Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Qi Ning looked at Wei Shi in front of her.

“Sister-in-law, I know you are saddened by my brother’s passing, but what does this have to do with me? He must have been flogged by the magistrate and died from his injuries, right?”

"How can it not be your fault? If you hadn't been so dissolute and frivolous, seducing our Da Hu, how could he have been led to do those things, and how could he have been flogged by the magistrate?"

Wei glared fiercely at Qi Ning.

She seemed to have forgotten that it was she who had encouraged Chen Dahu to report to the authorities in order to secure Chen Hehua's inheritance.

Now that Chen Dahu is dead, the Wei family blames all the mistakes on Qi Ning.

Even though Chen Dahu himself admitted that he coveted Qi Ning, Wei Shi stubbornly believed that Qi Ning must have seduced Chen Dahu.

Qi Ning's face paled slightly: "Sister-in-law, how can you say that? When did I ever seduce my cousin? It was clearly him..."

"Shut up! You vixen, you still won't admit it!"

Wei shouted, "In my opinion, you've probably been having an affair for a long time. You've seduced not only Da Hu from our family, but also Meng Shaoqing from your village, and countless other men!"

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

Compared to the Wei family, Qi Ning's words lacked any imposing presence; he was completely being crushed and bullied by the Wei family.

Wei persisted relentlessly, spewing out all sorts of vulgarities, obscene language, and lewd words.

Qi Ning looked like she couldn't argue with her at all, and her eyes were red with anger.

The villagers, including Aunt Xiuyun, a neighbor who was close to Qi Ning, just watched the spectacle from the sidelines, and not one of them stepped forward to speak up for Qi Ning.

Seeing this, Meng Shaoqing, who was behind the crowd, unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.

Qi Ning leaned against the door frame, looking utterly helpless.

"Sister-in-law, just tell me straight, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Qi Ning's question hit the nail on the head, and upon hearing it, Madam Wei finally stopped her insults.

That's right, they came to see Qi Ning today not only to vent their anger by scolding her, but also for other purposes.

Chen Dahu is already dead, and no matter how much trouble he causes, he can't come back to life.

But in order to treat Chen Dahu's illness, they spent almost all of their savings. How were they going to live from now on?

The reason they came here today to cause this scene is ultimately for money.

With her hands on her hips, Madam Wei cut to the chase: "You're the one who killed our Da Hu. We've spent all our savings over the years trying to pay for his medical treatment. You have to pay us back!"

Qi Ning was not surprised at all; she had already guessed the Chen family's purpose.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I have no obligation to compensate you. Even if I did, I don't have the money."

"What do you mean you have no money? Who are you trying to fool? Your aunt passed away suddenly, she must have left behind some money, and you probably pocketed it all, didn't you?"

They knew perfectly well that this Qi woman could weave cloth, and the money from selling the cloth went into Chen Hehua's pocket.

Now that Chen Hehua is dead, it's no surprise that Qi Ning took all that money.

“I said I didn’t have any. My mother, mother-in-law, and I are the only two people in the family. Where would we have any money?”

Qi Ning remained unyielding.

"impossible!"

Wei took a few steps closer to Qi Ning and said, "Let me tell you, you have to pay this money today. If you don't, we're going to go in and rob you."

"Furthermore, it's not just the money; we also have to have this courtyard. We are Aunt's family, and we should have a share!"

The villagers watching were all surprised to learn that the Chen family had come to cause trouble in order to get the Meng family's money and courtyard.

Even so, no one went to help Qi Ning. After all, the Chen family was Chen Hehua's maternal family, and this was their family matter, so it was not appropriate for others to interfere.

The main reason is that Meng Jiyang and Chen Hehua are no longer alive, leaving only Qi Ning, a daughter-in-law from another family. Moreover, her reputation is not good, and no one is willing to go and help her at this time, otherwise they will only cause trouble for themselves.

Qi Ning stood in front of the door. She looked much thinner than Wei Shi, but she still said, "I will not give you either money or this courtyard. Just give up on that idea."

"Fine, looks like you won't admit defeat until you're faced with the truth. If you won't give it to us, then we'll just go in and rob us!"

As she spoke, Wei said to the Chen family members behind her, "Let's go in, throw out Qi's things, kick her out, and this place will be ours from now on!"

Upon hearing this, the younger siblings of the Chen family immediately tried to rush inside.

Seeing this, Qi Ning reached out to stop them.

"Why should I? I am the daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Why should you barge into my home and drive me away?"

When Wei saw Qi Ning blocking the doorway, she immediately went up to hit him.

But just as she raised her hand, a voice suddenly appeared.

"stop!"

Wei paused, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

The same applies to others.

Meng Shaoqing emerged from behind the crowd.

Meng Shaoqing originally only intended to come and take a look; he didn't want to get involved. Otherwise, his relationship with Qi Ning would be even more complicated.

However, with so many members of the Chen family bullying Qi Ning, a weak woman, not a single one of the other villagers who were watching stepped forward to help, which disappointed Meng Shaoqing.

Seeing Qi Ning's isolated and helpless state, he couldn't bear to stand by and watch, so he stepped forward.

Meng Shaoqing walked straight up to Qi Ning and shielded her.

"What are you doing? Chen Dahu didn't die because of her. He died because the magistrate flogged him. Why don't you go to the magistrate for an explanation? Instead, you come here to make a scene. Aren't you bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

The Chen family knew, of course, that Chen Dahu died because he had been flogged by the county magistrate.

But how could they dare to go to the county magistrate to complain? Wouldn't that be courting death?

"We're dealing with our family matters, what's it to you?"

She paused, then said sarcastically, "Oh, could it be that you two really have something going on? My Da Hu didn't wrong you two adulterers!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers watching began to whisper among themselves.

They had already suspected that Qi Ning and Meng Shaoqing's relationship was a bit abnormal. Today, Meng Shaoqing stood up for Qi Ning and protected her so much. It seems that they probably really have a secret affair!

At this point, Qi Ning seemed to have reached her limit.

She stepped out from behind Meng Shaoqing: "Brother Shaoqing, you don't need to help me, lest you get dragged into this again."

Meng Shaoqing looked at Qi Ning: "Sister-in-law, I just can't stand seeing them bully you like this."

Wei had no patience to listen to their excuses. She had wanted to hit Qi Ning earlier but failed, and now that she saw an opportunity, she wanted to take the chance to slap Qi Ning.

"Bitch!"

Wei cursed, and as soon as she raised her hand, Meng Shaoqing saw it out of the corner of his eye.

He swiftly grabbed Wei's wrist and pushed her backward.
