"Yingying, what nonsense are you spouting here?"

Upon hearing the news, Huang Meijuan rushed over. When she heard that Huang Yingying had come to find Li Shuxian to take responsibility, her face turned pale with fright.

Huang Yingying's actions are only tarnishing the reputation of Huangjiazhuang.

"Cousin, you're here. They're bullying me." Huang Yingying was determined and not at all timid. She even wanted to ask Huang Meijuan for help.

"Yingying, go home right now, don't embarrass yourself here! I was there when it happened that day. You two only talked for ten minutes inside. Shuxian came out looking very upset. Your relationship didn't work out in the first place, so why are you trying to hold him responsible!"

Huang Meijuan was afraid that her family would resent her for having such an embarrassing sister.

She's going to live in Shili Village for the rest of her life. How will she ever be able to hold her head up again after what Huang Yingying did?

Huang Meijuan hurriedly explained the situation, and Li's mother immediately straightened her back: "Look everyone, Meijuan is from the same clan, how could she side with us? This is the truth. That day, she said that when we went to find a match, we had to have her, which angered our Shuxian and made him leave. That's what happened!"

"No way! Cousin, how can you take the side of outsiders? Did they give you something in return? Or do you think that now that you're a wife of Shili Village, you don't care about your family anymore?"

Huang Yingying, with her frail and delicate appearance, questioned him with such earnestness that she seemed on the verge of fainting from emotional distress.

Huang Meijuan stared at Huang Yingying in disbelief: "Why did you come here to cause trouble? Did your aunt force you to come?"

"I'm just telling the truth, why are you taking the side of outsiders?!"

The sorrow in Huang Yingying's eyes was genuine and heartfelt; she had reached this point because she had no other choice.

Her mother only doted on her two younger brothers. Forget about treating her illness, the only thing she could do now was find a barefoot doctor and buy cheap folk remedies to keep her alive, hoping that she could get married and earn a dowry.

Huang Yingying could feel that her body was at its limit, and she had no way out. She had to fight her own way out.

She had made up her mind. As long as Li Shuxian could cure her illness, she would never let him down in this life. She would be a good son-in-law and mother-in-law, take care of Li Shuxian, bear him children, and do anything for him.

Huang Yingying had her own troubles, but Huang Meijuan didn't know them. It was like meeting her cousin, whom she had grown up with, for the first time. She stared blankly with her mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Bai Jiaojiao was at home cutting up red double happiness symbols with Deng Min when she heard the news. She lost control of her scissors and "snip!" cut one of the double happiness symbols in half.

Bai Shiqing ran out, with Bai Jiaojiao following closely behind.

"You two, slow down!"

Deng Min couldn't sit still either, so she put down what she was holding and called Bai Shihai to leave together.

When the Bai family arrived, the farce truly reached its climax.

Li Shuxian had been pushed into the yard by his mother, but when he saw Bai Shiqing rushing over outside, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He could accept others accusing him, but Li Shuxian didn't want Bai Shiqing to misunderstand him.

"Shiqing, let me explain, this is absolutely not true!"

Ignoring his mother's objections, Li Shuxian approached Bai Shiqing. The evening sky was a deep red, making the beads of sweat on Li Shuxian's head appear even larger, revealing his discomfort.

"Bai Shiqing, you have to believe me."

Bai Shiqing watched Li Shuxian pacing anxiously, keeping her lips pursed and remaining silent.

Bai Jiaojiao was even more nervous than Li Shuxian, afraid that Bai Shiqing would misunderstand Li Shuxian, and even more afraid that Li Shuxian would actually do it.

But she preferred to believe that this was an absurd thing Huang Yingying did in order to cling to Li Shuxian.

“Of course I believe you,” Bai Shiqing said, and Li Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief. “But you have to deal with her properly, otherwise we won’t be able to live peacefully in the future.”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely handle it."

Li Shuxian would never refuse, and he would absolutely not let Huang Yingying frame him.

"Brother Shuxian, you can't do this to me, you're so heartless!" Huang Yingying looked at Bai Shiqing. "Sister, we're both women, please have pity on me. You're so beautiful, you'll never have trouble finding a husband, but if Brother Shuxian doesn't want me, I'm finished..."

Huang Yingying's sobbing made Bai Shiqing's heart pound. Bai Jiaojiao scolded, "This is none of your business with my sister. Don't drag her into this."

Li Shuxian noticed the look Bai Jiaojiao was giving him, reached out and pushed the Bai sisters back a little, standing at the front of the crowd: "I know you're sick now, and you want to find someone to treat you, but don't try to cling to me."

"Yes! She has a medical condition, and her family can't afford treatment, so she wants to find a good husband!"

Li's mother remembered that Li Shuxian had told her about this, but at the time she knew that Huang Yingying had no hope of becoming her daughter-in-law, so she had long forgotten about it. Today, she was so frightened by Huang Yingying that she couldn't think straight and didn't remember the reason at all.

As soon as this story was told, the onlookers sighed in dismay.

Li Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Huang Yingying calmly wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes: "So it was because Brother Shuxian disliked me for being sick that he didn't want me. If that's the case... if that's the case, then I might as well die!"

After saying that, she actually stabbed at the stone wall of the Li family. Everyone present was shocked. Fortunately, they were all farmers who were used to doing farm work. They were quick-witted, strong, and stopped Huang Yingying.

"Li Shuxian, you are truly heartless! The person was trying to commit suicide!"

"If you don't want her now, aren't you just forcing her to die?"

"A man who can't even shoulder this much responsibility is a disgrace to Shili Village!"

The crowd surrounded Huang Yingying, who looked like she was about to faint from crying, and began to criticize Li Shuxian.

Without absolute evidence, it really is true that whoever cries is right. Huang Yingying cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide, so who wouldn't help her?

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't stand it anymore: "What evidence do you have? Or are you just here to make empty promises?"

"How could there possibly be evidence for something like this?"

Huang Yingying was certain that no one would force her to produce evidence, and that Li Shuxian would not be able to produce evidence to prove himself. She believed that there was a high chance of success, which is why she was willing to take such a desperate gamble.

Li Shuxian, his neck flushed, shamelessly retorted, "The two of us made such a commotion inside the house, and your mother was right there in the yard. Why didn't she know? Why didn't she come over?"

Huang Yingying seemed hesitant to speak: "You didn't make a sound, and you didn't let me make a sound either."

"Whoa..."

Laughter erupted from the crowd, with one person using the crowd as cover to say, "The more embarrassing something is, the more they like to show it off and embarrass themselves. Probably just like that guy Yu Wenli last time!"

Li Shuxian's eyes turned red with anger: "Who? Come out and say it if you dare!"

There were too many people, and Li Shuxian could only make out that it was a middle-aged man, but he couldn't find where the man was.

"Don't you know your own abilities?" An auntie shielded Huang Yingying and whispered close to her, "Don't be afraid. We people in Shili Village are the most fair. We won't protect Li Shuxian. If he doesn't admit it, we'll take him to the police station. He won't dare to shirk responsibility for you!"
