Chapter 171 I am Qin Shi Huang
When Huang Xiumei heard this, she couldn't help but reveal a confused look on her face.
Su Nanzhi clearly knew that Huang Baogui was her brother, so why was she pretending not to know now?
But before she could figure it out, Su Nanzhi spoke again.
"Your Qin Lie got involved with his comrade's wife before they were even married. Anyone who contacts the army will know about this. The question is, do you dare?"
Huang Xiumei certainly didn't dare. She could only repeat palely, "It's all because of your carelessness that you broke my Qin Lie's heart. That's why he was schemed against."
Su Nanzhi rolled her eyes without any scruples. "Your son is pure and innocent. A man in his twenties and a soldier, he was schemed by a woman."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Huang Xiumei's face turned pale and blue, and she knew that her son was with his comrade's wife. Qin Youliang was afraid that Huang Xiumei would cause trouble for Qin Lie by talking too much, so he just said something vaguely.
Xue Jiawang on the side spoke angrily.
"Who do you think your Qin family is? If we hadn't been deceived by your family back then, your Qin family wouldn't have any business at all."
"Nanzhi was betrothed to my family before she was even born. Your son, a philandering soldier, is nothing."
"Besides, we've all watched Nanzhi grow up. She was such a well-behaved girl when she was little, but how come she became a promiscuous person after coming to your Qin family?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of how cute and well-behaved Su Nanzhi was when she was little, and then thought of what happened in the morning.
Su Nanzhi is a martyr's family member and a heroine who saved a kidnapped child. They cannot just listen to one side of the story and discourage her good comrade.
Besides, if a soldier has an affair with his comrade's wife, what does that have to do with him having an affair with his brother's wife?
This shows his character.
After realizing this, everyone had a worse impression of Huang Xiumei and began to speak up for her.
"Sister, you can't say anything without any evidence."
"Yes, if everyone spreads rumors, wouldn't that disrupt social order?"
"Nanzhi was a very well-behaved child when she was little. She had nothing to do with people who have affairs with men and women."
Huang Xiumei didn't expect these people to defend Su Nanzhi so much. She slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and started crying.
"Our Qin family worked so hard to raise Su Nanzhi, and now that she's grown up, she despises our Qin family for being poor. It's really disheartening."
"When someone at home stutters, we let Su Nanzhi eat first. We even paid for Su Nanzhi to go to junior high school. But this ungrateful Su Nanzhi actually teamed up with others to bully me."
"I don't want to live anymore..."
After Huang Xiumei cried like this, those who were originally dissatisfied with her suddenly fell silent for a moment, and some soft-hearted people even started to persuade Su Nanzhi.
"Nanzhi, she is your adoptive mother after all. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"
"Yes, the Qin family raised you up anyway. Even if they didn't contribute anything, they still worked hard."
…
Su Nanzhi felt a little helpless. In this era, filial piety was the most important virtue. The Qin family raised her to adulthood and had an innate advantage.
But if she cared about what others thought, she might as well just die the day she was reborn.
"If someone in your family stutters, why should you let me eat first? Why did you make me malnourished? And what about school? I'm in junior high school, why don't you tell me why I'm in high school? Your daughter who always gets the worst grades is in high school."
Yesterday, many neighbors heard the doctor say that Su Nanzhi was a little malnourished. Even those who didn't hear it could all see how thin Su Nanzhi looked when she first arrived. The Qin family really didn't take good care of her.
And since Su Nanzhi only went to junior high school, it sounds like there is some hidden story?
Xue Jiawang was already angry, and he became even angrier when he heard Huang Xiumei say this.
Although his family was not wealthy, his eldest son and second son both graduated from high school. Even his youngest son only studied up to junior high school because of the bad situation.
It was obvious that Su Nanzhi was smarter than his three sons, but she did not go to high school.
"Nanzhi's child was delayed by your Qin family. You should know that Nanzhi's parents are both high school students, but Nanzhi has become a junior high school student."
Xue Jiawang's words immediately resonated with the people around him.
They were not familiar with Su Nanzhi, but Su Minglang and his wife could be said to be rare intellectuals in Baihua Lane back then. It was just that both of them had bad luck and died at a young age.
She left her daughter behind and went to the countryside. Although her junior high school education was not low, compared with Su Minglang and his wife, one could not help but feel sorry for Su Nanzhi.
Everyone already sympathized with Su Nanzhi, and the more they thought about it, the more pitiful they felt for Su Nanzhi.
"Su Nanzhi can't learn well on her own, what can I do?" Huang Xiumei was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that her family hadn't been kind to Su Nanzhi. If she dug deeper, she wouldn't get any good results. So she simply started to play dirty. "My family raised you, a little girl, but instead of being grateful, you resent me. You shouldn't have let my husband adopt you."
