Cheng Fangqin was a little anxious to explain to others the relationship between herself, Cheng Fangyi and Su Qing.
But then she thought, if she said she had been here before, wouldn't the incident of being chased away by Su's mother with a broom be remembered again? If she said something else, she would be treated as a human trafficker.
Cheng Fangqin's eyes kept turning.
After a while...
"Hey... this is a long story." Cheng Fangqin kept the audience in suspense, thinking that she had whetted the appetite of the onlookers.
She had everything planned out. When the villagers asked her about it, she would take over the conversation and exaggerate the Cheng family's affairs to gain some support from the masses.
But it seemed that the villagers were used to being straightforward and didn't think deeply about Cheng Fangqin's words. Instead, they retorted impatiently, "Then cut to the chase. Hurry up, or leave the village. Who knows what a stranger like you is doing wandering around the village?"
"Hey, hey, hey, big brother, don't be so mean, we're all family. I'm really Old Cheng's eldest sister, a real real sister. Look, don't I look a lot like Cheng Fangyi?"
Cheng Fangqin smiled flatteringly and calmly moved closer to her face, trying to convince the burly man in front of her.
"Pa..." The crisp sound of a slap echoed all around, followed by harsh insults.
"What kind of bitch is this, trying to seduce my man? I can see your face clearly from ten meters away. Do you have to get so close? Do you want me to help you touch your face directly?"
The woman who spoke looked back and forth between the two of them.
"Wife, I've been standing here without moving. Please don't blame me." The man with the shovel strategically took a few steps back to make more space.
Cheng Fangqin covered her burning face with her hands in disbelief and lowered her head slightly.
"So you want to stick to my man!"
The woman pointed her rough finger at Cheng Fangqin, and Cheng Fangqin's face turned pale and blue.
She admitted that she felt dirty for a moment, but it was his fault that even a cotton coat couldn't hide his well-developed tendon muscles.
Then think about her dead ghost, who is so weak that a small breeze can blow him down.
Although outsiders think she has a man, she has actually long forgotten what it feels like to have a man.
So he thought for a long time before stumbling out, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're making me sound like I'm not a man. He doesn't believe I'm Cheng Fangyi's elder sister. What else can I do except let him see more clearly?"
But everyone was more wary of her at this time, especially the women, who frantically hid their men and children behind them.
"Enough, enough, let's go. I've seen many people like you who come to ask for money from relatives halfway through. Let's go quickly while everyone still has some patience." After saying that, the brave old woman took a fork to pick up Cheng Fangqin's bag and pretended to throw it away.
There was still money for the trip home in the bag, so Cheng Fangqin didn't dare to be careless and ran away after the old woman.
Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the Su family, Cheng Fangqin was almost crying.
I don’t know what this country woman eats, but her legs are more nimble than hers. She walked half the distance in a flash.
"I really am Cheng Fangyi's elder sister. I have been to our water village before." Cheng Fangqin couldn't run anymore. She supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath, and said almost pleadingly.
The woman in front stopped when she heard this and asked, "Didn't you come here with a woman more than ten years ago? That woman was wearing a skirt in the cold weather, and the Su family beat you two up and threw you out?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the women following Cheng Fangqin were instantly brought back to their memories.
The complicated expression on Cheng Fangqin's face made the person asking the question more convinced.
"Yes, I was here, but things were not as you saw. I had my reasons at the time."
"So what if it was true? You had your own reasons at the time. The Su family spread the rumor that the Cheng family kid had no relatives. No, it seems that there was still a father who lived with the Cheng family kid in the Su family. But I have never heard of your eldest sister who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
Every man has his own reason, and every woman has her own reason.
If she was really Cheng Fangyi's elder sister, then why did Mrs. Su beat her out of the house with sticks?
Even if it is true, judging by the way they get along, they are probably relatives who have a grudge against each other.
Suddenly, this job seems a bit hot...
But Cheng Fangqin didn't pay any attention to the mother-in-law's expression when she replied. Because her 'father' who had died many years ago and Cheng Fangyi had moved into the Su family, the strings in her mind were completely broken.
"Dad...my dad...didn't he...die a long time ago?" Maybe he would be just a pile of bones now.
"Pah, pah, pah, how can you be so vicious, woman?! If you don't want to recognize someone, just pretend you don't know them. How can you curse them to death? Well, I'll give you back your bag. You can go wherever you want. It's the world, and I, an old woman, can't control it."
The old woman left grumblingly, since it wouldn't bring any trouble to her anyway.
Everyone started discussing it.
"I seem to remember that this really happened."
"Of course not. You were laughing at me then."
"They're not really relatives, are they?"
"What kind of relative doesn't even know whether his own father is alive or not?"
"Why not send it to the Su family and let the Su family deal with it themselves."
"I don't know. Do whatever you want. It's getting late. I need to go home and boil some water for the child to take a bath."
"I have to go back too. My husband will get angry if he doesn't have food on time."
"I...I'm going back too. We have a lot of rules in our house."
In just a short while, everyone dispersed.
This was exactly what Cheng Fangqin wanted. She grabbed her bag and ran quickly to the Su family. She wanted to see with her own eyes whether her father was alive.
At this moment, her heart was filled with anticipation.
After all, as long as her father was alive, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, enjoying the best food and fish, shopping and drinking tea. Even the man who beat her up would have to kneel at her feet like a dog and beg for forgiveness.
Thinking of this, Cheng Fangqin's heart flew away...
However, the so-called father she mentioned, that is, Hei Ye, was so angry with Xiao Wu that he was fuming.
"Su Chengyi, think about it carefully. When did I tell you to compete with others in holding your breath? Why did you go to the reservoir to compete? How could you be so capable?" Hei Ye slammed the table.
He clearly said that if you do something, you should either not do it or do it to the best of your ability. But within a few days, he was accused of such a serious crime. Even Dou E was not as wronged as him.
Hei Ye continued, "What kind of place is that reservoir? Is it a place you kids can go and play? Have you ever seen the two-story red brick houses in town? The reservoir is even deeper than that. If something really happened to it, how would an old man like me survive?"
Hei Ye rarely got angry, and everyone in the Su family was stunned.
"Dad..." The tense atmosphere was broken by the sudden call of "Dad".
