Unexpectedly, the little boy threw himself into her arms and cried out in a sobbing tone," "Iron Egg thought he would never see his sister again. Sister, don't leave mother and me, wuu …"
The resentment in the little girl's heart disappeared, and her eyes became a bit hot. She hugged Iron Egg and comforted him, "How could Sister leave? I haven't seen him grow into a man yet."
Wang Plum Blossom who was watching from the side said with tears in her eyes, "Child, you …"
After coaxing the iron egg, Chen Jiao stood up. Since she'd taken Chen Jiao's place to live, then she'd be called Chen Jiao's mother in the future. Her little brother and mother would be raised by her.
She did not believe that she, a good 20th century entrepreneur, would be unable to support her mother and brother.
"Burn her to death! This scapegoat, Chen Jiao Niang, is an ominous thing that has come to seek our lives! If we don't burn her, we won't be able to live in this village! "
A group of men holding torches suddenly appeared outside the clan, and the middle-aged man in the lead was precisely Chen Jiao's mother's father-in-law, Lin Zhi.
Chen Jiao Niang looked over fiercely. She didn't expect that not only did this group of people drown her, they even wanted to burn her to death!
When Lin Zhicai saw her looking over at him, he retreated two steps and spoke while trembling, "Chen Jiao Niang, you evil spirit!" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his wife lying motionless on the ground. She was disheveled as she screamed, "You unfilial son, what did you do to your mother-in-law!?"
Chen Jiao twitched her ears in annoyance. Why did this couple love to scream so much?
"Father, it's not like you haven't seen what I've done. Granny was just too afraid of me coming back to life that she peed her pants. If you don't believe me, you can ask the clan leader."
Even the clan leader who had been called out did not dare to lie in front of everyone. With a dry cough, he advised, "Fourth elder, please stop messing around and bring your wife home to change into a pair of pants."
Everyone roared with laughter. Seeing that the Patriarch was still fine and Wang Plum Flower was still standing by her daughter's side, everyone felt that it was impossible for Chen Jiao to be a dead person.
Lin Zhicai's face also turned red. Ever since he had become an Elementary Scholar, no one in the village dared to look down on him. Who would have thought that he would be defeated by a woman in his entire life?
The more he thought about it, the more he hated her. Lin Zhicai gritted his teeth and pointed a torch at Chen Jiao Niang. "You monster!" I've read so many holy books, but I've never seen anyone revive from the dead! You still want to seduce the masses, do you want to find a scapegoat to kill us? "
When these words were spoken, the crowd that was originally laughing retreated a few steps. At this moment, people believed these words the most. It was originally unlucky to be able to come back to life after dying.
As expected of someone who had studied for two years, Chen Jiao almost wanted to clap for him. Taking advantage of people's superstitious mindset, could it be that he was the only one who knew?
"What do you mean by this, my daughter-in-law? She's only living because of the blessings of my family. He can't bear to see that there's no one by the two elders' side to serve her, so he sent me back to the world to serve the two elders. I didn't think that the two elders would treat me like this!" As she spoke, Chen Jiao even wiped away the tears that didn't exist at the corners of her eyes.
The villagers were whispering to each other. The Elementary Scholar Lin did not care for her and wanted to send her back to serve the two elders. He was a very filial person.
"Nonsense!" The fainted Lin Lanzhi suddenly jumped up and scolded, "Are you still not mad at my son that you're a witch who stole from a man? Does he think you're dirty?" A slut that rides thousands of people! "
Chen Jiao Niang looked coldly at her. This era was the most important time for women, and reputation was also the most important thing. If she wanted to establish herself in this era, how could she live without a good reputation? Lin Lanzhi started to say this about her, but she could not scold back because of the word "filial piety."
Anger raged in her heart, but the lady remained calm and composed on the surface, "Granny always says that my daughter-in-law stole people, but can Granny tell me first who exactly my daughter-in-law ended up with!"
"If I didn't cause my daughter-in-law to sink into a depression, how would I be able to see my younger brother and mother if my husband didn't pity me?" Chen Jiao's face was filled with grief, but it wasn't an act. Fragments of memories flashed through her mind when she was unconscious. The original body did often have men expressing a favorable impression towards her due to her beauty, but she was naturally shy and often stayed indoors. She didn't even know a few men, let alone having an affair with them.
Yet, such a pure and innocent girl had caused so much trouble just because of her face. How could these people be able to make her sink into such a predicament?
Before falling into the water, those women who stood on the shore watching the show were filled with jealousy and schadenfreude. They were jealous of the beauty of the young lady and enjoyed the disaster caused by her beauty. This was the human heart.
"Since everyone was the one who discussed and decided to sink me, then now that I, Chen Jiao, have narrowly escaped death, I want to seek justice for myself. I want to ask everyone, whose man did I seduce all these years and which outsider have a conversation with? And why did you agree to sink me?!"
It had been almost 50 years since such a thing had happened in the village. The imperial government had long abandoned private law and allowed women to remarry, so where would they get the clan rule to decide to kill someone?
No one spoke, no one dared to look at her. Even those girls who were jealous of her appearance lowered their heads in guilt.
But what Chen Jiao wanted wasn't only guilt, she also had the capital to be able to settle down in the village in the future.
"Since no one is speaking, then tell us why the clan is treating me like this, clan leader!"
Lin Hongtao didn't dare look Chen Jiao in the eye with resentment. When Old Fourth's two sons were in the branch family, Jiao's family divided up into nine good fields, and after her husband took the Elementary Scholar examination, they split up into ten acres of good fields. However, after her husband died, those fields fell into her hands, and she was unable to bear a child or a girl by her side.
Now that he thought about it, why had he been so distracted at the time?
After understanding Lin Hongtao's personality, Lin Zhi was afraid that he would reveal the promise he had made that day, so he hurriedly shouted, "You said you want the villagers to testify for you! But look, who's testifying for you? They all agree that you stole my man, that you were the one who killed my son! I'm going to send you to the magistrate! "
