Qin Yunsheng ran ahead, seeing the mess left at the Cheng family’s house, she rushed anxiously to Yun Zheng. “Are you alright, Fifth Sister? What did the Cheng family do to you?”
Yun Zheng winked mischievously at Qin Yunsheng and whispered, “Third Sister, I’m fine.”
Qin Yunsheng checked her sister over, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her sister hadn’t been hurt.
Cheng Linshi rolled her eyes. “How could that brat Qin Yunzheng not be alright? It’s our Cheng family that’s in trouble! Village Chief, you’ve come at the right time! You have to uphold justice for our Cheng family! Qin Yunzheng has committed a heinous crime by attacking her elders and making a mess of my house. She has committed a grave offense of disrespect.”
Li Shan was also quite surprised after hearing the whole story. He knew that Yun Zheng was most fond of the Cheng family, so how could she do something so shocking?
Fearing the village chief wouldn’t believe her, Cheng Linshi gave Zhang Li a meaningful look. Zhang Li immediately stepped forward, then pointing to her swollen face, said, “Village chief, look at my face! It was Zheng’er who hit me. I only asked her to help me wash some clothes. Although I’m not her biological mother, I’m her nominal stepmother. I can’t let a junior slap me like that!”
Cheng Fugui also hated Yun Zheng intensely. Seeing his family supporting him, he also started groaning in pain, “A sister hitting her brother? That’s outrageous!”
Yun Zheng always liked to steal eggs from one house and melons from another in the village.
The villagers already had grievances against Yun Zheng, and seeing this, they all questioned her in unison.
“Zheng’er, you’re really outrageous! How could you hit your mother’s face?”
“You’re so old now, what’s wrong with helping your mother with some chores?”
“This is truly unbecoming; you must be disciplined!”
Everyone chimed in with their reprimands. Cheng Linshi glared smugly at Yun Zheng, thinking, “She can’t be so arrogant now, can she? She’ll be kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness soon enough.”
“Impossible! My fifth sister is obedient, cute, and sensible! Don’t frame her!”
Qin Yunsheng hurriedly spoke up to defend Yun Zheng, causing the villagers to burst into laughter.
Seriously, do they think everyone’s blind? What kind of obedient, cute, and sensible girl would empty her own home to support someone else?
Li Shan looked at the silent Yun Zheng with some curiosity. “Zheng girl, are they telling the truth? Did you really do such heartless things?”
Yun Zheng pursed her lips, her long, curled eyelashes drooping, concealing the chill in her eyes. But her voice was timid and soft as she spoke, “I, I didn’t…”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Cheng Linshi put her hands on her hips. “You brat, you still dare to deny it? We all saw it with our own eyes!”
Yun Zheng said slowly, “You’re all family, of course you can say you saw it and that’s it. Besides, I just escaped death and haven’t recovered yet. How could I have the strength to destroy or beat my older brother…”
These words reminded everyone.
Yes, Yun Zheng had just jumped into the river and was rescued; she was still weak!
Not to mention the fierce Old Madam Cheng, who was difficult to deal with, there was also Cheng Fugui, who was fat and bloated. How could Yun Zheng be a match for him?
Cheng Linshi nearly fainted with anger. “You heartless, gossipy brat! My cane is still in your hand, aren’t you afraid of your mouth rotting from lying!”
“That’s because you were going to hit me, and I was afraid of being beaten, so I snatched it away,” Yun Zheng said hesitantly, perfectly portraying the lingering fear of a weak young girl.
Cheng Linshi almost vomited blood. This brat was too good at pretending. She wanted to hit her, but could she win?
“Village chief, this old woman never lies. Don’t be fooled by this heartless brat. She wasn’t like this before you came!”
“Everything is said by your Cheng family. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, it’s slander.” Yun Zheng’s eyes were bright, and her voice was solemn. “Do I need to remind you? Slander is listed in the national law. Are you trying to break the law?”
Li Shan’s eyes lit up. In his eyes, Yun Zheng had always been an ignorant, stupid, and cowardly girl.
Today, however, she had changed his opinion.
The Cheng family was utterly dumbfounded. They were shameless enough as usual, but Qin Yunzheng had surpassed them all!
Cheng Linshi’s blood pressure soared. “Qin Yunzheng, you little brat, you dare to challenge me! I’ll tear you apart today!”
“Old hag Cheng, you dare to touch a hair on my daughter’s head!”
Qin Baishi’s booming voice pierced through the air, accompanied by her son Qin Gang, daughter-in-law Qin Heshi, daughter Qin Zhihua, and grandsons Qin Shen, Qin Yang, and Qin Lang, who stormed in with a formidable entourage.
Qin Yunsheng’s eyes lit up. Luckily, she had the foresight to send a message to the family on the way, fearing her fifth sister would suffer. With family around, no one could bully her fifth sister.
