for a short time, and if she didn't commit suicide, she would have to cut her hair and become a nun?

"Don't panic, it's all just my guess."

The Chen family members are not cunning, nor do they harbor the worst intentions towards others; they even have a tendency to avoid conflict.

However, since it has happened, we can only face it.

"But little sister, I'm really sad. I can't even face it. I feel so dirty."

When the villagers arrived, Chen Xiaohua was pinned down by Wang Pozi's youngest son, Wang Tiezhu, who was gnawing on her neck.

She went back and washed herself countless times, but she always felt unclean, and even thought about slitting her throat with a knife.

Chen Xiaohua was suffering inside, but had nowhere to confide in. Her family was already feeling guilty, and her mother had fallen ill again, so she had no choice but to keep it all to herself.

Lin Yuesha asked a couple more questions and realized that Chen Xiaohua's problem was a bit serious.

"well!"

There were some things Lin Yuesha wanted to hide, but if she used herself as a tragic example, Chen Xiaohua might have a point of comparison and be able to think more positively.

They were cousins ​​after all, and Chen Xiaohua was sincere to both the original owner and her.

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Thinking this, Lin Yuesha grabbed Chen Xiaohua's hand and said seriously, "Sister Xiaohua, I also have a secret I want to tell you. Please listen to me first."

"secret?"

Chen Xiaohua was puzzled. She said that she was not a gossipy person and that if it was a secret, she would not tell anyone, including her parents.

"My parents don't know yet."

Lin Yuesha, with a bitter face, recounted her experience at the Lantern Festival, but she omitted her interactions with the pockmarked man, only saying that she had been kidnapped by barbarians.

"What!"

Chen Xiaohua jumped to her feet, her face flushed, and stammered, "But Brother Xiao said you were on the mountain..."

My stepbrother went back to deliver the message, and he spoke to our parents alone.

Lin Yuesha had a headache and, unable to come up with a reason, she skipped over it. "That's not the point. It's because my older brother was worried about my parents. You know my mother's personality. If she knew that I had been kidnapped by barbarians, it would be like the sky had fallen."

Chen Xiaohua nodded. Her aunt was soft-hearted and cared a lot about her daughter.

"Then how did you escape? You troublesome girl, why didn't you run faster!"

Lin Yuesha successfully changed the subject, and Chen Xiaohua quickly forgot about her own affairs and started worrying about Lin Yuesha, "You're usually quite clever, but you always mess things up at crucial moments. If anything were to happen to you, would your aunt be able to live?"

"So, Sister Xiaohua, you understand this principle."

Lin Yuesha forced a dry laugh, reminding Chen Xiaohua to restrain herself and not to faint after hearing about her ordeal.

"Your safe return is all that matters."

Chen Xiaohua was silent for a moment, her eyes full of seriousness, "Nothing is more important than survival."

She had misunderstood before and couldn't swallow her anger, but what did it matter if her reputation was ruined? She had no intention of getting married in this lifetime anyway.

The man was unfaithful; there are very few people of good character. His family had only just accumulated some savings, far from being wealthy, and yet he was targeted by someone.

"Yes, although nothing is more important than survival, I almost didn't make it."

There are some things that Lin Yuesha doesn't want to talk about, because it's like reopening old wounds, but she's more open-minded than Chen Xiaohua.

“I was kidnapped by barbarians and sent to Yuwen Kun, the city lord of Sishui City.”

In short, Chen Xiaohua fell off the chair, and the reputation of the Sishui City Lord for his tyranny spread far and wide, so few people didn't know about it.

So how did the little sister survive?

The barbarians never considered women of the Great Qi as human beings; in their eyes, they were all lowly people.

"Yes, I not only survived, but I almost became the wife of the city lord of Sishui City."

Although there's nothing to be proud of in this position, Lin Yuesha marveled at her own survival skills, saying she was like an unkillable cockroach.

"The City Lord's wife?"

Chen Xiaohua sat down on the ground a second time. She simply didn't get up. She had finally managed to sit up, but was frightened again. It was better to just sit on the ground and wait for Lin Yuesha to finish speaking.

My little sister, though a bit unreliable, isn't one to brag; whatever she says is definitely true.
