"Liang Shu, I've told you so many times that our Guan Rou will never go back to that poor mountain valley with you. Just give up on this idea!"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like? Are you worthy of our Guan Rou? How dare a stinky farmer get close to her? He's really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Zhang Guilan has not left the house for the past two days. Is she reflecting on herself at home? No, she is just brainwashing herself. Isn't it amazing that she can now say such shameless words openly?
When these words came out, even Lin Yanbai was amazed at how thick-skinned she was. How could she say such shameless things and still act so confident?
Zhang Guilan continued to speak: "Besides, our family hasn't come to terms with you yet. You just thought our Rourou was pretty, so you followed Huang Shiren's example and forced our Guan Rou to marry you... and now she's still haunting us. Why is our Guan Rou so miserable?"
As he said this, he sat down on the ground, slapped his thigh and started crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide.
No wonder! Lin Yanbai was thoughtful. No wonder Zhang Guilan was so arrogant today. It turned out that she was trying to pass the buck! She portrayed Liang Shu as a bully, while Guan Rou was portrayed as an oppressed little white flower. This move, I have to say, was really... shameless!
"Don't bully my dad!"
Liang Xiaochen, who was leaning against Liang Shu, raised his head, revealing his tear-stained face. He looked at Zhang Guilan, the person he called grandma, with hatred.
The hatred in his eyes frightened Zhang Guilan. Then she realized that she had actually been frightened by a little kid. She felt a little annoyed: "What do you know, little brat? You guys don't know..."
Zhang Guilan clapped her hands and began her performance.
In her narration, Liang Shu and the people in their entire village were simply unforgivable criminals. She described how Guan Rou from her family struggled to protect herself in the face of numerous crises, and finally fell into the trap of this villain and had to marry Liang Shu in tears.
After marriage, Guan Rou was brutally bullied by her in-laws. After giving birth to Liang Xiaochen, the unscrupulous Liang family did not allow her to raise the child herself, resulting in the child not being close to her and even being raised astray...
In the end, Guan Rou relied on her own efforts to get into university and finally got rid of this family of devils!
Finally, she trembled and concluded: "My poor daughter, oh my..."
Liang Shu clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He was really afraid that he would not be able to resist and beat up the old woman. Now was not a good time. Well - if he wanted to beat her, maybe he could do it when there was no one around..."
However, the story was well-written, and her performance was so heartfelt that the neighbors who were watching the fun couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This... Was Guan Rou really forced?
Listening to the noisy conversations of the neighbors around, Zhang Guilan showed a proud look on her face. It was really their daughter Rourou's trick that was brilliant. She asked what this was, an axe or something, and it really worked!
(Guan Rou: ...that's like removing the fuel from under the cauldron, illiterate!)
Amidst the chatter, Zhang Guilan sensitively caught a strange sound, a bit like... cracking sunflower seeds!!!
Lin Yanbai was seen leaning against the door frame with a look of watching a show on his face, holding a plate of melon seeds that he had brought out from somewhere, and eating them with relish.
The two little jade dolls at her feet followed her mother's example, eating melon seeds and watching the show...
Zhang Guilan was furious. Lin Yanbai, you are looking down on someone with your attitude!
To some extent, Zhang Guilan hated Lin Yanbai more than Liang Shu. She had no idea how much she had suffered at her hands!
This really feels like old enemies meeting and being extremely jealous of each other!
Zhang Guilan stared at Lin Yanbai and her two children with a strange look on her face. She was about to burst into a curse. Liang Shu didn't want to implicate innocent people, so he quickly stopped her and said,
"Aunt Zhang, this is a grudge between Guan Rou and me, it has nothing to do with anyone else..."
Liang Shu was not a talkative person, and he didn't talk much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Zhang Guilan to distort the truth for so long without saying a word.
However, Liang Shu was a good man. This was his family affair, and he didn't want to involve others. Seeing Zhang Guilan's scolding like a shrew, he was a little worried that Comrade Lin would cry...
Lin Yanbai: ...? Who knows who will cry then!
Zhang Guilan looked Liang Shu up and down, then looked at Lin Yanbai and smiled, "No wonder, is he looking for a new lover?"
Liang Shu's face suddenly turned red, and even with his naturally dark skin covering it up, others could see his shyness at a glance.
Although he lived in the countryside, some of the old ladies said even more outrageous things than this, but Liang Shu had been taciturn since he was a child, and no one in the village had ever made such a joke on him...
What's more, other people are involved...
"Aunt, you know in your heart that this is none of other people's business, and there is no need to confuse right and wrong here. I believe you also know what is going on between Guan Rou and me..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhang Guilan: "What do you mean? You dare to do it but not to take responsibility? Our Guan Rou is so unlucky to have met you..."
After being brainwashed so much, Zhang Guilan is no longer afraid at all. She has told so many lies that it seems that she has even fooled herself.
"Tsk—Zhang Guilan, you've said everything. You're really wasting your time in this little alley. I think you and your daughter should just set up a stage and go perform. It's perfect for you, Guan Roubian, to act in this play. It's absolutely perfect!"
No matter how ignorant she was, she could still hear the sarcasm in Lin Yan's vernacular. Looking at the suspicion in the eyes of the neighbors, she gritted her teeth and insisted that her daughter Guan Rou had been forced to marry Liang Shu!
Lin Yanbai was so angry that she almost laughed: "It's just a fabrication. No matter how realistic it is, it can't be true! Don't you always say that your Guan Rou is in poor health? If that's the case, how did she survive those few years in the countryside?
As expected, it should be the son-in-law next to you who is protecting her? Let alone Guan Rou, it seems that she has not suffered any hardship in the past few years!
"Yes, yes, Guan Rou is as fair and tender as she was when she went to the countryside a few years ago!"
"Right, right, right. Isn't it said that people in the countryside need to farm? She doesn't look like she's ever worked in the fields!"
…
Listening to the discussion, Zhang Guilan panicked and gritted her teeth, "That's...that's because he was afraid that our Guan Rou would run away, so he locked her up...yes, locked her up!"
Got tricked! Lin Yanbai gave an ambiguous smile.
"If it's really like what you said, imprisoning others privately, isn't that illegal? So, let's just do this. Liang Shu is here anyway, so why don't you just take him and call the police!"
