After hearing what Aunt Guo said and seeing Yang Niannian's sad face with tears in her eyes, everyone was instantly drawn into the role of Yang Niannian.

It was as if they were the one who was sold by their own mother and brothers and sisters, and they all blamed Huang Guihua.

Especially the village chief's wife, who squeezed out from the crowd, pouted and loudly accused.

"Guihua, this is your fault. Nian Nian is also your daughter. Even if you are partial, you can't sell your daughter, right?"

"This is the first time I've seen a mother spreading rumors about her daughter behind her back." The village head's daughter-in-law rarely stood on the same side as her mother-in-law.

Aunt Guo continued to expose Huang Guihua's favoritism.

"I remember that Nian Nian was better at studying than Huiying, but Guihua let Huiying study and let Nian Nian do farm work at home. Nian Nian did all the dirty and tiring work at home, while Huiying just used a pen to write. Because Nian Nian was honest, she suffered at home every day."

Yang Niannian turned around, grabbed Aunt Guo's hand, and sobbed softly on her shoulder.

"Auntie, I know you treat me the best. If you don't speak up for me, no one will be able to testify for me for all the grievances I've suffered."

Lu Ruoling was stunned watching from the side. Her second sister-in-law strangled her mother to death at home, but she was not afraid of her mother-in-law. She was like a fighting god and had no record of defeat.

How come you become like water as soon as you return to your mother's house?

Look, I've already shed two big bowls of tears without even saying these three sentences.

Aunt Guo felt flattered by Yang Niannian's praise. She felt like a great hero who was seeking justice for the people, and she spoke even more excitedly.

"I can see how miserable Nian Nian is. She doesn't like to say anything and just works hard. You should know this without me telling you. Isn't she the one who washes clothes by the river and weeds in the fields? During the busy farming season, she works day and night. Who doesn't know this?"

"Guihua bought fabrics to make new clothes, but she never did anything for Nian Nian. She only picked up old clothes left over by her sister. She gets up earlier than chickens and goes to bed later than dogs every day. How pitiful is this child?"

"As an outsider, I can't bear to watch this. As her own mother, your heart is so crooked that you did something unfair to your daughter and even spread rumors behind her back. Is this something a human being would do?"

If these words came out of Yang Niannian's mouth, it would be like complaining.

If it came out of Aunt Guo's mouth, no one else would be able to bear it.

Aunt Guo was quite amazing. She spoke so many words without even taking a breath. She complained for Yang Niannian while criticizing Huang Guihua.

Huang Guihua was beautiful when she was young, and she was a widow. The women in the village were always worried that she would seduce their men, and they always disliked her.

When they heard about the dirty things she had done, they all stood on Yang Niannian's side and criticized Huang Guihua and Yang Tianzhu.

Huang Guihua was confused. It was clearly planned that she should pretend to be sick to trick Yang Niannian back, and then scold Yang Niannian for a few words before apologizing and making peace with her.

Why doesn't everything go according to plan?

Yang Tianzhu's face didn't look much better either. If Yang Huiying hadn't repeatedly reminded him not to make things worse, he would have gone up and beat Yang Niannian.

Seeing that everyone's words were becoming more and more unpleasant, he squeezed in front of Huang Guihua and morally blackmailed Yang Niannian.

"Are you going to make our mom angry to death? No matter what, our mom gave birth to you and raised you. Even if she did something wrong and was a little biased, that's normal, right? Whose family treats everyone equally? Whose children don't work?"

Huang Guihua was blushing at the moment because of what everyone was saying. She didn't know what to do. But when she heard her son's words, she immediately had an idea.

She covered her chest and gasped as if she had asthma.

Yang Tianzhu patted Huang Guihua on the back, turned around and glared at Yang Niannian and scolded him.

"Look how mad you made our mother. Do you think you will be satisfied only if our mother kowtows to you and admits her fault?"

When Huang Guihua heard this, she wiped her tears and slid down from the stool, kneeling down as she was told.

"Niannian, I was wrong. I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake, okay? Please forgive me this time, as I am a magnanimous person."

Yang Niannian, who was sobbing on Aunt Guo's shoulder, noticed this scene with her sharp eyes.

She moved faster than Huang Guihua. Before Huang Guihua could kneel down, she slid down and knelt in front of Huang Guihua.

Without giving Huang Guihua a chance to speak, she cried and asked, "Mom, you kneel to me, are you trying to shorten my life? If your kneeling spreads out, how can I live as a human being? Do you want to force me to death again?"

In countries where the culture of filial piety is passed down, no matter what mistakes the parents make, a mother kneeling to her child can offset all sins in the eyes of outsiders.

If she doesn't kneel down, it will be useless even if word gets out that she has been wronged.

Huang Guihua was dumbfounded. She had tried her best, but she didn't expect the little girl to be so smart and was able to resolve all the problems.

Is this still her little girl?

How can a person change so much in just a few months?

Huang Guihua stared at Yang Niannian. The more she looked, the more unfamiliar she felt. Suddenly, her mind seemed to become clear. She opened her mouth and pointed in horror at Yang Niannian who was kneeling in front of her.

"You, you are not my daughter."

Once this thought came out, it spread like wildfire and she couldn't stop it. She stared at Yang Niannian and questioned him.

"Who are you? Who are you? No matter who you are, get off my daughter."

If I think about it carefully, my daughter changed so much after she jumped into the river.

Huang Guihua has always been superstitious. She thought that some demon or ghost had possessed the little girl.

If that were the case, everything would be explained.

Yang Tianzhu seemed to be awakened. He stared at Yang Niannian with a fierce look on his face, pushed her aside and yelled at her.

"Get off my sister now, or else, don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Ruoling quickly supported Yang Niannian and asked fiercely, "Why did you push my second sister-in-law?"

The villagers were so frightened by what Huang Guihua and her son said that they retreated one after another, fearing that Yang Niannian would turn into a ghost and eat people.

Auntie Guo thought Huang Guihua and Yang Tianzhu were crazy. "Who else could this be but Nian Nian? What the hell are you two doing in broad daylight?"

Huang Guihua pointed at Yang Niannian, fear in her eyes but her tone was very confident.

"She is not Nian Nian. The dirty thing has attached itself to her. This dirty thing must have attached itself to her when Nian Nian jumped into the river."

Yang Niannian lowered her head, a gleam in her eyes. It had been several months before she suspected that she was not the original owner. She didn't know whether she should be happy for herself or sad for the original owner.

Aunt Guo felt uneasy after hearing what Huang Guihua said. She thought it was very strange, but she said it out loud.

"What are you talking about in broad daylight? I've lived to a ripe old age, and I've never heard of anything that can stay in a person's body for more than a few months."

Huang Guihua didn’t know how to prove it, but she just felt that the person in front of her was not a little girl at all.

Yang Tianzhu stared at Yang Niannian with a fierce look in his eyes, "Doesn't Uncle Zhou have a black dog at home? I'll go kill it and take its blood. I heard that dirty things are afraid of black dog blood."
