Chapter 46 : Why is my house like this?

Upon hearing this, the cheers suddenly turned into an uproar.

From ancient times to the present, such romantic scandals have always attracted the most attention.

When they heard that someone was cheating, everyone immediately stopped caring whether the rain would stop or not. They all rushed to the backyard. They were afraid of being late and missing any juicy scenes.

When Gao Fangxia heard about the Li family’s disgrace, a gleam of gloating appeared on her face. Without hesitation, she also ran to the backyard.

But before she could take two steps, she was grabbed by Shen Yue.

“Why are you going there?”

What if you see something unpleasant, wouldn’t that taint you?

Looking at the serious expression on her man’s face, Gao Fangxia felt guilty.

“I’ll just go take a look,” she said. “And maybe laugh at Luo Huarong.”

She really couldn’t believe it. Luo Huarong bragged every day about how great her man was in the team, but now, her man had just been locked up for a few days, and it was uncertain whether he would ever get out, and she was already cheating?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue’s face darkened!

“Don’t go! My sister-in-law didn’t go, why are you so enthusiastic?”

Hearing this, Gao Fangxia turned her head and happened to see Shen He retracting his hand from the wall.

Su Ranran, whom he had been protecting, was still a little pale at that moment.

Looking at Shen He’s nervousness, and then at her man’s dark face, Gao Fangxia rolled her eyes, turned around, and ignored him.

Shen Yue: …

Su Ranran, unaware of the quarrel between the couple, now felt a bit strange.

How could Luo Huarong be cheating?

In her previous life, she and the third son of the Li family were a well-known loving couple in the entire village. But whether she had really cheated or if she was caught for some other reason, Su Ranran would never sympathize with her.

After all, her own ruined reputation was partly due to Luo Huarong’s instigation.

Su Ranran had originally planned to find an opportunity to repay her, but she never expected her to fall so easily.

Seeing the rain outside gradually become lighter, she felt even more puzzled.

It seemed that the rain had lasted for seven whole days in her previous life?

And Li Xueqiu’s house had not been struck by lightning!

All of this was happening too unexpectedly. Su Ranran hadn’t had time to do anything. She had just reclaimed her jade, and then one misfortune after another befell the Li family.

Shen He wasn’t interested in what was happening in the backyard. He was more concerned about Su Ranran’s physical state.

The thunder and lightning earlier had indeed been quite frightening.

“Are you okay?” He asked, looking down at her, but then noticed the strange expression on her face. “Is something wrong?”

Hearing this, Su Ranran finally came back to her senses.

Facing his worried eyes, her heart warmed, and she shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s just that there are some things I haven’t figured out yet, but it’s not important.”

Su Ranran didn’t elaborate on her suspicions about Li Xueqiu. After all, she hadn’t fully understood it herself.

Shen He now knew that his wife had an extraordinary fate. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, he didn’t press further.

After confirming she was fine, he sighed in relief.

In the backyard, Luo Huarong was huddled in the corner with disheveled clothes.

The man who had been full of sweet words yesterday was now pointing at her angrily. “She seduced me. She said her man couldn’t come out, and she wanted to find someone to live with.”

Hearing this, Luo Huarong’s face turned pale, and her disbelief was evident. She lost all color.

“It’s truly shameful. She actually did such a thing!” someone spat out in contempt.

No matter what Li Jianjun was like, a cheater would be despised by others.

“I really didn’t expect it. I used to hear her talk about Jianjun all day long, but it turns out she can’t live without a man.” Otherwise, how could she do something like this right after her man was taken away?

The women spoke with scorn.

The men stared at her exposed skin with lecherous eyes.

“Tsk, tsk, although her skin isn’t very fair, it looks slippery enough.”

Someone commented, his voice full of vulgarity.

“I didn’t expect she was so desperate, is Li Jianjun useless?”

Someone guessed maliciously.

Luo Huarong was treated like an object, being criticized from all sides by everyone.

In this conservative era, she had been caught having an affair with a man. How could she ever have a place in the team in the future?

The other two sisters-in-law of the Li family were implicated by her and were also pointed at now. Everyone suspected that they, too, were having affairs with other men in private. The two sisters-in-law were speechless, feeling both ashamed and angry.

The three men of the Li family hadn’t returned yet, but it was already clear that their family would be divided.

Otherwise, how could they face others in the future?

After a while, the anxious Wang Fulai led the militia over.

“Catch them first, and deal with them later!”

In these times, affairs between men and women were a very serious matter. If they were caught, both of them would suffer.

But now that the rain had lightened and rescue was urgent, they could only detain the individuals first and deal with them later.

The militiamen acted quickly, arresting the two in just a few moves. However, the onlookers were reluctant to disperse, following behind, pointing and talking.

The escorted Luo Huarong was like a soulless body, being taken away in a daze.

Su Ranran looked at her miserable appearance with no expression on her face.

She had only herself to blame for what had happened.

In her previous life, she had been pointed at when she went out, and she had played a part in that.

If Shen He hadn’t asked someone to keep an eye on her, she might have been mistreated.

After all, a woman with a bad reputation is like a piece of fat meat in the team, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Shen He’s eyes coldly swept over the tall, thin man who was also being taken away. He was aware of how dirty the man’s eyes had been earlier that day.

Just when Shen He had been planning to deal with him secretly, the man had been caught unexpectedly.

But Shen He didn’t plan on letting him go so easily.

The tall, thin man noticed the icy look and turned his head, meeting Shen He’s cold eyes. The man’s face turned pale, his legs turned to jelly, and he was dragged away by two militiamen like a dead dog.

Luo Huarong was taken away, and the rain outside was getting lighter.

It wasn’t clear if it was because the rain didn’t last long or because the officers and soldiers had built a dam, but this time the flooded area in the village wasn’t as bad as in Su Ranran’s previous life.

As soon as the rain stopped, Shen He found a deserted spot, placed the small thing Su Ranran had given him on the inside of his shoulder, then led a few soldiers, lifted a bamboo raft, and prepared to go out and rescue people.

Other strong men didn’t stand idle either, lifting another bamboo raft to follow.

The less powerful ones simply grabbed sticks and waded through the water, scouting ahead.

After being cooped up for three whole days, they were like birds set free.

Even though they knew many areas outside were flooded, it didn’t stop them from wanting to get some fresh air.

The houses near the rich man Huang’s house were mostly not flooded, but the further they went, the more houses had been submerged. Some people, anxious about their own houses, didn’t care about the water and picked up sticks to head home.

The flood was as murky as muddy water, with flooded houses on both sides. Some houses were still intact, while others had been completely washed away by the heavy rain!

Some people were happy, some were sad, as they made their way through the flooded area.

And just then, a piercing cry came from a distance.

“My house! Why did it become like this?”

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Zhao Meifang screaming at the sky next to a pile of blackened wood!
