Zhong Jingui cried anxiously and waved her hands repeatedly: "I didn't! I didn't!"
Zhang Chunxue glanced at her coldly: "No? Why are you being so mean to me? Clerk Song came to my house for a meal, what's wrong with that? Is it a crime for me to cook him a meal? What a heartless person, everything he sees is dirty!"
"It's you who couldn't get her before and couldn't let her go. Now you get mad when she talks to me for a few more words. You can go back home if you want to, but don't act like a jerk in front of me!"
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Zhong Jingui finally couldn't bring herself to lose face, so she covered her face and ran away sobbing.
Zhang Chunxue then snorted and went back with her things.
To sell braised pork, a large stove was needed to keep the pork warm, so as soon as Zhang Chunxue got home, she went to Uncle Liu's house in the village.
Uncle Liu is an expert at plastering stoves. Any stove he plasters will have a strong fire and will not crack. It can be said that it can be passed down for generations without any problem.
As soon as Zhang Chunxue reached the west side of the village, he saw Zhong Jingui's husband and several of his brothers walking towards Zhong Jingui's parents' home in a menacing manner.
Zhang Chunxue saw that this was most likely because Wang Anguo heard about what happened in the town today, so he came to cause trouble for Zhong Jingui.
She couldn't miss this excitement, so she didn't even bother to look for Uncle Liu and immediately followed them.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Anguo arrived at Zhong Jingui's parents' home, he immediately yelled, "Zhong Jingui! Get out here!"
Zhong Jingui was hating Zhang Chunxue at home. When she heard Wang Anguo's voice, she suddenly panicked and moved out carefully.
"An, An Guo? Why are you here?"
"Why am I here?" Wang Anguo sneered, picked up a broom and started beating him all over the face. "Why am I here? Tell me why I'm here. What shameful thing have you done? Don't you know it?"
Zhong Jingui was caught off guard and hit, so she quickly dodged to the side: "I didn't do it! They are wrongly accusing me!"
Zhang Chunxue stood outside the crowd and spoke slowly, "If you haven't done anything wrong, who could possibly accuse you? You stood in front of the supply and marketing cooperative and scolded me, and then you accused me of seducing men. How come you're the one being wronged now?"
Wang Anguo was even more furious when he heard this: "You're still scolding Zhang Chunxue? It's her business if she's a widow and wants to remarry. You're a married woman and you're still gossiping about her. Where's your dignity?"
He grew angrier as he spoke: "I only found out today that you were still thinking about sending a clerk! You said you were coming back to see your mother, but you ended up coming back to meet your adulterer, right?"
When Zhang Chunxue heard Wang Anguo say this, she felt something was wrong. It looked like the flame was going to burn Song Xingzhi!
She quickly stood up and said, "Wang Anguo, stop calling me an adulterer or not!"
"Ask the people in our village if Clerk Song has ever paid any attention to Zhong Jingui?"
"Your wife is restless, don't put the blame on others! Clerk Song is innocent!"
Several young wives and aunts who had a good relationship with Zhong Jingui also hurried to explain.
"Clerk Song is well-known in our village for being chaste. He's still single!"
"That's right! A person like Secretary Song is not someone Zhong Jingui can reach!"
An aunt who had been enjoying the cool breeze with Zhong Jingui last night also hurried to explain: "An Guo, there's really nothing between Jingui and Secretary Song! Yesterday, Secretary Song came out of Sister Chunxue's house and happened to run into us. Secretary Song didn't even look at Jingui..."
Zhong Jingui was being beaten on one side, and on the other side, these people were saying hurtful words to her. The tears on her face and the blood in her heart were flowing down together.
Wang Anguo's face was as black as water. Although he didn't say anything about the adulterer, he grabbed Zhong Jingui's hair and slapped her several times.
"Bitch! You just can't keep still!"
Zhong Jingui's face was swollen, and she couldn't help crying out, "Zhang Chunxue, you're talking nonsense! You're the one who ruined my reputation!"
"I didn't! I really didn't!"
Zhang Chunxue stood nearby, arms folded. "You ruined your reputation yourself. What does it have to do with me? Those words that came out of your mouth were all your own. Who forced you to speak with a knife?"
"You were at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative today, but you kept saying that I shouldn't seduce Song Xingzhi... I almost thought Song Xingzhi was your man!"
"Clerk Song didn't even look at you, and you're so possessive!"
Seeing Wang Anguo's face getting darker and darker, Zhang Chunxue continued to fan the flames: "You are married but still harbor evil thoughts towards Secretary Song. Secretary Song is the one who died unjustly, okay?"
When Wang Anguo heard this, he was furious and pinned Zhong Jingui to the ground and started beating her.
Other villagers wanted to stop them, but were stopped by Wang Anguo's brothers and sisters-in-law.
For a moment, the yard was filled with crying.
Song Xingzhi and several brigade leaders also rushed over.
He just happened to hear what Zhang Chunxue said, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the scene in the yard, the captain yelled in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop it!"
Only when he saw the people from the brigade headquarters coming did Wang Anguo let go.
Zhong Jingui sat on the ground with disheveled hair, crying loudly.
She saw Song Xingzhi standing not far away, and thinking about her current state, she felt extremely ashamed and couldn't help crying even harder.
Village chief Zhong Aiguo couldn't help but lecture Wang Anguo: "If a couple has a conflict, they should resolve it peacefully. How can you resort to violence? Look at what you've done to your wife!"
Wang Anguo was still a little timid in front of them, and his voice was much softer: "This is not, this is not Zhong Jingui, this woman, she, she is restless..."
"You're restless? Why are you restless?" Zhong Aiguo cursed. "You came to our village to beat up your wife. Don't you respect me, the village chief?"
The captain roared again: "Just do it! Wang Anguo, who do you think you are?"
"No, I didn't..." Wang Anguo was also a little panicked. He glanced at the others, his gaze lingering on Song Xingzhi's face for a few seconds before speaking with some humiliation, "It was my wife who cheated on me! She came back to her parents' home just to watch the adultery..."
"Ahem!" Zhang Chunxue coughed twice, then put on a forced smile. "Wang Anguo, be careful with your words and actions. Do you know the consequences of casually accusing others?"
Wang Anguo felt even more aggrieved.
He stamped his feet fiercely: "I don't even want this wife of mine! Secretary Song hasn't even taken a fancy to her, and she's still obsessed with him! Who wouldn't be angry?"
