"I'll return it all, I'll return it all to you!" Su Xiaoxiao cried, pushing aside the person blocking her way and running back to the educated youth point.
"Fu Zhiqing, hurry and go see. If there's a lot of stuff, I'll have my man bring over our donkey cart to help you," Xiao Hong said to Fu Wenwen. Fu Wenwen looked at Xiao Hong gratefully. "Thank you, Sister Xiao Hong, and thank you all for speaking up for me today."
Fu Wenwen bowed to the villagers. The villagers, who had never received such a grand gesture, quickly pulled her up. "Fu Zhiqing, we're all neighbors. No need to be so formal. We only said a few words to help you, it's all minor."
"You can't say that. If it weren't for everyone's help, she might not have returned it to me! And she's a girl, I couldn't very well barge in and snatch it," Fu Wenwen said with a smile. "It's embarrassing to say, but I heard her instigating me before, and I did many foolish things. I apologize to everyone here and hope you can forgive me."
"So it was Su Zhiqing who instigated you? I knew it! Fu Zhiqing isn't like that kind of promiscuous woman," Xiao Hong exclaimed loudly, winking at Fu Wenwen.
Fu Wenwen smiled sheepishly. "Marrying Lin Feng was also an accident. I was dizzy then and didn't know what was happening. She told me that Lin Feng had taken advantage of me and I had to marry him. The whole thing was a blur. Later, after marrying Lin Feng, he told me the truth. Clearly, he had saved me from bad people, but in Su Xiaoxiao's mouth, he became the villain."
Fu Wenwen seized the opportunity to clear Lin Feng's name. Indeed, Lin Feng had suffered much injustice in this matter.
"Hiss, so that's how it was!"
"I knew it! Lin Feng, that kid, has been upright since he was young. How could he possibly do something like that!"
"It was all that Su Zhiqing's doing. Otherwise, we wouldn't have misunderstood Lin Feng."
"That Su Zhiqing is a menace!"
The villagers exchanged glances. They had known Lin Feng's character since they were children, and Lin Feng was even a soldier. They couldn't believe he would do such a thing.
Fu Wenwen was the main party involved, and now that she had said so, this must have been a misunderstanding.
"To be honest, marrying Lin Feng wasn't my wish. I, you see, have liked Liu Zihua since I was young. But he never said he didn't like me, and he always strung me along. After marrying Lin Feng, Su Xiaoxiao kept telling me I should pursue the person I love and that I should pursue Liu Zihua. That's why I..." Fu Wenwen sighed. "I made many a fool of myself, and I apologize for the amusement I caused everyone."
"So, you don't like Liu Zihua anymore?" Xiao Hong asked, voicing the question everyone wanted to know.
"I don't like him anymore! He's not worth my affection! He's simply blind. You all saw how he always sided with that Su Xiaoxiao and looked down on me since childhood! Now I see clearly, he's not a good person. From now on, I'll stay with Lin An, take good care of him, and live our lives well! I also ask everyone to supervise me and trust me one more time." As Fu Wenwen said this, the villagers' gazes towards her changed.
"Fu Zhiqing, what you say must be true!" an old woman said to Fu Wenwen.
Fu Wenwen nodded heavily. "I definitely won't let you down!"
"Good!!!" The villagers applauded one after another, moved by Fu Wenwen's sincerity and deciding to trust her this time.
The villagers dispersed contentedly. Xiao Hong quickly pulled Fu Wenwen aside. "You should hurry home and put your things away, then go to the educated youth point. I'll have my man bring the donkey cart over to help you with your belongings now."
