Eighties Sweetheart Wife

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 This Isn’t Written in the Book_1 Chapter 30: Chapter 30 This Isn’t Written in the Book_1 Song Yunuan immediately suppressed the smile on her face, “Sister, go ahead.”

“There’s an Old Woman Mrs.

Wang in Erdao River Village, who said on the bus that your dad has ill intentions, incites villagers to beat their wives, and when issues arise, he pushes the responsibility onto the villagers.

She also said he’s been embezzling and taking bribes and has now been removed from his position…”

Song Yunuan’s eyes reddened, and she said with a mix of grievance and anger, “Sister Niu, let me tell you about it.”

Song Yunuan recounted the events once more, “…How could my dad possibly incite villagers to beat their wives?

As for embezzlement and bribery, definitely not, my dad is not afraid of anyone checking the accounts, but since he is the brigade leader, he definitely cannot shirk his responsibility for such matters.

He has already voluntarily resigned and is ready to accept the organization’s handling.”

Sister Niu really didn’t know what to say.

But she continued, “…At the time, there was also an old lady on the bus.

She didn’t even wait for Old Woman Mrs.

Wang to finish speaking before calling her out on all her wild and irresponsible allegations, criticizing her character from her younger days, and the two almost came to blows.”

Song Yunuan’s eyes flickered, wondering if the person could be the relative of the girl who committed suicide by jumping into the river?

Sister Niu, holding on to Song Yunuan, said with a smile, “That old lady looked rather crafty and mean-spirited.

Anyone who becomes her daughter-in-law would suffer if they were the slightest bit meek.”

“Little Nuan, you guys shouldn’t take it to heart, either.

It seemed like no one on the bus believed her, and after all, what’s true cannot be faked, and what’s fake can’t become true.”

Song Yunuan obediently nodded.

But she thought to herself, Old Woman Mrs.

Wang was plotting to divert trouble away from herself.

She also wondered whether Old Woman Zhu from Wayao Village had been arrested and whether she had any connection to Old Mrs.

Sun of the county town.

The book didn’t mention this.

And with the story changed, the future was even more unpredictable.

Meanwhile, at the guesthouse in Nanshan County Town,

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang finally found Lin Qing.

Lin Qing and Su Junze couldn’t leave for the time being, as they had to wait to go back with Old Mr.

Ji.

As soon as Old Woman Mrs.

Wang entered the door, she was about to kneel down to Lin Qing, asking her to speak kindly so that Wang Zhuzi would be released.

After all, they were family.

Lin Qing was so disgusted she wished she could kick her away.

Su Junze tugged at Lin Qing, motioning her to calm down.

The old lady obviously wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and it would be difficult to deal with her if she started making a scene.

Then Old Woman Mrs.

Wang blurted out the same old story,

“We’re uneducated and don’t know much.

How could I not stop Zhuzi from hitting his wife?

But Brigade Leader Song said it’s not illegal to beat a wife, that he could hit her as he pleased, and if she disobeys, just beat her up.

He even said that your sister is too proud and a few beatings would set her straight.

Even Song Ting, that damn girl, joined in, saying that anyone who marries into Erdao River Village should abide by the village rules and not always think about returning to the city, that if she dies, she deserves it.

Really, everyone said so, and our Zhuzi, being simple-minded, believed it…

It’s truly not our fault…”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang referred to people by name, making her story sound credible, causing Lin Qing’s gaze to flicker.

That differed from what her sister had said.

She had a long talk with her sister last night and knew Brigade Leader Song actually did intervene.

When she was planning to marry Wang Zhuzi, Brigade Leader Song even advised her to think it over.

He mentioned that the Wang family was domineering, and Old Woman Mrs.

Wang was not easy to get along with.

She was deceived by Wang Zhuzi’s sweet words at that time.

There were no scheming plots here.

It was simply a case of being deceived, nothing to do with Brigade Leader Song, and she should not misdirect her anger.

Moreover, Little Nuan even found Old Mr.

Ji for her, which was a kindness to remember.

Lin Qing said coldly, “He says it’s okay to beat up your wives, and you just do it?

