Su Man covered Zhou Anan's eyes to prevent him from coming forward, took off her coat and threw it to Qin Wanru. Looking at Qin Wanru running away, Su Man shook her head.
Qin Wan's behavior seemed to be an accident, but in fact it was foreshadowed.
When they just returned to the village, Zhang Fengxi and Uncle Wang had a big fight over Qin Wanru.
Uncle Wang is lazy and likes to eat. Zhang Fengxi takes care of everything at home and outside. Not only does Uncle Wang not help, he even steals money from the family to make new clothes for Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru knew what Fourth Uncle Wang was thinking, but she still accepted everything Zhang Fengxi earned from farming and laundry.
She looked down on these villagers, but enjoyed their "offerings" with peace of mind.
She felt that these were just little gadgets, and since Fourth Uncle Wang had given them to her willingly, there was nothing wrong with taking them.
Not only that, when Zhang Fengxi came to her to ask for the gift from Wang Lao Si, she was sarcastic and said that she was going to be an official's wife and looked down on these villagers. Besides, Wang Si was her elder, and the gift from the elder must be out of care for the younger generation, so how could she not accept it?
Qin Wanru's words left Zhang Fengxi speechless, but those high-sounding reasons could deceive others but not herself.
Everything that comes for free has a hidden price tag.
It started with just a few nice words, then slowly turned into physical physical contact, and then slowly, it became about selling out one's body and soul.
What really destroys a person is never a visible crisis, but a frog boiled in warm water.
Little do they know that once they enter that basin of seemingly harmless water, they will be stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves.
It is true that Wang Laosi is a beast, but if he keeps company with wolves for such a long time, something bad will happen.
It’s a pity that neither Widow Song nor Qin Mosheng reminded Qin Wanru of this.
...
Wang Laosi was beaten half to death. If the village chief had not stopped him, Zhang Fengxi would have beaten him to death.
Zhang Fengxi cried while being beaten. Even though she was strong, she was still a woman after all.
She could tolerate her husband's laziness and his using the family's belongings to please another woman, but she could not tolerate such an ugly thing.
She wiped away her tears, dropped the shovel, and shouted, "From today on, I, Zhang Fengxi, am no longer Wang Laosi's wife. From now on, I will live alone!"
After saying that, Zhang Fengxi left Wang Laosi alone and walked away.
The village chief had no choice but to find two people to carry Wang Laosi back.
At that time, Zhang Fengxi said there was a wild beast, so Widow Song and Qin Mosheng hid and did not go out. They only found out what had happened when they came back.
The angry Widow Song rushed towards Zhang Fengxi with her teeth bared.
"Your man raped my daughter, what are you going to pay for it?"
Zhang Fengxi was also furious. She kicked Wang Laosi, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Go find whoever bullied your daughter. Kill him or chop him up, I don't care."
Wang Laosi was terrified. He grabbed Zhang Fengxi's ankle and begged, "Wife, you can't just ignore me. She came to me in the middle of the night and seduced me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Widow Song said in a shrill voice, "My daughter is pure and innocent, how could she possibly seduce you!"
"She was the one who came looking for me. She asked me for food! If she hadn't come looking for me, why would she be willing to go with me in the middle of the night?"
Every word Wang Laosi said made sense, and the surrounding villagers were also talking about it.
"Didn't Wang Laosi steal the family's money to make clothes for Qin Wanru before?"
"Yes, I even saw Wang Laosi giving her jewelry."
"It's not just Wang Laosi. Didn't Aunt Cuihua's husband also deliver bags of food when he was in the village?"
"Tsk tsk, Widow Song brags every day about her daughter's three obediences and four virtues, and how she behaves like a lady from a noble family. But that's all she does."
"Don't flatter them. What kind of lady from a noble family would behave like this?"
Rumors are scary, and everyone saw what Qin Wanru did before, so gossip is inevitable.
Widow Song wanted to make a fuss, but Qin Wanru couldn't stand it anymore. She was a virgin, and being seen naked by so many people made her so ashamed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide.
"Mom, Wanru wants to hang herself!" Qin Mosheng said hurriedly.
"What!"
Widow Song was frightened and didn't care about the quarrel. She ran back to see Qin Wanru.
Qin Wanru tied the hemp rope to the tree and was about to put her neck in it.
Widow Song hugged her waist tightly, "Wanru! You can't let this go!"
"Mom, please let me go! I can't live with this humiliation. Please let me die!"
"Wanru! It's better to live a miserable life than to die. Come down first, and we can talk slowly!"
"To live, what's the point of living?"
"Wanru, please have pity on me. You are my only daughter. If you die, how will I live?"
Finally, Qin Wanru was persuaded by Widow Song and loosened the rope, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Qin Mosheng, who was standing aside, didn't say a word from beginning to end. He felt that he had suffered no less humiliation than Qin Wanru in this matter.
Qin Wanru's incident made him a laughing stock in the whole village. If this matter got out, when he became an official in the court, how could the important officials know about it and marry him their daughter to him?
Besides, the top scholar has a chance to marry the princess, and it would be a disgrace to the princess if he had such a woman of bad reputation in his family.
If Qin Wanru had listened to him and married Wang Yongchang earlier, all these troubles would not have happened.
Now that things have gotten to this point, I don’t know if Wang Yongchang’s family will still want her.
Qin Mosheng turned his gaze to the sobbing Qin Wanru. He coughed lightly and said, "Sister, since it has already happened, there is no point in complaining about it. The most important thing for a girl is to find a good home. Although mother and I both hope that you can marry into a wealthy family, after something like this, I'm afraid it's hopeless. It would be better for you to marry Wang Yongchang and live a simple life than to be helpless for the rest of your life."
