Chapter 42: Condemnation



Women are all gossips. Wang Biyun spoke so loudly. It doesn’t matter if he is a man, but if it brings shame to Yunxiang’s reputation, he will be killed!

"Bullshit! What are you talking about in front of my house?" Zhao Qingshan's loud voice rang out from the room, and then he rushed into the yard.

Just now, when Wang Biyun came to the Zhao family and knocked on the door, Zhao Qingshan was in the bathroom. Wang Biyun didn't see Zhao Qingshan in the yard and thought he had gone out. If she knew Zhao Qingshan was at home, she wouldn't dare to stand there at the Zhao family's door even if she had the courage of a tiger.

Zhao Qingshan had a bad temper, but he also held high prestige in Zhaojiagou. He was a government-honored war hero, and now served as Party Secretary of Zhaojiagou Village. None of the dozens of households in Zhaojiagou dared to act pretentiously in his presence.

Zhao Yunxiang was also shocked by Wang Biyun's words.

If Wang Biyun hadn't said it herself, Zhao Yunxiang would not have known when she had become hated by Wang Biyun. Before both of them got married, Wang Biyun had always been by Zhao Yunxiang's side, calling her "Sister Yunxiang" all the time.

By the way, Wang Biyun had mentioned this to Zhao Yunxiang once, asking her to set her up with Wen Yulun. Zhao Yunxiang knew Wen Yulun's family background and would definitely not do such a foolish thing. Was it because of that incident that Wang Biyun hated herself?

Zhao Yunxiang felt both amused and helpless.

Wen Yulun's family background was good, but his family was also picky. When Zhao Qingshan and Wen's father had agreed on the marriage between Zhao Yunxiang and Wen Yulun, it was disrupted by Wen Yulun and his mother. Wang Biyun herself was not outstanding at all, so how could she have caught the eyes of the Wen family?

Zhao Yunxiang had originally tacitly agreed to the marriage arranged by Zhao Qingshan, but after Wen Yulun objected, the two families broke off the engagement. Then, Wen Yulun said he wanted to renew the engagement, but Zhao Yunxiang refused.

Zhao Yunxiang was a determined person. After knowing that Wen's mother disliked her, how could she possibly bump into him again? Besides, Wen Yulun himself proposed to cancel the engagement. It's not like Zhao Yunxiang couldn't get married, so why did she have to marry him?

Zhao Qingshan looked at his daughter, Zhao Yunxiang, who stood there in the yard, stunned. His anger was boiling. If he hadn't heard Tiezhu's wife's attitude towards Yunxiang today, he would have thought that Tiezhu's wife was Yunxiang's trusted friend.

Zhao Qingshan, whose daughter lost her mother at a young age, had always been friendly with Zhao Yunxiang's playmates. He was busy with work, and Guohui, being a boy, wasn't as attentive. Zhao Qingshan was always happy to see his daughter, Zhao Yunxiang, make more friends.

Zhao Qingshan knew that Wang Biyun had been eating and taking things from the Zhao family before, but he thought that Wang Biyun was his daughter's good friend. Since she relieved Yunxiang's boredom and his family had enough food, he turned a blind eye to it.

I never thought Zhao Qingshan would give up so much rice and grain, only to feed an ungrateful person like Wang Biyun. Listen to what she said? Yunxiang seduced Yulun? Yunxiang didn't help Wang Biyun and Yulun get together? Pah! Did she really think she was a fairy from heaven? How could Yulun, such a good young man, marry a woman like Wang Biyun?

When Zhao Qingshan reached the gate of the courtyard, Wen Yulun had already opened it. A few women who were watching the excitement outside saw Zhao Qingshan and started chattering.

"Huh? Didn't Tiezhu say the old secretary wasn't home?" Old Shitou's wife, Aunt Jinhua, curled her lips, gave Wang Biyun a disdainful look, and said, "Tiezhu, are you blind? You can't let the old secretary, such a grown man, be seen by you?"

Aunt Jinhua and several other women had been washing clothes by the stream when they were drawn over by Wang Biyun's shouting. Zhao Yunxiang had been living with her parents for almost a month, and given the rumors Wang Biyun had spread in the village, the women in Zhaojiagou were skeptical of the claim that Zhao Yunxiang had truly fallen out with her in-laws.

Wang Biyun was standing on the side of the road shouting things like "hooking up" and "single men and single women". Several women who were washing clothes couldn't help it, so they put down their work and ran to Wang Biyun to watch the fun.

In rural areas, where there is usually no entertainment, women are always the most interested in any romantic news. Firstly, they can watch the fun, and secondly, they can have more topics to talk about during conversations, making themselves look knowledgeable.

Zhao Qingshan held a high reputation in Zhaojiagou, and Zhao Yunxiang also enjoyed a good reputation in the village. Over the years, the Zhao family had never been the subject of any negative rumors. Now that Wang Biyun had taken the lead, the onlookers were sure to follow. Regardless of whether it was true or not, bragging to the girls later would count it as "personal experience."

Watching the fun is one thing, but no one wants to get into trouble just for watching the fun.

Seeing Zhao Qingshan's face as black as ink, Aunt Jinhua had to say something. Otherwise, what if Zhao Qingshan thought she followed Wang Biyun to cause trouble? Wouldn't that be unfair? Her son Shitou's job guarding the brigade warehouse was a full ten-centimeter job a day, and it was Zhao Qingshan who arranged it!

As soon as Aunt Jinhua started talking, Sister Yulan beside her also spoke up: "Has the Tiezhu family gone insane? A few days ago, she was washing clothes by the stream and making fun of Sister Yunxiang! Sister Yunxiang was so good to her. I heard that if it weren't for Sister Yunxiang's help, one or two people in her Wang family might have starved to death. Who in their right mind would throw dirty water on their benefactor?"

Sister Yulan was the young wife who had challenged Wang Biyun by the stream that day. She was a smart woman, and she knew that after Wang Biyun's outburst today, the Zhao family would definitely turn against her. The old accountant in Zhaojiagou was about to retire, and Yulan's husband, Baoping, wanted to be an accountant next year, but he still needed Qingshanbo's approval!

"Uncle Qingshan, you... you... why are you at home?" Ever since Zhao Qingshan yelled, "Bullshit!", Wang Biyun was dumbfounded. She really thought Zhao Qingshan had gone out, otherwise, how could she dare to throw dirty water on Zhao Yunxiang? Everyone in Zhaojiagou didn't know that Zhao Qingshan loved his two children, and he valued them more than his own life.

Also, when did she get so many women around her, watching the fun? Hadn't everyone overheard her confession to Yulun just now? Oh no, if Tiezhu knew about this, he would definitely beat her so hard she wouldn't be able to get out of bed for days.

Wang Biyun was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"You damn bitch, why don't you do anything serious and come here to talk nonsense? I'll beat you half to death when I get back!" What you fear will come true. Wang Biyun was worried that Tiezhu would find out when Gu Tiezhu appeared.

With a "slap", Gu Tiezhu raised his hand and slapped Wang Biyun, then turned to Zhao Qingshan and said, "Uncle Qingshan, my wife is not thinking straight. Don't be angry, uncle. Wait until I go back and beat her up, and she will wake up."
