The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

When Qiao Xi heard that they were coming towards her, she was afraid that the shouting outside would startle her brother-in-law who was resting, so she quickly got up to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he felt severe pain in his knees and his body fell back to his knees uncontrollably.

When she got up again, it was too late.

Xu Yi opened the door before her.

Qiao Xi stood behind Xu Yi and looked over. She saw a group of people gathered in front of her house, with an old woman at the front.

Although her face was wrinkled and her expression was fierce, Qiao Xi knew who she was at a glance.

The old woman first glanced at Xu Yi, then her eyes passed over him and fell on Qiao Qian.

Xu Yi saw it and turned to look behind him following her gaze.

Qiao Xi noticed that everyone was looking at her. She ignored the discomfort in her knees and walked gracefully to Xu Yi, smiling faintly, "Hey, Aunt Zhang, I just vomited and you can smell it?"

She raised her eyebrows and met the old woman's angry gaze without fear, then glanced casually behind her and saw Zhang Quan, who was beaten black and blue by her and Xu Chong.

Qiao Xi pretended to be scared and patted her chest, "Aunt Zhang, your son is injured like this, why are you still letting him out?"

Wasn’t my brother-in-law resting? How come he came faster than her?

What she didn't know was that Xu Yi didn't actually rest when he said he would. Instead, he chose a position where he could see her to see if she was slacking off, after all, he had learned from the previous experience.

Li Jianghua, having come to her senses, glared at Qiao Xi with a venomous look in her eyes. "You little bitch, who are you calling a dog? And you beat my son like this, you have to give me an explanation today, or I won't leave."

Qiao Xi pouted, looking aggrieved. "When did I ever curse? You can only think about it yourself. I can't do anything about it. Besides, didn't you ask your son why I hit him? I had no choice but to hit him! Sigh!"

After she finished speaking, she sighed, as if telling everyone that she really didn't want to hit anyone.

"Ugh!" Li Jianghua pointed at Qiao Xi's nose. "You're right to hit someone! I want to hear why you hit my son."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi cursed inwardly: This old woman is asking questions even though she already knows the answer. Is she relying on her reputation to suffer this loss?

That's just not what she wants.

At this, Qiao Xi pretended to be sad.

In just a moment, her eyes turned red and her eyes were filled with tears.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief and complained in a low voice, "My fate is so miserable. My husband passed away so early. He treated me so well when he was alive. I wanted to be filial to him, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law... I'm just a weak woman, going to burn paper for my mother-in-law, and I didn't expect to run into your son."

Qiao Xi paused, seeing she had caught everyone's attention, and continued, "I have no grudge against your son, and I don't even know him. He came up and threatened me, demanding I give him the money my husband gave me to buy his life, otherwise he'd beat me."

"That's the money my husband paid for his life. How could I possibly give it to someone I don't know? Everyone, please judge for yourself. Should I, Xu Qiao, give it to him?"

After she finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and then people gradually began to talk in low voices.

These people all followed Li Jianghua here. They probably heard her one-sided story, so they looked at her strangely just now.

Now, after hearing her rebuttal, they all looked at Li Jianghua with strange eyes.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these are all helping people who have no opinions of their own.

Xu Yi took in everything in front of him, took a step back silently, staring at her back with his dark eyes, with a secretive emotion hidden in his eyes.

Li Jianghua pursed her lips and thought to herself: My son is right. This little bitch seems to be different after she died once.

No, she had to turn the situation around.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jianghua let out a roar.

"You're talking nonsense! It's obvious that you couldn't stand the loneliness after your husband died, so you seduced my Quanzi and promised to give him the money. Not only did you refuse to pay, you even turned the tables on me. A woman as unfaithful as you deserves to be a widow."

"Please be careful with your words!"

Xu Yi, who was standing behind Qiao Xi, suddenly stepped forward and looked at Li Jianghua with a serious expression.

"Auntie, just speak your mind. Don't involve innocent people."

Qiao Xi looked up at the sky and rolled her eyes.

The old woman is as stupid as her son.

Saying in front of Xu Yi that she deserved to be a widow is just saying that Xu Tai was right to die.

Li Jianghua doesn't think so.

