She thought she had intimidated Shuzhen and could complete the purpose of this trip perfectly. After returning, she could make her man happy with a loving hug.
But the darn woman just laughed more sarcastically. The words "don’t even think about it" made all her previous performances a joke.
Dai Honghua was so furious that her temples throbbed, breathing heavily, her gaze like a knife wishing to execute Shuzhen. Those fat fingers, as thick as sausages, pointed directly towards Shuzhen: "You, aren’t you afraid that I’ll really report you? With these old potatoes as proof, the Lian family’s three siblings haven’t planted potatoes in their private plots, and there aren’t any in your Liu family’s garden either.
If they weren’t stolen from the team’s land, then tell me where these potatoes came from?"
Wow, is she still threatening at this critical moment?
Shuzhen curled her lips and gave Dai Honghua a nonchalant smile: "Where did they come from? These things aren’t rare. Isn’t it easy to get two baskets from somewhere?
The Lian family didn’t plant them, but that doesn’t mean the Su family didn’t, the Qiu family didn’t, or any family friendly with Lianshan and the Liu family didn’t. Right?
Otherwise, if I wanted some, I could exchange a bit with someone else.
Pregnant women have delicate tastes; once they think of something to eat, they can’t stop craving it. This is something Captain Lin’s wife should understand, having been pregnant and raised children."
"Humph, you’re just boasting! Nowadays, every family is struggling; anything that can fill the belly, everyone is careful with it.
Even if driven mad by poverty, you wouldn’t waste things before the fall harvest season, yet you get basketfuls sent to you.
Ha, you really know how to flatter yourself!" Dai Honghua sneered, her gaze towards Shuzhen full of mockery: "Of course, maybe you look good, have good relationships. Some old bachelors who can’t find a wife might have some thoughts, wishing to starve themselves to provide for you.
If you look good, certain benefits are inevitable!"
Darn it, such a nasty mouth!!
Is she implying that I’m unfaithful?
Shuzhen was furious, quickly stepped forward, and slapped twice on her face.
It made Dai Honghua’s already chubby face swell even larger, and she furiously rushed towards Shuzhen.
That reckless, lion-like fury seemed intent on mutual destruction to avenge today’s humiliation.
Shuzhen wasn’t ambiguous about it.
Soon after delivering those two harsh slaps, Shuzhen quickly retreated and grabbed the vegetable knife from the board.
Now, she pointed the gleaming knife at Dai Honghua, whose madness quickly dissipated under the sharp blade and Shuzhen’s colder expression.
"You, you, you, put down the knife. If you hurry and put the knife down, I’ll pretend that nothing happened!" Dai Honghua’s eyes were blood-red, desperately wishing she could tear Shuzhen apart, yet had to put on a gracious face as if ignoring the past grievances.
No choice, fear is the reason!
If this fierce woman makes a slip, she might have to bid farewell to her happy life.
Her man finally clawed his way up to the position of team leader at Liu Village. She wouldn’t part with the good life of eating rice and flour, sometimes even having meat, new clothes made from fabric.
"Cadre’s family member? Yet still just a small-time village officer? This shamelessness isn’t small, and certainly not thin!" Shuzhen sneered: "Too bad, while you want to pass off this matter grandly, I’m someone who sticks to principles.
Previously, you and your husband damaged my reputation, siding with Wu Xia to ruin my brother’s happy life, came to collect debts on my wedding day adding insult. These things, I haven’t found the time to settle with you, but you dare come in, kick my door, and accuse me of infidelity?
If you don’t appreciate kindness, then wait to be humiliated like a revolving laughing stock!"
Dai Honghua’s eyes widened, wanting to ask Shuzhen where she got the nerve to act so boldly.
However, no need for her to ask; Shuzhen coldly revealed her trump card: "Anyway, even if you actually report me, the matter of a basket of potatoes, I have countless ways to resolve it. After all, I have the legacy of my grandfather and third uncle, married into the proletarian family with a proper background, carrying a little flame in my belly, right?
Even if there is suspicion.
But you, you married Lin Yuanzhi while pregnant and gave him a son who is absolutely fine except having no relation to him. If this matter gets exposed, will you be able to remain as Captain Lin’s wife?
Will you need to name your lover?"
"No, you’re talking nonsense; Shengli is Yuanzhi’s son, his biological son! How awful to slander a child, Liu Shuzhen, no wonder you were driven out by Brother Weiguo..." After her secret held for three or four years got revealed, Dai Honghua was shocked and desperately denied.
She exploited Shuzhen’s weaknesses, trying to provoke her into losing her mind and engaging in violence.
Risking injury to make it appear that Shuzhen hated Dai Weiguo, hated everyone associated with him. With a knife already wielded, why care about reckless accusations?
Unfortunately, Shuzhen was no longer that fool living and dying for Dai Weiguo.
Dai Honghua’s attempts to provoke backfired, Shuzhen calmly listened to the tirades and spoke leisurely.
In a few sentences, she obliterated all Dai Honghua’s hopes: "What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. When your family hosted a city visitor who stayed for months, who didn’t know? A month later, you were caught meeting Lin Yuanzhi in the woods. Then, hastily got married within two weeks, and seven months later, prematurely birthed a healthy fair-skinned child.
Of course, you may claim these are coincidences, and accuse me of slander.
But does Captain Lin have such unwavering trust in you!
If he has any doubts, taking your little Shengli to the provincial hospital for a blood test might just unveil the truth!"
