Anyway, bragging costs nothing, so no matter what others say, He Ligen readily agrees.
"No problem! I'll take care of this little thing."
Seeing the envious and jealous looks in the eyes of the three people at the mahjong table, He Ligen's vanity was greatly satisfied.
The group chatted and played mahjong, getting really into it, but somehow the topic suddenly turned to Shen Zhihuan.
Hao's wife sighed with a hint of regret.
"When it comes to academic performance, the second daughter of the Shen family still comes out on top."
"That girl is known for being very smart, but for some reason, she underperformed in the college entrance exam and didn't even get into university."
He Ligen felt guilty as soon as he heard Shen Zhihuan's name, and he saw that the people at the chess and card table were discussing her past academic performance.
He felt a sudden surge of nervousness, fearing that the villagers would discover that he had tampered with Shen Zhihuan's school records.
But he soon realized that Shen Zhihuan was completely unaware of the truth about why he couldn't go to university, and that Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan, who knew the truth, had been locked up in a detention center.
There was absolutely no one in this village who could threaten him using this excuse.
He Ligen felt relieved after thinking about this, but he was also annoyed by Old Man Xu and the others praising Shen Zhihuan, so he deliberately made a few sarcastic remarks.
"What's the use of being smart? The second daughter of the Shen family has such a bad mentality; she's destined to never achieve anything great in this life."
"She can't even perform well in such an important occasion as the college entrance examination. Even if she wants to retake it in the future, it won't be much better. She is destined to never get into college in this lifetime."
Recalling Shen Zhihuan's aggressive manner when severing ties with her, He Ligen felt displeased and began pointing fingers at her again.
"There's an old saying from our ancestors: 'Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important.' That second daughter of the Shen family doesn't even want her own parents. What kind of good person could she be!"
Hao's wife couldn't stand it anymore and weakly offered a defense.
"She was beaten so badly by her parents that she almost lost her life, and she had no other choice but to sever ties with them."
"Bullshit! What father doesn't beat his child? Only Chen Zhihuan is being pretentious!"
He Ligen was so angry that he was fuming.
"Shen Yongcai and his wife worked so hard to bring her into this world. Let alone disciplining her, even if they beat her to death, she can't complain!"
“My younger brother in the village told me that Shen Zhihuan not only spread rumors throughout the village that she wanted to sever ties with her family, but also published the news in the newspaper.”
"Our Panyun Village is featured on the front page. Shen Zhihuan is trying to make our whole village lose face because of her. If we had known this would happen, we should have had Shen Yongcai strangle her and throw her into the river to drown her when she was just born!"
Old Xu, Hao's wife, and Aunt Tang were all too frightened to breathe, but He Ligen got more and more excited as he talked.
"Fortunately, Shen Zhihuan has now received her retribution."
"She didn't get into university, and Shen Ling took her away from her marriage. Not only does she have nowhere to stay, but she also doesn't have any skills to rely on, so she definitely won't be able to find a job."
As He Ligen spoke, his eyes darted around, and he suddenly chuckled lewdly, as if he had thought of something.
"However, Shen Zhihuan is not without her merits; she is indeed quite beautiful."
“In big cities, women like her who are beautiful but uneducated are very popular. She can easily find an old man and never have to worry about going hungry.”
Old Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and even chuckled twice.
Hao's wife and Old Lady Tang felt particularly uncomfortable listening to this, and after exchanging a glance, they both frowned.
"How about we call it a day and head home to cook dinner?"
Although He Ligen didn't know why the two of them wanted to leave, he still subconsciously reached out to stop them:
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's no fun for a bunch of grown men to play mahjong. You two can stay and keep us company..."
That shameless old scoundrel, how old is he and he's still harassing others?
Hao's wife suddenly got angry and yelled at him, but He Ligen gave her a cold shoulder, saying that she couldn't take a joke.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
The group instinctively looked up and were startled to see that it was actually the police officers who had pushed open the door.
