Chapter 2: It’s not easy to deceive

Two people stood there after being reborn.

A man with strong features, tall and with a sturdy build, was wearing a racer vest and a washed white shirt.

The shirt seemed a little too small, and through the fabric, you could feel the strong muscles underneath.

This was Gu Dongqing. He didn’t have a good reputation. Shiliba Village was famous for him being a rough-and-tumble guy, the type who would kick any passing dog into the river if it annoyed him.

The other one, with slightly thinner facial features, was also wearing a clean, washed, almost new shirt.

But he was a head shorter than Gu Dongqing. His figure was also much thinner, and he was only as big as Gu Dongqing. This was Dong Chengcai.

Brother Dong, are you twenty-eight now? It’s time to find someone to start a family,” Dong Chengcai persuaded the neighbor next door with a gentle smile on his face. “You see, I’m still three years younger than you, but I’m already married. Maybe I’ll be a father soon.

Then you will be the oldest bachelor in the town. The reputation of an old bachelor isn’t good, is it?”

Chengcai looked like he was thinking about him.

Gu Dongqing crossed his arms and tugged at his thin lips, “I can’t find the right one.”

Are you lying? I heard that Widow Liu is interested in you and has come to see you several times in the middle of the night.”

“Heh…” Gu Dongqing sneered and looked up at the door of Dong’s house. Rather than being hypocritical with Dong Chengcai, it would be better to watch a show.

Dong Chengcai was about to say something when an exclamation came from not far away, “Oh, this little girl from the Dong family, how could you do something to your sister-in-law?”

Although she is from the countryside, her family is not as poor as yours. But after all, she married into your Dong family. She is already a member of your family and your sister-in-law.”

Yeah, it’s not appropriate for you, a sister-in-law, to chase your sister-in-law with a knife!”

Dong Chengcai thought at first that he had heard wrongly.

Gu Dongqing’s voice rang above his head again, “Chengcai, women in your family are not inferior to men!”

Dong Chengcai reluctantly looked at the door of his home.

Jiang Mingyue was supported by the aunt next door and stood behind the crowd.

Dong Yumei held a hatchet and stood arrogantly at the entrance of the courtyard, pointing at and cursing those who came forward to break up the fight.

She demanded they hand over Jiang Mingyue. Someone stopped her, and she pointed the hatchet at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue, you bitch, if I don’t kill you today, I won’t be a human being.

Jiang Mingyue was thin, but had black hair, which was usually neatly braided, but now it was hanging down messily.

The ends of the hair seemed to have been cut with a knife, making them less neat.

After hearing Dong Yumei’s words, she raised her hand to tuck her hanging hair behind her ears, then slowly raised her head, revealing her scratched face.

Her skin was fair and left marks easily. With a slight scratch, the blood stains on the fair cheek were very shocking.

“Yumei…”

As soon as she started speaking, the tears that had been swirling in her eyes fell out.

When the aunties nearby saw this, they called him evil!

I said Dong Yumei, you girl is really spoiled by your parents, and you are so cruel to your sister-in-law!”

Yes, in most of my life, this is the first time I have heard of someone’s sister-in-law. My sister-in-law was beaten to death, and she wanted to kill her with a knife.”

The neighbors said something to each other, and Dong Yumei was even more angry.

She always had a temper that exploded at the slightest point, but now she was indiscriminate and insulted them regardless of the identity of the person speaking.

That posture was no different from a shrew cursing!

When Dong Chengcai saw this, he didn’t care what to say to Gu Dongqing anymore.

He raised his feet and ran forward, pushing through the crowd and coming to Dong Yumei’s side.

Yumei, what are you doing? Give me the knife quickly.”

Brother, you are finally back. Go and beat that bitch Jiang Mingyue to death. She dared to hit me just now.”

“I didn’t.”

Jiang Mingyue holding her cheek, she looked at Dong Chengcai with tears in her eyes, “I didn’t hit Yumei.”

She asked me to cook when she came back. I was feeling a little unwell and moved a little slower, so she got angry and beat and scolded her.

I even smashed up my house…”

Jiang Mingyue looked soft, and her voice was soft when she spoke. Her image has always been one that can be manipulated by anyone.

Dong Chengcai knew this very well. Therefore, he did not believe Dong Yumei’s words.

But in front of outsiders, he couldn’t put all the blame on Yumei’s head, otherwise, the Dong family’s reputation would be lost.

Dong Chengcai took a breath and then said, “Mingyue, Yumei is still a child. She has just been spoiled by us since she was a child, and her temper is a bit short-tempered, but she has no bad intentions. You don’t want to be like her.”

No bad intentions?

Jiang Mingyue listened to Dong Chengcai’s words and sneered in her heart. In her previous life, she might have believed Dong Chengcai’s words. After all, he had a face that was easy to deceive. But it’s a pity that she is no longer the Jiang Mingyue who let Dong Chengcai fool her in her previous life.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her eyes, tears rolling down her eyes. She bit her lip tightly and didn’t say a word. She shed silent tears at this moment, which was even more touching.

Gu Dongqing, who was leaning against his door and watching the show with his arms folded, clicked his tongue and couldn’t stand it anymore.

“I said, Chengcai.”

A low, somewhat indifferent tone sounded, “Let’s not talk about what happened. Just the fact that the younger brother-in-law committed the crime and chased the sister-in-law with a knife is enough to shock the world, right?

If you don’t handle this well, if Uncle Dong’s competitors find out, you may become a pain point for Uncle Dong!”

Gu Dongqing’s words seemed to be trying to persuade Dong Chengcai for the sake of the Dong family.

But if you listen carefully, it feels like it is being advertised widely. Neighbors who have a grudge against the Dong family.

There is such a big scandal in the Dong family. If they don’t take action quickly, what are they waiting for?

Jiang Mingyue heard this pun. She subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Dongqing at the door.

Unexpectedly, her eyes met those bottomless eyes.

Those eyes seem to be able to see through people’s souls! Jiang Mingyue avoided her eyes and quickly lowered her eyes.

Gu Dongqing put the tip of his tongue against his back molars and clicked his tongue again. This new daughter-in-law of the Dong family is quite good at playing…

Dong Chengcai was stunned by Gu Dongqing’s words, his face was a little embarrassed and he didn’t know how to react.

Dong Yumei was the first to react. She cried and walked towards Gu Dongqing, trying to find comfort from Gu Dongqing.

Brother Dong, it wasn’t me who hit her, she hit me first. I didn’t even touch her. Really, you know my brother Dong, I am the most timid.

I usually wouldn’t even step on an ant to death. How could I possibly hit someone…”

Brother Dong, believe me.

He reached out and grabbed Gu Dongqing, regardless of whether anyone was watching.

Gu Dongqing stood up straight and avoided Dong Yumei’s touch. Dong Yumei, who wanted to grab his arm, didn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.

But even so, Gu Dongqing still stretched out his hand and flicked the corner of his clothes, speaking calmly and nonchalantly.

What a coincidence. At the beginning of the year, I saw you throw Aunt Zhang’s gray puppy into the manure pit and drown it.

Last month, Grandma Liu’s female cat who was about to give birth was also kicked from the bridge into the river by you.”

“Now you say you didn’t hit her?”

Gu Dongqing’s eyes stayed on Jiang Mingyue’s face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, “Did she scratch her face by herself?”

After saying this, he asked Jiang Mingyue again, “What are you trying to do?”
