"Hey, didn't you say you were going to collect corn? Where's the corn?" Seeing Liu Lihua co back empty-handed, Huang Changfa couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I went to check, but the corn isn't ripe yet, so I didn't pick it."
Just as Liu Lihua was casually responding to her husband, she suddenly saw Ling Zhenfei sitting there. Her expression changed dramatically, and she exclaid, "You... What are you doing here?"
Earlier in the cornfield, Ling Zhenfei had watched Liu Lihua flee in the opposite direction. There was no way she could have known it was him there. Now, seeing her reaction, there was only one conclusion: Wang Changhe must have called and told her.
"Hmph!" Seeing Liu Lihua's frightened and nervous look, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but snort coldly.
He was curious to see how this despicable woman would explain herself.
"You foolish woman, Zhenfei is the owner of our farm. Of course, he's here to discuss business."
Seeing Liu Lihua in a daze, Huang Changfa was a bit puzzled but still waved her off, saying, "Zhenfei is staying for dinner. Hurry up and make a few dishes, don't dawdle."
"Make dinner?" Hearing Huang Changfa say this, Liu Lihua's eyes flashed with a cold smile. Pointing at Ling Zhenfei, she roared at Huang Changfa, "Huang Changfa, do you have a heart? Your wife was just bullied, and you still have the nerve to invite him for dinner?"
Liu Lihua really had a knack for putting on a show. As she spoke, she imdiately put on a deeply aggrieved look and started wiping her tears.
Seeing Liu Lihua's behavior, Ling Zhenfei realized that his suspicions were correct.
Liu Lihua had indeed gotten word from Wang Changhe and knew it was him who had caught them in the act. Her current accusations were a classic example of the guilty party filing the complaint first.
"Lihua, what are you talking about? Who bullied you? I'm completely confused here."
Huang Changfa was an honest man. Liu Lihua's crying and complaining left him completely bewildered, scratching his head, not knowing what to do.
"You fool, do you realize you've invited a wolf into your ho?"
Liu Lihua, making a righteous indignation face, pointed at Ling Zhenfei and ranted at Huang Changfa, "I went to the cornfield, and this wolf demon had evil intentions and tried to drag into the cornfield. Luckily, I ran into the village chief and escaped!"
Such treacherous accusations were preditated between Liu Lihua and Wang Changhe.
They knew that Ling Zhenfei, as Huang Changfa's boss, wouldn't keep it a secret from him. So, they decided to accuse Ling Zhenfei first in front of Huang Changfa.
"This..." Hearing Liu Lihua's words, Huang Changfa couldn't believe his ears.
He looked at Liu Lihua, then at Ling Zhenfei, completely at a loss for what to do.
"Huang Changfa, you useless man, are you still a man? The man who bullied your wife is right in front of you, and you're doing nothing?"
Seeing Huang Changfa's dumbfounded look, and sensing that Ling Zhenfei was also caught off guard, Liu Lihua felt even bolder and shalessly continued her tirade.
"Zhenfei... No! That's impossible, Zhenfei wouldn't do sothing like that..."
Huang Changfa hesitated for quite a while. He knew Ling Zhenfei's character well and was sure he wouldn't do sothing so vile.
"You... Huang Changfa, I've always known you're a coward! Fine, if you won't do anything, I'll fight this wolf demon myself!"
Seeing Huang Changfa's disbelief, Liu Lihua beca even more brazen, completely transforming into a shrew, and reached out to scratch Ling Zhenfei's face.
Slap!
Ling Zhenfei wasn't about to let her get away with it. He slapped her hard, sending the crazy woman stumbling backward and falling to the ground.
Liu Lihua didn't expect Ling Zhenfei to actually hit her. The slap sent her sprawling on the ground.
However, this devious woman imdiately put on a pitiful face, wailing and crying in front of Huang Changfa:
"Huang Changfa, did you see that? This wolf demon bullied , and now, seeing his secret exposed, he hit in front of you. If you're a man, hit him for ! If not, I'll divorce you! We're done! Waa..."
"This... This..."
Huang Changfa had been single for so long before marrying Liu Lihua; he didn't want a divorce. Hearing this, he panicked, stuttering and not knowing what to do.
Seeing Huang Changfa's pitiful state, Ling Zhenfei felt a wave of sadness for him. Although Huang Changfa was an honest man, being honest and also weak-hearted ant he had no backbone!
No wonder so won always said, "Once I've had my fun, I'll marry an honest man." Were honest n really that easy to bully?
"Uncle Changfa, don't listen to her nonsense. She's the one ssing around behind your back."
Huang Changfa's current anguished look showed Ling Zhenfei that he trusted him and didn't believe he would harass his wife.
But out of fear of divorce from Liu Lihua, he couldn't react properly.
However, the more this was the case, the more Ling Zhenfei felt he had to expose the truth, not letting Liu Lihua, this modern-day Pan Jinlian, harm Huang Changfa any further.
Ling Zhenfei pointed at Liu Lihua, angrily saying, "I passed by your cornfield and caught her with the village chief, Wang Changhe. I ca here to tell you, but she beat to it."
Although he knew telling this in such a direct manner would embarrass Huang Changfa, now that Liu Lihua was accusing him like a mad dog, he had no choice but to fight back!
"Ah! This..." As expected, hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Huang Changfa was shocked, glaring at Liu Lihua in disbelief, angrily shouting, "You... You despicable woman, did you really do such a thing?"
Huang Changfa found it hard to believe his wife would cheat on him with the village chief, but he trusted Ling Zhenfei's character and knew he wouldn't lie. Besides, he knew about the scoundrel village chief, Wang Changhe.
"I..."
Liu Lihua's face turned beet red. Facing her husband's outrage, she didn't dare to admit it.
Though tis had changed since the olden days when adulterers were drowned, it still wasn't sothing to brag about if word got out.
"Huang Changfa, why are you yelling at ? Do you prefer to believe a little wolf demon over your own wife?"
Facing Huang Changfa's anger, Liu Lihua's mind raced. She decided to stick to her story: "That little wolf demon tried to bully . The village chief caught him. He's flipping the story to ruin my reputation. If you don't believe , we can ask the village chief to testify!"
