Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Reckless Talk Invites Disaster

    The crowd watching opened up a gap, and the middle-aged man who was called out looked embarrassed.

    "This... What does your man''s death have to do with me?"

    Seeing this, everyone couldn''t help frowning.

    Who didn''t know that, over a decade ago, Wang Jinshun accidentally fell into the water, and Yue Dashan, who happened to pass by, dove in to save him without even taking off his clothes.

    Wang Jinshun struggled desperately, causing both of them to be unable to surface.

    Yue Dashan used his last breath to push the man ashore, but he himself never made it back up.

    Lin Chunju looked at him coldly, her gaze making Wang Jinshun''s head hang lower and lower.

    He felt guilty.

    It was true that Yue Dashan had died for him; at the time, Lin Chunju was pregnant and taking care of three other children.

    The head of the production team said Yue Dashan was the only labor force in the family.

    With him gone, it was very hard for the widow and orphans to survive in those times, so they made Wang Jinshun give half of his work points and food to the Yue Family every month.@@@@

    Wang Jinshun immediately backtracked, claiming that Yue Dashan didn''t save him, that he had been swimming in the river, and Yue Dashan drowned himself by being a busybody, so it had nothing to do with him.

    He felt he had done nothing wrong, although Lin Chunju had given birth prematurely due to this incident, and the child that was born, Yue Jiannan, was not healthy, but after all, didn''t he survive?

    Now aren''t all members of the Yue Family living well? What fault did he have!

    Thinking of this, Wang Jinshun raised his head, "Yue Dashan drowned in the river because of his own misfortune."

    There is cause and effect in the Tao, and irresponsible words must bring disaster.

    With Wang Jinshun''s performance, Er Gou''s wife became aggressive again.

    "From now on, everyone in the village should stay away from Widow Lin, be careful not to be cursed by her."

    Zhang, the village chief, said angrily, "The government has long said that we should break free from feudal superstitions, and from now on, no one is allowed to say such things!"

    Er Gou''s wife pursed her lips and, not daring to confront the village chief, picked up the basin from the ground and went back inside.

    Her hair still disheveled, but she looked like a cocky, victorious rooster.

    Wang Xiaoni trembled with anger, leaning against Lin Chunju.

    "Mom, don''t listen to her nonsense; your fate is very good, and it will get better and better."

    Lin Chunju patted her back.

    "You go back inside quickly, don''t catch a cold."

    Village Chief Zhang sighed and dispersed the crowd.

    "Alright, go about your business, don''t just stand here foolishly."

    Turning back, he consoled Lin Chunju, "Sister-in-law of the Yue Family, don''t mind these words, the events of the past... sigh, justice is in people''s hearts."

    Yue Qingqing pursed her little lips and struggled to poke her head out from the swaddling, watching the direction Wang Jinshun left.

    Wang Jinshun''s retreating figure was enveloped in darkness.
