"She just wants to frame me," Er Zhu nodded, his gaze towards the still ranting Wang Xiaoli turning cold.
This woman had reached such a point of shamelessness that he wouldn't stop her. She would soon reap what she sowed!
A flicker of light flashed in Er Zhu's eyes as he saw a scene several kilometers away.
A seductive woman was swaying her hips as she walked towards Shiliu Village. Others might not recognize her, but Wang Xiaoli knew her very well!
"Second Aunt, you must help me seek justice. I've only been away for a few years, how could Er Zhu have become like this?"
Meanwhile, seeing that most of the villagers had gathered, Wang Xiaoli clutched Sun Er Niang's hand and wept pitifully.
"Xiaoli, is what you're saying true? Er Zhu... he's not that kind of person, is he?"
Looking at Wang Xiaoli's pitiable state, Sun Er Niang's scales of judgment began to tip. She wanted to believe Er Zhu, but she also knew that a woman wouldn't joke about her own chastity.
If she dared to speak of it, it must be true!
"Of course, look, I still have a hickey on my neck," Wang Xiaoli said shamelessly, pointing to a red mark on her neck.
This hickey was, of course, not from Er Zhu. It was from a factory boss Wang Xiaoli had met after returning home!
After years away, how could she adapt to village life? For a better life, she had returned to her old profession.
Being a mistress to a rich man!
"Oh my, cover it up quickly, cover it up! I'm so embarrassed!"
Seeing the red mark on Wang Xiaoli's neck, Sun Er Niang and some other villagers quickly covered their faces, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground out of shame!
The mark was large and red, indicating how intense their encounter had been!
"Second Aunt, this might be true. Don't forget, Er Zhu has quite a few beautiful women around him!"
"That's right, people say men change when they get rich. Er Zhu, no matter what, he's still a normal man!"
"Exactly, Xiaoli is also the village beauty, and Er Zhu is about the same age. It's quite normal for something like this to happen."
...
A few village women gathered, whispering and discussing. Hearing these words, Wang Xiaoli wiped away her tears and looked at Er Zhu with a triumphant expression, as if to say, See? I've won this round for sure.
Er Zhu smiled slightly, standing with his arms crossed, and slowly said, "Don't get too pleased with yourself yet. The truth will come out soon."
"Everyone, look! Even now, he's still threatening me! What 'truth will come out'? What I said is the truth!"
Seeing that Er Zhu was not only unafraid but was still threatening her, Wang Xiaoli instantly perked up. Pointing at Er Zhu, she furiously cursed.
"Wang Er Zhu, you scoundrel! I was wondering where my daughter went every night. So she was with you!"
Before the villagers could react, Wang Er Shen rushed in with a cleaver. Her face was pale, and her eyes blazed with anger!
Ever since her daughter returned home, Wang Er Shen had felt something was amiss. She had even followed her a few times but lost her. She had intended to question her daughter, but unexpectedly, this had happened!
"Aunt Er, have you gone senile? Er Zhu was out of town these past few days. How could he have been with Xiaoli?"
"Exactly, Er Zhu is a decent person. He definitely wouldn't let a woman disrupt important matters!"
...
Just as Wang Er Shen was about to continue her tirade, Sun Er Niang and the others seemed to have discovered something and questioned her with confusion.
"Mom, stop talking. Hurry up and go back!" Wang Xiaoli also seemed to realize something and pushed Wang Er Shen outward.
She had finally succeeded; she couldn't let her mother's words expose everything!
Wang Er Shen was also stunned. The more she thought about it, the more something felt off. Suddenly, a flash of realization made her cover her mouth in horror!
Her daughter was deliberately framing Er Zhu!
"Xiaoli, you can't do this. Er Zhu is the village head, and he's good friends with the town mayor!" Wang Er Shen pulled Wang Xiaoli aside and whispered in warning.
"It's precisely because of his influence that I said this! He was the one who fired me. Offend me, Wang Xiaoli, and I'll ruin your reputation!"
Wang Xiaoli was startled. Since her mother had guessed her intentions, she saw no need to hide it any longer. She glared fiercely at Er Zhu, gritting her teeth.
"That's not good either! Er Zhu is very rich. You definitely can't win against him!" Wang Er Shen's eyes darted around, still uneasy, and she said with concern again.
In fact, Wang Er Shen also hated Er Zhu to the bone, but Er Zhu was too powerful. Even if she wanted to deal with him, she didn't know how.
"Heh, if he gives me money, that would be even better. I can send him to jail!"
As soon as Wang Er Shen finished speaking, Wang Xiaoli let out a cold laugh, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
If Er Zhu didn't give her money, it would at most be moral condemnation. But if he truly wanted to settle it with money, the nature of the matter would change entirely!
At that point, whatever she said would be the truth. If Er Zhu didn't end up in prison for ten or eight years, she wouldn't be Wang!
Wang Xiaoli's eyes darted around restlessly. She was even beginning to plan how to make Er Zhu pay.
Er Zhu, standing to the side, watched her like a fool. He was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Give him money? Only if he reverted to being an idiot...
"Wang Xiaoli, you damn slut!"
Just as Wang Xiaoli was contemplating how to make Er Zhu pay, a woman's scream suddenly came from the doorway. She turned her head to curse, but the person before her made her choke, unable to utter a word.
How could Qian Yun's wife have found her way here!
It was tens of thousands of miles away from Huabei City!
*Slap!*
As Wang Xiaoli was shocked, a loud slap echoed, leaving a clear finger imprint on Wang Xiaoli's face.
"Who are you, daring to cause trouble in our village? Are you looking for death?"
The confused villagers, seeing an outsider bullying one of their own, felt their anger surge. Especially the village women like Sun Er Niang, who picked up bricks and were about to charge forward.
"I am Qian Yun's wife, Liu Rumei. This little vixen seduced my husband, shouldn't I teach her a lesson?"
Liu Rumei glanced at her trembling hand, then glared furiously at Wang Xiaoli, gritting her teeth and shouting.
At these words, the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at Wang Xiaoli in disbelief. Even Wang Er Shen found it incredible!
Her hard-earned college student daughter had become a mistress!
"You slut, did you think I wouldn't find you just because you came home? Today, I will spread the word throughout your village about what you've done! I will ruin your reputation!"
Liu Rumei grabbed Wang Xiaoli's collar, shouting every word.
