1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

At this moment, a tense and awkward atmosphere was permeating the yard of Li Quanzhen's house.

The quarrel between Qin Xinghua and Li Quanzhen was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the entire village and attracting neighbors to gather around.

Those who had heard the quarrel between the two began to talk about it indignantly.

"Li Quanzhen is such a jerk. Dahu is such a pitiful child. He is sick and still being schemed against by his father!"

A skinny old man spoke first. He shook his head and sighed, his face full of dissatisfaction with Li Quanzhen.

"That's right! Everyone knows that Da Hu kept delaying his treatment and medication. As Da Hu's biological father, how could you go against your conscience and do such a thing!"

An old lady echoed this, her voice becoming sharp with anger.

"I also heard that Li Quanzhen always cried and complained about his poverty in front of Uncle Quanfu, pretending to be so pitiful. Who would have thought that he was the one who wanted to take the things for himself? He is so evil!"

A young man couldn't help but raise his voice, his eyes full of contempt.

"Oh my, this is incredible! On one side is my own son, and on the other side is my own elder brother. This is really like judging a person by his appearance but not by his heart!"

"That's right! I was wondering why Big Brother Quanfu and his family moved away without telling them. It turns out that they are... oh my... how embarrassing!"

"Now the truth is out! So this is what happened..."

Everyone was talking at once, and their words were like sharp arrows shooting at Li Quanzhen.

At this time, Li Quanzhen was standing in the middle of the yard, his face pale and beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

He felt as if the accusatory gazes around him were going to pierce through him, leaving him naked in front of everyone as if he had been stripped of his clothes.

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Xinghua was originally a little timid after being yelled at by Li Quanzhen, but when she heard the neighbors accusing her so mercilessly, the anger in her heart was suddenly ignited.

She sat down on the ground, slapped the ground with her hands, and started to rage: "Oh my God!... Open your eyes and take a look. These people have nothing better to do than to stand at people's doorsteps and gossip! Oh my God!... I'm not going to live any longer!..."

This commotion made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Qin Xinghua, do you still think you're right? You do such a wicked thing and you don't even want people to say anything?" A hot-tempered sister-in-law stood up and pointed at Qin Xinghua and said loudly.

"That's right! Don't you think about how good the Quanfu family is to you? If we remember correctly, except for Da Hu's wife, your family didn't borrow money from the Quanfu family. The marriages of the other sons were all paid by the Quanfu family. And you are so good that you are cheating them! You are really ungrateful!"

A villager said angrily.

"People like this should be punished!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone responded.

Li Quanzhen finally couldn't bear all the accusations. He lowered his head, hunched his body, and fled into the house in a panic, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him.

When Qin Xinghua saw Li Quanzhen running away, she started to curse even more unscrupulously: "What does it have to do with you? Get out of here! This is our family business, you have no right to complain..."

At this time, an elder of high moral character in the crowd spoke up: "Everyone in the town, don't be so ungrateful. You have done something wrong and are still so arrogant. Our village will not tolerate such evil practices!"

Qin Xinghua refused to listen and continued to curse.

The villagers were very angry when they saw Qin Xinghua being so unreasonable.

Someone said: "We can't let them be so arrogant, we need to ask the village chief to judge the matter!"

"Yes, let's find the village chief!" everyone responded.

An enthusiastic villager turned around and ran towards the village chief's house without saying a word.

In fact, he was just thinking about the kindness of Li Quanfu's family and wanted to repay their kindness. Thinking of this, his steps became more hurried.

After a while, the village chief was hurriedly called over.

At this moment, the villagers were still arguing with Qin Xinghua. Qin Xinghua was besieged by the villagers, but she didn't restrain herself at all, and she became more and more courageous...

Qin Xinghua was still sitting on the ground, her face covered with snot and tears, which she wiped away, making it look funny.

As soon as the village chief entered the yard and saw the chaotic scene, his brows frowned.

"Stop making noise!" The village chief shouted, and the yard suddenly became quiet.

Qin Xinghua calmed down a bit when she saw the village chief coming, but she was still muttering, "Another busybody..."

The village chief looked at Qin Xinghua and the closed door seriously and said, "Qin Xinghua, our village has always been harmonious and supportive of each other. What is going on in your family?"

Qin Xinghua lowered her head, not daring to look the village chief in the face.

The village chief continued, "On the way here today, I heard from the villagers that what you two did was really bad. You must give everyone an explanation for this matter. So you can return the things you stole and apologize to Brother Quanfu and Dahu! We should have a conscience!"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the villagers responded one after another: "That's right, we ate and took other people's things, and now we have to apologize..."

"That's the truth... they really shouldn't..."

The villagers started talking again, and all their words reached the ears of Li Quanzhen who was eavesdropping in the house.

He is not young anymore, how can he tolerate the gossip of the villagers.

He knew that if he didn't step out to stop it now, what he did tonight would become a side dish for the villagers' dinner table.

No, he must stop them. This matter cannot be spread any further. Although his elder brother and his wife are not in the village, he does not want to become the subject of discussion among the villagers.

Thinking of this, Li Quanzhen pushed the door open and walked out. Although the shame on his face was hard to hide, he still stood up.

As soon as he went out, he looked up and saw the villagers surrounding the yard. He looked away and didn't dare to look anyone in the eye.

When his eyes fell on the village chief, his face was filled with shame.

However, thinking that this matter was originally his family's affair and even the village chief had no power to interfere, he plucked up his courage again and spoke out what was in his heart.

He frowned and said to the village chief in a low voice: "Village chief, this is our own business, you'd better not interfere."

He secretly groaned in his heart. The money and food were gone long ago. How could he possibly go back? Wasn't this too difficult for him?

When the village chief heard this, he frowned and stared at Li Quanzhen with a sharp gaze, saying sternly: "Li Quanzhen, you said this is your family affair? We cousins ​​grew up together. I never thought you were such a person!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the yard was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

The villagers looked at each other, and they all realized that the village chief was angry about what Li Quanzhen said.
