Chapter 73 It's not that easy.
This whole thing started because Liu Yaozong harbored resentment towards Su Yuanzheng, and he wanted to use Xia Yutong to make Su Yuanzheng suffer a heart-wrenching pain.
However, it failed, which gave Chen Xinya the opportunity to stir up trouble.
But Chen Xinya never expected that her pregnancy would be discovered and become common knowledge.
The villagers were all a bit confused. After the village chief went back, he told his wife, Yang Shuying, about it. After he finished speaking, he instructed her, "Now that things are in such a mess, don't spread it around. Just keep it to yourself."
"I really didn't expect this girl to be so good."
"Yes, I didn't expect this either. What will Old Chen do now? He made so much money, and his daughter turned out like this."
After returning to the village, Zhou Erniang didn't stay idle. She was the kind of person who couldn't keep her mouth shut. She had been thinking while she was in the hospital that she couldn't ruin the young lady's reputation.
But once they arrived in the village, everyone was asking about Xia Yutong's recovery and whether she had saved her child.
I also mentioned Chen Xinya in passing.
Some people say that Chen Xinya is meddling in other people's business, and that this is a matter for the Su family, so what does it have to do with her?
Some people say that Chen Xinya did the right thing and that handing it over to the police was a good idea.
But online... there are all sorts of rumors circulating online, basically saying that the Su family is a bizarre family, and their claims of being honest and kind are all fake and disgusting...
Some people even hurl insults at Xia Yutong in the comments section, calling her a femme fatale, a bad person, and saying she didn't even spare her husband and brother-in-law.
Some people say that it's a problem with the other person's character and has nothing to do with Xia Yutong.
Nanbian Village initially became popular because of Zhou Hengzhi's incident. Naturally, as the hype died down, fewer and fewer people associated Zhou Hengzhi with Nanbian Village.
Xia Yutong's appearance on camera brought a lot of attention to Nanbian Village, proving that the land shapes its people.
Her sudden fame attracted the attention of some media outlets who wanted to find out the truth behind the incident.
Around noon, many reporters arrived at the southern village. The villagers were very hospitable to them, but people's manners can vary greatly.
When pressed by reporters for details, Village Chief Wei said, "The police have already investigated?"
"Was it voluntary or seduction? What are the specific circumstances?"
Village Chief Wei gave a brief account of what he knew, but clearly, that wasn't what the reporter wanted to hear.
"Is it possible that the girl from the south actively seduced her...?"
"No way. What would she be after? Yuan Zheng is way more handsome than Liu Yaozong."
"It's possible. This isn't the first time. It just happened to be discovered this time. This woman deliberately seduced him, and after the incident came to light, she claimed that he forced her, trying to clear her name in front of her man."
The questions asked were increasingly harsh, but fortunately, Village Chief Wei had a good temper and did not get angry.
Village Chief Wei knew that when there were many people around, losing one's temper meant that one was familiar with the person. Regardless of whether one was right or wrong, once one revealed one's extreme emotions, no one would understand.
He spoke very patiently, “Yuanzheng is a young man from our southern village. He is an intellectual and is willing to come back to contribute to our village, which is a great thing.”
"This incident has nothing to do with the quality of our village. It's like one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. Fortunately, it didn't cause any serious consequences. Thank you for your concern."
"So how should we resolve this matter, Village Chief Wei?"
Village Chief Wei had no idea how to resolve this matter; the police hadn't even figured it out yet.
He said to the camera, "I have only one attitude toward this matter: the judgment should be made as appropriate."
After he finished speaking, the reporter pressed on, "Will Su Yuanzheng go to jail?"
“Su Yuanzheng and his brother-in-law have a grudge. What exactly is the grudge? Village Chief, do you know anything about it?”
"That's their business. I've already answered what you wanted to know."
"Village chief, we've already come all this way, so please tell us more, don't let us make a wasted trip!"
Some people even went to the Su family's house, but no one was home. They could only take pictures of the courtyard, and when they saw a wooden crib in the yard, they took a picture of it.
To grab attention, people will say all sorts of things.
The happiest person was Zhou Hengzhi.
He wasn't involved at all, but he could quietly be a bystander.
Upon learning that Xia Yutong had been forced into this situation, his first reaction was anger; he felt an urge to chop her up with a knife. However, after calming down and reflecting on the situation, he continued to pay close attention to it.
The various opinions online brought him comfort and peace of mind...
He even thought to himself that Su Yuanzheng was completely incapable of handling this matter, and that once Xia Yutong realized that the man she married was a good-for-nothing, she might just get a quick divorce...
As for Chen Xinya, let her continue to fan the flames. When things get to a certain point, there will naturally be people who can't stand her and will take care of her themselves.
For Xia Yutong, having an abortion and returning to his side is the best choice.
In the office, Zhou Hengzhi hadn't been in a good mood in a long time.
"Mr. Zhou, the person has been taken back to the old house."
When Ah Huan came in, he saw him sipping coffee, his fingers with distinct knuckles, his face aloof and noble, a masterpiece of nature...
How is she?
Good things always come in pairs. The Su family is having a run of bad luck, but Zhou Jin has been released today.
"They kept smashing things."
"Let her smash it. If she wants to vent her anger, let her vent it. She's been wronged these past few days."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Jin called, but Zhou Hengzhi didn't answer and continued scrolling through videos analyzing various bloggers online.
"Find a few media outlets to go to Nanbian Village, no, find more, the more the better."
Ah Huan cleared his throat. "Can't hold it in anymore, Mr. Zhou? What you're doing looks like you're trying to fish in troubled waters. What if someone finds out..."
"never mind."
Zhou Hengzhi didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he frowned and said, "This matter is already bad enough. She will eventually realize that I am the most suitable man for her."
Ah Huan stood ramrod straight. "But even if she's willing to come back to you, she'll still be a woman Su Yuanzheng used. Don't you mind?"
Ah Huan added, "People will say you're sleeping with a woman that a poor country boy didn't want."
Zhou Hengzhi, who had been all smiles, froze on his face upon hearing this, and his face turned ashen the next second.
"Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."
"I'm just afraid that if this continues, you'll be happy for nothing."
Zhou Hengzhi stood up, shaking the coffee in his hand. "How is that possible?"
Ah Huan shook his head. "How is it impossible? Think about it. The reason things have developed to this point is that no one from the Su family has come forward. They've only relied on an anonymous post online to make unfounded accusations. They've gone around asking around in the village, but those villagers don't know exactly what happened to the Su family, so their words aren't very convincing."
Zhou Hengzhi sneered, "That's not important. Xia Yutong's reputation is in jeopardy. Su Yuanzheng can't handle this matter well. His abilities are nothing special. As for those rotten lands, this time not only Su Yuanzheng, but even Shang Xingchuan might lose to me."
"Then what's the point of having a woman with a bad reputation?"
Ah Huan added, "Once the Su family steps in and someone turns the tide, the couple will become incredibly popular again."
Zhou Hengzhi scoffed, "It's not that easy!"
