Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

This man was the one they called Cao'er's father, Niu Tiegen, the man with the shrew lying in the yard, and the one who helped the original owner pick up things in town yesterday.

He was right there, listening to his wife smearing the original owner of the body without saying a word. Now that he's stepped forward, it seems this couple is just trying to extort money from the original owner.

“Miss Du, let’s talk this out. If you hurt her, there will be no one to take care of your two children.”

Ah!

Listen to this, how could an honest and taciturn person say such a thing?

"Hey! Brother Niu's here too! Why are you standing at the back without saying a word? Are you waiting to watch the show? Or are you waiting for your wife to drive me to my death and then seize my property? Don't you know what happened yesterday? I helped pick up some things, so I gave you two pieces of candy as a thank you. Isn't that enough? There are many people coming and going in the general store. There are plenty of people who saw the whole thing. You don't really think that you two can make all the decisions, do you?"

"When your wife attacked me just now, were you selectively blind to it? But when I was defending myself, did you see it?" Du Yuejiao mocked. She looked down on men who hid behind women and let them fight.

Calling him a man is giving him too much credit.

“Didn’t she not run into you? She made a mistake yesterday, she misunderstood. I just came from the fields.” Niu Tiegen regretted coming up with the idea. The woman in front of him was nothing like the cowardly woman he had seen yesterday.

"So you mean if your wife hits me, I can't fight back and just have to obediently take it?" Du Yuejiao sneered. "You think a simple misunderstanding is enough? Don't you know how important reputation is to a woman? If I had been a little weaker just now, I would have hanged myself from the rafters. Would you still be saying it was a misunderstanding?"

"You take a life with just a few words, and you feel incredibly accomplished?"

As soon as Du Yuejiao finished speaking, the villagers' murmurs could be heard outside.

“Reputation is very important to a woman. In my hometown village, a few years ago a girl was driven to her death, but it was later found that someone had deliberately spread rumors to slander her.”

"I've heard about that too. The girl was only fifteen when she died."

"so poor."

"Who says it isn't?"

Du Yuejiao continued, "Oh! I forgot something. The day before yesterday afternoon, I saw Cao'er's mother and a strange man, their clothes disheveled, embracing each other on the back mountain. They didn't separate until about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. What do you think happened between them?"

As expected, most people in the village echoed this sentiment without a second thought.

“The day before yesterday afternoon, I think I also saw Cao’er’s mother carrying a basket to the back mountain.”

Now that you mention it, I remember now, it seems like I was wearing this very outfit.

"Yes, yes, I ran into one too."

Cao'er's mother shouted angrily, "You bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!" She struggled to get up and hit Du Yuejiao, but was frightened by the smile on Du Yuejiao's face. She clutched her stomach and shrank back to the ground.

Du Yuejiao scoffed inwardly. Look at human nature. When someone is down on their luck, everyone pushes them down. She hadn't even gone out the day before yesterday afternoon, let alone to the back mountain. What she saw was just something she said offhand.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. Cao’er’s mother went back to her parents’ home the day before yesterday and didn’t go to the back mountain at all,” Niu Tiegen explained with a gloomy face.

But no one believed him. They just nodded perfunctorily, their eyes still fixed on the couple.

"Du Meizi, for my sake," Niu Tiegen mumbled, trying to divert the villagers' attention.

"Stop. I've only been married into Niujia Village for three months, and I've only been out a limited number of times. The only time I had contact with you was yesterday in town when you helped me, and I thanked you with candy. We're even now. We have no relation whatsoever. If we have to be, we're just from the same village. Also, please don't call me 'sister.' We're not close." Du Yuejiao interrupted him and corrected him.

"Yes, yes, Miss Du, it's all my fault for being so tactless and making you angry. If you say we're not close, then we're not close!" Niu Tiegen said this on purpose. He originally wanted to use his words to get this woman to marry him as a concubine, so that these six brick houses would be his. He didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with. Now he just wanted to ruin her.

Damn it!

Du Yue, feeling coquettish, wanted to hit someone. She clenched her fist and slammed it hard into the man's face. The man fell heavily to the ground, and three teeth fell out of his mouth when he opened it.

"you"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Have some shame, okay? If you want a house, go build one. What kind of skill is it to stare at other people's houses? The villagers of Niujia Village are simple and honest. How did a shameless person like you come from? This time you're eyeing my house. If you succeed, will you be eyeing other land, other people's wives, or other people's sons next time?" Du Yuejiao didn't give him a chance to speak and launched into a barrage of questions.

Not only did he praise everyone in Niujia Village, but he also brought up the villagers' interests, which made everyone restless and they all condemned Niu Tiegen.

Finally, the village chief arrived, and the farce finally came to an end.

The village chief of Niujia Village is not surnamed Niu; his surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Jun. He is the younger brother of the head of another major surname in the village, Shi. He is honest and kind, and has done a lot for the village, earning the deep respect and love of the villagers.

Village Chief Shi walked in and immediately started cursing at Niu Tiegen, "You two have really grown some guts? Teaming up to bully a little girl, don't you have any shame?"

“Uncle Shi, that’s not how it is. She hit us. Look, she knocked out the master’s teeth.” Cao’er’s mother tried to explain.

But Village Chief Shi didn't stop at all, and he certainly didn't believe her words. Would the quiet Du Yuejiao really hit someone?

"She hit you? Why didn't she hit someone else? I think you two deserve a beating. You can't live a peaceful life, you're always causing trouble. Don't you see how ugly you are? People aren't blind, why would they like her?" Village Chief Shi didn't give Niu Tiegen and his wife any face at all. Although he didn't explicitly name names, everyone knew who he was talking about.

"Uncle Shi, I didn't. It really was her who seduced the master, otherwise..."

"Shut up! A woman, always talking about seduction, doesn't she even know what kind of person she is?" Village Chief Shi interrupted her, then shouted to the crowd, "Shi Xiao, come in, tell everyone what happened at the general store yesterday?"

Since Village Chief Shi arrived, Du Yuejiao greeted him and then stood quietly to the side, listening to him rebuke Cao'er's mother. It was so satisfying; if the timing hadn't been wrong, she would have clapped and cheered.

Just like Village Chief Shi said, a good-for-nothing who hides behind a woman's back is someone no one would want even if given away for free, so why would he need to seduce him?

Sure enough, after Village Chief Shi arrived, the good-for-nothing Wo Naofei pretended to be an honest man again, hiding behind the woman and not saying a word.
