After Su Xiu left, Su Wen took over the laundry. She took Zhou Hengyang’s changed clothes and put into a new washing basin. Then, she carried them along.
Someone who was chopping firewood saw this and smirked.
Little Sister Su and Sixth Sister Su followed Su Wen like her shadow. They were fighting to help Big Sister wash the clothes. Sixth Sister’s brain worked quickly. She knew that Big Sister cared about her brother-in-law the most, so she had to behave well.
“Brother-in-law, I am going to the river to wash clothes with Big Sister. You stay at home, okay? Remember to call us if you need anything!” Zhou Hengyang was usually serious, but he smiled and nodded.
This time, he felt even more deeply.
Zhou Hengyang understood that the way his sisters-in-laws treated him depended on Su Wen. Among the six sisters, the most cunning one was not the older one, but Sixth Sister Su. She was the one who followed Su Wen’s attitude the most.
Sixth Sister blinked. She felt that her brother-in-law had noticed it.
By the river, a large group of people were washing clothes. In summer, the weather was hot. It was exhausting to work under such a weather. So, the sweat-stained clothes had to be washed every day. When Su Wen arrived, everyone was chatting while doing the laundry. They were discussing about the incident last night when Zhao Jiangang was kicked.
A group of married women would joke about everything.
Su Wen received a warm welcome the moment she arrived.
“Little Wen is here.”
“Wen, tell us what happened last night.”
Everyone looked at Su Wen with bright eyes.
Su Wen took out a handful of clothes and soaked them in water. Then, she sprinkled some washing powder. She paused and thought for a moment. She couldn’t help but smile evilly.
“Do you want to know?”
“I want to know. I didn’t hear anything last night. I only heard about it this morning. ”
“That’s right. If you encounter hooligans again in the future, you have to call us to save you.”
They hated hooligans the most.
“Actually, I didn’t want to say it. Since everyone wants to know, I’ll answer then.” Su Wen showed a disgusted expression as she elaborated, “It’s really disgusting. I didn’t expect Zhao Jiangang to be a bad guy despite his good looks. He’s a cultured scum.”
Everyone stared at her nervously and urged, “Tell me, quick.”
“What did he do?”
Didn’t you know?” Su Wen’s eyes widened in shock as she continued, “I heard someone mention this before! Zhao Jiangang looked gentle and polite on the surface, but he was actually sinister on the inside. He was just trying to deceive ignorant girls.’
“Really?”
“Wen, have you been deceived before?”
When Su Wen heard this, she laughed and splashed water on the person who spoke. The woman who spoke was not angry. Instead, she laughed.

“Do I look like someone who would be deceived? I already knew what kind of person Zhao Jiangang was. The reason why I didn’t fall out with him was for everyone’s good. In fact, I hated him.’
This time, everyone could not believe it. In the past, Su Wen had mentioned that she was interested in Zhao Jiangang. She even said that she wanted to change son-in-law!
Some of them who did not have a good relationship with the original character mocked her, “Su Wen, stop flattering yourself. Do I not know what kind of person you are? It’s too late. Stop trying to deny it.”
Su Wen did not get angry. It was useless to get angry anyway. She wanted to completely ruin Zhao Jiangang’s reputation and make him a street rat.
She hadn’t thought about it before. Fortunately, she came here and suddenly thought of a detail in the novel when she heard everyone’s discussion. If she used it well, she felt that Zhao Jiangang would be finished..
Chapter 227: Strange Things

