Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Among so many villages, there were a few villages that one could not afford to offend. The Black Eagle Village in the mountains ranked the first. Next was
Lesser Canter Village, where people fought for water every year. The Trinity Village came next among those on the ground.
After all, only the Trinity Village could fight with the Lesser Canter Village. Every year, when they had to fight for water for farming, they would make a huge scene of bloodshed.
Later on, Zhou Hengyang came to the Trinity Village. After a large battle, the Trinity Village won over the Lesser Canter Village.
��l’ne people tnere were very merce In general.
“Make way, make way.” The women’s department director opened a path and stood in front of Wang Yongmei. She said, “Tell me, did you sell Xiaoya or give her away? If you don’t explain clearly, I’ll send you to the police station.”
Wang Yongmei looked up hatefully and glared at Su Wen with bloodshot eyes. “It’s all your fault. You! You’re meddling in other people’s business.” “Let me ask you.” Su Wen took a step forward.
“Who are you to Xiaoya? Who am I to Xiaoya? I’m Xiaoya’s aunt. We’re all surnamed Su. We’re a family. And you, Wang Yongmei, are just Xiaoya’s stepmother. What right do you have to treat Xiaoya like that? You’re not even related to her by blood. Xiaoya’s father is not at home, but you made Xiaoya disappear. If we don’t look for you, who else can we look for?”
Wang Yongmei was speechless.
The people surnamed Su who were watching at the scene were extremely ashamed.
Su Wen suddenly raised her voice. “As long as there’s someone with the surname Su around, you can’t stand up for Xiaoya.”
The courtyard instantly fell silent.
“I don’t have high expectations. I just want to know where Xiaoya is and if she’s doing well. If she’s not doing well, I can find her and bring her back.” Su Wen’s voice had become hoarse because she had shouted too loudly earlier.
“You don’t want to raise Xiaoya and think that Xiaoya is a burden. If you want to give her to someone else, you should ask the people of the village first. If no one is willing to contribute, hence you’re unable to raise her, I have no objections. However, if a family surnamed Su is willing to help, you shouldn’t make the decision on your own.”
Only then did Wang Yongmei realize that she was in big trouble. At that time, she had only thought of the huge sum of 500 yuan and had long forgotten that the Su family was a big family in the Trinity Village. They were all from the same ancestors.
Su Wen looked at Third grandma who had rushed over. “Am I right?”
“That’s right. We didn’t care enough about Xiaoya. Logically speaking, each family should have helped long ago. No matter how hard the days are, they can’t give their children away.” This matter was too embarrassing.
“Wen is right.” “That’s right!”
“Hurry up and explain.”
Wang Yongmei gritted her teeth. Her heart ached for the 500 yuan. She was afraid that she would be found out. If word got out, she would be too embarrassed to face others. She would then have a reputation as a mean stepmother. However, if she did not speak up, Su Wen would definitely not let her off.
All the Su families in the village would not let her off.
Today’s matter would not be over.
In the end, Wang Yongmei had no choice but to confess that she had given Xiaoya to a family in the county through her cousin’s recommendation.
Su Wen immediately asked Su Qing to find the doctor to treat Wang Yongmei’s injuries. It was just some superficial wounds, but it looked scary. She should be fine after applying some ointments.
However, it looked even scarier after that. Her face appeared red, purple, and swollen. Looking at her face, the timid children in the village were so scared that they ran home crying.
A brave boy laughed and threw stones at Wang Yongmei, causing a commotion.
Wang Yongmei’s cousin was in another village. Seeing that it was already dark, everyone discussed and decided to go over the next day at dawn.
Initially, they didn’t want to bring Wang Yongmei along. Su Wen, the women’s department director, and the representative, Su Xueyong would be departing by themselves. But, Wang Yongmei insisted on going with them..
