Everyone had dispersed, and Xu Laodi cursed under his breath as he sprinted home.
It was only after everyone else had left that Zhang Fang finally approached Qin Cuifen.
"Sister Zhang!" Qin Cuifen called out to Mrs. Zhang politely, though inwardly she was just like everyone else, referring to her as the widow.
Called such, Zhang Fang was overjoyed.
"Look at you, really now!" Zhang Fang exclaimed, sizing up Cuifen, before directly saying, "The things you said just now, they’re actually about yourself, aren’t they?"
She could fool others but not Zhang Fang. No way.
Sheng Ning had never been able to get the better of Cuifen since they were children, spinning around in circles, just like a second Xu Laodi. The messy part of her reputation was partially due to her own carelessness, but more of it was actually spread around deliberately by Cuifen.
It was clear as day to her.
"How do you know?" Cuifen wasn’t embarrassed; she was just curiously asking in return.
"Just look at yourself."
Cuifen’s face flushed instantly, her mind flashing back to that night on the sofa.
Worried about losing her innocence and the chance to soar to higher branches to become a Phoenix, her dream of becoming the grand lady of a rich family shattered, she had wanted to die in agony.
But now, since it has already come to this, she found she wasn’t upset anymore; she even felt a bit nostalgic for that wonderful experience.
Seeing her shameless demeanor, Zhang Fang chuckled gleefully. "Hahaha... I told you once you tasted that flavor, you would definitely enjoy it. Ugh! The coarse and insufferable men in this village make me feel sick just looking at them," she confessed.
Ever since she had seen Little Yama, he was all she could think about.
Qin Cuifen snorted coldly, "You’re the shameless one! How dare you come and lecture me." She had long known what kind of person the widow was, who couldn’t wait to throw herself at any man she saw.
Which man in the village hadn’t been with her?
The real shameless one.
"I am shameless, so what? Aren’t you the same?" Zhang Fang didn’t bother to hide her thoughts. After all, her reputation was already in tatters.
Ever since Sheng Ning, that little wretch, exposed her impropriate relationship with the village chief and the President of the union, she acted like a broken jar.
She didn’t care anymore!
"If there was a young man who would spend a night with me, I would be over the moon."
Qin Cuifen glanced at her with disdain, "Wanting to sleep with a young man isn’t difficult, there are plenty of men at the General Union."
"How many have you slept with?" Zhang Fang gave her a meaningful bump, her bold words catching Cuifen off guard.
"Shut up, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going home." Grabbing her purse, Qin Cuifen made to head home, with Zhang Fang quickly following her.
When Qin Cuifen reached her house and saw the door slightly ajar, she pushed it open and entered. The table in the room was covered in a layer of dust.
"Where are my dad and mom? Why isn’t anyone home?"
"Your aunt has been arrested and put in jail."
"Impossible, you’re talking nonsense," Qin Cuifen retorted.
"Why would I lie to you?"
"For sure! You were lucky that as soon as you entered the village, you deflected everything on Sheng Ning, that little wretch. Otherwise, you would have been doomed, the gossip alone could drown you."
Qin Cuifen was terrified.
"Your dad went to see relatives." Nobody expected Cuifen to return so suddenly; if they knew, Qin Youde wouldn’t have left.
"What will you do now?"
"Don’t know! I’ll take it one step at a time. I’m bound to return to the city sooner or later." She was not giving up, she was determined to have her revenge.
