He cherished this precious child for over ten years, treating it with utmost care and affection, never uttering a harsh word against it. How could an outsider say such a thing?
She doesn't even deserve it?
Gu Changzheng's unwavering defense surprised everyone watching.
Li Xiaoya stood at the back of the crowd, her eyes fixed on Lu Huaijiao, who was clinging to Gu Changzheng's back.
She was furious!
Why is it that even though everyone is a woman, Lu Huaijiao was able to marry Brother Changzheng, live a life of luxury, do nothing, and still receive Gu Changzheng's unconditional protection?
Why?
On what grounds?
Lu Huaijiao is lazy and spoiled. Why should a man pamper her like this?
Is it just because of her face?
Li Xiaoya's face was contorted with jealousy and hatred. In a moment of impulsiveness, she stepped out of the crowd.
"Jiaojiao, are you alright? How could you be so foolish? Taking advantage of Brother Changzheng's affection for you, you did something to betray him, Jiaojiao! What are you going to do now?"
Li Xiaoya's words clearly indicate that she is out of her mind.
She didn't know that her certainty that Lu Huaijiao was having an affair would lead her to reveal that she was the mastermind behind it all.
The people around were stunned.
They turned their attention back to Lu Huaijiao and the others.
Niu Xianhua, who had been at a loss after being choked by Gu Changzheng, also came back to life.
They stared at Lu Huaijiao one by one, as if she had cheated on them.
They insisted that Lu Huaijiao give an explanation, or they would take them to the commune to report Lu Huaijiao for having an affair with Gou Sheng.
Lu Huaijiao was completely stunned.
Is Li Xiaoya mentally ill?
No, I should say, are the people who want to report her blind?
How could they pair her with that filthy man? Even if it was just wishful thinking, Lu Huaijiao couldn't stand it.
"Are you all blind? Even if you look down on Gu Changzheng, you should at least be objective and fair, right? That unknown bastard over there isn't even worthy of carrying Gu Changzheng's shoes. Would I let Gu Changzheng mess around with him?"
"I'm not that stupid."
Lu Huaijiao spoke in a spoiled tone.
But what he said made a valid point.
Gu Changzheng finally heard a compliment from his wife. Although it didn't seem very sincere, it was still acceptable.
He took it as her loving him.
Realizing this, Gu Changzheng smiled and asked Jiang Xiaohao to bring Gousheng up.
"How did those thugs from town end up in our village, and even try to harm my wife? Just ask them."
As Gu Changzheng finished speaking...
Gou Sheng's face turned pale instantly.
"Wife? Fourth...Fourth Brother...she...she...she's your wife?"
Gou Sheng stared at Lu Huaijiao and Gu Changzheng in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.
How could this woman be Fourth Brother's wife? If he had known all along, how could he have laid a hand on her?
This is my fourth brother...
Gou Sheng didn't want to elaborate on how terrifying Gu Changzheng was. He just wanted to know if the woman who made him attack his fourth brother's woman wanted to kill him.
Gou Sheng's gaze fell on Li Xiaoya, who was standing to the side. Thinking of his own fate, Gou Sheng gritted his teeth and pounced on Li Xiaoya.
"You heartless, wicked woman, how dare you make me kidnap Fourth Brother's woman? I'm not finished with you today."
Freed from Jiang Xiaohao and the others' restraints, Gou Sheng pounced on Li Xiaoya's side. This sudden turn of events went unnoticed by anyone.
In front of everyone, Li Xiaoya was pushed down by Gou Sheng, who then straddled her and slapped her repeatedly.
They hit and cursed at the same time.
"How could you be so wicked? How dare you deceive me into kidnapping my sister-in-law? Luckily, I didn't do anything to her, otherwise how could I face my fourth brother?"
"It's all your fault, you wicked woman! You've ruined my life. I'm going to settle this score with you today!"
Gou Sheng beat him really hard.
Li Xiaoya lay on the ground, completely powerless to resist. She covered her head with her hands and sobbed, crying for help.
But despite the large crowd of onlookers, not a single person stepped forward.
Those women who had initially accused Lu Huaijiao of being "immoral" have now turned their attention to Li Xiaoya, whispering and pointing fingers among themselves.
This is another new juicy gossip topic!
Lu Huaijiao wrapped her arms around Gu Changzheng's neck, watching Li Xiaoya being beaten and seeing her crying pitifully as she looked in their direction.
No, to be specific, it should be that they were looking after Changzheng.
That hesitant look in her eyes made Lu Huaijiao very angry.
She didn't know where her anger came from, but she was just angry.
She reached out and pinched Gu Changzheng's waist, making him turn his head away.
She then spoke fiercely: "So, it was you, Li Xiaoya, who framed me? You don't want to pay me back, so you want to kill me, don't you? Or do you think that if you kill me, my husband will like you more?"
"Li Xiaoya, have you no shame?"
Lu Huaijiao was really furious with Li Xiaoya.
I don't know how there could be such a vicious woman in this world.
Her words gave those women, who were already eager to gossip about Li Xiaoya, a clear indication of what they wanted to hear.
"I never imagined Li Zhiqing would be this kind of person? Trying to kill Lao Si's wife so she could marry him herself?"
"This is really unexpected. Weren't they good friends before? How did things turn out like this?"
"Didn't you hear what the fourth son's wife said? She doesn't want to pay back the money; she's still after her husband..."
