I never thought that I would be caught in the act. It was so embarrassing.
Xu Zeqing, who was standing at the back of the crowd, watched the situation unfold to this point and said in a deep voice, "He's the village chief's son, but he has no ideological awareness at all. He's doing such a thief and a whore. It's so shameful!"
"Yeah, thank goodness there's no girl here, otherwise... it would be an eyesore!!"
…
Hearing the villagers start talking again, the village chief Zhao Huaishu could no longer hold back and hit Zhao Weiqiang with the stick in his hand. "You son of a bitch, what did I teach you? How could you do such a shameless thing?"
Zhao Huaishu felt heartbroken as he beat his son.
But, he had to fight: with so many people watching, he had to give an explanation.
He just hoped that because he hit so hard, the matter could be put behind him.
Although Zhao Weiqiang was having an affair, he was still a filial son. He endured the blows of a stick as thick as two fingers, leaving blood marks on his body.
However, Wu Xiu Lian next to her refused to do so.
She thought this was a good opportunity for her to show off, so she immediately threw herself on Zhao Weiqiang and yelled at the village chief, Zhao Huaishu, "Stop hitting him, stop hitting him. Brother Weiqiang and I are truly in love. We're not being hooligans. We're a serious couple. We just did that thing in advance. What's wrong with that?"
“You, you…”
Zhao Huaishu was almost driven to tears by Wu Xiu Lian's stupidity.
However, Wu Xiu Lian held Zhao Weiqiang in her arms, and Zhao Huaishu, a grown man, was not in a position to hit a woman, so he could only glare at the two people on the ground with hatred.
Xu Zeqing secretly laughed in his heart: This woman is so stupid.
"Oh, we're seriously dating, but why do I remember that the person Weiqiang is getting married with is Liu Zhiqing?"
"That's right, you shameless slut, you steal men and think it's your right, you have no shame!"
"Look at you two, if you want to be together, just do it openly. Why are you dragging Liu Zhiqing along? The wedding is almost here, and you're still sneaking out in the middle of the night to have sex. Aren't you ashamed?"
…
At this time, the women and servants who heard the noise rushed over. Each of them said something so loud that Wu Xiu Lian and Zhao Weiqiang couldn't even raise their faces. Even if Zhao Huaishu was the village chief, he couldn't control so many mouths.
The main reason is that Beishan Village is a village with mixed surnames. Each major surname in the village has its own backbone. There are many people who are dissatisfied with him being the village chief. If there is a chance to deal with him, who would let it go?
"Really? They're having affairs with men and women. The man is about to have a wedding, but he's still cheating on his wife. The woman likes to steal other people's men. If this gets out, our Beishan Village will have a bad reputation. Who will dare to marry a girl to our village in the future? How will the girls in our village get married?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked unhappy: a bad reputation of a village would indeed affect the marriage of young people in the entire village.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heated, Xu Zeqing immediately shouted, "Hey, don't just stand there and criticize them. This isn't just about the two of them. There's also that poor guy Liu Zhiqing involved."
"Yes, hurry up and call Liu Zhiqing over."
"It's time to call him over. We have to give an explanation to Liu Zhiqing about this matter, otherwise people will accuse us of bullying an intellectual like him."
…
While everyone was talking, Xu Zeqing's good brother Wang Li had already run out and knocked on Liu Ruyue's door.
Liu Ruyue didn't take off her clothes before going to bed, and she had already guessed that there would be a big fight tonight.
When he heard the knock on the door, he wiped his face with ginger juice, put on a loose military coat, and followed Wang Li to the village office.
Along the way, Wang Li was worried about hurting the weak little woman Liu Zhiqing, so he didn't dare to tell her what happened in the village office.
So, when Liu Ruyue arrived, she looked at the village chief standing in the crowd with a puzzled look on her face and shouted, "Uncle Huaishu, what's going on so late at night? I stayed up late last night making shoes for you and Auntie. I went to bed quite late. Did you miss anything?"
"Oh, my poor Liu Zhiqing, you worked so hard with a kerosene lamp to make shoes for your future parents-in-law, but you didn't know that your man had been snatched away by someone else!"
At Li Fuqiang's suggestion, the aunt from the Li family spoke first.
Liu Ruyue was shocked and asked nervously, "Weiqiang was robbed? By whom? He wasn't hurt, was he?"
A series of questions showed Liu Ruyue's concern for her fiancé.
The aunt who had just spoken couldn't help but continue, "Oh, Liu Zhiqing, it wasn't your things that were stolen, it was your virginity that was stolen. Your partner didn't sleep at night and ran to the village office to make out with Wu Xiulian."
"Liu Zhiqing, you have no idea how shameless these two are. When we came in just now, they were both naked, hugging each other and biting each other."
"I heard that the two of them have been sleeping together for over a month. They're treating Liu Zhiqing like a fool!"
…
The villagers were talking at once, their eyes shining: make it bigger, make it bigger, this must be a big fuss, so that when we visit relatives during the first month of the lunar year, we can sit at the main table and brag to our relatives and friends about the adultery we caught tonight.
Liu Ruyue listened to what everyone was saying and followed their gaze. She saw Wu Xiu Lian and Zhao Weiqiang hugging each other tightly on the ground. Her face turned pale instantly and she was shaking.
Fortunately, the aunt next to him was quick-witted and grabbed the person before Xu Zeqing could make a move.
"You, you two have been hooking up for a long time?"
Pointing at the two people on the ground, Liu Ruyue asked with a trembling voice, heartbroken.
Wu Xiulian thought that since she had been caught, she might as well take this opportunity to cancel the engagement. She raised her head and said to Liu Ruyue:
"Yes, we slept together more than a month ago. Brother Weiqiang likes me and doesn't like you at all. Don't think I'm the mistress. In a relationship, the one who is not liked is the mistress. Brother Weiqiang and I are truly in love. If you really care about Brother Weiqiang, you should cancel the engagement and help us!"
As soon as Wu Xiu Lian said this, everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety: they had underestimated Wu Xiu Lian's shamelessness just now.
Liu Ruyue secretly thanked her opponent for the assist and continued to act out the pain of the victim: "So, yesterday you told me that Weiqiang fell into the water, and I followed you to the lake, and you pushed me into the water. Did you want to kill me and marry Weiqiang?"
After Liu Ruyue finished speaking, she raised her head and gave an apologetic smile to the aunts she had chatted with during the day. "Second Aunt, I didn't mean to lie that day. I just thought it was too vicious for a girl like her to push someone into the water, and I didn't want to ruin her reputation by telling her, so I kept it a secret."
After these words were spoken, the aunts during the day would no longer blame Liu Ruyue for telling lies. They would only think that she was gentle and kind.
"No, I didn't!"
Wu Xiu Lian had no intention of killing Liu Ruyue, so naturally she didn't want to be branded as a murderer.
However, Liu Ruyue ignored her. She turned around, staring at Zhao Weiqiang with red eyes, and asked inconsolably: "So, last night you took people to the lake and were disappointed that you didn't find my body, so you came here to scold me?
So, as the person I'm about to marry, you and another woman conspired to kill me?"
