Wang Changxing dodged while defending himself with strong arguments.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I have a letter here as proof. If you don't believe me, take a look."
Wang Changxing took out the letter Zhang Xiaoqin had written to him and showed it to Zhang Xiaoqin's mother-in-law, who was furious.
Her mother-in-law Zhang Xiaoqin stopped and took the letter with trembling hands. Although she was illiterate, she could still tell whether it was her daughter's handwriting because she saw it every day.
But when she saw the letter, she felt like the sky was about to fall. Those words were undoubtedly from Lingling.
How could this happen? It's impossible. Lingling is so well-behaved, she wouldn't do such a shameful thing. It can't be possible. She kept denying it in her mind, not believing what she saw.
Jiang Fu finally came to his senses and walked over to pick up the letter to examine it. It was clearly Lingling's note. They both fell silent, unsure of what to do.
Zhang Xiaoqin had been hiding at the back. She usually liked to be in the spotlight, but in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't dare to step forward and interrupt.
Jiang Fu thought for a moment and tore the letter into pieces. "This is not my sister's handwriting at all, Wang Changxing, you beast."
He went out, got a carrying pole, and beat Wang Changxing out of the yard.
Wang Changxing complained as he ran, "That letter was clearly written by Lingling. You're pretending to be confused in order to stop Lingling and I from being together. Don't worry, you can't stop us. I'm definitely going to marry Jiang Ling."
"You still dare to talk nonsense? Don't you think the beating is not enough?" Seeing that Wang Changxing was still chattering, Jiang Fu chased out with a carrying pole.
Zhang Xiaoqin even pretended to cover up the scandal at home and used kind words to send away those women who came to watch the fun.
By this time, the effects of the drug had worn off. Jiang Ling clutched the quilt tightly to cover herself, crying uncontrollably. Although she couldn't remember exactly what had happened, seeing her clothes scattered all over the floor, watching Jiang Fu beating and scolding Wang Changxing, and looking at the women watching, all of them whispering and gossiping with disgust, she had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
Who is this strange man? Why is she in my room? What on earth did she do to me?
Jiang Ling's mind was filled with a thousand questions. For a brief moment, it felt as if she had traveled through time, and everything became so terrifying.
Jiang Ling's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she is a gentle woman, the kind that is as dependent as a little bird, and people can't help but want to protect her when they see her.
Zhang Xiaoqin's mother-in-law sat next to her and asked her with concern: "Lingling, how did you lose? Why did Wang Changxing..."
"Yes! Lingling, even if you two love each other, you can't be so immoral!" Zhang Xiaoqin did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
Jiang Ling kept shaking her head and crying harder and harder. She threw herself into the arms of her mother-in-law Zhang Xiaoqin, with an expression of grievance on her face.
Grandma Zhang Xiaoqin gently stroked her head. "Child, cry! It's okay to cry. Even if the sky falls, I'm still here! I know who you are better than anyone else. You must have been wronged by Wang Changxing. I didn't expect them to be so bold as to bully people and even come to my home. I will definitely seek justice for you."
The two hugged each other tightly, completely ignoring Zhang Xiaoqin's presence.
"Mom, who is that person? Why did she treat me like this? I... I... how can I face Wei Jie's parents, wuwu..." Jiang Ling sobbed, with great grievance in her words.
It turned out that Jiang Ling had a boyfriend in the county town, and the two were almost at the stage of discussing marriage. This time, she came back to arrange a meeting between both sets of parents to set a date. Now that this has happened, Jiang Ling is too embarrassed to face Wei Jie.
Her mother-in-law got up and escorted Zhang Xiaoqin out of the house. She helped Jiang Ling get dressed and checked the sheets. They were clean, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she had returned in time to prevent Wang Changxing from succeeding.
After Jiang Fu drove Wang Changxing away, he returned to his room.
Zhang Xiaoqin's mother-in-law said sternly, "Afu, go call your uncle, your second uncle, and a few cousins. We'll go find the village chief and ask for an explanation."
"Okay, mother, I'll go right away." Jiang Fu responded and prepared to walk out the door.
Zhang Xiaoqin's mother-in-law continued to add, "Invite the aunts as well. Sometimes women are indispensable too."
Zhang Xiaoqin got anxious when she heard this and blocked Jiang Fu's way, "You are not allowed to go!"
"Get out of the way. I'll go call someone. How does this bother you, Zhang Xiaoqin?" Jiang Fu grabbed Zhang Xiaoqin's arm and tried to push her aside.
Zhang Xiaoqin refused and just sat on the ground, holding Jiang Fu's legs so that he couldn't move.
"Mother, think about it. If you make such a big fuss, what if they flatly deny it? Besides, if you make such a fuss, won't everyone know about it? How can Lingling face people when she goes out?"
Zhang Xiaoqin's words were well-reasoned and on the surface, it seemed that she was really thinking about Jiang Ling, but in fact, she was just afraid that her collusion with Wang Changxing would be known to everyone.
Jiang Fu was a little shaken by her words. He had just been trying desperately to shake off Zhang Xiaoqin, but now he stopped struggling. He turned around and looked at his mother, as if to say: Xiaoqin is not without reason.
His mother understood what he meant immediately and said sternly, "We are upright and have nothing to fear. We cannot let those ungrateful people get away with it." She was firm in her opinion and was not shaken in the slightest by Zhang Xiaoqin's words.
Seeing her mother-in-law still insisting on her own way, Zhang Xiaoqin continued to persuade her, "Mother, why are you so confused? You have to think about Jiang Ling!"
