The revelation left the malevolent individuals speechless.
Conversely, Sun Yunyun garnered more sympathy from the crowd, creating a perception that Su Wen was excessively harsh in causing Sun Yunyun’s imprisonment.
This deviation from the customary Trinity village norms raised concerns. They all belong to the same village, and getting into disagreements and verbal spats was normal. Everyone experienced some friction. If they can’t get over it, just seek mediation and move on.
Village disputes were expected, but Su Wen’s actions of sending Sun Yunyun to jail, leveraging her mental health for a confession, turned a minor issue into a major controversy.
Within the onlooking crowd, two figures remained silent: Chen Guihua and Yao Fang.
Chen Guihua, having relocated to the brigade headquarters with the villagers’ support, achieved self-sufficiency in food through approved land. Since the incident, her son Zhuangzhuang appeared to mature, focusing on his studies and earning praise from teachers. Su Wen’s actions provided Chen Guihua with renewed hope, and she was genuinely grateful for the opportunities Su Wen gave her son.
Experiencing a significant personality shift, Chen Guihua, who had withdrawn from casual village interactions, approached Sister Chrysanthemum to borrow a shoe pattern. She intended to craft a pair for Zhuangzhuang to wear to school. Upon arrival, she immediately overheard the villagers, guided by Sun Yunyun, criticizing Su Wen.
Moved by gratitude towards Su Wen, Chen Guihua was about to confront Sun Yunyun.
Although her life has improved now, it doesn’t mean she has lost her previous fighting spirit.
However, Yao Fang, who discreetly restrained her, prevented impulsive action. Chen Guihua, who was not in good health, didn’t have much strength. She was easily pulled away with just a tug. After a while, Yao Fang released Chen Guihua, casting a complex gaze her way.
Yao Fang, previously indifferent to the consequences of her actions with Su Xueqiang, exhibited no concern upon hearing about Chen Guihua’s suicide attempt. She deemed Chen Guihua annoying, perceiving her actions as an invitation to trouble and criticism, even drawing her into verbal attacks.
However, upon getting to know Su Wen and reflecting on her past, Yao Fang felt a deep sense of guilt and remorse. In the past two days, contemplating her unmarried years, she realized the extent of her unworthy and regrettable actions.
Despite planning to leave, she found herself returning to the village, her mind clouded with Su Wen’s words.
Feeling uneasy throughout the day, Yao Fang acknowledged that Brother Jiashan, who waited for her all night yesterday without seeing her, must be angry. Packing her things, she prepared to sneak back to her hometown village to explain to Brother Jiashan.
As she approached the village entrance, she witnessed the unfolding scene.
“You… I know you want to speak up for Su Wen, but words won’t help,” Yao
Fang said guiltily under Chen Guihua’s stunned gaze. “Su Wen needs to handle Sun Yunyun personally. You won’t be able to handle it; you’ll be at a disadvantage.”
It was well-known in the village that Chen Guihua was a straightforward person, not someone scheming or deceitful..
