Chapter 18

At noon, Jiang Ning prepared lunch at home and waited for her parents-in-law and sister-in-law to come home from work.

It was already past twelve o’clock and half an hour had passed since they got off work, but they still hadn’t returned.

“Why did your parents come back so late today? They haven’t come back yet at this time?” Grandma Ji stood at the gate of the yard, leaning on her crutches, looking towards the end of the field.

“I’ll go and take a look!” Jiang Ning came out of the kitchen and said after hearing what his grandmother said.

“Wait a little longer, maybe he will be back soon.” Grandma Ji said.

“Grandma, let me go take a look. You go back to the house and wait!” Jiang Ning said as he took off the apron from around his waist and handed it to Grandma Ji, then quickly walked towards the gathering point in the west of the village.

Jiang Ning jogged all the way, and when he was almost at the gathering point, he saw a group of people gathered from afar.

Her heart skipped a beat and she quickened her pace to squeeze in.

I saw my parents-in-law and sister-in-law surrounded by several villagers, their faces full of grievance and helplessness.

Ji Yansui’s body was wet, his hair was messy, and there were a few water plants stuck to the ends of his hair. He looked as miserable as he could be.

“Sui Sui, what’s wrong with you?” Jiang Ning walked up and asked with concern.

When Ji Yansui saw Jiang Ning coming, he cried out “Wow” and hid in her arms, “Sister-in-law!”

Seeing this, Jiang Ning gently patted her back, “Don’t cry, don’t cry! My sister-in-law is here! What’s wrong with you?”

Ji Yansui just cried in grievance, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning had no choice but to turn to look at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, “Dad, Mom, what’s going on?”

Tian Yu’s eyes were red, “Sui Sui just fell into the pond next to us…”

It turned out that when the sister-in-law came back to hand over the farm tools, she accidentally fell into a pond nearby, and the village boy Er Laizi jumped into the pond to rescue her.

Er Laizi took the opportunity to hug Ji Yansui underwater. Their clothes were soaked and their bodies were pressed tightly together. The crowd watching on the shore were all talking about it.

Wang Dazui was nosy and said that the physical intimacy between the two was immoral and suggested that Ji Yansui marry Er Laizi.

Er Laizi also took the opportunity to clamor to marry Ji Yansui, but Ji Yansui was unwilling and the two sides started arguing.

Ji Hongzhi and Tian Yufang were both honest people, and they couldn’t win an argument with more than a few others, so they could only sulk in frustration.

“Sister-in-law, I was pushed down on purpose, and I can swim, so I don’t need Er Laizi to save me at all.” Ji Yansui raised his head and said crying.

“Yes, sister-in-law knows.” Jiang Ning said.

Jiang Ning looked around Xizhou, his eyes landing on Er Laizi. He said coldly, “Er Laizi, you said you saved Sui Sui, but Sui Sui can swim on her own. It’s obvious that you took advantage of her.”

Er Laizi stiffened his neck and said, “Everyone saw me jump into the water to save her. If we have physical contact, you have to marry me.”

Jiang Ning sneered, “If you really saved someone, that’s a good thing, but you took the opportunity to flirt with Sui Sui, that’s just being a hooligan.”

“Who are you calling a hooligan? So many people in the village saw it. Besides, I’ve touched her before. Who else would want her if she doesn’t marry me?” Er Laizi said.

“That’s right, I saved someone out of kindness but was accused of being a hooligan. Is that unreasonable?

Besides, we all saw Ji Yansui hugging and embracing Er Laizi in the water.”

At this time, a little girl next to Wang Dazui was twirling her hair with her fingers, speaking for Er Laizi with a look of anticipation.

“Who are you?” Jiang Ning stared at the girl and asked.

“She is Aunt Wang’s daughter, Sun Hehe,” Ji Yansui reminded.

Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She stared at Sun Hehe with a sharp look. As expected, like mother like daughter. This Sun Hehe was not a good person at first glance.

