Chapter 43 Do you know what my man does?

"Xia Juanjuan, what...what do you mean?" Zhang Erni asked with some stuttering.

Somehow, she felt a little uneasy.

Think about what happened a few days ago, when Xia Juanjuan casually brought down Secretary Wang and Song Xiu Yue, who were arrogant and domineering in the village, and sent Li Zhiqing to jail!

Although it was indeed Secretary Wang, Song Xiu Yue and Li Zhiqing who brought this upon themselves, there was also something evil about Xia Juanjuan!

Let's not talk about anything else, just her mother-in-law Liu Lan. Before Xia Juanjuan married, who in the Li family didn't listen to Liu Lan? Li Zhan also got all the subsidies in his hands, and he was as arrogant as he could be in the village!

But what about now? Xia Juanjuan successfully separated the family and lived alone the day after she got married, and even asked Li Zhan to give her most of the allowance. Instead, Liu Lan was overshadowed by the new daughter-in-law!

You say this isn't evil?

The more Zhang Erni thought about it, the more scared she became. Would she... be harmed?

Xia Juanjuan looked at her with a sneer and said, "Don't understand? You are so stupid, no wonder you didn't know you were in big trouble. I'll just remind you. Do you know what my man Li Zhan does?"

Zhang Erni was stunned. Who didn't know this? Li Zhan was a soldier, and he got so much allowance every month. Who in the village wouldn't be jealous?

"No...Isn't it just serving in the army? What's so great about that?"

Xia Juanjuan's cold eyes swept over everyone present, and then she said loudly:

"You still know this! Since my man is a soldier, my identity is that of a military dependent. How dare you make up rumors about me, saying that I seduce a wild man? That is deliberately ruining my reputation and stirring up trouble between me and my man! Do you know what this is called? To put it mildly, it is a gossip-monger spreading rumors. To put it seriously, it is a spy lurking among the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble and sneak attack the rear of the soldiers! Zhang Erni, what kind of person are you? Let's go! Let's go to the commune and let Secretary Zhao take it away!"

The more Zhang Erni listened, the paler her face became. By the end, her legs and feet went limp and she sat down on the ground with her eyes wide open. After a while, she was so scared that she burst into tears!

In that special era, if you were accused of being in conflict with the enemy, in serious cases you would be executed!

"I...I...I'm just making it up! These are all gossips from Auntie Wu! And she said it was reliable information! It has nothing to do with me! I...I would rather die than go to the commune!"

The other people present who were gossiping and waiting to see Xia Juanjuan make a fool of herself were frightened to the point of losing their legs and feet, and tried to distance themselves from the matter.

"Li... Li's wife, I didn't say anything! I just heard them talking nonsense and was thinking that I must scold them seriously... and then you came over!"

"Mrs. Li, as God is my witness, I don't believe these lies either... It's all... Aunt Wu! I don't know where she heard it from, but she said it as if it were true. We... We were also deceived!"

When the others heard this, they immediately began to blame Aunt Wu.

"That's right! This was all started by Auntie Wu!"

"Auntie Wu, you should go to the commune and confess to Secretary Zhao. Was it some enemy who instigated you? Don't implicate us!"

When Aunt Wu heard that everyone was pointing fingers at her, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She raised her hand and slapped herself hard several times, while she swore and cursed in a crying voice:

"Oh my God! I am so wronged! If I hadn't heard it from the daughter of the Li family, would I have come out and said such nonsense? Now why is it all my fault! That evil woman! If I run into her next time, I will tear her mouth to pieces and spit on her to death!"

As she spoke, Aunt Wu looked at Xia Juanjuan with a flattering smile, slapped her own broken mouth hard, and begged:

"Daughter-in-law of the Li family, look... your aunt is still a gossipmonger, always gossiping about other people's affairs and spitting dog shit at them. Auntie really didn't mean it this time! It was all your aunt... that bitch who fooled me! I won't dare to do it again in the future! Daughter-in-law of the Li family, just... just forgive Auntie this time, and don't tell the secretary about it!"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xia Juanjuan stopped pressing the issue, but her face remained as cold as ice as before.

"Since you said so, Aunt Wu, I will not pursue today's matter seriously! Let's stop here! However, I have said my ugly words in advance. In the future, if I hear a word that slanders my innocence again! I, Xia Juanjuan, will not be a human being if I don't pursue it to the end and make you regret being born by your mother!"

Anyway, he didn't even bother to look at these people, he walked past them with a cold face and headed towards the mountain.

He walked and sneered.

The daughter of the Li family is her sister-in-law Li Qiaoqiao. But Li Qiaoqiao is also quite stupid, and I'm afraid her mother Liu Lan can't escape the connection either!

However, the fact that she "eloped with a man" the night before her wedding should only be known to the Xia family, and the Xia family should not have taken the initiative to spread it out!

After all, although the Xia family disliked the original owner, they still had two granddaughters, Xia Fangfang and Xia Lanlan, who were not married yet. Her reputation, Xia Juanjuan, was worthless, but if it was ruined, then Xia Fangfang and Xia Lanlan would also lose value and become worthless goods!

Li Cuihua is not stupid. She would definitely strictly forbid the Xia family from going out and talking nonsense!

Could it be that Xu Jiayuan told Li Qiaoqiao himself?

That's impossible. He is the 'man' who tried to rape the original woman. Is he stupid enough to say it out loud and leave an excuse?

Xia Juanjuan thought about it for a while. Because she had not expected the stupidity of someone in the Xia family, she did not guess that it was Xia Lanlan who said it.

She shook her head and put the matter aside. She would always have a chance to find out the truth in the future anyway, so there was no need to rush.

The most urgent task now is to think of how to shut up the villagers and make these rumors that have already spread dispel themselves!

In this era, especially in most rural areas, a woman's reputation is still more important than her life! Once rumors spread about this matter, it will not be stopped by just a few words of threats!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be sayings like “Be more careful of what people say than of what rivers flow” and “People’s words are scary” being passed down.

The villagers were afraid of her because of what she had just said. They might not dare to say it to her face, but they were probably even more resentful of her behind her back and made up rumors that were even more vicious and outrageous!

Moreover, there are so many bachelors in the village, scoundrels who live a life of idleness and waiting to die, and even many men who are married. Which one of them doesn't have some evil thoughts in his mind?

There is always trouble around a widow.

Although she has a man, she is notorious for her fierce fighting. To put it bluntly, she is really a widow!

Those men probably think it's more exciting than being a widow!

They may have the heart but not the courage for a day or two, but what about a month or two? There will always be flies that are not afraid of death and swarm around.

By then, even if those men fail to succeed, she will at least get into trouble!

Therefore, this matter must be dealt with immediately.

Xia Juanjuan thought for a moment and came up with a plan in her mind. She continued walking towards the mountain with the backpack on her back.
