Transmigrated to the Famine Year: The Step-mother is Fiercely Terrible

A transmigration story with farming, a satisfying experience, a system, disaster, famine, and wealth-building!

Liu Yingying woke up one day to find herself a 28-year-old peasant woman in Taoy...

Chapter 254 There's no smoke without fire

"Don't you know whether what he said is true or false?" Liu Yingying's eyes revealed disdain.

Zhu Ziqian's expression faltered slightly, and he was about to angrily rebuke her.

"Yingniang, what have I done to wrong you? Why did you betray me like this?"

Liu Yingying rolled her eyes, too lazy to waste any more words on him.

But Ma Jinhua wouldn't have it, and charged at her like a cow, but Liu Yingying dodged her.

"You slut, how dare you cheat on my son! I'll fight you to the death!"

Ma Jinhua lost her balance and, if someone hadn't helped her up, she would have plunged headfirst into the pond.

Liu Yingying stood there tall and straight, her expression full of disdain. "I just realized that you care about your eldest son so much?"

"I always thought you two were cold-hearted, selfish, and sophisticated egoists!"

"Otherwise, why did you not only ignore the three children he left behind when you learned of your eldest son's death, but also encourage your other two sons to seize his land?"

Back then, Zhu Youcai and Ma Jinhua allowed the widow and orphans of the first wife to be bullied by the second and third wives without saying a word.

The whole village saw it all, and some of the more outspoken villagers even said a few words in protest.

But the two old people pretended to be dead, and no one could do anything about it.

Now that Liu Yingying has exposed their hypocrisy, the elderly couple looked somewhat embarrassed.

Zhu Ziqian was unaware of this matter.

He instinctively felt that Liu Yingying wasn't lying, and couldn't help but look at his parents, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Is she...is she telling the truth?"

Ma Jinhua didn't dare look him in the eye, stammering, "Don't believe her, she's trying to sow discord between us!"

These words reminded Zhu Ziqian that his priority today was to resolve the issue of the Liu family.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later...

He looked at Liu Yingying with a sorrowful expression; "Yingniang, do you know that even ten fingers are not all the same length? Our parents have already done us five brothers and sisters an immense favor by raising us. How could I possibly blame them?"

Ah, he really is the eldest son of the Zhu family who is very filial!

"But you have to explain to me clearly today what exactly your relationship with Su Daqiang is."

Liu Yingying didn't want to argue with him about this topic.

She only has one mouth, and she has to worry about so many business matters every day. If she also has to argue with this family, wouldn't she be exhausted?

His calm gaze swept over everyone.

"I, Liu Yingying, have lived in Taoyuan Village for three or four years. Regarding those days we spent together, I only want to ask you all one question."

"If I really had an affair with Su Daqiang, have you ever seen me meet with him in private?"

No, not at all.

“But some people have indeed seen Su Daqiang and a woman frequently going into the cornfields outside the village…” someone said.

Liu Yingying scoffed, "Then who can provide evidence to prove that I was the one who went into the cornfield with Su Daqiang?"

"If you can't produce any evidence, can't I just randomly point to someone and say that's Su Daqiang's lover?"

The women present looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

What kind of person is Su Daqiang?

Everyone knows what's going on.

No one who values ​​integrity wants to be associated with him...

In reality, most people understand what's really going on.

How could Liu Yingying possibly be interested in Su Daqiang?

However, they dared not stand up to defend Liu Yingying, since Zhu Ziqian was now an official in the capital. Offending either Liu Yingying or Zhu Ziqian would not please them, so it was better to remain silent.

Liu Yingying understood the situation clearly; she didn't expect these villagers to speak up for her.

But she knew all along that Zhu Ziqian had no good intentions when he came back, so she wasn't unprepared.

Zhu Ziqian began to feel smug. Today he was going to confirm Liu Yingying's guilt of having an affair!

Once she's dealt with, I can return to the capital and continue my life of luxury and extravagance!

"Yingniang! Even now, are you still going to be stubborn and refuse to admit it?"

Liu Yingying turned around, her icy gaze sweeping over him; "What? If I confess, will you still be so magnanimous as to spare me, or rather, grant me and Su Daqiang our wish?"

Zhu Ziqian was speechless when questioned. He had gone to great lengths to arrange this, so he was naturally not going to let her off easily!

Ma Qiumei, who was standing to the side, secretly gave Su Daqiang a wink.

Su Daqiang, understanding the unspoken message, pounced on Liu Yingying and loudly urged, "Yingying, just admit it! I've already confessed to Brother Ziqian, and he's willing to let us be together!"

Looking at the shameless man in front of her, Liu Yingying felt nauseous and kicked him to the ground.

"Who are you with?"

The kick landed squarely on Su Daqiang's chest, causing him to fall to the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhu Ziqian was horrified…

He couldn't help but take two steps back.

In any case, today we must confirm the affair between Liu Yingying and Su Daqiang!

But now that Liu Yingying is denying it, the villagers remain neutral, and with her formidable fighting skills protecting them, no one dares to mess with her rashly.

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

But the stalemate was not what the Zhu family wanted. Just then, another group of people came rushing over.

Leading the group were Liu Yingying's parents, siblings, and members of the Liu clan.

"My Liu family has failed in raising our daughter properly, and today we have brought our entire family to apologize to your Zhu family!"

The original owner's birth mother, Chen Xiufu, immediately grabbed Ma Jinhua's hand and wanted to kneel down and apologize to her.
