Chapter 112 His head was broken
Zhang Jinzhi had already prepared a draft, thinking about how to act aggrieved and how to say that Xiuxiu was heartless and ungrateful when she went out.
She happily pushed open the door, but when she saw a group of people in the distance, her expression changed instantly, and she walked over with a sullen face.
The village's young wives glanced at Zhang Jinzhi, pursed their lips, and before Zhang Jinzhi could get close, they turned and scattered.
"Hey, where are you going?" Zhang Jinzhi looked at them in confusion and waved, but no one paid any attention to her.
What's going on? Zhang Jinzhi wrapped her headscarf back up, wondering to herself, and then turned and walked towards the village entrance where there were more people.
Several people passed by along the way, and Zhang Jinzhi wondered if it was just her imagination, but these people quickly turned their heads away when they saw her. When she greeted them, they just gave a perfunctory smile.
As soon as she walked away, she heard whispers behind her. She immediately turned around, and the young women gave her an awkward smile, pretending nothing had happened as they walked on.
After staying in the village for a while, Zhang Jinzhi's heart immediately skipped a beat. Someone had been talking badly about her, and the whole village knew about it. She was being gossiped about behind her back!
"Who dares to speak ill of me behind my back?" Zhang Jinzhi muttered to herself as she walked forward until she reached the edge of the village, where a group of people were surrounding someone.
"Really? My God, their family is actually like that?"
"I knew his wife had run away, but who would have thought it would turn out like this?"
"Trying to smear others? That's ridiculous!"
...
Listening to these words, Zhang Jinzhi was also puzzled. Who was this person? She walked closer and listened—
"Captain Li seems like a nice person, but I never expected his mother and brother to be like this!"
"No matter what, Xiuxiu shouldn't marry a disabled man. How could he still have designs on Xiuxiu?"
"How can you be so shameless?"
Isn't that talking about her? Zhang Jinzhi quickly went up to her and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
“Who said we’re talking nonsense?” Someone immediately stood up. This person was Dai Cuihua, Liu Aichun’s mother-in-law, and a very righteous person.
She stepped forward, pointed at Zhang Jinzhi, and cursed, "How your daughter-in-law left may not be known to others, but I know it all too well!"
"Your son beat your daughter-in-law so badly! Just because she's from out of town and her family can't support her, he bullies her like this!"
"Do you expect me to beat someone's wife to death if she doesn't run away? She left, and you're already spreading rumors that she ran off with someone else!"
“Li Jianguo’s wife and I were close. She would tell me everything back then! I know all about it! And he still wants to get married? Who would dare to marry him!”
"Did Liu Nian tell you to say that?!" Zhang Jinzhi was a shrew, the kind who had no sense of shame. She snorted, "You're framing me! It was clearly Xiuxiu who abandoned my son because he was disabled!"
"It's clearly your son who got married early, and the two of them never had a good relationship. Who are you trying to fool!"
"Anyone who believes you is an idiot!"
A group of onlookers nodded in agreement. Yes, they didn't believe it!
When Liu Nian and Zhang Suzhen arrived, Zhang Jinzhi and Dai Cuihua were pointing at each other and cursing.
Upon seeing that the two were Xiuxiu's relatives, everyone made way for them.
Liu Nian looked over with a cold face and chilling eyes, and Zhang Jinzhi swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
"Stop thinking about our Xiuxiu. No matter what, our Xiuxiu would never marry a disabled man." Liu Nian sneered. "Especially if she runs into a mother-in-law who torments her daughter-in-law, how could she possibly survive?"
That's true. Captain Li's wife stood at a distance, silent, but nodding in agreement. If it weren't for her husband protecting her, she probably would have been bullied to death by the old woman.
