Lin Chaosheng carried the woman down the mountain, and then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked her name yet.
"By the way, young lady, what's your name?" Lin Chaosheng asked.
The woman then realized that she hadn't told her savior her name, and her face flushed red.
"My name is Su Hang," the woman said shyly.
"Su Hang, what a beautiful name," Lin Chaosheng couldn't help but praise upon hearing it.
Su Hang's face flushed red instantly, and he didn't know what to say.
When Lin Chaosheng saw that she didn't respond, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was anxious to say something, afraid that she would think he was frivolous.
But even though he was a grown man, he couldn't think of anything to say, so he remained silent.
The two maintained this eerie atmosphere until they arrived at the village.
The moment Lin Chaosheng saw the village entrance, he felt saved and quickly said to Su Hang, "Look, that's our village up ahead."
Su Hang looked up into the distance and saw the pointed tips of many houses gradually emerging.
"Hey, Chaosheng, who's this?"
"Is he planning to take a second wife after building a new house?"
"So what if someone takes a second wife? It just means he's capable!"
The moment the gossipy woman at the village entrance saw Lin Chaosheng carrying a woman on his back, she immediately began to mock him.
They were worried that Lin Chaosheng didn't have any dirt on him to tell them, but now they've got some big news.
Lin Chaosheng felt a pang of annoyance, inwardly complaining about how he had forgotten about this group of gossipy old fogies.
He thought for a moment and finally managed to say, "Hey, Su Hang, don't pay any attention to what they're saying. They're just gossiping all day long."
Su Hang was already disheartened because she had overheard the old women talking about "taking a second wife," and when she suddenly heard Lin Chaosheng say these things to her, she immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.
"It's alright, it's alright. I don't know them anyway, so whatever they say has nothing to do with me," Su Hang quickly reassured her.
Lin Chaosheng sighed and said, "I'm really sorry to have made you suffer like this. I'll take you to my house and then I'll come out and explain things to them right away."
Su Hang didn't really want him to explain things to those people, but she really couldn't bring herself to destroy someone else's family, especially since they were her saviors.
So she whispered, "Thank you."
Lin Chaosheng was completely oblivious to Su Hang's disappointment. He even thought Su Hang was a very generous person and happily walked home.
As soon as they entered, the workers who were eating were all stunned.
"Who...who is this, Brother Lin?"
"Why does he look so unfamiliar? Have you seen him before?"
"What kind of question is that? Where have I ever seen anything like it?"
The crowd started discussing it amongst themselves.
Su Hang lowered her head even further, her face already as red as a boiled shrimp.
Zhao Shufang was eating when she heard everyone talking about someone, so she quickly turned around to look.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it—
His eldest son actually brought a young girl home!
Zhao Shufang thought Lin Chaosheng had turned into a hooligan again, and angrily put down her bowl and chopsticks, rushed over and grabbed Lin Chaosheng's ear.
"Damn it, having one wife isn't enough, you have to bring another one home? And now you've brought her back, who are you trying to provoke, you bastard?" Zhao Shufang pinched Lin Chaosheng's ear tightly, as if she wanted to tear it off completely.
Lin Chao cried out in pain, "Mother! Mother! Wait a minute, let me explain! Let me put this girl down first!"
Zhao Shufang was not about to agree; she was determined to teach Lin Chaosheng a lesson first, so that he would know that his crimes were unforgivable.
Just as Zhao Shufang was about to slap Lin Chaosheng across the face, she heard a voice say, "Don't hit me, Mother."
Then Zhao Shufang turned around and saw Liang Fu helping Liang Mei out.
Liang Mei's face was streaked with tears, her eyes were red, and she was trembling with anger.
Lin Chaosheng was shocked. This was it!
I had originally planned to explain things to Liang Mei first, hoping to calm her down, but Liang Mei saw it first.
I still see him carrying this young woman on his back.
Anyone who didn't know the truth would be furious if they saw this.
Seeing Liang Mei's tears flowing continuously, everyone felt pity for her and couldn't eat.
Lin Shansheng quickly stepped forward to comfort Liang Mei: "Sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding here. Let me explain first."
After saying that, she hurriedly moved closer to him, "Brother, really, what's going on here? You're making your wife..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Mei turned and went into the house.
"Sister!" Liang Fu hurriedly chased after him, not forgetting to turn back and glare fiercely at Lin Chaosheng.
Lin Chaosheng hurriedly called out, "Xiaomei, let me explain!"
Then he quickly turned around, found a stool, and put Su Hang down. "I'm sorry, please sit here first."
"Mother, this is a girl I just rescued on the mountain. Please take a look at her leg injury!" Lin Chaosheng said to Zhao Shufang as he ran into the house.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shufang quickly lifted Su Hang's leg and exclaimed in surprise, "My God! It's so swollen!"
"Quickly, get a wet towel!" Zhao Shufang shouted to Lin Shansheng.
Lin Shansheng quickly turned around to draw water from the well, and then soaked a towel in it.
Inside the house, Lin Chaosheng squatted on the ground and said, "Xiaomei, listen to me, things are really not what you think!"
Liang Fu angrily accused, "Isn't this what we thought? People are crawling on your back!"
Liang Mei grasped Liang Fu's hand. "Alright, Xiao Fu, you go out first. I'll talk to Chao Sheng."
“Sister…” Liang Fu muttered.
"Be good, listen to me," Liang Mei weakly urged Liang Fu.
Liang Fu sighed helplessly, turned around and went out.
“I swear to God,” Lin Chaosheng held up four fingers, “that really was the girl I just rescued from that cliff! If I have been disloyal to you in the slightest, may I be struck by lightning!”
Liang Mei covered Lin Chaosheng's mouth, "I believe you, don't curse yourself like that!"
Lin Chaosheng grabbed Liang Mei's hand, "Xiao Mei, you're so good to me. I really mean it, I will definitely make sure you live a good life!"
Liang Mei's eyes were glistening with tears; her heart was filled with complex emotions.
Although she believed Lin Chaosheng, she still felt somewhat distressed to see her husband cheating on her with another woman.
At this moment, Su Hang, who was sitting in the courtyard, had her legs covered with a wet towel by Zhao Shufang. She kept glancing into the house, feeling uneasy.
After hesitating for a while, she decided to go in and talk to Lin Chaosheng's wife. Even though she was in a lot of pain, she couldn't bring herself to ruin someone else's relationship.
"Thank you, ma'am, but may I go in and talk to that lady now?" Su Hang asked cautiously.