She looked at the onlookers and raised her voice, “We are all from the same village. Our family was pushed down every year. If anyone saw someone doing this, please speak up. We can’t let innocent people suffer, and we can’t let the bad guys succeed.”

At this time, a child in the crowd looked at Sun Hehe and whispered, “I saw it was Sun…”

Before he could finish his words, an adult covered his mouth.

“Hey, Goudan, stop talking nonsense. Which eye of yours saw that it was me who pushed him?” Sun Hehe glared and scolded.

“Let’s go home. We shouldn’t get involved in other people’s affairs.”

Goudan’s mother said this and pulled her son away from the crowd.

Seeing this, Sun Hehe raised a victorious smile and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning then looked at the village chief and said, “Village chief, you have no business in this matter.”

Village chief Qiu was already troubled by the disappearance of his youngest son, so he had no mood to care about such trivial matters.

He waved his hand and said impatiently: “These are just trivial matters, you can discuss and solve them among yourselves.”

Jiang Ning was annoyed, knowing that he couldn’t rely on the village chief and could only find a solution himself.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said loudly, “Since everyone thinks that physical intimacy means responsibility, then I want to ask Er Laizi, do you dare to ask the village doctor to check if there are any scratches on your body from Sui Sui?

If so, it means Sui Sui has resisted, and you are a hooligan; if not, then let’s talk about marriage.”

Er Laizi’s face changed, his eyes were evasive, and he stammered and couldn’t speak.

Seeing this, Sun He He hurried forward and said, “It’s so embarrassing to check it out. Besides, how can we just let people see it?”

Jiang Ning sneered: “You’ve already done it, and you’re still afraid of being checked? If you don’t dare to be checked, it means you have something to hide.”

The crowd began to talk, but Er Laizi and Sun Hehe remained calm. In the countryside, a woman’s reputation is a big deal.

Anyway, Ji Yansui and Er Laizi have already had physical contact, and they are being watched by so many people in the village. Whether Ji Yansui is willing or not, she has to marry Er Laizi.

“Oh, other people keep this kind of thing secret, but you, the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, are here threatening to have a physical examination.

“No matter what, Er Laizi saved your sister-in-law, hugged her, and touched her. What if she doesn’t marry him? Does she have to stay at home like an old maid or become a nun?” Wang Dazui said, pretending to smooth things over.

“Oh, Aunt Wang, according to you, if she went into the water to save someone, even if we had physical contact, does that mean she has to marry me?” Jiang Ning asked with a sneer on his face.

“Of course. Her body has been seen by others. If she doesn’t marry Er Laizi, who in the village will dare to marry her in the future?” Wang Dazui said as if it was a matter of course.

“Well, now that you say that, I know what to do.”

After saying this, Jiang Ning took two steps at a time and walked to Sun Hehe, lifted her collar and threw her into the soup.

“Ah…what are you doing!”

Sun Hehe was horrified and before she could react, she was thrown into the water.

When Jiang Ning threw her into the water, the mini blade on his fingertips took the opportunity to scratch her clothes.

Then she kicked Erlaizi into the pond.

Er Laizi and Sun Hehe were struggling in the water to get ashore. During the process, Er Laizi reached out and pulled Sun Hehe’s clothes, but unexpectedly, Sun Hehe’s clothes were torn into two pieces in an instant.

The moment the spring light appeared, Sun Hehe subconsciously wanted to hide her body so as not to be exposed. She panicked and threw herself into Er Laizi’s arms.

There was no reason to push away a beauty in his arms. Er Laizi was immediately possessed by lust and reached out to hug Sun Hehe and touch her all over.

Everyone on the shore opened their mouths in shock, watching the wonderful scene before them, and forgot to go home for dinner.

Jiang Ning crossed his arms and shouted, “Everyone saw it. They had physical contact. According to Aunt Wang, does Sun He He have to marry Er Lai Zi too?”
