I become a god in another world

Chapter 172

"Second sister-in-law, did you know earlier?"

Kuai San's wife was surprised and couldn't believe it.

When they learned that Mrs. Zhuang Si was having an affair with someone else, the entire Kuai Liang Village didn't believe it at first.

Kuai Huaide is a scoundrel, as disgusting as a toad. Although there are rumors in the village that they have ruined the reputation of the Fourth Lady Zhuang, and everyone is gossiping behind her back. In fact, this malice is not directed at the Fourth Lady Zhuang, but is dissatisfied with Kuai Wu.

He was lazy, drunk and made trouble, and was disliked by everyone in the village.

Kuai Liang Village is a clan system, and all resources in the clan are allocated by Uncle Kuai Liu. Every year, Kuai Wu never pays the government's land tax. Uncle Kuai Wu makes the final decision, asking everyone in the village to collect some and cover it for him. .

It was okay at first. For the sake of the late Kuai Jumin, everyone kept silent about it, but they couldn't stand to do it every year.

Why should everyone in the village share the taxes for Kuai Wu when he was drinking and causing trouble while everyone was working hard?
As time passed, everyone complained deeply about Kuai Wu, and gradually became dissatisfied with Kuai Liushu.

Under the calm and united appearance of Kuai Liang Village, undercurrents gradually arise.

The matter between Kuai Huaide and Zhuang Si's wife was like a vent, allowing many people who had long been dissatisfied with Kuai Wu to vent their resentment and displeasure by ridiculing Kuai Wu.

"But honestly speaking, no one thinks that the Fourth Lady would really have an affair with someone. She has a docile character and it is impossible for her to do such a scandal."

Kuai's wife sighed:
"After all the incidents with foreigners were revealed, the villagers began to think that Huaide was talking nonsense."

Uncle Kuai Liu didn't believe it either. He remembered the farce in the past, so he first had Kuai Huaide tied up and beaten severely - but he didn't know that this last thing was true.

But is this true?
Zhao Fusheng actually already had the answer in his mind. Even if Mrs. Zhuang was really having an affair with someone, it would not be a strange thing.

She was born into a miserable life, never received love and care since she was a child, married to an unkind man, and was entangled by the scoundrel Kuai Huaide, which ruined her reputation and made her situation even more difficult.

The appearance of foreigners at this time was a rare warmth in her life, and it was not unimaginable that she would be shaken.

Looking at Kuai's second wife's face, Zhao Fusheng always felt that this taciturn second sister-in-law knew a lot of inside information.

"Did she really have an affair with someone?"

She asked knowingly and looked at Kuai's second daughter-in-law, who nodded silently:

"I really got along with that foreigner. I didn't think so at first. The foreigner had a wife in his early years, but unfortunately his wife died early. Later, he raised two sons and one daughter alone. Now he earns money by walking around and selling goods. I want to Marry a wife for your son and live frugally.”

"When Si Niang saw that his clothes were torn, she sewed them for him. When she saw that it was difficult for a grown man to wash his clothes, she washed them for him. The foreigner told the public that he had paid her to hire her."

In this way, people in the village can no longer gossip.

Although the foreigner is older, he is thoughtful and thoughtful. Compared with Kuai Huaide's reckless impulsiveness, he wins the heart of the fourth lady Zhuang.

On one side was a sloppy husband who was cold, drunk and beating, and on the other was a foreigner who helped her at a critical moment. She couldn't resist the temptation, and eventually made a mistake, which led to her death.

"Second sister-in-law——"

Kuai's third daughter-in-law still looked shocked, not believing that this honest second sister-in-law actually knew such a secret:
"D-did you know earlier?"

At this point, there was no use hiding it. Kuai's second daughter-in-law simply nodded:
"The two were having a tryst in the mountains, and I bumped into them once."

This second daughter-in-law of Kuai will never stop dying if her words are not surprising.

As soon as she finished speaking, not only Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment, but also the other three daughters-in-law of the Kuai family were stunned and stared at the second sister-in-law, speechless.

"The two of them were picking white persimmons together. While Siniang was working, the foreigner was helping her pick it up."

Kuai's second daughter-in-law said calmly.

Zhao Fusheng suddenly looked at her differently.

At first she thought that Kuai's second daughter-in-law was very cautious, honest and introverted, didn't talk too much, and believed that misfortune comes from the mouth.

But he didn't expect that he had made a mistake. Although Kuai's second daughter-in-law was introverted, she could see many things and she could still hide secrets.

"You——" Kuai's wife stared blankly at the younger brother and sister.

She smiled and said, "You two look at me, and I look at you, and occasionally smile at each other, but it turns out something is wrong."

"Second sister-in-law, didn't you scold them?" Kuai's fourth daughter-in-law also asked in a low voice, somewhat disbelieving.

