Chapter 210 - 210 Slander
210 Slander
Zhao Lin and Mr. Wei knew that Yu Bing wanted to use this as an excuse to force Madam Sun to let them meet Wen Qin, so they claimed that they wanted to hold Wen Qin accountable.
Madam Sun believed them and cursed Wen Qin for causing trouble for the family. She took out her key to open the door. ...
The three of them followed her into the courtyard and saw Wen Qin, whose hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, sitting on the ground beside the chicken shed in the courtyard. Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and there were bruises. She had clearly been beaten up. Her mouth was so dry that it had cracked and she leaned against the wall weakly.
When Yu Bing and the others saw Wen Qin’s situation, their expressions changed drastically. Yu Bing quickly stepped forward to untie her. When Madam Sun saw Yu Bing’s actions, she immediately ordered her son, “What are you doing? Sun Guo, stop her!”
Sun Guo immediately pushed Yu Bing away and stood in front of Wen Qin.
Yu Bing was caught off guard and staggered a few steps back. Then, she looked at Madam Sun and Sun Guo angrily as she said, “She’s a human, not a beast. You have no right to restrict her freedom like this!”
Zhao Lin went forward to support Yu Bing. As the female director, she had mediated many family conflicts, but she had never seen such an evil mother-in-law who treated her daughter-in-law as subhuman. She couldn’t help but ask loudly, “What right do you have to tie her up like this?”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t said anything, but once she did, the anger in Madam Sun’s heart intensified. “I don’t think your food factory is a decent place! It’s just a lewd place with messy relationships. You actually dared to bring a lecher to look for this b*tch. I plan to call the police. I’m going to report you!”
These words stunned everyone. When Yu Bing saw Madam Sun staring at Mr. Wei with a vicious gaze, she understood.
Wen Qin was already numb to her mother-in-law slandering her. However, now that her mother-in-law was using her as an excuse to criticize Mr. Wei, she felt ashamed and angry. “Mom, Mr. Wei and I are innocent. We’ve never been alone together! You can’t slander him like this!”
Yu Bing could tell who was truly in charge of the Sun family, so she ignored Sun Guo and looked at Madam Sun. “Madam Sun, you have to have evidence. If you falsely accuse us and damage our factory’s reputation, our factory will hold you accountable!”
Madam Sun’s eyes flickered. Then, she thought of someone and said, “I have a witness! Xiao Hui, call your second uncle over!”
Xiao Hui looked around at the adults in front of him with hesitation. After receiving his mother’s affirmative gaze, he ran out of the house.
Yu Bing gestured for Zhao Lin to feed the sweet potatoes in her hand to Wen Qin first. Madam Sun thought that they had brought the food, so she didn’t say anything.
Soon, Lai Tong was called over. The village chief and Madam Zhou were also here. Madam Zhou had asked her grandson to call the village chief because she knew the Sun family too well. Worried that Yu Bing and the others would suffer, she specifically asked the village chief to come.
Madam Sun looked at Lai Tong with a meaningful look in her eyes. “Lai Tong, didn’t you say that you saw Wen Qin with Mr. Wei last time?”
Lai Tong had indeed seen the two of them talking together. On the day the food factory came to the village to collect eggs, their family didn’t make it in time, so he could only make a trip. When he arrived, he happened to see Wen Qin and Mr. Wei loading the car and counting the goods in the courtyard, but the driver was still waiting to set off.
Wen Qin was beautiful and elegant. When she first came to the village, Lai Tong pursued Wen Qin eagerly. The entire village knew about it, but Wen Qin rejected him without hesitation. Not long after, she married Sun Guo.
Sun Guo was 35 years old at that time. Because his family was poor, he had never gotten a wife, so Lai Tong had always held a grudge because of this. Wasn’t this a slap in his face?
Wen Qin’s actions were equivalent to telling the entire village that a virile 20-year-old was inferior to a blind old bachelor. At that time, Lai Tong was so embarrassed that he didn’t even dare to leave the house!
Therefore, when Lai Tong returned to the village and met Madam Sun and Sun Guo, he deliberately mentioned this matter.
Although it was a true description, it sounded very vague. Everyone around the Sun family knew how strict Madam Sun was with Wen Qin. Lai Tong knew that his description would definitely make Wen Qin lose her job. This could be considered revenge for the humiliation Wen Qin gave him back then.
Lai Tong was telling the truth back then. Madam Sun was paranoid, so he wasn’t worried that this matter would implicate him at all. He told them the truth again in a serious tone.
When Madam Sun heard this, she was a little stunned. “That’s not what you said that day!”
Lai Tong looked at Madam Sun in amusement. “Madam Sun, what am I wrong about?”
