Zhang Ridong bent down to help his mother, saying, "Mother, don't be sad."
Granny Zhang slapped him on the shoulder, as if giving some kind of hint.
“Ridong, don’t help me up. Sun Zhiqing refuses to marry you. You’ve lost your chastity. What will you do in the future? Which girl will dare to marry you? Sigh, the thought of you not being able to find a wife makes me so sad. I’d rather die.”
"Mother, please don't do anything rash. It's because your son is incompetent that your wife doesn't want me anymore."
"Japan East".
"mother."
The mother and son cried harder and harder, each more heartbroken than the last.
At this moment, the women who came to watch the commotion were partly siding with their own villagers, and partly because they only saw the surface and thought that Sun Tiantian had tricked Zhang Ridong and bullied the people in their village, just like she had bullied them. How could they tolerate this? So they all began to criticize the "heartless woman" Sun Tiantian.
"Oh, look at this, this educated youth is actually quite cultured. He won't admit what he did, and he's even trying to force that mother and daughter to die."
"Isn't that right? If you don't like someone, don't agree to their request or ask for their things. Don't think that we country folk are naive and easy to fool."
Luo Jingyan watched Zhang Pozi put on a show, exactly the same act that Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang had used to frame her.
The reason it's considered a frame-up is because Zhang Ridong is genuinely ugly, and Sun Tiantian could never have fallen for someone like that.
In addition, she had gotten to know Sun Tiantian's character after spending the past six months with her.
Sun Tiantian is simple-minded, good-tempered, and conservative in her conduct. She is a down-to-earth and good comrade who would never do such a despicable thing.
The other party probably saw that she was gentle and easy to manipulate, which is why they deliberately targeted her for framing.
However, Sun Tiantian did not show weakness at this moment. Instead, she said to Granny Zhang and Zhang Ridong, "You think that just because you two have a bunch of liars and you've framed me for things I didn't do, I'll give in to you for the sake of my reputation? Let me tell you, I, Sun Tiantian, will never admit to anything I didn't do. Granny Zhang, don't you even look at your Ridong? Do you think I would be interested in him? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call the police and have you arrested."
Granny Zhang said with a look of disdain, "It's no use reporting to the police. You've defiled my Ritong. Even if you want to marry him, the police can't lie for you."
"Really?" Sun Tiantian had reached her limit: "So, you think this is how the police handle cases? I believe the police will investigate and find out what I didn't do. Anyway, I won't marry Zhang Ridong just because of your words."
Seeing that Sun Tiantian wasn't cooperating, Granny Zhang gave a wink to a woman next to her. The woman immediately stepped forward and said, "Sun Zhiqing, I happened to be passing by when you and Ridong were doing that in the dilapidated house. I saw it with my own eyes. You can't deny it now."
"That's right, that's right. People have seen it with their own eyes, how could it be fake? Sun Zhiqing, stop being so stubborn and just admit it. Don't wait until you're pregnant and then let Ridong marry you, that would be so embarrassing."
The villagers were in cahoots, which put Sun Tiantian in a difficult position.
"Anyway, I have no relation to Zhang Ridong. You are just spreading rumors and slandering me. I will not become a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family."
Granny Zhang threatened her: "Sun Zhiqing, I'm trying to reason with you nicely, but you don't appreciate it. This is considered improper conduct. I'm going to report you to the brigade leader and send you to a labor camp. You'd better think this through. Once I report you, you can forget about having a future."
Sun Tiantian knew what the punishment meant; from now on, she would be even less capable than Zhao Wensong and Meng Bin. However, she was outnumbered and powerless, and could not stand up against these villagers.
But there's one thing she would never do: become Zhang Ridong's wife.
Finally, when the two sides reached a stalemate, Granny Zhang made a harsh statement: "Sun Zhiqing, I'll give you one night to think it over. Ridong and I will come again tomorrow. If you still have this attitude, I will go to the brigade leader and tell him that if you don't marry Ridong, you will have to go to a labor camp. You should carefully consider which is more important."
After Granny Zhang left with Zhang Ridong, the onlookers also left.
As soon as they left, Sun Tiantian burst into tears again, feeling wronged, and squatted down on the ground. She had never felt so helpless before, having been bullied by so many people all at once.
Seeing her pitiful state, Jiang Manyue patted her back comfortingly: "Sweetie, don't be sad. We all believe you wouldn't do such a thing. Let's think of a solution together."
"At the full moon celebration, they colluded and all came to accuse me. I don't admit it, and they even have witnesses. What should I do?"
Jiang Manyue sighed. She had only heard others say that life in the countryside was hard, but she didn't know that she would also suffer mental torment.
Compared to the villagers, they were all outsiders, weak and vulnerable, and in most cases, they could only be bullied. At this moment, she didn't know how to comfort Sun Tiantian.
Just then, Sun Tiantian saw Luo Jingyan return. Luo Jingyan had previously outwitted Aunt Hu and Du Yinan, and when she saw Luo Jingyan, she felt like she had seen a savior. She immediately went to find Luo Jingyan, hoping that Luo Jingyan could give her some advice.
"Jingyan, that mother and son are spreading rumors about me, trying to force me to marry Zhang Ridong. They even found someone to give false testimony, and everyone in the village is on their side. Give me some advice, what should I do?"
The reason she brought up the police was because she had learned from Luo Jingyan's previous dealings with the Hu family, but she didn't expect the Zhang and Hu families to be even more despicable and shameless.
Luo Jingyan actually has a way to solve this problem.
Last time, when Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang came over to spread rumors and force her into marriage, not only did she bring in the police, but Du Yinan also appeared as a free stepping stone.
However, even without Du Yinan, she had a way to subdue the Hu family mother and son.
She took Sun Tiantian's hand: "Come to my room, let's talk."
"Um."
Sun Tiantian followed Luo Jingyan into the house. Luo Jingyan invited her to sit down and poured her a cup of hot water.
“Sweetie, I heard the gist of what you were arguing about. They accused you of having a secret with Zhang Ridong and are sure you’ll be manipulated into marrying him. I have a solution, but I don’t know if you’re willing to take it.”
"What's the solution? Jingyan, tell me."
