Beisitian watched Du Chuni, her tongue as sharp as a lotus, turning black into white. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; this mouth was indeed powerful. No wonder the original protagonist was completely controlled by her before. If she hadn’t married off with her little daughter, the original protagonist would’ve still been under Du Chuni’s control after entering the husband’s family.
Seeing Beisitian looking at her without speaking, Du Chuni thought she had swayed her and continued speaking, trying to stir Beisitian’s heart further.
Just as she was getting into the flow of her persuasion, a loud shout interrupted, "Du Bapi, you shaless scoundrel, here you are deceiving people again!"
Turned out Mrs. Qin had arrived.
After being stunned for a mont, Beisitian rembered Luo Anping. She turned her head, and sure enough, Luo Anping was pulling Mrs. Qin’s arm, running along.
She couldn’t help but smile bitterly, having forgotten about the kid. Today, he ca with her to herd sheep, but since he hadn’t spoken, she forgot about him.
This boy was indeed shrewd. Seeing the situation wasn’t right, he imdiately ran back to get reinforcents.
Luo Anping didn’t know Du Chuni, but upon hearing Du Chuni asking Beisitian to call her ’Aunt,’ and buying tasty snacks, he imdiately sensed sothing was amiss. After hearing the gossip from the surrounding people, he realized it was Du Bapi, so he hurried back to find Mrs. Qin while they weren’t paying attention.
The last ti his sister was almost sold off by Du Bapi, this ti definitely wasn’t going to be good either. He was worried Beisitian might get deceived and leave them.
Upon seeing Mrs. Qin, Du Chuni’s face imdiately fell. She slightly tilted her chin, crossing her arms, with an attitude that was difficult to swallow.
"Oh, it’s Sister Qin." Du Chuni said indifferently, no longer addressing her as warmly as ’in-law mother.’
"Du Bapi, what are you up to again!" Mrs. Qin shouted angrily.
The last ti Du Chuni ca to see Beisitian, she heard about it and was worried sick. When Luo Anping ca back to tell her, she imdiately got anxious and hurried over.
"What are you saying, I’m here to see my daughter!" Du Chuni snorted coldly.
"What do you an your daughter, Little Tian’er is my daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Qin shouted.
Du Chuni laughed upon hearing this, "Oh, whether she’s your daughter-in-law or not is clear to everyone, but she’s definitely my daughter. Everyone in the village knows my daughter and your deceased son never had a wedding banquet, what kind of daughter-in-law is that!"
The villagers were all aware of this matter, but no one dared to bring it to light. It was sothing they whispered behind people’s backs, but you would never dare to openly poke at soone’s sore spot.
So when Du Chuni said this, many people around beca interested. This was going to be a spectacle, and by the looks of it, a big spectacle!
Mrs. Qin was deeply apprehensive about matters related to Luo Xudong, and Du Chuni’s naked remarks nearly made her black out and faint.
Beisitian hurried forward to support her, pressing a few acupuncture points to bring her back to her senses.
"Your son is gone, don’t delay my daughter. My daughter is already twenty; how long do you intend to hold her back?"
In terms of talking back, ten Mrs. Qins couldn’t rival one Du Chuni.
"Now, as her mother, I have the ability to find her a good family, but you are relentlessly obstructing it. What are your intentions? Everybody, co and judge this situation. Is Luo Er’s family lacking morality or not? My daughter is already this old, and they refuse to let her leave, forcing her to work like a beast for both the elderly and the young. When will this life see an end? I ask you, who wouldn’t feel heartache if their daughter lived like this?" Du Chuni said as she started to shed tears.
"Though this daughter isn’t my biological child, she was raised by from a young age. I may discipline and scold her myself, but no one else can bully her!"
As Du Chuni spoke, she carefully wiped beneath her eyes, afraid her makeup would be smudged.
Mrs. Qin was enraged upon hearing this, pointing at Du Chuni’s nose, yet unable to utter a single word, her hand trembling uncontrollably.
Beisitian gently patted the back of her hand. Mrs. Qin glanced over and saw her faint smile, which instantly cald her heart.
As long as Beisitian wasn’t swayed, even if the entire village reviled her, she wouldn’t care.
"Aunt Du, I used to think you just had a bad temper, but I never expected your mind to be so vicious." Beisitian’s clear voice rang out.
Beisitian didn’t seem indignant; in fact, she spoke so calmly that people believed her even more.
Du Chuni nearly blurted out "dead girl," but forcibly swallowed it and changed her words, "Tian Tian, how can you say such things about !"
"Aunt Du, I never blad you for the beatings and scolding, after all, you have your biological children."
Beisitian revealed Du Chuni’s stepmother status and position in her way, preventing her from spinning it in her own fashion and adding a manipulative phrase like her beatings could be forgiven but not other people’s bullying.
"All these years I’ve served my parents and sister at ho without complaint, after all, I’m the elder sister; doing more work and eating less is to be expected!"
Beisitian didn’t directly accuse Du Chuni of any mistakes, yet, compared to Du Chuni’s claims, the faint contrast allowed outsiders to guess the truth.
Moreover, everyone in the village had witnessed Du Chuni’s previous deanor. As a girl, she was arrogant and overbearing, and marrying Doctor Bei only amplified her arrogance.
"But Aunt Du disappointed . Clearly, my father agreed to save money to buy a terylene dress for Sisi, yet you couldn’t wait and insisted I marry the rascal from the neighboring village just because they offered a hefty bride price."
The prior words were rely setting the stage, but the latter ones were the highlight. Once Beisitian uttered them, the people around erupted in shock.
Beisisi was the first in the village to wear a terylene dress, and she was entirely in the spotlight then, envied by all the unmarried won and wives in the village. Everyone rely thought Du Chuni was hiding it, but it turned out to be otherwise.
The affair of promising Beisitian to the rascal from the neighboring village was known throughout the village because the matter had caused quite a stir. Shortly thereafter, Doctor Bei t his misfortune in the mountains, yet nobody expected the cause was rely buying a skirt for the youngest daughter!
With this realization, Doctor Bei didn’t join the hunting team to enter the mountains but dared to venture alone. He must have wanted to gather more herbs, see more patients, and save enough money to buy a skirt for his youngest daughter and prevent his eldest from marrying such a scoundrel!
So, did Doctor Bei’s death indirectly relate to Du Bapi?!
More and more people continued to gather around, eager to witness the spectacle and join in the discussions.
"Dead girl, stop talking nonsense here, or I will rip apart your mouth!" Du Chuni finally lost her temper, pointing at Beisitian and angrily scolding her.
