Chapter 51 Xu Haiyu's Fate
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Please, sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it."
Seeing that the others were unmoved, Xu Haiyu had no choice but to change her request to Xin Li.
Even with her good temper, Xin Li was starting to lose her composure.
She looked at Xu Haiyu and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think I'm made of clay?"
"You've disliked me for a while now and have attacked me several times. I let it slide because you're just a young girl, but you still did something like this. How dare you talk to me like this?"
Xinli's words were not harsh.
At least there wasn't a single unpleasant word.
Of all those present, only Xin Li was the most qualified and the most suitable person to insult Xu Haiyu.
After all, if something like this happened, even if Xin Li rushed up to beat Xu Haiyu and the others, no one would stop her.
At most, they'd go up and make a token effort to break up the fight when things seemed to have gotten too bad.
On the island, when people catch their husbands having affairs, they strip them naked and throw them out the door for public execution.
Xin Li did nothing but make a reprimand, and everyone was worried for her.
Xu Haiyu had previously said that Xin Li had a spoiled, arrogant temper and was always finding fault and being sarcastic.
It all seems like utter nonsense now.
Ren Xinli has a very good temper, but Xu Haiyu is a really wicked person!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xu Haiyu with even more hostility.
Originally, everyone lived on the same island and would see each other all the time. Xu Haiyu was just a young girl, and even though everyone respected her because her brother was a martyr, they would still give her some face.
But unfortunately, her character is just too terrible.
She appears so delicate on the outside, but her heart is already dark and shining.
This won't do.
They absolutely will not allow such people who undermine unity and harbor malice to exist on the island.
"Has Sister-in-law Lu arrived yet?"
The person standing at the door called out loudly, "I already went to call them."
"She's getting up, let's pull her out first."
Xu Haiyu never expected these people to be so ruthless. She could no longer maintain her composure and cursed them with a ferocious expression: "What business is it of yours! You gossipy women, you were the ones who ran out and spread rumors about Xin Li after hearing just a few words from me. Now you want to pin all these things on me? No way!"
No one was surprised to see that Xu Haiyu had revealed her true colors.
How could someone whose heart is completely black possibly be gentle and weak?
But that's just a facade.
At this moment, Xu Haiyu standing in front of them became an absolute stranger.
The little girl they watched grow up has vanished without a trace.
Instead, she became a vicious, venomous woman who would make anyone frown upon seeing her.
"So what?"
"We do like to gossip, but we can admit our mistakes and correct them."
"We have already sincerely apologized to Xinxin, what about you?"
“Since we caught you, have you apologized to your sister-in-law? You were lusting after her man, don’t you feel even a little bit guilty?”
Xu Haiyu flew into a rage, pointing at Xin Li and shouting, "Why should I feel guilty?"
"She was the one who stole my Mingzhou brother from me. I was the one who would stay with Mingzhou brother longer. I was the one who was most suitable for him. It was Xinli who stole him from me. What right does she have to make me feel guilty!"
Xu Haiyu stared intently at Xin Li, his gaze full of provocation.
Xinli knew that she was trying to provoke her.
Xu Haiyu knew that she would not have a good outcome today, so she wanted to force her to take action so that she could take the opportunity to play the victim and stage another self-inflicted injury.
Xu Haiyu probably thought his plan was foolproof, but in fact it was full of loopholes.
If Xin Li, the lord of this post-apocalyptic world, had fallen for this kind of trick, she would have been devoured by zombies long ago, leaving not even a trace.
Moreover, Xinli felt that Xu Haiyu had been missing the point all along.
"You seem to be hating the wrong person."
"Yes, it's true that I wasn't the one who was initially engaged to He Mingzhou, but both families agreed to the exchange marriage, so I came."
"It was because He Mingzhou was willing to marry me that I married him and stayed on the island."
"All of this is because I was willing, and he was willing too."
"What's the point of you just harassing me? Do you think I can get married by myself?"
Xu Haiyu's eyes darted away.
He didn't dare to look Xinli in the eye.
She clearly knew this, but deep down she was unwilling to believe that the person she had loved for so many years didn't like her.
"Besides, He Mingzhou is a person, not an object. I never said I wouldn't allow you two to be together. If you can make him like you, I'll definitely let go gracefully. What exactly is your so-called resentment?"
"Your current predicament is entirely of your own making, and has nothing to do with me."
"He's just a man, is he worth you being so crazy about? Who can't live without whom?"
Xin Li never even glanced at a man during the apocalypse.
After all, in a post-apocalyptic world fraught with danger, once you start to rely on someone, there's always the possibility of being betrayed.
She never exposes her weaknesses to others.
Therefore, she never forms close relationships with anyone.
Just as she is very satisfied with He Mingzhou now, He Mingzhou does not take the initiative, and she is not the kind of person who likes to force herself on someone.
Just let things take their natural course; you still have to live your own life.
Xu Haiyu is completely different from her.
It seems that He Mingzhou has become the only person in her life.
It's as if she can't go on living without He Mingzhou.
That's a really strange idea.
Xinli was completely baffled.
"Well said!"
A round of applause came from outside the door. Xin Li turned her head and saw Zhang Jinhua standing at the bottom of the stairs with a lot of people. They seemed to have been there for quite a while, and they had probably heard what she had just said.
Zhang Jinhua looked at her with undisguised admiration.
Xin Li smiled at Zhang Jinhua subconsciously, but before she could speak, her attention was drawn to another undeniable gaze.
He Mingzhou stood not far behind Zhang Jinhua, looking at her with deep eyes.
Xinli found his gaze somewhat puzzling.
"Xiaoyu, you have really disappointed me. Women can hold up half the sky. You could have been a good person, but you have chosen to indulge in feelings that should never have existed, and even did something like this."
"You can no longer stay on the island. I will arrange for you to go somewhere else."
Zhang Jinhua succinctly announced the punishment for Xu Haiyu.
Xin Li knew that Zhang Jinhua was actually still showing mercy to Xu Haiyu, since breaking up a military marriage could land one in jail.
However, Xin Li didn't point this out. For Xu Haiyu, being sent away was already the most unacceptable consequence, and what happened to her afterward had nothing to do with Xin Li.
Such a big commotion has probably spread all over the island.
Xu Haiyu, sobbing uncontrollably, was sent away overnight. As dawn approached, everyone finally went home.
Xinli was so sleepy that she wanted to crawl into bed as soon as she entered the bedroom.
But a hand stopped her, and the next moment she was pressed against the door.
He Mingzhou's strong body trapped her between him and the door panel.
Xin Li looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing?"
