This matter was originally a secret. Later, Shu Wenqing's wife Qin Susu fell seriously ill for some unknown reason and has been bedridden ever since.
At this time, Shu Wenqing actually brought his woman Ke and his son Shu Guozhong to Qin Susu's home.
At that time, Shu Wenqing used the excuse of letting Ke come to his house to take care of his wife and women, but everyone knew exactly what this man was thinking.
After Qin Susu died of illness, Shu Wenqing naturally married Ke as his concubine and had a son and a daughter with her.
Village Chief Xu clearly remembered that not long after Shu Wenqing married Mrs. Ke, Shu Jiaying fell ill with a strange disease.
Shu Jiaying was pretty when she was a child, but because of this strange disease, her face became blurred and extremely ugly.
Since then, Shu Jiaying has not only been bullied and despised by her family, but also suffered from the contempt and insults of the villagers. It is not easy for her to live safely to this day.
So in the heart of Village Chief Xu, he felt very sympathetic towards Shu Jiaying.
But what Shu Jiaying did today was undoubtedly the behavior of a shrew, and Village Chief Xu did not approve of it.
He said neutrally, "Jiaying, no one here can drive you out of this village, and no one can occupy your house. But I heard that you broke your brother's head yesterday and hid outside all night. When you came back today, you beat your mother again. Tell Uncle Xu if this is true?"
Shu Jiaying didn't answer but asked, "Uncle Xu... Did you know that I fainted in the stinking ditch at the edge of the village all night? If the village kids hadn't woken me up with stones this morning, and I hadn't continued to soak in the stinking ditch like this, I might have died long ago.
Smell it... I was stinking. I originally wanted to go home and find some decent clothes to change into, but when I searched through the wooden box in my room, I found that I didn't have any clothes to change into.
Uncle Xu, take another look at what my brother Shu Guozhong is wearing."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Xu immediately took a look at Shu Guozhong.
Although Shu Guozhong was wearing an ordinary coarse coat, it was clean and tidy, and there was not a single patch on his body. In contrast, Shu Jiaying.
The clothes Shu Jiaying was wearing were torn and old, and the patches had long obscured the original color of the clothes. Furthermore, they had been soaked in stinky water...
In comparison, although these two people live in the same family, their treatment is really worlds apart.
Sympathy immediately turned to Shu Jiaying.
Village Chief Xu scolded him, "Old Shu, don't you know how to prepare a decent set of clothes for your daughter? Guozhong and Jiaying are both your children. As the saying goes, both are your flesh and blood. You should treat them equally. Besides, you live in the house left by Jiaying's mother."
"Mr. Village Head, this... isn't this about Jiaying beating someone up? How did it get to her clothes?"
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'A cornered dog will jump over a wall?' Everyone knows what kind of life Jiaying has been leading in your house. I believe Jiaying is a sensible girl. She wouldn't resort to violence for no reason, and certainly wouldn't lie in a stinking ditch all night without returning home."
Having said that, Village Chief Xu looked directly at Shu Wenqing with sharp eyes.
Shu Wenqing immediately turned his head away guiltily.
In fact, Shu Jiaying fell into the ditch at the instigation of Shu Wenqing's wife and the action of his youngest son Guoyi. Although he also opposed it, he turned a blind eye when he thought that after Jiaying died, the house would truly belong to him.
