She was filled with confusion and resentment. Her body softened and she knelt in front of her parents, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. "Dad, Mom, I really was tricked. Ever since I ate the snacks Sun Youfang sent me, I don't remember anything. I must have fallen into a trap! Please save me. I don't want to marry that fool..."
Hearing the name "Sun Youfang," Mother Su's anger instantly ignited, and she even stuttered, "I told you a long time ago to stay away from that woman Sun Youfang. She's very scheming. Why didn't you listen to me? Now look, not only has your own reputation been ruined, but you've also dragged down our entire family and made us lose face in the village!"
Having said that, facing her crying daughter, the maternal love in Su's mother's heart finally prevailed. She held back her tears and finally cried with her daughter.
How can a mother not feel distressed after raising a child for many years?
However, the reality is cruel. If Su Qifen does not follow the rules at this time, she will probably be regarded as a typical example of corrupting customs in the village and face more serious consequences.
"Things have come to this point. There's no other way but to get married. Crying won't solve the problem. Dry your tears and go get the marriage certificate tomorrow. You have to walk the future path on your own. We, as your parents, have done our best. Don't come back and cry to us about how your life will turn out. It's useless."
There was helplessness and determination in Su's mother's words.
Su Laosan felt very aggrieved. As the village party secretary, if this matter were to become public, not only would his daughter's reputation be damaged, but his own position might also be in jeopardy.
Therefore, there is inevitably a bit of harshness and impatience in the words.
Su Qifen's heart was like the sky covered by dark clouds, heavy and almost crushing her.
Since she was young, she has been the brightest star in the family. No matter her childhood dreams or the bumps and bruises on the road to growth, her parents' warm embrace and firm support have always protected her from the wind and rain.
However, this time, when the unjust injustice loomed like a shadow, the once indestructible safe haven unexpectedly chose to remain silent, and even proposed a solution to hastily marry her off, making her feel unprecedented isolation and despair.
Her body slumped weakly on the cold ground. Everything around her seemed to be still, and she even forgot to cry.
At this moment, Xie Yun's figure passed by silently.
An elusive smile played on the corners of his mouth, and every word pierced his heart: "What can tears at this moment change? You disdained my earlier advice, and now who can you blame for being imprisoned? Ultimately, you sowed the seeds of karma yourself. That fool was just the trigger. If you hadn't provoked him, how could he have been so easily calculated? This ending is ultimately your own doing."
While speaking, Xie Yun did not pause for a moment, but turned and left resolutely, without even giving Su Qifen or her parents any chance to explain.
Although Su Qifen's elder brother, Su Lao Da, did not join in the verbal battle, he could hardly hide the disappointment and disgust in his eyes after witnessing this scene.
He took his son away silently and chose to eat quietly in the kitchen, silently expressing his dissatisfaction and alienation towards his sister.
As the night deepened, dinner time at the Su family became particularly dull.
After the meal, Su Laosan and Su's mother also joined the table silently. It seemed that everyone had tacitly agreed that no matter how many words were spoken, they would be pale and powerless in the face of what had already happened.
Su Qifen sat alone in the courtyard, as if she was staring at the warmth of her family reunion in the kitchen all night long. Every laugh and every conversation was like a sharp blade cutting her heart.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Su Qifen quietly sneaked into the kitchen, holding a cold and gleaming kitchen knife, her heart filled with the flame of revenge, and went straight to Sun Youfang's residence.
On the other side, Xu Qinghe and Yin Yunjie had been busy all day decorating their new home and were preparing to rest after dinner.
While cleaning up the dishes, Sun Youfang was secretly proud of the arrangements he had made for Xie Di. He was thinking about how to use this matter to get some benefits from Xie Di. Otherwise, he would threaten to make the dispute between Su Qifen and the Yin family public to seek benefits for himself.
Just as she was immersed in her selfish calculations, Su Qifen appeared with a knife in her hand. Sun Youfang was so frightened that she trembled all over and tried to hide in the kitchen. However, Su Qifen was faster and approached her in a few steps. The blade in her hand drew a cold trajectory in the air.
"Hey, Qifen, what are you doing?"
Sun Youfang was terrified.
"Help! Someone's killing me!"
The screams pierced the night sky, attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors.
It was still late at night and many houses had their lights on. When they heard the noise, they all stuck their heads out and were shocked to see this horrifying scene.
Su Qifen's emotions completely collapsed. Faced with the upcoming unhappy marriage, she felt that passing away might be the only relief.
In desperation, she decided to make Sun Youfang and Xu Qinghe, who had caused her this, pay the price, even if it meant dying together.
Sun Youfang cried out in innocence, her voice filled with panic: "What kind of nonsense is this? When have I ever hurt you? Why are you suddenly so out of control?"
Xu Qinghe and Yin Yunjie were also alarmed. They went out to check before they could rest. Unexpectedly, this action further aroused Su Qifen's madness. She swung the kitchen knife in her hand and pointed it directly at Xu Qinghe...
Yin Yunjie's reaction was as fast as lightning. His eyes were sharp and with a move of his feet, he kicked the sinister kitchen knife into the air accurately, instantly eliminating the crisis facing Xu Qinghe.
The knife flashed, accompanied by a sharp whistle, and finally landed several feet away, and the weapon in Su Qifen's hand was taken away.
Su Qifen, who had lost her weapon, looked even more helpless, and Sun Youfang seized the opportunity, exerted his strength suddenly, and pinned her to the ground. His movements were neat, accompanied by two loud slaps that echoed in the night, as if trying to awaken Su Qifen's reason that had been lost due to anger.
There was a hint of coldness and reproach in Sun Youfang's words, and every word struck the hearts of everyone present, making the atmosphere suddenly solemn.
Su Qifen lay on the ground, tears mixed with dust. Her mood seemed to be washed repeatedly by huge waves. She finally saw Sun Youfang's true face hidden behind hypocrisy. Regret surged like a tide and drowned her.
She recalled her mother's countless warnings. Her indifference at that time has now turned into heart-wrenching pain. If she had followed her mother's instructions earlier and stayed away from Sun Youfang, perhaps everything would not have come to such a terrible situation.
Yin Yunjie witnessed all this and couldn't help feeling disgusted.
Su Qifen even took advantage of the people in the village who were recognized as innocent. He felt disgusted by her selfishness and cunning.
In a firm tone, he suggested, "Let's go find the village chief to handle this matter. Intentional injury should be strictly investigated according to the law and sent to the relevant departments for investigation. This is the right way."
Sun Youfang's words were harsh and infuriating, while Yin Yunjie was outspoken.
