Chapter 14: Exposing Wu Xiuyun's Plan
Lu Liangchen: "Wu Xiuyun, don't forget your son!"
When Wu Xiuyun heard Lu Liangchen mention Li Ergou, she remembered that he was her son's boss.
Is she in trouble?
It’s all the fault of that bitch Jiang Haitang. Jiang Haitang must not be allowed to leave Qingshuigou.
"Third Laizi, I betroth Jiang Haitang to you, and I don't want a penny of betrothal gift."
Sanlaizi was kicked to the ground by Lu Liangchen and rolled several times in pain. Before he could get up, he heard Wu Xiuyun's words.
He had an obscene smile on his wretched face and struggled to get up.
I didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
He brought his wife home and no one could say anything.
He hunched over and approached Jiang Haitang.
"Jiang Haitang, your mother-in-law has betrothed you to me. I'm not trying to steal you away. If you know what's good for you, follow me home and serve me well. I'll give you a bite to eat."
"Sanlaizi, don't listen to Wu Xiuyun's nonsense. She has no final say in Jiang Haitang's affairs." Zhao Zhijian spoke hurriedly.
Is Wu Xiuyun crazy? How dare you say that?
Wu Xiuyun lowered her eyes and a sinister smile crossed her lips.
This lowly bastard who was bought in exchange for ten pounds of beans still wants to leave the Li family!
The people around looked at Wu Xiuyun as if they had seen a poisonous snake.
Over the years, Jiang Haitang has been keeping an eye on the Li family. Without Jiang Haitang, this family would have broken up long ago.
Wu Xiuyun usually acts like a good mother-in-law, and they all think that Wu Xiuyun really loves Jiang Haitang.
Now it seems that they are all fake.
Others may not know who Sanlaizi is, but how could the people in their team not know him?
He is in his thirties. He was not a well-educated person since childhood and is extremely lazy. He used to rely on his mother for support.
His mother passed away two years ago, and Sanlaizi has been making a living by stealing and cheating.
As long as you don't starve to death, you should praise the country's system.
"Wu Xiuyun, are you planning to destroy Haitang?" Aunt Cai asked angrily, pointing at Wu Xiuyun's nose.
"I'm doing this for her own good. A divorced woman with no family, she can't be left without a place to go."
Wu Xiuyun sighed hypocritically and acted helpless.
"Don't you know who Sanlaizi is?" Aunt Cai continued to persuade.
"Haitang is divorced. Who would want her in a good family? If she follows Sanlaizi, at least she has a family, right?"
"San Laizi has all the limbs and arms he needs, but he doesn't have a woman to look after him. He'll naturally change for the better if he gets a wife."
Wu Xiuyun talked to herself in such a serious tone that she almost believed it herself.
But the people next to him are not fools either.
"Bah, if Sanlaizi can change for the better, I can go without food for three years." Someone sneered.
"I have a cousin from my mother's side. He's 23 this year. His wife died last year and he doesn't have any children. I think Haitang is a good fit."
A woman in her thirties next to her suddenly thought of something and smiled.
Wu Xiuyun waved her hands hurriedly: "Qinghe, Haitang is not a good person, you can't harm your cousin."
"Why is it not good? I think she looks good and is a good match for my cousin."
The more Xiao Qinghe read it, the more she felt that her idea was good, and she almost went back to her parents' home to tell them about it.
This is not Jiang Haitang’s first day living in the brigade. How could she not know what kind of people’s behavior is?
Wu Xiuyun had a frown on her face and couldn't stand Xiao Qinghe anymore.
Does this woman have to go against me?
Tian Jinghong, the women's director of the brigade, happened to hear these conversations and looked at Wu Xiuyun with disdain.
The kind-looking but evil-hearted paralytic was really blind to have taken care of her before.
In the future, I have to remind the women in the team to be more careful so as not to be harmed by her.
The third beggar smiled obscenely at Jiang Haitang. With Lu Liangchen protecting him, he was afraid of getting beaten and didn't dare to step forward, but he kept on pestering her.
"Jiang Haitang, come over here and serve your man. Go to work and earn money to support me. I won't hit you. This man can protect you for one day, but can he protect you for a lifetime?"
"Sanlaizi, you are not the only one in our team who has no wife. We can't let all the benefits be monopolized by you alone." Goushengzi came forward with his hands in his sleeves and said obscenely.
"This daughter-in-law of mine was given to me by Aunt Xiuyun. Why don't you ask her for one too?"
"Give me this wife. If I get anything good in the future, I'll give you half."
"I can't give it to you. If you're willing to pay me, I'll let you sleep with me. We can live together. My house is about to fall apart, so how about living at yours?"
Jiang Haitang listened to the two people's dirty talk, her cheeks flushed with anger, her hands and feet trembled slightly, and she wished she could die immediately.
"A beast who insults women deserves to be beaten to death."
Lu Liangchen's body was tense, his hands were clenched, and his joints were cracking.
Jiang Haitang's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the tall man with broad shoulders and narrow waist standing in front of her.
This was the first time since her father passed away that someone stood in front of her and protected her.
But if a fight really breaks out in the brigade, Director Lu will definitely suffer.
This is her business and she has to deal with it herself.
"Director Liu, please take Comrade Jiang Haitang to the car first. I'll follow."
Lu Liangchen was about to take action, but he couldn't bear to listen to the woman being insulted.
The villagers on the other side were also ready to rush forward at any time.
Liu Hongmei immediately pulled Jiang Haitang away, they couldn't stay and be held back.
"Director Lu is a retired soldier. You don't have to worry about him suffering any loss." Liu Hongmei seemed to know what Jiang Haitang was thinking and spoke to comfort him.
"If we stay, Director Lu will have to split his attention to take care of us."
Although she knew that Liu Hongmei was right, Jiang Haitang felt that she could not leave. She could not let Director Lu be in danger, nor could she let Director Lu bear the stigma of beating villagers.
She broke free from Liu Hongmei's hand and bowed to everyone present.
"I came to Qingshuigou when I was six years old. All the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law have watched me grow up. I will always remember the kindness you have shown me."
"Uncle Wang gave me life-saving ointment when I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and Aunt Zhao gave me bread when I was almost starving to death..."
"Li Ergou is dead. You guys feel sorry for me, a poor little cabbage, and you secretly help me with some chores in the fields. Only with your care can I support this family of ungrateful people."
"When I heard that Li Ergou was alive and married, I almost died. Fortunately, the government intervened for me and gave me the courage to start a new life."
"Originally, I thought that because of the friendship we've had over the years, I would not pursue the Li family's deception and bullying towards me and would just leave. But as you saw, they, mother and daughter, kept trying to sow discord between us."
"This Director Lu is a hero who walked back from the battlefield. If he was injured in Qingshuigou, would the higher-ups let him off so easily?"
"Wu Qiuyun is trying to sow discord between everyone and Yingxiong for Li Ergou's sake. He wants Qingshuigou to be the scapegoat for the Li family's sins!"
Jiang Haitang choked up and couldn't continue speaking.
But everyone understood the meaning of her words.
