Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

These words were like a thunderclap in a dry land, instantly enlightening everyone.

"Yeah, it was this bastard who said he heard someone having an affair in the dilapidated house on the east side, so I went to check it out," someone began to recall.

"Yeah, me too," several people around echoed.

Some of the quick-thinking ones, without needing any prompting, started asking further questions:

"Er Laizi, didn't you say you saw someone running this way? You know what he looks like best, so tell me, was it Shao Jianjun who did it?"

When Erlaizi realized something had gone wrong, he was about to quietly leave the crowd when someone called his name.

The crowd parted from the middle, exposing him to everyone's view.

He panicked for a moment, thinking of the woman who had just spoken, and her cowardly and bullying nature was fully revealed at that moment.

He ignored everyone else, staring intently at Sun Lanlan, the female educated youth who had just called out his name, and shouted:

"What business is it of yours if you call her a bitch? Can't I have just misread it? If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart."

As he was about to strike, several male educated youths nearby saw this and quickly stepped forward to subdue him.

"What are you doing? You did something wrong and you want to hit me?"

“What Sun, the educated youth, said is all true. If you hadn’t done something wrong, why are you getting so worked up?”

The villagers were quite xenophobic. These educated youths came from all over the country and, although they were nominally there to build the countryside in response to the organization's arrangements, they were not as good as others in terms of work and other tasks. They were often disliked by the villagers. In order not to be bullied, the educated youths were very united in times of trouble.

Seeing Sun Lanlan being bullied, several male educated youths spontaneously went to her defense.

Er Laizi was at a loss for what to do, and with Village Chief Li and the others watching him closely, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyes involuntarily drifted toward He Xinlian.

He stammered, "What...what does this have to do with me? None of you know, how...how could I possibly know?"

"You scoundrel, tell me the truth, did you pull this stunt?"

Village Chief Li walked up to him with a stern face and said:

"I just asked the other villagers, and none of them saw anyone run this way. You were standing with everyone at the time, so how did you see it?"

And so accurately led everyone to find Shao Jianjun, who was unconscious in the haystack.

Faced with the questioning, Er Laizi's eyes darted around, and he dared not answer.

Seeing his guilty look, Village Chief Li was already seven or eight parts convinced that he was definitely involved in this matter. He glared at him with disgust and gave him orders:

"A few men, tie up this beast who has brought shame to the village, and we'll take him to the county to hand him over to the police."

"Oh no!" Cold sweat broke out on He Xinlian's back. She stamped her feet anxiously, trying to find a way to distract herself, when she heard Er Laizi confess:

“Village chief, don’t drag me to the police station. I really didn’t do this. It was Shao Jianjun’s wife. She gave me money and told me to lead you to the dilapidated house. And as for the matter of catching the adulterer, she was the one who hinted that I should come this way.”

"Village chief, please let me go. I really didn't do anything else."

As soon as she said this, the crowd erupted in uproar, everyone staring at He Xinlian with strange looks.

"No, it wasn't me, he's lying."

He Xinlian naturally refused to admit it, but Er Laizi made it very clear, even mentioning where the transaction took place and the one yuan in his pocket.

Now everyone believed it.

After all, Erlaizi was a well-known pauper in Niutou Village. His family often went hungry and he would often stay at his brother and sister-in-law's house to freeload. Where would he get such a huge sum of money?

Despite the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd, He Xinlian still refused to admit it, claiming that no one else had witnessed the incident except for her and Er Laizi.

As long as she doesn't admit it, there's nothing they can do about it.

But before outsiders could take any action, Zhao Fang, the mother-in-law, grabbed He Xinlian by the hair and slapped her several times across the face, indirectly taking the blame for her.

"mom?"

He Xinlian covered her swollen face and said angrily, "What are you doing? I told you this has nothing to do with me. It's all Er Laizi's fault for deliberately dragging me into this."

"Pah, you troublemaker, I know what you're up to."

Zhao Fang spat in her face, grabbed He Xinlian's hair, and punched her hard.

Zhao Fang finally understood what had happened today. Since one of her sons or daughters-in-law was going to get into trouble, she would definitely protect her son.

Therefore, no matter how much He Xinlian protested her innocence, Zhao Fang insisted that it was the other party who did it.

Shao Jianjun, who was standing next to him, also suspected that this matter was related to his wife, and he felt a little resentful.

They had only been married for six months and their relationship was going well. At this moment, after Shao Jianjun put on the coat and trousers his father had given him, he wanted to reach out and stop him.

Shao Linshen was watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bickering so intently that he couldn't bear to let them go and spoil the fun.

He grabbed the man from behind, saying as he did so:

"Big cousin, these are women fighting, what are you doing getting involved, a grown man like you?"

"Besides, your aunt did nothing wrong. Your sister-in-law has harmed you so much. If you still protect her, do you really want to admit to this shameful thing?"

Shao Linshen, with an air of "I'm doing this for your own good," restrained the other party while secretly elbowing Shao Jianjun a few times, leaving the other party speechless with grievances.

On the contrary, Aunt Zhao Fang glanced at Shao Linshen with an approving look, and then exclaimed:

"You little slut, I knew you'd cause trouble after you married into this family. But when you fell into the water, if Jianjun hadn't saved you, would you, you little whore, still be standing here talking to me like this?"

"You ungrateful wretch, and you call yourself an educated youth? Bah! I think you're not even as good as a three-year-old in the village."

Zhao Fang got more and more into her rant, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she listed all the wrongdoings He Xinlian had committed since she entered the house.

She accused her of sleeping in late in the morning and not cooking, of secretly saving her son's money, of flirting with other women, and of dressing up extravagantly every day. He Xinlian couldn't take it anymore and immediately started fighting with her.

But this stirred up a hornet's nest.

Uncle Shao, who had been standing by as if nothing had happened, immediately rushed over and launched a mixed doubles attack on He Xinlian.

"Stop it, all of you stop it!"

Grandpa Shao is slow on his feet. He was working in another field outside the village when he heard the news and only just rushed over.

Seeing the big and small families fighting each other, with many villagers watching, he felt a chill run down his spine. He grabbed a tree branch from the ground and hit each of them with it.

"Oh, sir, I was just trying to mediate the fight, it has nothing to do with me."

Shaolin dodged quickly and wasn't hit by the old man, but he deliberately stuck out his teeth and hopped away to the side.

Old Master Shao, too lazy to even look at this shameless scoundrel, glared at him, walked up to Village Chief Li, and said apologetically:

"Qianjin, I'm so sorry. It's my fault for not managing the family well and causing you trouble. Please tell me how to handle this matter. As an elder, I will fully support you."

As he spoke, he repeatedly bowed and apologized to Widow Zhao, Village Chief Li, and others.

"Oh, Uncle Shao, what are you doing? How can an elder bow to a junior? Are you trying to shorten my lifespan?"

Village Chief Li forgot his anger and quickly helped the man up.

Even Widow Zhao, who had been clamoring to call the police, fell silent, muttering that either they should pay compensation or the police should come and arrest He Xinlian.

In any case, she was the complete victim in this whole affair.
