213 Freedom
After enduring for so many years, Wen Qin had already lost hope for her future life. This time, she wanted to obtain an accounting position only to save money to send her son to school, but she didn’t expect such a big surprise.
However, this news wasn’t good for Madam Sun. For so many years, she had relied on this letter to control Wen Qin. If it was useless, how could Wen Qin listen to her orders in the future?
“This is treason! Do you guys plan to protect this bitch?”
She was just short of saying that the village chief was covering up for her. How could the village chief tolerate this?
“Madam Sun, don’t be unreasonable! A few people have already read and confirmed the contents of the letter. Moreover, our two countries are now on friendly terms. Don’t ruin the harmonious relationship between our two countries!”
Yu Bing smiled coldly and reminded her, “Madam Sun, you should be glad that this isn’t a letter of treason. Otherwise, if you didn’t report it, you would be the one most guilty of cover-up. It would be no different from treason!”
Madam Sun immediately came back to her senses. Her mouth moved, but she didn’t dare to speak again.
Madam Sun didn’t dare to cause trouble anymore, but Wen Qin wouldn’t forget the evil things Madam Sun had done to her. “Village Chief, there’s a book called ‘Women’s Virtue’ in my mother-in-law’s room. Every time she’s in a bad mood, she forces me to kneel in front of her bed and read it. In the summer, she forces me to fan her face and massage her legs all night. If anything went wrong, she would scald me with her pipe!”
After Wen Qin finished speaking, she rolled up her pants and they saw that her calf was covered in burns. There were new and old scars stacked on top of each other. Everyone was terrified by the sight!
When Madam Zhou saw this scene, she couldn’t help but walk forward angrily. “What did you promise me back then? You’re so unrepentant!”
The village chief didn’t expect someone to use such torture methods under his rule. This was no different from those landlords who oppressed the poor and treated the people at the bottom inhumanely!
“Sun Ying, you’re well-versed in the ways of those landlords who exploit and oppress others. I originally thought that you were sold to be a concubine of an old landlord and a victim of feudal society, but now, I think what you said back then was all a lie!”
After Madam Sun’s evil deeds had been exposed, she was so flustered that her legs went weak. She braced herself and continued to quibble, “I’m the victim. Wen Qin was in the wrong, so I taught her a lesson!”
Madam Zhou didn’t intend to hide it anymore. “Sun Ying, seems like you really won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. I shouldn’t have helped you hide it back then! Village Chief, when Sun Ying was a concubine in the past, she had a maidservant. You know that I used to be a helper in that landlord’s family. I saw Sun Ying whip that little maidservant a few times.”
“Later, after the new regime was established, the servants of the landlord’s family disbanded. Not long after that servant returned home, she died of illness. I hesitated about whether or not to reveal it. Sun Ying found me and said that she punished the servant because she had done something wrong. She also promised me that she wouldn’t use those torturous methods on anyone else in the future. I pitied her for having a blind son, so I didn’t reveal it.”
“I didn’t expect Sun Ying to be so vicious! We all know Wen Qin’s character. We also know how much she has contributed to the Sun family! Other than working, she usually stays at home. It’s only recently that she applied for an accounting position.”
With that, Madam Zhou looked at Madam Sun mockingly and said, “You have to find a more credible excuse.”
Just like that, Madam Sun’s background was exposed.
The village chief had to deal with this matter seriously, so he said, “Madam Sun, you have to accept everyone’s criticism and change your feudal mindset. In the future, you have to go to the weekly criticism meeting to reflect on yourself!”
Madam Sun knew that there was nothing she could do about this, so she sat on the ground with a defeated expression. In the past, she was the one who took the lead in criticizing others. Those were her most glorious moments. Even if there was nothing wrong with those people, she could fabricate a problem and slander them.
Only when Madam Sun saw those people begging for mercy in front of her would she feel the pleasure of power.
As Wen Qin looked at Madam Sun, who had been defeated, she knew that she was truly free now.
