After rebirth, my scumbag husband fell in love with me

In the afternoon, the village committee came to Gu's house with drums and gongs and presented Lin Youwei with a banner.

The village chief also held a welcoming banquet at the village committee and invited Lin Youwei to come and provide guidance.

All the important people in the village arrived and flattered Lin Youwei, and asked Aunt Pang to stand by and serve tea and water.

Aunt Pang's eyes were rolling up to the sky. Everyone knew that she and Lin Youwei didn't get along, but she was angry but dared not say anything.

People in the village only know that Lin Youwei is a rich girl, and they don’t know how well Gu Yan is doing now.

The village chief flattered, "Ms. Lin, you are the great benefactor of this village. If it weren't for you, the village would still be using kerosene lamps, and students would have to walk more than three hours to the town to go to school."

Lin Youwei's gloomy eyes fell on Auntie Pang, and she said sarcastically, "That's not right, Auntie Pang didn't say that..."

Aunt Fat's alarm bells immediately rang, her face turned pale with fear, "What did I say? I didn't say anything!"

Auntie Fatty's husband stood up and slapped her twice, spat on the ground, and said in a mean way, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, she has long hair and short knowledge, I will just beat her a few more times."

Aunt Pang was stunned, her cheeks were swollen and warm tears flowed from her desperate eyes.

Lin Youwei was startled, and a sense of guilt suddenly surged in her heart when she saw Aunt Pang's expression.

The village chief touched Lin Youwei's wine glass and said, "Don't worry about Aunt Fatty. She is used to being beaten and has a thick skin."

As if to verify this statement, Aunt Fat's husband stood up again, grabbed Aunt Fat's hair roughly, pushed her to the ground and started punching and kicking her.

Everyone else acted as if it was normal, covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

Three children ran over from the next table, knelt on the ground and cried.

"That's enough! Stop hitting her!" Lin Youwei pushed Aunt Fat's husband away and said sternly, "If you touch her again, I will call the police to arrest you!"

When she heard that they were going to call the police to arrest Auntie Pang’s husband, Auntie Pang got up from the ground, her bruised face full of anger, “Why call the police? None of your business is my business!”

Aunt Fat's husband happily returned to his seat, took a sip of wine, and said in a loud voice, "It's like this for all couples, fighting at the head of the bed and making up at the foot of the bed. Even though I'm beating her now, I still have to hug her and comfort her when I get home at night!"

There was a burst of malicious boos all around.

Gu Yan held Lin Youwei's hand and said, "The transportation in the village is blocked, and there are no entertainment activities. People drink after dark, and when they drink, they may... beat their wives."

Gu Yan was silent for a few seconds and added, "I am different from them, and not all people are like this."

Lin Youwei shook Gu Yan's hand in return. She was absolutely confident that Gu Yan would not dare to touch her.

Lin Youwei's gaze fell on Aunt Pang again. Aunt Pang stood beside her husband as obediently as a cat, her bruised face showing an expression of submissiveness.

It's really a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

After three rounds of drinks, all the men at the table were drunk.

The village chief put his arm around Gu Yan's shoulders and said with a thick tongue, "Xiao Yan, your whole family is a coward. The father and son acted like mice seeing a cat when they saw their wives. They were so cowardly. I really despise you."

Auntie Fatty's husband held the wine bottle, his eyes swollen like fish bubbles, "Village chief, you are wrong, Miss Lin looks like a fairy, if it were you, would you be willing to beat her?" He stretched out his hand and pinched Auntie Fatty's buttocks, "Only such a thick-skinned woman can be beaten, and we don't feel sorry for her."

Auntie Pang was so angry that her face turned red. She looked at Lin Youwei jealously and felt even more inferior. She gritted her teeth and said, "So what if she's pretty? She, she's killed someone! She's a murderer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the men at the table sobered up.

"What? Kill?"

Aunt Fat made up her mind and decided to go for broke. "I didn't lie. Feifei said that Lin Youwei beat a gangster to death in Yongzhen, and it was on the news!" As she spoke, she took out her cell phone, and a headline about a rich girl accidentally causing death appeared on the news.

Lin Youwei grabbed the phone in panic, tears falling uncontrollably, "Gu Yan, didn't you say that Sang Biao is not dead?"

Gu Yan took the phone and glanced at it. "This is not news released by authoritative media. Sang Biao is not dead. Don't worry."

Auntie Fatty's face was distorted. "You said she's not dead, so she's not dead? It's on the news, how could it be false?" She looked at the village chief. "Lin Youwei is now on bail pending trial. We just need to go to Yongzhen to investigate and we can expose their lies! A murderer like her doesn't deserve a banner! She doesn't deserve to be our benefactor!"

The village chief stood up tremblingly, took two or three steps back, and held on to a chair to avoid falling. "You, you really killed someone?"

Gu Yan stood in front of Lin Youwei and said in a resounding voice, "She didn't! She's not dead at all."

Auntie Pang's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, "So you admit that Lin Youwei did hurt someone? And, are you really sure that the person is not dead? Maybe he died after you left."

Boom! Like a thunderclap sounded in Lin Youwei's ears, a chill spread from the soles of her feet up, enveloping her heart.

Could it be true, as Aunt Pang said, that Sang Biao died after they left?

Did she really become a murderer?

"We can't live in the same village with a murderer! There are so many old people, children, women and children in the village. What if she suddenly goes crazy and kills us?"

"You really can't judge a person by his appearance. Bah, he looks like a decent person, but his heart is so vicious."

The people around began to accuse indignantly. They surrounded Gu Yan and Lin Youwei and looked at them with strong anger.

"Everyone, please don't be incited by those with ulterior motives. The news just now did not come from an authoritative media. Tomorrow, I will contact the Public Security Bureau of Yongzhen..."

Auntie Pang smiled coldly and interrupted Gu Yan, "Can the Public Security Bureau be trusted? Don't forget, Lin Youwei is rich. As long as she spends money, she can turn black into white!"

"Yes, money talks."

Gu Yan clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were cold and murderous, he knew that at this moment, no reason would make sense.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course, we're going to drive Lin Youwei out of the village!" Auntie Pang glanced at her husband and found that he didn't object. She added proudly, "If your family doesn't agree, then you all should get out of the village together!"

Gu Yan hugged the woman in his arms tightly, "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow."

"No!" Auntie Fatty looked like a smug villain, hugging her husband's arm and refusing to give in. "You leave now. We don't want to stay in the same village with a murderer for even a moment."

Gu Yan's face was grim. It was the coldest time of the year and if he walked out of the village, he would most likely freeze to death.

He looked at the village chief and said, "Village chief, the Lin family built roads for the village, provided water and electricity, and even built a school. The villagers don't care about our friendship and want to drive us away tonight?"
