The people around burst into laughter.
Zhong Jingui wanted to go up and tear Zhang Chunxue's mouth apart.
Zhang Chunxue, however, cast her a contemptuous glance. "Just for this, Zhong Jingui jumped out to pick a fight with me, insisting that I was seducing by dressing up so flamboyantly... Isn't this insane?"
She pointed at Song Xingzhi standing aside and said, "Secretary Song is over 30 and still unmarried. Who knows how happy she must be! After all, even if she didn't get it for free, no other woman got it for free either!"
"So when she heard that I treated Secretary Song to dinner, Zhong Jingui became dissatisfied and felt that Secretary Song was giving me a break... This is truly Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it."
The villagers immediately burst into laughter, and some began to clap.
"Sister-in-law Haruyuki scolded me to my heart's content today!"
"Who among the older people in the village doesn't know about Zhong Jingui's little tricks? It's just that they are all related to each other, so no one speaks out."
"You still have the nerve to cry over there. We've been married for over ten years, and I've never stopped thinking about you!"
Wang Anguo was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He also discovered that Zhang Chunxue was trying to prove that his wife was mentally cheating on him.
Zhang Chunxue was scolded by Zhong Jingui and she wanted to vent, and Wang Anguo understood.
But if this happens, wouldn’t everyone know that Wang Anguo has a green hat looming on his head?
Zhang Chunxue saw Zhong Jingui's face, which was sometimes pale and sometimes blue, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Let's take a step back and say that even if Secretary Song really gave me a good deal, it has nothing to do with you, Zhong Jingui!"
The crowd burst into laughter. Men and women, young and old, all laughed in a tacit understanding.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts. It's really worth listening to today."
"Zhang Chunxue's mouth is really powerful! Don't mess with her easily in the future!"
"Sister-in-law Haruyuki is quite nice. If you don't provoke her, she won't scold you..."
Just as everyone was laughing, Song Xingzhi couldn't help but lower his head and coughed twice with a smile on his face.
It was both helpless and a bit doting.
Seeing him cough, Zhang Chunxue thought he also felt she was a bit harsh, so she tilted her head and asked, "Secretary Song, did I say something too harsh?"
Before Song Xingzhi could reply, an aunt in the crowd rushed in to chime in, "Not too heavy, not too heavy! Sister Chunxue, you're absolutely right. We old ladies feel relieved just hearing that!"
"Someone should have applied eye drops to Zhong Jingui a long time ago. And those gossipy women in the village, I won't hesitate to criticize them! They all just know how to make up stories about others!"
Wang Anguo stood in the crowd, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. One hand was still in his trouser pocket, and the other was clenched into a fist, his knuckles cracking, as if he was about to strike out at any moment. But he didn't dare move. He was surrounded by people, and if he really dared to make a scene, he would probably be kicked out by the team leader on the spot.
After a burst of laughter from the crowd, he felt his face burning, as if someone had pulled him by his pants and walked him around the square.
As for the green hat, it wasn't really worn, but the idea was that it was clearly fluttering on his head, even bringing out the wind.
At this moment, Song Xingzhi, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up straight. His voice was not loud, but it was like a stone dropped into a pond. "Zhong Jingui, let me make this clear today. Seventeen years ago, you told me you wanted to date me, and I very solemnly rejected you at that time. Since then, there has been no connection between you and me."
"Don't spread rumors about me in the village under any pretext, especially if they involve people close to me. You have no rights over me, and you have no right to interfere in my private life."
"Your thoughts are worthless and dishonorable."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a pot of boiling water being poured down, and even the air became scorching hot.
Zhong Jingui was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, covering her face with her hands and squatting on the ground: "I, I don't want to do anything, I just feel...I feel that Zhang Chunxue is not worthy of you at all!"
Song Xingzhi looked down at her and asked coldly, "Whether she's worthy or not, what's it to you? Who she marries has nothing to do with you? Do I need your approval to marry someone?"
"Are you her biological mother, or am I your son?"
"Zhong Jingui, no matter how thick-skinned you are, don't rub it against others. This matter has become so serious. If it gets out, it's not her who will be embarrassed, it's you."
After he finished speaking, he looked at his watch and turned to look at Zhong Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, you heard it too. From beginning to end, Sister Chunxue did nothing wrong. She didn't do anything. She just treated me to a meal. She shouldn't be attacked so recklessly."
Zhong Aiguo let out an "ah" and opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, when suddenly something popped into his mind.
This guy just called me "Uncle Aiguo", and now he turns around and calls me "Brother Aiguo"?
How did one get promoted to a higher level in just a few words?
Just as he was about to ask a question, a noisy sound came from the other end of the village.
"Where is it? Where is it? I have to find out clearly today!"
Following this ear-piercing roar, an old lady wearing a blue-gray cotton waistcoat and with a fleshy face rushed into the crowd aggressively, followed by two women.
It was Zhang Chunxue’s ex-mother-in-law Liu Cui’e, with her two daughters-in-law—Gao Xiuli and Huang Xiaolan.
The two of them followed Liu Cui'e on the left and right, like two little goblins beside the old goblin.
As soon as Liu Cui'e came in, the wrinkles on her face trembled three times, and she cursed Zhang Chunxue, who was standing in the middle of the crowd: "You bitch! How dare you stand here? I heard you were getting married? Oh! Are you really going to remarry?"
"If you really marry me, you have to give me back all the Zhong Guosheng's pension!"
When the crowd heard this, they exploded.
"Aunt Liu, you're so shameless! You even have the nerve to say this?"
"Her son has been dead for six years, and she's still asking for money?"
When Zhang Chunxue saw Liu Cui'e coming to disrupt the situation, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and sneered, "You're still alive?"
"You're really lucky. I thought you were already in the coffin, but it turns out you're still alive and kicking around outside."
"You're saying I have to pay back the pension just because I get married? Let me ask you this: when we split up 20 years ago, did you throw a tantrum with Zhong Guosheng in front of the whole village and kick us out? Did you feel justified in saying, 'None of you four should come back?'"
"The year you kicked us out, Zhong Chengyi was still a baby, and we didn't even get a bowl of rice from home! How dare you say I should give you a pension? Is that shamelessness made of iron or tinfoil?"
"Last time your eldest grandson had a fever, I sent you a packet of berberine. You thought I was trying to poison you, but now you think I can still give you money?"
"Are you crazy?"
