Wu Tian pushed through the crowd and walked to the innermost area.
The moment he saw Old Mrs. Wang, his eyes instantly darkened.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Wang was holding a loudspeaker, and Wang Damao was trying to persuade her.
But Old Mrs. Wang paid no heed to Wang Damao.
She shouted loudly through the loudspeaker, "Wang Damao! You don't need to worry about this matter!"
"No matter what happens today, I will absolutely not let that pair of scoundrels have an easy time!"
She yelled, "Villagers, hurry up and come over! My daughter-in-law is having an affair with the village doctor Wu Tian, and they are bullying this old woman! You all must uphold justice for me!"
"This pair of scoundrels defies heavenly principles. According to the old rules, they should both be subjected to the pig cage!"
Hearing Old Mrs. Wang's accusations, the villagers began to murmur amongst themselves:
"Wu Tian is actually having an affair with that widow? That's impossible, right?"
"I also think it's impossible. Wu Tian is so good, he treats us and connects our running water. I don't believe he would do such a thing."
"Wu Tian wouldn't do such a thing, but Bai Xue, who knows!"
"She's a widow, and she's pretty. She doesn't have a man around usually, so she must be lonely!"
"I think she's the one seducing Wu Tian!"
Because Wu Tian had good relations with the villagers, most of them believed him.
But just as they say, where there's a widow, there's gossip. Correspondingly, everyone started to blame Bai Xue.
Hearing the villagers' words, Bai Xue's face almost lost all its color.
She took two steps back, almost falling.
At this moment, Wu Tian gently supported her.
He said in a low voice, "Sister Bai Xue, you don't need to be nervous, and you don't need to say anything. Leave it to me. I have a way to deal with this crazy woman."
In the square, Old Mrs. Wang was still shouting, elaborating on the matter between Wu Tian and Bai Xue.
In her words, the two had become accomplices, wanting to seize Wang Fugui's house.
In short, she said whatever was most malicious.
Wang Damao now had a very good relationship with Wu Tian, so he naturally did not want to see Old Mrs. Wang slandering Wu Tian here.
He was a little anxious and raised his voice, saying, "Old Mrs. Wang! Don't push your luck!"
"Wu Tian has always been a good young man in our village. How could he do what you're saying!"
"I order you to go back immediately! Otherwise, I'll have people drive you away!"
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wang not only did not restrain herself but instead began to wail loudly.
"Ah... my life is so bitter, why is my life so bitter!"
"I told my son long ago that this woman is a jinx."
"Now my son has been jinxed to death by her, and she still wants to collude with her lover to seize my son's house. Who can I reason with!"
"My life is so bitter, my life is so bitter! Heavens, why are you so blind? If you want me to die, then take me away!"
Old Mrs. Wang cried and wailed, which greatly annoyed Wang Damao.
But he knew Old Mrs. Wang's personality. If she was pushed too far, who knew what she would do!
Old Mrs. Wang's cries echoed in the square, and more and more people gathered, the scene becoming larger and larger.
Bai Xue felt like she was about to break down. Just as she was about to step forward to argue,
Wu Tian stepped out first.
"Hey! How long are you going to keep this act up?" Wu Tian walked to the center of the square and said to Old Mrs. Wang.
As soon as Wu Tian appeared, everyone present immediately quieted down.
Many people felt excited, as if a good show was about to unfold.
The moment Old Mrs. Wang saw Wu Tian, she was furious and pointed at him, scolding, "You bastard! How dare you come here! Have you no shame!"
Wang Damao also quickly pulled Wu Tian aside and whispered, "Wu Tian, why are you coming over at this time?"
"That crazy woman is throwing a tantrum here. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, an upright person fears no slander."
"If I didn't show up today, wouldn't that mean I have something to hide?"
After speaking, Wu Tian turned his head and said loudly to the villagers:
"Everyone! I know this farce has made everyone very confused! But today, I must clarify one thing!"
"Everyone knows I, Wu Tian, am an orphan. Ever since I was young, Sister Bai Xue has taken care of me. In my heart, Sister Bai Xue is like my own sister!"
"Tell me, is there anything wrong with me being close to Sister Bai Xue now?"
"If I deliberately kept my distance from Sister Bai Xue, wouldn't that make me an ungrateful person!"
Wu Tian's words were resounding, and everyone felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
After all, most of them already believed Wu Tian, so as long as there was a reasonable explanation, they would believe it.
Someone shouted at Old Mrs. Wang, "Old Mrs. Wang, did you misunderstand something? I think Wu Tian and Bai Xue's relationship is very normal!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Wang roared, her face flushed red. "If their relationship were normal, even a sow could climb a tree!"
"Don't believe him, he's lying to you all!"
"We should boycott this pair of scoundrels, we should drive them all out!"
Wu Tian sneered and said, "Old Mrs. Wang, I think you're upset because the money you were about to get has flown away!"
"Everyone! Today Old Mrs. Wang approached Sister Bai Xue, saying she had already received a deposit from Liu Yidao of the neighboring village and intended to marry Sister Bai Xue to Liu Yidao!"
"If you put it nicely, it's marriage, but in reality, isn't it selling a wife!"
"I believe everyone knows who Liu Yidao is. He's a man who can beat his own wife to death."
"Tell me, isn't Old Mrs. Wang's action pushing Sister Bai Xue into a fiery pit, isn't it a complete lack of humanity!"
Seeing that Wu Tian had exposed this matter, Old Mrs. Wang yelled frantically, "You're talking nonsense! There's no such thing!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's lying! I don't know any Liu Yidao at all."
At this moment, someone from the crowd said, "That's not right, Old Mrs. Wang. I seem to remember seeing you with Liu Yidao today?"
"That's right, he was holding a knife, and he seemed to be heading towards Bai Xue's house."
As soon as this piece of information was revealed, the villagers immediately exploded.
Various doubts and accusations immediately rained down on Old Mrs. Wang like a hail of bullets.
"Old Mrs. Wang, explain what this means. Didn't you say you didn't know Liu Yidao?"
"Old Mrs. Wang, you're too unkind."
"If you let Bai Xue marry Liu Yidao, aren't you harming her?"
"Exactly, Bai Xue is truly unlucky to have a mother-in-law like you..."
Old Mrs. Wang was stunned.
No, wasn't she supposed to be accusing Wu Tian and Bai Xue this time?
How did it turn out that she was the one being pointed at by everyone?
