After running into the school, Shen Yuan calmed down and began to regret her impulsive actions. She shouldn't have acted so rashly; her actions had played right into Shen Chumo's hands. However, what was done was done, and the most important thing now was to break Shen Chumo's promise to Huo Yunhan.

As Shen Yuan touched the letter in her arms, her heart gradually calmed down. She had a premonition that it was coming soon. Huo Yunhan no longer had any good feelings for Shen Chumo. As long as there was a little more opportunity, the engagement could be broken.

A few days passed quickly, and Shen Chumo gradually cleared her name. Now, everyone who mentions her name praises her.

On the other hand, while Wu Lili and the others didn't directly cause trouble for Shen Yuan, they still secretly spread the word about Shen Yuan speaking ill of Shen Chumo. Incidentally, Wu Lili also revealed that Shen Yuan's tuition was paid by Shen Chumo's father, which wasn't exactly a secret in Pinggang Village.

Shen Zhian constantly complained that Shen Yuan was a money-loser. If it weren't for Shen Zhiguo, who was a sucker, he wouldn't have let Shen Yuan go to school. It would have been much better if Shen Yuan had just stayed and helped with farm work.

When the two things are discussed together, the whole school knows that Shen Yuan is an ingrate. Even the teachers approached Shen Yuan and hinted that she should have a conscience and that students should prioritize character.

Shen Yuan ran out of the office, her eyes red with shame. This was the first time she had suffered such a great loss since her rebirth, and she didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

She always thought that she could control everything and get what she wanted after being reborn, but she never expected to suffer such a big setback with Shen Chumo.

After school, Shen Yuan stopped Shen Chumo, who was riding a bicycle, on the path back to the village. "Shen Chumo, let's talk."

"What to talk about?"

"Shen Chumo, stop pretending. You're the one who spread the rumors about what happened at school, aren't you?" Shen Yuan said angrily.

Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about the things that ruined my reputation, or the things that my dad paid for your tuition? But these two things aren't made up, aren't they the truth?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Yuan shouted excitedly.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Shen Chumo sneered. "You dare say you didn't speak ill of me at school? And about the tuition fee, the whole village knows. Are you still trying to deny it?"

Shen Yuan gritted her teeth. She knew she was in the wrong, but she couldn't just admit defeat. "Even if all of this is true, so what? What right do you have to tell others?"

Shen Chumo looked at Shen Yuan, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

“Shen Yuan, I’ve always been curious about what I did wrong to you that you would do this to me. From childhood to adulthood, your family treated you like a slave. If it weren’t for my family protecting you and feeding and caring for you, you would probably have been married off by your parents by now.”

Although we sisters aren't very close, I've always considered us family. But Shen Yuan, what did you do?

"You and Wang Dazhi conspired to ruin me!!! A woman's innocence is paramount. You've pushed me to the brink of death, and now you have the nerve to ask me why? I've shown you mercy by not sending you to the police station!"

"You..." Shen Yuan was still resentful. In her heart, her husband in her past life loved Shen Chumo, and she had lived in Shen Chumo's shadow for the rest of her life. Therefore, she believed that Shen Chumo owed her something.

But these things haven't happened yet, and Shen Yuan can't bring herself to say them.

"Can't say it? I'll say it for you: because you're jealous of me. Jealous that my family dotes on me, jealous that everything goes smoothly for me, jealous that I'm young and beautiful."

Shen Yuan, look at yourself. You're just like a bedbug in a sewer, forever unable to see the light of day.

You spend all day hiding in dark corners, maliciously hoping that those who are doing better than you will suffer. You are a selfish, narrow-minded person, and your heart is full of jealousy and resentment, like a pool of foul-smelling sewage.

Do you think your bad deeds will go undetected? Do you think you can continue to do as you please? Let me tell you, what goes around comes around; your evil deeds will eventually be punished.

"No, that's not how it is! The one who's wrong isn't me, it's you!" Shen Yuan roared angrily.

Seeing that Shen Yuan showed no remorse whatsoever, Shen Chumo was too lazy to waste any more words with her. "Alright, I don't want to waste my time with you." Shen Chumo rode her bicycle around Shen Yuan and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Shen Yuan called out to Shen Chumo, "What exactly do you want in order for you to help me clarify things at school?"

Shen Chumo stopped the car, turned around and looked at Shen Yuan, "Shen Yuan, you really are your parents' child, just as selfish, greedy and ruthless as they are."

Do you think the world revolves around you? You're wrong. No one will always cater to you. Everything you're suffering now is your own doing. You should reflect on your behavior instead of begging me for help. I won't help you.

Watching Shen Chumo ride away on her bicycle, Shen Yuan shouted resentfully, "Shen Chumo, I will make you regret this!"

Shen Chumo ignored Shen Yuan, riding her bicycle and calculating the time in her mind. Huo Yunhan should be coming to annul the engagement soon. In her previous life, Huo Yunhan and his mother Xin Lei came to Pinggang Village to annul the engagement, and in front of everyone, they belittled Shen Chumo to nothing.

Shen Chuyang, feeling sorry for her younger sister, went to argue with Huo Yunhan. During the argument, a physical altercation ensued. Huo Yunhan did not retaliate at the time, but afterwards detained Shen Chuyang at the police station on charges of assaulting a soldier.

Shen Chumo was already mentally unstable due to the rumors circulating in the village about her relationship with Wang Dazhi. This new news, coupled with her taking the blame upon herself, made her unable to bear the pressure and led her to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Although she was eventually rescued, Shen Chumo's reputation was already ruined. Wang Dazhi took the opportunity to propose marriage, taking advantage of the situation. Even though Shen Zhiguo and his wife were unwilling, they had no choice but to marry Shen Chumo off to him.

Although Huo Yunhan only believed Shen Yuan's words and misunderstood Shen Chumo's character to break off the engagement, it is undeniable that he was indeed the executioner who caused Shen Chumo's tragic fate.

If he wanted to annul the engagement, the two families could easily reach a private agreement. The Shen family is not one to curry favor with the powerful, and besides, they were unwilling to marry their daughter off to such a distant place.

But Huo Yunhan chose to make a big fuss, letting everyone in Pinggang Village know that Shen Chumo had been jilted, making her the laughingstock of the whole village. They completely forgot that the marriage was arranged by the Huo family, and also forgot the life-saving grace that Shen's grandfather had shown to the old commander.

Huo Yunhan's mother is no good either. Shen Chumo hasn't even entered the Huo family yet, and she's already acting like a mother-in-law. It can only be said that the original owner was extremely unlucky to have encountered such a family.
