"It's over, it's all over."
Old Mrs. Wang collapsed to the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing.
Wang Qiaohui's reputation is ruined; how will she afford to pay for her youngest son's bride price?
That vile woman, Wang Qiaohui, is deliberately trying to ruin her third brother's marriage.
"Where are they? What are they standing there for? Drag them away right now!"
Gu Xianjin shouted angrily.
A lot of young people are staring at it shamelessly right now; it's absolutely indecent.
Gu Xiaoxiao stood at the back of the crowd, watching Wang Qiaohui and the other two being dragged away like dead dogs, and a chill ran down her spine.
If Wang Qiaohui's scheme had succeeded, she would be the one now, utterly disgraced and treated like a slut.
"Don't be afraid, it's all in the past, she won't hurt us anymore."
Ruan Qiushui came out from behind the tree and saw that Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale, so she went up and patted her on the shoulder.
"Third sister-in-law."
Gu Xiaoxiao felt Ruan Qiushui's warmth and her heart calmed down a bit.
The remaining seven parts will need time to heal. Hopefully, they won't become nightmares if they resurface in the middle of the night.
Ruan Qiushui escorted Gu Xiaoxiao back to the Gu family home and waited until the snack workshop was completed before Xie Xiuying and the other two returned home.
"Ruan'er is here? Did Auntie's lunch taste good?"
Xie Xiuying saw Ruan Qiushui laughing so hard her eyes disappeared.
"tasty."
That lunchbox is still at the clinic; it hasn't been touched yet.
"I heard that the brigade went up the mountain today and found a big fat pig, and also witnessed Wang Qiaohui doing something shameless. Is that true?"
Aside from going home to cook lunch, Xie Xiuying and the other two stayed in the workshop all day and had no chance to watch the excitement.
"yes."
Ruan Qiushui nodded, unsure how to begin.
"Mother! You're finally back."
When Gu Xiaoxiao heard Xie Xiuying mention Wang Qiaohui, she immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
"What's wrong? How old are you? Still crying? Aren't you ashamed?"
She was happy to see Gu Xiaoxiao and Ruan Qiushui sitting together peacefully when she got home, so why did she start crying?
Ruan Yatou would never bully her. Could it be that she did something stupid again and felt embarrassed?
"Auntie, let's go inside and talk."
Gu Xiaoxiao felt better after speaking out, and it also served as a reminder to the Gu family.
"oh."
Xie Xiuying was taken aback. Seeing that Ruan Qiushui looked serious, she quickly sent Zhou Lan and He Chunhua to the brigade to distribute pork and bring it back to cook dinner.
…
"That viper Wang Qiaohui, I'm going to chop her up right now."
You dare to make a move on her daughter-in-law and daughter? You want to declare war on the Gu family?
My mother is going to set her house on fire.
"Auntie, please calm down."
Ruan Qiushui quickly grabbed Xie Xiuying's hand.
This matter must not be spread, otherwise she and Gu Xiaoxiao will not be able to clear their names.
"I... I just feel so suffocated inside."
Xie Xiuying realized that she couldn't let this matter escalate. She felt a tightness in her chest, unable to calm down, and extremely uncomfortable.
"Little Ruan, it's all thanks to you."
If it weren't for Ruan's quick wit, my daughter would probably already be...
"You stupid girl, I told you to stay away from Wang Qiaohui a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now let's see if you'll learn your lesson. From now on, take your brain with you and don't leave it at home."
Xie Xiuying didn't even know how to complain about her daughter; she's such a worry.
"Mother, I understand."
Gu Xiaoxiao made a solemn promise.
She knew she was easily deceived, so in the future, she would always make sure her mother and third sister-in-law approved of her friendships.
"Alright, alright, wipe your tears, Mom's going out to cook."
"Ruan, sit with Xiaoxiao for a while, and go back after you finish eating."
The two daughters-in-law have already brought back their share of pork, and now they're waiting for her to cook.
"Third Sister-in-law, how did you know there was a wild boar on the mountain?"
After Xie Xiuying left, Gu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
The timing of this wild boar's appearance was incredibly coincidental.
"I just made up an excuse, who knew there really were wild boars there."
Ruan Qiushui looked surprised and found it unbelievable.
Are you suggesting we tell Gu Xiaoxiao that it's from her personal space? Wouldn't that be even more terrifying than the schemes and plots of Wang Qiaohui and the other two?
"Hey, can you hear me?" x3
"At 7 p.m. tonight, each household will send two representatives to the dam for a meeting. The brigade will hold a criticism and struggle session against Wang Qiaohui, Lai San, and Wang Dashu, followed by a vote on their punishment."
“Repeat…”
"Quickly, let's go see a show right after we finish eating."
Xie Xiuying was putting the dishes on the table, eagerly waiting for the old man to announce that dinner was ready.
She went early to secure a good spot and then slapped Wang Qiaohui hard across the face with the sole of her shoe.
It would be best to spit a couple more times, and it would be even better if you were allowed to bring a spittoon.
"What show are you watching? Don't corrupt your daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson."
That old woman is really being reckless. What's so interesting about this kind of commotion? Just thinking about it makes him feel ashamed.
"You old geezer, get in here."
Xie Xiuying slammed her hand on the table and pulled Gu Guangrong into the house.
"What! She dares! I'm so angry!"
Inside the room came Gu Guangrong's angry shouts and the cracking sound of the bed being hit hard.
"Squeak!"
Gu Guangrong opened the door and walked out with a gloomy face.
"Eat quickly, then we'll go to the dam."
Gu Guangrong started eating first, and seeing his three sons still staring blankly, he couldn't help but tap their heads with his chopsticks.
Gu Changjiang, Gu Changshan, and Gu Changshu, not understanding what was going on, wisely started eating quickly.
This meal felt like a battle; even the meat didn't taste good.
"Your mother and I are going out for a bit. You all stay home. Fourth son, you and the two children take Ruan back home."
After giving his instructions, Gu Guangrong led Xie Xiuying outside.
It's best not to let them see such dirty things.
Ruan Qiushui returned to the clinic, put aside Wang Qiaohui's worries, went into her spatial dimension to enjoy the hot springs for a while, and then fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Gu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door.
"What's wrong? Come in and tell me."
Ruan Qiushui rubbed her arms, which were feeling a bit uncomfortable from the cold wind blowing in.
"The brigade has issued its punishment for Wang Qiaohui and the others."
Although the result wasn't entirely satisfactory, it was the best that her parents could manage.
"How so?"
Ruan Qiushui was somewhat curious.
Gu Xianjin, considering the situation from the perspective of the captain, concluded that, according to convention, this matter would certainly not escalate. Therefore, reporting them for having illicit relationships and sending them to jail was out of the question.
But if we just let Wang Qiaohui get married like this, wouldn't that be letting her off too easily? It would be better to marry her off to someone in a remote mountain village.
"My uncle made Wang Qiaohui and Lai San get their marriage certificate today, and he also removed the three of them from the brigade and kicked them out of the brigade."
The main purpose is to distance themselves from the issue, so that even if someone brings it up again in the future, it will not be their business.
"Old Wang's family will also pay fifty yuan as compensation for the damage to the brigade's reputation."
If it weren't for the Wang family's willingness to pay, the whole family would probably have been kicked out.
