Gu Yao frowned slightly. When he had seen Yang Ruxin before, he hadn’t noticed any injuries on her. How had she suddenly...
"Dani, why didn’t you say anything just now?" Yang Baixiang rushed over in an instant, "You..." he started to choke up.
"Wasn’t I just trying to avoid worrying you guys?" Yang Ruxin patted Yang Baixiang’s arm, "It’s nothing, I won’t die..." Saying so, she tore off a piece of her hem and wrapped it around her arm a few times.
Yang Baixiang hurriedly helped her bandage up, then turned around, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at Lin Yue’e: "Since you’re so involved with Wang Sheng, why don’t you let Black Bear tear off a piece of your flesh to try, huh? If you dare, then you can come and sling mud, but if I ever hear you spouting nonsense again, I, Yang Baixiang, will fight you to the death..." He roared the words out, his entire body shaking afterward.
The envious villagers nearby immediately felt ashamed.
Yang Ruxin quickly reached out to pat Yang Baixiang’s arm, signaling him to calm down. Seeing such an honest man furious, she felt somewhat guilty, but she had no choice but to do so.
"I..." Lin Yue’e dared not say anything more, right? The sight of the blood was enough to make her feel faint.
"Apologize," Gu Yao knew this wasn’t the time to inquire after Yang Ruxin, his hand suddenly applying pressure.
"I was wrong..." Lin Yue’e felt annoyed inside, but couldn’t afford to be embarrassed now. Knowing that if she didn’t back down, it wouldn’t be over. She quickly nodded and even slapped herself, "I shouldn’t have talked nonsense... I will never do so again..." She conveniently ignored anything about wetting her pants.
Only then did Gu Yao sheathe his machete.
Lin Yue’e finally sighed in relief but felt her legs give way and collapsed to the ground.
"Having a good time, are you, Wang Sheng’s wife?" someone shouted.
"What’s it to you, huh?" With life no longer in jeopardy, Lin Yue’e returned to her shameless self, "If you have the guts, you wet yourself..." Then she hurriedly got up, sitting on the ground with wet pants was too uncomfortable, but the wet pants now smeared with mud looked extremely unsightly.
But everyone else laughed even more heartily.
"Lin Yue’e, you’re nothing but a troublemaker..." The speaker was the village head’s daughter-in-law, Lin Xiaoling of the Yang Lin family. She had just received the news and hurried over, not needing to know the details to guess what had happened, "Who are you trying to disgust to death?" Because both of their families came from Lin Family Estate, she knew Lin Yue’e’s character all too well. Moreover, her father was the village head of the Lin Family Estate, and now her man was the village head of Dapu East Village, so she had always been one up on the other party.
Lin Yue’e dared to stare down and fight with others, but she just did not dare to stare down Lin Xiaoling.
Of course, besides the matter of status, there was another reason Lin Yue’e couldn’t face Lin Xiaoling. Back in the day, the matchmaker had originally approached Lin Xiaoling on behalf of Wang Sheng. The matchmaker praised Wang Sheng to the skies, and as it happened, Lin Yue’e, who was visiting Lin Xiaoling, overheard it.
Lin Yue’e, not being favored at home and her parents valuing sons over daughters, was always overshadowed by her brother. Her parents were constantly trying to marry her off for money, already having settled on a widower. Not wanting to marry him, she had to find someone quickly for herself. So, after hearing the matchmaker, she naturally did not want to let the opportunity slip by and conveniently "bumped into" Wang Sheng on his way to meet Lin Xiaoling.