Su Nanzhi sneered. Just because the Qin family adopted her, she was skinned and torn apart by the Qin family in her previous life. Huang Xiumei wanted to do the same to her in this life, and she didn't want to accompany them anymore.
"Did your family really want to adopt me back then?"
Looking at Huang Xiumei's behavior of throwing a tantrum, Su Nanzhi's eyes were filled with disgust that was hard to conceal.
"If it wasn't profitable back then, would your Qin family have taken me in?"
"I was adopted by your family, and my old house is gone. If there is no connection between them, no one would believe it."
Everyone just felt that Su Nanzhi's melons were revealed one after another. Before the previous melon was digested, another new melon came out.
Some people who were impatient had already started asking, "You are all surnamed Huang, Miss Huang, are you acquainted with Huang Baogui?"
"Don't tell me, not long after Nanzhi was adopted, Huang Baogui moved in."
"At that time, Huang Baogui said that he rented it."
"Didn't Huang Baogui say that the person renting the house wasn't in Zhoushan County? I haven't even seen the landlord come to clean up the yard."
…
Su Nanzhi was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that no one would connect Huang Xiumei and Huang Baogui.
This is also the reason why she did not reveal the relationship between Huang Baogui and the Qin family on the first day she came to the Su family's old house.
People will believe the facts they discover more than if she feeds them the truth.
Moreover, Huang Xiumei was not there at that time, so Huang Baogui could have just said that she was talking nonsense.
But since Huang Xiumei came to her door herself, she naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I feel like this woman looks more and more familiar. I think I've seen her at Huang Baogui's house before."
The person who was speaking was Honghua Sao, who lived opposite the Su family's old house. She had some conflicts with Huang Baogui, but she was a warm-hearted person and had a good relationship with people in Baihua Lane.
Hearing this, Liang Hongying also spoke at the right time, "Honghua, now that you mention it, I remember it was raining lightly that day, and I happened to be hiding from the rain at your door. As the rain got heavier, I hid behind the door with you. While we were chatting, I also saw Huang Xiumei enter Huang Baogui's house."
Now that the time, place, and people are there, Aunt Honghua is even more certain.
"Yes, I saw you at Huang Baogui's house. What is your relationship with Huang Baogui?"
Huang Xiumei thought she was being very secretive when she came to Huang Baogui's house, but she didn't expect someone to see her. She couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I just arrived in Zhoushan County today."
Su Nanzhi looked enlightened. "Both surnames are Huang? Huang Xiumei, is Huang Baogui the promising younger brother in the county you always mentioned?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Huang Xiumei.
Because Huang Xiumei was shabby and dressed in shabby clothes, people did not associate her with the fat and big-eared Huang Baogui.
After taking a look at each other, everyone found that Huang Xiumei and Huang Baogui looked very similar in their eyes and eyebrows.
"Don't tell me, Huang Xiumei and Huang Baogui look exactly alike."
"Where is Huang Baogui from?"
"If the two are really siblings, then Huang Baogui living in the Su family's old house is..."
Everyone immediately thought of the fact that Huang Baogui moved into the Su family's old house not long after Su Minglang's death. They had previously thought that this was a coincidence. If Huang Baogui was Huang Xiumei's younger brother, then the Huang family would be wiped out.
Huang Xiumei looked at the contemptuous eyes of the crowd and could no longer maintain her composure, and began to cry loudly.
"You county town people are bullying me, a country bumpkin."
"You didn't scold Su Nanzhi for having affairs with other men, but you are targeting an old woman like me."
"I won't live anymore."
…
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up. Although they didn't like Huang Xiumei, no one wanted to force her to death.
Especially since Su Nanzhi was forced to want to die by them that morning.
Su Nanzhi was a little surprised when she saw Huang Xiumei with a rogue look on her face.
People still need to be pushed. Didn’t Huang Xiumei, who used to care about her reputation the most, struggle in the dark just to make a living and made a fool of herself?
"Huang Xiumei, you were criticized last time. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
"But with your scoundrel face, you and Huang Baogui really look like a family."
After Su Nanzhi finished speaking, she looked at the figure not far away and shouted, "Director Huang, your sister is here. Why are you dawdling?"
Everyone followed her gaze and saw Huang Baogui sneaking around outside the crowd.
Huang Baogui didn't expect that Huang Xiumei would mess up such a simple thing. He glared at Huang Xiumei and then looked at Su Nanzhi, "Comrade Su, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."
Su Nanzhi didn't say anything because the people around her had already said everything she wanted to say.
Everyone just thought that Huang Baogui and Huang Xiumei looked a bit similar. Now that both of them are here, it can be said to be a live comparison.
"Huang Baogui and Huang Xiumei have exactly the same dead fish eyes."
"I think the nose is similar too."
"If you say there's no relationship between the two, it's better to say I'm Qin Shi Huang."
