Su Peilan cried out in despair, "Do you think I wanted this? I'm also the daughter of an honest family, and I feel disgusted with myself. If you were tormented and humiliated by a man every day, what would you do! You're just lucky to have met Xiao Shan! If you had met Chen Dong, you might be even more pathetic than me!"
"But I didn't meet Chen Dong. If I had, either he would die, or I would die! As for Xiao Shan, you're not allowed to even touch a corner of his clothes!"
"You, you..." Su Peilan glared at Xue Niang hatefully, "How can you be so domineering? A capable man wouldn't be tied to just one..."
"Xiao Shan must be tied to me alone! Go find someone else, and don't have any designs on him. Get out!"
"Fine, if you won't let me live, I won't let you live well either!" A look of desperation flashed in Su Peilan's eyes. She picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it towards her own stomach. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xue Niang didn't understand what she was doing, but instinctively, she reached out to block it. Although Su Peilan was several steps away, something miraculous happened. The stone flew out of Su Peilan's hand and was flung away with Xue Niang's movement.
Su Peilan had been staring at Xue Niang. Her hand suddenly missed, and her fierce expression froze. She looked at Xue Niang's eyes as if she had seen a ghost.
What was that just now? A red light flashed in her eyes.
A monster, she's a monster?
"Ah—"
Su Peilan screamed and turned to run, as if being chased by a dog.
Xue Niang touched her eyes. She had only been thinking "Don't smash it!" and the stone had indeed flown out.
She felt that her eyes had indeed been unusual at that moment. Thinking of Su Peilan's terrified expression, she wondered if something was wrong.
Just then, the grass nearby rustled.
"Come out!" Xue Niang's sharp command echoed.
As a result, two people emerged, not from the same spot, indicating they were not together.
One was a child looking at Xue Niang with hatred, and the other was a young man with an awkward expression.
Xue Niang remembered the child. He had been crying with snot bubbles, which was particularly disgusting, so she had a deep impression of him. He was the son of the deceased Tian Luhua.
Now the snot bubbles were gone, but he was a whole circle thinner than before, and his clothes were as dirty as a beggar's.
"Bad woman!"
He ran out of the grass, threw a stone at Xue Niang, and ran away stomping his feet.
The stone hit Xue Niang's knee, and she gasped and bent over in pain.
"Mrs. Xiao, are you alright?"
The young man came over from the other side. He was carrying several pumpkins, and his right leg was limping as he walked.
Xue Niang knew who he was.
His eyes were very similar to Wang Xiulan's, with single eyelids. His mouth and nose, however, resembled his father's, and his build was sturdier than his father's.
"Are you Sister Xiulan's son?"
The young man was startled. "Ah? Ah, yes, yes, I am Wang Hai."
She called her mother Sister Xiulan. She clearly looked younger than him, so did he have to call her Aunt?
"Were you hiding here just now?"
"Ah, I, I just, it wasn't intentional." Wang Hai was uneasy. He hadn't been out for a long time, and when he saw people, he instinctively hid. Who would have thought he would overhear something he shouldn't have.
"So Chen Dong's wife turned out to be like this. I won't say anything about this. Xiao Shan, Big Brother is someone I admire. She's not worthy of tarnishing his reputation."
He had always heard his parents talk about the two of them. Xiao Shan had killed the entire Tian family, and Wang Hai had already regarded him as a savior in his heart.
"Mm." Xue Niang thought for a moment. She had been facing Chen Dong's wife, with her back to him and Tian Luhua's son. They should not have seen her eyes.
"Mm, Mrs. Xiao, here are some pumpkins for you. My mother said you like to eat them."
The pumpkins were not very big. Wang Hai carried four or five. Xue Niang took two. "Thank you!"
She did like them. Xiao Shan also made pumpkin cakes, which were sweet.
Wang Hai lowered his head, not daring to look at her. He had always heard his mother praise Mrs. Xiao as beautiful as a fairy, but he hadn't believed it. No matter how beautiful a woman was, coming to this poor Bozi Village would turn her into a haggard housewife. But seeing her now, he felt his mother hadn't exaggerated at all.
And her voice was also pleasant, clear and bright, like the flowing springs and streams in the mountains.
Su Peilan was in a panic. She even stumbled on the road, her hair messy, her hairpins lost somewhere. When she saw the village chief leading a group of people, she ran towards them as if she had found a lifeline.
"Village chief, village chief, a monster! There's a monster!"
"Chen Dong's wife, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Village chief, there really is a monster. Xiao Shan's wife is not human, she's a monster! I saw it with my own eyes, she can perform magic, it's too terrifying, too terrifying..."
The scene fell silent. The dozen or so villagers surrounding the village chief all changed their expressions. The village chief was so angry that he roared on the spot, "Shut up! I think you've gone mad. Go call Chen Dong and take his wife back!"
The village chief shouted to the villagers, and someone immediately ran towards Chen Dong's house.
"Village chief, I'm not crazy, really, it's true! Her eyes glow, she must be a monster from the mountains. The Taoist priest also said before that she was a snake spirit transformed!"
"Hurry up and shut up! Look at yourself, what else could you be if not a lunatic?"
Da Shuanzi cursed Su Peilan. He was also puzzled. He used to think she was quite good-looking, and he had secretly thought about her at night. Now, why had she become like this?
"Yes! Hurry home! Don't disgrace yourself here." The villagers chimed in.
This is true! Why doesn't anyone believe me! Su Peilan was about to collapse.
That's right, she must have been bewitched by that woman.
Including Xiao Shan, he was also bewitched by her. After marriage, women only become uglier. She had never seen a woman who became more beautiful. She must have absorbed Xiao Shan's vital energy to have such glowing skin and become more radiant.
"Sister-in-law, please stop causing trouble, okay! My Big Brother Xiao Shan still needs to take us up the mountain! Your family is rich and has no shortage of food and clothing, so don't block our way of making a living!" Xiao Si'er directly reached out to push her.
Su Peilan screamed, "I said she's a monster! A monster! She's a monster!"
She's really gone mad!
With this frenzied appearance, she was nowhere near normal.
"She's coming, she's coming! Monster, monster..."
Su Peilan nervously hid behind Xiao Si'er. Xiao Si'er disdainfully pulled her out, and she hid behind the village chief again.
Everyone looked ahead. A delicate figure was approaching. How could this be a monster? What monster looked this beautiful?
This was the thought in everyone's mind.
Wang Hai suddenly saw a group of people standing in the middle of the road, all looking this way, as if they were waiting for them. For a moment, he couldn't walk any further, and he lowered his head, walking slower and slower.
Xue Niang looked back, "What? Can't walk anymore?"
"Brother Hai!" Xiao Si'er greeted Wang Hai first. He hadn't seen Brother Hai for a long time, and he was walking with Mrs. Xiao, which made him envious.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to pick pumpkins?"
"Mm." Xue Niang saw the group of people blocking the road and then saw Su Peilan peeking out from behind the village chief with a look of terror, so she knew what was going on.
However, the villagers actually believed her words so much and gathered so many people to block her?
