Chapter 54 The past
Wei Ling's arrogant remarks as a vicious female supporting role once again stunned Du Juan.

After she reacted, she covered her mouth and smiled, with stars in her eyes.

"I understand. I won't let you down."

Her words were harsh, but they were all for the good of Shang Xiaojun and Shang Rong, so Du Juan didn't care.

Wei Ling snorted coldly, thinking that this person was quite sensible. She thought about giving her a few more words of advice. When she turned around, she met Shang Xiaojun's inquiring eyes, and immediately acted obediently and turned her head away quietly.

Shang Xiaojun approached Du Juan and asked, "What are you talking about?"

I told her to stay away from this young lady, but she not only didn't listen, she also started whispering like a good sister.

Du Juan: "Nothing, just chatting casually."

Shang Xiaojun frowned.

At another table, Fu Bo rubbed his hot face and saw that except for Hu Dong and two half-grown children who were eating and drinking, everyone else at the table was in a daze. He shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Eating, drinking, why are you all like wooden sticks?"

When he said this, everyone turned their attention.

The guy sitting next to Fu Bo said, "I was wondering why Jun didn't toast and just left."

"Did we do something bad to piss off Brother Jun?"

Fu Bo: "That's for sure. Everyone is staring at my sister-in-law, it would be strange if Jun Ge wasn't angry."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and their faces turned red again.

"I haven't seen this before, so I took a closer look."

"Who said you haven't seen it? Didn't you also go to the hotel that day?"

"Ah? That's different."

"Yes, yes, my sister-in-law used to have thick hair and wore modest clothes. I never noticed her. Who would have thought she was such a beauty."

No wonder Jun couldn’t wait to drag people to get the marriage certificate, it turns out he really fell in love with her.

To be honest, they were all a little stunned when my sister-in-law smiled just now.

Before, a few people thought that Jun Ge was unlucky to have encountered these things, but after seeing this today, they began to envy him.

Fu Bo glared and said, "What's the point of talking about beauty? She's my sister-in-law, show some respect to her."

Several people nodded.

They were just, for a moment, so surprised.

The merchant's banquet lasted until about three in the afternoon before it gradually dispersed.

There wasn't much left from the banquet, just a little chicken soup and some stir-fried dishes.

Shang Rong divided these things into several portions and gave them to the neighbors who came to congratulate her.

Soon, the originally bustling courtyard became quiet, with only Shang Xiaojun and Hu Dong carrying the tables and chairs to return them door to door.

Shang Rong poured a cup of tea, sat under the eaves and waved to Du Juan.

"Xiaojuan, come and talk to me."

Du Juan brought a small stool and sat over.

Shang Rong stretched out her hand to her, and after Du Juan took it, she patted it gently and asked, "Were you scared at noon?"

Du Juan knew that she would talk to her about this, so she shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm fine, but Wei Ling was scared."

Shang Rong sighed, "Yes, that child suffered today. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, if... "

Shang Rong paused, "Fortunately, there was no danger. She is fine, and so are you. Xiaojuan, let me tell you about our family and Xiaojun's uncle's family. I wonder if you have heard of it before..."

Although her daughter-in-law has already been married, Shang Rong is still worried that things happening outside will affect the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law.

Du Juan listened carefully.

Du Juan knew something about Shang Xiaojun and his great-uncle's family. She knew it in her previous life.

After all, that family suffered terrible revenge from Shang Xiaojun.

Shang Xiaojun's notoriety came about because he cut off two fingers of his great-uncle.

As for those murderers and bastards that Qiu Yuanfeng mentioned, they were really deliberately trying to ruin people's reputations.

Shang Rong happened to mention this, she said: "At that time, my father emptied the family savings to exchange for a sum of money, and wanted to take me to the provincial capital to treat my eyes, but they tricked the old lady into stealing the money to marry his eldest son. The money was spent, and my father didn't get it back. He got sick with anger when he got home.

Xiaojun was so angry that something like that happened.

He was only nine years old at the time. He stood on the table holding a bloody kitchen knife and said he would kill anyone who dared to come over. I was scared to death.

Although Xiaojun was not held legally responsible due to his young age, the money was given to him as medical expenses.”

Shang Rong laughed and started talking about Qiu Yuanfeng again.

"Don't be fooled by her clear-headed appearance, her ability to curse and hit people, and her lack of breath when she speaks. In fact, she has been traumatized and there are some problems with her brain.

She was in good health. When she was in her forties, she gave birth to a son who was one year younger than Xiaojun. However, the child died young. He drowned in the river while taking a bath at the age of nine.

Because of this, Qiu Yuanfeng didn't know what was wrong with her. She insisted that Xiaojun was behind it and even reported it to the security team."

“Of course, in the end, it had nothing to do with Xiaojun. Seven or eight children were watching him at the time. He was swept away by the rapids. It had nothing to do with anyone.

It was because of these things that Xiaojun's reputation became bad even though he was still so young."

Shang Rong is still angry when talking about this incident.

"Speaking of Shang Zhenchuan, he is a scoundrel. He was imprisoned for having affairs with women in the village. I heard that he was released not long ago. He probably heard about your marriage to Xiaojun, so he brought Qiu Yuanfeng here to cause trouble today.

That guy is also sick. He was fooling around outside, his family broke up, and he was arrested, but he insisted that it was Xiaojun who reported him.

When he was imprisoned, Xiaojun was only fourteen years old and was studying in town. He was usually not in the village, so he had no time to care about these things.

So both the mother and the son have problems in their brains. They probably think we are an orphan and a widow and easy to bully, so they blame everything on us.

They don’t even think about the fact that Xiaojun is already 22 years old, a tall and strong man. How can he allow himself to be bullied like he was back then? It’s simply a dream.”

At the end of the speech, Shang Rong's expression was fierce and she looked quite imposing.

But soon she sighed and said, "It is also because of this and that that Xiaojun's reputation is ridiculously bad. He looks like he doesn't care, but sometimes I still feel bad for him.

Actually, if you think about it, I, as a mother, am most responsible for letting him go through so much, and I failed to protect him."

Failed to protect him.

Shang Xiaojun also said this when he was dying.

Du Juan seemed to have returned to that time and felt sad.

"Mom, you just said that Qiu Yuanfeng's youngest son was drowned. Do you know where he is?"

Shang Rong was a little surprised that Du Juan would ask this, but she still told her, "It's in the pool above the river at the entrance of our village. There is a ferry there, and there are passenger boats. Usually there are boatmen to help people cross the river, but the village arranged a big harvest that day, so no one saw it."

Pond, ferry!
Du Juan knew that place, and her heart was shocked. She felt that she remembered something about Shang Rong's death in the previous life.
