Chapter 208: Being the leader of a village, isn't it nice?
Just when the original owner thought she was going to die, Shui Fu, who had been looking for her for several days, stumbled over, took off his clothes, wrapped her up, and took her home.
Ever since his daughter disappeared, Shui's father has been clamoring to ask Mr. Zhu for her. Not only did Mr. Zhu deny his daughter, he also had Shui's father beaten and driven out. Shui's father went to report to the police, but they ignored him.
Seeing his beautiful daughter being tortured like this, Shui's father was extremely sad. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhu, who had helped him out of kindness, was as vicious as Mr. Jia. He took his daughter home, but the news of what happened to the original owner somehow reached the ears of the neighbors and became known to the whole village.
Many families around who have sons originally liked the original owner as their daughter-in-law, but now they are insulting and humiliating her in all kinds of ways.
The original owner's father was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he sold the house and took her away from Qinghe Town to live in another town.
The original owner had finally recovered and lived a peaceful life here, but she didn't know that the famous big-mouthed widow Wei in Qinghe Town also happened to marry here, and she met the original owner again. Soon the story of the original owner spread here again. Shui's father's old injuries from being beaten by Master Zhu had not healed yet, and now he was so angry about the rumors that he fell ill.
Those who came to the original owner's house to propose marriage suddenly disappeared, and those who came later were those who wanted to make the original owner a concubine or mistress.
The original owner was no longer a virgin, so who would be willing to marry her as his principal wife? Just then, matchmaker Wang came to the door and said that only one person was willing to marry the original owner, and that was Xue Da, who sold groceries in the town.
But Xue Da was no taller than a ten-year-old boy, and he was dark and ugly. His family was also very poor, and they only had a two-story building along the street left by their ancestors, which he kept because he refused to sell it.
Wang, the matchmaker, was originally using the original owner as a joke to tease Xue Da, saying that the beautiful original owner was already a slut, and it would be better for Xue Da to marry her as his wife. After saying that, she and the people around her laughed. As a result, Xue Da actually took out money to ask her to help him propose marriage.
When matchmaker Wang came to the door, Shui's father was already terminally ill. He saw that only Xue was willing to marry his daughter. Although Xue was short and ugly, he was not a bad person. So Shui's father agreed to the marriage before he died, so that the original owner would have someone to rely on after his death.
After the original owner's father passed away, the original owner put on new clothes, tied a red cloth flower she sewed herself on her head, and went back to the Xue family's shabby store with Xue Da.
The original owner had accepted her fate and planned to live a good life with Xue Da. In addition, Xue Da was also very good to her, and the two of them respected each other.
But the good times did not last long. A few months later, Xue Da went out to sell goods and was late in returning. The original owner was worried and went to the street to look for him. As a result, he saw Xue Da being stopped by several young masters not far away.
The leader was none other than Master Shi, the richest businessman in town. Master Shi had just returned and heard that Xue Da had married a woman as beautiful as a fairy. Although the woman had lost her virginity before getting married, if she was really as beautiful as the rumors said, she could be his concubine. The thought of that beauty being defiled by Xue Da was like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung, which made him feel sick and he couldn't help but find trouble with Xue Da.
Xue Da was beaten up by Master Shi and his men. The original owner hurried over and begged Master Shi to let her husband go.
Mr. Shi looked at the woman in front of him who was begging with red eyes, and immediately asked his servants to stop. He became polite and said that they had misunderstood that Xue Da sold fake goods to them. He also compensated Xue Da for medical expenses and personally sent the couple home.
The original owner thought it was a misunderstanding at the time. Later, when she went out to sell embroidery, she happened to meet Mr. Shi. He was very polite every time and helped her many times. Seeing that Mr. Shi was handsome and well-mannered, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. The first time the original owner saw such a suave young man, he was just like the person she had fantasized about marrying before those things happened.
But the original owner also knew that the fantasy would eventually be shattered. Now that she was married to Xue Da, she had to be faithful to her husband. Moreover, Mr. Shi was very wealthy, but she was not worthy of him.
So the original owner gradually tried to avoid Mr. Shi, but the other party seemed puzzled and dragged Matchmaker Wang to find the original owner. The original owner naturally avoided him at first, but later Matchmaker Wang kept coming, and the original owner wanted to talk to him clearly, so she agreed to go to Matchmaker Wang's house.
Who knew that matchmaker Wang put medicine in the tea? The original owner felt dizzy and fainted after just saying a few words.
When she woke up, she found herself sleeping with Mr. Shi. The strange feeling in her body told her that the thing she feared most had happened. This time she really became an unfaithful woman.
The original owner broke down and cried, punching and kicking Mr. Shi, but the usually gentle Mr. Shi slapped her hard and told her to be obedient, otherwise he would tell everyone about it.
The original owner was so scared that she returned home in a daze. She took a bath over and over again, fearing that she would be discovered by Xue Da, but she didn't find him. A few days later, Wang the matchmaker came to find her again and threatened that if she dared not go, she would hang the bellyband she dropped that day at the door of the teahouse, making her a complete joke.
The original owner was forced to go, and then was captured by Mr. Shi. The other party knew some martial arts, and she could not resist, so she let him succeed again.
The original owner collapsed and wanted to die, but the other party threatened her that if she dared to die, he would find someone to kill Xue Da. Mr. Shi's family was wealthy and powerful, and he was also related to the officials in the town. If he really killed Xue Da, he would not have to go to jail. At most, he would have to stay out for a few years. He had just returned after being out for several years because he killed someone.
After his threats, the original owner did not dare to die, nor did she dare to resist. This continued until one day, when Master Shi said he was fed up with this kind of sneaky life and he wanted to take the original owner as his concubine, so he instigated the original owner to kill Xue Da.
The original owner already felt that she had let Xue Da down enough, so how could she dare to kill him? Mr. Shi gave the original owner a packet of poison, and used threats and inducements to force her to kill Xue Da, and then he would take her away to live a life of wealth and glory.
On the one hand, the original owner was afraid of the threat from Mr. Shi, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to harm Xue Da. Just when she didn't know what to do, Xue Da's younger brother Xue Er came back.
Xue Er was doing very well. He was forced to flee because he was falsely accused of assaulting someone. As a result, he accidentally became sworn brothers with a big brother in the officialdom. With the help of that big brother, he became a constable and changed his name to Xue Ren.
Because of his return, Master Shi no longer dared to ask the original owner to kill her husband openly.
The original owner finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally live a peaceful life again. However, he did not expect that Xue Ren left home because Master Shi hurt someone and framed the crime on him who happened to pass by. So this time Xue Ren came back to find out what happened that year.
