"Oh dear, so according to you, it's my fault that you and Chen Shengjun slept together?" Yuan Chun had only wanted to watch the show, but she hadn't expected this vicious woman to smear her.
Yuan Chun angrily questioned, "He Zhiqing, all I did was refuse to teach you farm work. If I didn't want to teach you, you could have asked other aunties and grandmas to teach you. You came to the Chen family and asked Chen Shengjun to teach you, and you even slept together with him. You say you didn't want to? Who would believe that?"
"What, after you enjoyed yourself, you're afraid of losing face, so you want to smear me?"
"Did I send you to find Chen Shengjun? Or did I send you to sleep with Chen Shengjun? Or did I send Er Laizi to compete with Chen Shengjun for your bed?"
“He Hongyu, if you’re shameless enough to do something like this, then you should have the courage to take responsibility. Don’t try to be a hypocrite. I spit on you… Let me tell you, don’t try to smear me. I, Feng Yuanchun, am not someone to be trifled with.”
Then, Yuanchun looked at the village chief with a wronged expression and said, “Seventh Uncle, I didn’t mean to refuse to teach He Hongyu farm work. I explained that I was going to study in town soon and didn’t have time to teach her. But I didn’t expect that she would turn around and not ask the aunties and grandmas in the village to teach her, but instead come to the Chen family and ask Chen Shengjun to teach her. Chen Shengjun, a young man, was at home alone with her. It was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and things got out of control. But this matter can’t be blamed on me. Do I not have the right to refuse people just because I’m busy and don’t have time to teach them?”
“Yuan Chun, you did the right thing,” the village chief said. “Studying is important. You must study hard and get a high school diploma to bring honor to our village.”
Yuan Chun patted her chest and promised, “Seventh Uncle, just wait and see, I will definitely bring honor to the village.”
The village chief smiled happily, then looked at He Hongyu with displeasure and said earnestly, “He Hongyu, you are an adult now. If you do something wrong, you should be brave enough to take responsibility. Don’t try to shirk responsibility.”
He added, “Since you voluntarily chose to be with Chen Shengjun, then you two should choose a date and get married.”
"No, village chief, He Zhiqing is my daughter-in-law..."
Er Laizi's mother tried to throw a tantrum, but the village chief scolded her, "Er Laizi's mother, don't think she's stupid. Just because you made a scene, He Zhiqing won't marry Er Laizi."
The village chief turned to her and asked, "He Zhiqing, tell me, between Chen Shengjun and Er Laizi, who do you want to marry?"
Er Laizi and Chen Shengjun, one an old bachelor, lazy and good-for-nothing, the other a rogue, cunning and treacherous, neither of them are good men.
But He Zhiqing had already slept with Chen Shengjun, so she couldn't refuse to marry him. The village chief wouldn't allow her actions to tarnish the entire village's reputation.
This marriage had to be arranged. He
Hongyu's cheeks flushed red, a mixture of embarrassment
and anger
.
Even after living two lives, being stared at with contemptuous and mocking eyes made her feel ashamed. "Village chief, I...I'm willing to marry Chen Shengjun."
Her head hung low, her heart filled with regret.
Although her goal in currying favor with Chen Shengjun was to marry him, it wasn't now, but after the national political reform.
The Chen family was so poor, and a bunch of lazy people. She didn't want to marry into the family so early and suffer, only to be tormented by Granny Chen. Just thinking about it drove her crazy.
After her rebirth, she only wanted a good life, not a hard one, but the Chen family...was too poor, and it would be another ten years before Chen Shengjun became successful.
But right now, she had no choice but to agree.
