1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and after he uttered a scornful laugh, he immediately took over the conversation and said in a tone full of sarcasm: "Hey, you don't know, Uncle Dahu's father-in-law was in critical condition a few days ago, and he finally couldn't make it, and passed away. Uncle Dahu and his family have been gone for some time. I'm surprised, how could he have the time to come here and deliver roast chicken to the Jia family? Could it be that someone wants him to take the blame for someone else? This is really unkind!"

Qin Huairu was standing aside at this time, and her mood after hearing these words was simply indescribable.

That feeling was both awkward and embarrassing, as if I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

She secretly complained in her heart. She hadn't seen Li Dahu recently, so how could she know that he was not at home?

Now, a little lie I told was exposed so easily in public. It's so embarrassing!

In an instant, Qin Huairu felt her face burning, as if she was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

The tears in her eyes were like a flood that broke through the dam. She could no longer hold it back and they flowed down from the corners of her eyes like raindrops.

The crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks, one drop after another, and soon formed a small puddle of water on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Xu Damao, who was standing by, not only did he not show any sympathy, but instead took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, gloating, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Alright, alright, now the truth is out! Since the chicken was not sent by Li Dahu, it must have been given by some other man. Oh my! Look at some people, they don't even know how to write the word 'shame', and they actually want others to take the blame, tut tut tut..."

After saying that, Xu Damao shook his head pretentiously, his face full of contempt.

"Okay, everyone, stop gathering here and go do what you need to do! Judging from the current situation, even if we keep asking until tomorrow morning, we probably won't be able to figure out where this chicken came from."

At this moment, Sha Zhu, who had always stayed out of the Jia family's affairs, unexpectedly muttered in a low voice, "Eight Treasures Roast Chicken? I remember a stationmaster gave two to Deputy Director Li the day before yesterday. How could it be such a coincidence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been gradually dispersing suddenly became noisy again as if a pot of boiling water had exploded.

Especially the workers who worked in the steel mill were whispering to each other.

You know, the dirty joke about Deputy Director Li having a tryst with someone in the office and making noises has been circulating in the factory for a long time, and now the appearance of this eight-treasure roast chicken has pointed the finger at Qin Huairu.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was completely stunned, and her face turned as pale as paper.

She never dreamed that Sha Zhu, who usually ignored the affairs of the Jia family, would actually say such words in public, ruthlessly tearing off the last bit of her face.

"Woooooooo..."

Qin Huairu could no longer endure the pointing and strange looks from the people around her, so she covered her face with her hands, staggered through the crowd, and ran straight towards the central courtyard.

Jia Zhang, who was standing nearby, was also completely stunned at first, until she saw Qin Huairu running away and then she came to her senses.

However, at this moment people were already talking about it, and all kinds of unpleasant words were heard.

The looks people gave her were full of sarcasm and ridicule, which made her feel ashamed.

"Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, let's go home quickly!"

Even though Jia Zhang's face was usually thicker than a city wall, at this moment, facing the contemptuous and condemning eyes of the people around her, her old face felt hot and she no longer had the dignity to stay here and embarrass herself.

She lowered her head like a defeated rooster, holding the hands of her two children tightly, and walked hurriedly towards her home.

However, at this moment, Yan Bugui suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Hey! Don't forget the compensation you should pay! Since your family is so rich now, don't delay paying it, or we poor people will worry about it all day long!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the people present, and many of them showed expressions of gloating on their faces.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong curled his lips and snorted with disdain: "Humph, it really proves the old saying - a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame will be invincible!

Look at this family, I don’t know where they get the confidence to be so arrogant and domineering.

No wonder there was never a shortage of food and drink at home, it turned out that it was obtained through such despicable means!

Come on, let's go home quickly. It's unlucky for me to stay with such a family!"

After saying that, he took the lead, carrying his enamel pot, and walked towards the backyard.

As Liu Haizhong left, the other onlookers seemed to have received some kind of signal and began to join in the fun.

Some people accused the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family of being shameless, some people laughed at Qin Huairu for slandering a good person, and all kinds of unpleasant words flooded towards the three people of the Jia family like a tide.

Now Jia Zhang said nothing, just kept her head down and quickened her pace to flee the scene.

Seeing the Jia family members fleeing and disappearing from his sight, Li Weiguo couldn't help but feel an indescribable hatred in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, Qin Huairu is really shameless to the extreme!

Thinking back then, it was clearly she who cruelly abandoned Li Dahu, wanting only to marry and live a good life in the city.

But now, in order to save her so-called face, she actually tried to push all the responsibilities onto Li Dahu and let him take the blame for her.

How could she be so cruel as to torture someone?

Fortunately, the three of them testified for Li Dahu today, otherwise Li Dahu would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

After returning home, Li Weiguo sat on the bench in the main room, feeling indignant and still thinking about what had happened today.

Li Weimin came over angrily and said, "Brother, how could Qin Huairu do this? Isn't she destroying Uncle Dahu's reputation?"

Li Xinchuang also said: "Qin Huairu is a very evil woman. We must stay away from her in the future. I also want to warn your uncle Dahu that no matter whether he knows Qin Huairu or not, he can't have any contact with her anyway."

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "Today's incident serves as a reminder for us. We must be more careful in what we do and say in the future so as not to be schemed against by others."

"Yeah, brother. If we didn't know that Uncle Dahu was not in town today, we would have let her succeed." Li Weimin echoed.

Li Weiguo slowly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, and looked straight in the direction of the Jia family.

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu!" Li Weiguo thought to himself, "This time you took the initiative to come to our house, stir up trouble, and cause trouble for our Li family. Do you really think that we, the Li family, are easy to bully?"

Thinking of this, his fists clenched unconsciously, and anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
