"belt?"

“Oh my, this belt really does look like it’s from Sanlin. I saw Guifen make one before when we were working together, and she told me it was for her third son.”

"That's right, look, there's a three embroidered on the belt! It must be it."

"My goodness, did Sanlin really seduce someone? I didn't realize that."

"Exactly, Sanlin seems like a pretty honest kid, so why is he like this?"

Everyone started talking, and the way they looked at Shen Sanlin changed instantly.

The Shen family panicked. Even Shen Liuliu hadn't expected them to have such a trick up their sleeve!

But when I sent the sparrows to keep an eye on things, they didn't mention anything about this!

What exactly happened?

“This belt is…” Tian Guifen’s face turned ashen as she tried to find a reason to explain.

Although she didn't know why she was in Li Xiaoxi's hands, she knew very well that she had to make it clear, otherwise things would get worse.

Can……

At that moment, Tian Guifen really couldn't find a suitable reason to say it.

"This belt is mine!"

Suddenly, Hu Si shouted loudly from the doorway.

Shen Liuliu was practically sticking her whole body out of the window.

Hu Si?

Shen Erming gave Shen Sanlin a reassuring look, and the latter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bullshit! This belt is from Sanlin, it even has..." Li Xiaoxi denied, her face pale.

I was very anxious.

Why is this scumbag here?

What are my two older brothers good for? They can't even keep an eye on one person.

Hu Si pushed his way through the crowd, brazenly pulled Li Xiaoxi into his arms, and, under everyone's gaze, gave her a hard kiss—

*Smack!*

The sound was incredibly loud.

Li Xiaoxi screamed like a madwoman and pushed him away.

The village chief immediately spoke up: "Hu Si, you better behave yourself! If you have something to say, just say it! Don't resort to violence, what kind of behavior is that?"

"Getting handsy? Oh my, my village chief, you didn't see how seductive this little vixen was when she let me touch her by the river..."

"Shut up! What kind of behavior is this!"

The village chief was so angry that his blood boiled and he scolded the man with a flushed face.

However, his gaze fell on Li Xiaoxi with an extremely frivolous expression.

Li Xiaoxi's face was deathly pale, and she was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She kept saying, "Nonsense, you're talking nonsense..."

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, the fact is I slept with you, and everyone knows and saw it, that's enough."

Hu Si said nonchalantly.

This little girl actually dared to lie to him?

She claimed she came to the Shen family to extort money, and then obediently married him!

If Shen Erming hadn't explained the situation clearly, he would have actually believed it!

This girl has already been slept with by him, and she still wants to marry someone else? Dream on!

He finally had a chance to get married, how could he possibly let this opportunity slip by?

Li Xiaoxi noticed the other person's sinister expression and burst into tears.

"Hu Si, this belt belongs to Shen Sanlin! Don't talk nonsense." Li Guihua rushed over, hugged her daughter, and glared at Hu Si.

To everyone's surprise, Hu Si didn't buy it at all and said directly, "Not only does this belt belong to Shen Sanlin, but this outfit of mine also belongs to Shen Sanlin. I stole it from the Shen family... They were hanging out laundry that day, and I stole it..."

This was the first time Hu Si had ever committed petty theft in the village, and since he had only stolen two socks, a bundle of firewood, and half a steamed bun, no one dared to make a fuss about it.

But as time went on, everyone harbored resentment and complained to the village chief. However, every time they found Hu Si, the guy's attitude of admitting his mistakes was quite good, but he just wouldn't change.

Everyone was very resentful about this.

That's why everyone believed Hu Si when he said he stole the clothes and belt.

"No, no, it was Shen Sanlin who seduced me!" Li Xiaoxi stubbornly refused to admit it and insisted on blaming Shen Sanlin!

Wu Tiao jumped out angrily and cursed, "How can you be so shameless? Spouting nonsense will have consequences!"

"Five jumps".

Tian Guifen called her youngest son back, not wanting him to get involved in such dirty business.

Shen Wanli cleared his throat and said seriously, "Everyone has seen and heard what exactly happened from beginning to end."

She started by saying that my Sanlin had asked her out, then changed her story several times, and finally denied it altogether. Then she said the belt was given to her by my Sanlin, but now Hu Si has proven that she was lying.

Everyone knows this person is a liar. My Sanlin has never seduced her.

To say something that you might not like to hear, let's put aside what kind of person my third son is, my family isn't that bad off right now. It's not like my third son can't find a good girl to get married!

Why do we have to find her? Putting aside the grudges between my family and theirs, just based on the fact that Li Xiaoxi had that kind of thing with Tian Yelai before, my Sanlin would never seduce him!

"Village chief, everyone's tired of this situation, let's all disperse."

The Shen family's attitude was made very clear.

Faced with the Li family's unreasonable demands, they did not resort to violence, but instead presented the evidence and reasoned with them.

The village chief could only step in to uphold justice: "This matter ends here! As for Li Xiaoxi... you and Hu Si should handle your own affairs. If you dare to cause trouble at the Shen family again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Then he left with his hands behind his back and a dark expression.

Shen Sanlin followed along. The cabinet wasn't finished yet, and if it wasn't done properly, the village chief would probably be even more upset.

"Hurry up and leave, or we'll beat you up!" Da Sheng's family grabbed a broom and started chasing Li Guihua and her daughter away.

Li Guihua and her daughter left, cursing and swearing.

Enraged, Da Sheng spat in the direction they had gone and cursed, "Filthy!"

To be a woman like this is truly disgusting!

Why can't people live?

If you lose your face, your backbone, and your dignity, then what's the point of living?

Everyone dispersed.

However, a few people who were on good terms with the Shen family remained.

Everyone was urging Tian Guifen, "Hurry up and find a suitable girl for Sanlin to marry, don't delay any longer."

"Exactly! It's a shame that Sanlin made things clear to the village chief about this disgusting thing. Otherwise, would you have been able to peel off this leech? Even if you had, Sanlin's reputation would be ruined!"

Don't assume that only women care about their reputation; a man's reputation is important too.

When a good family marries off their daughter, don't they ask for nothing more than a good husband?

Sanlin's reputation is ruined, how can he marry a good girl?

Tian Guifen was so angry that she burst into tears: "Tell me, what kind of mess is this? What did we do to deserve this? Why are there so many problems every time?"

"It's strange, really. Why has your family been having all sorts of trouble lately? Even though it's always other people coming to cause trouble, it's still quite odd... Why don't you go back to the Buddhist temple in Qingshan and offer some incense money?"

The Dasheng family came up with an idea.

Tian Guifen shared the same idea: "Let's talk about it after we've finished brewing the wine."

"Wow, your family even brews wine now! Is it profitable? If so, please help us out..."

"This is just the beginning, I don't know if it will make money yet. Don't worry, if it really makes money and I need everyone's help, I'll definitely come to you guys for the start-up fee!"

"Haha, you must remember that."

"Okay, okay."

After everyone had left, another half an hour passed. Tian Guifen told Dasheng and his mother to hurry home for dinner, and then she went to find her daughter.

She needs to know what exactly happened with that belt.
