The village party secretary quickly stopped himself from taking another step, his legs feeling weak for some reason.
He politely took the paper and read it aloud word by word: "My previous behavior of going to the river to bathe was entirely voluntary. There was absolutely no evidence that Ji Chen acted indecently. I now prove that my accusation of Ji Chen acting indecently back then was a complete fabrication. I was forced to marry an old man and had no other choice but to resort to this tactic."
At the end, Jiang Xue added in large print: "It's already a new era, yet the Women's Federation director turns a blind eye to parents selling their daughters. I think their stance is problematic."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar, with the Women's Federation director and the village party secretary barely daring to breathe.
The sensitive words stung their faces, making them blush.
The Women's Federation director quickly took the letter, bowing and scraping, and said with a fawning smile, "Jiang Xue's handwriting is really beautiful!"
Seeing that she was deliberately interrupting, Jiang Xue deliberately emphasized again, "Women's liberation has been going on for so many years, and you've been hogging the toilet without doing anything. I'm going to report you!"
The Women's Federation director immediately switched to a fawning tone, "Oh dear, we're all family, why make things so awkward?"
The village party secretary stepped forward with a friendly smile to smooth things over, saying, "That's right, we're all one family. These are just trivial family matters. What hurdle can't we overcome?"
Seeing that things were going badly, he quickly transformed into the image of a good cadre among the people and helped to persuade them to calm down.
The village secretary turned to Jiang Chunsheng and Xie Chunmei and scolded them, "Nonsense! What kind of mother-in-law keeps threatening to report her son-in-law as a hooligan?"
"That's right! They clearly accepted 300 yuan as a bride price back then, and now they're going to report them. Is there no justice in this world?" The Women's Federation director and the village secretary chimed in.
Ji Chen, who was standing to the side, was a little dumbfounded. How did Jiang Xue suddenly become so intelligent?
The village secretary patted Jiang Chunsheng on the shoulder and said, "Hey, what can I say to you? Your daughter brings you money and food every month, and everyone sees it. You're never satisfied."
"They've given birth to such a wonderful daughter, and they're still not satisfied. They've all fallen apart," said the director of the Women's Federation.
Jiang Xue crossed her arms, trying to brush it off with a dismissive "family matter."
Sorry, she's not so easily fooled.
“I demand that the whole village hold a meeting to criticize Jiang Chunsheng’s family by name for their preference for sons over daughters and their outdated feudal ideas.”
Jiang Xue paused for a moment, then continued, "The whole village held a meeting to testify for me that I was forced into this situation back then. Let's see who dares to laugh at me now."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The two village officials echoed, "Yes, yes, good, good. The meeting is tonight, we'll go back and prepare."
Before leaving, the director of the Women's Federation made sure to say something polite, "Jiang Xue, the next bulletin board for the brigade will be in your hands. And you're guaranteed a spot in the next selection of outstanding individuals."
Jiang Xue gave her a cold, forced smile, returning her an awkward yet polite one.
Jiang Chunsheng gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "You good-for-nothing, someone even your own family doesn't want, how can you expect to have a good life in the future?"
Xie Chunmei followed behind Jiang Chunsheng, her sharp and sarcastic gaze making Jiang Xue feel uneasy.
"The days when Ji Chen will bully you are yet to come. Don't expect your brother-in-law to back you up then."
Jiang Xue is really funny. Is this the legendary PUA master?
She couldn't be bothered with the vampire family; she was getting tired of their low-level verbal sparring.
Jiang Chunsheng and Xie Chunmei cursed for a long time, but they both felt like they were punching cotton. After cursing for most of the day, they were so tired that they had no choice but to call Jiang Lai and leave with a belly full of anger.
Seeing that no one was around, Ji Chen moved closer to Jiang Xue.
"When did you become so cultured?"
Her affectionate eyes blinked innocently at Ji Chen, "Guess."
Ji Chen's cheeks immediately flushed, and he didn't dare to breathe. His sharp and resolute face didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head and continue working.
Seeing Ji Chen working, Jiang Xue rolled up her sleeves and helped dig the ground.
"I'll plant this land for you now, but when it's harvest time, I'll take half of it."
Ji Chen straightened up and looked at Jiang Xue, who was working hard but not doing a good job. "Go and rest over there."
Jiang Xue was immediately puzzled and said unhappily, "You're really stingy."
She can indeed earn some money right now. Food is something that absolutely needs to be bought with money. If she doesn't save, when will she be able to accumulate enough start-up capital to get rich?
"We'll split it in half, I didn't say we wouldn't." Ji Chen turned back to his work, his arm muscles bulging with power.
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up. Her food supply for the next year was secured. Regardless of whether her business made a profit or a loss, at least she wouldn't starve.
But before she had even finished digging for half an hour, two large blisters appeared on Jiang Xue's soft, fair hands.
She stood in the field, the sun making her feel hot all over, so she simply unbuttoned two buttons.
But the blisters on my hands were really excruciatingly painful. The original owner was used to being lazy and hadn't worked in the fields for two years after getting married.
The calluses I developed while staying at my parents' house have long since disappeared.
Jiang Xue kept blowing on the two big bubbles. She then threw away her hoe and sat down on the edge of the field in front of the two little ones.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Xue looked at the two fair-skinned little ones with concern.
"I'm not hungry." Shaoheng thoughtfully handed over the water bottle.
"Thank you, then you and your sister have a good time here. When your aunt finishes her work, she'll cook you something delicious tonight."
Ji Chen walked over silently.
Out of the blue, he said, "You should rest. Or you can take the two kids back with you."
Jiang Xue stared wide-eyed, highly suspicious of his motives. Could it be that he would bury himself in his work for a while and then change his mind?
"No need, no need, I'm not tired. This little thing won't tire me out," Jiang Xue said with a forced smile.
Ji Chen didn't know what else to say. He just felt that Jiang Xue seemed to have a very strong personality now, so he decided not to say anything that she couldn't do it.
Jiang Xue unscrewed the lid of the water glass, and the blister on her hand was squeezed, causing her to cry out in pain, "Ouch..."
Ji Chen wiped the sweat from his face with a towel and sat down next to Jiang Xue.
"Let me break it for you, otherwise it will keep hurting."
Jiang Xue looked up and saw Ji Chen standing close by. His eyes were dark and deep, his buzz cut exuding masculinity and strength, and his body was muscular and tall.
Jiang Xue swallowed hard, feeling quite ashamed. If this kid looked like that in her time, he could definitely debut as a celebrity in no time.
She reached out her hand without thinking.
Ji Chen said coldly, "Bear with it."
A sharp pain shot through her, and Jiang Xue frowned slightly as she saw Ji Chen pop the blister on her skin.
"It will be fine in a couple of days."
Jiang Xue leaned closer to check on her hand. Ji Chen suddenly looked up, and their eyes met. The air seemed to freeze.