“What I said is true. Think about it, Hengyang is a good man. He’s far better looking than a sick man like Zhao Jiangang. Besides, if I was really interested in him, would I kick him so hard that he became a eunuch?”
Her words were reasonable and well-founded, so everyone was convinced.
Zhou Hengyang had good personality and appearance. Everyone would give him a thumbs up!
Zhao Jiangang was not a match for him at all! He was a head shorter than Zhou Hengyang, as skinny as a dried shrimp, and his eyes were cloudy. Anyone could tell that he was up for no good.
“I didn’t say it before because of Zhao Jiangang’s aunt, matchmaker Zhao. If I offend Zhao Jiangang, his aunt will go around saying bad things about the young ladies and young men of Trinity village. Then, the young people of our village can’t get good partners. Because I always ignored Zhao Jiangang, he wanted to touch me last night. Fortunately, Hengyang came back and saved me. Don’t you think that he deserved it? I was kind enough that I didn’t kick him to death.”
These words caused a big commotion.
All of them had children in their families. When they heard it, they were all filled with righteous indignation. They rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat up Zhao Jiangang.
“Pfft! If he dares to come to Trinity Village again, I will beat him up.”
“Yes! I’ll beat him up too.”
“He’s too wicked. We should tell everyone about this scum and let everyone be on guard against him.”
In the countryside, people would check about their future in-laws before marriage even if he or she was introduced by relatives and friends. If someone talked bad about him or her, it would leave a big impact. Even if they knew it was fake, no one dared to take the risk.
What if it was true?
Wouldn’t they harm the daughters for the rest of their life?
With that, they would change their minds and stopped the marriage.
“I remember now. Someone mentioned matchmaker Zhao last night, so the village chief let Zhao Jiangang go. Village Chief must be afraid that
Matchmaker Zhao will spread rumors and talk bad about our young men in Trinity Village.”
The person who spoke was a young lady who was around last night. She had undoubtedly made people believe it even more.
Su Wen snickered in her heart and continued, “Not only that, but I also heard that Zhao Jiangang is a pervert.”
“Pervert?”
“How is he a pervert?”
“It’s quite scary.”
Su Wen lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “I’m telling you guys, please don’t tell anyone!”
All the people washing clothes by the river were gathered. Even shy young girls could not help but get curious. Zhao Lili, Sun Xiaocao, and Su Pingping who were not on good terms with Su Wen were attracted too.
Not to mention the others.
Sharing a common secret or hobby was the best way to get close to someone.
Now that everyone thought that Su Wen was alright, no one believed that she would fall for Zhao Jiangang.

“Have you heard of the strange things in the Plum Furrow?”
“What strange things?” “I’ve heard of it.’
“I’ve heard of it too.’
There were actually quite a number of people who knew about it. Those who did not know anxiously asked. Without waiting for Su Wen to answer, they started to talk at once.
“My cousin married in Plum Furrow. I heard that the women there often got their underwear stolen. However, they couldn’t catch the thief.. Tell me, why would one steal an underwear?”
Chapter 228: Just So-so
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Oh my god, how hateful.’
“It’s not that. This thief only steals women’s underwear.”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s expression changed. Clearly, they were disgusted.
“Wen, did you mean Zhao Jiangang stole the underwear? Really?”
How could Su Wen guarantee that? She replied vaguely, “I was eavesdropping. It was Zhao Jiangang and Su…” She had almost said it. When she looked up, she saw Su Pingping’s pale face and trembling body in the crowd. Su Wen bit her lip and changed her words.
She hated Su Pingfan’s viciousness, but she would let him off this time. She didn’t want to ruin his reputation and implicate other innocent people with the surname Su.
Who told you that? Hurry up and say it.”
“I overheard Zhao Jiangang bragging about how he liked to steal women’s underwear. He would hide them at home without throwing them away. He would stuff them into a pillowcase and use it as a pillow every day. Don’t you think that’s disgusting and perverted?”
Zhao Jiangang’s perverted hobby was mentioned in the novel. However, that was discovered by the original character when he went to the Su family. But the original character didn’t have the guts to say it. Zhao Jiangang was lucky. This time, Su Wen could return the favor together.
Everyone had goosebumps.
Sun Xiaocao, Su Pingping, and the other girls’ expressions changed. They covered their mouths with pale faces.
“How hateful.
“No, we can’t let the pervert off.”
“My cousin’s underwear was also stolen. I have to tell my cousin about this.”
My daughter is married to the Plum Furrow. She complained to me the last time she came back. No, I have to tell her now.”
This time, no one was in the mood to wash the clothes. They carried the basin back and rushed to the Plum Furrow. Some went to watch the show, while others went to tell their relatives. They all left in a short while. Only Su Wen, Sixth Sister, and Little Sister were left by the riverside.
Su Wen was not surprised at all. In this era, everyone would bring their stools and travel more than ten miles to watch a movie together. Moreover, it was such a pervert thing to steal underwear and use it as a pillow.
Most of them had watched the movies, but they had never heard of such a thing.
“Big Sister.” Sixth Sister’s eyes were filled with splendor as she said, “You’re really amazing.” She wanted to learn from Big Sister.
Little Sister Su, the little lackey, was also filled with admiration.
“Just so-so.” She had taken advantage of her transmigration. Otherwise, she would not have known.
After Zhao Jiangang was kicked out last night, he came back to the village to see the doctor. The doctor was shocked to see his injuries. It was tragic. He gave him medicine and looked at him sympathetically.
The doctor would usually ask for money for a fever medicine. But this time, he did not ask for money.

