Chapter 123 The Clown
Guo Shunqiang's arrogant and unreasonable words were like a gust of cold wind that blew into the hearts of the villagers and aroused the fire of resentment in their hearts.
How could this person be so unreasonable, as if he didn't care about the rules of the world.
"If she hadn't been having an affair with that man, why didn't she want to go home with me? And what right did he have to touch me?"
Guo Shunqiang had a smug smile on his face, and he looked so proud that everything was under his control.
Xu Xiaohua was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, her chest heaving violently. Anger and grievance intertwined, making her unable to find the right words to fight back for a while. She only felt that the other party was so shameless that it was jaw-dropping.
Xie Zhi was full of grievances, and his voice was somewhat helpless: "I was just following my brother's instructions to help take care of things, how come it became so unbearable in your words?"
His eyes were clear, revealing an unquestionable righteousness.
"Of course you won't admit it. Which thief would admit his crime in public?"
Guo Shunqiang secretly calculated that as long as he held on to this relationship, even if his marriage broke down in the future, the child would never be taken away from him.
He knew that the child was Xu Xiaohua's biggest weakness. Once she lost the child, sooner or later she would return to him with her head lowered.
At that time, all power and control will return to his hands.
Even if Xu Xiaohua filed for a divorce, what would happen?
In the end, she still has to return home and continue playing her role.
The village party secretary was listening to this, his heart was burning with anger, and he almost couldn't help throwing a punch. He stared at Guo Shunqiang with a sharp gaze, "Be careful with your words, Xie Zhi is Xie Yi's brother, and he just returned from the army. Don't be so ignorant."
"Yes, veteran, do you know how to respect?"
The surrounding villagers also echoed, and voices of support rose one after another.
"What kind of behavior is this? Slandering soldiers, aren't you afraid of being sued?"
Another person questioned righteously, his tone full of disdain for Guo Shunqiang's behavior.
Upon hearing this, Guo Shunqiang's face turned pale instantly, cold sweat dripped down his face, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He had never expected that his few wild words would cause such a strong backlash.
Xie Zhiben had no intention of getting too deeply involved, but since he had already stepped forward, he decided to resolve the matter thoroughly.
"As a grown man, you abuse your wife at every turn and don't allow her to file for a divorce. Don't you think what you've done is too much?"
He walked towards Guo Shunqiang step by step, his words revealing an unquestionable firmness, "This marriage must be divorced."
The village party secretary also realized that Guo Shunqiang was not a good person, but as outsiders, it was difficult for them to interfere in the divorce, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
Although Guo Shunqiang was afraid in his heart, he still said firmly: "I was just talking nonsense just now, but who do you think you are in my marriage? It's not your turn to make decisions, right?"
He glared at Xie Zhi fiercely, his eyes full of provocation.
"Why can't I control it? This right was given by Xu Xiufang. We are a family. Why can't relatives help each other?"
Xu Xiufang's voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, clear and firm, like a stream of clear water, dispersing the tense atmosphere at the scene.
Everyone consciously made way for her, and Xu Xiufang slowly stepped into everyone's sight. "
If you don't leave a man like this, are you going to keep him for the New Year? The people from the Women's Federation will be here soon. Whether you agree or not is no longer important."
There was unquestionable power in her words and a resolute look in her eyes, completely different from her weak image in the past. If Xie Zhi had not witnessed her change with his own eyes yesterday, he would certainly not believe that the majestic and confident woman in front of him was actually his third sister-in-law who usually acted without reason.
Xie Zhi originally felt a little worried about his third brother's marital status, but now it seems that the worry was completely unnecessary.
"I don't care about the Women's Federation or the Men's Federation. What can they do to me if I don't get a divorce?"
Guo Shunqiang pretended to be calm, but he was actually very panicked inside.
Due to his lack of cultural knowledge, he had no knowledge of these organizations and laws.
However, Xu Xiufang knew it very well. "
There is nothing wrong with not getting a divorce, but beating your wife is a legal responsibility. Do you think you can bully your wife at will? Absolutely not."
Her words revealed an unprecedented seriousness, and she was deeply disgusted by the bad attitude of some men towards women in this era.
"Who do you think you are? How much of what you said is true? You were shameless back then and used that bed sheet to force a marriage, but now you're a moral defender. You're really shameless to the extreme."
Guo Shunqiang's words were full of contempt, and he tried to humiliate Xu Xiufang.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Xiufang did not panic, but instead accepted her past self calmly.
"I used to be like that, but that doesn't stop my sister from divorcing you. Xie Yi is willing to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me. We love each other, so what's wrong with that?"
Her voice was calm and firm, without any evasion.
"You are the one who keeps pestering me. If it were any other woman, she wouldn't even want me for free."
Guo Shunqiang's face was full of disgust and his words were frankly unconcealed, completely exposing his narrow-mindedness and selfishness.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. Where did such a person get the confidence to say such shameless words?
The villagers couldn't bear to watch this any longer and stood up to speak up for Xu Xiufang.
"Do you have any shame? With those weed-like hairs of yours, are you worthy enough to mention Xu Xiufang's name?"
"That's right. He makes more money in a day than you do in several days of hard work. He even has his own shop in the city. What qualifications do you have to say such things?"
"He is just a clown, a typical sour grapes."
Various discussions arose one after another, full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction towards Guo Shunqiang.
Guo Shunqiang felt so angry that he wished he could disappear from everyone's sight immediately.
I originally wanted to say a few words based on the friendship between fellow villagers, but seeing this situation, I didn't dare to open my mouth, for fear that if I said one more word, I would be scolded and beaten more.
At this moment, Guo Shunqiang felt mixed emotions and was very nervous.
At this critical moment, Xie Yi and two staff members of the Women's Federation stepped into the yard.
Guo Shunqiang realized that his previous words and actions were out of control, and he even lost the courage to look up at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi walked up to Xu Xiufang and asked gently, "Are you okay?"
Xu Xiufang shook her head gratefully and said softly, "I'm fine."
The heavy stone in Xie Yi's heart finally fell to the ground.
Xie Zhi felt more at ease when he saw his third brother personally come forward to handle the matter.
Although he was also willing to uphold justice, in this situation, it would be more appropriate for Xie Yi to step forward, especially since he had invited the leader of the Women's Federation, the matter would obviously be better resolved.
