Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 305: Weird Argument
“.”
Liang Cui'er avoided her gaze, feeling panicked and angry.
She, she was just saying it in a fit of rage. Could words spoken in anger really count? For example, when her mother was angry and said she was going to beat her to death, would she really do that? Would she really argue with her mother about this?
This damn woman did it on purpose, I don't know what her intentions were.
Nanny Qin Qing looked at Liang Cui'er and said, "Aunt, you have to make your words clear."
Liang Cui'er yelled angrily, "Yes, I was just saying it when I was angry, so what? Do you take it seriously? You are too petty, aren't you? You can't even take such a small joke!"
Aunt Zhu'er frowned: "Cui'er, you are not young anymore. As a woman, you must know how important reputation is. How can you say such things casually?"
Aunt Wu also nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Moreover, Xu Zhichun was young, widowed, and lived alone, making her more susceptible to trouble than others. Furthermore, she was so capable and talented that some admired and respected her, but others were jealous, too. The jealous ones secretly watched her with eagerness, eager to find some evidence to crush her to death.
If Nanny Qin Qing didn't take it seriously, and Liang Cui'er's words spread, she would be unable to defend herself and would not be able to explain herself clearly.
Liang Cui'er became even angrier. "Okay, okay, I'm not worthy, I shouldn't have come. I know. You look down on me and despise my poor family! Otherwise, you wouldn't treat me like this. It's okay if I don't get involved with you, right? Humph, don't be so snobbish. What's the point of being proud now? Who knows what will happen in the future? I don't believe that I will never be better than you!"
Liang Cui'er said this and walked away angrily.
Han Songlian was still a bit confused, not understanding how things had turned out like this. He called out anxiously, "Cui'er! Cui'er!" Liang Cui'er didn't even turn around. Han Songlian smiled awkwardly at Aunt Qin Qing and the others, then hurriedly caught up with her.
Zhu'er, her aunt and the other two were in a disheveled state.
“That’s really…”
Nanny Qin Qing thanked her: "Thank you, Madam Zhu'er and Madam Wu. If you hadn't spoken up for me, I wouldn't know what to do."
Nanny Qin Qing moved around the village frequently. She was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke appropriately, appearing to have more vision than the other women. However, she was always very polite in addressing people, either "Miss", "Madam", or "Old Madam", and always addressed them as "Old Slave". She held everyone in high esteem, and anyone who heard her couldn't help but feel happy and had a good impression of her.
Aunt Wu's face lit up immediately, she waved her hands and said with a smile, "Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome. It's nothing, it's what I should do."
Aunt Zhu'er also laughed: "Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with Cui'er. She's too outspoken."
Liang Cui'er returned home with a gloomy face. Uncle Liang couldn't help but frown and asked, "Didn't Xu let you in? Or did she say something?"
Zhang's eyes lit up, and she swore that if Xu Zhichun dared to mock her daughter's marriage, she would not let her go and would not go to her house to peel off her skin and take her surname.
Liang Cui'er's eyes turned red, "It's all because of you!"
"What?"
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."
Liang Cui'er refused to say anything. She walked into her room, tears streaming down her face.
It was because they looked down on Song Lian Ge that she couldn't stand staying there any longer, so she went to Xu Zhichun's house. As a result, she was scolded and taught a lesson by the servants in her family.
Han Songlian felt guilty and did not dare to face his father-in-law and mother-in-law alone. As soon as Liang Cui'er left, he lowered his head and quickly followed.
Uncle Liang and his wife wanted to stop him and ask him something, but he didn't even have time to open his mouth.
"Xu Zhichun must be bullying our Cui'er! How unreasonable! I can scold my own girl myself, but what right does she have? I'll go find her!"
"What does my aunt want to see me for? What a coincidence! I was looking for my aunt too."
Xu Zhichun, along with Nanny Qin Qing and Mu Xiang, just happened to come in from outside.
Nanny Qin Qing had told her everything. Xu Zhichun was very angry, but also extremely calm.
After all, Liang Cui'er was the one who was able to do such a thing as kneeling down and begging her to marry Lian Laosi, so it is not surprising that she can say this now.
Now that she has said it, don't blame her for being serious with her.
Xu Zhichun brought the matter to Liang Lizheng's attention.
Liang Cui'er was furious and said, "I told you it was just a momentary outburst of anger. Isn't the eldest cousin's wife too petty?"
Zhang joined in angrily, "It's Cui'er's third day back home, and you have to make such a fuss and upset others, right? What's wrong with me playing a joke on you? Besides, don't you have any fault at all? Since you swore to never remarry, you should stay at home honestly and stop running around all day. Look at what you have become, and what are you saying about others? Cui'er is one of us, and a few jokes are nothing. Who knows what outsiders will say. Why are you so persistent and harassing our Cui'er? If you have the guts, go find someone else!"
Uncle Liang's heart moved, and he began to speak earnestly: "Since we have talked about this today, let's talk a little more. I think what your aunt said makes sense. It is indeed not suitable for you to always go back and forth like this. It is not appropriate. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Mingxuan. People's words are scary. You still have to be on guard when you should be on guard, don't you think? Why don't you let us manage your business? Don't we have the account books? Just check them. Do you think we can lose you?"
Zhang was delighted: "Yes, yes, that's right! Are we going to ignore our own uncles and brothers and instead let others fool us? How can others be as reliable as our own family?"
Xu Zhichun: “.”
Aunt Qin Qing: “.”
Liang Lizheng and others: "."
Don’t say it, don’t say it, every one of them said something that really made sense.
Xu Zhichun's original intention was to use this incident as a reason to stay away from Liang Cui'er's husband's family from now on, and secondly, to let others see it so that they would not talk nonsense or make malicious speculations behind his back.
I didn't expect that these words about their family would be brought up.
"What's wrong with me walking around outside? Every time I go out, I'm accompanied by Xiaoyan, Aunt Zhu'er, or Aunt Qinqing and Muxiang. I can go anywhere. What basis do you have for malicious speculation about me? Does that mean I can say whatever I want about you? Don't always bring up the widow. Don't you live under the eyes of others day and night? Otherwise, can I also say that you are having an affair and secretly found an adulterer or a whore?"
"Shut up!"
"Listen to what's coming out of your mouth? It's making me so mad!"
Uncle Zhang of Liang was furious.
Xu Zhichun sneered: "You can make up stories about me, but I can't say anything about you."
Liang Lizheng: "Uncle, Zhang, you're going too far. If you say that, does that mean everyone in the village is not innocent? Especially late at night, who knows if anyone has gone out to do anything? Who can prove that they slept in the house all night? Even if they are a couple, they don't know if the people around them have gone out when they are asleep, right? So in your eyes, there is no innocent person in our village, right?"