"What are you blaming?" Kuai's second daughter-in-law suddenly boldly asked her:
"You don't know what kind of person Lao Wu is? No matter how much Si Niang owes him, she has already paid it off in the past few years. What's more, does Si Niang owe him?" No one answered her rhetorical question.

The second daughter-in-law twitched her lips and sighed:
"What kind of life does Si Niang live? From morning to night, all year round, as long as she keeps her eyes open, there is never a moment of leisure."

"She has suffered enough. We women must have something to look forward to in this life."

She lowered her head, and the shadow quickly covered her eyebrows, making it difficult for people to see clearly the expression on her face. They could only see her gray hair, which was old, wrinkled, and her skin tone was uneven, with some slight spots in some places. A somewhat darkened forehead.

"If she stays here, she will only die and follow the strangers. At least she will have a stutter and be able to survive." After saying this, he laughed like a self-mockery:
"No matter how bad it is, it's still better than following Lao Wu, right?"

"..."

The words of Kuai's second daughter-in-law were too unexpected.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but look surprised, not to mention the eldest daughter-in-law of Kuai.

"Aren't you afraid that your second brother will beat you to death..."

The third daughter-in-law Kuai stammered, looking at the second sister-in-law as if she was going crazy.

"Third brother, didn't you also know this earlier?" Kuai's second daughter-in-law raised her head and stared at Kuai's third daughter-in-law with a smile.

"what?!"

Now Kuai's eldest daughter-in-law and Kuai's fourth daughter-in-law were both shocked. It seemed as if there was a piece of iron sitting under their buttocks. They stood up bouncing and stared at the third daughter-in-law:
"Third brother, you——"

"I, I don't-"

The quick-talking third daughter-in-law was visibly panicked.

Her lips instantly lost color, her face turned pale, and her whole body was trembling:
"No, there is no such thing——"

"I've seen it all." Kuai's second daughter-in-law originally looked timid and cowardly, but now she became the calmest among the four sisters-in-law:
"If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. If they meet like this, sooner or later something will come out. Huaide keeps a close eye on Siniang. The foreigner lives with him under the same roof. Although the interactions between the two are secretive, they arouse his interest. Suspicious."

"..."

When Kuai San's wife heard this, her hands began to tremble.

She was terribly frightened.

"One night before the accident, these two people met under the eaves behind the circle and talked quietly." Kuai Huaide had been keeping an eye on them for a long time. When he heard the outsider getting up in the next room, he followed him.

Although one was cautious, he didn't expect that the wall had ears; the other was resentful and wanted to catch the traitor, so he restrained his steps.

Calculating mentally but not intentionally, the outsider had no idea that he was being targeted by Kuai Huaide.

But when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows behind.

When Kuai Huaide got up, Kuai's third wife was also paying attention to the fourth wife Zhuang.

She heard Kuai Laowu's loud snoring in the next room. Madam Zhuang Sisuo opened the door and followed her after hesitating.

"That night, I got up too."

Kuai's second daughter-in-law glanced at her sister-in-law and said lightly.

Kuai San's wife trembled all over. Her thoughts went back to the night before the incident, when she was walking behind Mrs. Zhuang Si. At that time, her heart was extremely complicated.

He felt pity for Mrs. Zhuang's plight, but also hated her for having an affair without living up to her expectations. He was also worried that others would find out about her affair, and that she would end up miserable if the scandal was exposed.

Just when she was feeling uneasy, she saw Kuai Huaide.

At that moment Kuai's third daughter-in-law's blood froze.

Somehow, she suddenly shouted:
"Huaide, what are you doing there in the middle of the night? It's like being a thief."

She cursed loudly in the night.

As the saying goes, it is enough to scare the snake away.

Kuai's third daughter-in-law's scolding at night not only frightened Kuai Huaide, who wanted to catch him, but also Zhuang and Chen, who were about to meet, were also frightened, and they quickly withdrew their heads. Sneak back to their respective homes.

A crisis disappeared, and all this happened to be seen by Kuai's second daughter-in-law, who was secretly spying on the side.

"You stopped Huaide with a loud voice and scared away the Fourth Lady and the strangers, so that this matter was temporarily concealed."

Kuai's second daughter-in-law stared at Kuai's third family:
"is not it?"

She seemed docile and silent before, but she didn't expect that she also had an aggressive side now.

Kuai's third daughter-in-law, who was originally sharp-tongued and didn't look like someone to be trifled with, turned pale when she asked her, and didn't dare to say a word.

"Third sister-in-law, you - you -"

The fourth daughter-in-law Kuai stared at the third sister-in-law with her eyes wide open:
"Is what the second sister-in-law said true?"

She knew in her heart that the third child was a fierce and fierce person who was famous in the village. If anyone wronged her or provoked her, she would dare to rush to the door of someone's house with a knife.

