Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1651: Chapter 1653: Let Her Die

This kind of talk indeed left Aunt Lan Hua a bit bewildered.

Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Lan Hua looking puzzled and continued, "Aunt Lan Hua, no need to worry. When we came out from the bottom of the cliff, we already sent someone to find Yang Daniu. He might be back soon. Since Yang Dong and Li Chuntao fell off the cliff and survived, I’m guessing Yang Daniu won’t be dead either. Let’s just wait."

"As for your Yang Xiaocui, didn’t you say she was innocent? You claim Yang Dong framed her, so why not find an older woman to verify it? Once verified, everything will be clear. You can’t say it can’t be verified, because once we reach the government office, verification will be mandatory."

"And about the knife, it’s a knife your family uses often, surely someone in your family recognizes it. Those who have been to your house might recognize it too, you can’t deny it."

Xiaoxiao stood there, not shouting or making a fuss, yet her words gave off an overwhelming aura.

Everyone felt her arguments made a lot of sense. Some, who were just in it for the spectacle, started speaking up.

"Yang Ming’s wife is right. Once we find Yang Daniu, everything will be clear!"

"Yes, yes, Yang Ming’s wife, where’s that knife you mentioned? I’ve been to Aunt Lan Hua’s house and know what her knives look like."

"Aunt Lan Hua, you say Yang Dong and that Miss Li are involved, claiming Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu aren’t. Why not have an older woman verify it?"

"..."

"..."

Aunt Lan Hua didn’t expect Yang Ming’s wife’s words would turn the villagers against her.

She already knew Yang Ming’s wife was hard to deal with, but didn’t anticipate her being this difficult.

She could only stick to her claim, vehemently refusing to admit anything, and shouted, "You can’t be fooled by their few words; our Xiaocui is the real victim. Don’t let their wealth sway your opinion."

This statement incited the villagers.

"Aunt Lan Hua, what are you talking about? How are we siding with them?"

"Exactly! If you claim Xiaocui is innocent, then prove it! Why is she hiding at home and not coming out?"

"Yes, let Xiaocui come out and confront them."

"..."

"..."

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Aunt Lan Hua initially hoped to sway the villagers but ended up being asked to let Xiaocui confront them, which was not the plan. She hurriedly feigned crying, "Oh heavens, we’re being bullied here! Our Xiaocui is near death, lying in bed! Have pity for my daughter!"

As she was wailing, she heard a loud crash and quickly dodged.

This time the bucket really aimed at her, showing Yang Dong’s anger. She was just about to continue lamenting that Yang Dong was committing murder, but upon seeing Yang Dong’s murderous eyes, she swallowed her words.

If she continued wailing, who knows what this stubborn mule might do.

Immediately following she heard Yang Dong speak, "Let her die. Isn’t she the one best at feigning death? Last time she pretended to faint to deceive me, faking a hit on a tree, forcing me to marry her in front of the villagers, using the same trick twice. Do you really think I’m that easily fooled?"

These words left Aunt Lan Hua sitting there paralyzed. She already knew that since Yang Dong came back alive, the marriage was off. She didn’t aim to keep the engagement, just to preserve their family’s reputation.
