Chapter Sixty-Two: Your possessiveness is quite strong!
Zhong Jingui burst into tears, waving her hands repeatedly, "I didn't! I didn't!"
Zhang Chunxue gave her a cold glance: "No? Why are you being sarcastic towards me? What's wrong with Secretary Song coming to my house for a meal? Is it a crime for me to cook for him? You really have a heart that sees everything as dirty!"
"It's because you couldn't win her over before, and you can't let go of her. Now you're going crazy just because she talks to me a few words. If you're going to be crazy, go home and be crazy. Don't throw a tantrum in front of me!"
As more and more people gathered around, Zhong Jingui finally couldn't bring herself to do it, and ran away sobbing, covering her face.
Zhang Chunxue then gave a soft snort and carried her things back home.
Selling braised pork offal requires a large stove to maintain its temperature, so as soon as Zhang Chunxue arrived home, she went to Grandpa Liu's house in the village.
Grandpa Liu is a master at repairing stoves. Any stove he repairs will burn brightly and won't crack. It can be passed down for generations without any problems.
As soon as Zhang Chunxue reached the west side of the village, she saw Zhong Jingui's man leading several of his brothers, marching menacingly toward Zhong Jingui's parents' home.
Zhang Chunxue realized that Wang Anguo had probably heard about what happened in town today, so he came to cause trouble for Zhong Jingui.
She couldn't miss this excitement, so she didn't even bother looking for Grandpa Liu and immediately followed them.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Anguo arrived at Zhong Jingui's parents' house, he immediately roared, "Zhong Jingui! Get out here right now!"
Zhong Jingui was at home hating Zhang Chunxue when she heard Wang Anguo's voice. She panicked and cautiously moved out.
"An, Anguo? What brings you here?"
"Why am I here?" Wang Anguo sneered, grabbed a broom from the side and started hitting me repeatedly. "Why am I here? You tell me why I am here? Don't you know what shameful things you've done?"
Caught off guard, Zhong Jingui quickly dodged to the side, crying out, "I didn't! They're framing me!"
Zhang Chunxue stood outside the crowd and said leisurely, "If you haven't done anything wrong, who could frame you? When you stood at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and cursed me, you said I was seducing men. How come you're the one being framed now?"
Wang Anguo was even more furious upon hearing this: "You're still insulting Zhang Chunxue? It's her business if she's a widow and wants to remarry. You're a married woman, yet you're still gossiping about her. Where's your shame?"
He grew angrier as he spoke: "I only found out today that you were still thinking about how they sent the clerk off! You said you came back to see your mother, but it turns out you came back to meet your lover, didn't you?"
When Zhang Chunxue heard Wang Anguo say this, she realized something was wrong; it seemed the flames were about to burn Song Xingzhi!
She quickly stepped forward and said, "Wang Anguo, stop calling him an adulterer!"
"Ask the people in our village if Secretary Song has ever paid any attention to Zhong Jingui."
"Your wife is the one who's causing trouble, don't just pin the blame on other people! Secretary Song is completely innocent!"
Several young wives and older women who were close to Zhong Jingui quickly offered their explanations.
"Secretary Song is known throughout our village for her integrity and moral character; she's still single!"
"That's right! A person like Secretary Song is not someone Zhong Jingui can possibly befriend!"
An older woman who had been enjoying the cool evening air with Zhong Jingui last night quickly chimed in, "Anguo, Jingui and Secretary Song really have nothing going on! Yesterday, Secretary Song ran into us when he came out of Sister Chunxue's house, and he didn't even glance at Jingui..."
While Zhong Jingui was being beaten, she was also being subjected to hurtful words. Tears streamed down her face and blood flowed from her heart.
Wang Anguo's face was as black as water. Although he didn't say anything more about the adulterer, he grabbed Zhong Jingui's hair and slapped her several times.
"You slut! You're just too restless!"
Zhong Jingui's face was swollen, and she couldn't help but cry out, "Zhang Chunxue, you're talking nonsense! You've ruined my reputation!"
"I didn't! I really didn't!"
Zhang Chunxue stood to the side with her arms crossed: "You ruined your own reputation, what does it have to do with me? All those words that came out of your mouth were your own, who held a knife to your throat?"
"You were at the supply and marketing cooperative gate today, saying that I shouldn't have seduced Song Xingzhi... I almost thought Song Xingzhi was your man!"
“Secretary Song doesn’t even give you a second glance, yet you’re quite possessive!”
Seeing Wang Anguo's increasingly dark face, Zhang Chunxue continued to fan the flames: "You're married but still have designs on Secretary Song. Secretary Song is the one who's been wronged to death, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Anguo was furious and pinned Zhong Jingui to the ground, giving her a thorough beating.
Other villagers tried to stop them, but were stopped by Wang Anguo's brothers and sisters-in-law.
The courtyard was filled with deafening cries.
Song Xingzhi and several leaders from the brigade headquarters also rushed over.
He happened to hear Zhang Chunxue's words, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing the scene in the yard, the brigade leader shouted in a gruff voice, "What are you doing?! Stop it, all of you!"
Wang Anguo only let go when he saw the people from the brigade headquarters arrive.
Zhong Jingui sat on the ground, her hair disheveled, and wailed loudly.
She saw Song Xingzhi standing not far away, and thinking about her current state, she felt extremely ashamed and couldn't help but cry even harder.
Village chief Zhong Aiguo couldn't help but reprimand Wang Anguo: "If a couple has a conflict, they should resolve it properly. How could you resort to violence! Look at the state you've left your wife!"
Wang Anguo was still somewhat intimidated in front of them, and his voice became much softer: "It's not, it's not Zhong Jingui, that woman, she's restless..."
"Unruly? How are you unruly?" Zhong Aiguo cursed. "You come all the way to our village to beat up wives, don't you think you have any respect for me as the village chief?"
The captain then shouted again, "You just start attacking without warning! Wang Anguo, who do you think you are!"
"No, I didn't..." Wang Anguo panicked a bit. He glanced at the others, his gaze lingering on Song Xingzhi's face for a few seconds before he spoke with some humiliation, "It's...it's my wife who cheated on me! She...she went back to her parents' house just to watch me cheat..."
"Cough cough cough!" Zhang Chunxue coughed twice, then revealed a forced smile. "Wang Anguo, you need to be careful with your words and actions. Do you know what the consequences will be if you arbitrarily slander others?"
Wang Anguo felt even more aggrieved.
He stomped his foot angrily: "I don't even want my wife anymore! Even Secretary Song didn't fancy her, and she's still so hung up on him! Anyone would be angry in that situation!"