Zhao Jiangang offered to pay, but the doctor rejected him sternly.
Seeing that Zhao Jiangang was in such a miserable state, he didn’t want to charge him any fees.
He took some anti-inflammatory painkillers and applied some medicine. After resting for a night, he felt slightly better. While Zhao Jiangang was lying in bed to recuperate, he swore to himself that he would make that b*tch Su Wen beg for mercy and pay the price later.
This b*tch deserved to die.
Just as he was fantasizing to his heart’s content, the door was suddenly smashed open. A large group of people came in, even Mr. and Mrs. Zhao could not stop them..
Chapter 229: It’s Over
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Zhao family was a big family in Plum Furrow. The Zhao family became even more arrogant and domineering with the presence of matchmaker Zhao from the same village.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were furious to see so many people barging into their house. However, there were aunties and sisters-in-law among them. They could not scold and offend these ladies.
“What are you doing? What are you ladies doing?” Zhao Jiangang thought that the news of him being kicked by Su Wen last night had spread to Plum Furrow. He thought they were here to see him as a joke. He got angry and anxious. His gentle face immediately changed.
When everyone saw him, they became even more agitated. They rushed forward and pushed Zhao Jiangang to the side roughly. They grabbed the pillow on the bed and tore it apart.
“Rip it!”
The pillowcase was split into two, and various colored underwear fell on the ground. Some were new, some were old, some were big, and some were small. Not only that, there was also a very old and dirty pillow in the bed. After discovering it, they snatched it over and tore it open again.
“Rip it!”
This pillow was bigger, and more underwear fell out of it. All the underwear formed a pile on the ground.
The room fell into a strange silence.
Zhao Jiangang did not expect it at all, nor did he have the time to stop it. After the pillowcase was torn open, he sat on the bed with a pale face and bruises. There was only one thought in his mind.
It was over!
This time, it was completely over.
In the future, no one in the village would believe that he was a refined, polite, and ambitious young man.
Now that he had become a street rat that everyone hated, he would be too shameful to go out!
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao’s faces turned pale, and they suddenly blacked out.
“You pervert.” Someone took the lead and roared. She rushed forward and punched Zhao Jiangang.
As the victim, one could imagine how angry they were. The stolen underwea incident in the village had happened for several years. It seemed that Zhao Jiangang had started stealing underpants when he was in his teens. After so many years, the people in the village had long accumulated a lot of anger.
Now, they realized that the thief who stole the underwear was actually Zhao Jiangang whom everyone had praised. One would get so angry to think of th young man who had been secretly stealing his wife’s underwear.
Not only was Zhao Jigang beaten, even Mr and Mrs Zhao could not escape.

