She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 11 Accepting Her Concern
"Sister Yongcui, you said Yingyue would be in the alley, but Yingyue said she was not in the alley. It's very simple words, don't you understand?" Qin Xiuzhu asked with a blink of her eyes.

Liu Yingyue thought, how could Yang Yongcui not understand?

She is playing dumb.

"I said, I don't like walking in alleys and small roads. They are not safe. Who knows who may be hiding in them? Look, Luo Si'an is hiding in there stealing things. Yongcui, don't suggest me to take the small roads next time. I don't like it. By the way, next time you want to go to the toilet, tell me in advance. Don't leave me waiting in the woods. Fortunately, my mother and grandmother passed by that day, otherwise I would have been beaten to death." Liu Yingyue simply talked about the reason why she was framed.

Qin Yiran suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards Liu Yingyue, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy.

Yang Yongcui bit her lip when questioned by Liu Yingyue, and said with red eyes, "Yingyue, people have urgent needs, how could I have thought of it in advance? You were beaten in the grove the day before yesterday? Who beat you? I'm here to help you, just please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to leave you that day, I was really in a hurry. And today, I didn't know Luo Si'an would hide in there to steal things, I was kind enough to suggest you take a shortcut. If you misunderstand me, I will feel guilty to death."

Liu Yingyue sneered in her heart.

If Luo Si'an doesn't tell others about what happened that day, no one will know.

But Luo Si'an was scolded by Madam Liu, so he probably didn't dare to say it.

Yang Yongcui asked this deliberately, wanting everyone to know that Luo Sian wanted to do something bad to her that night. Was he trying to ruin her reputation?

How could she be fooled by Yang Yongcui?

As for what happened today, since no one testified, Yang Yongcui dared to make excuses.

"I didn't see clearly who it was. If you want to know, go ask my mother. My mother beat the person." Liu Yingyue shrugged and brought up Madam Liu.

Madam Liu gave birth to three sons and had many nephews. Her husband was also the head of the village. She was good at farm work and housework, and she was a fierce and tough person. No woman in the village dared to mess with her.

Yang Yongcui didn't even dare to ask Madam Liu.

Sure enough, when Yang Yongcui heard Liu Yingyue say this, she looked embarrassed and said, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. As long as you are safe and not bullied, that's good enough."

"Three times is the limit, Yang Yongcui." Liu Yingyue looked at her coldly.

"Sister Yingyue is timid. I will never leave you and will always be with you." Yang Yongcui said, biting her lip.

"No need for that. Next time I go out, I'll ask my brothers to keep me company." Liu Yingyue took out the two plasters she had just bought from her backpack. "Oh, this is the plaster for your sprain that you asked me to buy for you. The shopkeeper said it's 50 cents a pair, and the 100 cents you gave me is just enough to use up. I hope your foot gets better soon."

She threw two plasters into Yang Yongcui's arms.

Ten years ago, Yang Yongcui's scholar father broke his leg. The family relied on Madam Yang's work to make a living. The family was only slightly poorer than the Qin family.

Yang Yongcui spent a hundred cents to buy two sets of plasters, and her heart was bleeding with pain.

Besides, she was just pretending to be sick, so these two plasters were of no use to her.

But she still had to act grateful to Liu Yingyue, and took it with a slight smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yingyue."

Qin Xiuzhu blinked, stared at Yang Yongcui and asked, "Sister Yongcui, did you sprain your foot? Then why did you run so fast when you came to find us just now? Doesn't your foot hurt?"

"Oh? Did you run over to find you? When Yongcui asked me to buy some plaster just now, she said her feet hurt so much that she couldn't move. Why did you run away again?" Liu Yingyue stared at Yang Yongcui's feet and asked with a raised lip.

Yang Yongcui felt panicked and annoyed. Aren’t Qin Xiuzhu and Liu Yingyue sworn enemies?
Why did these two people stand together and ask her?

"I was worried that the donkey cart was lost, and I heard that there was a fight in the alley. I was worried about Yingyue, so I ran and forgot about the pain in my feet. Are you asking me this because you suspect I am pretending to be in pain?" Yang Yongcui touched her feet aggrievedly, "I have always thought of you as sisters. You suspect me like this, I... I am very sad."

"Ah, no, no, I don't doubt you, I'm just asking casually." Qin Xiuzhu waved her hands. "What about you, Yingyue? Do you doubt me too?" Yang Yongcui asked Liu Yingyue with red eyes again.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it, Yongcui." Liu Yingyue was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Yongcui's fake crying. She patted the donkey's back, walked to Qin Yiran, and handed him the crutches. "Brother Qin, when I was buying medicine for Yongcui's sprain, I saw a pair of crutches in the drugstore. They are better made and stronger than yours. Use this one."

She noticed that while Yang Yongcui was crying and speaking with grievance, Qin Yiran had a cold expression on his face and didn't say a word.

In the book, when the same scene appeared, Qin Yiran blamed the original owner for not understanding Yang Yongcui's painstaking efforts, for not getting along well with her sisters, and for being a narrow-minded person.

Today she exposed Yang Yongcui's lies, but Qin Yiran remained silent. Was it because he saw through Yang Yongcui's false face?
"This crutch is polished and shiny, much better looking than my own. Brother, try it and see if it works well." Qin Xiuzhu ignored Yang Yongcui, picked up the crutch and urged Qin Yiran to try it out quickly.

Qin Yiran glanced at Liu Yingyue's expectant eyes, took the new crutch, and tried to walk a few steps.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xiuzhu asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Qin Yiran responded lightly.

Although he was still very frugal with his words, Liu Yingyue was still very happy in her heart, because it meant that he had begun to accept her.

"Really? They look better than the old one you made yourself." Qin Xiuzhu helped Qin Yiran sit back on the ox cart, rubbed his stomach and said, "Ah, I'm hungry, brother, shall we buy something to eat? I'm so hungry."

"Let's have beef noodles." Qin Yiran said, looking at the beef noodle restaurant not far away.

"Ah? Really? Brother!" Qin Xiuzhu rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Put your things down and go to the beef noodle restaurant." Qin Yiran nodded at Qin Xiuzhu, leaning on his crutches, and walked forward.

After taking two steps, he turned back to look at Liu Yingyue and said, "Let's go together."

Liu Yingyue raised her lips and smiled, "Okay, Brother Qin."

Qin Yiran walked into the beef noodle restaurant on crutches. Qin Xiuzhu parked the ox cart by the roadside, picked up the old crutches and two baskets on the cart, and happily ran after Qin Yiran, urging Liu Yingyue to hurry up while running.

"I got it. I'll come right away." Liu Yingyue stopped the donkey in front of the noodle shop, took off the harness and went into the shop.

Yang Yongcui bit her lip, feeling uneasy about whether to leave or not.

She hardened her heart and stopped the donkey cart and followed them into the noodle shop.

The noodle shop was full of people.

When Yang Yongcui found Qin Yiran and the others, she discovered that there were already three bowls of beef noodle soup on the table.

Obviously, Qin Yiran didn't choose hers.

Yang Yongcui walked over, sat down at the table, gave herself a step down, and said awkwardly, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat, I'll wait for you."

"Oh, then we won't be polite." Qin Xiuzhu held the bowl and started slurping the noodles.

Liu Yingyue glanced at her, curled the corners of her lower lip coldly, and lowered her head to eat noodles.
