Lin Anguo also felt a bit awkward, but his first reaction was to scold Ning Lu: “What are you doing? Have you no shame! How can you bully Ning Yue like this? She’s your cousin after all!
If you ruin us, what good will it do you? These are nothing but mosquito bites… just scraping therapy! Your filthy mind sees everything as dirty!”
Ning Lu smiled.
“Since you refuse to admit it and still want to play innocent, I’ll just let everyone see it again!”
She suddenly yanked down Lin Anguo’s pants!
His underwear was exposed—and shockingly, there was a “Yue” embroidered on the back!
The villagers’ eyes widened as they went wild gossiping and watching the drama unfold.
“My god, does this mean Lin Anguo and Ning Yue are together? Is that why Ning Lao Da’s family is trying to force Ning Lu’s mother and daughter to death?”
“That must be it! Otherwise, why didn’t Ning Lao Er ever say Ning Lu wasn’t his child before? Now that he’s dead, Ning Lao Da suddenly jumps out with all this?”
“Exactly! And Lin Anguo even testified before, but everyone knows how good Ning Lu used to treat him. He grew up without a father, and Ning Lu helped take care of his sick mother, doing everything at home and outside. Even if it’s true, Lin Anguo is still disgusting.”
Lin Anguo’s face burned red, his eyes filled with killing intent!
At this moment, whatever faint attachment or reluctance he once had toward Ning Lu was completely gone.
She forced his hand!
So Lin Anguo loudly said, “Yes! I was indeed with Ning Yue, but that was all because Ning Lu forced me! She bullied her cousin all the time, so I was just compensating Ning Yue!
Besides, what man would marry a bastard? A fat woman uglier than a pig?”
Lin Anguo looked at Ning Lu with contempt, hoping to see her collapse in pain and despair.
But Ning Lu only sneered: “If you didn’t like me, you could have ended the engagement. Instead, you took my money and let me work for your family, while secretly hooking up with Ning Yue! And you still call that compensation?
What did your parents do in those three minutes it took to conceive you? They really shouldn’t have had you!
Lin Anguo, you open your mouth and slander me, saying I’m not from the Ning family—then can I say you not only slept with Ning Yue, but at night you even shared a bed with your own mother because you’re so filthy and desperate?
When you came to the Ning family, did you also secretly peek at Ning Yue’s mother bathing? In the future, will your child be your mother’s grandson or your mother’s son? Will Ning Yue’s mother call your child son or grandson?”
The amount of information was explosive, and the villagers began whispering in shock. Good heavens—Lin Anguo was in his twenties and still sharing a bed with his mother? Peeking at Ning Yue’s mother bathing?
Ning Lu continued loudly: “I may be fat, but I live openly and decently! Unlike you and Ning Yue, dirty and secretive, disgusting and hidden in the shadows!
The engagement will be broken for sure. Return every penny I spent on your family, and compensate me for my labor! Otherwise, I’ll beat you every time I see you. You’ve seen my body—you know I can fight. If you think you can beat me, keep talking nonsense!
You shameless trash—you cheat and still act proud. Too bad I didn’t drown today. I’ll be the death of you disgusting scum!”
Lin Anguo felt the villagers’ contempt burning him like fire, while Ning Yue covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
He gritted his teeth and quickly helped Ning Yue leave first!
Wei Xiaomei was still lying on the ground, cursing weakly.
Yan Bingqin, gasping for breath, was infected by her daughter’s fierce aura. She grabbed a clump of mud and threw it straight into Wei Xiaomei’s mouth!
Ning Lao Da—Ning Tie Dan—and his son Ning Xingde climbed out of the river.
Ning Tie Dan’s face was ashen. Soaked like a drowned dog, he pointed at Ning Lu and cursed: “I’m the village chief of this village! Today, none of you will leave here in peace! Not only will you lose your house, you won’t even keep your ashes urns—you’ll all be punished!”
Breathing heavily, he ordered the Ning clan members to send Ning Lu and Yan Bingqin to the police!
Ning Lu looked at him coldly. Indeed, as the village chief, a local tyrant had the advantage—once he gave the order, villagers eager to please him would likely side with him.
In this society, relationships and power could crush people.
For survival, most people were cold and indifferent.
In that case, Ning Lu clenched her fists. She would carve a path out with her own strength.
Just as she was about to act, Yan Bingqin suddenly spoke, her voice trembling:
“Wait! Ning Tie Dan, I’ve tolerated you for many years. Tie Gen was honest and told me not to speak up, but I kept evidence!
Since you want to kill us mother and daughter, I won’t care about brotherhood anymore. This guarantee letter—you wrote it yourself for Tie Gen, admitting you would never again harbor improper thoughts about me!”
Yan Bingqin took out an old document wrapped in plastic. Someone opened it, and everyone was shocked.
It clearly stated that Ning Tie Dan, the elder brother, once attempted to assault his younger brother Ning Tie Gen’s wife, Yan Bingqin, while Tie Gen was in the army. He was caught red-handed when Tie Gen returned.
The two brothers fought; Ning Tie Dan lost and begged for mercy, writing this guarantee letter admitting his wrongdoing and promising never again to have inappropriate thoughts about his brother’s wife.
Ning Tie Dan’s eyes widened, his facial muscles trembling!
He remembered clearly that he had once tested his younger brother about that letter—asking if it was still around. Tie Gen said it had been lost long ago!
How was it still here?!
Someone whispered: “This really is the village chief’s handwriting…”
Ning Lu immediately added fuel to the fire: “So you couldn’t get my mother, and now you’re taking revenge by trying to kill us and seize the house left by my father!
We are martyrs’ families! How dare you bully us like this? I’m going to report this to the authorities and see how long you can stay village chief!”
Wei Xiaomei was shocked too, but instead of blaming her husband, she cursed Yan Bingqin:
“So it’s you, you slut—seducing your brother-in-law, I knew a woman like you couldn’t be kept—ah!”
Ning Lu walked over and sat right on her head!
Wei Xiaomei finally shut up.
The villagers murmured among themselves. Although most did not dare openly criticize Ning Tie Dan, their eyes were full of contempt.
“Wow… so the village chief is actually this kind of person.”
“How can someone like this still be a village chief? Disgusting.”
But Ning Tie Dan shamelessly said: “Yan Bingqin, what are you? You two mother and daughter are both as fat as pigs. You say I coveted you?
I just got drunk back then and accidentally entered your room. You tried to seduce me and are now framing me!
Everyone, tie up these shameless women and send them to the police! Whoever proves they cheated or committed murder will get a sack of cornmeal from me!”
A sack of cornmeal was enough for a family to live on for two months.
Ning Lu thought villagers wouldn’t go so far as to fabricate lies—but unexpectedly, someone actually stepped forward.
“Village chief, I can testify! I saw Yan Bingqin cheating!”
“I can testify too! I saw her push your daughter into the river, and her daughter even hit people! Send them to jail!”
One, two, three, four…
Ning Lu coldly sneered in her heart. How coincidental—these people were all relatives of those who drowned in the water.
Ning Tie Dan smiled in satisfaction.
He looked at Yan Bingqin, his eyes filled with greed.
“Even so, with conclusive evidence, I’ll spare you from going to the police station. Yan Bingqin, you and Ning Lu kneel down, apologize, sign a document giving up all property and land left by Ning Tie Gen, and leave Ning Family Village forever. Then this matter is settled.”
