Chapter 39: The Real Reaping of One's Own Sins

Seeing that everyone had come over, Bai Zhen was still explaining that she was locked up by Gu Qingshi. Duan Gang could no longer bear it and shouted in a low voice.

"Shut up. You're still talking about Qing Shi. If it was really Qing Shi who locked you up, why didn't you make any noise? He's right next to home. I can hear you if you shout twice."

Duan Gang became more and more angry. "I passed by here several times, why didn't you say anything?"

They were the ones fooling around here, but they still tried to trick him into saying that Gu Qingshi locked them up. Why did Gu Qingshi lock them up? They thought he was a fool!

Duan Gang looked at Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie with murderous eyes, but at this moment, he had to hold on and not let the family disgrace become public. He found an excuse hatefully, blocked everyone's gossiping eyes, thanked everyone, and firmly asked everyone to go back.

Looking at his green face, they knew that if they didn't leave, Duan Gang might beat them up. As neighbors, they had to give each other some face, so they shook their heads and left, clicking their tongues as they walked.

"A beautiful stepmother and a grown-up stepson, this relationship."

"It's so embarrassing that it's right next door."

"Grandma is also unlucky. She went out for a day and her home was used as a place for sneaking out."

"Yes, we have to lock the door when we go out next time, otherwise we might come home lying in our own bed one day."

Everyone had an awkward expression. As soon as these words were spoken, a picture came to mind. Several women gathered together and whispered to each other.

"No wonder I treated Duan Renjie so well before, even better than my own daughter. It turns out it was because of this."

"You're the one who raised him and you're the one who adopted him, so you have to love him well."

"How long have you been talking about them?"

"It must have been a long time, otherwise there wouldn't be enough at home, so we would have to go to someone else's house."

"Luckily the stepmother is here, it's so good, tut tut, it's too messy, the father and son are fighting."

"I've long said she wasn't honest, and I saw it as soon as she came."

"Gu Qingshi is also pitiful. She has been neglected by her own mother since she was a child. Now she has been caught and dragged to be the scapegoat. If we were not here, she might be the one to take the blame again."

Many people did not go to bed until midnight that night. Many women held their husbands' ears and told them not to go near Duan Gang's house from now on. If they looked at Bai Zhen, they would die.

In addition to her husband, she also reminded her sons and grandsons about this. Not only the grown-ups, but also the teenagers and even seven or eight-year-old children were not spared, telling them to run away when they saw Bai Zhen, and not to do anything to her.

The neighbors were amazed and excited, but the Duan family was completely shocked.

Duan Gang's eyes completely changed when he looked at Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie, filled with murderous intent. Who could have thought that he had been proud all his life, but in the end he would suffer such a thing.

Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie were both scared and tried to explain, but no matter how they explained, it was useless.

Duan Gang walked home with a grim face, fearing that if he looked at them any longer he would lose control and kill them both.

Duan Lingling was also very angry, "It's so embarrassing." Why are the people in her family so disappointing!

How will Qin Zeming of the Qin family view her after such a thing happened at home? He already had a bad impression of her because of the previous impersonation incident. Will he still marry her in the future?

Duan Lingling wished they could die to atone for their sins, "If I were to die by hitting my head, how could I still be alive?"

The words that Bai Zhen used to scold Gu Qing were returned to Bai Zhen by Duan Lingling.

Bai Zhen was about to vomit, and hurriedly went up to explain, "Lingling, you misunderstood, nothing happened between Renjie and me!"

But Duan Lingling wouldn't listen at all, she shook off her hand and left.

Only Bai Zhen, Duan Renjie and Gu Qingshi were left in the grandmother's house. Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie looked at Gu Qingshi with hatred in their eyes, "Gu Qingshi, you're dead!"

"Think about whether you are my opponent or not. Also, if I yell now and call everyone back, what do you think they will say?" Gu Qingshi was not afraid of them.

Duan Renjie's face turned blue, and Bai Zhen was shaking with anger. "Qingshi, are you satisfied with what has happened now? Don't you think that if my reputation is ruined, what good will it do you? Are you going to drive Mom to death?"

"If you dare to force me to death, I will dare to force you to death. If you don't plot against me, how can you be plotted against?"

She looked at the two of them coldly, "This is the price you pay for scheming against me. From now on, I will repay you for whatever you scheme against me."

Duan Renjie's eyes were full of sinisterness. "Gu Qingshi, don't be complacent. I can tell you right now that I will get you sooner or later."

Gu Qingshi threatened back, "I might as well give you a tip-off. If you dare to do that again, I will give you medicine and put you and Duan Lingling together."

After mother and son, there are brothers and sisters? Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie's faces changed, "How dare you!"

"Why shouldn't I dare? I said I dare. Can you change the word next time?" She was tired of hearing the words "you dare".

Gu Qingshi gave an ultimatum and went home leisurely. Bai Zhen looked at the unfamiliar Gu Qingshi and murmured, "She's crazy! She's crazy!"

When he returned to Duan's house, he heard the sound of things being smashed before he even entered the door. His own son and his beautiful wife made Duan Gang very angry. His face turned pale. Even his most precious TV station was affected.

Gu Qingshi admired Duan Gang's expression and went straight back to his room.

That night, the Duan family was in turmoil all night long. Bai Zhen's crying was intermittent and lasted until midnight.

Gu Qingshi fell asleep amid her crying, and later when he was half awake he vaguely heard something about pesticides.

Perhaps because they were afraid of being laughed at again, they did not dare to make too much noise.

The next day, Gu Qingshi got up before dawn and met Bai Yang who had hurried back.

Bai Yang was tricked by Bai Zhen into going home. He was relieved to see that everything was fine at home, but as he slept, he felt more and more that something was wrong, so he ran back again, fearing that something had happened to Gu Qingshi.

He was relieved to see that she was okay, but after hearing what happened last night, Bai Yang felt sick and almost angry to death.

Ignoring Gu Qingshi's obstruction, he rushed to Duan's house, and happened to meet Duan Renjie, who was covered in dust and had slap marks on his face, quietly leaving the house.

Bai Yang went up and started beating him up without saying a word.

Duan Renjie was beaten by Duan Gang last night and was beaten again today. He almost vomited blood.

But he couldn't beat Bai Yang, and in the end he was beaten up and fell to the ground and almost couldn't get up.

Gu Qingshi and Bai Yang continued to set up their stall, but the Duan family and their neighbors were busy. Early in the morning, everyone was paying attention to what was happening at the Duan family.

After a whole night of explanation and defense, Bai Zhen even almost drank pesticide to prove her innocence, which finally extinguished Duan Gang's anger a little.

Duan Renjie told all his previous plans, which made sense. Although he still had doubts, if he didn't want to divorce completely and give up his son, he had to explain it clearly to the neighbors.

Duan Gang said it was just a misunderstanding and asked everyone not to think too much about it, but how could they not think too much about it? Duan Gang himself couldn't help but think too much about it.