Seeing Xu Yi stand up and speak for Qiao Xi, Li Jianghua glanced at the two of them like a rat, then curled her lips into a wicked smile, "I was wondering why you suddenly changed your mind, woman? It turns out you've hooked up with your brother-in-law. Although widows can remarry, you're acting too quickly."

"What are you talking about?"

Qiao Xi couldn't stand it anymore when she heard her throwing dirty water on Xu Yi.

Xu Yi already disliked her, and if his reputation was ruined because of her, wouldn't he dislike her even more?

Qiao Xi wanted to argue, but when she looked up, she met Xu Yi's eyes.

His eyes darkened slightly, and a cold gloom was reflected in them.

Qiao Xi was so scared that she shut up immediately.

Well, Li Jianghua is asking for trouble, so it’s not her fault.

Xu Yi looked at Li Jianghua, lowering his eyes slightly to hide the fierceness in his eyes. "I respect you as my elder, so I just reminded you to be careful with your words. Aunt, if you continue to say nonsense to destroy my reputation, don't blame me for reporting you to the government office."

He paused, seeing that everyone was listening, then raised his voice before continuing, "According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who casually defames another's reputation will be publicly beaten with twenty sticks. I'm afraid your body can't bear it, right?"

The entire Xuliu Village knew that Xu Yi was a scholar, and what scholars said still had some deterrent effect on farmers.

Shijing Village is right next to Xuliu Village. People from the two villages often come and go, so Li Jianghua and Zhang Quan naturally know about it.

Li Jianghua frowned after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, then changed her words and trailed off. "When did I ever ruin your reputation? I was talking about the bitch next to you."

After that, she pointed the gun at Qiao Xi again, "Little bitch, I just said that you seduced my son Quanzi, and that's the truth. Don't even think about denying it."

This is a matter of reputation and honor.

Qiao Xi put aside her previous grievance and said loudly, "Auntie said that I seduced your Quanzi. Do you have any evidence? If not, I will also sue you for defamation of her reputation."

She thought that her brother-in-law had shown her a way, so why not use it?

Unexpectedly, this remark played into Li Jianghua's heart. She smiled triumphantly, "Evidence, right? My Quanzi really has it. Quanzi, take it out."

As he said this, he reached out and asked his son behind him for it.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Li Jianghua turned around and glared at her son fiercely. Zhang Quancai reluctantly took out the thing hidden in his arms.

Qiao Xi looked at the object in her hand and suddenly felt familiar, but she didn't remember giving the thing to Zhang Quan. Where did he get it?

Before Qiao Xi could speak, someone in the crowd stood up and spoke.

The man looked puzzled and said, "Quanzi's mother, you only have a piece of red silk cloth in your hand. What does that prove?"

Li Jianghua glanced at the man with a meaningful look on her face, "Look carefully, this is not just a simple piece of red silk."

As she spoke, she shook out the cloth in her hand.

When the crowd saw the full picture of the cloth, they went wild.

When Xu Yi saw what it was, he frowned and regretted not strangling her to death that night.

"Oh my god, I'm going to die. They gave away such intimate clothing. It seems that Xu Qiao and Zhang Quan are really not innocent."

"That's right. Seeing how aggrieved she was just now, and how convincing she was in her pretense, I almost believed it."

"Yes, I also thought she was wronged."

Everyone started talking one after another.

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes, but she didn't look nervous. Instead, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Yi had been keeping an eye on her. Seeing this, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

Qiao Xi said in a resounding voice, "It's just an ordinary bellyband, who knows where your son got it from.

Besides, everyone knows that your son often goes to the brothel.

If he took the underwear of a girl in the building and said today that it was mine, you would believe him and let him destroy my reputation.

If he falls in love with another girl from our village tomorrow, he can also say that it belongs to someone else. Who owns this thing depends entirely on his mouth, and how many people's reputations will be ruined.

Are you treating us like fools?"

The crowd who were just gossiping, "..."

Some villagers with daughters realized what was going on later and looked at Zhang Quan with caution.

Some people also thought that what Qiao Xi said made sense and asked Li Jianghua to produce solid evidence.

Li Jianghua snorted coldly, "Who says this isn't conclusive evidence? When Xu Qiao gave the item to my son, she told me that all her underwear was embroidered in the same pattern."

There was a smug glint in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up, with a victorious attitude. "Xu Qiao, do you dare to take out your other clothes for comparison?"
