Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Chapter 50 The Ex-Husband in the Historical Fiction 16

Seeing that her husband had disappeared, He Xinlian panicked and was about to follow him when she was caught red-handed by the police officers nearby.

She panicked, fearing that these people would lock her up in jail, which would truly ruin her life.

So she dared not renege anymore and said to Wang Juan, "I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back, okay?"

"Then hurry up and take it out." Wang Juan reached out her hand impatiently.

"I have no money on me right now." Facing the crowd of onlookers, He Xinlian felt extremely humiliated and hated Shao Jianjun for being heartless and abandoning her.

You see, although she kept the fifty yuan herself, all the gifts were spent by everyone in the family together.

Since you are husband and wife, you should share both happiness and hardship.

At that moment, He Xinlian simply went all out and said, "I can write you an IOU and have my family pay you back."

"Hmph, you better keep your word, or you'll regret it."

Wang Juan rolled her eyes at the other person, and when she saw her husband coming over, she whispered a few words in the other person's ear before returning to the courtyard with her big pregnant belly.

Since she was a relative of the grain station manager, the police were quite lenient and even brought two bicycles to escort He Xinlian back to Niutou Village.

Not to mention the huge shock that He Xinlian's arrest by the police caused in the village.

Shao Linshen has finally gotten rid of the group of bloodsuckers from the eldest son's family, and good things are happening one after another.

By the time he was "tricked" back to the Chen family by Aunt Chen, the previous events had already come to an end, and he himself was stuffed with a huge pile of gifts by the Chen family.

Shao Lin Shen glanced at the burlap sack in front of him and saw that it contained ten catties of flour, a two-catty piece of pork, a bag of fruit candies, two cans of yellow peaches, and a box of biscuits in a tin can.

Shao Linshen didn't want it in the first place, but the Chen family said they would give him a ride so he could get acquainted with the place, and then they just left him there with his things.

There was no village or shop in sight. Shao Linshen watched the Chen family walk away, feeling both helpless and touched. His usually thick skin turned slightly red, and he secretly resolved to find a suitable opportunity next time to take out some good things from his spatial storage to return the favor...

In Niutou Village.

The villagers were still working diligently in the fields, chatting about recent trivial matters.

Among them, the two incidents that happened to the Shao family were mentioned the most.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't marry a sent-down youth. But Zhao Fang is such an arrogant woman, always looking down on everyone as if she's found some gold. She keeps talking about her daughter-in-law, acting like she doesn't have anyone else."

"Hey, they're usually quiet, but when they go crazy, they cause chaos in the house. Look at them, who has elderly parents still living in the family? They've already separated from the family and are living on their own."

"If you ask me, the most outrageous thing was what happened yesterday at noon. Tsk tsk, she actually put her own man with... Oh, I'm too embarrassed to even talk about it."

In the field, several gossipy old women chattered amongst themselves, their eyes constantly glancing at the eldest son of the Shao family, making Zhao Fang and the others feel uneasy, as if ants were crawling all over them.

"Mom, it's all my sister-in-law's fault. Listen to what everyone is saying about our family. Waaah... I'm too ashamed to go out." The second daughter, Shao Hongxia, cried to Zhao Fang with a gloomy face, thinking that it would be best to stay at home for a few days to avoid being pointed at and gossiped about by the villagers.

I can also take a few days off at home and relax a bit.

Before she could even voice her inner thoughts, her mother pinched her arm and launched into a tirade of abuse:

"You little brat, you're really trying to fool me. Do you think everyone knows what you're up to? If you don't work, what will you eat and drink? If you keep arguing with me, I'll have your dad come and give you a beating."

The youngest son, who had been eavesdropping nearby, saw that his second sister hadn't gotten away with anything, and his initial scheming gave up.

Zhao Fang was furious at the two debt collectors beside her. Looking around to make sure no one else was nearby, she quickly warned them in a low voice:

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense. They just can't stand to see our family doing well. Once your eldest brother gets a stable job, and with your sister-in-law's family helping us out from time to time, our good days are yet to come."

"Mom, didn't you say that my sister-in-law was a jinx? Why are you saying she's good now?" Shao Hongxia retorted.

As a result, her mother pinched her again, and her arm turned blue.

Zhao Fang nodded at her head with a look of exasperation, and lectured her:

"If I don't tease that woman every now and then, wouldn't she be getting all cocky?"

Especially you, Jianbing, when you get married, you'll have to know when to coax her and when to scold her. You have to find the right balance. You can't be like your brother, throwing all his money at his wife and ending up with nothing.”

The three were chatting quietly when, as if on cue, Cao Cao appeared.

They looked up and saw their eldest son/brother riding his bicycle alone from the village entrance. From a distance, they could see his dark face, and the three of them felt inexplicably panicked, nearly hitting their toes with the hoes in their hands.

Zhao Fang didn't care about anything else at that moment. She threw down her hoe and rushed out of the field to stop her eldest son, hurriedly saying:

"Jianjun, where's your wife? Why didn't she come back with you? Did you finish up your work?"

"What are you going to do!"

Shao Jianjun was furious, and his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, attracting the attention of the villagers working nearby who all secretly glanced in his direction.

He could only lower his voice and say, "That woman never tells the truth. She said she bought the job, but she took credit for that bastard Shao Linshen's work. She was exposed in the county town just now, and even the police came."

"What, what did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fang's eyes widened immediately. After hearing her son repeat it, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

"Mom!" Shao Jianjun threw down his bicycle and helped his mother up from the ground. Just then, he heard the sound of two bicycle bells coming from the village entrance.

Looking up, he saw his wife being escorted into the village by two policemen. He gasped for breath and wished he could faint right then and there.

Then, some nosy villagers shouted:

"Oh dear, this is terrible! Shao Jianjun's wife has caused trouble again. This time even the police have come. She must have done something serious."

This earth-shattering shout attracted everyone in the village, whether they saw it or not, and they all pricked up their ears and widened their eyes to watch the spectacle.

Grandpa Shao and Uncle Shao were working in another field, which was far away. By the time they heard the news, everyone in the village knew about it.

Their legs gave way and the two nearly fell into the ditch. They were "kindly" helped up by the surrounding villagers and half-dragged, half-carried to the two police officers.

"Are you He Xinlian's family?"

One of the older police officers, with a stern face, looked at Shao Jianjun and the others and threatened them:

“Someone reported that Comrade He is suspected of fraud. If the family is willing to return the debt, the victim will not pursue the matter. Otherwise, we will deal with him severely.”

Uncle Shao and the others felt a heart attack upon hearing this, but before they could speak, Zhao Fang, who had just woken up and heard the words, blurted out:

“This dead woman has nothing to do with my family. If you want to arrest her, then arrest her. Whether she goes to jail or is executed is up to you. My family has no money to pay back.”

These words caused an uproar among all the villagers present.
