Shen Heng, the village bully of Shili Village, has a fierce and intimidating persona.
To everyone's surprise, his newly wedded little wife is not afraid of him at all. In fact, she keeps ...
"Waaah, Auntie, you're a good person..."
Huang Yingying cried even louder. Her words immediately attracted more people to comfort her. Who doesn't want to be praised as a good person?
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Crying won't help. This is simple. Since you've done everything with Brother Shuxian, you must have seen him. If you can pinpoint any birthmarks or other noticeable features on him, that will be your evidence!"
Li's mother thought for a long time. Li Shuxian was clean all over, with only a few small moles. Where would he get a birthmark to identify him?
However, when Li's mother saw Bai Jiaojiao raising her chin, she changed her mind.
This is a trap set for Huang Yingying!
Li Shuxian, a man like him, often went shirtless when he got hot from working in the village. Everyone in the village could see that, apart from being a bit dark-skinned, he had no other distinguishable birthmarks on his body.
To prevent her outspoken aunt from revealing the truth, Bai Jiaojiao gestured to the crowd, "Since everyone wants to get involved in this matter, it's best to let the truth come to light. No one is allowed to remind anyone!"
Everyone came hoping to see the truth, so they all kept quiet and waited for Huang Yingying to speak.
Huang Yingying glanced at Li Shuxian almost imperceptibly, then quickly looked away: "I was too nervous that day, I didn't dare to look!"
Huang Yingying swallowed hard. Even if she had made the story flawless, there were some facts that she couldn't fabricate.
It's fake, but her explanation is somewhat plausible.
Let alone the two of them having sex secretly before marriage, even brides who are married in a formal ceremony are completely clueless the first night.
"You shameless little girl, how could you say such a thing?" The aunt who was protecting Huang Yingying immediately spoke up for Huang Yingying, glaring at Bai Jiaojiao: "This is not the way you should help your sister."
"I'm not some little girl," Bai Jiaojiao said, placing her hand on Shen Heng's arm. Upon seeing Shen Heng, the man dared not speak.
Yes, although Bai Jiaojiao was more beautiful than any unmarried girl, she had already married Shen Heng, a man no one in the entire commune dared to offend.
Seeing that the person shut up, Bai Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "She's not ashamed to say these things in front of other people's doors, so why should I be ashamed?"
Huang Yingying's answer was already about to give her away, and Bai Jiaojiao took advantage of her hesitation to give her a disdainful look: "When Brother Shuxian went on a blind date with you, I remember it was not long after he had a fight with Zhu Shengping. Zhu Shengping cut such a big gash on his stomach, how could you not have seen it?"
Bai Jiaojiao's words were utter nonsense, but before the quick-witted person could point them out, Huang Yingying said, "I remember now, yes, he had a wound on his body, and it hadn't fully healed at the time!"
When Huang Yingying went on a blind date, Huang Meijuan told her that Li Shuxian had acted bravely and fought with a mentally ill person in the village by the reservoir.
Huang Yingying calculated the time. When Li Shuxian went to her house, his injury should not have healed yet. Eager to prove herself, she blurted out what she had imagined in her mind.
The scene suddenly fell silent, a silence that made Huang Yingying uneasy.
Bai Jiaojiao took a step back, grabbed Bai Shiqing's hand, and made her retreat.
Huang Yingying noticed that everyone was looking at her with extremely strange eyes, filled with disdain, surprise, and disbelief. These complex emotions made Huang Yingying realize that she had said the wrong thing.
"No, I remembered wrong, that wound..." Could it not be that serious?
Huang Yingying was clearly making up lies, and the aunt who had initially spoken up for her was so angry that she pushed her forward.
"ah!"
Huang Yingying collapsed to the ground, slumped down, and looked up as Li Shuxian deftly took off his jacket and vest, angrily throwing them to the ground beside him: "Take a good look for yourself!"
Li Shuxian's stomach was clean, with only some muscle dents from years of farm work. As for any scars, that was utter nonsense.
Li's mother sneered, "My son has never suffered any knife wounds. You don't know which wild man took advantage of him and is now framing our Shuxian. Let me tell you, that's unacceptable!"
Li's mother finally vented her anger. She bent down triumphantly, picked up Li Shuxian's clothes, shook off the dirt, and said sarcastically to the onlookers, "Our old Li has always been so ungrateful for helping others. Everyone is kicking him when he's down. They'd rather trust an outsider than the child you've watched grow up!"
These words made those who had helped Huang Yingying blush with embarrassment, but they were unable to refute them.
Especially the aunt who initially helped Huang Yingying criticize Bai Jiaojiao: "If you had this method, you should have said so earlier. How would we outsiders know if you didn't tell us?"
"You know nothing, yet you come to my doorstep to meddle?"
Li's mother glanced at the aunt, then looked at Huang Yingying, who was still slumped on the ground and hadn't sat up, and said:
“You want to marry into a good family to get your medical treatment, you want to live, that’s not your fault, but you shouldn’t have done it this way. If my son had taken a liking to you, our Li family would have spent all our wealth to support you, but he didn’t. By making a scene at our doorstep, you’ve essentially cut off your future. You don’t have to blame anyone, after all, it’s your own doing.”
Li's mother's words were like knives stabbing into Huang Yingying's heart. Huang Yingying suddenly burst into tears, her cries deafening everyone.
Yes, this plan failed, all her secrets were exposed, and she will never be able to find a decent husband again, let alone get medical treatment.
"Why should I...?"
Why did she get tuberculosis? Why didn't her parents love her? Why did Li Shuxian look down on her?
"Yingying, let's talk about this when we get home."
Huang Meijuan was, after all, Huang Yingying's cousin, and they had grown up together since childhood. Although she now felt disgusted with Huang Yingying, she still had to endure the strange looks from others and help her up and take her home.
Once one of the parties involved left, the excitement gradually died down.
"Little sister, thank you so much for this!" Li Shuxian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Bai Jiaojiao as if she were his savior.
Bai Jiaojiao smiled and heard Bai Shiqing say, "She's such a clever little devil; only she could come up with such a method."
"Don't worry about whether the method is good or not, as long as it can be explained clearly."
Bai Shihai greatly admired Bai Jiaojiao.
To be honest, he had just prepared to kill another "brother-in-law".
"Come in and sit for a while? Auntie will make you some sweet soup." This time, Li's mother found Bai Jiaojiao pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at her. It was a pity that she got married too early. They had plenty of sons, so why did the Bai family only have two daughters?
Bai Jiaojiao's hand remained on Shen Heng's arm, and Li's mother's gaze followed her to Shen Heng. Seeing Shen Heng's disapproving look, Li's mother shook her head.
Sigh, what a waste of such a beautiful young wife!