But at this time, she was being questioned by Kuai's second daughter-in-law, but she looked weak and did not dare to say a word.

This attitude is already obvious.

The fourth daughter-in-law of Kuai was completely confused:

"This, this is impossible..." She kept shaking her head and looked at her sister-in-law:
"That day something happened to my fourth mother, and my third sister-in-law slapped her hard several times until her mouth was bleeding. She asked her why she wanted to steal someone -"

When she said this, tears suddenly flowed from Kuai's third daughter-in-law's eyes:

"I'm afraid."

After saying that, she burst into tears:

"That's the fourth lady, that's the fourth lady!" While crying, she beat her chest hard.

She tilted her face upward, the veins in her neck bulged high, and she cried heartbreakingly:
"Fourth Lady, I don't want her to die. My family was almost kidnapped by kidnappers in Wulitun back then. It was she who tried her best to bring my son back."

"Afterwards, someone bit off a piece of flesh on the back of her hand. It was soaked in water and so rotten that the bones were almost visible. She even comforted me."

Kuai’s third daughter-in-law, who seemed calm before, finally couldn’t stand it any longer:
"She was in pain for many days and couldn't work. That bastard Lao Wu even beat her because he thought she was too slow and her cooking was not delicious—"

"Mangen is my lifeblood. If my son is abducted, I won't be able to survive. Siniang saved his life and also saved my life. How can I see anything happen to her?"

"!!!"

"..."

This is really shocking.

When Zhao Fusheng first chatted with these women, he actually had some preconceived impressions of these women because of the life of Lady Zhuang Si.

Even when she was at Uncle Kuai's sixth uncle's house, she didn't believe him when he said that the four sisters-in-law of Kuai's family were all filial and simple and had good moral character.

But what Kuai San's daughter-in-law shouted now shocked her.

Herein lies the complexity of human nature.

"really interesting."

She murmured to herself, then showed a thoughtful look.

"Third sister-in-law——" The fourth daughter-in-law was also frightened by her performance and called her at a loss. The third daughter-in-law could only cry.

It was late at night, and Kuai Liang Village was plunged into eternal night after the accident. Everyone was in a low mood, and not many people went out for activities.

After the chaos of day and night, many people may not be asleep at the moment. She is crying so loudly, and the words she shouts are still very impactful. Isn't she afraid of being heard?

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

"Third sister-in-law, if that's the case, why did you beat Si Niang that day?" The fourth daughter-in-law asked in confusion:

"At that time, you beat her so hard and scolded her so harshly. I thought, I thought you were complaining that she had stained our family's reputation and our ancestors."

"I am afraid--"

After Kuai's third daughter-in-law finished crying, her courage failed. Realistic rules, identity and the terrible clan system turned into an invisible mountain, weighing on her heart.

Her eyes were still very red and swollen from crying, but the previous desperate impulse to go crazy had faded from her face, and instead she said timidly:

"I'm afraid that if people find out that she stole someone, and I cover for her, my man will kill me."

"I don't dare, I don't dare to go with her, so I have to beat her and let others see-"

She said a little guilty.

"Since we've already talked about it now, sister-in-law, why don't you just talk about it in detail."

Kuai's second daughter-in-law seemed very happy when she saw this scene. She turned to look at the eldest daughter-in-law and caught her off guard with one sentence:
"me……?"

"Yes."

Kuai's second daughter-in-law smiled and said:

"They made an appointment. The foreigner named Chen will leave one day early, and the fourth lady will leave the day after."

The fifth family of Kuai was extremely poor, and the fourth wife of Zhuang was penniless and did not even have the money to cross the river.

The outsiders came to Kuai Liang Village to buy Baisu, but they didn't expect to spend some money here to eat and live here for a while and help Mrs. Zhuang Si buy grain.

Now that the two of them were going to elope, he didn't have much money, so he wanted to keep the remaining money for his wife and Mrs. Zhuang's return home later.

Therefore, the two of them discussed asking the fourth lady Zhuang to lie to the ferryman, saying that she had something to do to cross the river, and that she owed him money first and would pay it back when she came back - in fact, the two of them could not pay it back.

"Sister-in-law, you learned the news and found the ferryman who was punting the boat in advance. You gave him two dollars privately and asked him to send the Fourth Lady across the river. Ask him to allow the Fourth Lady to take the money on credit and pay him in the future."

The three sisters-in-law of the Kuai family are all helping secretly.

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she did not refute.

The progress of the matter so far was beyond Zhao Fu's expectations, but when the eldest daughter-in-law turned to look at Kuai Si's daughter-in-law, she still raised her right eyebrow.

Kuai's wife said:
"From the fourth family, you also helped."

"Yes."

Unlike the previous situation where Kuai's third daughter-in-law tried her best to refute, Kuai's fourth daughter-in-law actually readily admitted it after hearing this.
