Su Li also hurriedly grabbed Su's mother's hand, looked at Sister Xie and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, Sister-in-law, why are you so anxious?"
Then, facing the contemptuous eyes of the crowd, she said, "I admit that I was not good to the children at times. Sometimes I was mad and I was very cruel. I only cared about my own life, but I definitely did not cheat on anyone, and I never thought of selling the children. I am a military marriage, I have a husband, children, and allowances. My in-laws are nice people and they don't care about me. Why would I be so desperate to commit suicide in such a good life?"
When everyone heard this, they were like, yes! Su Li's life was simply the best in Shanghe Village!
Although the men and women in the village often scolded her as a spendthrift woman with big hands, the women also couldn't stand her and scolded her while being jealous of her.
But that woman is willing to live her life with someone in charge of her. If they could live a life like Su Li, they would be very happy.
Then Su Li walked to a few more children and bowed to them. "Children, Mom was wrong. Mom will never hit you again. Mom lives alone, and Dad is often not at home. I am also scared when it is late at night. Mom should not vent her anger on you. Whether you believe it or not, Mom has deeply reflected on it and I have realized my mistakes. I apologize to you in front of everyone today. I am sorry."
Several children stared at Su Li blankly, their eyes filled with tears, but they stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
Su Li felt distressed when she saw them. Such young children! How much suffering they had endured. Su Li reached out to wipe their tears, and the children shrank back reflexively.
Su Li sighed and continued, "Mom knows how much I have done to hurt your feelings. Saying sorry once can't make up for the damage I have done to you. Today, Mom will give you a promise. From now on, Mom will never hit you again. Dad is gone, and Mom will let you live a life of plenty."
Then he turned to Xie's mother and said, "Mom, I don't understand these things. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble. In the future, I will definitely take good care of you on behalf of Zhengchuan. All the villagers can bear witness to my belief that I have never done anything to let Xie Zhengchuan down."
Although Xie's mother did have an affair today, it was also the original owner's fault. Now that she has inherited the original owner's life, it is necessary for her to maximize her favorability. She can be nice to Xie's mother, but on the premise that she will not find trouble for her in the future.
Su Li's sincere words made her cry, which was completely different from her usual lazy and loud voice. Except for a few children who were moved to tears, everyone else was stunned by her. Even Li Ruiying and the brothers of the Su family were surprised that Su Li could say such meaningful words.
Mother Xie looked at her daughter-in-law's righteous words and felt that they did not sound like lies. Could her daughter-in-law really become a better person?
Widow Liu, who was familiar with Mrs. Xie, was the first to react. She quickly said, "Su Li, you've been gossiped about by everyone in our team. Everyone has seen you beat children. How can you reflect on it after just a short while? You're regretting it! Humph, you can only fool a few children with this."
"That's right. A dog will always eat shit. She is afraid that her dirty deeds will be discovered. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so badly injured and still come out to stop her mother from calling the police. I think she is just guilty."
"That's right, that's right. He didn't even explain clearly what happened before, and he came up and apologized to the kid. Who would believe him if he said he didn't feel guilty?"
......
When Li Ruiying heard them making up stories about her daughter, she was so angry that she wanted to tear their mouths apart. Fortunately, Su Li held her hand.
Su Li took two steps and stood in front of Sister Xie and said, "Sister-in-law, where are you? Look who I am with and what I did. Tell me everything clearly. Now everyone says that I am cheating on me. I am not afraid of being embarrassed. Just tell everyone clearly."
After saying this, he looked straight at Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie looked at Su Li, swallowed her saliva and said, "I, I got up to pee at night, and heard Su Li talking to a man. He was talking about child brides and selling children in the middle of the night. What can I do at that time?"
When everyone heard this, it turned out to be true and Su Li was not wrongly accused.
Xie's mother and Su's mother were heartbroken. Sister Xie looked at the expressions of the crowd and became complacent.
Xu Yuan had heard that the Xie family had almost beaten someone to death, and was afraid that his affair with Su Li would be exposed and affect his college admission, so he had been paying close attention to the development of the affair. After hearing what Sister Xie said, he turned around and left in a panic. Before he had taken two steps, he heard Su Li shout, "Xu Zhiqing, stay."
Everyone was confused as to what was going on, but Xu Yuan turned around and gave Su Li a warning look.
Su Li smiled and said to Xu Yuan, "Xu Zhiqing, last night, I asked you to bring me a Shanghai watch when I went to the provincial capital. I gave you 200 yuan, but you said the original price was 160 yuan. Because I didn't have a ticket, it might be much more expensive. You refunded me more and paid me less. Tell everyone about this, is it true?"
Xu Yuan was startled, his eyes rolled as he said, "Yes, Comrade Su, I came from the provincial capital too late yesterday, and you called me when I passed by your door. Hi! You didn't come out to explain the situation to everyone just now, wasn't it because you were afraid of causing misunderstandings?"
When everyone heard this, they thought, 200 yuan! They didn't even have 200 yuan! Su Li was indeed a spendthrift woman.
Mrs. Xie felt distressed when she heard this, and secretly cursed Su Li for being extravagant. If she didn't have her parents' family, she could at least save a few dozen dollars at home, and then her parents would be envied to death.
He frowned at Su Li and said, "Why do you have to talk about buying things so late at night? You are a single man and a single woman, who knows what you are talking about? Yu Ming just wants to have an affair."
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? I was afraid that the rumors you mentioned would appear, so I waited for Xu Zhiqing at the door. Who is slutting at the door? Besides, Xu Zhiqing is a native of the city who is going to college. How can she be so shameless as to do such a thing? It's okay for you to say that. I know you don't like me, but there's no need to drag her down and ruin her reputation as a college student!"
"Yes! Xu Zhiqing is a city dweller. I heard that he went to college soon. How could he be having an affair with someone?"
"That's right. Although Su Li is pretty, Xu Zhiqing is a real treasure."
"Isn't it? Many aunties and sisters tried to matchmake Xu Zhiqing with a girl, but he refused because he wanted to study."
"That's right, how could I be interested in Su Li who is married and has kids!"
