“Third aunt, look at how skinny my sisters are from hunger. We’re so poor, yet you still came to steal from us.”

Su Wen gave a miserable look, and inwardly praised her own acting talent. “You usually like to do dirty things in the village. As a junior, I can’t say anything about you. But you… You shouldn’t have sullied the entire Su family’s reputation in the village!”

Trinity village was so named because of the Li family, the Xu family, and the Sun family. These three families had lived there during the time of its existence, and two-thirds of the village’s population had one of these three surnames.

As for the one surnamed Su, he had moved there later to avoid the war.

When he first came, he was a foreigner in the village with no status, and so was bullied. After more than 50 years of hard work, great uncle had many brothers, and he had strove to gain a firm foothold.

It became the fourth family name after the three families, Li, Sun, and Xu. He was much stronger than those foreigners who had no one to rely on. Generally, no one dared to bully him.

Because prestige was not easy to obtain, no matter what happened within the Su family, they were very united and cherished their reputation.

That was why none of her uncles or relatives spoke up for the original character after she became notorious in the novel. They couldn’t even wait to kick her out, additionally regretting that they had agreed to Su Xuewen’s proposal before his death to let the original character marry a live-in son-in-law.

Su Wen also took advantage of this point and found the right place to attack.

“I didn’t…” Chen Guihua jumped around. “You little b****, what nonsense are you spewing?”

“You’re so fat and you still don’t admit it?” Wang Chunyan glared at her, upset. “How embarrassing. So you were just speaking ill of Wen on purpose. How can you be an elder? How can you slander your own niece?”

“That’s right! If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes today, who’s to know what you’ll say tomorrow.”

Everyone thought of the bad things that had been said about Su Wen; half of them came from Chen Guihua. Her own character was poor, so it was obvious that she had been jealous and muddying Su Wen’s reputation in the past.

“I didn’t.” Chen Guihua’s body ached from the beating. Now, she was being criticized by everyone. How could she take it? In her anxiousness, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The crowd was caught off guard and shouted for a doctor to come over and take a look. They were also afraid that they would be held responsible if a life was lost.

“Let me do it, I know first aid.” Su Wen held a sewing needle and moved towards Chen Guihua.

When Chen Guihua, who had been pretending to be unconscious, heard Su Wen’s words, she secretly opened her eyes and saw the tip of the needle in close proximity. She jumped up with a shout and ran away.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Su Wen said, “… This can also be done?”

*****

The news spread quickly through the village. Zhang Chunxiang, who had come back from working in the fields, heard it and secretly scolded Chen Guihua for asking for it. She had stolen many things from her house, and this time, she had finally gotten her retribution.

She just didn’t know if it was a coincidence or Su Wen’s scheme!

Zhang Chunxiang couldn’t sit still when she thought of this. Half a month ago, she had received 10 yuan from matchmaker Zhao and agreed to help her mediate. After the deed was done, there would be 10 yuan as a thank you gift. She couldn’t let go of the benefits that were already in her hands.

She hurriedly changed into clean clothes and went to Plum Furrow village. She had to quickly discuss with matchmaker Zhao and seize the moment.

The situation may turn unfavorable if time is delayed.

As Zhang Chunxiang strode toward Plum Furrow, she came across Sun Yunyun, who was walking towards her.

“Yunyun, why did you come to Plum Furrow? Visiting relatives?”

Sun Yunyun felt guilty and wanted to hide, but the road was surrounded by fields where seedlings had just been planted. There was no place to hide, so she could only summon up her courage and greet Zhang Chunxiang.

“Aunt, I went to a classmate’s house so we could learn from each other and improve our studies.”
