Chapter 50: The adulterer
Bai Zhi helped her mother to go to the front yard. Zhao Lan saw her daughter tightly sipping her mouth and not talking, but her face looked very ugly. So obviously, she was angry. Zhao Lan pulled out a smile and said: “Zier, Niang is fine, it’s really nothing.”
Bai Zhi is a doctor. So, although Zhao Lan said it was nothing, she could see the truth in just one glance. Zhao Lan really does have a tough personality, if it was other women, they had long fainted.
Bai Zhi shook her head and replied: “Niang, you don’t need to speak, I understand.”
Zhao Lan nodded her head and no longer said anything. Her hand was very painful, so she was sweating all over her body. She actually doesn’t have the strength to talk again. She was just clenching her teeth to endure the pain. She doesn’t want her daughter to get worried about her.
Bai Zhi helped Zhao Lan to come to the front yard and looked for a chair for her to sit down.
Bai Dazhu was shouting on the side, saying that he wanted to kill Hu Feng. He also said that he would report Hu Feng to the officials and let him go to the prison.
Village Chief Li went close to him and looked at him from head to toe. Then, he asked: “Dazhu, you said Hu Feng break your hands?”
Bai Dazhu yelled out loud: “If it isn’t him, who else? How many people here had seen it? Can’t he still deny it?”
Hu Feng still looked calm and indifferent. Village Chief Li then asked: “I didn’t say Hu Feng was denying it. I’m asking you, why did he break your hands?”
Bai Dazhu naturally refused to tell the truth: “Do you still need to ask? Obviously, it was for the adulterer pair, it was for Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan. Hu Feng and Bai Zhi are also a pair of young adulterers. Their head was only full of love.”
When Zhao Lan heard his words, she almost faint. She said with a trembling voice: “You, what nonsense are you saying? I and Hu Ge are clean. Zhier and Hu Feng are also not like what you are saying. You are only ruining our reputation.”
Village Chief Li also said: “Dazhu, you cannot just indiscriminate people and talk nonsense. You are saying they were adulterers, do you have any evidence? If you don’t have evidence, you shouldn’t just destroy a woman’s reputation with your mouth. Women’s reputations are comparable with their life.”
Bai Dazhu was sore and hurting, he doesn’t have any more energy to argue. Mrs. Liu, who was standing next to her husband, went on with the topic: “Evidence? It’s all very obvious. Haven’t you noticed it yet? If Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan don’t have that kind of relationship, why Hu Changlin always helping her? I figured it out yesterday, in this whole Huangtuo Village, there were hundreds of families, but why only Zhao Lan was invited to live in his house? She was even picked up by Hu Changlin himself, right? No one will believe anymore that they were not adulterers!”
Village Chief Li said: “I believe Zhao Lan is not that kind of person. Who in Huangtou Village doesn’t know who she really was? If she was such a kind of a person, will she still stay in your Bai Family for more than 10 years? In these ten years, she has been working hard like a horse. She has been working all day long. But did she ever tried to leave with another man? All the villagers can see it, but why you can’t?”
Old Lady Bai coldly interrupted: “It seems you also have a soft spot with Zhao Lan. What is she? Do you know everything about her? If she secretly sneaks out with some wild man, will you be able to know about it?”
Bai Zhi was suffocating in anger, she pointed her finger at Old Lady Bai and said: ” You old woman if you dare to speak more nonsense, I will tear off your mouth.”
Old Lady Bai was shocked, so she busily said: “Did you hear what she said? In front of your face, she dared to yell at this old woman. If you’re not here, I don’t know how she will deal with me.”
