The Female Supporting Character in Quick Transmigration is Making a Comeback

Chapter 56 The Female Supporting Character in the Era (6)

“But my mother only gave birth to one daughter, me. What kind of sisters are Xun Pei and me?”

He Xian'er's words immediately displeased He Bufan. "Look at yourself now, you look neither human nor ghost. Do you think any man would be interested in you?"

"The engagement will be given to your sister. As long as you stay in the He family, you'll still have food to eat. That's the decision!"

Xun Pei stood aside, scrutinizing He Xian'er with a smug look, as if to say: See, even your own father won't help you.

He Xian'er did not respond directly, but sat silently on the bed with her head down, giving the impression that she had given in to reality.

In their view, her expression indicated that she had accepted the situation, and seeing that their goal had been achieved, they left the room.

These days, He Xian'er is still doing laundry and cooking at home, just like the original owner.

As for cooking skills, I can't guarantee them; either too much salt or too little water.

When I do laundry, the clothes are always torn or ripped...

Asking her to wash the dishes always resulted in either a broken cup or a chipped bowl; in short, it added a lot of "fun" to the He family's life.

Under He Xian'er's influence, Liu Xiuhua was heartbroken over the loss of those things and dared not let her do housework anymore.

The He family thought she was being pressured to give up her engagement to Xun Pei, and that she was doing this on purpose because she was upset about it.

They didn't dare to scold her to her face, fearing she would reveal the "marriage swap" affair, so they could only curse her behind her back.

He Xian'er doesn't have to do housework right now, and the He family only makes sure she doesn't starve.

Fortunately, there were still those steamed buns left in the space, as well as food "borrowed" from Xiao Ba, so life was still manageable.

There's still no news of catching Li Guihua cheating, but judging by the timeline, it should be close to happening.

A gentle breeze blew, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns. He Xian'er squatted on the ground, bored, watching the ants crawl around.

A commotion arose in the distance, accompanied by footsteps; the sound grew closer.

Judging from the sound, it seemed to be coming from the He family's house. He Xian'er immediately stood up from the ground, wanting to open the door to see what was going on.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," the door was kicked open.

Three menacing middle-aged women pushed a man and a woman in. Both of them had their hands tied and their mouths stuffed with something, clearly indicating that they had been forcibly brought in.

The woman's hair was disheveled, and she had red marks on her face, but her clothes were still relatively neat.

The man was in an even worse state, with torn sleeves and his face covered in handprints and mud.

Who else could it be but Li Guihua, the one in the lead? She secretly gave He Xian'er a wink the moment she entered.

He Xian'er realized that the time had come to openly and legitimately annul the engagement, and the show was about to begin.

They all came in, followed by a group of onlookers.

She quickly composed herself and put on a surprised expression.

He Xian'er feigned shock and asked, "Aunt Li, what exactly is going on? And who are these two people?"

Li Guihua released the person she was shoving, then tightly grasped He Xian'er's hand, her voice trembling with emotion: "Poor Xian'er, your mother entrusted me to take care of you before she passed away, but I never expected the He family to treat you like this!"

She turned to the gathered crowd, her voice filled with accusation:

"Look everyone, this lady is Xian'er's stepsister, Xun Pei, and this gentleman is Xian'er's original fiancé, Chen Tongsheng. They were having an affair behind all our backs, but luckily we caught them red-handed!"

"Chen Tongsheng, Mingzhu treated your Chen family very well when she was alive, and even saved your father's life. Is this how you treat her daughter?"

"As for you, Xun Pei, although you came to this family with Liu Xiuhua, you live in the house left by Xian'er's mother and grew up on Xian'er's father's money. You actually have an ambiguous relationship with your brother-in-law, which is utterly disappointing!"

Li Guihua's words came out like a barrage of bullets, not only pointing out the source of the property but also revealing the improper relationship between the two.

Faced with Li Guihua's accusations, a flash of anger crossed Chen Tongsheng and Xun Pei's eyes.

They wanted to explain and say something, but their mouths were gagged, so they could only glare fiercely at Li Guihua and He Xian'er.

The onlookers, not wanting to miss out on the spectacle, were all buzzing with discussion.

"Isn't this woman He Gong's stepdaughter?"

"This man looks like Director Chen's son,"

"Good heavens, Liu Xiuhua always tells us how good she is to He Xian'er, but she doesn't seem like that at all."

"That's right, look at what He Xian'er is wearing, why are her clothes so tattered? Xun Pei is wearing the latest style from the supply and marketing cooperative, I remember it costs 15 yuan a piece."

"I remember He Xian'er used to be fair-skinned and very pretty. But ever since Liu Xiuhua married into the family, why is she now covered with a black cloth? And those pimples on her forehead... could it be..."

The woman didn't say anything aloud, but gave everyone a knowing look; those who understood, understood.

In those days, entertainment options were scarce, and the incident of a man and woman catching each other in adultery was quite novel, attracting a growing crowd of onlookers.

"What's going on?" He Bufan shouted as he rushed over, followed by Liu Xiuhua who was jogging behind him.

The two were at work when their neighbor came to tell them that Xun Pei had been caught cheating on her husband.

The neighbor speaks loudly; the workers in the factory can all hear him.

He Bufan asked a close colleague to help them ask for leave, and rushed home without even changing his clothes.

He also forgot about his bicycle, which he wouldn't let anyone touch.

When Li Guihua saw He Bufan and Liu Xiuhua arrive, she cried out at the top of her lungs, "He Bufan, how could you do this to my deceased sister Qin Mingzhu!"

Seeing the disheveled Chen Tongsheng and Xun Pei, He Bufan cursed inwardly, "Two good-for-nothings."

But he still smiled and said, "Sister Li, there must be some misunderstanding. Let's go inside and talk."

Li Guihua, however, refused to give up: "Your stepdaughter stole her stepsister's fiancé, and I caught her red-handed. What misunderstanding could there be!" she said, wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

He Bufan gave Liu Xiuhua a wink, then said, "Let's go inside and talk. There must be things we don't know. Let's clear things up together."

Liu Guihua forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Sister Li, I know it was my fault. I didn't raise my daughter well and made a fool of myself in front of everyone. Let's go back inside and talk about it."

Taking the opportunity, He Bufan said to the onlookers, "Everyone, please disperse. There's nothing to see here. It's all just family business."

Some people who didn't want to leave were persuaded to go by neighbors who usually had a good relationship with He Bufan.

Liu Xiuhua stepped forward and untied Xun Pei's ropes, then removed the rag stuffed in her mouth.

Upon gaining her freedom, Xun Pei immediately went to help Chen Tongsheng untie herself, repeatedly saying, "Brother Asheng, how could these people treat us like this? We are truly in love!"
