qian is my daughter!" Dean Qin shouted excitedly outside.He and Zongbei were stopped by Zongyu who was guarding the door."You can't go in, there are many girls inside besides your daughter."Now all th...This news was incredibly shocking, and the villagers were instantly thrown into an uproar.

"What Hu Yaotou is already married in Xiahucheng!"

"So isn't this her running away from the marriage and eloping with someone else"

"That's right, we thought she was pitiful all along, that she was driven out by her clan. Turns out she abandoned them!"

"Bah! Shameless wretch, even her parents' and grandmother's funerals were handled by the Human Merit Society!"

That's it.

The women in the village were most displeased with this kind of woman who was fickle and indecisive. The more they scolded her, the more agitated they became, also because they had been deceived by Hu Ai Lan for such a long time.

She always pretended to be weak, and many girls in the village had been beguiled by her. They stood by her side and spoke ill of Fang Jinshiu and the second branch of the Zong family.

Even some people until just now still felt that Zongyu was a heartless man in their hearts.

These women who felt cheated were the angriest, some had already started picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at Hu Ailan.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang please don't say anymore."

Hu Ai-lan collapsed, unable to bear it any longer and burst into tears.

"I just want to make my life a little better. I've lived in their house for two years, and he still refuses to marry me, let alone look at me properly. Am I supposed to marry him and become a widow"

Back then, Zong Bo was the one who felt the most sorry for his older brother because he accompanied him to Xiahe Village and witnessed Hu Ailan falling into the arms of another man with his own eyes.

He angrily shouted, “If you think my brother is not a good match for you, why don't you just say it Breaking off the engagement wouldn't stop you from finding your ideal husband.”

"You chose the most shameful way. You stayed in my house, using my brother as leverage, while having an affair with a man outside."

"When he finally left, he secretly took all the savings from our house!"

Zong Bai filled in the parts Wang Zhuang, the village head, didn't know. Now everyone in the village didn't know what to say to curse Hu Ailan, this despicable woman.

"She was taken care of for two years, but she not only betrayed the family honor but also stole their savings"

"My goodness, how on earth does she have the face to come back to the village"

"It seems we really misunderstood Zong Yu before. Even though Hu Ai Lan treated him like that, he never said a word about it all these years."

"Isn't that right Zong Yu is a really good kid."

"Luckily, his mother married him to Fang Jinxiu. Otherwise, he would have continued to be harmed by Hu AiLan!"

"Now that you put it that way, I think I understand."

"All these rumors spread about the Second Branch of the Emotions Family recently, were they all spread by her"

"I said that the people from the second branch of the Zong family were so honest in the past, never spreading any rumors. How come lately all the gossip is about their family's reputation"

"Now it all makes sense, it's Hu Ai Lan, that dead girl, who's behind this. She even has the nerve to say that Fang Jinxiu stole her man."

"Tsk! Shameless."

This wasn't just the women from the village anymore; even the men who had previously thought of Hu Ai-lan as weak and pitiful began to berate her.

Hu Ailan had become the target of everyone's ire, gritting her teeth and enduring the insults, a venomous glint in her eyes that threatened to spill over.

Just then, Zhao shi suddenly appeared.

She pushed aside the crowd and rushed to Hu Ailan's face, hugging her tightly in her arms and shouting angrily at those around her.

"I'll have none of you bullying Little Hu! Get lost, all of you!"

"Huh Wasn't Zhao shi feuding with the village head, Wang, and going back to her parents' home"

Fang Jinshi glanced at Xiaoyue, who had just returned, and nodded at her.

"Mother! Mother, let her go, don't bother with her, she deserves this, it's all her own doing!"

Tier Zhu felt sympathy for his mother, and rushed forward to pull Zhao Shi away from Hu Ai Lan.

He didn't understand why his mother always had to protect someone like Hu Ai Lan.

Mrs. Zhao shoved her son hard. "Tie Zhu, you've really disappointed your mother. Hu's mother even breastfed you when you were little, and you let people bully her daughter like this!"

The village chief, Wang, also strode forward with a serious expression. “Who let you come back”

This has nothing to do with you, get out of here!

The more he said it, the more Zhao shi protected Hu Ailan and refused to let go.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Kill Hu Ai Lan this bitch! She's shameless and should be drowned!"

In villages facing water shortages, people commonly resort to burying living individuals in pig cages.

It's just as painful as trapping a person in a cage and throwing them into the water, both die from suffocation.

Huo Ailan shook her head desperately, a cold and fierce gleam flashing in her eyes. She didn't want to die!

Suddenly, she took out a pair of scissors from her body and held them against Zhao's neck.

Zhao was completely unprepared, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.

"If you come any closer, I'll kill her!"

"Let me go, let me go!"'s also followed suit, persuading Hu Ai Lan, 'Take the money and leave. Perhaps you'll find a way to survive.'"Her expression was one of reluctance. Hu Ai-lan quickly said, "Aunt Mu, what happened bac...