After washing the clothes, Su Wen came back to find that the yard was filled with chopped firewood. Some broken farm tools and chicken coops had also been repaired. They were all placed together in an orderly manner. Even the chipped wall after the rain had been fixed by Zhou Hengyang.
Su Wen’s eyes were filled with admiration.
It was different to have a man. There were many things that she had not thought of. Now that it was done, the entire courtyard was different. After making the steamed cake, she had finished all the firewood that Zhou Hengyang had chopped before he left. Recently, she had been burning straw for cooking.
There was too much ash. The flame was not strong enough either. The dishes were not as nice as before! With the straw, she couldn’t even make Little Sister’s favorite rice crust. That was a big headache to her! She was planning to bring the sisters into the mountains to get some pine leaves.
There were a lot of pine trees on the nearby hills. A lot of pine needles had fallen and piled up the ground. They could get more than 100 catties of pine needles with the rake in a day. These pine needles were good for cooking..

Now that Zhou Hengyang was back, these problems were easily solved.
It was simply too nice.
“Where are you going?” As Su Wen was thinking happily while hanging the clothes, she was shocked to see Zhou Hengyang. He was holding an axe and heading out.
He couldn’t be looking for trouble, right?
He even used a weapon as powerful as the axe. How valiant!
Zhou Hengyang knew what she was thinking the moment he met her eyes. H could not help but poke Su Wen’s cheek. He said, “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing.” Su Wen would never admit it.
“Then what do you think I’m going to do with an axe?”
Su Wen braced herself and guessed, “Uh… You can’t be hacking people, right?
I’m going to chop the firewood.” He was worried about Su Wen without him around. “I see that you’ve used more firewood in the past two months than before. The firewood isn’t enough, so I have to get more.”
At the very least, it had to be enough for her to use until the new year.
Only then did Su Wen realize that she had thought too badly of him. She ingratiatingly. “Do you need my help?”
Zhou Hengyang had never thought of asking Su Wen for help. After heari suggestion, he looked at her and nodded.
“Then come with me!”
Su Wen was speechless.
She was just being polite. Why did this person take it seriously?
“Good! It’s my honor.” She wanted to learn from her Little Sister and be a qualified lackey.
Big Sister, you should leave quickly! I’ll hang the rest of the clothes with Sister,” Sixth Sister smiled and waved at Su Wen. She even blinked when Hengyang was not looking.
“Then once you guys finish hanging the clothes, learn how to read and cc together, okay?”
“Okay,” Sixth Sister couldn’t wait to chase Su Wen away. She turned arom gave Little Sister Su a devilish smile.” Little Sister, from today onwards, I only your sister, I’m also your teacher.”
Little Sister hugged herself pitifully and said, “Alright! I’ll listen to Sixth Sister.” She thought to herself, ‘Xiao Ya, where are you? Your aunt have b bullied very badly.’
‘Why aren’t you here to save me?’
‘Sob… Su Xiaoya, you’re a bad guy who doesn’t keep your word.’
Clear Water County was blessed with a unique geographical condition. Clear Water River had nurtured the entire county’s population of more than 300,000 people. Several continuous mountain ranges in the county brought rich mineral resources.
The mountains were not high, so there were abundant trees and wild animals.

Many villagers liked to go to the mountains to cut firewood, and dig wild herbs. Before the dawn, they would go to the mountains to pick wild tea leaves and honeysuckles.
The Trinity Village was not in the mountainous area. It was about twenty miles away. The villagers often went to the mountains before dawn. They would bring their own food for lunch and only come back at night. If they had relatives in the nearby village, they would stay with the relatives for the night.
Su Wen had previously planned to pick tea leaves and wild fruits on the mountain, but she gave up the idea because she was worried of her safety. After leaving home, she told Zhou Hengyang about her plan.
You’re right. Fortunately, you didn’t bring Su Qing and Su Xiu up the mountain. It’s indeed not safe.” Zhou Hengyang’s thick brows furrowed as a sudden thought flashed across his mind.
“The outskirts of the mountain have been cleaned up long ago. There are no pine needles, let alone wild fruits and tea. If you want to harvest something, you have to go deep into the mountains. The mountains were very dangerous. Other than wild beasts, there were also traps made by hunters. The deep mountains belonged to Black Eagle Village. They do not welcome outsiders You girls might meet some hooligans..”
