Chapter 150: Public Outrage
"Sisters, come on! Beat them hard!"
"Beat these shameless people who commit so many evil things and bring disaster to their neighbors!"
When the alley was completely blocked, a group of women rushed in from the outside and started fighting without saying a word.
There are female students taught by Su Yuanling, girls in Su's night school, and female workers in the plastic factory.
Upon hearing that the Fan and Feng families had blocked the Su sisters' carriage, attempting to trample on their dignity in the street and force them to admit that they were pregnant out of wedlock in an attempt to cause greater insult and harm, these women stepped forward and rushed out of the yard.
If it weren’t for the Su family, how would they have the opportunity to go to school?
"They say the Fan family is a family of officials, so they should be able to distinguish right from wrong better than us rude village women. But even a child can understand the truth, and the women of the Fan family are so malicious and evil-minded. It's really despicable!"
Even if those thugs on the periphery wanted to fight back, they saw that King Xuanming had already mobilized troops and could put them in jail at any time, so how could they dare to resist?
He could only be hit by carrying poles and stools and cry for help.
"Don't be afraid, young ladies of the Su family. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Those who do evil will surely be punished!"
More women lamenting the woman's tragic fate came from all directions to support her.
Ever since the women of the Su family were constantly in trouble, they knew that they were attracting jealousy.
Now my children have enough food to eat and don’t have to leave their hometown and wander around, all thanks to the help of the Su family.
Putting all this aside, how could it be possible that the perpetrators could be triumphant while the victims had no way out?
"Fourth sister." Su Shengsheng hugged the trembling Su Yuanling tightly, "Sixth sister... I thought everyone thought I shouldn't have survived... I thought they were all ashamed of me..."
A woman shouted, "They say that people who read books are wise, but the Fan and Feng families, both of whom passed the imperial examinations, actually raised such a son! Are they going to slander other families' children, saying they are worse than their own son who refuses to change despite repeated teachings? And they still want the ancestral temple to prosper? They have read so much that they are like dogs, and yet they still have the nerve to come out and criticize others on the street!"
When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was furious.
But the other side had more people and more power, and County Magistrate Sang and King Xuanming's men had already taken away many outsiders.
Feng gritted her teeth and shouted, "The child in her belly is my Chang'er's flesh and blood! She must stay."
Feng asked for the baby in Su Yuanling's belly because she was sure that the Su family would not keep Fan Wenchang's bloodline.
Otherwise, he would have to admit that it was not Chang'er's child, and the crime of rape would not be established.
But she never expected that she would arouse public anger.
A village woman who couldn't stand it immediately picked up a broom and hit him: "I hit you for letting your son do evil! I hit you for not repenting! I hit you for having evil intentions! I hit you for not feeling ashamed of hitting you, but proud of it!"
The woman who was surrounding them smiled cheerfully: "Auntie Sun, you used all those words correctly. It's worth all the time you spent studying."
Aunt Sun beat Feng indiscriminately, forcing her to flee in all directions.
She turned around and looked at the two pale-faced young ladies of the Su family: "Don't be afraid, young ladies. Such evil people need to be dealt with by evil people!" She didn't even mock herself by saying that she was also an evil person.
After saying that, she followed the other women who came to help and cleared a path.
"Young ladies, come with us! Let's see who dares to come and ask for a beating!"
When Brother Bao Er heard this, he immediately drove his carriage to follow.
Whenever they encountered a carriage blocking the road, someone would step forward and pull the people off the carriage, and then other people would move the carriage away to make way for the Su family carriage.
"If it weren't for the women of the Su family providing warmth, food and clothing, how could my mother have survived this cold winter? She would have frozen to death long ago."
"If it weren't for working in the Su family and treating illnesses, how could my son have survived until now?"
With every word they spoke, they struck harder with their weapons, their momentum even more formidable than that of the men.
The few strong women in the lead cleared a passage without hesitation, killing any god or Buddha who stood in their way.
"Thank you, fellow villagers..." Su Yuanling burst into tears.
As public outrage boiled over, Magistrate Sang, upon seeing this, pronounced a verdict in the street: "The Fan family has violated public order and good morals and has no right to interfere with the Su family's daughter in the future!"
At the corner, Jun Yao watched all this quietly, a cold light flashing in the depths of her eyes, "They are all incompetent people."
Qi Man realized that Xie Xuan had sent troops to arrest the troublemakers, and fearing that he would be implicated, he hurriedly whispered, "Miss, it would be best if we leave this place as soon as possible."
How could she have imagined that the Su family's daughter, who was so lowly as mud, could still win people's hearts...
If not for this, today's plan would only drag the Su family into the quagmire and they would never be able to recover.
Su Shengsheng has a sister who got pregnant before marriage, and she still wants to marry King Xuanming as his principal wife?
That's simply wishful thinking!
Jun Yao watched Xie Xuan's gaze follow the carriage as it left, her face furious, "I want them all dead."
Qi Man responded coldly, "Don't worry, young lady. The master has already sent gifts to the two masters, Qin Qi. Once the Fan family's memorial is submitted, we will join forces to deal with the Su family. Not a single one of them will escape."
"Sixth sister, I want to go home... I want to go home..."
Su Yuanling burst into tears, but this time, there was no despair in her eyes.
She always thought that everyone would blame her behind her back and she didn't want to bring shame to her family.
But now, so many women who have never met her face have come forward to give her the courage to live.
Su Yuanling, who has always been afraid of bringing trouble to her family, now just wants to return to her family.
"Okay, let's go home." Su Shengsheng hugged her tightly.
…
When I returned to the Su family, the atmosphere was solemn.
"How could you two girls be so bold to hide such a big thing from us?"
Su Shengsheng knelt down and apologized: "This is all my fault, granddaughter. Please punish me, grandpa and grandma."
The person behind the scenes had such an ingenious plan that even Xie Xuan was included in it. His strength should not be underestimated.
If it weren't for the unexpected support from those women today, Fourth Sister would never have been able to survive this difficult time.
Su Yuanling also slowly knelt down and choked up, "Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother, it was I who begged my sixth sister to take me away."
Jiao hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "My poor child, how could she become like this!"
At this time, although Mrs. Cen was in confinement, she ignored her frail body and walked out of the room with the child in her arms.
"My dear aunt, you are so foolish! How could you handle such a thing alone? Your brother is so eager to kill the Fan family with a knife. If anything happens to you, your father, mother, and your brother will be heartbroken."
Zhong was also shocked. She didn't expect Su Shengsheng to dare to take Su Yuanling away from the family.
"It's just that you only found out today that Yuan Ling is pregnant. How did outsiders know about it?"
Of course she felt sorry for the family girl being humiliated in the street, but Su Shengsheng kept the matter secret so tightly that even they had just learned about it. How could an outsider have predicted it in advance and exposed it?
Just now, Mu Ze took advantage of the chaos to tell Qing Ning the whole story.
It turned out that they had received a letter of accusation and were able to stop the Bai family caravan in time.
Zhong's words plunged the room into silence, and everyone's hearts were filled with confusion and anxiety.
