The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 109: The Counterattack [Seeking All Kinds of Votes]

Shitou smiled and said, "Uncle, true love is hard to come by. I don't think anyone would stop you two lovers from being together. When are you going to hold your wedding? You must invite me to have a drink and send me your blessings."

Lu Chengjing was silent for a moment and decided not to fall behind.

He said, "Although I am not good at drinking, I am willing to use water instead of wine. I wish you two happiness."

Everyone: "..."

So you've decided to hold a banquet?!

Both Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gui were so hit by the huge melon that they forgot to cry and just watched the show in a daze.

Seeing Shang Wan and the other three talking incessantly and trying to put the blame on him, the man became so angry that his veins popped out and his eyes almost burst into fire.

I was so angry that I didn't know what to say in rebuttal for a moment.

Faced with the villagers' suspicious and contemptuous eyes, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he closed his eyes and fainted.

"Why are you so happy that you fainted?" Shitou stepped forward to support the man and pinched his philtrum, "Uncle, wake up, your happiness is just ahead."

The man had just been woken up by the choke, and then he fainted again because of Shi Tou's words.

"It seems my uncle is too excited and won't wake up for a while."

The stone let go and the man's head hit the ground with a bang. He seemed not to hear it and greeted the villagers.

"Please help me send my uncle back. I have to pursue his happiness when he wakes up."

The two people called by Shitou came forward and helped carry the person away.

Of course, Shang Wan's family's nonsense was also dutifully passed on to the ears of the man's family, which immediately caused a lot of chaos and attracted a lot of people to watch.

Looking at the wooden shed, the villagers who were still digesting the big melon had almost forgotten what they were here for. They were eager to share the melon as soon as possible.

"Mom!" Gui quietly pinched the soft flesh on Old Lady Gao's arm, and said, "Don't forget the important things!"

Old Mrs. Gao looked at Shang Wan secretly with her cloudy old eyes. This woman was more troublesome than she thought.

She straightened her face and asked, "Lu Xiucai, what is your explanation for the beating?"

"Madam, did you hit someone?" Lu Chengjing looked at Shang Wan in surprise.

Shang Wan shook his head decisively, "No."

Gui pointed at her own face and said, "Everyone has seen it. You can't deny it!"

"Auntie, please don't spit blood on me." Shang Wan blinked and glanced at everyone, "Who saw it? Stand up and let me see."

Everyone looked at each other.

They all only heard Gui's shouting and did not see Shang Wan take action with their own eyes.

Gui was anxious, "If she didn't beat me, could it be that I beat myself into this state?"

"Aunt, you're talking as if I'm the only living person in the village who can breathe." Shang Wan's face gradually turned cold. "I don't think I have any grudge against you, and I've always been polite to everyone. If you insist that I beat you, please show me the evidence. Don't blame me for being angry with you for your empty slander!"

How can Gui produce evidence?

I had no choice but to turn to my mother-in-law for help.

Old Lady Gao snorted, "My daughter-in-law is honest and loyal, and she has never lied since she was a child. The scar on her face couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Why didn't she say that someone else hit her, but instead identified you, the scholar's wife?"

The villagers felt that this made some sense.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Shang Wan sighed softly, looked at Gui and said, "Aunt, I was kind enough to conceal it for you, but you turned the tables on me. Now don't blame me for breaking my promise."

"Xiao Huan, roll up your sleeves for everyone to see."

Xiaohuan obediently rolled up her sleeves and stretched them out for everyone to see.

"Huh——" Everyone gasped.

I saw that the originally fair arms were covered with blue and purple scars, which, judging from their shapes, must have been caused by beatings with sticks.

"Aunt, I saw Gao Qi beating you, so I stepped forward to stop him. I didn't expect Gao Qi to beat me too." Xiao Huan sobbed with tears in her eyes, "You cried and begged me not to tell others, saying that Gao Qi hadn't married yet and that I couldn't let rumors spread that he was a hit man."

"I thought it was not easy for you, Auntie, and since you begged me repeatedly, I softened my heart and agreed. I will just pretend that this incident never happened and not even tell my family."

Crystal clear tears fell one by one, and Xiaohuan cried with a trembling voice, "Aunt, I helped you after all, how can you repay kindness with hatred?"

This is quite informative.

Some villagers were skeptical, while others were curious.

"Madam Gui, could it be that Gao Qi also caused the injury on your face?"

"I think it's probably true. His own mother was beaten, so Gao Qi should at least help her get justice, right? Now there's no sign of him, who knows where he went to sleep after beating her up."

"That bastard actually dared to hit his own mother! Madam Gui, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Everyone was talking at the same time, and the conversation was so intense that Gui had no chance to interrupt.

Shang Wan saw that the time was almost right, so he reached out to wipe away Xiao Huan's tears and sighed to everyone:

"My sister is a fool. Not only is she soft-hearted, but she is also honest. She believes everything others say. She didn't even tell me or her brother-in-law when she was beaten. It was only after I realized something was wrong and forced her to ask a few questions that she finally told me the truth."

She glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Gao family and said, "I never thought that my kindness would be taken for granted. Not only did some people not appreciate her kindness, but they also wanted to tarnish her reputation and push her into the fire pit."

Don't make the point too obvious.

"It's obvious that this little bitch seduced my son!" Gui hurriedly defended herself to the villagers, "Don't believe their lies. My Gao Qi is the most filial. He even gave me one of the bird eggs he got from the tree. How could he possibly hit his own mother?"

"If Gao Qi was really filial, why would he sit at home all day doing nothing and relying on his parents for support?"

Shang Wan looked at Gui with sympathy, "Aunt, I know what you are planning. You want to pin the injury Gao Qi inflicted on you on me, and then use what happened by the river to force me to marry my sister into your Gao family."

"You're talking nonsense!" Gui looked as if she had seen a ghost. How did this woman know what she and her mother-in-law were planning?

As long as Xiaohuan's reputation is ruined, whether she likes it or not, she will eventually fall into the hands of her son. By then, all the beatings she suffered at the hands of Shang Wan can be taken back by Xiaohuan, her daughter-in-law!

"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not." Shang Wan seemed to be looking at a poor person who was stubborn and unrepentant. His eyes were full of sympathy, but his tone gradually became colder.

"Aunt, your plan is a good one, but we are not soft persimmons that can be easily manipulated. The worst that can happen is that we will take the case to court. I am still angry about what happened today. I will sue Gao Qi for molesting a woman with the intention of raping her!"

Shitou chimed in, "If the charges are proven, the minimum sentence would be eighty strokes of the cane. Tsk tsk, your butt will be chopped to pieces. If the case is more serious, you could be sentenced to death by hanging, and you'll lose your life there."
