Chapter 7 Isn’t it just acting? She can also

Zhu Sanni, sitting on the ground, looked at He Wanqing’s appearance and her heart skipped a beat. Damn it, could she have been exposed? Otherwise, why would the originally docile and easy-to-bully person suddenly become like this? It was as if… yes, it was as if a ghost had been reborn. Suddenly, her back jolted, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Afraid that the family’s secret would be exposed, Zhu Sanni had no intention of arguing with her anymore. She got up, supporting herself on the wall, and stumbled out: “Humph, you said it yourself, I’m going to ask your grandfather later, is it you who’s in charge of your He family now? Otherwise, why would he set up the marriage, and you say you won’t marry, so you won’t marry?”

Her steps were hurried, as if she were rushing to be reincarnated. He Wanqing narrowed her eyes and watched Zhu Sanni leave. She was about to sit down and rest, recalling some things, and suddenly understood the meaning behind Zhu Sanni’s words. He Wanqing didn’t sit down anymore. She stood up and walked, fiercely hitting her face with her hand until it was swollen before stopping.

“Xu’s wife, Xu’s wife, don’t be angry, I won’t dare to do it again, don’t be angry, I believe Weijun didn’t find anyone else.” She stumbled out of the house, and as she expected, the damn Zhu Sanni was talking to the old women in the village. Thinking about the bad things that came out of her mouth, she pinched her thigh with one hand and covered her face with the other, crying and explaining. Her words were one part truth and nine parts lie, only her tears were real!

“Xu’s wife, I told you, I know I was wrong, I won’t be lazy anymore. You’ve hit me, you’ve scolded me, don’t be angry anymore, don’t tell Brother Weijun that I didn’t help you with spring planting.” Ugh~ He Wanqing, who was pinching her nose and forcing herself to explain behind her, felt a wave of nausea. Thinking about the words coming out of her mouth, if she wasn’t outside, she would have wanted to wash her mouth out with water.

“You’re full of shit, didn’t you say you didn’t like my Weijun? You even said that my Weijun is just a smelly gatekeeper, what’s so good about him? And, who hit who? Everyone take a good look, look at my face, and look at my finger, it was almost broken by this little bitch.” Zhu Sanni retorted without hesitation. But everyone wasn’t blind, she said that she was hit by He Wanqing? But everyone saw that it was He Wanqing’s face that was swollen with five finger marks, while her face didn’t have a single finger mark. As for her saying that her finger was broken, that was even more ridiculous. And the words about not liking her son, who was a gatekeeper at the machinery factory. You know, He Wanqing’s marriage was arranged by He’s grandfather, she was the most filial and obedient to He’s grandfather, how could she possibly say that? It was probably because she was thinking about the recent rumors in the village, and no one in the He family explained, so she deliberately came to make trouble.

A few of He Wanqing’s relatives were in the crowd, and after thinking for a moment, one went to the brigade headquarters to find someone, while another spoke up to question her: “Zhu Sanni, you said that Wanqing hit you and disliked your Weijun, do you have any witnesses? We’re not all blind, it’s clearly Wanqing’s face that was swollen from your beating, how dare you twist the truth?”

“That’s right, Wanqing isn’t like you said, if you want to bully the child, just say it, don’t beat around the bush? Or is it that your family is really like the rumors say, you don’t want to marry Wanqing, so you’re trying to ruin her reputation?”

“Yeah, Wanqing isn’t that kind of person, you can’t talk nonsense.”

“Wanqing, how did your face get beaten like that? Poor thing, are you alone at home?”

……

Listening to the questions, He Wanqing, covering her face with her hands, choked back a sob: “Xu’s wife, I know you don’t like me, the reason why you let Xu Weijun marry me is because my father’s comrade is the factory director at the machinery factory, and he wanted my father to find a connection for him to get promoted. But I just said, I agree to the wedding date your family set, and I even agreed to not get a marriage certificate, why did you still hit me? I know everyone is busy with spring planting, and I didn’t go to your house to help, it was my fault. But during spring planting, my family was busy too! My grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, they all went to the field, even my pregnant sister-in-law went to the field. I can’t just leave my own family’s business and go to your house to work, can I? I already apologized, and I also agreed to your family not giving a dowry or a watch and a sewing machine, why do you still have to hit me? Is it because my father didn’t help Xu Weijun get promoted and transferred to a better place this time? But didn’t I explain? You also said you know, after all, the machinery factory isn’t run by my family, it’s not like my father can do whatever he wants. And, the machinery factory is such a serious place, if he couldn’t handle the hardship, your Xu Weijun shouldn’t have gone there in the first place. I just spoke a few truths, after all, my father and his comrade don’t have that much power, but you shouldn’t have hit me!”

She spoke quickly, interrupting Zhu Sanni before she could speak, and seeing that she was about to speak again, she continued: “Xu’s wife, if you really don’t want to marry me into your family, then forget about the wedding date you mentioned! There are a lot of rumors in the brigade lately, you see if there’s anyone you like, when Xu Weijun comes back, you let him marry her, don’t let an outsider make you uncomfortable.”

Her eyes were dim, tears streaming down her swollen face, and the words she said, anyone who saw it wouldn’t feel sorry for her. Zhu Sanni clutched her chest and gasped for breath, she wanted to reach out and point at her, but remembering her almost broken finger, she retracted her hand.

“You’re full of shit, it was clearly you who hit me, your future mother-in-law, and said you didn’t want to marry my Weijun, when did I say I didn’t like you? And about the dowry, when did I say I wasn’t preparing those things? Ugh~ When did our family say we wanted to buy a watch and a sewing machine for you, don’t flatter yourself. You’re not a rich girl from the city, what kind of daydreams are you having?”

She said this with disdain, and just as she was about to spit, a question entered her ears. “Xu’s wife, since you’re not keeping your word, were you also lying when you cleared the rumors about Xu Weijun? So, your Xu Weijun really was hooking up with someone else while he was engaged to me???”

Her eyes were red, her lips were slightly bitten, her face was pale, and she looked at her as if she was going to faint the next second.

“How is that possible, every word I said is true, my Weijun has never had those kinds of thoughts, he’s been thinking about you since he got engaged to you.” Afraid of being exposed, Zhu Sanni hurriedly shook her head in explanation, but her appearance was a bit scary. Coupled with He Wanqing’s weak body from fear, it made people believe that she wasn’t the one who was beaten, but He Wanqing.
