Jiang Jinhua strode up to those people and said fiercely, "Shut up, all of you! Who told you all this? Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation and send you all to jail."
He glared angrily at everyone present: "Listen up, all of you! I don't even want that ugly woman. If I hear anyone gossiping about me behind my back again, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'm not kidding. Did you hear me?"
Speaking ill of someone behind their back, only to be caught red-handed by the person in question.
Everyone was stunned.
They all shut their mouths.
But some people were dismissive of his tone and directly confronted him: "You're Jiang Jinhua, the younger brother of Jiang Zhiqing? If you hadn't done it, would people be talking about you?"
There's no smoke without fire; they still believe that someone must have seen it for the rumors to spread.
Jiang Jinhua was so angry that she went over and grabbed the person's collar: "Try saying that again?"
His fist was already halfway up in the air.
It seemed that if that person dared to say another word, he would immediately strike.
The man was instantly intimidated by Jiang Jinhua's actions and aura.
His mouth trembled for a long time, but he couldn't utter another word.
People nearby quickly pulled the two apart.
"If any of you dare to spread rumors again, I will not let you get away with it!"
Jiang Jinhua, like a wolf cub, stared at everyone present and uttered harsh words.
He picked up a stone from the ground and slammed it down next to the crowd with a loud crack.
Everyone was startled.
Looking at the shattered stone, it felt as if the stone had not fallen on the ground, but on them.
At this point, a village woman said aggrievedly, "It wasn't us who said it first. If you're so capable, go find the person who said it first. What's the use of blaming us?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinhua's mind raced, and she calmed down slightly.
"Then tell me, who started this rumor first?"
The villagers pointed at each other, and finally their gazes fell on a middle-aged woman who was the least noticeable person in the corner.
Jiang Jinhua followed the gaze and saw that the middle-aged woman was not tall, only about 1.5 meters, and had a sharp and mean face.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? It wasn't me who said it first."
Feeling uneasy under the stares of the crowd, the middle-aged woman spoke up and asked directly.
Jiang Jinhua exuded an aura of power as he approached her step by step.
The middle-aged woman took two steps back, frightened by Jiang Jinhua's fierce gaze.
"You, you're not allowed to come any closer."
Jiang Jinhua stopped a meter away from her, looking at her coldly: "Tell me, who told you to say that?"
"No, no one."
The middle-aged woman avoided eye contact with Jiang Jinhua.
Jiang Jinhua took another step forward. "Will you tell me or not?"
His fist was raised once again.
The middle-aged woman clenched her teeth and refused to speak.
She bet that Jiang Jinhua wouldn't dare hit her, and since everyone had stopped him earlier, she believed that everyone would help her this time.
However, when she looked up, everyone was staring at her intently, and no one moved.
Jiang Jinhua saw that she was still unwilling to talk.
He really did punch her.
His mother used to tell him that he was not allowed to hit women, and that men who hit women were not good people.
But he discovered that some of the women in the rural areas he had been sent to were really asking for a beating.
He would rather not be the good guy than be bullied in a stifling manner.
Now, he's furious and doesn't care whether you're a man or a woman; he'll beat any woman he sees.
"ah--"
A scream rang out.
The middle-aged woman instantly developed panda eyes.
The pain stimulated her brain nerves, causing her entire face to contort.
"You, you actually dared to hit me?"
"Will you talk or not?" Jiang Jinhua raised his fist again.
The middle-aged woman wanted to break free from his control, but found herself no match for him at all.
The disparity in strength between men and women left her feeling quite frustrated.
Seeing Jiang Jinhua's fist, she became frightened: "I'll talk, I'll talk. He Mei taught me to say that. She said you like her, but you avoid her because of your status."
What she didn't say was that He Mei gave her fifty cents.
As soon as she finished speaking, the way people around her looked at her changed.
Judging from Jiang Jinhua's attitude, it's clear that He Mei is talking nonsense.
The one who truly observes others is herself.
And they all became her accomplices.
If they continue to spread these rumors and no one defends Jiang Jinhua, then in the end, Jiang Jinhua will be forced to marry her under pressure.
"What do I like about her? That she's ugly? That she's a widow? That she spreads rumors everywhere? What is there about her that I like? Damn it, if I don't beat her to death, I'll write my name backwards."
After saying that, he stormed off towards the He family's house.
Sensing something was wrong, some ran off to see what was happening, while others quietly went to find the village chief.
To Jiang Jinhua's dismay, He Mei was not home when he went to the He family's house; only Liu Caihong was there.
She didn't know either when asked, and just kept looking at him with a gloomy expression.
The look in her eyes was as if she wanted to devour him.
Jiang Jinhua ignored her, muttered "crazy" and left.
You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.
He simply didn't believe that He Mei wouldn't go home to sleep at night.
He'll come back tonight and settle the score with her properly.
...
On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I felt.
He felt he should tell his sister about this.
As soon as Jiang Jinhua returned to the Gu family's gate, she heard the voice of an unfamiliar woman in the courtyard.
His face changed drastically, and he stormed in, yelling, "Gu Xichen, how dare you bring another woman back? Do you think I'm dead? I thought you were really devoted to my sister, but it hasn't been that long, and you've already..."
Jiang Jinhua rushed in.
Seeing Gu Xichen and Mo Caixia flirting face to face, while his sister stood aside, his expression became even more unpleasant.
Damn it, these two scoundrels actually dare to flirt so openly in front of his sister.
At this moment, he was burning with rage and completely ignored Wu Wen standing beside him.
He raised his fist and swung it directly at Mo Caixia.
Mo Caixia was stunned by his sudden action. She stared wide-eyed at his movements, forgetting to dodge.
Wu Wen had been watching Mo Caixia's every move. When he saw that she was in danger, he immediately stepped in front of her and caught Jiang Jinhua's fist.
"Xiao Hua, stop."
Jiang Jinhua then noticed that Wu Wen was also there.
"Brother Wen, why are you protecting her? She's so shameless."
These words infuriated Mo Caixia. She pushed Wu Wen aside and pointed at Jiang Jinhua: "Who are you? How dare you talk like that? Who's shameless? You're the shameless one, coming in and cursing people."
"Damn it, you wild woman, you dare to curse me?"
