Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Meanwhile, at an inn dozens of miles from the capital, Su Yinyin dressed in black and put on a mask, instructing Bixia and Biyu to take good care of Su Yue and Xiaoxiao.

The fifth brother used his lightness skill to take Su Yinyin to Chenjia Village to see that scumbag and despicable man and woman.

When the two arrived at Chenjia Village, outside the door of Lan'er's (now renamed Xiaoxiao) father and grandmother's house, they heard the sounds of crying and cursing at each other.

"You shameless woman, how dare you ask my son to wash your feet? A widow, how dare you be so brazen? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Widow Chen cursed.

"Hahaha, what am I afraid of? If I'm going to be struck by lightning, I'll make sure to kill you, you old widow, and your worthless son first."

"Go and ask around, ask around, within a ten-mile radius, which family has a husband and mother-in-law who are lazy and good-for-nothing, and who even sells their daughter-in-law and granddaughter?" she retorted defiantly.

"Fine, you! I'll tear your mouth apart today!" Widow Chen said as she lunged at Lin.

Not to be outdone, Lin grabbed Widow Chen's hair and slapped her face repeatedly.

The widow screamed in pain.

"Son, what are you standing there for? Come and save your mother!" Widow Chen called out to her son repeatedly.

A man stood timidly to the side, showing no intention of helping.

Because he was very afraid of Lin, the woman in front of him was someone he had provoked.

After Ritian sold the mother and daughter, he got the money and went to town for a few drinks. On his way back, he somehow ended up at Widow Lin's house in the next village.

Then, how did he end up in Widow Lin's bed? And the next morning, he was caught in bed by Widow Lin's mother-in-law.

Even now, Chen Qiang is still confused about all of this.

Widow Lin and her mother-in-law shouted that they would report it to the authorities, saying that Chen Qiang had raped them.

When the villagers and the village chief of Widow Lin's village heard the commotion of a woman being raped, they came running. After learning what had happened, they ordered the villagers to keep an eye on Chen Qiang. They also sent someone to Chenjia Village to summon the village chief to discuss the matter.

The village chief of Chenjia Village and some villagers came to Widow Lin's house and heard Widow Lin recount how Chen Qiang broke into her house, raped her, and injured her and her mother-in-law.

No matter how Chen Qiang tries to explain, all his explanations are futile in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Ultimately, the two village chiefs decided to send Chen Qiang to the authorities. Chen Qiang cried his heart out and refused to go no matter what.

Chen Qiang ran over, knelt before Widow Lin, and begged her to spare him. But Widow Lin didn't even glance at him.

Chen Qiang made up his mind that he had no choice but to marry Widow Lin. Although Widow Lin was over thirty, fortunately she had no children.

Although she's big and burly, she looks the same with the lights off. If we marry Widow Lin, and then sell her after a while, we can make a profit.

Moreover, the land at home needs to be cultivated, and the chores at home need to be done.

This is truly a win-win solution. Having figured out these issues, Chen Qiang immediately declared, "Village Chief, I am willing to marry Lin Niangzi."

Chen Qiang's words were like a bomb, stunning everyone who thought they had misheard.

After all, Widow Lin was ten years older than Chen Qiang. Ten years—what does that mean? If the man were older than the woman, it would be understandable. But for the woman to be so much older than the man was incomprehensible, and everyone looked at Chen Qiang with disdain and contempt.

But Chen Qiang had no time to care about what others thought. Didn't he know how humiliating this was? He knew, but he couldn't think of any better solutions. His priority was saving his life.

"Chen Qiang, you raped me and then insulted me with these words. Do you think I believe you?" Meanwhile, Widow Lin on the other side revealed a barely perceptible smile...

"Lady Lin, I truly want to marry you...!" Chen Qiang knelt before Widow Lin, tugging at her skirt and pleading.

Seeing that Widow Lin remained unmoved, Chen Qiang turned to the two village chiefs for help.

The village chief of Chenjia Village hated Chen Qiang to the core when he saw him like this. Their village had truly lost face; just yesterday they had sold their own wife and daughter, and today they had raped a widow from the neighboring village.

And it's all the same person. When will the people from their village be able to stand up straight when they leave?

Hate is understandable, but no matter how big the matter, we should go back to the village, close the door, and resolve it there.

"Village Chief Lin, you should have a good talk with Widow Lin. Since Chen Qiang wants to marry Widow Lin, why bother...!" The village chief of Chenjia Village said in a submissive tone.

Village Chief Lin understood that arranging for Chen Qiang to marry Widow Lin was the best solution. Widow Lin had already suffered enough; this incident would only make her life more difficult. She might even be driven away by the villagers, and she was innocent in the situation.

So Village Chief Lin gestured for Widow Lin to go outside to discuss the matter. The two went outside.

Village Chief Lin comforted Widow Lin and told her that marrying Chen Qiang was the best way out.

After hesitating for a moment, Widow Lin shared her idea with Village Chief Lin, who agreed. Better safe than sorry. They decided to block the road anyway.

Village Chief Chen couldn't stand the way the villagers of Linjia Village were looking at them.

So the village chief of Chenjia Village didn't hold back in scolding Chen Qiang. "Chen Qiang, look at what kind of people you've been doing! I haven't even come to you about selling your wife and daughter. And you've gone to the next village to do such despicable things..."

Chen Qiang squatted there, crying, and said, "Village chief, I didn't mean to. My mother said she couldn't have a son, so there was no use in keeping her. My daughter will belong to someone else after she grows up. The money from selling her will be enough for me to get married."

The village chief of Chenjia Village couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Chen Qiang, saying, "You believe whatever your mother says? Are you even a man?"

Are we all blind? Lan'er's mother is such a good woman! She does all the housework, inside and outside the house.

They beat and scolded us constantly, never feeding or clothing us properly. Now they blame others for not being able to have sons; if anyone's to blame, it's your family for the terrible things you've done.

Yes, you shameful person, you don't deserve to stay in our Chenjia Village.

Yes, who would dare to marry their daughter into our village in the future?

Yes, village chief, kick that mother and child out.

The people who were cursing Chen Qiang were villagers from the Chen family. The village chief and his entourage came together.

Initially, upon hearing that Chen Qiang had raped Widow Lin in Linjia Village, no one wanted to come. However, the village chief ordered them to come.

"Alright, all of you shut up. When you get back, call everyone in the clan and we'll discuss how to deal with the mother and child," the village chief of Chenjia Village said, telling them to keep quiet.
