"Zhan Xinyue, you dare to hit me." Zhan Hongyan covered her red and swollen mouth and questioned sadly and viciously.

"I'm going to fight you, why are you still asking?" Zhan Xinyue sneered: "Are you a fool?"

Zhan Xinyue approached Zhan Hongyan and said in a voice that matched theirs: "This is not the first time I've hit you, Zhan Hongyan. If you dare to provoke me again, I will tell everyone in the brigade that it was you who slept with Huang Jianjun last night."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, which immediately made Zhan Hongyan pale with astonishment. She dared not say a word, and covered her face, wanting to escape back home.

Zhan Xinyue was not willing to let her go so quickly, so she grabbed her and asked, "Zhan Hongyan, tell me yourself, should I hit you?"

"You deserve to be beaten." Zhan Hongyan was afraid that Zhan Xinyue would really tell others about her losing her virginity, so she nodded in humiliation.

"Can I go? I have to go to work."

"Why should I be beaten?" Zhan Xinyue was not willing to let her go so easily.

"I shouldn't have said that you live in the Sheng family before you get married." Zhan Hongyan sobbed in pain: "You have no place to live now. Captain Sheng has already gone to the army. Grandma Sheng is at home, so you can live in the Sheng family."

Zhan Xinyue looked at the members who came to watch the play and asked loudly: "Comrades, what do you think, can I live here?"

"Of course you can. You and Captain Sheng are already engaged. He can go back to the army to file a marriage report and get married when he comes back. You are his wife now, but you don't have a marriage certificate yet. Why can't you live here?"

The first person to speak was Secretary Liu's wife, Wang Xiumei, and she was not biased towards Zhan Xinyue. After all, this was not the feudal era where a wedding ceremony was required to gain entry.

Moreover, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened. In the 1950s and 1960s, many places suffered from natural disasters, and there were many refugees, among whom there were many lonely young ladies.

Whenever these young ladies fled to a place, enthusiastic officials would help to act as matchmakers and find a family for them.

In those poor times, people could not even afford enough food to eat, so how could they have the money to hold a wedding banquet? They could not even come up with the 1.6 yuan required for a marriage certificate, which meant they just lived together without a wedding banquet or a marriage certificate.

The movie starring Zhu Shimao, where he was asked whether he wanted a wife or not, happened in that era. Although the heroine here is not a refugee, she does have no place to live, and the hero is not at home. She lives with her grandmother, and it is not considered that she lived with the hero before marriage.

I'd like to say this in particular. In fact, that era was not as feudal as we imagine. Some period novels, for dramatic effect, will write some things very seriously. The setting of each book is different, so don't complain about me because of the setting of a certain book.

The death penalty for having sex before marriage was actually a thing that happened in 1983. That year, there was a crackdown. Then I searched the news and found that those who were sentenced to death were those who had sex with multiple people before marriage. Generally, one-on-one sex would not happen. In the end, it’s still the same sentence. Read online articles for your happiness, don’t look for logic. 》

"Of course you can live there. Otherwise, why live in the Zhan family? I think it's dirty. I don't even know which bed the captain, bah, that old beast Huang Jianjun sleeps on." A skinny aunt pouted and said with disgust.

"We must live here. Our Xinyue is so beautiful. It's not safe to live here alone. The walls of the Sheng family are high, the gate is locked, and Grandma Sheng is here to keep us company. This is good."

All the people present were on Zhan Xinyue's side. Everyone was aware that Zhan Xinyue had been hardworking, had done a lot and spoken a lot over the years. Zhan Hongyan was sneaky and liked to play tricks on others, so everyone was definitely willing to help Zhan Xinyue.

What's more, Zhan Xinyue's husband Sheng Tunan not only bought them meat, but also donated money to the brigade school to repair the leaking roof and order new desks and chairs. Their children finally didn't have to get wet in the rain when going to school, and they didn't have to worry about someone falling down suddenly because of a broken chair while sitting.

We are not ungrateful people. We have benefited from Headmaster Sheng. Now that he is not here, we must help his wife more.

"Thank you all for speaking up for me." Zhan Xinyue nodded slightly, turned to Zhan Hongyan and said coldly: "This is the last time. If you dare to cause trouble to me again in the future, it won't be as simple as beating you up."

Zhan Hongyan nodded repeatedly and promised: "I will never dare to do that again."

After saying this, he covered his face and ran away crying.

As soon as she left, the others went to work in the fields. Wang Xiumei fell behind and gave Zhan Xinyue a thumbs up.

"Xinyue, you did the right thing today. You have to take action when dealing with people like this. You were too tolerant in the past, and they bullied you like that."

Wang Xiumei is also a fierce person. Her husband, Secretary Liu, is very shameless in doing things, but in the countryside, if both husband and wife are honest, they will not be able to get by, even if they are officials.

Over the years, Wang Xiumei helped Secretary Liu solve all the difficulties he encountered in his work.

In the countryside, just talking about principles won't work.

"Yes, I was too foolish and filial before." Zhan Xinyue laughed at herself. She was kept in the dark for the first half of her life. Even though she knew that Zhan Aiguo and Chen Juxiang were partial, she still gave them money to buy a house.

Of course, she is not the Virgin Mary, so she knows that the child is not her biological child, so she takes it back and takes revenge.

In the previous life, after the Zhan family was driven out, Zhan Xinyue told them not to have any work, which led to them picking up garbage for a living until they died.

"It's not too late to know now. Head Sheng is a good person. It's better for you and your family to live a good life in the future."

Wang Xiumei smiled and said, without staying any longer, she hurried to work.

As soon as they left, Zhan Xinyue helped her grandmother into the yard, locked the door, and let her sit under the big pomelo tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

"Grandma, do you think I hit people too hard?" Zhan Xinyue didn't have to go to work, so she moved a chair to sit with her grandma. The beating she just did must have looked very fierce.

In Zhan Xinyue's impression, Grandma Sheng has always been kind and gentle, and she was afraid of scaring the old lady.
