Su Yu's eyes revealed a hint of inquiry, and he continued, "I wonder if there is any misunderstanding here?"
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, making Miao Qiaohua feel a chill on her back.
I have heard that the daughter-in-law from Ziling is smart and capable. After meeting her today, I find that her reputation is well-deserved.
Although he seemed to be smiling on the surface, there was a chilling power in his words.
She forced a smile and explained, "Oh, so that's what happened. Yesterday when we were chatting together, your mother-in-law passed by holding Da Zhuang. She might have mentioned it casually, and the children overheard it. I will remind them later not to talk nonsense."
"I see."
Su Yu nodded in sudden realization: "So, those comments about me behaving frivolously when I go out and seducing other people's husbands, did they also come from her?"
Miao Qiaohua was shocked when she heard this and asked, "How do you know?"
This question undoubtedly confirmed Su Yu's previous guess.
Realizing that she had overreacted, Miao Qiaohua pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
The talk behind Zhao's back was much more sarcastic: saying that every time she went out she would bring back a lot of stuff, and that she must have been involved in some shady business; they also spread rumors that she was someone else's mistress and had been humiliated in public by the original wife...all kinds of rumors were heard endlessly.
These words were like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making her dare not reveal even a little bit to Su Yu.
After all, every family has its own problems, and she knows very well that getting involved in other people's family disputes will only get herself into trouble.
A cold smile appeared on Su Yu's lips, like a gust of cold wind in winter, penetrating people's hearts.
"That old woman, seeing that she has no connection with my family anymore and has no other way to deal with me, must have felt very upset, so she had to resort to those shady means to hurt me."
His words expressed both disdain for the Zhou family's behavior and a warning to Miao Qiaohua, both of which were implied.
"But I act honestly and never do anything that would offend my conscience. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have pursued it. But if anyone spread rumors and made up stories in front of me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will definitely teach them a lesson."
These words were powerful and powerful. They were not only a warning to the Zhou family, but also a clear signal to Miao Qiaohua who was present.
Miao Qiaohua heard it clearly, and although she was extremely frightened, she didn't even dare to breathe.
Normally, she was considered a figure in the village, but every time she faced Su Yu, her toughness inexplicably disappeared.
Whenever Su Yu's face darkened, he naturally exuded an aura of majesty that made people feel awe involuntarily.
Seeing the fear on Miao Qiaohua's face, Su Yu was secretly proud of himself, knowing that his invisible deterrence had taken effect.
Excessive intimidation would only backfire. She quickly adjusted her mood, put on a warm smile, and said to Miao Qiaohua in a gentle tone: "Third sister-in-law, you may not know that Daya was indeed sold by the cruel Zhao before, and she almost fell into the unbearable place of love. But Daya has a pride in her bones that refuses to admit defeat, and she bravely resisted at that time."
When Su Yu said this, he deliberately made a grimace, as if he was reliving that heartbreaking past.
"Thinking about how deep the wounds were and how many there were, my heart still trembles."
After she finished speaking, Xie Xinghua's eyes were already filled with tears, and her heartache was beyond words.
This topic inadvertently triggered Miao Qiaohua's nosy instinct.
She took a sharp breath and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "Oh, is this true?"
Xie Xinghua wiped her tears and nodded gently in agreement: "Fortunately, there is the special ointment prepared by my second brother and sister-in-law. Now Daya's injury has healed a lot. If she continues to use it, there will be no scars in the future. Otherwise, how can a girl talk about marriage in the future!"
"Yes, this child has a really unfortunate fate, alas!"
Although Miao Qiaohua is not easy to get along with, she is kind-hearted. After hearing about Daya's experience, she couldn't help but sigh at the child's misfortune.
Su Yu continued, "Later, the human traffickers in Mucheng saw that Daya was so strong-willed, so they wanted to keep her to help with the work and gave her some money every month to supplement the family expenses. That's why she didn't return to the village. It wasn't that she went to some improper place."
After learning the whole story, Miao Qiaohua became furious.
"I see. That old witch, Mrs. Zhao, is so vicious that she framed your two families in this way. It's really despicable."
When Su Yu saw Miao Qiaohua's indignation, he knew that he had made the right move.
Then he took the opportunity to say, "Yes, not everyone in the village can distinguish right from wrong like you, sister-in-law. If someone spreads these rumors again in the future, I would like to ask you to speak a fair word for us."
Giving a compliment first will put Miao Qiaohua in a good mood and also lay a good foundation for possible requests for help in the future.
Sure enough, no matter how tough a person is, he cannot resist a few nice words. Miao Qiaohua was already surrounded by clouds of praise and felt elated.
Although she had agreed with many of Zhao's remarks before, it did not prevent her from being intoxicated by Su Yu's praise at this moment.
Inspired by these words, the sense of justice in my heart expanded several times in an instant, like a flood of spring water.
She patted her chest and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, now that I know the whole story, I will never allow the villagers to misunderstand you again."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
The three of them walked side by side for a short distance, then went their separate ways at a fork in the road.
Not long after they parted, Xie Xinghua praised Su Yu highly: "Second brother's wife, you are really capable. With just a few words, you made Miao Qiaohua completely obedient, and you also crushed the rumors of the Zhao family in one fell swoop."
"Miao Qiaohua is a well-known mouthpiece in our village. If this happens, the news will spread throughout the village in less than half a day. If Zhao wants to throw dirty water on us again, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and her true face can be exposed."
Su Yu suddenly realized that Miao Qiaohua was the news disseminator in the village. This unexpected gain made the effect even better.
As a mouthpiece, Miao Qiaohua would naturally add some exaggeration to make the story more vivid and lively.
I'm afraid the Zhou family's plan will fail again.
He was full of confidence before, claiming that he had something on her and trying to ruin her reputation. His smug look was as ridiculous as a clown.
The little troubles along the way helped Xie Xinghua relieve herself of her worries.
In any case, San Ya did hit someone else's child. If this matter is exaggerated, it will undoubtedly become a troublesome dispute.
The road to the mountain is long and winding, passing by a green vegetable field, which is the result of Su Yu and her husband Ziling's hard work.
The leaves of the vegetables are lush and full of vitality, and there are almost no weeds in the fields. It is obvious that someone is taking good care of them.