You’re that obedient?”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang thought that if she could drag the Song family down, her own family would have an easier time.

Old Man Wang was waiting outside, and that was exactly what he had told himself.

And she thought it made sense.

“Yes, yes, yes, we’re definitely obedient.

He’s the Brigade Leader, of course, we listen to him.”

“So if he tells Wang Zhuzi to die, you would be obedient too?”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang instantly turned hostile, “How can you say that?

You’re his sister-in-law, telling your brother-in-law to die.

Aren’t you being too cruel?”

For the first time, Lin Qing saw someone with such thick skin, “Old lady, the divorce is definitely happening, and your son will definitely pay the price.

You keep saying beating your wife isn’t a crime, well then, you also have a husband.

Have your husband beat you until you’re nearly dead.

As long as you produce a medical report with injuries like that, I’ll let Wang Zhuzi off the hook.”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang glared furiously, “You’re such a malicious girl.

Who would dare marry someone like you into their family?”

“Murder for murder, debts must be paid; don’t talk to me about useless things.” Then Lin Qing called to the attendant at the service desk in the hallway, “Could you please escort this old lady out?

And, this floor has been booked by me.

I don’t allow any of the Wang family to come up, nobody.”

The attendant, a middle-aged woman, vaguely knew something and unceremoniously asked her to leave, “Hurry up and go, otherwise, when the security department comes, they won’t be as polite as I am.”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang’s murky eyes glared at Lin Qing, teeth clenched with undisguised resentment seething in them.

Lin Qing sneered coldly, too lazy to deal with her, and turned to look out the window.

At that moment, two tall and burly men came over.

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang recognized them as the ones who had gone with her that day.

Everyone looked at her with eyes full of disgust; she wanted to throw a tantrum and curse people, but under those condescending gazes, she ended up giving in completely.

When she saw the old man waiting at the front door, she finally started cursing viciously.

Old Guy Wang said impatiently, “What’s the matter, it’s not working?

You really want Zhuzi to end up behind bars?”

“It’s no use with the Lin family, there’s no way through,” Old Woman Mrs.

Wang whispered.

“You think Lin Qing is just trying to scare us?

I don’t believe Zhuzi will be sentenced.”

“Song Liang is going to testify; that complicates things,” said Old Man Wang, frowning.

“…The girl the Song family just brought back from the provincial city is really pretty, and that Asheng too.

I’ll make a trip to Old Mrs.

Sun’s place.

If I sell Song Yunuan for a good price, once both sister and brother are sold, I don’t believe Song Liang will still have the heart to testify.

If he doesn’t testify and our family refuses to agree to the divorce, no matter how tough that wretched Lin Qing is, she’ll have to negotiate with me on good terms.”

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang laughed sinisterly, “All of them think they’re so great because they’re from the city, looking down on country folk.

This time I’m going to make the Lin family pay.

Let’s go, to Old Mrs.

Sun’s house…”

Old Guy Wang followed her.

Old Woman Mrs.

Wang whispered again, “And there’s Song Ting, who was jilted.

We should sell her too; maybe we could make a fortune off of her.”

“All right, keep your voice down.

We’ll discuss it once we get to the Sun’s house.”

“Luckily, this time when I was selling the two money-losing goods, I didn’t go to the Sun family.

Otherwise, that old bastard would have killed me…”

“Someone’s coming, shut up!”

The two old scoundrels moved further away.

Meanwhile, the bus had returned to the station, and Sister Niu found her Second Uncle Niu.

He checked the load one by one and was very pleased.

Then, he took it to the canteen’s backyard, weighed it, and it was actually five hundred and twenty-seven pounds.

Old Man Song said they would ignore the loose change and give it to Second Uncle Niu to make dumplings.

Second Uncle Niu couldn’t refuse, and the little basket used to carry shepherd’s purse was just too appealing, so he happily accepted it.

Second Uncle Niu wanted to write a note, to collect the money from the finance department tomorrow.

Sister Niu said, “Second Uncle, the grandfather and grandsons have to make another trip to the county town tomorrow, so let’s settle it today.”
