Chapter 571: The Original Female Lead’s Counterattack 6
Yuan Chun slapped her again and spat at her, "Peh, just because you’re older than me, you think you can slander me whenever you want. But when I tell the truth, it’s not allowed? Would you dare swear that you haven’t been with another man and that your kids aren’t illegitimate?"
"You... you’re trying to drive me to death. I’ve lived for decades, and I’ve never wronged my husband. You’re trying to destroy my whole family. My reputation..."
"Oh, so when I speak the truth, I’m trying to drive you to death? You slander me and I have to endure it? Am I supposed to repay your evil with kindness, offer you the other cheek after you slap one?"
Slap slap slap...
Yuan Chun gave a dozen slaps in a row.
The village chief’s wife’s face was swollen.
The brigade leader got anxious and shouted to a few village women, "What are you standing around for watching the show? Go and separate them."
One woman trembled with fear, not daring to step forward, "Brigade Leader, has Xia Zhiqing gone mad? She must be driven insane by Doggie’s mom. I don’t dare go up there, what if she gets so carried away with hitting that she hits me too?"
"Brigade Leader, could it be true that Mrs. Quan really cheated?"
"Actually, none of Daquan’s siblings look anything like the village chief."
"Sha Er has been a fool since birth. Back then, the county doctor seemed to say that Sha Er had a hereditary disease, but Mrs. Quan didn’t believe it. She even scolded that doctor, calling him a quack, and made such a fuss that she forced the doctor to compensate her ten yuan. Looking back now, that doctor from the county hospital was legitimate, could he have been wrong? Sha Er’s foolishness might indeed be genetic."
"Oh my, if that’s the case, has the village chief really been cuckolded for decades?" The chief’s family doesn’t have any hereditary fool disease.
"In our village, only Wang Qiang’s mom had madness, and they say Wang Qiang’s grandmother was born foolish."
"I know this. Wang Qiang’s grandma was picked up by his grandpa from outside. She was already a fool when he found her, and she would hit people."
"Why are you talking about Mrs. Quan and then about Wang Qiang’s mom? Could Sha Er have inherited Wang Qiang’s mom’s madness?"
The previously lively gossip suddenly quieted.
The women looked at each other as if they had discovered something monumental.
Yuan Chun had stopped hitting, as if she had exhausted all her strength. She fell to the ground and suddenly burst into tears.
"It’s too much, it’s too much bullying, boo hoo. We young intellectuals traveled so far to help you build the farm and contribute to the new rural development. Yet you want to push me to death, boo hoo... I have considered myself to have worked hard and sincerely in Fengshui Village without dragging you down or offending anyone. Why do you slander me? I am a person, too. I am an unmarried girl, and you slander my reputation. Can I still face anyone? Can I still live? Have you considered that due to your words, this young life might be driven to death by you? How is this different from being a murderer?"
"Boo hoo, Brigade Leader, I am so wronged, so wronged. I never thought that such a good girl like me would have dirt thrown on me like this. Brigade Leader, just tell me, what are you going to do about today’s matter? If you don’t give me a fair resolution, I’ll report this to the educated youth department and the commune."
