Chapter 17: Clearing Up (I)



Chen Yue quickly dodged between Chen Chun and Chen Hua, and after getting a layer of protection, she poked her head out and said unconfidently: "I... how could I make up a rumor?"

But Chen Kuo has been away for three years and hasn't returned home. If not, he must have found someone else outside. Now that he has a child, Gu Zhenqi is just a widow.

Besides, isn't this an obvious thing? Do I need to say it? Everyone thinks the same way. Why do you hit me? "

Chen Yue felt a burning pain on her face. She instantly thought of the beatings she had suffered from Gu Zhenqi since she entered the house, and she felt as if her breath was blocked and she felt uncomfortable.

He thought to himself that he couldn't suffer a loss or get beaten in vain, and he really wanted to rush up and slap Gu Zhenqi a few times, but due to Wang Guiying's authority, he didn't dare to do anything!

She gnashed her teeth in hatred and muttered, "Gu Zhenqi, you bitch, just wait for me, you will suffer sooner or later, I will take revenge double and beat you until you are covered in claws and claws and crawl like a dog!"

"Mom, we're back!"

Accompanied by a deep male voice, the brothers Chen Guo and Chen Qiang, according to their mother's instructions, invited all the people back.

Wang Guiying hurried forward and greeted everyone with embarrassment and shame: "It is such a misfortune for our family that we have to trouble everyone to come here in the dark at night!"

The team leader, as the representative of everyone, responded: "Auntie Wang, what are you saying? We all live in the same village. We know each other every day. We all help each other when we have problems. I wonder why Auntie Wang called us here?"

Wang Guiying first turned around and glared at Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue, then sighed heavily and said helplessly: "I am really ashamed to say that I gave birth to three unfilial daughters who came back to their parents' home every day to beg for money. My daughter-in-law and I turned a blind eye and indulged them. Who knew that three ungrateful and debt-collecting ghosts would emerge? Now, this is what happened..."

Wang Guiying began to tell the villagers what happened tonight based on facts. However, in the process of telling the story, she skillfully weakened Gu Zhenqi's series of violent behaviors and basically attributed the fault to the three sisters Chen Chun, Chen Hua and Chen Yue.

The three of them stood aside, huddled like ostriches with their heads buried low. They were timid in nature towards outsiders and relied on the fact that the Chen family would not embarrass them, fight back or hurt them, so they only dared to show off their abilities against the Chen family.

He is the type of person who can't say a word in front of outsiders, but when he gets home and faces his loving family, he immediately gets all barbed and specifically pricks those family members who are good to him.

In Gu Zhenqi's eyes, the three sisters-in-law were cowardly and stupid. Idiots knew better than them what was good and what was bad, and knew how to be grateful. As for them...

In short, it's really hard to describe, it's so infuriating, so every time I hear about how badly they are living in their husband's family, and how they are bullied.

Gu Zhenqi felt that he deserved it, he couldn't tell right from wrong, it was all his own fault!

Wang Guiying finished her story as everyone was thinking about their own things. Before the villagers could express their opinions, Wang Guiying turned around and picked up the previous notebook.

Standing in front of everyone, his expression was very serious: "Today, I want to have a clear account with the three sisters in front of everyone!"

"I hope the captain and fellow villagers will be fair. It's getting late, and I don't want to take up too much of your time. I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow morning, so I'll get started right away!"

Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue wanted to step forward to stop them. They knew clearly that if they continued, things would definitely get out of hand, and they would not have a good time when they returned to their husband's family.

Gu Zhenqi, who saw the intentions of the three people, naturally would not give them the opportunity they wanted. Rotten things must be completely removed from the root.

She wasn't sad and didn't care before, so naturally she didn't care!

Now that she is reborn, she wants to live a good and down-to-earth life in the Chen family, raise her children well, wait wholeheartedly for Chen Kuo to come home, and make great strides in her career in two years!

People like Chen Chun, Chen Hua and Chen Yue, who are troublesome and disturb her peaceful life, should be dealt with as soon as possible!

Gu Zhenqi stepped forward and blocked the way of the three of them.

Wang Guiying has already opened the notebook and started to tell the villagers all the twists and turns of the story.

"The year Chen Chun got married, it was a disaster year. The whole country was in a great famine. All the old people in the village knew that at that time, two or three old people and children starved to death every month. They were so poor that they couldn't even afford a tattered straw mat. They just dug a hole and buried them!"

"At that time, our family had been out of food for three or four days, and the whole family had to drink cold water to keep themselves from starving. A matchmaker happened to come to our house, and I thought at the time, it would be better for Chen Chun to find a family with food to eat than to let him starve to death with us!"

"She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to stand. If she didn't eat, she wouldn't last two days. As a mother, how can I not feel sorry for my child? I felt so sad when she made such a decision. In order to survive, there was really no other way!"

"Who would have thought that this would become the evil I planted in Chen Chun's heart. Over the years, she has been saying that the Chen family owes her money, and she always gives big and small bags to her husband's family!"

The old man in the village who was called over couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Chen Chun, you are really wronging your mother. In those days, every family went through the same thing. My daughter took the initiative to get married in exchange for a chance to survive. How can you be so ignorant?"

"It's perfectly normal. If you hadn't gotten married, you would have starved to death a long time ago. What's so strange about that? You should thank your mother for finding a chance for you to survive. That's why you can stand here alive today!"

"Survival was the most important thing back then. There was no need to be so particular. Every family went through this. You are so proud of it, but now you are blaming your mother for it. You really don't know what's good for you. You were not the only one who got married in the village back then, and I have never seen anyone complain about their mother!"

There has always been no shortage of people in the village who like to gossip about family matters and argue about right and wrong. Li Mei is one of the most common people in the village. She is a unique figure among the younger generation of women in the village. She likes gossip and loves to gather together to chat about family matters.

But...

She has her own choices, which are always based on facts and reasons. What she says is always to the point. She has a rare temper with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes.

Li Mei interjected at the right time to express her own opinion: "It's very simple. If she doesn't find a tenable excuse, how can she openly go back to her parents' home again and again to beg for money, emptying her mother's pocket to fill her husband's family!"

"It's really unfortunate to have a daughter like this, and three of them at the same time. Who can bear it?"

Li Mei continued, "Who says it's not true? It is said that daughters are the sweet cotton-padded jackets of their parents. People like Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue are probably filled with black-hearted cotton."

"Ha ha……"

Li Mei's words made the people around her laugh at the same time, and they agreed with her idea while laughing.

"You are such a clever talker, you always hit the nail on the head, it's so true, why didn't I think of it."

"No need to think too much, it is undoubtedly black-hearted cotton!"

"They are lucky to have such a good family like the Chen family. If it were our family, I would beat them out with a big stick. A daughter who is married off is like water poured out.

These days, every family is living in poverty. There is not a grain of surplus food, so how can there be any left to fill their bottomless pit? And there are three families at once! "

"It seems that the Chen family has had a hard time these past few years due to their persecution."

Wang Guiying listened to every word of everyone's discussion. Thinking about the sadness of the past few years, her eyes suddenly became red: "In fact, in the past few years, our family..."
